About the Bridges.
The narrow width of the bridges that
are being constructed by the Govern
ment in and near Hilo is a cause for
much complaint. HilO is not one
horse town to such an extent that 1t
finds one-horse bridge sufficient for
its needs, and the new bridges may
properly be considered one-horse af-
fairs, since two teams can hardly pass
each other on them. Hilo teamsters
are both pious in disposition and Ches-
terfieldian in manner, but it can hardly
be wondered at that they sometimes
fall out over questions of precedence
and right-of-way. using language that
would shock deaf man, when they
get blocked up in large numbers as they
frequently do at the Waiakea and Wal
luku bridges. The worst of it is that
the new bridges are no better.
The pedestrian, also, has a kick.
Strictly speaking, u pedestrian has no
rights which anybody is bound to
respect. The man who walks instead
of taking hack puts himself outside
the pale of human sympathy to large
extent. However sometimes you can't
get hack. In any case if the man who
walks attempts to cross on the above
mentioned bridges he is a good candi-
date for sausage meat. He would bet
ter swim. 1t has been suggested that
the road board build unto the regular
bridge structure sidewalks outside the
ratings, which would then separate
the teams from the pedestrians, and be
a convenience for both. This is quite
generally done throughout the United
States, and where traffic is at all heavy
public safety demands it.-Tribune.
Paauhau Police.
A funny story regarding the efficiency
OF the police force at Paauilo is waited
over from that plantation on a recent
breeze. 1t seems that on Saturday
night the force" decided to raid some
Japanese gamblers and on reaching the
place where the men were playing plac-
ed eight under arrest and seized the
layout and money. Three of the men
were afterwards released upon deposit
ing IS bail per each" and they an
nounced that they would go back to
camp and secure funds for the release
their compatriots. Instead of return
ing with money they brought back
about 200 Japanese who demanded, 1st
The release of the prisoners. I'd, The
return of bail money deposited, Sd,
The refunding of the money gathered
from the table during the raid, and
4th, The return of book in which the
names of witnesses were written. Be
lieving that discretion has cinch on
valor the iailer yielded-and the Incl
dent was closed until Sheriff Andrews
heard of it. Four of the gamblers were
re-arrested, deposited bail and after
wards forfeited. One man, identified
as having made demands upon the jail
err. was tried, convicted, and fined $780,
which his friends will pay.-Herald.
