to be- pleased at the very favorable
views held by the Pathfinder people
relative to Hilo bay. They are of
course the only views that could be
held. for the natural excellence OF this
harbor il undlsputed. II Is one thing,
/ however. TO know we have a good har-
/ Dor. and another thing that the United
States Government should know II,
and the latter fact is certainly long
| step in the direction of harbor inn
provement, and toward the making OF
this naval station of greater or less
importance for the Government.
Every commander of vessels either
commercial or governmental, who en-
tiers this port goes away most favorably
| impressed and disseminates views in
accordance with those impressions
II Is not therefore too much to hope
that the sanitary troubles which have
made Honolulu largely a closed port
will react for our benefit, SINCE many
vesseis will be turned in our direction.
| Honolulu has always aimed to paint
| Hilo in the blacklist colors of the navi-
gator in her own harbor, and 1t Is only
in contingencies like this that we can
hope to counterfeit these falsehoods.
