HILO, June Cuisines in Hilo is re-
ported in all quarters as improving May
was one of the dullest in the past twelve
months, but as trade Is gradually i'm
proving the outlook is encouraging. It
been but one failure, and that a small
one, during the year. The discontinue
ance of the Tfilo branch of the First
American Savings & Trust Co. should
not be taken as an indication that Hilo
is going to the demnition bow-wows; the
First Bank of Hilo has been increasing
its business from day to day, and its
stockholders have received splendid re-
turns on their investment. The reason
for the difference in the two rival con-
Germs is that the one about to retire from
the field is backed almost entirely by Hos
nolulu capital; 1t is without local board
Of directors and all applications for loans
must be submitted to Honolulu before ac-
ton can be taken. Frequently this means
one or two and sometimes three weeks
delay. With the First Bank of Hilo APP
plications are passed upon almost imme-
diately and the business man in need OF
funds knows at once whether or not he
will be accommodated. Business flows
resistance and delay in the matter of get
ting accommodation of financial char
acter may be considered, to a certain
extent, as a resistance. &C is possible,
of course, that Hilo is not far enough
advanced to support two banks; it GER
| tainly will not support two where the
sale of exchange at the present low rate
| is depended upon as the chief source of
profit.-Hilo Herald.
KILLED AT KUKAIAU.
| While the steamer Kaiulani was taking
on sugar at Kukaiau on Tuesday a ma
/ tive boat steerer was killed by being
crushed on the rocks. It seems that the
boat that he was steering had four other
sailors and, though the sea was not
! rough the boat was allowed to get close
| inshore. The boat steerer and two of the
sailors became alarmed and jumped
overheard. The sailors swan out toward
the steamer. but the boat steerer was
thrown against the rocks and killed. The
boat containing the two who remained in
\ 1t drifted to sea, as the men had no oars,
and the steamer put after them and
brought them safely on board. The cap
| tain afterwards brought his vessel to
Hilo and reported the accident to Super
| intendent Poor. Another accident TO a
Wilder's sailor happened last week at
Honohina- A Japanese sailor, who was
going ashore for his own pleasure fell
