San Francisco and it is probable that
it will not take longer to get goods
that way from the Atlantic seaboard
than it does now from Chicago. The
new line will bring Hawaii in as close
touch with the eastern merchants as it
now is with those on the Pacific Coast.
The benefits to be derived from this
closer connection cannot be estimated
in dollars; heretofore the Islands have
had only the influence of the residents
of the Pacific Coast States because
they were the persons directly behe-
fitted by trade relations. When the
merchants began dealing direct with
the manufacturers, and many of the
orders sent out are large enough to be
considered factory orders, the east will
/ be as keen after the trade as the west,
| and the influence of the monied manu-
| facturers will be given for Hawaii
benefit Closer competition in selling
goods on the Mainland will bring
down the prices for the consumer.
Hilo Shipping.
! When the contract is let for carry
| ing the United States mails, says the
Hilo Herald, the time of departure of
the Kinau will probably be settled so
| that it cannot be changed whenever
| Honolulu runs short of beef and has
to- call on Hawaii for supply. The
same rule viii apply to stages and 9TH
er means of transportation.
/ II the people of Hilo, says the Hilo
Herald, would purchase a number of
photographs of the wreck of the XII
lauea Hou and distribute them among
I senators and members of Congress,
they might have some effect when the
appropriation for a breakwater is ask
I a. for tippaC
moved to action when an object lesson
is placed before them, and no better
one for this purpose can be found than
these photographs
After being in jail for little more
than four months the four sailors who
We're held for the murder of All Che,
; the Chinese hackman, have been re-
! leased by the grand jury for lack of
evidence, says the Hilo Herald There
was no evidence to begin with against
these men, and during the interval be-
tween the arrest and the dismissal
nothing was found to implicate these
sailors. In the meantime has anything
been done to find the guilty persons :?
Now that these men have been releas-
ed will anything be done to locate 9TH
| erS, or is the case to go down as
| mystery equaled only by some of the
| cases frequently chronicled in metro
politan papers? Hilo is much too
SIildll place d DIS UOlu anu
/, cold FLOODED as this to pass without
finding the culprit. This task is more
difficult now than it was four months
ago, but it is up to the department to
find the men.
