of which Capt. Kerr states "that
section is generally full, but lower

bridges and waste of saw mills

must eventually prove injurious
to the levee and render it unsafe, y

Dearborn Drug ard Chemical Uerks.

As an example of what energy and
ability VIII accomplish in any given di-
rection, the business which the Dear
horn Drug and Chemical Works have
built up in the Islands. stands out in
bold relief. Previous to '9S they had
been doing business here without So
licitaton. In SO VIM. Fl. Edgar, presi-
dent of the company, visited the ISL
ands, and again in '99, when he estab
lished a branch house here with offices
in the Brewer building, placing Mr..
Edward G. Brown in charge. This
branch house was opened in January,
1900, and since then they have built up
an extensive trade, solely on the merits
of their goods, and are now doing n
highly satisfactory business.
The Dearborn Drug and Chemical
Works, whose main offices and labora-
tories are at Chicago, are large con-
Germ, in fact, the leading house of
their kind. They have branch houses
in New York, Pittsburg, st. Paul. st.
Louis, Denver, San Francisco and Ho-
nolulu, and are represented in almost
every city and town of any conse-
quence. Their compromising works are
located at Chicago, the oil refinery in

grade lubricating oils. They are also
making tests of coal, fuel oils, cements,
building materials. ores, etc, in, fact,
they are analyzers of almost every
thing. as their laboratories, which are
completely equipped for such work, are
in charge OF scientific chemists and
up-to-date experts on steam engineer
ing.
Mr. Edward G. Brown, who is in
charge of the Hawaiian department is
evidently the right man for the posi-
ton, having formed an extensive ac-
quaintance in his travels throughout
the Islands.

though as yet quite young man, has
had long and varied experience in the

The Board Of County Supervisors ad-
journed yesterday afternoon to the regular
meeting in January without taking action
relative to the purchase of a poor farm,
although President Brandes stated emphat-
ically that he intended the farm should be

services Of two competent accountants to
check up the accounts OF the officers whose
terms expire January l..
