BETTER THAN BOOMS.

Some public experiences come to a
city or locality never to return. So
far as Honolulu is concerned the an
exation boom was one of them That
great initiation was due to gambler S
guess that Honolulu, once in the
Union, would be good place in which
to speculate for year or two. So
strangers flocked in and bought things
and sent prices up. The boom lasted
two years and vast amount of money
changed hands and the transient white
population grew apace. Then the
usual collapse arrived and we had as
much stagnation as an income of some
millions per year for sugar would per-
init.
Booms do not reCur, at least not
oftener than lightning strikes twice
in the same spot. But if town is
good for anything it has something
better than a chance of speculation
with which to attract men and cap
ital and all the elements of prosperous
growth That is why Los Angeles
grew after the disastrous collapse Of
1883. Driven to the country, many of
the stranded boomers began to cult
vate the land and they soon developed
unexpected riches. The value of the
climate and scenery as an asset came
to be appreciated, Before long Los
Angeles, which emerged from the in
iiated boom with $4,000 people entered
an era of healthy growth which has
increased her population to about $780,
900 and more coming. The change
from the day of feverish speculation
to that of tourist travel and calm in
vestment was most beneficial. Ceas-
ing to advertise corner lots, the Los
Angelinos proclaimed their wealth of
climate, scenery and agricultural land
and people began going there for
health, pleasure and industry. But
In all the time from 1883 to 1903 there
has been no recurrence of the boom.
Some Honolulu people hope that the
boom of 1898 will come back, but we
think they will wait for 1t in vain
Like Los Angeles, however, there is a
chance for Honolulu to get something
vastly better than any form of specu-
lative imitation. If our public aSri-
cultural land could be surveyed and
:. lvertised on the mainland whenever
n sufficient tract is ready to be sold,
we should soon see white producers
tlocliing this way. Honolulu Is al
ready after tourists, but it needs to
see that there is no possible lack or
funds to carry on the work of getting
them. Turists and small farmers
could easily be the making of a new
and greater Honolulu. The former
class spends money generously, often
invests in local securities or perhaps
become part of the citizenship, The
latter settles on the soil and makes it
add to the common store of food and
to the aggregate of taxable property,
Between the two Is prosperity and ma
terial growth for the Territory in gen.
eral and this city in particular.

CHINESE FOOTPAD'S
VICTIM IS DEAD

Oda, the second japanese to be as
saulted by the Chinese highwayman
on the Moanalua road, died from his
wounds Saturday about midnight at
the Japanese hospital on Liliha street
A coroner's jury was empannelled and
viewed the body. The inquest will
probably be held today. Oda had been
shot twice in the left side of the abdo-
men.
No trace of the highwayman has yet
been found.

ANOTHER ATTACK
UPON COUNTY ACT

1t is rumored that the County Act
is TO be attacked in the courts on the
ground that the board of supervisors is
an illegal body, in that the Organic
Act puts the appointment of all boards
of public character, besides those
mentioned therein, in the hands of the
Governor by and with the consent of
the Senate.
The point is the same-though its
application may prove to be quite Diff
ferent-as that which Judge Gear sus-
tained, now pending on appeal in the
supreme Court, with regard to the
board Of public institutions created by
the County Act

FORESTRY WORK.

Forester Halls recommendations deal
not only with questions of forest res
ervation and forest protection, but also
with the necessity for replacing some
of the Improbable trees of Hawaii
with those which are commercially val
liable.
The ohia lehua, which comprises
a large part of the island forests, is OF
little value. In Mr.. Halls opinion
commercial woods should be substitute
ed, and although the process Will be
a long one it will without doubt pay in
the end For instance the koa forests,
which are rapidly dwindling away,
might with government aid be replen-
ished to something of their old time
grandeur. The koa is one of the most
beautiful of furniture woods.
Kou and sandal wood can be prop
agated with success. Both woods
tlourished we'll many years ago. and
even then We're considered of great
value. These are examples only of
woods which it is known will grow in
Hawaii.
The introduction of new trees Will
probably be the most important work
for the local chief of the forestry divi-
sion who is to be sent here by Mr..
PinChot. The red wood and red fir are
two Of the woods mentioned by name
by Mr.. Hall, who believes they would
do we'll in certain portions of the noun
tains. The northwest pine is another
tree which it is said will grow well
in the islands. There are many vari-
cites of other climes which need but
to be introduced to show their worth
and which might probably be eX-
perimented with on idle government
lands. The new forester will have
work in plenty for years to come.
