Remember We that the Council author
lied an appropriation of $4,000 for the

east of Elba as far west as the hail
went practically no damage was done.
And, the same applied to the edges OF

acres the damage was fearful Fully
half of the worst damaged territory

garden-spot of the county; while the
land is no better, yet it is in better

expected to get a bale of cotton to
the acre, and the belt bid fair to av-
erage two-thirds of bale to the acre
had seasons continued good and no
disaster occurred. But where was
hope and good prospects are now de-
vastation and despair. On a large
number of farms the most conserva-
tive estimate places the loss at 80 per
cent. on cotton; others say 95 per cent;
on nearly all the loss is upward of SO
per cent. on all crops.
Thoroughly reliable men tell of hail

stipulates that in case the Jefferson

ACTING GOVERNOR ATKINSON
REQUIRES CONTRACTOR WHITE
HOUSE TO COMPLY WITH LAW.

Acting Governor Atkinson, after CON
siderable correspondence ON the subject
has caused the revocation of the permit
issued to Contractor Whitehouse, to
use Asiatic or non-citizen labor in carry
ing out the contract for the Ookala-
Kukaiau road. The final letters on
the subject were as follows:
Htlo, Hawaii, July 16, 1904.
Hon. c. S. Holloway, Superintendent Of
Jublic Works, Honolulu.
Sir: Mr.. A. Horner, for the Hama
kua Roard Board, has investigated the
charge that citizens cannot obtain work
on the OOkala-Kukaiau contract and re-
ports that no one has been refused
work That only one native has APP
pied for work, even after being notified
that work was there. 1 presume the
Road Board will mail lou a copy OF his
full report and l trust t may be given
as much publicity as it deserves.
l had precisel" the same experience
two years ago in Hamakua. While
someone, to me unknown, kept writing
to Mr.. Boyd that plenty of citizen labor
wanted work and could not get it,
failed after repeated trials to get any
of them to work. Statements that
citizens cannot get to work, that are
signed by a reasonable party and That
do not give names and dates, are not
worth listening to.

DEPEW
ON EXPOSITION
WORLDS FAIR SUCCESS NOT A
MATTER OF POLITICS, OR OF
LOCALITY.

lFJCAlll1.
All people of all sections seem to be
keenly interested in the success of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
This is true without reference to
politics, as appears from the recent
statement of Senator Depew, who said:
Dave Francis is a Democrat but we
want the Fair to be the greatest sue
ces on record. l speak for the lead
ers of the party when l say that
nothing would please us better than to
have st. LOUIS turn away money and
put up the standing room sign. An
overwhelming success at st. Louis
would be such an unmistakable sign of
prosperity as to furnish the best cam
paign document We could have"
As a matter of fact the Exposition
is too great an enterprise to be domin-
ated by any party or section It is not
only national but international, since
not only every state and territory but
something like sixty foreign nations
have contributed to make it the Queen
of Expeditions"
One finds here the sum and substance
of latter day civilization and progress
together with such an assemblage OF
the peoples of the earth as has never
before been gathered together in one
place.
AS a matter of Education. il becomes
the duty of everyone who can possibly
do so to attend the Fair. but if this is
not possible, it is easily within the
reach of every man, woman and child
to secure the superb series of Forest
City" Worlds Fair Art Portfolios
which we are now distributing to our
readers
1t should be borne in mind that this
ris the official series, the originals of
the views being taken by the official
photographer while the descriptions
are all written by Walter 3. Steven,
the Secretary of the Louisiana Pur'
chase Exposition.
The cost of these portfolios, divided
into thirty parts each part containing
IS views, is merely nominal, it being
only necessary to send or bring 10 cents,
together with a Forest CITY, coupon
and any Tart issued will be delivered
! or mailed.
The regular price of each portfolio Is
% cents but we have secured a special
concession for our readers, and it is a
privilege which they highly appreciate,
which is evidenced by the fact that the
distribution is increasing in popularity
each week. Six parts now ready.

g. VI. GERE,
Road Engineer.


c. $. Holloway, ESQ., superintendent Of
Public Works, Honolulu.
Sir: Since debating last letter which
was sent under this same date, refer
ring to the Whitehouse Ookala- Ku-
kaiau road contract, l beg leave to ack-
nowledge the receipt of your letter OF
the 9Th inst, enclosing copy of a let
ter from G. H. Gere in which the state
ment is made that Mr.. A. HOrner had
carefully investigated the charge that
citizens could not obtain work on the
contract, and that no one had been re-
fused work.
From information which l have, ana
which l feel is absolutely reliable, l
must beg to differ with Mr.. HOrner VI
the Hamakua Road Board. 1t is inn
material what members Of the Road
Board say In this matter. What is ma
terlal is that this contract was enter
ed into on the basis of citizen labor, and
it is now sought to take advantage OF
Aslatic labor which will no doubt be a
benefit to the contractor and loss in
wages to citizens. There are too many
citizens idle at this time all over these
islands to Justify the granting of the
privilege of using Asiatac labor on pun
lie work, and l should only countenapee
it on very extraordinary occasions
The question of referring the matter
to the Road Board for further action IS
no doubt, a good idea, but 1t does not
change my atdtude in the least that the
privilege of using Asiato labor should
be withdrawn.
do not think Mr.. Whitehouse has
shown good faith in the matter by haV'
ing an Asiatic foreman in charge Does
HE mean to state that there are nc
citizen lunas who are available FOL
this work?
In conclusion, l would request that
