Punch of excellent brew revived the

LOST A FINGER.
A very painful accident occurred at
the Enterprise Planning Mill last Sat-
urday which resulted in the loss of
finger by Dick Behrens, the cabinet
maker In attempting to remove some
work from the saw table, Behrens per-
mtted his left hand to come in con-
tact with the rapidly revolving cir
cular saw, which he believed had been
disconnected. His hand was violent
ly thrown on the rip saw which was
going at a high rate of speed and be-
fore he could recover himself, the
fingers of his left hand We're fearfully
cut and lacerated. Medical assistance
was Immediately secured when it was
found necessary to amputate one of the
fingers. His hand and arm are doing
nicely and under all the circumstances
he is fortunate in not suffering the loss
of his entire hand.
Mr. Behrens attributes the accident
to his own carelessness.-Tribu
THE HILO RAILWAY.
Within two months the terminus of
the Hilo railway in Oaa will be TWEEN
ty-two miles. With that reduction in
the distance to be covered by carriage
to the Volcano the trip may be made
with a little more comfort than at
n a,1n nrt Of a
Journey is beyond twenty-four miles,
section that was almost entirely
washed away by Kona storm early in
February. With the large increase in
the tourist travel it would seem TO be
only q matter of decency to the people
who are asked to visit the Volcano If
this section of the road was improved.
In its present condition it is not particu-
larly beneficial to invalids. Three men
We're at work there last week cutting
away the brush from the sides of the
road but any improvement other than
that was not noticeable A few weeks
ago as many men We're sent to twenty
four miles to throw out the stones that
had accumulated along the road. In
stead of working up where the condi-
ton was the worst they worked down
where it was not particularly needed.
When the road from Honuapo to the
Volcano House is completed 1t is prob
able that the bulk of the travel to the
crater will move that way unless re-
pairs are made to the route from Hilo.
This is a matter which directly affects
the Wilder's company and it is strange
that Mr.. Wight has not done something
in the way of influencing the depart
ment of public works toward having
the needed repairs made. Hilo may be
able to do something but it will re-
quire Herculean efforts to move the
powers at the capital. There is only
a short distance To be repaired and
the sum required is not large.-Herald
NOTES.
It is said that the Board of Education
will soon discontinue its Hilo agency
for the sale of school books and that
when that takes place teachers and
children will be obliged to purchase
their supplies, probably from dealer
in Honolulu at an advance over the
present prices. If there is one thing
more than another needed to make
the pubic ScIpblS oI nav all hlpit W.
noxious than they now are it is a
corner in school supplies.

quenched by the recent rains.
