BOARD OF TRADE OF HILO.
The Board of Trade of Hilo was the
name adopted last Saturday night by
I a mass meeting of citizens, met to
organize for the upbuilding of the city.
| The attendance was larger and the
! interest more enthusiastic than at the
previous meeting. The report of the
committee on rules and regulations
was made, and in the discussion of the
various proposals the gentlemen pres
ent showed lively interest and under
the discussion that took place the
working plan of the organization as
sumed definite form.
The committee, which consisted of
Messrs. p. Peck C. f.. Wright, b. F..
| Schoen, DIR. Hayes and w. II. Lam
bert, submitted a constitution and by
laws which were in the main satisfac-
tory to all present. These were con.
sidered section by section and minor
alterations suggested and adopted. The
constitution and bylaws will come up
for adoption as a whole at a meeting
| tomorrow night at Fireman's hall.
Election of officers will also probably
take place.
The general plan of organization
provides for a set of permanent work.

ENOCH ARDEN ENTERTAINMENT.
The entertainment at Mrs. Scott's
on Friday night for the benefit of the
free Kindergarten was successful in
every way. Mrs. Curtis reading was
without a flaw and there We're pas
sages of pathos which dimmed the
eyes of many in the audience. The
musical accompaniment by Miss Pot
ter was the effort of an artist. If
there was fault to be found with the
entertainment it was in its brevity.

DON'T LIKE TREES.
Manager John A. Scott objects to the
ladies of Hilo organizing an Improve
ment Club that would see that the
town and the suburbs are beautified
through the planting of ornamental
trees along the streets and roads. Mr.
Scott bases his objections on the fact
that the rain dripping from the trees
is injurious to the roads and as it is
difficult to get money for road repairs.
the public had better forego the COM
fort and beauty derived from tree
lined streets and roads. While it is
admitted that there is considerable
more rain here than in California and
some of the southern states and that
the drippings from the trees may not
materially improve the condition of
the streets the character of the soil
is such that tree planting would be no
more disastrous to the roads around
Hilo than the effect of the water drip
ping from the numerous plantation
fumes. Nor would the damage epSu-
ing from tree planting be so great That
1t would not be entirely counterbalanc-
ed by the Improvement which the trees
would make. The organization of a
Board of Trade may be followed by
an influx of tourists and it is up to
Hilo to have the town so beautiful
that the tourist will carry away with
him pleasant recollections of his visit.
Beautiful tree-lined streets will go far
toward reaching the desired end in
this respect. Anyone who has ever
visited the cities of the South remem-
bers the foliage there particularly in
savannah where one street has four
rows of grand magnolia trees. Charles
ton Is made attractive by the trees on
the sidewalks and yet the damage to
the roads is not apparent. 1t is only
the rich who ride in chaises and 1t
might be a good thing If those same
rich would show some consideration
for the men who walk home to lunch
In the hot sun at high noon: trees
along the sidewalks would furnish
shade that would be appreciated by
men, and women, who walk.-Herald.
