OLD HONOLULU DAYS
BY nOLUALANI.

Editor Notwithstanding the past
to enlighten the mainland in regard to
this 'alien land of ours, by scattering
broadcast over the face of the earth,
thousands of pamphlets and hand
books treating about the islands, and
it is pleasing to notice the increased
interest taken in our little group as
shown by the numerous letters and
essays, usually a combination of fact
and fiction, which appear from time to
time in different newspapers and mag
azines published on the mainland.
In Thursdays Advertiser is reprint
ed. from store Life" one of such
essays, under the heading Business
Development of Hawaii. With your
permission, / should like to make a
few comments thereon. The article
states that as early as 1915, The Astors
established a branch house on the is
lands and were soon followed by others.
1 have never come across any notice of
Astor or the American Fur Co. having
had a branch house in Honolulu. On
February II, 1911, Astor's pioneer YES
sci the Tonquin arrived off Waikiki,
and left again for the north after
weeks stay. An account of the visit
will be found in Washington Irvings
Astoria" Whilst the vessel stayed
off port, the band of Scottish ex-North-
west traders who formed the advance
guard of Astor's establishment on the
Columbia river, devoted most of their
time to luaus, to witnessing hulas, and
to showing off their figures dressed up
in tartan kilt and plaid, but they did
not seem to have then laid any plans
for founding a branch at the islands,
Aston having had any commercial UNI
dertakings on the group. 1t is possible
that he may have been represented in
Honolulu by one of the local merchants.
The Hudson Bay Co, however, as is
we'll known, maintained a branch store
in Honolulu for a good many years, it
being situated originally on Nuuanu
street, and afterwards, believe in the
coral store on Queen street, now used
by Davies & Co as packing room The
stuffed beaver over the wooden en-
trance door at Notes restaurant on
Queen street, is said to have formerly
stood at the entrance to the Hudson
Bay store, and hence, L understand. the
origin of the nssne Beaver Block
In the same article on the Business
Development of Hawaii, it is stated
that the import trade of Honolulu In
1910 amounted to but $4,000 Is not
this amount underestimated? So far

back as October Is, 1927, there were in
Honolulu harbor eight American and
two Mexican merchant ships, and
twenty American and nine British
whaleships. Three of the American
merchantmen We're loading for China,
two for coast of Mexico and Columbia
and one for Manila; the Mexican yes
sells for the coast of Mexico.
In 1885, seventy Whaleships (sixty
American, ten British) of 25,369 tons,
1867 crew, visited the islands. The
catch on board being $3.50 bbls. oil.
During the same year the value of car
goes imported into Honolulu was $476,-
$50. A great portion of this was whale
oil, and was transhipped again, but still
surely the imports of general merchan-
disc into the Hawaiian Islands in 1910,
amounted to a great deal more than
the aforesaid $4,000.
1t is mentioned that sixty years ago,
there were but five wholesale and
twenty retail stores lin Honolulu p
i. e., a total of twenty five stores. Now
in the statement of receipts and ex-
penditures for 1S43, published by DR..
Gerritt P. Judd, government treasurer,
it is given forth that $1,449.50 had been
collected during the year for licenses
issued to fifty-two stores. This Is more
than double the number of stores men
toned in the article under review
Again, speaking of the nationaHties
of storekeepers in Hawaii at the pres
ent time, they are stated to be Ameri-
cans, Germans, Austrians, Portuguese,
Porto Ricans, Chinese and Japanese

Riean storekeepers to be found? And

TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above
They are supposed to get into the water OF
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
ty-four hours. That is why if they ever
get into the water supply of a town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions however,
and they arc the persons whose health is
perfect whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into a healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two years IN that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is To put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton. BE assured that you have rich, red
blood and an active liver.
