With this island as one county, the
local steamship companies might be
willing to change their schedule, touch
ing at Kailua and running into Hilo,
if not, there is nothing to prevent the
formation of a local company to run
such a steamer service, which would do
much to develop the cultivation of ba-
nanas, pineapples and other fruits in
Kona. which would thus have an out
let. through Hilo, to the San Fran
cisco market.
Either or both of the above methods
of communication would do much to
cement together the different sections
of the island and create a bond of SYM
pathy between all the people.
Reviewing the general propositions
laid down as supported by the argu-
nents presented, the intelligent. broad
minded and progressive citizen is led
to but one conclusion:
First. That a division of this island
a the present time into TWO counties
would be unwise and expensive.
Second. That the laws OF natural
selection and gravitating force impel
the choice of Hilo as the logical CEN
ter of the body polite in that county.
There win be linked in indissoluble
odiioS the interests oI the l"o SeNtioii1j
the prosperity of the one furnishing the
helpful stimulus to the uplifting of the
other.
In closing our communication, we
beg to state the reasons therein advanc-
ed are the deductions made from the
answers received to circular letter,

sent out 10 all the districts of this is
land and are rot the expressions of our
body alone.

THEY KICK
Dawscnites Object to Er-
 folcement of Tariff L,ws

The Dawson Sun is obiecting because American tariff laws are being en- forced on the Yukon river. It says:
 Miners in town from Alaskan camps near the lower boundary are declaim- ing against the treatment they meet with when they leave Yukon to devel- op the mining resources of their native land as it is found in Alaska. Unless relief from the conditions that oppress them is granted, they declare that the lower river camps never can be made Go amount to anything.
 "The first evidence of oppression that confronts the American miner when be arrives on American soil from Yukon is found in the work of the cns- toms official who meets him at the boundary. Supplies are 80 meager in the American camps that the man going there is compelled to take what he will need with him. Goods manu- factured in the States and that have had duty paid on them on their arrival an Canada are again assessed by the Alaskan officials, and miner now in Dawson, who has just arrived from the lower river camps, states that the as- sossments are apparently not made SO much upon the actual value of the goods as upon the amount the miner can aHord to pay"

 A group of % claims on Gold Hill has been bonded to Messrs. Palmer and Dunbar.
