PLANS TO IMPROVE
LOCAL CONDITIONS
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION DIS
CUSS MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
THE TERRITORY.

There was considerable discussion at
the Merchants Association meeting yes
terday afternoon regarding the causes
for the present depression in local bust
ness circles and the best means for eff
fecting a remedy. Isaac Dillingham;
stated that he had talked with w. G. r.
win on the subject Of the plantations
purchasing supplies from local dealers
and Irwin had assured him that
he would Give orders to have the sup
plies purchased from local merchants
whenever possible. Edgar Lewis stated
that e. POLITE the stock broker of San
Francisco, had agreed to take up the
same matter with the board Of di-
rectors of Paauhau and Hutchinson
plantations in San Francisco and
thought the matter could be arranged.
A. Hooking thought that the trans
ports should coal here instead of Japan
and furthermore, those vessel should
remain longer in port.
A. Gartenburg-"We need co-opera-
ton here if only for one thing. The
Portuguese are leaving here in great
numbers by every steamer and about
a thousand have gone away in the
past two years. They are quite a vital
element to trade here, being of the
class that spends it's money in the
community"
e. A. Berndt-"The keynote of the
whole discussion, it seems to me, is the
loss of population"
Edgar Lewis During the stay of the

fleet here a great deal of money was
paid out to the men and it was quite
noticeable that much money was spent
and got into the different channels Of
trade. 1t is important to have them
stop here as often as possible"
w. w. Harris-"One of the most inn
portant points in a matter of this kind
is the Custom House revenue. The
Federal Government is not spending
enough of those receipts in this Terri
tory, commensurate with the profit it
derives"
After further discussion, a committee
consisting of j. w. Waldron, e. A. Nc
Inerny, /. S. Dillingham;, Edgar Lewis
and A. Gartenbug was appointed to Sc
cure information which the Governor
had asked for in a letter, regarding the
general condition of business in these
islands. The committee will report to
the Governor within ten days.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE
PARENTAL DUTY WHICH COMES
IN CONNECTION WITH GREAT
ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR.

1t was duty that prompted the fam
Gus Light Brigade to make that fatal
charge into the jaws of death; it was
duty that impelled the brave Lawrence
to eXclaim amid the clash of battle,
Never give up the ship"
The notion, indeed, which through
all time has prompted men and women
to do good and resist evil is duty.
1t is the primal duty of every man
and women to use every reasonable
means, even to the extent of sacrifice to
foster the intellectual growth of those
dependent upon them or who are with
in the circle of their influence.
This duty becomes a double one when
the result desired can be accomplished,
with practically no personal or finan-
cial sacrifice.
1t is admitted on all sides that the
great Louisiana Purchase Expo lion,
now attracting hundreds of thousands
of people to st. Louis is one of the
greatest educational factors of the sen-
Grafton.
It. therefore, becomes the duty of all
who read this to provide for thems elves
and for those near and dear to them an
authentic and instructive pictorial and
descriptive record and remembrance Of
the great event which is the century g
browning achievement.
Such a record and remembrance is
afforded in that superb educational SCI
