smoke was so dense and SO pungent
that the firemen could not work in it
only a few minutes at a time, and
many OF those who braved it lay on
the floor ~senseless, unnoticed for sew
eral minutes at a time, and one man
lay unnoticed an hour before being
dragged out into the open. The burst
Ing Of a gas main and the consequent
filing of the burning structure with
thousands of cubic feet of gas added
to the danger.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for
. lnauguratine the Service

When democrats assert that their
party Y. the father. Of rural free de-
livery. they willfully misstate the facts.
1t is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehood. for it is deliberate
lie, uttered with the intention to de-
ceive many persons Rural free deliv-
cry had it's origin under the Harrison
administration, and Postmaster Gen.
eral Wanamaker was its father" He
proposed and established the first ex-
perimental route. When the democrats
came into power. under President
Cleveland, they did everything possible
to kill rural free delivery: in fact, they
absolutely refused to expend any Of the
$4,000 congressional appropriation for
its nourishment, and both Postmasters
General Bissell and Wilson, in their an
nual reports, did their utmost to dis
credit 1t. President Cleveland also
threw cold water on it in q hostile mes
sage to congress- When Mckinley be-
came president, rural free delivery was
pushed to the front as a republican
policy. This policy has been continued
under President Roosevelt. until now
there are about 1880 routes in opera
ton. No farmer need be deceived by
democracy's false claims, for the record
shows that. to republicans alone belongs
the credit Of inaugurating and foster
ing mail service that is OF incalcul-
able benefit to rural communities.

HOLLOWAY WORKING
TO MAKE
SEWER SYSTEM PAY

Superintendent of Public Works C..
s. Holloway Is engaged In preparing
for submission to the Legislature. in
special session bill to provide for the
establishment of the sewer and gar.
bage systems on a self-supporting
basis.
I'VE will try to arrange It SO that
the portion Of the public which derives
the greatest benefit from the garbage
service and the system of sewers will
have the greatest amount to pay for
that benefit" said the Superintendent.
ut Is not fair that Hilo, for example,
should help pay for such benefits en-.
joyed in Honolulu; let Hilo pay only
for what she receives"
Some time ago, in mapping out plans
Of economy. Governor Carter. recon
mended putting the service above men
toned on a basis where 1t would pay
for itself. II was the Governors idea
to make reasonable and uniform
charges for sewer and garbage facil-
tiles. He did not think 1t fair that the
whole Territory should pay for the
installation OF sewer system, for in
stance, in Honolulu, to be enjoyed
only by Honoluuans.
Holloway Is now working on a plan
that will be fair and serviceable.
