KOHALA'S POSITION
IN LOCAL POLITICS

Expressions that have repeatedly
county act and county seat, both In
Kohala and Hamakua and in the Homo
lulu prints for years past, all tend to
show a prevalent impression that Hilo
Is more or less affected with the symp-
toms of a malady popuarly called the
big head" Fears have been expressed
that If chosen as a county seat, these
symptoms would develop into ma
lignant form of selfshness that would
be detrimental as well as offensive to
the other districts, somewhat after the
ideas of the Anglican church clergy
man who heartily endorsed the propo-
siton to combine the two churches in
small community in the interests of
harmony, Christian unity and economy,
provided that this We're accomplished
on the same basis that unity was effect
ed between the lion and the lamb. This
idea of course never commends itself
to the lamb. People are willing to unite
and work on a basis of equality, but not
on the basis of absorption or extinguish-
ment.
1t Is quite possible tina Hilo's symp-
toms have been enormously diagnosed
with natural consequences detrimental
to her own interests and that IL brought
to a realizing sense of the fact that she
has those symptoms-or thought to
have them-she will at least submit her
self to an incubation or fumigating
process as "A measure of assurance both
to herself and to her sensitive neigh
bors. In the meantime readiness to
confide in the assurances of a reliable

WYMAN AND
THE LEPERS
Hawaiian Matters At
The National
Capital.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. 1.-Dr.
Walter Wyman, Surgeon General of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service said today that he was giving
very serious consideration to the sug-
gestion of DIR. Cooper, made several
weeks ago that the Federal Government
investigate in Hawaii the cure of lep-
rocy. His language implied that some
thing of that kind was probable. al
though nothing is yet definite. He has
been going over the exhaustive report
on leprosy, which DR.. Cooper filed with
him, that report including numerous
photographs of those afflicted with the
disease in it's various stages.
1t Is learned that DR.. Coopers sug-
gestion is the first from Hawaii on the
subject of leprosy, which the Public
Health and Marine Hospital authorities
could look upon with much approval.
Some two years ago, 1t will be remem-
bered, the late Delegate Wilcox propos-
ed bill to put the settlement at Mo-
lokai under Federal control. The gov
eminent, according to that plan, was to
bear the expense of maintenance and
thither all lepers from the States would
be carried. The bill, although 1t had
almost no prospects of passing, was
followed by tremendous protest from
Hawaii, supported by the California
and other delegations in Congress. The
idea was never favorably considered by
the Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service. At that very time, however,
Surgeon General Wyman had been con-
templating some Investigations regard
ing leprosy. but in view of the intiamed
state of public opinion on the subject,
he abstained, lest the activity should
be misinterpreted.
However, propositions for the scien-
tific investigation of the cause of lep-
rosy under the auspices of the govern
ment, have not been entertained at all
by DR.. Wyman. AS he said today, men
all over the world are studying that
and the bacillus has already been dis
covered. 1t has seemed to him there
was little reason for the government to
embark upon Investigations of such
character. At first he supposed that
was what DR.. Cooper contemplated, but
after talking with DIR. Cooper and look
ing into his comprehensive report, DR..
Wyman understands that the aim is to

Senator C. II. Dickey of Maui writes
as follows to the Maui News under date
of Chicago. July 10:
Here 1 am in the busting, raaing,
booming city of Chicago. The only
calm thing I have seen about 1t is the
Republican Convention which your w.
r. Robinson attended as delegate and
l as an alternate. 1t was so perfectly
arranged beforehand. that 1t was hard
to stir up any enthusiasm. There was
no opposition at all as you know. The
only excitement of the Convention was
over the question as to whether the
Hawaiian delegation should be reduced
from six to two or not; so the Repub-
lican party should give us vote of
thanks.

BIG OFFICIALS ARE HERE.
Heads of Three Leading Industrial
 Corporations in Town.

The heads of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, the SiossShe field Steel and Iron company, and the Republic Iron and Steel company are in Birmingham today and 1t is probable that the report of the commission of experts appointed sometime ago to in- spect the properties of the three com panies with a view to consolidation will submit their report formally this after noon.
 President A. W. Thompson of the Re- public company arrived in Birmingham yesterday afternoon from Chicago and President Don H. Bacon of the Tennes- see company returned from New York last night. While nothing definite has been given out, 1t Is generally believed that the conference in Birmingham today was arranged as soon as the commission of experts announced that they were ready to report.
 President J. c. Maben stated yesterday afternoon that he had not seen a copy of the report of the experts.

THE BURNED BUILDINGS.
Walls That Endaneer the Lives Of
 Pedestrians to Be Pulled Down.

The owners of the brick buildings on the south side of First avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, which were destroyed several weeks ago by fire, will be required to tear down such walls that now endanger the lives of pedestri- ans. A few days after the fire the avenue was opened up, and since that time many complains have been made at the city hall by those who do not think it safe for the walls to remain standing.
 Acting upon instructions from the city council in a resolution adopted at the regular meeting Wednesday night, City Engineer Julian Kendrick will notify the owners of the property to immediately abate the nuisance. If the walls are not torn down within ten days time by the owners the city Is to take the work in hand and report the cost of the same to the city council.
 It is understood that plans have about been completed for rebuilding the burned structures. and that the contracts are to be let shortly and the work pushed for ward rapidly to completion.

PIG IRON MARKET
 CONTINUES QUIET
SMALL SALES HERE AT $e.5o ON NO. 2 FOUNDRY BASIS-TRADES IN NORTHERN IRONS VERY
 LIMITED.

Birmingham iron makers report a very quiet market While some manufacturers quote the pig metal as low as 1925 the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company reports that it has made small sales at ss5o and offer none at a lower rate. It sold 5OO tons of No. for export this week.
 Rogers Bryan & Co.'S Cincinnati report of yesterdays date says:
 'aThe most interesting feature of the pig iron market this week is an inquiry for 12 GOO tons from one of the largest Ohio consumers. Negotiations have been pending for several days and the strength or weakness of the market is being de- veloped The claim has been made that the s9,O0 mark has been reached on recent sale of 2000 tons southern No. 2 foundry for early delivery 1925 is the current price.
 Enquiries for delivery during the re- mainder of the year have shown that producers are disinclined to take on or ders so far ahead at current prices.
 Trades in mortimer iron have been of very limited extent without much change In quotations. The situation is becom- ing decidedly serious on account of the continuance of the strike on the lakes Blast furnaces in the north have been buying up available lots of ores suitable for foundry mixtures and docks at various places in order to keep their stocks in operation. It has devel- oped, however, that there is compara- lively little ore on the docks that can be purchased and unless the strike is ter minated shortly a number of the fur naces will be obliged to blow out As the period of navigation is only about six months, every thirty days of sus- pension cuts decided figure and 1t would not be surprising If there were q short age of ore brought down this season. which will naturally have its effect on the pig iron market during the latter part of the year."
