HILO. September 10.-AmonS Ordi-
nances passed by the Hawaii Board of
Supervisors are the following:
Ordinance No. 9, relates to the pay
ment of warrants, upon written order
filed with the County Auditor authoriz-
ing the person named therein to re-
ceipt for the amount. Such orders may
cover all warrants issued or to be is
sued to the person assigning the same
during the year in which the order
is dated but not later, and may be
renewed from year to year. The in
tent of the ordinance is to permit en-
ployes of the government living at a
distance to get their warrants with
out having to appear personally at the
Treasurer's office and, in many in
stances, at an expense greater than the
value of the warrant.
The building ordinance, No. 10, was
drawn up by the Shippers Wharf Com
mittee and provides a penalty for fail
ure to comply with the Board of Health
regulations regarding the sanitary
construction of buildings within the
radius of one mile from the Court
House, Hilo.
COFFEE SHOP TALK.
1.-THE more think of it, said the
Meddler, 1.-The more I regret the failure
of the promoters of the Kohala-Hilo
railway to complete the proposition.
Just think of the convenience to people
in KohaIa who would like to come over
and enjoy the excitement of Hilo life
for a few hours, any longer would kill
them, for the sudden change from sub
urban to city gaieties would be dan
gerous.'
mot only that" said the Cheerful
Liar, but the railroad would furnish
means of transportation of fruit from
out in Hamakua. Ben Macy was tell
ing me the other day that he knows
of a man in Hamakua who has an acre
of bananas which he is feeding to the
hogs. And he tells me that some of the
homesteaders over there feed peaches
as big as coffee cups to the porkers
and that they fatten beautifully

SAFE BIND SAFE FIND.
The store of Moses & Raymond in
the Baldwin Block was burglarized on
Friday night last, the thief unexpected
ly running into a safe which Mr.. Moses
had purchased and set up in his place
of business on that day. Heretofore
not having realized the need of safe,
Mr.. Moses had been in the habit Of
keeping over night in his desk con-
siderable cash. On Friday he purchased
a new safe which was installed during
the day and in which he deposited
his funds. The burglar, who was a
barefooted gentleman. effected an en-
trance through the front door by
means of a duplicate key. His foot
prints were traced from the front door
to the safe, where, not expecting such
a thing, he retraced his steps without
disturbing any of the merchandise, or
the newly acquired strong box.
