TOURIST REVENUE.

is well worthy of thoughtful con.
sideration by every citizen of the
islands.
As the leaves begin to fall back |
in the Pine Tree state the Port

constrained to make these remarks,
which are worthy of the attention
of the tourist seekers of Hawaii,
Without doubt the tourist sea-
son Just closing was the most sue
cessful in the history of summer
travel in the state of Maine. The
climatic conditions were as near
perfect as it would be possible had
they been made to order, and ac-
cording to estimates now being
made, the state is something over
$20,000,000 to the good as a result
thereof. And from no other source
of revenue in the state is the
money so generally distributed as
in the case of the travelling
tourist, almost every branch of
industry having derived a substan-
tial benefit from this enormous
sum of money which has found its
way into the Golfers of our city
merchants, the country s.ore-keep-
ers, hotels and boarding houses
alike. while this influx has created
an increased demand for the man
. ufacturer, the farmer and the la
borer, so that it would be well nigh
: impossible to name a branch OF
trade that has not been directly or
indirectly benefited by our ever in-
creasing summer tourist business.

t ton we should all deem it a per-
sonal duty to stand ready at all

DEATH OF HENRY d. MEYERS

Henry D. Meyer died at the
Malulani Hospital on the 25th of
November of relapse Of Pneu-
monia and plurisy after an illness
of over three months.
He was born on Hawaii June
2Oth 1880 and moved with his
parents to Maui when quite young.
At an early age he entered the
employ of the Kahului Railroad
Co. and worked steadily for this
company for nine years four mon
tbs and twelve days when he be-
came i'll with Pneumonia that con-
fined him to his room for over three
months.
Desiring to return to this post
he ventured out too soon and tax
ing a relapse lived but snort
time.
He was an ambitious young man
and lost no opportunity to avail
himself of every means of advan-
cling himself in his profession.
While working in the machine
shop he studied at nights and
graduated from the Amherst CORES
pondence school of Chicago.
AS he was a steady young man
of ability with the one ambition to
make thorough machinest of him
self there was every reason to be
lieve that he would climb to the
top of his chosen work. That ht
practically died at his post is showr
by the fact that during the las
days OF his illness while in deli
rious state he constantly talked o
his work and gave orders abou
the work he thought he was doing
The remains were taken charg,
of by the societies to which he be
longed and were buried on Sun
day morning. The funeral wa
very largely attended.

MISDEMBANOR PRISONERS MAY

Wong Lung of Honolulu was

punished by hard labor in public,

Under the act of 1908, $4,000 was set apart to aid

ago, probably less than a score of rural public
schools had attempted to begin a collection of
books; before another year, fully a thousand will
have Libraries. And in every case they have
uuickened the interest and widened the horizon
of the pupil, and increased the efficiency of the
school. Many a child whom the dull drill of the
textbooks would never have reached his been
aroused and inspired by contact with some poet,
traveller, historian, or scientist, who speaks
through these library volumes.
The Movement for Good Roads.
Next to the tax levied by illiteracy, the heaviest
tax paid by North Carolina heretofore has been
it's mud ax,-diminished value for every product
of farm, or forest, or quarry because of the bad
roads fixed between it and it's market; diminished
power for every brain and for every skilled hand
because of the barriers between them and the
great world of action. Now, however, we are
literally beginning to mend our ways. And two
facts,-frst, that well-built roads are costly; sec
ond, that they serve more than one generation
make it plain that the issue of bonds is the most
practicable plan of progress. The last Legislature
| accordingly arranged for road-bond elections IN
| fifteen counties, the issues ranging from $4,000
to 100000. We discovered long ago that the
nearer land is to market and church and school
the greater is it's value and the more profitable
is it's product. A no less notable truth we have
since learned,-that in practice nearness is a
matter of hours and minutes rather than of miles
and furlongs: the farmer is near any place which
he can reach cheaply and quickly, while he is far
from any place to which transportation is slow
and costly. If, therefore, he improves his roads
so that he can travel to town with twice as much
speed as formerly and transport his products at
half the former cost, he gets for land and bust
ness all the increase in value that he would get
by cutting the distance in half. To all intents
and purposes, he moves near town and takes his
farm with him. Meaning neither abandoned coun-
try homes nor overcrowded city slums, this new
and wiser rural emigration" is profitable to both
town and country.

1T is not that woman's shoe 1aces

Of high shoes the trouble is altogether
in their height. The shoe laces farther

more snugly and therefore encounters
a greater strain on the knot when a

There has just been discovered in

which however, are partly lost in the

Looking G For Trouble.

John Bitner Of Shields, formerly
living near Hoisington, met with
something Tuesday evening that he
was not looking for. He had just re-
turned to town and went into his
store, and began ordering people out.
He seemed to be somewhat under the
influence of liquor: and one young
man living there did not seem to
move quite as fast as John wanted
him to, " hereupon John began to be
a trifle more forcible in his Efforts to
clean out the place. A second attempt
to make the young man move on after
he was outside caused him to take up
a ball bat and hit Bitner with it. Not
having the desired effect either way,
and John making another move to-
wards the young man. the latter
struck him a hard lick across the
head with the bat, aud at last ac-
counts John was still unconscious.
with chances nightly against him.
