The following is the letter which
Senator Brown of Hilo meant to write
to the Hilo Board of Trade relative to
the one county provision in the County
Act:
Honolulu, March 20. 1905.
H. Wears, Esq, Hilo Hawaii.
Dear Sir: Your letter was received
on the 18th inst, in reference to the
County Act now considered before the
Senate at the present time on its sec
ond reading and for amendments or
additions; this has been already pass
ed a third time in the House. The
main feature in the Senate is that 1T
is one county for Hawaii.
On this point of one county for Ha-
wall, 1 have given my support on ac-
count of explanations made by Sena-
tors Paris and Woods before the Sen
ate pertaining to the insufficiency of
funds of said districts; there is enough
for the pay of the officers of the coun-
ty. but not sufficient for improve
ments.
Therefore, 1 am satisfied that is the
only course that will be good for the
law at it's start; if it should pass in
the Senate and the House refuses to
agree when the bill goes back again
to that House, then the Joint Commit
tee will take action; when it will be
known there will be one county or else
perhaps two for Hawaii. You will
then see about it in the newspapers.
Very respectfully,
50 J. T. BROWN.
AS to how the letter came to be
received in Hilo as it was published,
the following signed statement ex-
plains:
I noticed in the Sunday Advertiser
yesterday an article about the letter
1 wrote for Senator Brown to the Hilo
Board of Trade. Some time last week
Senator John T. Brown came to my
house and asked me to do him favor
by answering the Hilo Board of
Trades letter by addressing the secre-
tary, H. Wears.
He dictated to me in Hawaiian. When
1 got through with my shorthand les
son Monday evening 1 went home and
sat down to write a letter to the said
party.
1 could not find the letter Senator
Brown dictated to me, so I lost no
, time in searching for it, and wrote the
best I could remember Tuesday
morning I did not meet him at the
New England Bakery, as L calculated,
and have it compared; so L went to
, my work.
About 1890 that morning I sent the
letter to Senator Brown by some one
to the Senate. And that's all I know.
In comparing the letter I wrote, how
ever, and the original Hawaiian letter
held by Brown, 1 found my letter was
quite off.
Therefore, by this, I wish to ac-
knowledge my mistake; because Sem
ator Brown did not dictate anything
to me about being coerced by Senators
Paris and Woods, and I know that L
did not once use the word ''coerce" or
coercion in the letter I wrote.

adopted. The only method which will
produce results and the one which will
shortly be put in operation IL that Of

feet apart, and centrifugal pumps will
be installed for the purpose Of drawing

cannot be q question Of doubt, judging
from the past performances Of these

The question naturally arises, Why
have the diamonds been found in the
Sac Jose? The answer to this 10 not

that the original rock, which formerly,
occupied the high plateau, has been
gradually distintegrated, the debris Of
the rock being carried BY rains into the
Sac Jose. Because of their density the

cealed under the sand. together with

them and which are the indication Of

DIGGING BLACK DIAMONDS.



The black diamond is an important
article Of commerce not because 1t Is
destined to embellish the hand of fem
mime grace. but because of the fact
that 1t has been widely applied in in
dustry. where it is almost as valuable
MS the white fellow. The home Of the
black diamond is Brazil, the classical
land Of the diamond, the richest beds
Of the mineral having been found in the
province of Bahia and on the banks
and in the bed Of the Sac Jose river.
The stone. which is perfectly Opaque.
is not beautiful, and II the magical
word diamond had never been applied
to the substance there Is no doubt that
to this day the black diamond would be
thing unknown. However. the favor
which this mineral enjoys is Of very
recent date. for twenty years ago its
properties were unknown and the
trade in the stone was practically moth
ing.
The constantly increasing perfection
Of boring instruments brought out the
value of the black diamond. the use Of
diamond point drills now having be-
come SO general that the price of the
mineral has in consequence rapidly in
creased. Today the diamond has be-
come of prime necessity in working
tempered metals, saving Of marbles,
piercing of tunnels and galleries and
in mines. At the time Of the Inaugural
ton Of the Laboratory Of Arts and
Trades. July l. 1903. circular saw pro.
vided with diamond points produced
surprising results. cutting into thin
slices the hardest materials.
On the banks Of the Sac Jose we. find
the traces OF the first exploitation Of
the mines by the natives. the Garina
peros. The black diamond. however.
having no commercial value. did not
attract these people. and they were ap-
parently ignorant Of the real character
of the mineral.
From the report of an engineer who
explored the region in 1858 we learn
that one day the diamond diggers dis
covered black stone in Sac Jose.
and sought to discover its nature by
attempting to crack it. All their ef-
forts were fruitless. the stone resist
ing the most powerful hammers. and
after time 1t was thrown back into
the river. The stone weighed about
10000 carats. and ut the present price
Of $40 carat represents loss of $780,
600.
The exploitation Of tho Brazilian dia-
mond mines by the Garimperos. 1t IL
unnecessary to say, was not scientific.

Selfishness? In those days you did
not know what selfishness was. You
did not have n wife to wait on you,

time you awoke to what a truly selfish
life meant. A little cousin visited your
fathers home. She was an only child
Instead Of letting you play with her
doll she kept 1t all to herself. When
she had box of candy she would eat
a piece and then put the rest away In
her bureau drawer. II she went for a
carriage ride she always wanted to
drive or else she would cry. II there
was a game she always wanted to be
the leader or else she would not play.
She was selfish; she was just mean and
contemptibly selfish. You could not
understand her actions until your moth.
