Following is letter in the Boston
Herald from one of it's editorial staff:
HONOLULU, July 26, 19O6-The Ha-
waiian Islands form for our people the
dividing point between the far east and
the far west, a divisional place much
more obvious than the conventional $50
deg. meridian east or west from Green
wich, and emphasized by the mixed
Asiatic and American character of the
people. In earlier days this archipelago
was looked upon as the first, though
outlying, part of that great area of land
and water vaguely denominated the
South Sea- but of late years Hawaii
has been separated in popular estima-
ton from this old association and has
been considered rather as a halfway
stopping place between North America
and Asia. This has been markedly the
case since the islands have been made
a port of call by the steamers running
between San Francisco and Yokohama
and Shanghai
Probably no people in the United
States, with the possible exception of
those living in California, have had
more intimate relations with the Ha-
waiian Islands than ave the people of
Massachusetts. 1t was the missionaries
who either came, or were directed, from
Boston who were responsible for the
Characterization and the civilization of
the Hawaiian people; it was the whal-
ers from New Bedford and Nantucket
who for many years gave to the Islands
their commercial prominence and con-
tributed materially to the moral and
physical decay of the Hawaiian people,
and finally it was, to quite an extent,
Massachusetts capital, controlled by the
descendants of the missionaries and
others, that built up the more lately de-
veloped island industries of sugar and
the like. We are, or those coming from
our state are. therefore, in a marked
degree responsible for present condi-
lions in Hawaii even to the extent of
the political connection now subsisting
between the islands and the United
States. If we We're called upon to give
an account of our stewardship what
answer could we make?
NATIVES FAST DECREASING
When Capt Cook made his historic
visit to the Hawaiian Islands in 1878.
the estimated population of the group
was 40c, 600. Figures such as these have
to be taken with great caution, for the
reason that they are quite as likely to
be wrong as right, but what is certain
is that in about four generations there
has been a great decline in the number

colorings OF the water, the abundance
of extraordinary flowers and the
entire absence of earthquakes, lorna
does, poisonous vines, dangerous rep
tiles and other similar tropical con-
ditions combine to make this group
of islands attractive to either sum
mer or winter visitors. If Hawaii were
five days sail off the Atlantic coast of
the United States, there can be no
doubt that the wishes OF its people
to have a multitude of visitors come
to their shores would be speedily real
lied, but instead it is 200e miles from
the coast of California, a state which
has many of the same advantages as
health resort and vacation ground
that Hawaii possesses. The Pacific
slope is sparsely populated when COM
pared with the Atlantic. There is no
cold and bleak winter in California
to drive its people to the perpetual
summer of Hawaii; while those from
the eastern states who seek the warm
winter of California will rarely think
il necessary to add these five Or six
days travel to their trip. I can not,
therefore. see in what way Hawaii is
TO become a much frequented pleas
ure and health resort in consequence
of it's scenic and climatic attractions.
NOT AN INDUSTRIAL FAILURE.
| would not have it understood from;
what l have said that Hawaii is an in
dustrial failure. On the contrary, its
plantations are each year turning out
large quantities of sugar, and some OF
them are paying highly satisfactory
dividends; but I am assured that such
payments are the exception, rather than
the rule; that most of these sugar es-
tates are not sources of profit to those
who own them, and that so long as
existing labor conditions continue, they
are not likely to become the earners or
large net incomes. Assuming that this
is true statement of industrial con-
ditions, it does not seem possible, short
of some mechanical invention in sugar
production which will admit of great
of manual labor, to have
Hawaii and Hawaiian industries
brought to the high level of well-being
that was confidently anticipated for
them ten years ago. y. II =

COD LIVER OIL.

1t almost makes you
sick to think of it, but it
isn't nearly as bad as it
used to be. The improved
method of refining it
makes it much easier to
take, and when made into
SCOTS Emulsion almost
every one can take it.
Most children like it and
all children that are not
robust are benefited by it.
When the doctor says
+" Take cod liver OIL" he
generally means SCOTS
Emulsion; ask him if he
doesn't. They know it is
more easily digested and
better than the plain Oil.

The authorized capital of the new

of Henry Jacobson and R. W.

taken over the real estate on
which the springs are situated,
and all the attendant rights.
The hot springs have for years
been locally famous and the un-

water have merited the develop
