OAKLAND OR SAN PEDRo7

That San Pedro will be the terminal

A FAIR EXCHANGE,

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods

they bring. Certain famous bust

millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
JOY the confidence Of the public

THE DEMAND
FOR BUTTER
The Stock on Hand viii
Last Only a Few
Gays.

There is certainly going to be a
fresh butter famine. The stock on
hand will last only few days. at
most. 1t has been suggested that a
large order should be placed in Sc
attic to be forwarded on the Nevadan,
and. of course, this has been done. and
it is also suggested that this is a good
time to try Canadian butter. No doubt
an order will be placed in Victoria, in
accordance with this suggestion.
Nevertheless, * is by no means GER
tain that there viii be a large surplus
anywhere on the Coast within the next
week or two. There must have been
vast quantity of this very necessary
staple destroyed in the San Francisco
fire-and the San Francisco demand

to a Honolulu order It is because of
this that not much of supply is ex-
pected to reach this port on the Ala
media.
This would seem to be good time
to experiment with Australian timed
butter The Metropolitan Meat Com
pany received large supply of this
article on the steamer Ventura, from
the Colonies, and this will be supplied
to the company's customers when the
present limited supply OF Crystal

EVERYBODY

HowHonoIuIu Answered
the Call for
Relief.

MANY men have taken up pubic SUD
scriptions for many purposes, ana Ho-
noiuln business people have always
been quick to respond to the call OF
distress, but certainly no committee
that has carried around a subscription
paper ever had an easier time than did
those gentlemen who went about on the
appointment of the Governor s commit
tee with the paper calling for contribn-
tinns for the disaster sufferers In San
Francisco.
"Here,'' said the manager of the
first sugar factor 8 firm, handing the
committeeman check for one thou
sand dollars, even while tire purpose OF
the call was being explained. And
bear this in mind: If yoa need five
thousand, you will find it here waiting
for you. Our employees are likewise
making up purse, consisting OF one
DAYS pay of each of themselves. That
is of their own motion.
The same spirit was shown at the
next sugar factors house, and the
next. There was no demur, anywhere
As soon as the committee soliciting
subscriptions appeared, the managers
began writing checks. The banks re-
sponded as literally, in proportion, and
the business houses, and private indi-
viduals. Nobody demurred, and the
spirit was that of regret that more
could not be given.

PROF, ELK|N WANTS THE

Says That the Hawaiians Ought TO
Try and Produce Some First
Glass Men OF Affairs.

w. B. Elkin, whose newspaper con-
troversy with the late Editor w. n.
Armstrong is well-remembered here, IS
now professor of philosophy in the
Missouri State University. The Hllo
Herald prints letter of his to Rev. >.
L. Desha in which he urges better edu-
cation for the Hawaiians. Prof. Elkin
says at the outset: q suppose by tins
time you have got county government,
or local government of some sort. But
in order to make the most of the OPP
portunities thus arising the Hawaiians
need better education. You know that
this is the Educational Age, par excel
lence. Every people needs intelligence

have some good LAWYERS. doctors and

cent copy of the Baltimore Sun to give
you an idea of what the F'ilipinos are
doing at the present time. The Ha-
waiians, l suppose, need never expect
to obtain independence again, as the
tilipinos hope to do. There are too few
of them now left, and too many AmeTt-
cans, English, Japs and Portuguese on
the Islands. But they should aim to
have a large voice in the affairs of gov
and exercise a force in indus
trial life, agriculture, fishing, trade and
the professions. How is this to be
done? By means of more education, by
sending number of the best Hawaiian
students every year to the mainland to
get knowledge of American history,
law, government and education; in a
word, knowledge of American civiii
cation.
