The Herald Is Old Business Today and
Presents Model Newspaper.

The Herald is the real thing today,
and has to thank the wide-awake bust
ness men of the town for allowing it
to make SO good showing. To look
at this issue of the Herald, if you
were stranger, you would at once
conclude that this is business town.
Well, that's the truth. The merchants
are the kind that go after business,
and they are getting it, too. Read
everything in this paper, and tell us
if you do not think such paper is
pretty good ad. for the best little
old big town on the map. We think
so.

Members Of Board Of Trade Executive Committee
Show Faith in the Organization.

The executive committee of the
Board of Trade held an enthusiastic
meeting last night; in fact, the best
meeting held for several months, and
it was evident that the personal letter
from President Cement reached the
mark intended. After the disposal of
regular business a general discussion
was engaged in as to methods for Sc
curing larger membership for the
Board and how to get more funds for
better work. 1t was finally decided
to appoint hustling committee to go
out today and to interview all bust
ness people on the Importance of
maintaining the Board and enlist them
as members and helpers. And to
demonstrate their faith in the organ
ization and the work it is undertaking
for the town, practically every men,

night increased his monthly subscrip-

would come across and do the same
Conditions generally were discussed,
and an effort is going to be made to
get new people and new industries

the worth of this organization to the
town, and the men who are pushing it
are in dead earnest in their efforts to
get results.

six days at Honolulu.
Battered by Pacific gales, washed
by seas that swept the decks and
shook the great masses of steel like

ed as fresh and clean as though tbev
had just completed cruise around
the harbor. instead of gruellinr

wastes of the Pacific.
Never has such record beon
made by modern navy. Without
once stopping, without once adding

which they left Honolulu, the battle.
ships have ploughed through waters
which never before held such an
aggregation of sea power, to be re.

The landing was made at the newly
