| real, and recommends the establish
ment OF a pavilion, where out door
| treatment may be given, and which
will be used for the great white pla-
J sue alone. In this disease there were
2O6 deaths for the year ending June 80,
1905 as against 543 for the previous
twelve months.
During the year scarlet fever made

case is the only one recorded in the en-
tire Territory There were thirteen
cases of diphtheria with five deaths
and nine cases of bubonic plague, of
which seven were in Hilo, the other
two being i'll this city. Enteric fever
showed a very high death rate, one
hundred and ten cases out of two hun
dred and fifty proving fatal.
