HILO, January 17.-The principal
business before the license commits
sioners, at their meeting held last
week. was to hear the applications of
| the Serrao Liquor Company and J. S.
| Canario for f1rst-class licenses, and to
| receive a report from Inspector Kau-
hane The Serrao application was
granted as of February /, while tlrat
of ]. S. Canario was withdrawn. The
inspector said that he visited and in
spected all licensed premises and
found the conduct of the liquor BUSH
ness in good condition, that the COM
munity at large was satisfied, that
the amount of drunkenness was on
the decrease, and on the whole gem
eral better state of affairs, with the
exception of the premises of Kuwa-

tricts, but more especially marked in
North Kona. Here the traffic is car

anese, swipes of many decoctions be-
ing the intoxicants handled. Since the
county had appropriated funds toward |
the assistance of procuring evidence,
some arrests had been made and con-

breakers.
The question. of allowing females on
saloon premises, for any purpose
whatever, was discussed, and it was
decided to enforce the law strictly.

BOY DROWNED.
A couple of Porto Rican lads went
fishing on Tuesday in small boat,
made haul and started to row back
about ten o'clock at night. When off
Keokea Point at 1890 the northerly
squat, that blew up so suddenly,
capsized their boat when about 400
feet from the shore. The big waves
were carrying them to land. Josto Me-
dino, aged "a, being a little way in
front of his companion, Francisco Re-
appeared and Revado just as suddenly
found himself lifted and then lying on
the shore at a spot elevated above the
beach line. The little boat was smash
ed into kindling wood, the fish were
washed back to their native element,
and nothing could be seen of Medino.
After searching for some time in the
drenching rain, Revado started back
for Hilo, arriving in town after a two
hours cold and dreary tramp.

Death from suicide was the verdict

ton with dose of corrosive sublimate
was reported by wireless to the Ad-
vertiser.
Downer went to work as usual at

TIE STATUE OF A REAL MAN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

A notable statue was presented a
few days ago to the University Of
Nevada by Clarence 81. Mackay.
1t was the statue Of his father, the
founder of the Mackay fortunes.
The statue is the conception of fine
idea. The likeness of the first Mackay
is shown as he appeared In the days
when he laid the foundation of his
early fortunes as a miner.
There it stands-a young man of
sturdy bearing. He wears q flannel
shirt, open at the neck. Corduroy
trousers are stuffed into cowhide boots.
On the head Is a SLOUGH hat. A miner s
pick Is clinched in one hand.
A statue of the multimillionaire as
he appeared in later life would have
shown different fgure-a frock coat,
snken hose and high hat.
But the other is the real Mackay.
He was a man before he was a MIL
lionaire.
The statue does credit both to father
and son. The pride of the son in the
father who won success with shovel
anu SlulC1uS CIdulS Is COLHLHeuOdDlt
and worthy Of such a sire.
And as the rugged figure stands in
its place 1t is an ever abiding index to
the dignity of labor
The mudsills of our republic were
laid by men who labored with their
hands. The paths of the new world
were blazed through primeval forests
by men of toll Bronzed miners with
pick and pan forced the wealth that
we enjoy from siuice and f1tnty rock.
We must continue to honor these
men.
! We must have a care lest the time
may come when, In our prosperous
pride, we shall come TO look with con
descension upon the man who earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow
and the labor of his hands.
We must impress upon our youth the
lesson that the man upon whose gar
ments there is the stain of soil, caught
In the effort Of his daily toll, wears &
uniform as patriotic as the uniform Of
the gayly harnessed soldier; that the
scars on the hands OF the laborer are
as honorable as the scars received II
battle
All hail the Mackay statue!
In our new American art let US be
gin to fashion the statues Of our grea
men not as these men were finally
made, but as in the making.
Because it will keep US from forget
ting whence we sprung.
