On bic ISLAND
John Hughes Enthusiastic Over
Future of the Rainy
City.

John Hughes of the Oahu Railroad
company has just returned from a trip
to the island of Hawaii, brimfuI of
enthusiasm over the numerous enter
prises which are under way in and
around Hilo which will all go to make
the metropolis of the big island a lead
ing commercial center in a few years.
81 went out to the quarry in Puma
from which they are taking rock for
the Hilo Breakwater, said Mr.
Hughes. elf that quarry was formed
by the hands of man especially for the
purposes to which it is now being put,
it could not have been laid out better.
There are at least 1900 tons blocked
out there.
3tThe breakwater is going ahead sat
lsfactorily, and in short time they
will double their capacity and will put
out from 800 to 400 tons of rock per
day. They will install 75ton crane
at the end of the pier which will facil-
irate the work which is progressing so
rapidly.
1.-The Hilo railroad is in splendid
shape and business is increasing won
transported to the breakwater, railroad
ties and frewood brought from the Ha-
waiian Mahogany Company's lands.
The lumber company is working along
in fine shape. Very few people have
any conception of the immensity of the
business. Colonel johnson is doing
great work with the company5's affairs.
81 saw the Puma plantation and look
ed around considerably over the Olaa
estate, and from what [ saw and heard
I can say that Puma cane is as fine
as any | have seen. Some cane there
is the equal of the average cane
around this island.
1.-THE Hilo railroad is to be extended
around on the Hamakua coast B. F.
Dillingham; is taking hold of this mat
ter and when he puts his hand to any
enterprise it is bound to go through.
Within radius of fifteen miles there
are about five sugar plantations and
the passenger traffic has been comput-
ed and tailed and estimated at least
as 100000 passengers in the year, be-
sides the carrying of great quantities
of plantation supplies, and it is very
probable that when the Hilo railroad
starts power engine will be installed
so that travel can be continuous up to
II O'Clock at night.
g I was in Hilo fourteen months ago
and [ was certainly surprised on my
present visit to find SO much enterprise
inaugurated since then, and I feel that
Hilo has a great future. When the
breakwater is finished Hilo viii have
one of the finest of harbors, and will
become a commercial center, in fact,
for the entire island and will attract
considerably more shipping. Hilo has
an immense amount of rich productive
country behind it, and with the com
pletion of the two great irrigation
bitches there it viii increase the sugar
production of the island from 10000
to $4,000 more tons annually, and most
of that sugar viii be loaded on ships
at HiIo.'

Why MIR. Roosevelt Wanted
To Be Elected President

IF Mark Hanna had lived, would
Theodore Roosevelt ever have been
elected President of the United States7
This is an idle question now, but in
the light Of Mr. Roosevelt s own proph-
eey and comment upon the situation
in 1908, the answer is by no means
certain. Lindsay Denison, who accom-
panied Mr.. Roosevelt as newspaper
reporter on his Western tour in 1903,
writes of an intensely interesting Incl.
dent which took place at Des Moines,
and which gave an index to Mr.. Roose-
Welt S ideas of his political future. The
tremendous crowd which greeted the
President at the Des Moines station had
inspired the reporter to make a re-
mark about the f1worth- whileness" in
being President of the United States.
We quote further from Mr.. Denison S
story in The Circle (Mareh1:
" Yes, it is worth while,'' he said.
But that is not the real thing, back

anybody does!) that the President of
the United States is never to be quot

be forgiven, this is the open season.
