Inter-IsIand Brevities

HILO, February THE Board Of
Trade has received from Delegate
Kalanianaole an answer to its inquiry,
made some time ago, as to what steps
it was desirable to take in order to
get assurance that the federal build"
ing for this city be built on plans
suitable to the local conditions. The
delegate writes in part as follows:
Il would state that l am now en-
deavoring to secure congressional au-
thority to get a special architect need.
ed to design the Hilo public building.
In view of that l suggest that the
Board send to the Secretary of the
Treasury a set of resolutions embody-
ing the desire of the local COMMUNE
ty that a building be designed more
in keeping with our tropical condi-
tions than was done in the design
submitted for the Honolulu federal
building.
IF your Board will send forward
such resolutions, I will do all in my
power to expedite the Hilo building
plans"

METzeER is SATISFIED.

HILO, Feb. Sd. E. Metzger, who
completed his contract on the local
breakwater some few weeks ago, and
whose property was attached by the
Hilo Railroad Company shortly after,
on the allegation that he owed them
in the neighborhood of $4,000, re-
turned from Honolulu yesterday, af-
ter having made a settlement of the
matter, following which the suits were
withdrawn by the railroad. Mr3Metz.
ger said in relation to the affair:
"The matter was arranged on Il
compromise which was most salts
factory to me. have no complaint to
make as the railroad company, when
they fully understood the ms and outs
of the matter, was ready to agree 10
compromise which was mutually
satisfactory. do not care to go in
to details, but can say that I am sat
isied and have no kick at the terms
which were made"

MAUI STORMY ALSO.

WAILUKU, Feb. 11.-This winter is
proving a most severe one, and many
old residents aver that it is the most
severe in many years. The past week
has seen much damage done on all
the islands. Over in the Hama dis
trict, the rain has been coming down
in torrents, and the streams are swOl-
len to rushing rivers. Up in the vi
cinity of Halnakuapoko and Haiku,
the rain has been heavier than US
ual, but last Sunday night it became
a deluge. The roads were practically
impossible Monday Up at the Maliko
gulch the ROAD bed was completely
washed away on the Pauwela side, at
one place being washed out to
depth of ten feet On the Paia side
of the gulch, at the junction of the
Hamakuapoko road the side of the hill
had been loosened by the heavy rains
and great boulders and tons of earth
were precipitated into the road and
down into the gulch below. A gang
Of men were at work clearing the road
Monday before it was possible to get
through The new concrete bridges
just completed by Contractor Duggan
stood up under the strain without the
least damage.

Hawaii Herald: The idea which has
been advanced in Honolulu that Ha-
wall should combine with the Philip.
pines in preparing an exhibit for the
Panama Canal Exposition, is probably
a suggestion which has been made
without due consideration. One of the
great troubles which Hawaii has al
ways contended with is the fact that
the people of the mainland invariably
class Hawaii with the Philippines,
which is by no means what we desire
Should this Territory voluntarily class
itself with the possessions of the Unit
ed States in the Orient, it would be
foolish in the extreme. Regardless OF
the way in which we feel about our
progress, civilization and up-to-date
methods, the general view of the Ha-
waiian Islands, or the Sandwich ISL
ands, as they are still often called,
is that the Hawaiians are heathens,
wear few clothes, are simply reform
ed cannibals who would revert to
former customs Immediately if not
prevented by the influence of the
churches and the American govern
ment. The asking of funds for mis-
sionary work In Hawaii has great
deal to do with this, as the genera

George A. Davis announced at the
Saturday meeting of the Bar Associa-
ton to endorse a candidate for fed

attending meetings for endorsing peo-

in his discussion of the proposed en-
dorsements and remarked incidentally
that he was himself the best qualified
man for federal judge.
A. A. Wilder said that he would
like to make a personal statement.

JAPANESE FELL TO DEATH.

HILO, Feb. "a Japanese was
drowned last Friday at the Ookala
plantation by an accident, which will
probably never be explained. The In
ter-Tsland steamer Helene had just
come in and a Portuguese had gone
down to catch the heaving line which
is thrown ashore to make the YES
sci fast to the wire landing. AS he
was coming up he met a Japanese,
and asked him where he was going,
the only response being 81 go look
see." What this meant was doubt
full, as he might have been going to
see if the fastening was all right, or
perhaps simply to watch the water,
which was extremely rough.
When the Japanese did not return
for some little time the Portuguese
and another Japanese went down to
look for him and could find nothing
but his hat, some tobacco and match
es, which were floating on the water.
Evidently he had made a misstep, and
fallen possibly hitting his head on Il
rock as he fell. The body was not re-
covered.

OUR PROFESSOR HOSMER TELLS
NEW ENG[ANOERS ABOUT THE OLD
CONDITIONS IN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

to get rid OF their pastor, When the
trouble came out they explained that
they owed him so much back salary
that their consciences were bothered
every time he entered the pulpit, but
they never considered the obligation
to pay him. They also had the idea
that legislation could accomplish any
thing, so they voted at one time "to
abolish the impression that leprosy is
contagious"
Hawaii is much better off under Am
erican protection. 1t is not true that
the white man is driving the Hawai-
ian off the earth" They would be lost
now if it were not for the restraining
influence of American missionaries, al
though the natives, like small boys,
resent restraint. Mr.. Hosmer told of
how the natives ride about in the shall
low water on the back of man-eating
shark, driving a knife into the sharks
back, so as to have something to hold
on to. The natives also eat dogs, and
a canine is not safe from death even
when in leash, as it is likely to be cut
and the dog run off with. They say
dog meat tastes good even to an Amer
lean, if he does not know at the time
just what he is eating.
This country, as compared with
England, is not fitted to govern out
lying possessions, as we are too long
in meeting a crisis. BY the time Con-
gress acts, the one crisis is over and
the other one has started. Trouble is
still on in the Philippines, although we
hear little about it lately, and Mr..
Hosmer, like many others, says he
would be glad if we could get rid of
them. There is much that Congress
should yet do for Hawaii, and the Ha-
waiians feel that Congress has not
been fair to them.
Most all of the teaching force at

city of Honolulu has all modern con-
veniences, water systems, sewers, cleo
tricity, ETC. Rubber trees grow on the
island. The climate is very delight
full, and visitors who go for a short
visit are not anxious to come away
quickly. The warm climate, however,
is not conductive to the best of health
and residents acquire that laziness al
ways found in hot climates.
Following Mr.. Hosmer's talk, there
was an informal discussion on the sub
ject. Refreshments consisting of sand
wiches and lunch were served. The
talk was thoroughly enjoyed. Mr..
Hosmer was a representative in Mas
sachusetts legislature in 1901 and 1909.
He was formerly editor of the Berk-
shire Currier. In Amherst he is a lead
er in organizations that make for civic
betterment, and is doing much good
work in that direction. He is trus-
tee of Amherst college.

The following is from the East
Hampton, Massachusetts, News of jan
uary 10, 1911:
The Pascommuck club on Tuesday
evening held a 'ladies night" at
which a talk was given by Frank A.
Hosmer of Amherst. He told about
the Hawaiian Islands, where he
spent ten years, 1890 to 1900, as Presi-
dent of Oahu college at Honolulu. He
was also a member of the advisory
council under the republic Of Hawaii.
The islands are now a possession Of
the United States, and they have one
delegate in Congress, but he has no
vote, although he appears quite fire.
uuently at committee hearings.
The climate there is very beautiful
and the temperature ranges between
Sc and Sc. The islands are about as
large as Connecticut and Rhode Island
combined and 900 square miles to
spare. 1t is in the cross roads of the
Pacific and 21OO miles from San Fran
CISCO Honolulu, the principal city, is
a cosmopolitan place with various
kinds of inhabitants, including the ma
tives, Americans, Japs, Chinese, and
negroes.
All of them are affecting American
ways. The American flag is much in
evidence and the Fourth Of July is
as well observed there as here. The
public schools are very good and the
percentage of illiteracy there is less
than in this STATE. Tyranny and SUI
perstition held them down until the
American Missionaries, Thurston and
Bingham, who preached and taught,
and bettered the natives in many
ways.
The Hawaiians are not actually lazy,
but are shiftless. They will work
strenuously until they get about S.,
Then they will set out to find some
one else who has accumulated SIS, and
another feast is enjoyed, and so on
until all the money is exhausted, after
which they cheerfully resume work.
They like office and like church, but
know one another's failings, so they
never elect one of their number as
treasurer, but give that honor to a
white man.
A comical commentary on them as
jurors was told. 1t requires, out there
at least,9 out of IL to convict. On one
case the jury was unanimous for con-
viction, but they failed to return to
the court room for long time. When
an investigation was made it was
found that they were having a hard
time to get three of their number to
vote the other way, so to make it 8
to 8, as they had the idea it ought to
be. The natives are good writer's, and
adopts at initiating other peoples
writing, but they are poor on figures.
