IupER-ISbAND HAPPENINGS

HILO, Aug. 1O.-The opening of the
Crater Hotel, under the management
of Peter Lee, formerly manager If
the Volcano House which took place
last Saturday night, was the occasion
of very large visitation from this
section. Practically every possible ac-
cOmmodation under roof in the vicin-
ity of Kilauea was taken up for the
night, and great many remained TIL
Sunday afternoon before returning to
FIilo. Most of those who went from
this city took automobiles straight
through, though a large pumber went
to Glenwood by train, taking the Vol
cano Stables machines from that
point.
The new hotel was tastefully decor
ated with huge sprays of the tree
ferns which surround the prem SEES
and in many places set off to the great
est of advantage by Gala lilies. The
dining-room was filled with long
tables, which were laden, with good
things for the guests of the evening,
and three sittings were necessary be-
fore the hunger of all those present
could be satisfied. Salads, entrees and
appetizlng roasts. with ice cream and
other deserts, made all present enjoy
their first meal at the new hostelry.
Dinner was not completed till well
after nine o'clock, and Immediately
the big dining-room was cleared to
make room for the musicians and the
dancers. The Hilo quintet was in its
best shape, and over a hundred cou-
pies danced till midnight, when the
gathering dispersed, some to return
to Hilo, others to the comfortable
rooms provided by the Crater Hotel
which was, however, unable to accom-
modate the big crowd, and left an
overflow which filled the Volcano
House to its limit
The lobby of the Crater Hotel Is
vey fine one, with the great open fire
place, which is so comfortable on col
nights, and the big easy chairs in
which the visitors can sit while enjoy
! ing the blaze on a cool evening. The
rooms are all of good size and well
lighted throughout by an acetylene
gas plant Of the latest model, which
! was just completed on the afternoon
of the opening. Tanks will furnish
water for domestic use, and the new
place appears to be extremely com
Portable in every way.

GOT PLAGUE FROM A SQUIRREL

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3O.-A dis
patch from DR.. w. F. Snow, secretary
of the State Board of Health, at Sac
ramento, says he has received re-
port of a case of bubonic plague at
Contra Costa. The victim was Horace
Flood, aged Z years, who died on July
26. He is supposed to have become
infected from bites and scratches of
a ground squirrel
Fighting Squirrels.
Following this news, 1876 men have
been put to work by the federal
authorities in San Francisco and the
surrounding bay countries waging war
against ground squirrels and rats
which carry the plague germ.
The Contra Costa case is the first
reported to the state health authori-
ties this year, and it already has re-
suited in statewide enforcement of
the law enacted by the California leg
islature in 1909 making it INSIDE
meanor for any one to harbor ground
squirrels.

The squirrels are being poisoned
and trapped by the federal employees,
who are making every effort to pre-
vent the communication of the re-

LIFE INSURANCE I'M CIVIL WAR.

LIFE INSURANCE IN CIVIL WAR.
The breaking out of the Civil War
by stopping all business relations be-
tween North and South, threw the
affairs of life insurance companies
into confusion and taxed to the utmost
the skill and tact of the managers. On
April 10, 1861, President Lincoln call
ed upon the Nation for $4,000 men to
serve in the ranks of the Union Army.
Immediately the companies had to con-
slider what should be their attitude to-
ward war risks, which their policies
did not cover. On April oath the New
York Life announced that it would is
sue war permits at per cent extra
for service north of "a degrees and at
10 per cent extra south of that lati-
tude. While refusing war permits to
Confederate soldiers, the company
agreed to pay the cash value of such
policies, in case of death and to rein
state after the war, on payment of
arrears, the policies OF those who were
living and in good health. The war
lasted so long that most of the latter
class found it cheaper to take the cash
value of their old policies and insure
anew. In all, 731 war permits were
issued, covering S1,151, $50 insurance,
and 70 war claims were paid, amount

Lost While Fishing.

HILO, Aug S.-A very sad case of
occurred last Friday fore
noon near the Kaumana road when
John de Mello, nine-year-old Porth-
guese lad, lost his life while fishing.
The boy was fishing for oopus in a
pond some distance above the junction
OF the Piihonua and the Kaumana
roads. He was accompanied by his
brother and John Bor-
ges, boy of about his own age.
1t seems that John slipped from the
place where he was fishing, which was
little distance above the water, ana
fell headlong AS he fell he caught
his small brother by the foot and
dragged him into the water with him.
The older boy fell into the water mead
first and disappeared. The younger
child fell feet first and managed to
catch hold of some brush growing at
the edge of the pond, and by means of
clinging to this he saved his lie.
Borges ran for help as soon as he saw
his companion fall into the pond, but
it was about ten minutes before as
sistance could arrive in the form of a
Japanese, who soon recovered the
body of the poor boy.
Labor Union Political.
Hawaii Herald: Editor Alfonso is
c,rtoipl,y ,.igbt In what ba soyc that
the Hilo labor union is a political ma
chine, pure and simple, and this was
acknowledged by one of the leaders
when talking of the o Luso paragraph
last Monday. Still it is rather a joke
Oh Alfonso, for he is one of the char
ter members of the Hilo labor union,
which he, too, Joined purely from pO-
htical motives. Alfonso, incidentally,
is a pretty good politician, and Hilo
can thank him more than any other
one man for many of the benefits re-
ceived from the recent legislature,
especially the 100000 road appropria-
ton and the 100000 for the Hilo
wharf.
Must Save Up.
HILO, Aug. 10.-The people of this
county might just as well make up
their minds TO be prepared for big
jump in taxes within the next two
years, for it now seems bound to come.

comes from this source is by no
means enough to handle the general

SUN WATER HEATER
IN MANoA VALLEY

IN MANoA VALLEY
Mr.. Craw, local agent for the Balti-
more Sun Water Heater, has received
the following self.explanatory letter;
Honolulu, T. H., July q, 1911.
Mr.. Warren B. Craw, Agent Baltimore
Sun Heaters, Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Sir:-Having recently Install
ed one of your Baltimore Sun Heaters
in my new Manoa home and having
had an opportunity during the last
few days of erratic weather condi-
tions, to gauge it's usefulness, take
this opportunity to add to your al
ready lengthy list of testimonials, my
small mite in support of what might
be termed very useful gift of Ma
ture"
On more than one occasion during
last week l have found the water
heated to such a degree that even as
late as nine-thirty o'clock in the even
ing it would be necessary to add the
usual cold water to cool it off in
spite of the fact that one or more
baths had oeen drawn previous
thereto.
l can only say that the Heater is
all that you have claimed it to be, and
has not only fulfilled your agreement
in every way, but has proven a far
greater surprise, considering its loca-
ton, i. e., in College Hills, where the
condition of wind and weather would
naturally cause one to hesitate on it's
installation.
Very truly yours,
JAMES w. DOUGHERTY.

HE ST. BERNARD HosPIcE.

THE ST. BERNARD HOSPICE.
There was probably hospice upon
the Great st. Bernard more than
thousand years ago. But the Sara
Gems came up from the south of
France and made havoc in these parts
and the hospice had to be refunded
by st. Bernard of Mention in the
eleventh century. According to Mr..
Coolidge, it has been served by the
Austin Canons of Martigny, whose
chief has just died after twenty-five
years of command, perhaps ever since
1854, certainly since 1915. How many
travellers have the good canons and
their dogs befriended during all these
centuries? Formerly the canons had
good deal of prof erty in England.
The chapel of Romford wa" theirs in
1177 and Henry II gave them the hos
pital of Hornchurch or Havering in Es
sex. From them William of Wyke-
ham acquired it for the benefit of his

crudescent plague germ to the rats OF
the city. During the last year the
rats have been freed of the germs and
it was thought until the occurrence of
the Flood case that the danger from
infection by the squirrels had ceased.
The federal health authorities were
not summoned to attend the Flood
boy until two days before his death,
when it was too late to save him. DR..
Rupert Blue, past assistant surgeon
OF the United States Marine Hospital
here, attended him.
Case Is clear.
There is absolutely no doubt that
the boy died of bubonic plague, said
Dr. Blue. The complete tests have
not yet been made, but enough was
determined to decide the case finally.
The federal authorities have put men
at work in the neighborhood, about a
mile north of Contra Costa, and the
state law regarding the harboring of
ground squirrels will be rigidly en-
forced. If the squirrels can be kept
from communicating the germ to the
rats in San Francisco and other large
cities, there is no danger, but it is
imperative that the squirrels be
stamped out"
