POStOffiCe Service Has
Not Grown With The CITY

In 1905 there were eleven mail car
riers and two collectors employed by
the Honolulu postoffice Today-six
years later-there are the same nun-
Der of carriers and collectors.
According to the school census for
the island of Oahu for 1905 there
were 5,176 pupils in the public
schools. Last year there were 7,7O9
or an increase of almost exactly fifty
per cent. These figures give some
idea of the increase in population dur
ing the time in which the postoffice
facilities have stood still, although
probably not sufficiently large, for a
very large proportion of increase in
the last few years have been adults
who have moved here, and which the
school census does not represent.

WHAT SHALL Be DONE WITH
CREW Of The SAILOR BOY?

What will become of the schooner
Sailor Boy, which has just made port
in a leaking condition, is not yet
known. No one will say. The cap
tain, Erratt, says she can make San
Francisco in her present condition #
she has a gasoline pump installed to
keep the water running clear through
her. Shipping Commissioner Almy
says she is unseaworthy, and has told
the captain so, while the men who
want to be paid off, and allege that
they are broke and hungry say she
is rotten and is falling to pieces.
The men are clamoring for money
and the captain has none to give, he
says, except his own, and he has
sworn that he will never part with
any of that, as he is too heavily in
volved as it is. Commissioner Almy
has threatened the captain that if the
money is not produced, the ship will
be brought up and laid on the mantle

Progress has been made in con-

That at least half of the million and
half dollars of loan fund money
locked away in the vaults of the
Treasury three days ago will have
been contracted for by January next,
is the opinion expressed around the

handling of the big pile. In fact, it
is more than likely that a considera-

CLEARLY SHOWN.

A story is told Of simple and
devout Methodist minister who was
not sufficiently eloquent or business
like to be approved by the presiding
elder.
Through the influence Of the eld-
er he felt sure he was appointed to a
small and widely scattered settle
ment, where there was much hard
work and the results were necessa-
rily meager.
One day he was commenting sadly
on the narrowness of his oppcrtuni-
ties to a friend, who said gravely
that he ought to pray for light that
he might see the hand of the Lord
in his appointment.
"I have, brother" he answered.
"again and again. But so far" he
added, with a whimsical smile, "I've

Robert Wickliffe Woolley, the writ
er, found it necessary not long ago
to take trip west. On the dining
car of the train he saw that he had
in his pocket ten cents in change,
his smallest banknote being one for
$50. He handed this to the porter,
who went to the end of the car for
a conference with the conductor.
"I'm very sorry about this" said the
conductor, standing in front of
Woolley and toying with the big bill,
'but we haven't the change for $50.
