pyright, 1910, by Geo. Matthew Adams.

| ALABAMA MIICHELL-The Unit
ed States is going to have all she can
attend to in the next ten years. You
watch how things go.
BYRON o. CLARK-The next thing
the Board of Health ought to do is
to abolish all swamp agriculture with
it city limits. 1t is a source of con-
tamination.
JIM QUINN, ex-supervisor-I ex-
pect to see Oahus belt road finished
within a year. The new board seems
to be doing all right and the road
is two thirds finished anyhow.
SUPERVISOR McCLELLAN-The
supervisors gave the municipal auto
very thorough test before buying
it. Last Sunday they ran it into a
telegraph pole at about % miles an
hour and it wasn't hurt at all.
w. A. KINNEY-The kingdom Of
Hawaii was fairly stirred to it's
foundations over the proposition of
building the Hawaiian hotel, matter
of 100000 or 100000. Many regard
ed the project as revolutionary, the
beginning of the end.
SENATOR QUINN am in favor
of moving pictures and proper vau-
deville shows on Sunday afternoons.
Also l am in favor of passing law
prohibiting the opening of barber
shops on Sunday if that is what is,
desired by the white BARRIERS.
HIGH SHERIFF WIN. HENRY
The taro patches and other standing
water in and about Honolulu should
be abolished There is plenty of taro
land in the outlying districts. In old
days, taro used to come to Honolulu
in the form of paiai and families
made their own poi.
BRAINARD SMITH-Our rubber
people are not worried about the Mex
lean revolution. Our plantations are
so far from the scene of trouble that
l don't suppose the laborers have
heard of it. A London syndicate
which was investing 100000 where
we are held off several months ago
but has just closed its deal.
]. H. COMFY, Chairman House
Health Communicating Chinese taro
planters refuse to sell their taro at
any price. In consequence the KaLAl
poi factory is almost at a standstill
for lack of raw material. | think the
federal grand jury should investigate
the matter as conspiracy in restraint
| of trade.
R. WORTHING-Ti Juana, pro-
nounced Teah Wanna, is a border
hamlet of no consequence except to
the Customs departments of the
United States and Mexico. The
neighborhood is arid, with hot
springs. There is railway communi-
cation with San Diego, sixteen miles
distant, and wagon road runs to En-
senada, eighty miles away. Cattle
ranges lie between Tia Juana and the
capital
| l.. MATHEWS-It is as yet too
early to say how profitable rubber
growing will become in these islands,
the industry being still in it's infancy,
but accounts lately in hand from 9TH
er countries show that the average re-
turn from twenty dividend paying
companies was over sixty-six per
cent, DR.. Wilcox of the Experiment
Station says that our rubber is equal
to that grown in Ceylon and in Ma
lay states, so we should be able to
get as much they do.
MADAME ABADIE-No, we cannot
get French girls for our laundry,
though the girls we have have been
taught the French methods. Hawaii
is far from France, and it is long
way around from Tahiti. What our
French girls want is plenty of COM
panionship of people who speak their
own tongue. In these islands are but
five French families and these do not
supply the need. If we only had q
lot of our people here, a French res
taurant and bakery would quickly fol.
low. Frenchmen who come here long
for their pastry and French loaves,
such as they find in San Francisco.
c. w. ASHFORD-Speaki OF
'ologies" attempted to be taught in our
primary schools, am glad to see that
the subject is to be investigated by
