million for the Honolulu water works,
of half that amount for a new Homo
lulu court house, of a million or so for
more wharves in the same city, but
Mr.. Campbell has as yet failed to come
out for anything for this island, which
goes much further than few thou

the Mahukona landing and about the

of the Legislature, the island of Hawaii
does not wish a single appropriation
which will reach as high as the lowest
of those which are insisted on for
Oahu, but it does believe that 1t
should have its fair share, and that
Maui and Kauai should also be given
what ex-President Roosevelt has called
a square deal"
