Injuries the School.

Hilo Tribune: One phase of the
High School affair is-no matter
which side the individual may select
as right, or wrong-thoroughly repre-
hensible, and that is that the pupils
have been allowed, even encouraged,
to take an independent part in the
matter. 1t is only charitable to as
sumo that they are not so precocious
as to be able to set themselves up as
arbiters in matters such as are quoted
as justification for their action, and,
furthermore, where the kids are en-
couraged to take the law into their
own hands and treat with contempt
the legally constituted authorities, an
example is set for lawlessness and
disrespect for proper procedure which
can only tend toward bad citizenship.

A Warning.


Hawaii Herald: Some day Hilo is
going to be swept by fire that will
wipe whole blocks out in less time
than it will take the newspapermen
to afterward write the story The
risk that is being run in this city Is
appalling, when one comes to con-
slider the matter AS far as protec-
ton goes, there is practically none,
and willing hands and all as bunch
of volunteer firemen can be, what can
they do when they are not even prop
erly provided with appliances with
which they might combat a big fire?
There are no hatchets provided for
the fire ladies, and two old ordinary
wood chopping axes are all in the
way of implements that can be at
present seen at the fire station.
There are a few buckets to be sure,
and it was pathetic, and funny at the
same time, to see some of the vol
unteers running down Waianuenue
street the other night after the alarm
of fire had been given
The firemen have a heartbreaking
Job ahead of them every time an
alarm is given, and the spectacle OF
few men dragging the reel to the
scene of operations is far from cheer
full. The "buttinskies" who are al
ways to be found at a fire, also cause
much trouble. The firemen are ham
pered by the outsiders and, in many
instances at fires in this town, the
casual sightseers have grabbed the
hose from the firemen and defied the
efforts of the chief to work out the
problem as he best knows how.
| Hilo should have a proper fire de-
partment and the citizens of the town
should not rest till station that Is
as good as, say, the Makiki or Pal
anna branches of the Honolulu depart
ment, is established.
Because there has been no really
big fire for many, many years is nc
reason why any day or night the city
will not go up in smoke. Take the
burnt auto of last week. If the Vol
cano stables had caught, and at ono
time it looked as If the building mus
go, what would have happened to the
block from Front to Bridge streets
The Hilo fire brigade, with it's buck
cts and two wood choppers could moi
have accomplished much, no matter
how willing the men might be.

street RAILWAY Assured.

Hawaii Herald: Hilo is to be con-
graduated on the fact that, before
long, a start will be made on an
electric street car system that will
be the biggest boon that the town has
ever received. And when the break
water and railroad are remembered
that means a lot. A street railroad
will enlarge the city in just the same
way as did the Honolulu Rapid
Transit system. How many people
would there be residing at Kaimulii
or Manoa valley, if it we're not for the
excellent system of cars that can
land people at their very doors a few
minutes after boarding the vehicles
at the center of the city of Honolulu?
The same improvement is bound to
come to Hilo, and once the tracks
of the company reach out few miles
the people who are at present cooped
up IN the town, or within few
blocks of the center, will build bung
allows out in the suburbs, and gradu-
ally the whole place will grow up
And, even from the start, the line
from Waiakea to say, the postofiice
should pay from the first car run or
the tracks. The present big lot Of
people who pstronize hacks and
stages, will prefer to travel the same
distance in quarter of the time for
half the usual price, If they don't
then the Hilo people must be built on
different lines to ordinary mortals.

GREAT KILAUEA PARK SCHEME

the land proposed to be taken from
the park w. H. Shipman informs me
that the portion taken from Kapapala
is so dry that it can only be used
for pasture about four months in the
year.
''As to the action to be taken,
suggest that a simple resolution be
passed recommending Congress to en-
act Kuhio's bill This will be an in
dorsement of the boundaries con-
tanned in the survey of Thomas Cook

the Trail and Mountain Club Of the
Island Of Hawaii. These are also the

bers and species of native birds than
anywhere else on the islands; also
that if the trees and shrubbery on the
north and northwest side of the
crater are destroyed, the birds will
also be destroyed. In addition to this
number of the varieties of trees in
this region either do not grow any
where else or else they grow only in
places in the islands which are mac
cesslble except at this particular
point
IF Kuhios bill cannot be Endorsed
in whole, then suggest that the res
olution be limited to recommending a
park reservation without fixing the
boundaries. If such a resolution can
not be passed. think It would be bet
ter not to have any resolution passed
at all than to have one which excludes
the territory back OF the Volcano
House and to the northwest of the
crater.
No Public Camp Grounds Here.
"A further reason for including this
land in the proposed park Is that it is
we'll fitted for camping and picnic
ground-a place where people without
much means can go and camp out in
tents and have cheap vacation in a
healthful place close to the public
road and easily accessible. Such a
condition does not exist in like degree
anywhere else in the Territory.
Neither is there any reservation of
any land of this kind anywhere in
the Territory which the people are
free to use. There is today, in fact,
not one foot of land on the entire
