PLAIN FACTS TO
PEOPLE OF HILO

Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell has written the
Hilo Board of Trade, with reference to
the statements that he has planned
certain streets for Hilo without first
submitting the plans to the Board of
Trade of that city. As no such plans
are in existence, the superintendent
thinks the protest of the Hilo people
is premature. Mr.. Campbell's letter
follows:
Honolulu, October "a, 1911.
Gentlemen-Noticin through the
public press that the Elilo Board of
Trade have held certain meetings to
protest against the purported action of
Superintendent Campbell in planning
street for Hilo without submitting the
plans to the Board Of Trade, 1 have
to call to your notice that the action
of your honorable board is premature,
inasmuCh as no plans have as yet
been made
No formal application has been filed
with the superintendent of public
works by the Hilo Railroad Company

PENSARIES FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Within a short ;Ime all the main
schools of the city will have small
dispensaries connected with them
that is if the plans of Spencer Bowen,
of the Palama Settlement, go through
all right 1t is planned to have a
small room set aside at each of the
schools, and 10 have there supply
of first aid" appliances and drugs,
that will be very useful in case Of
minor accidents or some incipient dis
ease, that may be discovered among
the children.
The scheme is to have a Settlement
nurse attend the schools for at least
one hour daily. While there, she will
see to any sore eyes, rash or other
infantile sickness. Needles, sticking
plaster and a few surgical instru-
ments, to perform minor operations
with, will also be stocked
There are many of the Settlement
dispensary rooms scattered over the
city, and some of them are at the
schools already. 1t is planned to have
them established at all the schools
before long. The Board of Health is
expected to help out and the 6duca-
tion department will only be too glad
to do what can be done to further
the excellent plans of the Palama Set
tlement.

for right-of-way, only preliminary mat
ter, without correspondence.
The road question in the Waiakea
section in Hilo must of necessity be
based upon the following factors
First: The Territorial Board of
Harbor Commissioners cannot con-
struct the proposed wharf in the Hilo
harbor until an agreement has been
entered into between the Territorial
Board of Harbor Commissioners and
the Hilo Railroad Company.
Second: On the perfection of this
agreement, and to make it effective,
the Hilo Railroad Company must be
granted rights-of-way for their tracks
from their present terminus to the
Hilo wharf.
Third: Before grants of rights-of-
way, or licenses, are made, consider
alton must be given to the matter Of
streets and roads.
Fourth: The railroad rights-of-way
cannot be considered exclusive of the

1t is stated that no such report has
been rendered by Wilson for four
months past. The report for Septem-

ago, was merely a schedule of eX-

Wilson, it will be remembered. was
appointed contrary to the wishes of
the road committee, to protests from
which the majority, led by Murray, re-
piled that if he didn't make good he
would be dismissed. Low, it is un-

having failed to give satisfaction, his
dismissal should forthwith be accom-

cept, even on the comprehen- sive tour he has outlined for him self.
 It is we'll enough for the ex-Presl- dent to say that his tour is mere ly to say 'Howdy" and Thank you'' to a people that has done him extraordinary honor. This in itself is fitting. For no President was evermore uniformly honored by all classes and sections of the country, and no other ever estab- lished such intimate, reciprocal relations with the massses every where. The perpetuating of these relations, even on personal 9rounds, would be wholesome and desirable.
 But the county expects some thing more than the amenities from Colonel Roosevelt, and if will continue to get something more. So long as he is in posses sion of his powers he will do what he can for the public welfare. He is a preacher of progressive doc trines, and no preacher ever had a more definite ''call'' than he. Roosevelt may have no new mes sage for the country, but he will rtinue to bear the message that he has uttered many times .tbe message that has actuated his whole public life.

.HOWDY" AND THANK YOU"

Colonel Roosevelt does not need an official commission to go be- fore the people. The progressive movement is still unorganized,
 unofficial, though mighty. Col oncl Roosevelt is the originator of that movement. and he is still it's leader. As truly as he repre- sented the whole people in the Presidency just so truly does he represent the whole people in this movement. The people look to him for assertive leadership.
 That is why he has more invita- tions to speak than he can ac-

FL PASO, March Is. Stories of intense suffering througout the northern part of Mexico con- tinued today A courier who walk ed from a point north of Chihua- hua City reported that famine faced the 25,00O inhabit- ants of that place.
 Hundreds of women, fearing that the siege of the city, which has already continued eight days, will soon cause starvation. have secured permission from the au- thorities to leave and bands of women, accompanied by their children, are now roaming the country.
 The last word from Chihuahua City was seven days ago when the wire resumed working as far as Parral.
 The operator at Chihuahua then said: No food stuffs have reached here in the last two weeks. It looks like famine for all of us. The insurrectos have encircled the city, and the troops who who were attempting to forage were driven back by bands or guerillas. i"
