HILO BOARD Of
TRADE OPPOSES
Gut in SALARIES

4 Y ! Z III
Especial STAR Bulletin CORRESPONDENCE
HIL0 June REesident Senate
and Speaker House; sNashington. d
Board OF trade 81 fIiIo earnestly
demonstrate proposed reduction sal
aries governor and secretary Present
salaries inadequate. Should be In
creased Reduction means only rich
men can afford to hold these offices
tSigned) Metzger, president; Deyo
secretary.
On it's own Initiative the board oil
directors of the board of trade of this
city has sent forward ito Congress the
protest quoted above, against the pro
POSED reduction of the salaries OF
Governor Pinkham and Territorial
Secretary w. w. Thayer.
News was received In the islands on
May Is that the appropriation bill had
been reported back to the senate with
the salary of the governor cut from
$1,000 to $4,000 and that of the terri
torial secretary from $4,000 to $500.
BY act of Congress In 1910 the Cover,
nor,s salary had been raised from
$4,000 to $1,000 and the secrotary's from
$4,000 to $4,000. s.gs t.
Explaining the action Of the board
of trades directors, Secretary e. n
Deyo said: ~.
I'VE are not making the protest be
cause the incumbents happen to be
L. E. Pinkham and Wade Warren
Thayer We are protesting against
kh a. rrino;,,la ord the rooulforfZ ooyf1i.
ton. We know that it really is i'm.
possible for the men in these two of.
fees to get along on smaller salaries,
no matter who the officials are. The
extra amounts allowed them are in
adequate for Incidental and travelling
expenses. We know that George r.
Carter was able to continue In office
only because he was a man of means
and had private resources from which
he could draw, and that he was com
PEELED to draw heavily upon his per.
sonal means for actual expenses. We
know also that Territorial Secretary
E. A. Mott-Smith. though, he could
not be classed as q spender, never.
theless drew continually upon his pFi
vate income that instead of making
a living for him the office cost him
many thousands of dollars. 4.
Neither of these positions pays the
money they cost the aincumbents at
the present time. TO those who un.
derstand conditions it Is: source OF
wonder how Governor Pinkham, a
poor man, is able to make both ends
meet Certain it is that If it were
not for his habits of closest economy
he would be running into debt.
No one who knows the infinite mum
Der of monetary drains upon man
in that position will dispute these
statements
Unless the salaries are increased
the candidate who is poor financially
always will hesitate TO take the job

LICENSES TO ALL APPLICANTS

Ewalfko said that while he is a Demo
crat, he believes members OF the
county board should be chosen more
with a view to their business ability
than to their politics; he had served
In former county commissions with
Ross and knew the latter to be com
petent and reliable.
In submitting his report and bal
ance sheet to the board of county sup
ervisors this week Special Auditor
Sam Spencer mildly but firmly re-
Dukes H. Gooding Field for the lat
ter,s failure to prepare similar bal
anee, as had been requested by the
investigating commission. At the same
time Spencer intfmates in no uncer-
tain language that Field could have
reconciled the treasurer's and audi
tors books ii he had given the time
and effort required. In fact, Spencer
specifically states that he has prepar-
ed. such balance sheet, thus proving
the feat possible. ~
With his report the special auditor
submitted the following statement to
the board
In accordance with resolution
adopted by your. honorable board OF
supervisors, / am submitting bal.
ance sheet with all the necessary
data, relative 70 the financial condE.
ton of the county Of Hawaii, as of
April 80, 1914, BY which the treas

reconciled. You will find a list of

the period from January LIST, 1911, to

wish to inform you that a copy
of the report Of the. Hawaii county
investigation commission which was
compiled by II. Gooding Field, was
handed to the auditor and treasurer
OF tina county for the purpose Of re.
conciling the two offices, but as 1t
did not contain balance sheet, 1t is
useless for that purpose. =.
A purported list of outstanding
warrants was checked; but find that
many were already paid by the treas
urer, and that 1t did not include some
that were still outstanding as Of

FEDERAL BULL DING
FOR Hill WILL BE
CONSTRUCTED SOON
ESPECIAL STAR bulletin Cablel

HILO, June IS That active work OF
construction On HilOss new federal
building will begin on or about June
20 is the gist of information received
this week by Charles H. wills, the
local contractor. who has been In COR
lrespondence the last few months with
the Campbell Construction Company
of Salt Lake City, the successful bid
ders for the job The shipment Of
materials and building equipment is
expected TO begin arriving here almost
any day.
Letters from members of her fam
fly, written at Mazatlan May 20, say
the water supply was severed by
the reYolutionists who are trying to
capture that city, at the time the
communicates were indited. The
city's sewers are below the sea level
and pumps are required to force the
sewage out to sea. Water, the let
tiers state, is selling at 25 cents a
bucket, meat at a dollar a pound,
eggs at so cents a piece and all other
.necessaries of life at similar prices.
Letters are dispatched via the for
eign ships in the harbor, probably
the American battleships which are
lying there closely observing events.
Mr. Wills, e. Al. SouthRorth and one
or two others have been in correspon
dence with the Campbell Construction
Company fairly consistently ever
since the government advertised for
bids on the Hilo postoffice building.
This originally was with the principal
idea of encouraging the Salt Lake
people to get their figures within the
amount of the appropriation, so they
would have a good chance to get the
contract. Whether Mr.. Wills OF other
local men have succeeded In getting
sub-contracts from the builders Is not
known.
The new federal building will be
erected at a cost to the government
of something more than $185 DOC. and
the contractors have two years IN
which to complete the job. The con
tract requires it shall be done by
April /, 1916.

Christmas All Year.

"A Spift III SSiS1 ooitS
peryades the Yuletide atmos-
phere. 1t is known and prac-
iiced at no other season OF the
year at Christmas. 1t is felt
in every city, i'll every town,
i'll every village, i'll the entire
country.
People are prone TO be more
thoughtful. Men manifest de-
sires to spread good cheer;
women weave little acts of
love, kindness and devotion
into Christmas good will;
children cherish their COM
panions and fortunes. Persons
unconsciously instill into each
other a desire to distribute
happiness everywhere. 1t all
comes OH the wings of that
indehnable thing understood
by few, but referred to by
many as the Christmas spirit.
1t is invisible, but can be
seen; it is not material, but
can be felt. 1t comes every
Christmas, but too often leaves
to return perhaps next year,
when the real holiday spirit
again is felt.
Why does this fellowship of
love and good will depart from
the souls of SO many persons
on the wings of time? Why
does not the same spirit remain
in the atmosphere after men
again assume their routine of
work and women become
normal after their Christmas
cares and worries?
Would it not be a good
thing if this same Christmas
spirit could continue through
out the twelve months of the
year? Would it not be an
excellent thing for mankind
if all stopped to think of
others as they do during the
Yuietide season, if all EN-
deavored to fill the lives of
their friends, acquaintance
and the less fortunate with
good cheer and happiness
throughout winter and sum-
mer, spring and autumn?
Try this for next year.
Make it one Of your resolu-
tons, and if one resolves to
do all i'll his power to make
others happy throughout the
entire twelve months no other
resolutions will be necessary
to assure one of happiness.
After all is said and done the
only real happiness is derived
from making others happy.

Some Southwest
ern Reflections

December, Southwest Louisiana
farmers have had Imposed upon
them the value of silos out Of which
to get suCculent feed for milk COWS
and work stock. Winter pastures
are indispensable, but they are
available only when the weather is
fair and the ground is firm and
dry.
When bad weather comes the
silo and good comfortable barns
are indispensable where profitable
results are desired. Neither milk
COWS nor work stock can produce
prohtably when they are deprived
of succulent feed and denied COM
Portable shelter when the weather
is damp and the thermometer dal-
lies around the freezing point.
In Wisconsin, where they make
more money out of their dairy
products than we realized from all
our agricultural products conbin-
ed, the barn is frequently the most
imposing building OH the farm.
Not only are dry floors warm beds
and the richest and most nutritious
food provided for all the farm
animals, but clear running water
and steam heat are piped through
out the barns. The COWS and farm
stock, being kept comfortable and
properly nourished, repay in guam
tity and richness of milk, in sound
health and i'll excellence of work
many times over for the expense
incurred and the care given them.
And the difference between the
way we manage things in South
west Louisiana and the way they
do them i'll Wisconsin, explains
why so many of our hard-earned
dollars are going to Wisconsin for
dairy products and our annual
| harvest of tin cans is so extraordi-
nary.
And that suggests that the Pharr
Brothers, of Southwest Louisiana,
who are active members of the
Southwest Louisiana Development
Bureau, secured overall bidders,
the contract for supplying the great
Charity Hospital in New Orleans
with milk for the next twelve
months. Twelve months ago no
farmer in Southwest Louisiana
could have handled a contract of
such magnitude if it had been given
to him OH his own terms.
This shows that although we
have been a long time starting, we
are, nevertheless, making crafty
ing progress along lines that are
going to mean more to It's within a
few years than all that sugar cane,
or cotton, or rice, planted on the
principle of the single-crop system.
could ever mean to us in a thous-
aud years.
Hence, while we are at the
beginning of great industry let
us make sure that we start out
right. Only pure-bred registered
sires should be tolerated. Our
native cows will do for breeding
purposes, but the sires should be
only the best. The State ought to
levy a prohlbltlve license tax on
bulls that are not registered, and
thereby exterminate them.
Then pasture crops for winter
and summer. should occupy a large
acreage on every farm, while every
farmer who has as many as twelve
twelve head of live stock should
have a silo--- and no farmer should
have fewer cattle than that.
These things, with good barns,
plenty of running water and the
proper safeguards against Charlton,
will soon convert Southwest Louis
lana into the finest dairying and
beef producing section of the
United States.

CORROSIVE ACID BURNS.

Water at Once.
A burn from sulphuric acid-vitriol,
as it is often called-is one of the most
painful and distiguring wounds that
can be received. Sulphuric acid is the
most powerful OF caustic liquids.
When it touches the tissues of the
body it DISCREPANCIES them rapidly. ex-
hausting the water in them, coagulat-
ing their albumen and changing the
nature OF their salts. thus bringing
about a destruction that is sometimes
fatal. When the burnt place heals it
does so with a hideous scar. resembling
that of leprosy or lupus.
On being splashed with vitrioI there
is only one thing TO do-rush for the
nearest water and plunge the burnt
member into it If the face be splash
ed ii should be instantly immersed in
a r0wl or pail of water. or In lake or
river if these be handy. The object is
to dilute the acid as quickly as pos
sible and so check its rapid corrosion
of the flesh. for if let alone it will eat
in 10 Il great depth.
Having washed away the acid. cover
the wound at once with some alkali.
