the serious attention ef these several

in the legislature should not find diff.

We WANT 1HE 1ouRlsr.

Denials OF the stories that the vol
cano trip is being knocked In Homo
lulu have appeared IN the Honolulu
press and the people Of Hilo sincerely
hope that that Is the case. Still,
there is no smoke without fire, and
there is niger in the woodpils some
where or other. The outdoor com
mittee of the Promotion Committee
is planning all sorts OF, outings and
attractions for the tourist-on Oahu
but there is little or nothing. said
about the one big feature of the Ha-
waiian trip, viz. the volcano OF XII
auea. The Advertiser stated edito-
rally last week that the volcano
knockers were located in Hilo, and
that more Honolulu people visited the
crater than did residents Of the Cres-
cent City Such statement is abb
surd, and the people Of Hilo, Rona
and Hamakua well know it. Since
the advent of the automobile some
years ago it may be stated as fact
that every man, woman and child, ex.
cept, maybe, the plantation laborers,
has paid not only one but several WIS.,
its to the wonderful crater of Kilauea.
The Advertiser goes on to say that
search of the Volcano house register
will show its statement to be true.
Well, 1t need only be said that, since
the Atkinson road was constructed
some years ago, thousands of people
have visited the crater without ever
going near either of the hotels that
grace the mountain side. Every Sat
urday and Sunday and also on many
moonlight week nights, dozens. Of, au-
tomobAes make the trip to the crater
and people who ride in the cars never
stop at the hotels at all. Honolulu
people should all see the greatest nat
ural wonder of the group of islands
they live in, and we all hope that they
may some day. But what Hilo wants
most is the tourist who comes to Hat
wall, induced to do so by either the
literature they read or word of mouth
descriptions. to visit Hilo and the
volcano before they return to the
mainland Hawaii Herald.

Any suggestion that the much need.
ed bridge across the Wailuku river
at Pitman street should be construct
ed by day labor should meet with the
opposition that any such fool scheme
would surely meet in an up-todate

to replace the present unsafe one
which is closed to traffic, but the job
should be q contract AFFAIR, open to
bids from contractors all over the ter
ritory and elsewhere. The concrete
bridge, about I25 feet in length, would
probably cost around $4,000 to build

would, without doubt. cost twice that
amount. There has been enough OF

price for every step gained in this
section.
The unqualified optimism with
which, judging from the ,trend OF com.

the approaching gigantic struggle is
regarded in Great Britain, France and
Russia Gun be attributed largely 10
the remarkable recuperative power
shown by the troops OF Emperor
Nicholas. These soldiers in spite Of

not only to bring Teutonic progress
