HILO MAY become
BIG COALING
STATION

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HlLO. Aug. 20.-That a new compe-
titor in the coal business OF the ter
ritory will soon enter the field in
these islands and that the headqnar.
tiers will be established In Hilo. Is the
news that has filtered through from
the Orient.
Ii is stated on good authority that
a firm of Far Eastern merchants is
seriously thinking OF starting up in the
coal business In this city, and that I'M
limited capital is available for such a
proposition. The recent addition to
the Hilo breakwater and the probah-
ility of an early completion OF that
work is one of the chief reasons given
for the interest in things Hawaiian
now shown in the Orient.
Should certain negotiations be COM
pleted satisfactorily, there is but lit
tie doubt that Japanese capital. or
rather money which is now invested
in the Far East, viii be turned to
good account in Hilo. The promoters
of the scheme are satisfied that as
soon as the breakwater is extended
some distance steamship trade will
spring up at this port--that is If coal
ing stations are located here.
Communications have passed to and
fro and at last there would appear
to be something definite to go upon.
1t is expected that within a short
time from now representative of the
Oriental company will visit Hilo and
look into the whole proposition.

DISTANT GREEN PASTURES,

That distance lends enchantment to
the view, that the best chances and
the brightest sky is just over the di-
v-de, that prosperity is n.thiA easier
reach at point remote are lures to
the average man is illustrated in a
story told in this office by Nelson F.
Johnson, publicity manager of the AL.
G. Barnes circus. A year or so ago
Mr.. Johnson was at Benton Harbor,
Michigan. Benton Harbor is situated
on Lake Michigan, about as beautiful
spot as can be found out of dors,
surrounded by the most famous peach
orchards and grape vineyards in the
land. Aye, and the apples raised there
are not to be snecZed at. The country
is in high state of cultivation and
rroductiveness and furthermore the
best markets in The country are with.
in easy reach. When Mr.. Johnson
stepped into a printing office at Ben
Cph lafbor he found a rea estate
agent from Wenatchee ta,Eing to the
editor md that suava and ingratiatinE
agent sold the Michigan edito" a tract
of undeveloped fruit land on, oc near
Lake (hclan, in the state of Washing
ton, tcceiving $40r per acre or the
same. That editoH could have gone
hdt int the country at his very doors
and Pu' chased beaj Ug orchards or
Vineyards at the sam price. Ot
curse we must adnnrG MS Judgment.
1t cannot be questioned, :cr the COM
bihation of fertile land and climate in
" ash...'on has Michigan faded to i
fareyouwell. And yet it is difficult
to exactly understand the wistfulness
for the far away that must have in
fuenced that MichigGnder to place
his investment so many hundred miles
from home

has been one of the leading real estate
dealers of Spokane for years He
owns a large tract of land just across
the Similkameen river from the town,
and this was the first time he ever

was an unexpected pleasure to meet

Al. G. Barnes circus. A pleasing, gen.
ial, entertaining gentleman is Mr..
Johnson and his stay here was all too
brief. AS the advance agent for the
big show he has travelled over every
state in the Union, and his exper-
fences have been interesting and at
times exciting. Last year the company
was making the towns along the Mex
lean border, and he saw some of the
ion he crossed over to a Mexican
town in an auto for the purpose of
billing the place. The town had been
under fire, as one faction of the revo-
lutionary forces were holding it while
another faction was trying to break
in AS the car came to stop on the
main street, and the occupants got
out to put up bills, shell exploded
overhead, piece as large as man s
hand cutting through the cushions of
the rear seat, through the bottom of
the car and lodging in the dust PAN
Mr.. Johnson says that he did not lin
ger. The bills were dumped out AMI
he beat the record run on the back
track to Douglas. 1t was satisfac-
tory pleasure to meet an advance
agent of the character of Mr.. Johnson
who is a happy contrast to the bluff,
