THE BUILDING OF AN IDEAL TOWN Some Things Which Will Advance a Community and Increase Prosperity. No better example of the public spirit which upbuilds a city can be cited than that of tho city of Wil liamsport, Pennsylvania. Six years ago, Williamsport was a small and almost unknown village of 3,000 inhabitants, located on tho Susquehana river, 289 miles west of New York, whilo today it is a city of 40,000, surrounded by a rich and productive county. Thrift, enterprise, proercss, form a conspicuous page in the history of achievements in tho Keystone State, and the city of Williamsport today, with its broad, well kept streets, attractive business houses and charming homes instantly im presses the visitor with tho fact that its citizens are among the most wide awake people. Brains and energy, pure moun tain air and puro water, together with enlarging opportunities for profitable business opperations,tell the story of the rise of a city which is not wanting in a single element of the highest modern civiliz ition. In 1885, tho tVilliamsport Board of Trade was incorporated, and en rolled every merchant and busines nun as a member. No business interest were to be considered too trivial and were fostered in a way which could not but mean success. As one instance, and only one of many, showing how its citizens, through its Board of Trade, added to and developed its different busi ness interests, the Stearns Dye Works may bo cited. This com pany were anxious to locate in the thriving, bustling city of Williams port, provided that tho citizens would subscribe for $140,000 worth of first mortgage bonds. The Board of Trade, to whom the proposition had been submitted, took the mat ter under consideration, and their investigation proving satisfactory, they reported favorably. Acting on tho report, a mass meeting was call ed, the proposition sot forth, and in one hour's time tho entire sum of $140,000was subscribed and the bonds taken. Tho following extract from tho Managers' Annual Report for 1902 gives an idea of how things are done in Williamsport. "The work of the past year, coup led with that of tho previous year has amply demonstrated tho fact that tho originators of tho present organization built upon no un certain foundation. It demon strates the fact that tho Executive Committee together with those members of the Board it has called upon from time to time for expert opinions has been conservative and in no instance has it allowed an intense desiro for tangible re sults of its work to interfere with or ovorcomo its business judgment. "This is a fact most appreciable by those who have, at ono time or another, been in close touch with Board of Trado work. When months have passed during which time proposition after proposition has been investigated and declined, it should not bo difficult to realize tho reluctanco of tho committee in refusing to recommend a proposi tion, thq approval of which would bring some temporary satisfaction, but which cold, sober, con'sorvativo business judgment indica'tes could not bo of pom anent value. A reluctanco which becomes tho great er with the knowledge that an in terested people are anxiiusly await ing the announcementperfected arrangements for an addition to tho city's industrial establishments. "That this Board has a com mitteo which can withstand such to nptation for temptation it is and at all times render decisions based upon its judgment rather than its desires, should be asubjost of pride on the part of tho members and tho Executive 3onnnittcc of The Williamsport Board of Trado for its untiring efforts deserves to be rewarded by a confidence and support at once constant and un wavering. "The work of the Board is be coming moro and more diversified in character, and tho popular max im that "What is everybody's busi ness is nobody's business," seems in Williamsport to read, "What is everybody's business is the business of the Board of Trade." The result of this arrangement is that matters receive attention and are cared for which would otherwise go undone, and where formerly tho busy man was frequently compelled to spend valuable time listening to the un folding of projects in which, as an individual, ho had no particular interest, he now saves that time by referring such matters to the Board of Trade offices, and hears no moro of them unless investigation pro duces favorable results. "That Williamsport's unparallell ed prosperity is due largely to the fact that it is The Ideal City for Home or Business, cannot bo gain said, but be it remembered that two years ago the advantages William sport possessed were practically as they exist to-day. A state of de pression existed. It was folt that something must be done, but every body looked to some one else to do it. Tho stranger who visited the city went away with tho same feel ing of depression, and the average citizen made no effort to dispel that depression nor to conceal his dismay at what he seemed to consider the darkness of Williamsport's future. "Then came a rift in tho clouds. Strong men of Williamsport, pat riotic, loyal citizens, reorganized tho Board of Trado. A change of feeling soon became manifest. Every citizen, possessed with oven tho slightest lovo for this, his home, became imbued with a desire to do something, and soon leamed that tho loast he could do was to .speak well of Williamsport at all times and to grasp every opportunity for so doing. "Tho judicious distribution of literature issued by tho Board of Trade, coupled with tho individual work of the citizen, has accomplish ed the dosired result, and to-day Williamsport stand before tho world a conspicuous example of what can be done by Patience, by Push and by Perseverance. But in tho flush of success there lies tho greatest danger, and that tho work is completed must never for a moment bo supposed. In the contest for commorjial supremacy there are no furloughs, no truces, no letting up; on .ho contrary, such a contest successfully conducted means a continuous campaign and a campaign of oiernal, ovorlasting keeping-at-it." What has been done by William sport and many other cities on tho mainland can to a measurablo de gree bo done on Maui, if the right spirit is shown. Let tho citizens and business mon of Wailuku, through tho Impro foment Associa tion or otherwise become a body that does things, that is over .alert to foster improvements and pro ductive enterprises, whether it be for Wailuku District or for tho Is land at large; because tho upbuild ing of Maui means tho growth of Wailuku. When tho spirit of uni ted effort begins' to turn brightly, tho things to be done will bo found at hand, and will continually bo arising. To illustrate, some years since ono of our Island towns had a sidewalk commission appointed, and a law passed compelling prop erty holddrs to construct along their premises side walks of uniform grade. Although this law was de clared unconstitutiondX Ftill the commission succeeded 'jjsecuring cement sidewalks on ltvmain busi ness street from the harbor to the extreme upper limit of tho street. Wailuku has had opportunities in tho past, has them now, and will continue to have them ill tho future for growth and improvement.- It possesses an ideal site to build an ideal town, and its future is in tho hands of its citizens and business men. The spirit of "every man for himself," which lor-'so longprevail ed hero dwarfed our beautiful little town for many years, while the fruits of concerted and disinterest ed effort, prevailing here for tho past year have alreadybogun to rip en and become sweet to tho taste. Once let a feeling of enthusiastic energy inspire the citizens of our town, and Wailuku will respond in growth and prosperity. It is only thus that our'town can win growth, command respect- and develop of fered opportunities. The growth which Wailuku has achieved in tho past five years and tho increas ing respect it has won from the outside since it has reached out through organized effort is only a promise of what is to come in the future, if we will only reach out and take it. To epilomize, "Learn Wailuku's opportunities and advantages, but dont keep them to yourself." A Noble Life. Referring to resignation of Rev. E. G. Beckwith, the venerable and be loved pastor of tho Paia Foreign Church, tho Advertiser of Monday gives the following interesting sketch of his career on the Islands. Mr. Beckwith arrived in Honolulu in 1852 and took charge of the Royal School. Amony his pupils were five Hawaiian sovereigns, King Kameba meha IV., Kamehameha V., Lunalilo, Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani, besides Queen Emma. Mrs. Pauahi Bishop was also one of Mr. Beck with's pupils. In 1858, in company with Dr. Armstrong, tho Minister of Public Instruction, ho raisod $30,000 in tho States for tho endowment of Oahu College. Mr. Beckwith became the first president of that institution, succeeding Rev. Daniel Dole, who had been principal of the Punahou school. Having been licensed to preach, he soon resigned and became pastor of a largo church in Sacramento, Cali fornia. Among tho members of his congregation wero Governor Stan ford, CollisP. Huntington, the Crock er brothers and many others whoso names are part of California and Pacifio Coast history. After a theo logical course and sovoral pastorates in different parts of tho States. Mr. Beckwith drifted back, as all who have ever lived in Hawaii do, to tho "isles of tho blest " Ho became tho pastor of the old Fort Street church and when that morged into tho Cen tral Union church in 1887 ho became pastor of tho larger body. In 1894 account of advancing ago and tho ill noss of his wife ho resigned and took charge of the Foreign Church at Paia, Maui. Now full of years and honor ho has laid down tho work for young er hands to tako up and will enjoy a well-earned rest after over half a century of faithful labor for tho up building of these islands. A newspaper whoso columns over flow with nds of business men has moro influence in attracting atten tion to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can bo omploycd. People go whoro there is business. Capital and labor will locate whero there is an enter prising community. No power on earth i3 so strong to build a town as a newspaper woll patronized. You can judgo a merchants busi ness by tho amount of advertising ho does. HURTLING GRAPE SHOT STARTLE THE EMPEROR General Stoessel Off for Home. Japanese Cap ture Contraband Steamers.
