Matters Importniit to This Island
Arc Hlsciisspil.
Secretary, II. K. Cooper was be
fore tlic Senatorial Commission
Tuesday, September 9, at Hono
lulu. He made several references
to needed improvements for this
island which will be interesting to
Tkihunk readers.
The secretary stated that another
lighthouse was required on the
coast of Puna, Hawaii, nt Lelciwi,
the estimated cost being $10,000.
It would be necessary to have a
fixed, bright light with a lens of
the third or fourth order in order
to obviate the danger of mistaking
it for the light at Alia.
Still another light was wanted at
Kailua, this solely for the accom
modation of local steamships. A
lighthouse of the sixth order and
costing $5000, would be sufficient.
Secretary Cooper stated that the
Hilo harbor improvement was one
of the most important, items he had
to present. The estimate for har
bor and breakwater was $500,000.
At present, Hilo harbor

The only desirable means of reaching
the Volcano. Connections at Mountain
View with stnges daily morning trains
going; afternoon trains returning. Pure
from Hilo for the round trip J8. This
route is through Olna plantation, the
largest in Hawaii, virgin forests of koa
ami wild ferns, and through many coffee
farms.
The natural wonders of Puna make
that district the most interesting spot in
Hawaii. One cnu spend a most delight
ful day exploring the underground c.ives,
swimming in the famous Hot Springs
and resting on the cool bliorcs of Green
I.nU.
Excursion tickets between nil points
are sold on Saturdays and Sunda)s, good
returning, until the following Monday
noon.
Commutation tickets, good for twenty
five rides between any two points, and
thousand mile tickets are sold nt very
low rates.

was an
open roadstead and was in great
need of protection by the construc
tion of a breakwater from the
shore, Blond reef and Cocoa 11 tit
Island.
Mitchell By what authority
was this estimate made?
Cooper The estimates were
made previously by the Republic
of Hawaii. No survey has been
made by the Federal government.
Burton Is it not so that all
kinds of vessels go into Hilo har
bor at any time without a break
water? Cooper This is so except in the
case of a north wind in which case
vessels have to go to sea or be
thrown on shore.
Burton Are you sure of that?
Have not navy vessels reported
very favorably on Hilo harbor?
Cooper That may be but I
know that the harbor is dangerous
without a breakwater. I was on
board the Kinau in Hilo harbor in
the month of February, 1900.
Several merchant ships were iu the
harbor. There were also two or
three small steamers and the United
States survey ship Pathfinder. Al
most without warning a northerly
gale sprung up and it was only
with the greatest difficulty that the
different sailing vessels were gotten
into positions where they were safe
from the gale. All steamers kept
up steam and in several instances,
the machinery was kept moving to
prevent carrying away the cables.
One vessel was taken in tow by
two steamers to a place less exposed
than at the wharf. The danger
was not considered over until the
gale had abated. That is one ex
perience I had myself.
Cooper The estimate of cost of
a postoffice at Hilo is $16,000, this
is according to detailed plans.
The old building is not fit for occupancy.
Burton That is largely the work
of your delegate to Congress any
way. Foster Why not put up one
building and have- all the govern
ment offices in Hilo included
therein.
Cooper That probably will not
be done, according to the plans.
The harbor lines and location of
the nriucinal town of Hilo make
such an arrangement undesirable.
The Custom House should be con
sti tided on the Waiakea side of
the bay, while the postoffice should
be located on the other side of the
town, some two miles away.
Mitchell Does not the govern
ment own lands iu Hilo ou which
to erect public buildings?
Cooper Yes; there is a site for
the Custom House and another for
the Postoffice.
On the labor situation Mr.
Cooper spoke as follows:
"Since the Federal immigration
laws came into lorce we have been
deprived of one of our principal
sources of labor supply and the re
sult has been a stoppage of the on
ward march of development on ac
count of the limited amount of un
skilled labor.
"There has also been an increase
iu the wages of unskilled labor re
maining here. The profit! of the
plantations have been greatly re
duced. Many have not paid divi
dends and many more have been so
reduced as to result iii great hard
ship to the shareholders. Our vol
ume of trade with the Mainland
has been reduced 50 or 60 per cent
during the last year. When we
were prosperous we had funds to
trade with tho Mainland. Now
that we are cut off from our source
of unskilled labor we are deprived
of luxuries and even necessities.
"About 8000 Chinese have gone
out of the country since the changed
conditions and none are coming iu.
So far as the Japanese are conccred,
they remain about the same in
number."
Burton How about the price of
labor when your times were pros
perous and the present time?
Cooper The increase has been
about 40 per cent. No native force
can be drawn from. The Ha
waiiaus arc skilled laborers and
will not work in the fields. As to
Porto Ricans, about 2250 have
been imported into the country.
At first they were a disappointment
but they are better now.
"By increased price of labor we
may say that a large percentage of
money paid to laborers instead of
going to the. Mainland iu trade,
goes to Japan and China. The
Japanese and Chinese were satisfied
with the wages iu former years but
they have taken advantage of our
necessity to raise the price of
skilled labor. The Chinese gather
together a sufficient amount of
money to support them in their
own country and then they leave.
With the increased price of labor
they are enabled to do this much
more quickly."
Mitchell What would you
recommend?
Cooper I would recommend the
introduction of a limited amount of
Chinese labor for agricultural pur
poses only, on the same basis as Mat
adopted by the Republic of Hawaii,
the men to be here a definite period
of time, returning to China at the
end of that time.
Burton The labor question you
consider a most serious one. If
you could have, the same conditions
as under the Republic would you
be satisfied?
Cooper We could then come in
ou an equal basis with the other
States.
Burton You would not be afraid
of Cuban sugar then even with a
reduction of the tariff?
Cooper We would certainly be
in a better position.
Burton If the door were shut to
cheap labor here and opened to
cheap labor in Cuba with the addi-

serious state of affairs would exist,
would it not? The result would
be a prohibitive one to your pro

Senator Burton to Governor Dole
Is your judgment the same as
that of Secretary Cooper iu this
matter?
Dole It is.

Volcano Actho Again.
The volcano is acting in a most
accommodating way this week.
Sunday morning fire broke through
the cracks of the lava which formed
the surface of the lake that ap
peared September 1. The old crust
has evidently solidified to such an
extent that considerable force must
be exerted from below to break it
up.
Therefore the frequent upward
movements of the lava produce a
fine display of geysers, through the
cracks. Jets and fountains of lava
shoot upward with enchanting
effect as the tide of fire surges up
from below.
Tuesday night a small cone
formed iu the center of the old lava
lake where the molten flood broke
through. For a considerable time
there was a fine flow of lava from
tliis aperture and it spread outward
in waving Hues of fire. As the
volcano is now acting it is said to
be more interesting than when the
molten lake covered the bottom of
the pit.
Pain-h'iller, so justly celebrated
was introduced to the public about
sixty years ago, and now enjoys a
popularity unequalled by any other
medicine. For the cure of dysen
tery, cholera morbus, rheumatism,
coughs and colds, scalds, burns,
etc., it is without an equal. Sold
by all druggists. Avoid substi
tutes, there is but one Pain-Killer,
Terry Davis. Price 25c, and 50c.
Why lease land when
you can buy it for the
same money.
My Kattmana Addition is platted
into 40 lots, beautifully situated
on the main road, 2 miles above
Hilo. The tract commands a
view of -the sea from Hakalau to
