FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1902, Entered at the rostoffice at Ililo, Ha waii, a second-class matter FUBU3IISD RVKRV FRIDAY. L. W. HAWORTH - - Editor. It's alright about the polo; but none of them can beat Corp. Her ing of Co. D, at j?oo yards with the rifle. A SEA-FRONT PARK. Within the past month a number of Hilo citizens have called at the Tribunk office to urge a movement with the purpose of reclaiming the Hilo water front for park purposes. , The front now is occupied by laun dries, lumber yards, Chinese and Japanese stores and vacant lots. Much of the land is under lease from the government for varying terms of years. Some of it is owned byjocal holders in fee. That a Sea-front Park, set to grass and or namented with tropical trees and plants would made Hilo the pretti est spot on earth cannot be ques tioned. That such a park would indirectly add to the value of all Hilo property is most probable. There is one thing certain, if the project is ever carried out, it cannot be done at less public cost than now. It would have cost less years ago. It will cost more in years to come. The proposed widening of Front street to an 8o-foot boulevard, which has been talked of and planned by the Department of Public Works during the past year, brings the Sea-front park to the fore as an immediate issue, if it ever is to be one. The Tribunk has it on good authority that the officials at Ho nolulu look with favor on the propo sition of creating a Sea-front park in Hilo, and that they will bear the matter in mind when application for extension of water front leases come in. Under our centralized system of government, this otherwise local matter is transferred to Honolulu for consideration and action. If there is a sentiment in Hilo sup porting the proposition, it must be directed to the powers at the capital. It is fair to presume that they will do all in their power in behalf of any good cause that has the pre ponderance of Hilo opinion behind it. The Tribunk invites communica .. --- y ...,. iiuu may" De interested in the proposition. Christmas shoppers should not fail to come to Hilo and look over the bargains to be found in all the stores. The stocks already ex hibited are very fine and when the cargo of the Enterprise is discharged every Hilo mercantile establish ment will look like a branch office of Santa Claus & Co. In squaring itself with Justice Galbraith, if the Herald intended to be witty it must do its own laughing; if it intended to be com plimentary, the liking of Galbraith to Dole is sufficient to make every body laugh. Thk Honolulu Grand Jury which had for its duties the overhauling of the conduct of Territorial officials wielded its brushes of tar and white wash with equal vigor and effect. Ip Governor Dole was not al ready the recipient of so much ad vice concerning whom to appoint to office the Tkiiiunk would hand him out a column or so. Ip the Treasurership is still a begging it may come to Hilo yet. SUUAK. Market Shows Continued Signs of Strength. New York Nov. 24.

Kusslaus Arouse Ilritons. 'wuuuu, rov. 22. Ufitish inter ests in Persia are imperiled and the Loudon advocates of an "under standing with Russia" are pointing to the new difficulty as further justification of their campaign. Until recently it had been as sumed that Russian enterprise in Persia would confine itself to the north, leaving to the British a trade monopoly of Southern Persia. The startling information has reached the British Foreign Office that the Russian Government 1. s just es tablished a consular agency at Ah waz, a district where Ruasia has as yet no tangible interest, and where Britain has long enjoyed unchal lenged supremacy. Sealed bids will be received up to Dec. 14th by A. G. Curtis, at the office of the Road Board for the construction of a 16 foot road at Pahou. Profile and specifica tlons may be seen at the R. B. Office. V. B. McSTOCKER, Chairman Puna Road Hoard. Thk wonder is if too many county and municipal government commissions will not make it neces sary to leave the business to Con gress. Thk Portuguese of Hilo do not easily forget the ancient day from which their liberation from Spanish oppression is dated. Thk Island of Hawaii will soon be belted by a government wagon road. This is infinitely better than no road at all. Thk Senate at Honolulu last Saturday endorsed Governor Dole's action in removing Auditor Austin from office.
