The Evening Bulletin reports on Hawaii in 1898 with scattered notes on ships to Honolulu, railroads, and political ties to the army. Judge Borgard furnishes a North Hilo coffee planter list with 24 owners and 86,000 trees under 3 years, Japanese owners totaling 62,000 trees, and 39,000 bearing trees.
In a coroner’s inquest testimony yesterday citizens questioned the government electric department wiring. Witnesses described dangerous electrical conditions and warned of risks, asserting knowledge of the electrical world without leniency or bias.
Superintendent Buck warns that patching wires offers no life or property protection and faults penny wise policies. Citizens as stockholders pay damages and deserve high quality government lines or an end to government lighting. Also notes a Nanana street inn door left ajar by Sunday morning revelers and a dare to blow up.
Arrangements by Professor Richards bring the Hawaiian Chorus to Foster hall at 7 30 this evening. Every member is urged to attend and bring a singing friend. Also notes local commerce and stock quotations and an Anchor Saloon advertisement.
Complaints arise about the Makiki pound where estrays are housed without care. Animals are not fed, causing starvation for owners whose horses remain locked up three or four days. A resident reports a horse died from lack of proper food after being kept there.
In October 1898 our store announces the display of new wares from over twenty five factories in Europe and the United States.
