Hilo Fire Funds Crisis Shocks Island Department
The Hilo Fire Department faces funding gaps with no new appropriation beyond a $900 payroll and maintenance for a chemical engine. Bills for electric lights remain unpaid, and members have lent $75, risking a crippled engine room. Community merchants may be asked to subscribe until the next Legislature meets. Nearby banana shipments show industry growth aiding rail and steamship interests, while Kinau inaugural ball invites reach Hilo and local talk turns to state and national affairs.

Kona Coffee King在 Honolulu大有来头
Honolulu December 2 From the current outlook Honolulu may have to buy Kona coffee in San Francisco as the big Hawaii crop is sent to the Coast for higher prices. Wallace Bruner of Kona will handle most of the district with Bruner already controlling about two thirds of the crop. Last year Bruner cornered Kona, causing local shortages and Coast shipments. Kona coffee last year averaged about 16 cents a pound this year prices may rise 2 to 3 cents with a large crop and good profits for those who bought up small holders.
