A fire which nearly proved to be
very damaging one, occurred on
Wednesday noon last week. The
youngest child Of Mrs. Loebenstein,
in the absence Of her mother, pro-
cured some matches and lighted a
fire in small room off the main
building of the Coan premises. The
interior of the room was well burnt
out, but the fire being discovered
before it had made much Roadway
in the main building was fortunately
put out. Thanks are due to Levi
and Ernest Lyman for their efficient
services at the fire. Fires are be-
coming more numerous in this town
as we are getting built up more and
more, and we must either have our
water pipes laid on soon or be forced
to organize fire brigade.
Our remarks d few issues ago
about the Cocoanut Island premises,
were well received and steps are
being taken to put the building in
good repair, put in a good "spring
board" at the bathing place, cement
the rocks around it, build paths
about tbs Island and q wharf for
landing on, etc. ANY sums, how
ever small, will be received by Mr..
Richards at the telephone office and
we will guarantee they will be all
faithfully applied to the above pur-
poses. We will be one of ten per-
sons to give $3.50 for q good 400
gallon iron tank for water, as tank
of some kind s needed. Who will
join us? Let US not be small in our
contributions for putting our sea-
side park in good order.
The weather has been very
showery the past week and we are
glad to see that our streams are very
full. We need great deal of rain
to fill up our upper swamp, so as to
carry us through the fall dry
weather. Not having had any snow
fall the past winter on our noun
tains, we must have a great deal of
rain fall this summer to make up
for it, or else we will suffer when
the dry Kona weather sets in.
The Government schools have all
closed and the teachers are all going
