\ NEW NEWSPAPER AND SOME OF ITS
CONTENTS.
The "Hilo record" is a new

first number appeared on Tuesday,
January s, 1889. The publishers
are Hitchcock & Hitchcock. The
sIilo Record" is little weekly
journal, published every Tuesday
1t is not a printed sheet,
neither is it in manuscript, but in
typewriterscript." The introduce
tory article states that the "Record'
is intended to furnish each week q
resume of matters Of interest occur
ring in the town of Hilo and on the
Island of Hawaii, and also as q me-
dunn for communication on any
matter of interest to the Hilo commu-
nifty. The Honolulu BULLETIN ex-
tends the right hand of fellowship
to the Hilo Record, wishing long
life and useful career to the new
born child. Hereunder we make
copious extracts from our Hilo con-
temporary:
NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Although the first was rainy
day, yet there were many pleasant
gatherings of Hilo people. The sea-
side resorts of Cocoanut Island
and"Seek on it," had pleasant gath
erings. Andgsome of our citizens
spent the day in the camp at Boo
ganvile. 1t was too cloudy to see
anything of the solar eclipse, but as
it was only partial one here, it was
not minded much. The evening be-
fore, the young people gathered at
the Papaikou Plantation and had \
splendid social time, dancing, ETC.,
while the Old Year went out and the
New Year came in. Such i'm
promptu gatherings are pleasant and
we should have more of them.
COURT NEWS.
The man Wo Sau, charged with
the murder of All Yep, Govern
mcnt policeman, last July, was COM
mitted for trial at the May term.
The evidence as adduced at the trial
appears very strong against him.
One other Chinaman, living al
Honomu, has also been committed
on the charge of being accessory
to the same murder. Two or three
other parties are still awaiting tria
on the same charge.
The main business before the
Court (police) the past few days, is
the trial of Delinquent taxpayers
1t is amusing to attend and see thu
establishment of some old woman, a
she is told she has $l.l0 to pay foI
a dog, and her reply, Judge l hav'
no dog and never had one," or til,
angry cry of some kanaka, "N'
money"
VOLCANO ROAD.
The exploration of the route i
progressing favorably. Mr.. Lid
gate has found the ''a-a" flow eX
tends close to and above the "Ha
welu House," and very near to tn
edge of the pahoehoe. The mos
feasible route will therefore be in
direct line from the cocoanut tree Of
this edge of the woods, TO poin
above "IIawelu's;" from thence
will probably run near the edge O
the woods until it strikes the san
belt. The route will shorten tA
present route some o or g miles
This route will open large tract G
valuable land for the cultivation G
coffee, both on Keaau and Olaa
The land in the woods ut Olaa is e'
pecially adapted TO the cpltivatio
of Irish potatoes, corn, or other W
getables of that nature, and ougl
to be thrown open TO small farmers
This road when fairly opened will |
the means of settling up u no
worthless stretch of land, 1t
just such an outlay of the publ
money as this that brings prosperiI
to any country, The resources
any country are developed by the
highways, Let no lllo man Their
fore in any way put an obstacle
the way of "pushipg on" the No
cano road.
