finished to the halfway house, a place
for refreshments is needed and suitable
place to repose. 1t may be also neces-
sary that the Volcano house should be

bananas than are sent from Honolulu.
No place on the islands will equal Hilo
for big lunches of this fruit
Glad to know that the iron pipes for
the introduction of the spring water into
HilO will arrive in February next. Pure
water is greatly needed here.
The japanese hospital, it seems, is to
be in the place selected at first, notwith-

building is an ornament to the place.
Ali Hilo welcomes Miss Grace Porter
