miles (by rally and Is miles there
from (by stage), leaving here at
o clock a. m. st. Helena was reach.
ed by II o'clock, and then after u
dinner at the local and leading hotel
in that pretty town l was fooled"
ever a splendid mountain and valley
road to the Springs. Many lla-
waiians have been there for health
and rest, and many more are bound
to go there, as the experience Of all
is that the baths, the daily drinks OF
medicinal waters, the rides and tours
about the country, the "home"
comforts enjoyed, and the familiar
and pleasant aspect of the surround
ing hills, valleys, glens, waterfalls
and delightful forests make the
Springs a fascinating resort. On
the register found the names of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Williams, Mr.,
and Mrs. Peterson, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. Hopper, Mrs. Thurston, Mrs.
Waller, and others who have left
behind them pleasant memories with
the manager, Mr.. Lidell and his wife,
and carried away new health and
lasting recollectons of their pleas
ant stay in that favored region.
interviewing Mr.. r.. Tucker, who
is our recognized dealer here in Ha-
waiian bananas, he gave me some
interesting figures in connection
with that article of export from the
islands. In 1886, the total number
of punches received here was 49,
554 in 1887, 80, 7OS; in 1888, 49,
061, of which, during the three
years, Mr.. Tucker handled more
than one-half.
SO far the shipments for 1889 pro-
mise to exceed that of previous
years, the total amount expected
being somewhere near $4,000 bun
ches. Hawaiian bananas arc sent
TO Vancouver on the north, and to
San Diego on the south, and rs far
east as Salt Lake City. If proper
arrangements were made on the
steamers, especially the Australia,
for having the punches hung in
racks fitted up between decks, and
above all, If growers and shippers
of the fruit in Honolulu would APP
preciatc fully the advantages ac-
cruing to them by taking care that
the lunches are cut in exactly the
right stage of growth, i. G. fully de-
veloped and on the verge of ripening,
and that they should never be sent
on board ship with the leaf wrap
pers wet, they would realize bet
ter profit on their shipments than
they do now.
The dates of sailing of the steam
ers from Honolulu at present are
not favorable to this trade, as, in
stead of a bona iide semi-monthly
trip we have two steamers arriving
and leaving within week of each
other, and then an interregnum of
from 26 TO 2S days, which forbids
the customers for bananas from re-
ceiving their supplies as they ought
to. RumOr hath it that the Austria
liza, upon here arrival here on the
18th, will be retitted, and that
amongst other improvements will be
the fitting up of racks, between
decks, for bananas, the placing in
position of "cold room" and per-
haps the renewing of her boilers.
In connection with this it is said
that the schedule time will be
changed so that between the islands
and this port there will be fifteen
day service.
| am informed that President Van
Horn of the Canadian Pacific r. II.
has reported that the company is
about having built in the United
States steel passenger steamer in
tended during the summer, to ply
between Vancouver and Northern
ports, and in winter to run to the
islands under the American flag
carrying passengers and bananas tt
British North American ports.
Mr.. Harry Won Holt is here now
as light-hesrted and happy as ever
He has cultivated a beard that is
something tremendous, and look
out its ambush with his clear blue
eyes as pleasantly as ever. Harr,
wants to 60 to Panama. If he doe.
60 he must look out for fevers, etc
Mr.. j. L. Warehouse, ST., il
here as active rs ever, and as de
cided in regard to his opinions con
corning Hawaiian affairs.
This mornings Chronicle speak
editorially of lady who is going +
the leper settlement rs follows:-
"The devotion of the English nurs
who is on her way now to aid Fathe
Damian in the care of the epers a
Molokai is something rarely seen i
these days. Here is woman so in
spired with the desire to help thos
who are outcasts from the world tina
she voluntarily goes to this Twins
death, leaving behind home and kin
dred, The annals of missionar
sacrifice have never shown anythin
finer than the heroism of Miss Fal
ian, and her name will be linke
with that of the unseltsh priest VIII
has given his life for the wretche
lcpers of Molokai."
