lilo Jews,

past week. 1t is due to the Board
TO say that our streets are new in
better condition than we have ever
known them before. The new
street, Kukuau, has been ditched
and graded, and opens up TO quite a
nice portion of tue town. 1t need
macadamizing, as If wet weather
should set in, it would he two feet
in mud. But that will come in time.
Again, Kaumana. street has been
fixed up to the cemetery, and that
is great improvement. We hope
that as soon as the road tax is in the
Pleasant street extension will be
opened up.
We understand that the matter of
Front street extension is under con-
sideration by the Board; and the
probabilities are that canal will
be opened between the Waiolama
and the Waialoa streams. Thus
allowing the sand to wash in at the
present mouth of the Waiolama and
80 giving us continuous drive
around the bay to Waiakea. We
are little doubtful as TO whether
1T is the best plan. A bridge across
the Waiolama, in some respects,
would be good, but still we are not
prepared to say that it would be
best. We would draw the attention
of the Road Board to the encroach-
ments made by those living on the
Waiolama street, running from the
old Governess house to Volcano
street. During the past week the
old fence has been pulled down on
the south side and set over again
from a foot TO two feet into the
road. 1t seems to us that the Board
should make the parties move the
fence back again. For the benefit
of friends residing on the other ISL
ands, we will say, that, since the
present Road Board system was
organized, there have been seven
miles of fair carriage road out of
Hilo on the north side and that one
can drive out now (although the
road is not tinished) up to the ramie
plantation in Puma, on the Volcano
road, about eight and half miles.
This shows that there has been a de-
cided Improvement in this district,
on the expenditure of road funds,
from what it was four years ago. If
we can keep on at this rate by the
time the Legislature of 1892 is call
ed, we will be able to drive in car
riage from Hilo to Laupahoehoe, and
as Hamakua has almost finished o
good carriage road to the boundary
of our district, the probabilities are
that one can get into his brake and
drive into the valley of Waipio, by
that time. Don't let US then say
that the present Government is )
failure.
The matter of the re-opening the
boundary question of Papaikou
came up before His Honor Judge
Lyman on Thursday last week. AT
ter hearing evidence in the case, the
case was re-opened and the bound.
aries were fixed as by map placed
on file by the Government survey.
Hon. Judge Lyman held an APP
peal court on Friday last. One
petty larceny and one civil case
we're all that were tried at the time
Our editor-in- chief leaves early
tomorrow morning for Kau anc
Kona expecting to attend the Sep
TENDER term of the Circuit Court
which has been postponed till Sept
18th.
We are sorry to have to chronicle
the death of our friend Chua Lung
He had made many friends in Hill
by his sgentlemanly ways and hi'
square business dealings.

The Volcano up to last accounts
was in great state of activity
Changes are going on continually
The crater is filling up rapidly ant
from all indications there will be al
outbreak in the near future. Tn,
smoke rises from the lake and vIcin
ity in masses, and an old kamaain'
says that he has "never seen 8,
much smoke arising from it before.
On clear day we can see the column
of smoke, from here.
There is rumor afoat that smok
is arising from the steam cracks o
the flats towards Kau, where smok
has never been seen before. ]
this is so, the outbreak will in q
probability be in that place or nea
there.
We have been free from earth
quakes for some time, but from tn
outlooks at the volcano, we had BET
ter prepare ourselves for GOO
shaking up. AS far as we can lear
Mokuaweoweo is quiescent, but it
about time for her to make hersel
known.
There is scarcity of water Q
the Volcano House. The frequeE
rains we have had lately seem not
have reached there. The horse
have TO be taken some distance |
water. 1t is to be hoped that til
heavy rain of Friday and that nigl
, reached there.
