CBond boarded the Kinau for Homo
lulu, for the purpose Of entering
Robbie and Edith at Punahou
School. Mr.. Bond intends to return
by the Kinau on the 10th, while Mrs.
Bond viii remain several weeks.
This is another drawback to the
whites in this district; no way of
securing an education for their
children, without sending them to
the public schools, unless they are
sent to Honolulu or abroad. This
does very well for those who have
long purses; but how about the peo-
pie with lean bank accounts?
From the evening Of the LIST up to
the 9Th, the rainfall here was over
seven inches. Pretty well for so dry
district.
On the Kinau of the 9Th, arrived
three of the Japs who ran away from
Kohala Plantation a short time since.
They were apprehended by Mr.. Lu-
cas-. their luna, at Laupahoehoe.
On the 7th inst, 7. B. Arcia was
committed for trial at the May Term
of Court which convenes at Rilo, on
the charge of manslaughter, after
three days examination, during
which a great number of witnesses
testified, and during which some
hard swearing was done. This means
he must lie in jail for four months,
with no visible means Of support for
his large family This, doubtless, is
law, and may be justice, to him (if
he is guilty., but what about his wife
and little children, who leave for
Honolulu in the Kinau?
The problem, as regards to the
missing foreign mail, that has been
so long due at this place, was solved
on the evening Of Saturday, the 10th,
by the arrival at Mahukona of the
schooner J. G.North. She left Homo
lulu on December Oath, 1890; con-
, sequently, occupied seventeen days
4for trip Of a trifie over one hundred
miles. She must either have been be-
Gained or blown out Of her course.
The people now breathe freely, as
sured that their Christmas parcels
from foreign shores are safe. Moral:
send Hawaii mails by steamers.
Last week Halawa Mill began
grinding, but broke a roller shaft
the second day, and is now laid up
for repairs The roller and shaft
go to Honolulu per Kinau.
We are informed that Messrs.
Kynnersley & Wallace are laying a
line Of pipe from the Star Mill
water main to their Office, for the
purpose of furnishing the people at
Puehuehu and vicinity with water
supply. This is a much-needed and
Iong-felt want, as cisterns are very
Objectionable and not always reli-
able. Messrs. X. & w. are entitled
to the thanks of the Puehuehue
people for this good work. By the
time our water works appropriation
is available-we don't count on it
we will not need it.
There seems to be some kind of a
hitch between the Kohala Telephone
Sc. and the Hilo Co. in relation to
~ route from here to Kawaihae. |
The Kohala Co. wants to run it via
Kahua ranch, while the Hilo Co. in
sists that it must run along the
beach. All are very anxious that the
line shall be pushed to an early com
pletion, and hope that with this end
in view the misunderstanding will be
speedily adjusted.
On Sunday, Jan. IL, Rev. j. NJ.
Silver delivered his farewell dis
course to a crowded house. He will
be missed in this district and Hama
kua, where he has endeared himself
to the people by his uniform kind
ness and courtesy. Rev. A. Ostrum
was unable, on account of indisposi-
ton, to oficiate at the Foreign
church on Sunday, the 18th inst.
