THE NOMINATIONS.
The ticket for mobiles for this island
Is j. Marsden, of Hamakua, and A.
Young, OF Honolulu. That for repre-
sentatives for this island is as follows
South Hilo: r. Rycroft, Indepen-
dent; J. Nawahi, Bush Wilcox.
Central Hilo: Koahou, Indepen-
dent.
II. West and w. Mossman, Bush
Wilcox.
Kauwila: unknown.
North Hilo: J. NATION, Independ-
ent.
Haakimea, Bush Wilcox.
Hamakua: Kaunamano, Independ-
ent; Paakiki, Bush-Wilcox.
Kohala:J. Kalua Hookano, Tndepen-
dent; G.. P. Kamauoha, Bush Wilcox.
Kona: Waipuilani, Independent;
d. II. Nahum and Keliikoa, Bush
Wilcox.
Kau: G. X. Apiki, Independent;
J. Kapahu, Bush Wilcox.
Road Board for Hilo: Il. Scholtzy,
j. Il. Baker, A. b. Loebenstein and
valiant.
On nomination of the third
name of the same, the names of J.
Wilson, w. Weight and A. b. Loeb
enstein were put up. Mr.. Wilson
withdrew and the ballot taken re-
suited in one vote majority for Leeb-
enstein, and on motion it was made
unanimous, no one voting against it.
We think that one member should
have been put on il living in Central
Hilo, or central of the district, but
Mr.. Weight lives in town, and we
cannot see that he is a central man
any more than Loebenstein.
The roads from town toPapaikou and
Onomea are in very fair condition.
1t is from Onomea to Hakalau that
the roads need working the most,
and we think Mr.. Scholtzy, Of Homo
mu, is competent to look after that.
The great travel is on our end of the
road from Papaikou in, and that road
should be kept in fair order. But we
believe the new Road Board will at
tend to 1t that at least II good solid
horse road be put through from Ono
mea to Hakalau. Work has been
going on there for the last few months
but it requires great deal more.
We are sorry to lose our present
Road Board; they have given great
attention to their work, and what has
been done has been done well, and Is
to their credit. How the new elect
i've Road Board will work remains to
be seen.
A boat was capsized alonsIde of the
wharf the other day, and Mr.. Leube
received considerable injury but Is
around again.
The surf is very high and no land
ing Of freight can be had ut our
wharf.
The road between Onomea and
Honohina is In q fearful condition.
DR.. Thompson was compelled to
leave his horse fast In n mud hole,
and walked some four miles to get
help to get the horse out. Many ami
mails have been badly injured and
holes in the country.
A Tantalus road can be built, but
when money Is wanted to make even
horse trail through our rainy,
muddy district there Is none in the
strong box.
The Volcano road Is now finished
beyond the seventeenth mile and
work IL going on well. With the
present force there il q probability
that before March 3lst there will be
mile and half more finished. At
that time all appropriation for that
work will cease, but the prison gang
numbering about sixty men can be
kept on, and we earnestly hope they
will not be removed. The prisoners
do not draw their support from the
Volcano road appropriation, but from
support Of prisoners, and that will
have to go right on and not stop on
March 3lst, and they can and ought
to be kept on at work, and we trust
they will be.
