is as fine grade, possibly finer, than
either of the latter. OF course" con-
tinued DIR. Waibel. Il know nothing
from an actual experience with the
Guatamala seed planted here, what
the flavor is. l do know, however. that
objection to il in San Francisco is based
on the fact that it has a decidedly bit
ter and weedy taste not noticeable i'm
any other grade. Nor is the aroma as
pleasant as in other coffees.
This, very likely. is due to the pc
culiarity of the soil of Guatamala, for
when the seed of the best fancy Costa
Rico is planted in Guatamala the same
fault is found with the berries picked
from the trees. grown from local stock.
The Hawaiian soil may be different,
and possibly would rid it of that bad

1T here, there is always desire for it,
and when the output of the Islands is
large enough so that more people can
try it / have no doubt that the demand
will increase.
There are inquiries from people who
have heard of Kona coffee and in most
cases they get Guatemala and do not
call for it again. Another thing! The
lack of facilities, machinery, etc, for
the proper treating of coffee before
shipping it to the coast acts against it
in two ways: 1t brings a lower price
by at least four cents a pound and the
percentage of sour berries in the coffee
deteriorates the flavor. This in it's i'm
perfect state is used for blending, and
instead of adding strength and flavor
to common grades of coffee and fifteen
per cent chicory, leaves it in practically
the original state.
People who pay fifty cents a pound
for coffee do so because they want to
feel that they are getting a good ar
ticle; whether they get it or not, is for
them to decide; the average retailer
does not give the matter much thought
after the sale is made. / know of a
firm in San Francisco selling alleged
Kona coffee at 80 cents a pound when
as matter of fact they never had a
pound of Kona coffee in their store"
If that firm sold the genuine article
there would be a greater demand for
Kona coffee than there is, and less for
Java and Costa Rica, for the reason
that the genuine Kona is the same

Francisco, and formerly a resident of
Honolulu. Mr.. Waibel is taking his
first vacation in several years, and is
putting in his time visiting old friends.
Sitting on the veranda of the hotel
yesterday with Major ]. Walter Jones
and an Advertiser reporter, Mr.. Waibel
spoke of the possibilities of Kona cof-
fee and the trade with San Francisco
from the standpoint of a man who
knows the difference between beach
sand and A sugar.
Il saw in your paper" said Mr.. Wal
bel, "a letter from a coffee grower on
Hawaii regarding the superiority of
Guatemala berries over Kona berries
for this country. 1 regret to say / must
differ with him in so far as the quality
of the coffee is concerned, and conse-
quently as to it's commercial value. The
tree may grow more rapidly and pro-
duce more coffee than the Kona, but it
will not answer the same purpose in our
market.
The short supply of Mocha, and the
fact that it is practically unobtainabIe
creates demand for some grade to
blend with Java. OF the two, one has
the strength, the other the flavor.
Guatemala coffee will not answer
the purpose, and it brings less money

Great was the excitement in the city
Friday morning when the steamer w.
G.. Hall arrived from Hawaii with ac-
counts of the tidal waves on that island.
AS usual, few crack Drained individu-
ais went running about the city spread
ing all sorts of sensational stories re-
garding loss of life along the Kona
coast and terrible disaster in all quar-
ters. The following account of the tidal
wave and the damage it caused was re-
ceived from Captain Simerson of the
w. G.. Hall.
1--WE were at Honuapo on Monday
morning when the tidal wave was first
noticed. AS soon as 1 saw the danger 1
whistled to the boats and we were very
soon steaming out to sea. After the
danger was over we returned.

struck Kawaihae first and then went
around the Kona and Kau way to Hilo.
Kavafhae.
1.-THE first wave struck at about 8:15

test of years was completely demoI-
iShed.
KaiIua.
Wave struck at about $3.50 and de-
molished the lumber yards of Messrs
NJ F. Scott and George Clark. All the
lumber was washed out to sea, but boats
were set to work and much of this was
restored. The warehouse was filled
with water and much of the freight was
badly damaged

agent at Kaflua, and inserted here for

deal of damage no doubt has been done
here and along the Kona coast, but

written by Miss Paris of Kailua to a
friend in Honolulu:

Atchison Globe.
AS general thing the plays produced al
the theaters these days are enough alike to
create the impression that one man wrote
all of them. The heroine, a founding, is
adopted by people who once had daughter
who run OFF and disappeared The villain
discovers that the founding Is in reality
the grandchiid of her foster parents, ana
makes up his mind to marry her to get the
old folks money. He plots to get the hero.
with whom the heroine Is in love, out o.
the way. He charges him with murder, or
with forgery (here the writer has a chance
to vary his plot little bit; he can hav.
forgery tonight and murder tomorrow
night and the hero is put in Jail.
The soubrette and the funny man unearth
the plot. liberate the hero. accuse the viii
lain, who confesses all, and in the last scene
the old people find their grandchild, the
heroine and her lover are united. the sou-
brette and the funny man agree TO tie uf,,
and the villain shoots himself.
Those who are ambitious to become play
writers viii find in these details ali the IN
gradients necessary to mix up for popular
play.
