KEALAKEkUA.

There is some agitation in kona to
have a deep water landing. There is
only one place for this, viz: Kealake-
kua Bay. The waters of the bay are
always calm and wharf built into
the bay could accommodate ships of
considerable tonnage. The first qlies-
ton in the matter is whether the
time has come for such an enterprise
1t seems very doubtful. Though Roma
is growing rapidly-in six years North
Kona has increased 7+.5 per cent and
South Kona 30 per cent-still a wharf
for deep water ships is very eXpeu-
sive affair." and to build one simply
because the place is suitable. is by no
means matter of good policy or OF
economic advantage.
However there seems no reason why
a ietty should not be built TO which
the Island steamers could come along
side. The system of taking freight
ashore by boats is slow, and often
very unsatisfactory, and if such ii
jetty could be arranged for. it would
be of immense value to the district.
If this were decided upon, the next
QUESTION would be, which side of the
bay the jetty should be built. At the
present time the steamer sends boats
to Napoopoo and to Kaawaloa. The
latter place is where Captain Cook
was killed Napoopoo would be, from
the point of view of The Star, decid
eddy the more convenient place, since
it would give clear road into South
Kona, and the distance between Ma
poopoo and North Kona is not so very
much greater than from Kaawaloa.
The fact is that Kealakekua is the
only perfectly sheltered harbor on the
coast of Hawaii

March IS, 1898.
A Blue Streak.

This is an old expression,
going like a blue streak.
The Tribune bicycle people
have taken it up and are
manufacturing a bicycle by
that name. 1t is all that its
name implies, being painted a
bright shade Of blue, and so
easy to run that the rider
looks when passing like a
blue streak.
We received a shipment OF
them by the last steamer, and
they are now ready for in
spection and sale. They come
in three models for ladies and
gentlemen at sos, $85 and
500. 1t is not necessary to
reiterate what the good points
of the Tribune wheels are.
Every bicyclist knows that
they are a standard make and
one of the best wheels ever
put upon the market. They
will stand more hard usage
and more rain and mud than
any other make.
Our stock of TRIBUNES
is complete. We have them
in Black, Blue and in Black
Striped with Gold.
| awhile we advise all custom
ers to pay little more money
and get a standard make, yet
for those who do not wish to
put so much money into a
wheel we have imported a
Columbus wheel, ladies mod
ell, and a Jimmy, mans mod
ell, which we can sell you at a
much lower price. They are
very good wheels, strong, and
made of good material.
1t costs nothing to call and
look over our stock and we
are always pleased to show
you what we have on sale.

UNPAID BILLS.

During the next the week the House
will probably learn why there is such
long list of unpaid bills and sala-
ri,s as was brought in yesterday. On
the face of it, it looks very much as
if a considerable portion was caused
by either red tape or carelessness.
why the salaries of so many district
magistrates remained unpaid is prob
ably eNplainable by the fact that the
drafts did not come in in time and
this is presumably the case with the
fifty-seven school salary drafts and
the fifteen school agents drafts.
One sees again the incidental ac-
count of one or two of the depart
ments overdrawn and asking for as
sistance. This is mainly due to the
departments not asking enough for
this purpose, or else putting on to in
cidentals expenses which they should
not bear.
OF course with the greatest care
there will of necessity be some mis-
calculations, but they should not run
into such large figures. The various
departments should calculate careful
~ what is required and having OBJ
tanned that they should keep within
the sum granted. If there is not suf-
fcient money the Improvement or re-
pairs should wait until fresh supply
is voted
Naturally claims like those of the
Canadian and Australian line and
those of Charles Dunwell and the ia
panese on board the Kinai Maru could
not be foreseen. but it is the other
amounts over which fault has been
found.
