to Hanamaulu. With such a con-
venipnce there would be no need
of delays in the transportation of
sugar to Honolulu as Hama
maulu is very seldom 10
such a state that steamers cau-
not enter. There would be but
very little difficulty in running
the line aud when once established,
that would, it has been calculated,
he a saving of about fifty cents on
the bag. Then again, excursion
trains between Lihue, Hanams-
ulu, Kappa and Kealia could be
run on Sundays or any holiday
People would he only too glad Of
the chance for rapid transit from
one place to the other. During
other days even, people would
travel.
There is a vast improvement in
the roads between Lihue and Ke-
ALA. New bridges and culverts
have been put 10 needed places
aud the grades have been made
very much easier. Work is still
going on. AT first, people began
to "kick' about the expense but
now they are beginning to give
Road Board praise for its work.
Everything is activity in Keslia.
Preparations for the new season
are being made. The item of
most Importance is the present
work on the artesiau we'll near by.
The water from this is to be used
for the mill. The flow was sup
posed to be about a million gal
Ions per day but. few days ago
a pump was set to work aud the
we'll developed l,750,0O0 gallons
or 100000 gallons more than
necessary to run the mill. The
real capacity of the we'll is not yet
known.
There is one peculiar thing
about this well. The water is AS
fresh aud pure rs the very best.
1t has always been contended by
the expert that such water
could not be obtained from a
well near the sea unless
there happened to be a reef out
side. There is no reef aud the well
is only 700 feet from the sea.

The T. s. S. Bennington arriv
ed in n wiliwili Thursday morn
ing early. After having been
shown about the place, the Amer
lean dag WAS raised near the land
ing by some of the bluejsckeis. 1t
WAS too rough to remain at Nawi-
Twill so Captain Taussig decided
10 spend the night at sea. In the
forenoon of Friday, the Benning
ton put into Hanalei, where the
weather WAS fine. The bluejackets
were drilled ashore and the officers
explored the country. Saturday
morning the Hanalei school chill
den were taken of aboard and
shown over the ship. 1t was on
the previous day that Captain
Taussig kindly entertained aboard
Judge Kakiua, Deputy Sheriff
Donaldson and our party. 1t was
the first time that the portly judge
of the Hanalei district had seen
man-of-war of the kind.
