WILDER d CO.'S EXTENSIVE
IMPROVEMENT.
The Warehouse is to be Doubled in
Capacity and the Wharf Doubled in
Length.

Wilder's Steamship Company is
making extensive improvements at
Waiakea landing. The contract has
been authorized for the construction
of an addition to the present ware
house there, doubling its capacity.
The convenience of handling goods
in and out of the warehouse is also to
be greatly increased. 1t is to be so
arranged that three or four drays, in
stead of only one at time, can be
loaded or unloaded.
The wharf is to be extended to
double its present length. This will
permit the handling of freight and
passenger boats at the same time,
greatly facilitating matters on steam
ers calling at this landing.
The work is to be pushed to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible. The
Waiakea Mill company will continue
to use the warehouse and wharf as
they have heretofore done.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL.

The Selborne school for boys at
San Rafael, California, is situated
within one hours ride from San
Francisco, and offers the comforts
and influences of a Christian home.
Skilled teachers, unequalled table and
separate beds are some of the induce
ments offered. This school has very
strong recommendation from Homo
lulu residents and should receive the
patronage of those who are seeking
preparatory school for their boys.

LEHUA'S TRIAL TRIP.

The Wilder's Steamship Company
rebuilt steamer Lehua made her trial
trip yesterday and developed a speed
of eight and nine knots an hour. This
is faster than she is required to go
by the terms of her contract with the
government, but it is believed that
when her engines and machinery have
worn their newness off she will be
able to make still better speed.
She has been entirely rebuilt as to
her works and interior finishing, and
her engines and machinery have been
practically reconstructed. She is a
first rate steamer now in her class.
She leaves today under command OF
Captain Everett, carrying load of
lumber for Molokai. On Monday she
will begin the regular run of the Mo-
kolii, which win then be taken out
of regular commission.

CITRUS FRUIT ON HAWAII.

k. L. Forrest, manager of the Vol
cano Stables, has a tract of land in
kaumana planted to coffee and citrus
fruits, which is a very valuable piece
of property and promises him excel
lent dividends on his investment. He
has 450 navel orange trees, now two
years old, which are about five feet
high and are loaded with fruit of a
very fine quality, says the Hilo Tri-
bune. Great success with the grow
ing of citrus is being met with all
through the district, especially in the
kaumana and Kaiwiki sections, and
from that elevation upward to fifteen
hundred feet. If transportation facil-
tiles can be secured to San Francisco
teh industry will prove prominent
one,

why not buy singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light
