Kahulul Port of Entry.
Do the inter-island navigation compa-
MES really know that the United States
Government has declared kahului "a port
of entry? Lahaina, Maalaea, and Make
ma have regular steamer service, but Ka-
ent on the port of Kahulu have to de-
pend on the leisurely movements of the

kahului on Wednesday morning, but

Gems Tres the Board.
The infected portions of Kahului are to
be thrown open at the end of four
months from the last death from plague.
In this two, unpardonably stupid mis-
takes have been made by the Honolulu
Board of Health. The first was to have
excluded the residents east of the railroad
from their homes so long, where there
has been no plague, and the second is to
open up the portion of town where the
plague actually found a foothold, too
soon. The evils arising from the first
mistake have already been experienced,
the danger to be feared from the second
is future contingency.

Waikiki Wants Park.
wanted-A public park Waikiki
should have at least one spot which could
be utilized as a public park. The Gov
ernment now owns an ideal place and 1t
should be the duty of the citizens of Wal
luku to see that 1t is devoted to that pur-
pose. The proposed site is the land pur-
chased from the Wailuku plantation for
a reservoir site. After the reservoir is
completed there will be enough ground
left to lay out a very nice little park. A
proposition has been made that the Gov
eminent sell this surplus land to private
owners, but It would be much better to
convert it into place of recreation.
Then plant it out to grass and set out
number of shade trees, with rustic seats.
The view from the site is one grand pan
