IMPROVE MENTS
ON ESPLANADE

Now that the custom house has
succumbed to the march of improve
ment the wreckers have turned their
attention to the big brick warehouse
on the espianade just Eva of the old
custom house site. The roof has al
ready been removed and the men are
at work tearing down the walls so that
a few days more will see the end of
this building. A foundation is being
laid just across Queen street from this
warehouse for new one to be con-
structed out of the remains of the
destroyed structure with a foundation
made out of coral blocks from the old
custom house. These improvements are
part of the scheme for the improve
ment of the waterfront by the clearing
of the Esplanade.

HAWAIIAN WILL
SAIL ON SUNDAY

The Observation-Disclosures steamer
Hawaiian went over to the Naval docx
No. 2 yesterday morning. This move
was necessitated by the fact that there
was not enough water at the company's
wharf. She is taking out about s.
900 tons of sugar and this puts her
pretty well down in the water. She
will load about 600 tons at the Naval
wharf and will not get away for Della
ware Breakwater until Sunday morn
ing at seven o'clock. Sugar is coming
in very slowly now, most of the plan
tations being very nearly out. The
steamer Nevadan of the same line sail
ed on the 31st from Tacoma for this
port. While sailing via the Sound she
will not bring mail for Honolulu. She
will arrive about the 9th of September.

This morning the Alameda is sched-
uled to arrive from the Coast with
| nine days mail and newspaper files.
| She has been on the dry dock this trip
and has been thoroughly cleaned and
Ioverhauled. but in spite of the short
| time she has to load in San Francisco
the cable brings the welcome news
that she left the foggy city on time
on her flight to sunny Hawaii If she
had been delayed it would have been
a terrible thing for Honolulans. Why,
along the Waikiki sshore the kamaai-
mas set their clocks by the sound of
Head with unfailing regularity on the
morning of every twenty-first day.
Primitive man mea sured time by
moors, the Greeks by Olympiads and
the dwellers of the Coast by months,
but your true kanaka measures his
by Alamedas. 1.-TWO Alamedas ago. I
came,'' says man and all Honolulu
understands. Without the Alameda
honolulu Hl1SnC De iOSC TO the OUTSIDE
world. Before the cable came her
regular appearance was the event of
the city's life; today she is the one
steamer that can be depended on. The
other liners may be delayed or held in
quarantine but the Alameda moves Sc
renely on. The Vladivostok squadron
may get the Korea and chase the Ma
rus from the sea but all Honolulu
knows that the Alameda is still on
the run.
For years she has brought US the
tidings of the great outside world for
good or ILL., She has brought us the
food we live on and the clothes we
wear. She has carried the love letter
we have composed and the duns for
unpaid bills that have been composed
for us. She has brought over. our best
girls when they came to see US, our
brides when We married them and our
mothers-in-law when they visited US.
Dear old Alameda, long life to her!

BIG SHIPS WILL
CROWD THE PORT

The capacity of the port will be pref
ty well tested next week when the big
liners begin to arrive. The Alameda
will be in port until the eth. On the
morning of the 9Th the Korea and the
giant Manchuria will arrive, the Ko-
rea probably first. The transport sher-
man is due on the 9Th from Manila
via Nagasakf but may get in the 9Th.
With this fleet in port the workers for
harbor Improvement may well make
pointed demands.
Just how the fleet win be disposed
is an open question. The Korea is
able to dock at the Hackfeld wharf al
though it is avoided when possible. The
navy dock is the only place where the
Manchuria can dock. This will mean
that the Cambronne viii have to move
and the transport go to Naval dock No
2. Altogether it will be busy time
for the harbormaster.
