 Hold Institute

 Besides badly damaging the roof and flooring of a large section of the ware house the fire partly destroyed about 20 bales ol<eotton. The fire is believed 10 have originated from spark from passing switch engine in one of the rail- road yards along side of the warehouse.
 The fire was stubborn one and the department had to work for several hours before it was finally extinguished In the warehouse and compress where the fire occurred there were several thousand bales of cotton.
 The majority of this cotton as well as the warehouse is covered by insurance. It Is estimated that the salvage on the damaged cotton will amount from Sl0 to S25 a bale.

The Wharf Question.

Hawaii Herald: The figures which
have been produced by Engineer
Southworth in relation to the shipping
which has come to Hilo in the past
year would evidently show that a
wharf one thousand feet in length
would not be sufficient to handle the
traffic if this port, but it should al,
ways be remembered that half loaf
is better than none and that the eX,
penditure of the 100000 appropriation
is very much desired by all local peo-
pie. If a wharf costing that amount
is constructed and is shown to be
totally inadequate for the needs Of this
port it is practically certain that We
will get further improvements of the
same kind, while the stand which has
apparently been taken by some, that
because we can not get all we want
for the money available we should give
up what we have at hand, is radically
wrong.
As far as the position Of the pro-
posed wharf goes, the captains Of the
various vessels who come here are in
far better position to know whether
it will be satisfactory or not, than are
the local business men. If the com
handing officers of the various over
sea steamers state that they can put
their vessels alongside and also take
them away from the structure without
undue trouble, their word should be
accepted as final and that objection,
which has been interposed against the
proposed location should be regarded
as disposed Of. The attitude of the

HILO, November 24-Among the
Mauna Kea arrivals was Charles F.
Wood, the vice president of the Break
water Company, of Philadelphia, which
has been awarded the contract for the
breakwater work to be done in the
local harbor. Mr. Wood announced
that d. f. Met2ger has been appoint.
ed as the local manager for his COM
pany and that he would have full
charge Of the work to be done here.
The appointment evidently comes as
the result of the success which Metz
ger had in handling the first break
water contract, which he held in his
own name. Mr.. Wood said that Mr..
Metzger would place a survey party
in the field, and a core drill for the
purpose Of exploring a number of quar-
ry locations would arrive in a few
weeks.

has been one of the best possible

are practically unanimous in desiring
the immediate construction of a

poly of business to one corporation

County Santarium.
WAIbUKU, November PA little
more than a year ago the Maui Coun-
ty Board Of Supervisors, realizing
that pulmonary tuberculosis was ir-
creasing on the island, appropriated
funds for the purpose of erecting aI
least temporary buildings for the care
of these unfortunates. Accordingly a
committee was appointed for .he
purpose of selecting a site and as-
ranging other matters pertaining 10
the institution. A site was selected
at Keokea, Kula, at an elevation OF
some three to four thousand feet. and
at point whore there is but little
dust.
The Territorial Board of Health an.
preciated our efforts and appropriated
funds to help US, and recently the
Board Of Supervisors appropriated
funds for the purpose of erecting "a
ward or hospital building, and that is
now in course of construction. This
building will cost almost four and a
half thousand dollars. but there is
great need Of other improvements IN
mediately
The farm, which has been given us
by the Territory, should be stocked
that it may become partially self-sus-
tanning. Several of the ranches, as
we'll as individuals, have agreed to
contribute a number of good milk
COWS for the purpose, and now the
managing committee propose to raise
by subscription an amount as nearly
as possible equal to the amount an
propriated b" the Board of Superyis-
ors. This money is to be used for
the erection of another cottage or
building, for fencing and other much
needed improvements.
Since the institution was estab-
lished, a little more than a year ago,
it has been crowded to capacity and
much good has been done; not only
to the sick ones, but to their families
and communities, by removing the
most fruitful source OF infection. One
patient who was formerly very sick
with tuberculosis has apparently COM
pletely recovered, and a number Of
others are improving.
The Kihei Homesteaders.
The homesteaders who recently
took up beach lot homesteads near
Kihei are busy putting up fencing and
shacks on their little plots Of arid
land besides gathering the kiawe
beans and selling them at SIS per ton.
Agents for Honolulu wood dealers
are around Offering to buy kiawe wood
from them at $3.50 per cord. but nc
one is willing to sell at that figure
They say they would rather let the
trees die of old age than sell at $3.50
per cord AS enough trees to make a
cord of wood will produce a dollars
worth of kiawe beans a year during
the season, the homesteaders viii lose
nothing by holding on to their kiawe
trees until a more tempting offer is
made.
Since so much talk has come from
the government land department that
the Kihei hOmesteaders intend to
strip the land of the wood and then
abandon the arid sand plots, several
land-hungry people have come over
and are squatting on the strip of land
left outlying between high wat9r mark
and the lower edge of the lots ready
to seize the first claim that might be
abandoned. These homestead lots are
valued principally for the kiawe
growth on them estimated at from 100
to coo cords at the most on each lot.

About Kau Schools.

Miss Bertha Ben Taylor, supervis.
ing principal of Kau schools, states
that with the exception of Kapapala,
we have been able to accommodate
all pupils who have sought admission.
At Kapapala we are using a room in
the Japanese school, as there is no
government schoolhouse. The site for
a two-room building was selected about
two weeks ago, and we hope to have
our own schoolhouse next term At
present the first grade pupils attend
school from 8 to II and the second
and third grades from 1890 to $3.50.
There are 81 pupils of school age, viz.
to 10 years.
The other schools are not crowded,
excepting Mrs. Mesicks room at Pa
hala.

such as he had not enjoyed for some
time. Mr.. Jones expects to return to
this city again next month for a short
visit and at that time will be accom-
panied by granddaughter, of whom
he is fittingly proud. In speaking of
his visit to HilO he said:

which it can be handled. After going

Time by Wireless.

If the plans which have been sug-
gested should go through, Hilo will
in the near future receive from Homo
lulu by wireless the correct time ev-
cry day. The matter was first sug-
gested by the Hilo Railroad Company
and then taken up with Manager Stone
of the Hile Telephone Company who
is now trying to make the necessary
arrangements which will give the SER
vice desired.
At the present, the time is obtained
from Hakalau where sun observations
are taken but this has proved to be
rather unsatisfactory. Most of the
Hilo people obtain their time from
the chronometer in j. d. Kennedy's
iewelry store, but this does not always
agree with the Hakalau time report.
The matter has been taken up with
Manager Jack Balch, of the wireless
service One of the requisites will
be the installation of a first-class clock
at the Kawaihae wireless station,
which can be corrected daily from Ho-
nolulu by wireless.
Superintendent Filler of the Hilo
Railroad Company has offered, if the
wireless company can make the prop
er arrangements, to give the Hilo pub
lie the benefit of the innovation. He
has offered to place a large clock at
the foot of Waianuenue street, near
the postofIice, which shall be regulated
each day and So be correct, practical
ly to the second.

The government school at Kapehu
has opened it's doors of learning to
