seemed that this was the only chan
mel that it came through
Suddenly suspicion was urected to
the other islands, and Hilo got in the
spotlight. Kauai was thought to be
"a landing place for it, and Madeiros
and Reeves left for there recently.
AS far as can be learned, their in
quiries failed to elicit anything defn-
ite.
1t has been proved, however, that
Hilo was used, for the Enterprise,
away back IN April. landed a guam
tity, and Captain Younger will have
a pretty stiff fihe to pay for this
breach by the members of his crew,
before he leaves the rainy city on
June 8. What amount of opium was
found could not be iearned from
those supplying the information that
it was on the Enterprise, nor the
amount of the fine that. has been
assessed. All that can be discovered
is that the Enterprise carried the
contraband, and that the captain will
be fined because his vessel had it.
The search for those who ship the
drug into these islands still goes on,
but so far no clew has been found
that will lead to the apprehension of
the smdyelers.

Mauna Kea on Marine Railway.
The Mauna Kea was successfully
hauled up on the marine railway Sat
urday morning to have a new blade
fitted to her propeller. The top of
enc of them was broken off some time
ago through coming in contact with
rocks. The last time she was on the
marine railway the coupling broke,
and she had sensational slide back
into the water. Since then the whole
structure has been materially strength
ened, and it is now said to b ecp-
able of lifting 1000 tons with perfect
safety.

The railroad authorities are care
full to see that no danger is allowed
to exist on the railroad wharves
through the use Of gasoline. An
CVerseer is placed there to see
that no one carries gasoline around
in manner that is careless or dan
gerous. While removing gasoline all
those engaged in the work are care
fully watched, while none at all is
permitted on the wharves after five
O'Clock. This restriction also applies
to other explosives.
Special arrangements have been
made with regard to the pumping or
oil from steamers. Only certain por-
tions of the docks are used for this
purpose in order to minimize the risk
from fire. Should fire break out
there is a strong probability that
thousands of bags of sugar would be
destroyed The precautions taken. It
is said, have reduced the risk to the
minimum.
