Waiakea Survey.
1t looks as if the Territorial govern
ment was going to fulfill its promise
to open up a tract of the unused Wal
akea lands makai of the mill for set
tlement, as Governor Frear said some
time ago that it would try to do.
a couple of Territorial surveyors
are now in Hilo for the purpose of
making maps of the tract. Of course,
the opening of the lots for homes IS
not the primary purpose of the sur
vey, but it is one of the factors taken
into consideration therein, and the
prospects that the homeseekers who
have their eyes on this tract may live
to see their hopes realized, seem ros-
