The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-17


of the best moves made by the harborI
commission was realized one day last
week when three big oCean-going
steamers flying the companys fagI
were working at the wharf at the one
time.
Last Tuesday the steamer LurIne
vas lying at the wharf getting ready
to sail for the Coast and with her
were the Hilonian and the Wilhelmina
both discharging When the Hilonian
came into port this was the only berth
that could be assigned to her as the
Railroad wharf was full.
Before the shed was erected on the
Eva end of the Hackfeld wharf it was
impossible for the harbor officials to
work the three steamers at the wharf
It is estimated that the erection Of
the shed has increased the utility Of
the Hackfeld wharf by fifty per cent.
This is particularly Interesting in
view of the fact that there was great
deal of opposition at the time, when
it was claimed the erection of the eX-
ira shedding would spoil the dock as
the open space was needed for dis
charging lumber.
There's a Reason.
According to the talk that is going
the rounds Of the waterfront at the
present time, there was a reason for
Captain Piltz suddenly taking the
command of the little schooner Luka
and sailing to the South Sea Islands
with Father Rougier.
The rumor now is that Father Rou'
gier contemplates trading between
Tanning, Midway and Guam, The
reason for the last named port being
included is that according to the pres
ent estimate there is no regular Vesse
trading to Guam ana there is plent!
of business to be picked up there.
No one seems TO know where tn
rumor sprang from but at the sam'
time it is getting very persistent.
RICHARDS STREET WHARF.
Work on the Richards street wharf
is nearing completion and all that re
remains for the contractors to do at
the present time is to finish off the
balcony and erect the necessary oil
fees.
A great deal of ohia has been useo
in the construction of the shed anc
when finished it will represent IN
marked degree what can be done witt
local timbers.
The blocking on the ground floor II
made of ohia while the balcony II
planked with the same wood. The
staircase is also built out of this
tough wood. 1t is thought that th'
end of this month will see the worl
finished
