Hepyy Travel on the Mauna Kea.
Over two hundred passengers from
Hawaii and Maui ports arrived at the
port IN the Inter-Island steamer Ma
una Kea. Purser Phillips found much
TO do In the disposition of the large
COMPANY of travellers. The Regatta
Day sports at the capital city proved
strong magnet for residents of the
neighboring islands.
The Mauna Kea brought rather
small amount of freight, including
quantity Of enpties, 81 sacks com, 20
crates cabbage, auto and 200 pack
ages sundries.
The Mauna Kea was favored with
light trade winds and smooth seas on
the honeward voyage Purser Phil
lips reports the steamer Kauai at
HIlo. the Kaiulani at Papaaloa, and
the KflAnea calling at the windward
ports The American schooner e. K.
Wood was dischafging 4 shipment OF
S0uhd lumber during the stay Of the
Mauna .Kea at HiIo,

stsah1er with the beginning of the
new sugar season. The Inter-Island
steamer Keauhou. which has been,
laid up at the port of Honolulu for
q number OF months, is expected viii
BE- ovefhauled and placed in commits
sion again. Hilo business interests
lave been led to believe that the
Keauhou viii be operated between
the Hawaii metropolis and the ports
along the Kona coast. 1t is stated
that the Keauiou will not only do q
freight business but also will have &C.
communication for a limited number of
passengers which should mean that it
win be q great deal easier for Kona
people to reach Hilo than 1t has been
in the past. She may also be used to
some extent by travelling men who
make the trip around the island.

Big Timber for Rreakwater.
Some very large timbers have been
discharged from the American
schooner e. X. Wood now at the port
OF Hilo. The material is intended
for the breakwater and comes con-
signed to the Philadelphia Break
water Company. The schooner Wood
Is expected to be ready for return to
Puget Sound Sunday. When the fact
is considered that 1t is the first cargo
which has been handled at this point
the time taken for discharging, two
weeks. is extremely creditable. The
Wood brought down some very large
sticks OF lumber, among these being
some 20 by % sticks from sixty to
eighty feet in length, to be used as
derrick poles IN the big construction
work She had total of 100000 feet
OF lumber.
