Judging from tho remarks of
Hilo papprs aud peoplo thero are
wharves and whnrves; structures
that run out into tho wntor and
an- useful to business interests,nnd
b collection of piles and planka
that me up monoy and offor no
pitticiilar bonelits to a long suf
fering public. Frojn all accounts
the now Hilo wharf comes under
the latter hoadiug. Of course
Hilo Iihb tho namo of being hard
to satisfy, but tho ontire aggrega
tion of tax payors has an intorest
in seeing to it that whon public
mouey is expendod it shall bo with
an eye to the future, and that
future is, in thw particular case,
that Hilo shall havo wharf fncili
ties that will accommodate sea
going ships not whalo boats.
Every dollar that is speut on
Hilo harbor iinprovoment that
has uot this end in view is juat
so much monoy wasted, aud whon
Hilo gets tho wharfage in wants,
as it eventually will, the make
shift structures will simply stand
as a monument of unnecessary
mistakes. '

The previously published state
msut, that two Chicago men clear
ed S1G.000 inside of threo mouths
by a deal in govornracnt land,
proves to bo a fiction.
Tho building of both dwelling
houses and places of business is
fully as active now as at any time
in Hilo's modern growth, showing
both a considerable influx of pop
ulation and much business act
ivity. Tho marriago of Miss Lizzie
Cunu'mghain and Dr. H. B. El

Washington's birthday.
Tho schooner La tfinfu cleared
for Honolulu on Friday. It iH
not known whether sho will bo

coast.
A traveling man reports the
dtyest woathor from Hnmakua,

that ho ha over experienced Not
one occasion for using an oil coat

One lot of twenty acres in Kau
maua, suitable for tho growth of
sugar, was sold this wooli to It. 1
Forrest, for S1000. A considorahlo
amount of laud iu Eaumnua is bo-
ing devoted to oano, which will bo
ilumed down to YVainuku.
There is a in ivement on font to
have a man appointed by tho Gov
ernment to bo permanently on to
look after whatovor blights and
pests may appear, and to work
generally for tho iutorests of the
plantors and farmers iu tbo lino
of work of which Professor Koe
belo has chargo.
Prof. Koobelo roports that tho
damago said to have been dono by
the cano-borer at Ouomea has
been exaggerated. Very littlo re
sult of work has been perceived
on the part of this pest. The bad
appearance of cortaiu fields results
from other causos which will be

by the Oregon, Iowa and tho rest
of the Bquadron that had stopped

From Punta Arouas, tho
Iris and Scindia went to
Lotn, Chile, for cotl. Tho
remainder of the squadron pro
ceeded to Valparaiso and then to
Callno, where tho Iris wniored tho
Iowa. Threo days after leaving
the lntter port the Iowa and tho
rofrigorator ship Coltic left the
squndrou and proceeded to Snn
Francisco. Tho Celtic ran ont of
moat and returned to tho port
mentioood for a now supply. She
is expected hero before loug, on
hpr way to Manila Tho Celtic
hnd 7000 carcHsecs aboard whon
Bbe left New York.
The Iris sailed from Galapagos
for Honolulu as already given

Tho function of tho Iris is to
furuish water to war vessels iu
the fcqna'lron sho accompanies.
This muked the Government in
dependent of pooplo at different
ports who sometimes nBk exorbi
tant prices for a sufficient supply
to ships.
Tho plant aboard the Iris is
com pns A of twelve evaporators,
six on tho starboard and six on
tho port side. These constitute
four sets of three evaporators oach.
The steam from tho ships' boilcrj
passes through tbo pipes to ono of
tho evaporators of each set through
tubps which aro surrounded by
salt wider. This water evaporates,
tho steam passinc through tho
second evoporator of each sot,
converting tho salt wator there
Intostoam aud producing steam in
what is kuown as tho third effect
This goes into a condenser and is
converted iuto fresh water, which
ib either pumped into storazo
tanks or directly aboard a ship
taking water. Besides supplying
water tho Iris koeps oil aboard for
Uncle Sara's ships.
Tho Iris is capable of producing
75,000 gallons of fresh water per

muob credit for bringing the Iris

goes to press, she is boinp; towod
in hy tho U S Tugboat Iroquois
