north arm of. tho flow as bad as tho
south arm, but the traveler In tho
oppcslto direction deems It tho worst.
Tho explanation probably Is that be
tween tho nnns is n depression, so
thnt, which ever way tho traveler
goes, he takes w-Rat Is, to him, tho
Inst part, up-hill. This arm Is about
twn miles' wldo; then comes a
stretch a little better of about an
other two miles, nnd then the south
arm of the flow nbout a mile wide.
Hut theso distinctions are merely
matters ot Information. So far as
tho automoblllBt is concerned, tho
whole eight miles Is abominable.
When tho north arm of the flow was
passed, the worst wns thought to be
over. Th, road was loose rubble,
certainly, but no difficulty was ex
perienced In Retting through It, al
though It had to be taken on tho low
gear. Hut nt the last mile ot the
1907 flow, the southern arm, all for
mer experiences of bad road (except
tho stretch out ot Walmea) faded
Into Insignificance.
It has been surveyed nnd filled In,
but thnt Is nil. The grades are nu
merous nnd steep. ,
Lava-Flow Road
Imagine a road before It has a top
dressing, the macadam lying loosely
for a dopth of nbout n foot or more.
Then remember theso small rocks
have no weight, but are light and
brittle, nnd have numerous sharp,
knlfellke edges. The wheels sink
into this rubble for n dlstanco of five
or six Inches, so that only on down
grades can tho car travel on tho
high gear. Hut even then one hesi
tates. When the rate of speed Is at
nil fast, tho car swings from side to
side of the road, coming perilously
near the edgtv which has been built
up for nbout. .twenty or thirty feet.
At Intervals of about every hundred
yards tho car(has to mount a steep,
sharp lncllnc,(nnd go down tho other
slope. Th 9 car goes up In spurts',
nnd every few minutes one fully ex
pects the engine to bo killed even
though travcline'on the low gear.
Tho looso, ljght stones offer no re
sistance to the rapidly revolving
hind wheels. , Tho rubble Is whirled
out from under them, till In tho na- I
tare of things tho wheel strikes
something solid at Inst nnd jumps ,
forward two or thrco feet at a Jump. '
It lands on another loose spot, and
the performance begins all over i

tho rest of our life was to be passed
In tolling across lava flows. i.Tho
constant grades made It seem neces

navigated tho car. About S o'clock
wo began to feel some anxiety about
reaching our destination before dark.
Nobody had been able to Inform us
definitely as to what the dlstanco
from the end ot tho flow to Walohlnu
(our destination for tho night) was.
It might have been one mile or It
might hnvo been thirty. At length
after traveling ten miles from the
gate on the north side of Kahuku
ranch, we camo to n place where the
road, such as It was, led Into a field,
with marks of travel across It. Un
der ordinary circumstances, one
would be tempted to decline to crots
It.Jn an automobile, and turn around
an'd go home. Hut after our recent

Hut after halt a mile we came to
an Ideal road, smooth and hard, and
as straight ns a stretched string, for
over two miles, when we came to an
other gate, the southern boundary of
Knhuku ranch, and thirteen miles
from the northern Kate. We sped
over the road at full speed, and 'In
a few minutes saw a house and a
man tho first we had seen since
leaving Papa. We wero by, no means
persuaded we had crossed all the
lava flows, another matter of Indefi
nite Information. Some said there
were three, others five; but let the
fact bo known that for all practical
purposes thcro Is only one Btretch ot
bad road. It you attempt tho trip, so
long as you can say you have never
ridden on a worse road, you can be
pure you are not across the flows, for
no bettor road exists than that beyond
them, and no worse than that across
and between them. '
When wo came up with tho man
mentioned, our first Inqulr) was as
to whether or not wo had to cross any
more lava flows, and our relict can be

The road Is poor, only becauso tho

comparlscn. At Pahala a stranger
has to enquire his way. Thore Is a
cross road, the continuation of the
road being followed, having a gate
across It. To reach the Volcano House
ono must go through tho gato. Then
another climb" follows over a sandy
road. This is not bad, but we found It
necessary to removo tho treads to
make any speed. But after four miles
tho road gets huid and smooth again,
nnd Is excellent for fifteen or sixteen
miles till within four miles of the
Volcano House, tho road gets sandier
and sandier. A slight downward grade
lured us Into going at a pretty good
clip. Suddenly tho road, turned to the
right and all unproparad, wo rushed
forward Into a veritable sea of sand
and hummocks. Interspersed with
locks. Tho car could not be stopped
in time, and bounded at least threo

Pointers for Other
For tho benefit of anyone, about to
take tho trip, I will summarize a few
points that will be of, groat 'benefit
It Should not bo undertaken by a car
with ia clearance ot less than nine
Inches. Also It would , be somewhat
rislfy to drive a chain driven car
throunh tbe young trees Just betoro
reaching the lava flows. .The young
plants would undoubtedly get' badly
entangled In tho chain, and probably
cause It to break. '
Procuro Wood worth treads for tho
hind wheels, the' front gnes will got
along without any protection. Do not
put tho treads on tlll'the Uva flow Is
reached, and remove them al'lho first
opportunity after crossing the flow.
' Be sure tho high gear, Clutch Is
lighter than usual, on arcotirit ot the
slipping of the hind tires In the sand.
As soon as any defective action ot
the motor is noticed, try Riving the
carburettor more air, the air Is rarer
at 2700 feet than at the sea level.
Take a-rcscrve supply.of water, and
n gallon demlfohn- ought to hold
enough for most cars.
Gasolene .can bo easily procured at
any time at Hackteld i'Co.i at Kallua.
Arrnngements'should bo made before
hand, however, foe n sunnly at Walo
hlnu, as It has to bq procured from
iliio. and it is only Kent by Mr. Becker
for his personal use.
Attraction for -Tourists
Now In regard to the second reason
causing me to describo this trip. Here
Is an attraction for tourists 'that can
not be excelled, and which only needs
a tow thousand dollars lo perfect. Out
of all tho dlstanco wq traveled (IBS
miles) only twenty-four miles aro bad.
Thero Is some excuso for tho condi
tion of tho road across tho lava flows
tout nll.U needs Is a top,drosslng)
but there Is no excuso for the twelve
miles out of Walmea. Some' Individ,
uals should blush, for shame at tho
condition of this road. Not alono
would Hawaii county bo bonbfltted by
good road from iWaimca to the Vol
cano. Houbo, but the wholo Territory
would profit. An Ideal trlp.for a short
holiday would ,be offered, to', q very In
habitant In tho group, 'and .it ipropcrly
oovcnisca wouia do as Birong an in
centive to tourist travel as. anybody
could ask for. All this over and aboVo
the duty of tho Government to provido
fair roads. '

Volcano
Route - Where To Get
The trip affords an admirable addi
tion to seeing tho Volcano In action.
Thore one sees an example of a benig
nant Volcano, which neither erupts
nor ejects lava! but which offers a
spectacle of grandeur and awe, little
realized by even residents In Honolulu.
A proof of this latter statement Is
iound In tho fact that many residents
of Honolulu,, who could afford both
tho time and "tfio money, have never
visited tho Volcano.
To reach the Volcano' through Kona
nnd Kau gives and added charm aifd
unity to the trip.
In theso districts ono sees tho work
of another crater, Mokuawcoweo,
which ejects at Intervals vast quanti
ties ot lava. In Kona the lava Is most
ly of tho smooth surfaced variety
(pahoehoc), the varied and fantastic
forms It has assumed In cooling fasci
nates the traveler as ho passes over
It (or sovcrat miles. Then too, tho
road (or forty or fifty miles winds
through forests of Ohla nnd other
trees. Hero are somo ot thojircttlest
bits ot woodland scenery to bo found
anywhere. One scorns to look out, nt
every turn ot the winding road, for a
beautiful manrlon. In keeping with
what appears to be a well kept de
mesne. In addition to theso. charms,
the road Is at an elevation of two or
thrco thousand feet, affording a vlow
of the country'.for miles -.around.
There-Is the distant horizon, rising up
wards like lho od go of a bowl: tho
vlllagos on tho shore; tho bright green
of cultivated land; and the' Blopcs of
Maunn Loa itself, along which tho road
winds Its. devious way.
In Kau, ono sees tho other form ot
lava (aa), tho loose piled up rocks,
which havo been heated till thjpy aro
porous and brittle, forming tracts of
looso rubble, , somo hundred feet or
more high. Tho bleak desolation has
Its fascination, and ono can sco far
up on the mountain side Innumerable
black streaks, some two and thrco
miles wide,. Indicating tho presenco ot
many previous Invasions of lava from
Mokuawcoweo.
Taking all theso attractions Into
consideration the trip Is well worth
taking even under the present condi
tions. But when It Is considered that
onlytwentymlles or so need Improv
ing, to offer one Of the finest highways,
tor automoblllng, that anyone could
ask. for, It Impresses .one with tho
Idea that thore Is culpablo negligence
Loniowhore. A failure to develop thn
natural rosourrcs'of a country, eager
to bo known' as the greatest plcasuro
resort In the Pacific.
