HILO'S WHARF USED
TO PUSH THE RAILROAD
Gradually tbo uao of tbo wharf
on tho other eido of Hilo bay is
becoming apparent Bays the Ha
waii Herald. Tho Kilauon Hon
was tho first stotmor to make nay
practical ueo of it when she dis
' chargod n cargo there some
month ago. Thon the Kiaau nsed

Bat whon tho Kiuau tiod up to
the wharf tho public bolievod its
uaos would bo limited to tho ial
nnd steoraerd or smnll 'ailing craft;
a sailing vessel from San Fran-
(cisca would hardly take tho
'chances of dunig until a broak
water was constructed by tbo gov
ernment. Onco again thi public
was mistaken for the barkontiue
Unole John now lie nt tho wharf
and is discharging a cargo of lum
ber for H. Hnckfold & Co., the
first basinoas firm t? uao tho new
boat lauding manka of the ship's
wharf. There aro iu the harbor
for this firm three lumber voasels
and in order to test tbo coat of dis
charging lumber at the wharf tho
captain of tho Uncle John was
persuaded to tio up to tho struc
ture. So far the experiment has
beon entirely satisfactory for,
though the barkentioe rolls a lit
tio with tho swell, the work of
discharging is being quickly dono
and the lumber is placed in Hack
fold's vnrd in an oxcollent condi
lion freo from wet and sand and
at tho samo coat us if dono by
rafting from the vessel to tho
shoro.
Hackfeld & Co. are well satis-
fied with their experiment in dis
charging tho Uncle John at the

tossoIb in their lino will bo dis
Tchargod iu tho earn? way whon
i tho weather is satisfactory. In
rough or even slightly rough
weather tho wharf would bo use

"In all communities tho sizo of
