Here is a small makana to everyone who checks in on this blog every once in a while. Just like last year, this is a calendar fashioned after one given by the newspaper Aloha Aina in 1906 to its subscribers. Click on the image and download the pdf file. You should be able to enlarge it to print even on poster-size paper if you want. Feel free to make copies and give it out to anyone you think will appreciate it!
Misconstrued
It was announced by a newspaper in Honolulu that the Naniloa Hotel was just sold off for a sum of $300,000, being bought by someone from Honolulu that has not been named.
When W. D. Childs heard of this news, he said that it was not true. The hotel remains under their control, and it is true that a person from Honolulu wanted to arrange a purchase of the hotel, but those negotiations did not work out.
Therefore, the news in the Honolulu paper about the selling of the Naniloa Hotel was misguided.
