That oldtime kamaaina is no more.–The wholesale liquor store of Kapena Loke [Godfrey Rose] that was known to the old folks by the name of “Hale o Mikapalani,” [House of Mr. William French] was raised and in its place will be built a fine stone structure. The year that the house was built is not clearly known; but an oldtime haole kamaaina said that when he arrived in 1838, it was standing; but that oldtime kamaaina has gone.
