THE PAGES OF THE NEWSPAPER TO BE CUT.
Because the paper coming into this office these days is a fraction, as well as the type setting boy of the Kuokoa cannot adequately fill the usual eight pages of the newspaper every week, being that the other type setters are busy with a lot of other jobs, so he has no help. It has been decided for now to cut down the paper to six pages.
While this decrease of the Kuokoa to six pages is expected not to be for a long time, but when we see that the path is clear to return the newspaper to its regular size, we will let the public know.

One day last week, some chauffeurs of the car company of Hilo went around to see and perhaps to understand the storied places of the great land of Keawe. When they go with foreign customers, they will know these places so they can talk about them to the visitors when they go visiting the Kona districts and other places.

King Kalakaua Gave His Support to Educate His Lahui
While King Kalakaua was upon the throne, as a result of him speaking with his Cabinet, and also approved by the Legislature of 1882 or 1883, there were many Hawaiians who were sent to far away lands in seek of education. It feels like it happened between the years 1883 and 1884. Some of these boys went at the government’s expense, and some under the expense of the Father Missionaries.
1. Robert W. Wilcox and Robert N. Boyd, were sent to military school in Italy.
2. Matthew Makalua and Piianaia, were sent to Oxford in England, to medical school. Piianaia did not graduate, but Makaula did graduate and became a very great doctor in England. He married a woman and he had a number of children. He is dead now. He did not return to Hawaii.
