About nupepa

Just another place that posts random articles from the Hawaiian Newspapers! It would be awesome if this should become a space where open discussions happen on all topics written about in those papers!! And please note that these are definitely not polished translations, but are just drafts!!! [This blog is not affiliated with any organization and receives no funding.

Naniloa Hotel to be sold? 1945.

[Found under: “NA MEAHOU O KE AO NEI”]

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.

Arrived Here in Hilo

Last week, a youth from the Kanilehua rains arrived, that being George Kainapau to Hilo nei, to spend some days here in the land of his birth, and in the afternoon of the following Monday he left for Honolulu.

This was not a child coming home to visit his parents living there, for they passed away many years ago, and their children are who remain.

When we saw that youth, we recalled our first choir leader, Harry Naope, because this youth, George Kainapau was one of the members of the Haili choir in 1927.

He is a youngster with a very good voice for singing. His voice is like the voice of a woman singing. Continue reading →

Naniloa Hotel

In the evening of this past Saturday, the New Hotel of Hilo nei, the “Naniloa Hotel” [Hokele Naniloa] opened officially. During that time, the musical group of Ray Kinney performed the music for the opening. Something great in that performance of music to dedicate and entertain, was the singing of the mele that was composed for the hotel. Mrs. Eliza K. Osorio was the one who performed the song with her singers. Continue reading →

SHERIFF SAMUEL K. PUA, THE FAMED DETECTIVE OF THE ISLAND OF KEAWE

HIS AMAZING WORK OVER THESE PAST YEARS

HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE A “PROUD LEI FOR THE PEOPLE TO WEAR FOR ALL TIMES.”

[This is the headline to an in-depth three-page story complete with pictures of the detective work of Sam K. Pua (10/27/1867–8/1/1932), as appears in the final issue of Hoku o Hawaii for 1914! I have yet to come across another story given that much coverage in one issue of a newspaper.

The issues of Hoku o Hawaii before 5/31/1917 are as of yet not available online.]
