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.

Help Local Businesses.
Rebuilt was Love’s Bakery, located at Pauahi and Nuuanu Streets. They have new cracker making machines, and they are baking soft soda crackers and saloon pilot crackers. These are better than the crackers from other lands. Hawaiians should buy items made locally.

Salt from Puuloa.
From old times, Hawaiians knew how to make salt. It was used to season food and to trade with, and yet the salt from Hawaii was not very good. Beef or pork salted with this salt was not so good. If it was left for a while, it would rot. Now however, the salt made at Puuloa is very good; the bitter contents are removed, and they have a mill that grinds it like flour, and like salt from foreign lands. Therefore, the salt from Puuloa is under great demand; it is exported and the land profits.

The Business of Raising and Selling Frogs.
Representative Andrade said he will build a frog breeding grounds in some of his taro patches at Manoa, And according to him, the requests for frog legs for eating in this town is increasing. Currently, Hilo is where frog is eaten a lot, and when Honolulu people see the progress of those in this business, they will think of building a place to raise those animals.
Mr. Andrade believes that profits from this business will grow and he will start this venture in Manoa, and according to him, it will not be long for Honolulu people to wait before they will see his juicy frog on tables at restaurants in town.

A Large Pamuela
Off the island of Lanai this past Tuesday, the whaling ship Triton caught a whale called a Pamuela [sperm whale], and the value of the boiled down 100 barrels of oil is a blessing for the seafaring boys. The oil from this kind of fish is one of the best, and it fetches a high price. Its oil is not like that of the other whales of the sea. The number of barrels are but a few, but the $7,500 gain is great. They return weighted down, their pockets rustling.
