Ke Au Hou, 1910.
[Found under: “Nuhou Kuloko”]
On this Saturday, that being tomorrow, appearing will be the newspaper that is bound as a book, Ke Au Hou, from the printing office of the Hawai Shinpo, and not on Wednesday as was said earlier.
[This is not the Ke Au Hou that was published in 1896 and edited by T. P. Spencer. This is the weekly Ke Au Hou owned and edited by John H. Wise, that runs from 5/4/1910 to 2/28/1912.]

Lunar Eclipse, 1834.
Pertaining to the darkening of the moon.
In the month of December, on the 15th and into the night, the moon will be dark [pouli ka mahina], but it will not be a fully darkened; it will just be lopsided. Two-thirds of the moon will disappear, then it will reappear, and then come out totally. This is when it will occur.

Salt.
O Hae Hawaii,
Aloha oe:–Please spread the word about this new thing at Ukumehame, that being Salt. This Salt is in the uplands of Papalaau; it is among the high cliffs, as if man gathered it in heaps.
The nature of this Salt: it is hard and expansive like the Salt of Alia at Moanalua on Oahu. The reason that this Salt spread among the cliffs is from water that trickled over the rocks and dirt and became salt.

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.

This sounds like a fun project.
Salt from Halekou, Kaneohe, 1890.
SALT FOR SALE.
Here at Halekou, Kaneohe, Koolaupoko, is very nice salt for sale to anyone who wants to buy. Consultation is pleasant, and prices are reasonable, whether it be for a bag, or two, or more, or a ton. I can be found at Halekou, Kaneohe, Koolaupoko, or if not me, my wife.

Salt from Kealia, Maui, 1856.
PERTAINING TO SALT AT KEALIA IN MAUI.
I want to tell you about the abundance of salt at Kealia here in Maui.
This year, the salt here in Kealia is very good; and there is a lot.
There has not been a year like this one where there has been so much salt, and so fine; and it appears these days when looking at the salt like there are 4,000 tents in Kealia.

[Found under: “NU HOU HAWAII”]
The first of this month [December] was a “Kiulaia” [Holiday] for the Portuguese, that being the day commemorating the recognition of their independence from Spain. From 9 o’clock in the morning, a great mass was held in the Catholic church Malieokamalu.[Maliaokamalu / Our Lady of Peace].
[Kiulaia seems to be interchangeable with Kulaia, but for some reason, Kiulaia is often found in quotes as seen in this article.]
