O ka loku hala ole
A ka ua i Maili,
Ili hewa ka manao ia nei,
Ka waiho la i ka lai.
Chorus: O oe kai hui iho la,
Ka manao e puapuai la,
Ei ae o Puu-o-Hulu,
Hului no au, ua hiki no.
Nau i lahui i ka leo,
Ike i ka makani Kaieulu [Kaiaulu],
Ka makani o ka aina,
Ilaila hoola’i na manu.
[Here is another interesting mele found in a nice description of an excursion aboard the train Kaala to the newly-opened Haleiwa Hotel. It is added into the narrative by the writer as he describes passing by Puuohulu. This inserting of mele into prose is something found often in Hawaiian writing. This composition seems very reminiscent of another perhaps more famous mele still sung today.]

When considering how we Hawaiians are being supplied with poi, there is not the slightest indication that the cost of our staple food will decrease, and it is also very clear that if what has happened in the past years continues on into the upcoming years, and we continue relying on the Chinese for our supply, it is obvious that the price of poi will shoot up, and we will not be able to eat poi.
As a result of the increase in the price of rice, the former taro lands are being planted with rice, and should the rice market continue to be favorable, then a majority of the Chinese will abandon taro and become rice farmers, then, the cost of kalo will skyrocket, and as a result, so too will the price of poi.
Therefore, in our opinion, Hawaiians should start farming kalo, and obtain its benefits; looking at the land situation these days, it is very clear that the price of poi will continue to rise for long into the future; and the Hawaiians or others perhaps who continue this occupation will not fail to reap its benefits.
That man will make himself prosper and he will supply those who are lacking poi at a fair price, and so we say, O Hawaiian people, go into the occupation of kalo farming, and there shall be many blessings.
[While rice is no longer being planted here, perhaps in its place are being planted buildings. What is there to be done today?]

As long as Minister Damon [Damana] has been in possession of Moanalua, his desire to beautify, ornament, and to clean up the area has been increasing.
He is planting roses and vines of all sorts and these are growing and increasing inside and outside of the glass houses with their blossoming fragrant blossoms.
There are many people constructing new roads; one will be for the island which will be close to the house and one will go up to Alia Paakai.
Its beauty is intensifying every day. Mr. Damon will continue to bring in plants and fruits from other lands to adorn this Home of his, and it will please the eyes of those who visit.

There was a truly great number of people who arrived in Moanalua, on the evening of last Saturday, to share in the delightful welcome extended by Minister Damon and Mrs. S. M. Damon. Some came by train, some came up by horse-drawn carriage. The reception began from 3 o’clock in the afternoon until 6 o’clock or so.
This was an unforgettable gathering to all who assembled there.

We received a letter from D. W. Kaiue of Waialua, Molokai, written on the 3rd of Feb. telling of the great tsunami [kaikoo] at Molokai. And these are his words:
“This Tuesday, the 28th of this past January. A high tide began in Kona, Molokai. This is the first time such big waves were seen here; the kamaaina said that they had never seen such a big tsunami [kaikoo] like this before. The fishponds were destroyed, and the road at Keanoaio at Kumimi are ruined. The homes of Timoteo in Halawa were inundated, and the lanai was wrecked, on the night of the 29th; it was indeed a huge kaikoo, and a strong Earthquake at daybreak; the ground and homes shook for perhaps five Seconds. Those inside sleeping were awakened. The working of the Highest God is amazing.”
[See the comment by Gerard Fryer in response to the earlier post on this same natural disaster (as well as all the other uploaded related articles). The Hawaiian-Language Newspapers need to be studied for information in all fields of knowledge! …And again, in order for all the information from those newspapers to be read and understood, they need to be rescanned clearly before they disintegrate from the acids within the paper itself.]

Kumaka ka ikena ia Hiilawe,

No Puna ke ala haliia mai,
Noho i ka wai-lele o Hiilawe,

Mai poina oe i kuu aloha.
