WAIKIKI BEACHES ARE BEING SPOILED.
Hundreds of Tons of Sand Taken at Diamond Head said to Affect the Beach Nearer Town.

Is Honolulu's famous beach for bathing and surf-riding at Waikiki being reduced by the taking of sand for build purposes?
Those who have watched the stretch of beach from Diamond Head towards Kokonko for a long time say that the sand has been appreciably
lowered, leaving the coral more bare than it was formerly and one theory Is that the carting of hundreds of loads of sand from some parts of the beach is responsible for the change.
The sand Is taken away from beyond where the bathing resorts are located but there is a tendency to equalize along the length of the beach.
A loss at one place ss levelled over by gradual reductions at other places, say those who have the kicks to make, and as hundreds of tons have been removed, the effect is beginning to be noticable.

There is plenty of splendid sand for building purposes all along the beach from Kokanko round Koko Head, but the places from which it is being taken are just this side of Diamond Head.
It is taken from private property and there Is no law to interfere with the removal of any amount.
The longer haul from Koko Head would be an added expense which the users of the sand do not want to pay, hence if the taking of sand is really doing harm to the places for bathing, public sentiment is the only thing that can stop it.
The bathing resorts at Waiklkl have made part of the fame of Honolulu, but some bathers have remarked lately that the sharp coral, which cuts the feet of those who step on it, appears to be more plentiful above the sand than formerly.

ROUGH SEA DRAWS CROWDS TO WAIKIKI.
The Experience of a Bather Who Says He Does Not Like the Booming Surf.

Surf-riding and bathing have been very popular during the past few days of rough weather, and Waikiki resorts have been well patronized by people who enjoy swimming or "riding" when good-sized breakers roll.
...
Those who like the bathing are having the time of their lives just now.
Last night the Waikiki Inn and the Annex had all their surf boats und boards out and many bathing suits were in use.
The surf Is breaking far out and white capped waves come rolling in with splendid effect.
It is a hot time for the bathers and they nre making the most of it while it lasts.

WILL ADVERTISE HONOLULU.

The Neill Company in a body made a tour of the government buildings in company with Frank Davey yesterday morning who made photographs of the group with varying backgrounds typical of Honolulu.
The inevitable picture in front of the Kamehameha statue was one of the subjects.
Several most effective pictures were taken which will serve the purpose of exploiting the Islands as well as the company as the series will be used by Mr. Nelll for advertising purposes.
The whole company are perpetual advance agents for Honolulu and its beauties at any time.
