Trade with salt Lake.

Among the passengers by the u. e. Murray

the Mormon Colony ut Laic ON this island. who
has gone To Salt lake city for the purpose Of per

We have before urged the opening Of this
trade, which i intended u supply the whole
population Of Salt Lake valley, numbering not
lar from 100000, and are glad to hear that il i
to be tested OF its practicability We have not

offer to take -four from Sacramento TO Ogden

same rate will probably Dc fixed for sugar. The

The salt Lake merchants have heretofore been

transportation by river and railroad from New

it is from Honolulu to salt Lake, n given above.

in our favor. If the numerous incidental expenses

While eonyersing with the proprietor IF the
Laie Sugar Plantation, a few DAYS since. reatrd-
ing the management Of that estate. we learned
some facts which were new to us ard will interest
our readers. The plantation has been carried ON
thus far, and a crop Of one hundred and twenty
five tons of sugar taken off. without a written
contract having been entered into with n single
hborcr, although at times from fifty 70 sixty
hands have been in employ, though the average
number IL only about thirty. Not only have
those employed been faithful and diligent. but
new applicants have frequently Leen refused
work. This is far from the experience of most of
our planters, who complain Of a scarcity Of la
bOrers.
Ihe manager of this plantation thinks that
when laborers are dealt fairly with. and treated
IL men, not only II there no need of other than
verbal contracts, but the labOrers work more
faithfully while serving, a. it were, ON their
h"nOr. Ihe natives about Laie, who have been
growing cane on shares. have been - well salts
he'd with the result of their work, that where one
acre was planted. in 1868, four are planted this
year. The first years experience ON this planta-
ton Is certainly interesting, even if it be an
exception to the general rule, and impracticable
IN other localities.
Another interesting fact we learned was. that
the plantation has paid it, way from the start,
leaving a surplus Of over seven thousand dollars,
after taking off the first crop of one hundred and
twenty-five tons. The mill and machinery are
to take off perhaps two hundred and
iity tons. Mule power is used, and if n larger
than this is grown, steam power will have to

Here IL an example Of a small plantation,
iarted with limited means, paying it, way from

I our sugar estates are started ON altogether too

Harvard is to send over her four best rowers,
waters, and during the summer the race will come
off. 1t is needless to say that great interest will
be excited in this international contest, and prob
ably both parties are equally sanguine of success.
The Harvards will require the exercise of unusual
GOODNESS and nerve, for under the circumstances of
being contestants on a foreign soil and with foreign
spectators, there is fear that they will give way
TO excitement. However, the contest is one of
their own seeking. they must look to their laurels.
Emulating their brethren at home, our young

s,JaDnncsc ImiErants-

Among several unusually interesting articles
onSour last page, will be found one from the AHd,
detailing an emigration enterprise from japan
which Possesses interest at this time. Here we
find n colony of l2O japanese families, number
ing about four hundred persons. migrating to
California for the purpose of permanent settle
ment, most of whom belong to the agricultural
class. That they should select California TO these
islands is probably owing solely to the fact that
that country is better known to the japanese.
And yet these islands are needing population
much more than that country. With proper
efforts on the past Of our authorities, 10 make
known the wants and wishes of the nation, by
sending abroad notices encouraging immigration,
there can be no doubt, we should in time receive
accessions to our population. There are thou
sands of acres of government lands on each of
the islands, but more especially ON Hawaii, which
might be given to actual settlers, or perhaps leas-
cd at 4 nominal rental for five or ten years to i'm
migrants who will settle ON and cultivate them.
The japanese referred to intend to cultivate the
tea plant, grow mulberry trees and engage in the
silk business and where, let us ask, is there 4
country in the world that offers finer inducements
Tor this branch of industry than Hawaii?
Nearly every paper we take up refers to the
crowds of emigrants from northern and central
crossing over to America, and scattering
over her western prairies and mountains. With
proper inducement many of these would come
here and locate ON our waste lands, and would do
rs well if not better here than in America. in
vineyards and making wine. 1t needs \
the life and yigOr of fresh foreign blood infused
INTO our dying population TO stay the decrease
now SO rapidly going ON, and which, unless some
hing be done, must soon result In extinguishing
he Hawaiian nationality.
