The Honokaa Plantation

To TIE ElitOr Of the Pacific Commercial advertiser :
SIR.-The manufacture Of sugar has proved n sue
cess, as far as the quality Of the cane is concerned,
etc, despite The utter impossibiliiies - which some
people have surmised in regard to water, etc: from
the immense yield Of cane ON the land il has been
and will be an inducement to other parties to think
about erecting mills and commencing an industry in
Hamakua which I believe will meet with every sue
cess. Numerous sites exist where sufficient water is
attainable for the use Of mills and plantations.
The only drawback TO such an enterprise is and
possibly would be, parties to erect such mills 10
whom planters and people interested In such a work
could place sufficient confidence to induce them plant
cane.
The present mill owners here have not the conf
dence of the planters; hence their determination not
to plant cane for the present mill. Neither win they
enter into any contract with the present owners
regarding the cane now growing and owled by them.
The planters have over 100 acres Of cane, and will
commence planting again in January next. providing
another mill is erected by another party or parties.
l have heard the planters remark that q quantity
of cane would have been planted by recent residents
if the prospects for a mill were satisfactory, but they
are not as far as the present owners are concerned.
But it is needless for a stranger TO give q history or
account Of the present mill, etc. as I suppose every
planter, mill-owner and others know its worth for
the manufacture of sugar TO the satifaction Of depen-
dent planters. Ia q rr e
There is an opening second to none for the erecton
Of q good mill, and the planters are open 10 make
arrangements with a reliable party or parties, to The
complete satisfaction Of both mill-oWner and planter.

Mr.. EDITOR In a late issue Of your paper / OBJ
served, under the head of "By Authority that
Gen. e. NJ. MeCook had received the decoration of
the Order of Kamehameha. This person, I suppose,
is the Gen. McCook who in 1866 or 1866 filed the
position Of American Minister Resident at these ISL
ands. 1 would like to inquire as to the nature of
the " distinguished services to the people or gov
eminent of Hawaii which has resulted in the confer
ring Of the honor of q decoration. Was it for writing
''Tropic Life in the Pacific which so delighted US all
when il came out in the Overland? Or is it a recog-
milton of his efforts to prevent our getting reciprocity
in the years named? Possibly the latter, the few
paltry thousands Of dollars contributed from here
(though advanced for the opposite purpose) and
which fell to his share, being long since d~issipated.
But am really curious to know on what grounds

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1875-10-30

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SrR.-As a resident of the Hawaiian Islands / am
simply ashamed to let such q communication as
appeared in the ADVERTISER of October 23d, relating
to the Islander, and signed X go unanswered.
I like to see a thing criticised, lift can be done fairly,
whether it be a newspaper, a government, or a man,
but g criticism so unjust on the face of it as that Of
*" makes me blush for the man who wrote it. In
the first place he takes one number Of q paper which
has been issued every week for eight months, as an
example Of what that paper has done during all that
time, which thing Of itself is enough to make honest
men put his criticism down at once as Of no account
whatever. He criticises it as a :" weekly journal de-
voted to Hawaiian interests +" when in number 90 he
finds g only two columns" devoted to that sabiect.
May l ask what he means by Hawaiian interestsr
Is it possible that the mind Of this critic is so narrow
as not TO comprehend that everything relating to
civilization, education, art, is for the highest interest
of Hawaii mel? And if he will take the trouble to
look over other numbers Of the paper be will find
many columns bearing directly On the sugar growing
interests of the country, the importation o.. laborers,
the building Of a steamer for inter-island navigation,
the making and repairing of roads, planting Of trees,
and building of fences, the water works Of the city,
the Judicial and commercial interests, and other like
subjects which perhaps, even a mind constituted like
his might see at q glance bore directly on Hawaiian
interests. He criticises filing up the paper with
IS articles from foreign publications" recall just
now only two which were as he says, "aproIos Of
anything on the Islands" One was q charming
selection from George Mcdonald relating to a chime
of bells, a subject which is just now engaging the
