and the owner OF large tracts of land there
which are quite suited to the cultivation OF
coffee, sends us a printed circular, in which he
proposes to from a company TO carry on the
business on an extended scale. The following is
the prospectus
Tae proposed si-c is located in the District OF
South kona, HaSEii. at a distance from the sea
coast of about four o. miles. and is of easy access
by road from the beach, off which at q quarter OF
a mile there IL good anchorage.
The land lies on a gentle incline, at an elevation
of from goo TO 1000 feet above the sea: the soil is
formed from the decomposition Of lava rock and
ashes, and vegetable matter, Is light and easily
worked, and is now covered by a growth of fern,
grass and vihes, with scattered kos, ohia, opiku
and other trees
1, is proposed 10 form a Company with a capital
of $4,000, TO be allotted in twenty-five shares Of
$1,000 each The owner Of the land Will give four
hundred (4o0) acres, which shall be valued at Si5
per acre, and shall entitle bin to six (6) shares, and
he shall be regarded as having fully paid up for The
said six shares.
i The management shall be 10 the hands of a Board
of Directors, TO be elected by the Shareholders.
As many thousands OF young plants, OF sufficient
size for transplantaiion, can now be bought at a low
figure In the district, 1t VIII be unnecessary TO form
any nursery, and a considerable saving of time will
thus be made in starting the enterprise;
1t is calculated that tue expenses of the first three
years would be as follows, viz:
Pay Of o2erseeT for three years at $1,000 per aannm.. 1900
Tp e 90
Si9,O coo
At the end of the second year there would be a
small yield, and at the end Ofthe third year the trees
would give a full crop.
The trees should be planted nearly eight (S) feet
apart, say 200 plants TO the acre, and should yield q
return Ofl0OO lbs. OF merchantable Coffee per annum
this at present prices (l9 cents per To- would be
worth $3.50 per acre, or for q Plantation of 100 acres
$4,000.
The expenses thereafter should not exceed per
annum, say:

l,eOO
$40. 500
Leaving a balance of 1920 per annum, or a little
over 30 per cent. on the paid. up capital.
The plantation might be extended TO $50 or 200
acres.

A Hint for a Pioneer Society.

Mr.. EDITOR SO near the close Of another year
thoughts will sometimes involuntarily revert to the
past, and in thus travelling backwards over the last
few years it must strike you as well as others, that
very many of the old familiar faces we were wont to
meet in our daily walks and sc near the corner D are
gone, and we shall see them no more. Very many,
perhaps most of them were of the earlier days and
their heads had grown grey during o long sojourn
on these islands. Most of them had come here dur
ing the days of Kaahumanu and Kauikeaouli, and
seen, and lived and had their being in q chrome
logical time which stands in the history Of Hawaii
nei as apart from the present as the middle ages
from the later centuries.
In other countries that have been settled during
the last century, it has been usual to form pioneer
societies and reunions in which the earlier settlers
and those who laid the first hands on the work Of
bringing a new country into the pale of civilization
and the family Of nations might meet each other
from time to time on their journey TO the end, ex-
change friendly greetings, renew old friendships and
have friendly chat about the sold lang syne," and
draw closer the lines Of good will and kindness. I
should think that some of our oldest and infu-
entail citizens might start such a society composed
of those who landed here, and made this country
their home during the reign, and before the death Of
Kamehameha III, to meet once every year or every
alternate year NWltn Nell mIIle y WltnOut) IOr
one or two days. TENDERS might pay an annual
contribution of four to five dollars to form O common
fund, under the supervision of presidents, secreta-
ries, treasurer. etc. Such reunions of old settlers
would not only prove pleasant episodes in their lives
but could be but of great advantage, We have his
tories of Hawaii, ~(perhaps morsrthan needed) but
there are doubtless incidents and phases in the
knowledge Of many Of the older settlers that would
be valuable matter for the future compiler of a
chronicle. Besides this the meeting of so large o
number of old and experienced citizens would give
fine opportunities to canvass measures of enterprise,
public benefit and cooperation, and best of all the
friendly meeting of citizens from Hawaii to Niihau
would unite all in closer bonds under the shadow of
love for q common country, and SOW the seed of a
more earnest patriotism than has as yet existed
Mr.. Editor, 1 lay this crude idea before you and
hope that you or some one else better able than my
self may give it further consideration.

The CULTIVATION of coffee, for which many loca-
lities in the Islands are admirably adapted, has
never been carried on to the extent which might
have been expected, when it is remembered that
the needed outlay for machinery and labor is
very much less than that required for the pro-
duction of either sugar or rice. One cause which
has undoubtedly operated as a serious drawback
to the extensive cultivation of coffee by foreigners
has been the blight, a species of aphis, which,
making its appearance in 1850, for nearly
twenty years continued to injure the trees and
diminish the production, but which is now less
prevalent than formerly, and, like that which
once almost ruined Ceylon's coffee production,
will probably disappear entirely. There are at
present no large plantations, but the district of
Kona, Hawaii-beyond question the best dis
trict on the islands for coffee-at q certain eleva-
ton above the sea, presents almost continuous
series ofsmall patches planted with coffee trees, from
the annual product of which with very little
labor the native owners gather enough on which
to make q comfortable living. The quality of
Kona coffee is quite equal to the best produced
in any part of the world, but in quantity it falls
very much below what it should be.
Mr.. II. N. Greenwell, an old resident Of Kona
