at Maalaia bay / found here a broad,
hsisnnal wharf, in place of the rickety con-
ofe few years ago, and abundant facilities
rsadhing Wailuku. The road skirting the
si1ils passing Waikapu, and ending at Wal
- IN excellent condition, and l noticed that
ef&nd which has heretofore been open COM
O. on The hillside Is now enclosed, the demand
ef4turage making it imperative to utilize all

41u, as well as that of the Wailuku Sugar
e Wss not grinding at the time of my visit,
N having just finished an abundant crop, and
9th being busted in preparing for another sea
on. The Waikspu Plantation has a large area
flaad not yet under cultivation, owing to a
3mswhat limited supply Of water, while Wal
aka has an abundant supply of water but, no
eF land 10 cultivate. 1t is therefore contem-
zaksd 20 mite the two plantations into one as q
cfp0rnficn and by means Of reservoirs and new
hannrIs for water to cultivate the large area on
h4 scounons" heretofore lying idle. This
lan VIII complete the conversion of the hereto
tors barren plains lying between East and West
Nh. . bork which was commenced at Spreck-
Ell pa and which will result in having under
E1f15Ellon the largest sugar cane growing plan
!ation IN the world.
Outside Of the plantation at Waikiki and
Wishes there are no industries that may be
oafls1 Independent Of the plantation except the
prsratfng Of fruits and taro by the Alden pro-
cess By the company organized for that purpose.
Samples Of their products have been promised
to = ssnt forward to the exhibition, aud that Of
the fouf prepared from the taro. Arum escu-
latsr. will be Of especial interest. 1t Is
claimed, and with justice, that with this -four "a
better quality of pai-ai for poi can be prepared
Chan in any other way. The Hour being bolted
tfree from many impurities and uou-edible

Irnnsportation to and from Waikiki and the
bort KahuIui IS made rapid and economical by
means of the K. w. * FL. Railroad, the trains
b uhich are run to suit the convenience Of
hiprers, and as the telephone Is in operation
along the line, delay is reduced to that that
Unavoidable.
II Kahului the piers have been enlarged and
u with a steam hosting engine, and two
t6reproof warehouses have been built for
~ceptiOn of goods and products. The train

Aaye sugar mills of the Hawaiian Agri-
Eco. of which Mr.. Geo. c. Williams is
tcsI manager. This plantation has ex-
its acreage of cultivated land over one
|he broad plains lying below the level of
irrigating ditch through which water Is
ed from the wIndWard side of the island,
prt elaborate system of railway track Is
over the whole area SO that though
&he cane is being planted three or four
ia the mills, yet the crop can be moved
Darts of the plantation to one point with
II, rapidity and economy. Two large
steam plOws were at work on the land
aIaia side of the peninsula, and the at
lgplow was breaking up the ground

g this plantation is that of Messrs.
I Baldwin, which mill was engaged
I it's own, and the crop of the Grove
Co, Immediately adjoining. The

at controlled by the Hawaiian Com
oany is most admirably adapted to
If sugar cane. 1t all needs irrigat-
