courage the cultivation of coffee
Minister Austin moved that the
bill pass.
Noble Wight moved TO amend
Section l, by making it compulsory
to maintain this plantation in the
district of Kona, Hawai-.
Rep. q. Brown said he did not
think this amendment necessary as
if this bill passes and company is
incorporated they will undoubtedly
select Kona as the district in which
to establish their plantation.
Minister Thurston SAID it was a
mistake to think that Kona was the
only place on the islands where
coffee will grow. There are many
places that grow as good coffee as
is grown in Kona. He thought
that the company should not be
confined to planting in any one dis,
trict, but be allowed to select such
lands and in such districts as they
think best. He should therefore
support the section as in the bill.
