The Kealia and Hanamaulu mills on
Kauai have still ten days work before
them, so they will put few hundred
tons III at the very highest market rate.
Judge Widemann has been visiting
various mills on Kauai. He paid visit
to Kealia on July 9th, and made thor
ough examination of the results of the
diffusion process. 1t is said the Judge
talks of diffusion for Waianae.
Some changes are to be made in two
mills at the close of thia season. XII
lauea will 60 in for maceration, while
Princeville, Hanalei, will put in a full
diffusion plant. There is a regular
determination among the Kauai planters
to be fully abreast of the times.
Plentiful showers have fallen at the
northern end of the island and Lihue,
and Hanamaulu, Kappa and Kealia
have also come in for a share. 1t is lust
the weather for planting, and operations
have been and are being pushed rapidly
forward. Every available man is being
employed to get the future crop in. The
new cane is looking remarkably well
and next seasons grinding will probably
pan out little in excess of the present
yield, if it meets no drawback.
Dr. Craddock, Government physician
at Kilauea, has been seriously i'll, and
has had to have the care of the medical
man from Lihue. He is reported as
slowly improving.
\ Mr.. Auerback, for some years book
keeper at Kilauea, leaves that position
July 31st AMI will after short stay in
Honolulu return to England. Mr..
Auerbach has been very popular mem
Der of the plantation staff, and his loss
will be felt both by those connected with
him in business and by those who have
met him socially.
DIR. Hagus, lately of Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, has arrived at Kealia to look
after the health of the plantation.
AS there are some 800 employees the
Doctor will have his time fairly occu-
pied. DR.. Hagus is accompanied by his
wife.
Hanalei Valley was visited the other
day by Mr.. and Mrs. Aubrey Robinson
and Miss Gay. The former lady though
for so many years a resident of the
Garden Island, had never visited what
is regarded as the fairest spot upon an
island full of scenic beauty. Hanalei is
lovely just now. The rainl has
not been sufficient to make the roads
muddy, while everything is brilliant
green from the passing showers. The
expanse OF rice land, partly covered with
ripening grain, partly with the early
growth and partly showing the hewn
burrows turned up for planting, is in it
self pleasant sight. Back this with
tree clad mountains, capped by heecy
clouds, and you have truly beautiful
picture.
Professor Brigham arrived in Kauai
by the Waialeale. He landed at Kilauea
and spent day driving about to see the
sights of that picturesque spot, among
other places viewing the celebrated
Kukui Grove near Maulua Gulch. He
drove over to Hanalei where he rejoined
the Waialeale and proceeded to Waimea.
In the vicinity of the latter he will re-
main some three weeks and will be the
guest of Mr.. Sinclair. The trip round
from Hanalei to Waimea would afford
the Professor a grand opportunity for
taking photographs of the coast of the
Ma Pail district, which exhibits some of
the finest scenery on the Islands. While
at Kilauea, Professor Brigham was the
guest of r. a. Macfe, Esq.
The Princess Liliuokalani visited
Hanalei by the Waialeale. She went
down to attend to some land matters.
She was received by the Hon. Paul
Kanoa and number of friends.
Three of the teachers who have been
staying at Kipukai returns to Honolulu
this steamer. Others are coming to en-
Joy the hospitalities of this residence by
the next Mikahala.
Judge Widemann, who was expected
to return to Honolulu by the Mikahala,
has elected to stay another week on the
Island. He will probably visit Waimea
and look over the land where the great
plantation is going to be started. At
least so say the wise ones and they
should know Mr.. Widemann and Miss
Alvina Widemann are the guests of Mrs.
Cropp of Koloa.
