The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-06-22

1t is rather astonishing that
more tourists to Hawaii do not
extend their visits to the Garden
Island. Is it because the visitor
is satisfied with the wonders OF
the volcano or is it that their de-
sires tread only in the direction
of the possibilities of the here
after. Place Kauai with its
scenes OF peaceful grandeur by
the side of the volcano and you
have subjects for illustrating a
new edition of Dantes Paradise
Inferno.
Kauai has its high mountains
to please the climber and placid
streams to inspire the POLITICALLY
inclined maiden. From Kappa
to Waimea the roads compare
favorably with any in the United
States and are better than you
will find in many parts OF the
Islands. Nor is Kauai behind
in the matter of hotels; its ahead
IN many respects because in one
or two places, notably at Llhue,
where the usual formalities are
discarded and "all the comforts
of a home" are offered visitors.
Under the management OF Mrs.
Rice, assisted by her very capable
son Willie, the hotel is kept in
a manner which reflects credit,
not alone upon the proprletors,
but upon the island whose attrac-
tons will support SO large and
such a we'll kept establishment.
After a days tramp or a ride one
needs a refreshing bath and a
well cooked meal, after which a
seat on any one of the broad We
randas which surround the
house will bring to the tired
tourist the rest he Graves before
settling down for the night.
Beside the scenery which
seems to have been put there
expressly for tourists Kauai has
some of the finest and best kept
sugar plantations on the Islands
In point of size Makaweli leads
with 900 employees with Kealia
a close second. On the latter
plantation the Jones Locked
Fence is used in enclosing mile:
of cane and pasture land. 1t i:
an old saying among planter:
here that Colonel Spalding
,, never adopts the use of anything
until he knows its value; Other
people may do the experiment
ing. The natural conclusion to
be drawn is that the Jones fence
is good thing or Kealia plan
tation would not use it.
Nuuanu valley has new resi-
dent in the shape of an S-foo
galvanized Aermotor erected OF
the premises of Mr.. John Thoma
Warehouse. This is clearly al
instance of the progressive char

When he completed his new
house he wanted the means o
drawing water from the stream
and distributing it on tn
grounds. 1t took him twent,
minutes to decide that the Aer

wanted. The next day we pu
