SETTLING THE LAND.

Nothing that has appeared in
The BULLETIN for long time is
more gratifying than the reports
of Mr.. Boyd upon his inspection
Of the homesteads on the other
Islands. 1t must give especial
pleasure to every well. wsher of
the Hawaiian race to hear of the
industry and enterprise being ex-
hibited by the native settlers.
When the example Of these thrift
ty Hawaiians becomes contagious,
as there should be good hopes
that it will, the dawn of new era
for the nation will appear. Proof
of the success of the homestead
policy of the Government, ex-
banded rs it has been from former
periods, is to be found in the
constantly increasing production
of coffee. The first direct ship
ment of this rising staple was
made to San Francisco from
Hilo few days ago, and
every steamer from Hilo and
Kona now brings II quota Of the
fragrant berry. Along with coffee
cultivation the settlers are making
the soil yield other marketable
products of excellent quality,
which bid fair to rival the pro-
auctions of the Chinese market
gardeners about Honolulu, as
we'll as, perhaps, do away with
the necessity of importing many
refrigerated articles from the
Coast. An instance of progress
in this line is the large production
of cauliflower recently noted at
Waimea, a portion of which came
to Honolulu and proved to be OF a
delicious quality. 1t is to be
hoped that homestead allotments
may yet be made on this island of
Oahu. Something in this way
might perhaps be done by large
private holders of land. BY provid-
ing irrigation where may be need
ed, and proceeding on lines SINH
lar to those of the time payment
branch of the public homestead
ing, these landholders would pro-
badly do better for themselves
than by the present uses to which
they put their land. Or, they
might sell out to the government,

A CARD FROM REV MIR zEITER.

CARD FROM REV MIR ZEITER.
 I take this opportunity to express to my friends my most sincere appreciation for the kind efforts which they have made to assist me in tiding over the great loss by fire which experienced, February 27. The rafters of the East Village parsonage had barely fallen ere efforts were set afoot for my benefit. While the ruins yet smouldered friends were securing the country winning sym pathy and aid. Words of mine can- not express to any fair degree the deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks which pervade my life when I consider the many sacrifices which more than one has made, that might receive the bene- fit, strength, labor, time, money, sym pathy all for me. Self forgotten that one in distress might be helped. God bless you one and all is my prayer. What surer pledge of my appreciation can give to those Who have befriended me than to promise that as the Lord prospers me so shall return to Him and for His service that which you have given me. Believe me that shall re- member you all with the kindest remem brance, and in my heart will ever re- main tender spot, and 8 tender feeling for you my benefactors. Most faith fully yours,-TJohn E. Zeiter.
