Dickey, tax assessor on Maui, made
some interesting remarks on rainfall
on his Island. Mr.. Dickey has been a
resident of Maui many years. He says
that he has noticed a considerable in
crease in rainfall since the establish
ment of Spreckelsville plantation. His
soil, certainly on so large a scale as
the plantation, induces precipitation.
That locality in central Maui before
the cane planting, was notably dry,
but now has frequent and heavy
showers.

him to move as large force as possible
