In speaking of the times previous to this
Miss Sinclair says: Great numbers of the
inhabitants went into the mountains each
year for various purposes, such as gather

and wood-cutting, besides other pursuits
Of pleasure and profit"
Mr.. Stevenson and Prof. OleSon think
this privilege was "A small return granted
by the king for what at best was practi-
cal serfdom.
Until lately the individual ownership
of land was not recognized by the native
Hawaiian, and before the tabu system
was abolished they were dependent almost
entirely upon their chiefs.
Many did not take advantage of the offer
made to the common people by Kameha-
meha, in 1S47, to gain title to land occupied
by themselves. Some suppose the reason
TO have been that there was strong
disposition on the part of the common peo-
pie to cling 20 the old system of dependence
upon the pleasure Of the chiefs for the use
of land. Even now the native shows a
great readiness to part with his lands
rather than work them, and the greater
part of the land is either owned by foreign
capitalists or by Chinese, Japanese, or
Portuguese, and these, as d rule, are sue
ttspol vi lsIlluIIstS. II Is eStlllaIcI mat
one out of every four Hawaiian men owns
land in his own name or in the name of
his wife or children. In few instances
the native leases his land to owners of
large plantations or 10 rice planters.
THREE GREAT ESTATES.
The land remaining under the control
OF the Government it was deemed best to
divide into small homcsteads, and TO sell
| these to farmers, preferably natives, who
desired plantations.
Three great estates comprise nearly all
the land available for farming. These
are the Grown lands" the Government
lands, and the Bishop estate. The Gov
| ernment lands, as has been previously
stated, have nearly all been disposed of to
small planters.
The Bishop estate is the most valuable.
| and these lands are under improvements
which, when completed, will greatly in
| crease their value. On this estate are
located the Kamehameha Military School
buildings, to the support of which Princess
Pauahi and her husband, Hon. G. II.
| Bishop, have given generous sums.
FOREIGN ENTERPRISE.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Visit to Our New Possessions
in the Pacific.
BY OSCAR F. SAMPSON,
LIST. N. Y. Vols, Spanish War.

Something about the resources of Hawaii,
the opportunities it offers To American
capital, and more especially TO American
labor, can not fail to be of interest, par
ticuarly to those young and middle-aged
men who are searching for wider field of
enterprise.
First in importance in these islands is
the sugar industry, which in former years,
under a more crude method of manufacture,
largely employed hand labor. This
industry had its foundation i'll a charter
granted by the Hawaiian Government to
Ladd & Co. (Americans) in 1885, giving
TO this firm large amount of very valu-
bic land at a nominal price. When the
gold excitement began in California a new
market WAS opened TO the. sugar manu-
facturers. and trade in the commodity
steadily increased until 1893.
Closely connected with the sugar in
duStry is the manner i'll which the land
is divided. exchanged and sold. Formerly
the kings and priests were III a great
measure pos8essors Of the land. After
u conquest. when a new king came into
power, it appears that the land was usually
divided into Grown lands" those held by
the sovereign for his own Use, and the
common lands, set apart by the king for
certain classes 10 work.
So far rs can learn, this had been the
The National tribune., 1899-12-07

to this product it is said that coffee bids
fair to yet rival the sugar industry in the
islands. AS many of the poorer classes
engage in this occupation, both because
of its ready sale and ease in culture, this
may yet prove true.
Upon inquiry found that to be sure of
success one ought to have about $1,000.
This may seem to many too large an
amount for a small plantation, but we
must consider that it requires three years
| for the plants to mature, and that each
| farm must be furnished with artesian
wells, or other means of irrigation, while
quite an amount of work is necessary before
| the plants can bear. Settlers with large
| families may gain here, as the children
can pick even better than grown people.
Coffee finds ready market in Honolulu at
| five cents per pound, usually, and it can be
grown in nearly all the islands of the group
| Probably the best coffee district is around
! the city of Hilo, in the island of Hawaii.
1t is estimated that an acre of coffee
four years old will give yield of 1000
pounds of good coffee, and will cost about
$3.50 to bring it to maturity. This in
cludeS tools and rent, but not interest
living expenses, or cost of management
1t will cost about $3.50 to move a family
of five from Honolulu to the coffee dis
tricts, and about $3.50 from San Francisco
to Honolulu, second-class. 1t will cost
this family about 5000 to build a house,
with water, but no garden; and if they keep
IL COW the estimate is about S35 per month.
This does not cover the cost of land.

Olaa district, Hawaii, gives the following
estimates of value to any who may wish
to engage in this business. | give these,

take your proceeds to develop the other

with the necessary out-buildngs and la
borcrs' quarters, for which allow $1,000;
then the clearing of the land, from $50 to
$40 per acre. then the tilling Of the ground

penses, extras and living. $500, and
you have your first years cost. The
second year is the same, and vet no
return for your money. The third year
about one-half or two-thirds of expenses
will be covered by crop, but for safety
add, say, $500. The fourth years
income and outlay will be from $4,000 to
$4,000, and the fifth year you will get an
income over expenses of about $4,000 or
$1,000 Oh a total expenditure of $4,000 or
S15,OO0. Your new crop will now help
pay expenses, and from this out you can
make a gain; but remember that coffee
