OUR wAILUKU LETTER.


since Monday blown every hour and
by it one can easily tell of the back
wardness of the field men to do their
share of the work and this was only
of late since Mr.. j. Dow severed his
connections with the plantation. A
new change is rumored to the effect
that Mr.. Marshall formerly head over
seer of the Wail<apu section will take
Mr.. Ogg's place at Waihee who will
be made head luna in the place of
Mr.. Dow.
j. Dow and Il. Morton, respectively
head and assistant luna of the Kihei
Plantation were in town last Satur-
day evening and after passing very
jovial time with their numerous
friends returned to their posts Sunday
evening.

lighted with the improvements at XII
hei and the place being half way be-
tween Kula districts and town people
coming and going out of town make
it their resting place. With Billy
Cornwell now in China on business
presumably to see Mr.. Young Hee,
within the near future all along the
beach to Maizena, will be nothing but
cane and opium smuggling in that
part will have to cease.

the enterprise carried on a larger
scale. Many influential citizens are
looking into the enterprise very keen
ly and are only waiting the outcome
of Mr.. Scott's experiment
