and Mrs Maria Ferreira and daughter
returned to Makawao, after nine
months absence in Madeira. With
money made in Hawaii, they purchased
vineyards, one for $1,000 and one for
$500, but found It hard TO make a liv-
ing, owing to the high prices of staple
articles. So. selling their vineyards,
they gladly returned to Hawaii, where
life Is much easier. One OF their es-

the price of cOws-$60 being asked for
