TARO PLANTERS LOSS

Wailuku, Nov. l7.-There has been
so much rough weather at Halawa, Mo-
lokai, for month past that the steam
er Lehua was unable to call in there,
and the consequence was seven hun
drod bundles of paiai intended for the
leper settlement We're LEFT rotting in
the warehouse at the Halawa landing.
The natives used some Of the paiais
and some were given away to the ami
mails, but still a large quantity was
left unused and an entire loss.
Messrs. NJ. X. Kalilikane and Sol. F.
Kaalihikaua were the heaviest losers.
There being very few packing animals
in the valley, the paiais could not be
carried away to the Kona side where II
was quite smooth. Therefore the loss
to the natives by this unfortunate cir
cumstance will amount to over $500,
an amount which they could i'll afford
to lose as the lease on the 80 acres Of
taro patches belonging to the Bishop
Estate has been raised TO S25 an acre
and 81 for an acre OF kula land covered
with lantana.
