hO MORE VIII memories u tue piu
days come with the appearance
/ of the name of the Rose ranch.
That memorable old property. the hos
pitabe home of Captain James Makee,
which for generation stood for all
that was Jolly and homelike on Maui
has been Incorporated into the kahiki-
nui ranch and hereafter will be Camp
No. /.
Papers were signed yesterday trans
ferring these lands and cattle to Henry
waterhouse & Co. for DR.. J. VI. Ray
mond and his Wife The consideration
named in the deed is $50, 500. 1t is un-
derstood that the payment was made in
bonds of the Dowsett Estate, Limited.
Mrs Raymond being one of the Stock
holders In that corporation. The trans
fer makes DIR. Raymond the largest
holder Of fee simple lands on the Island
Of Maui. this purchase adding l6,ooo
acres tn the 5000 which are 50 held out
Of the 80, 1000 in the Kahikinui estate.
The ranch will be developed in con-
nection with It's parent ranch the Ka-
hikinui. into the most improved cattle
estate in the Islands. Already it has
on it more than 800 cattle, and these
will be incorporated into the herds of
the old ranch two fine springs and
there will be such development of these
as will lead to the opening of new
grazing ranges, new fattening pad
docks and abundant water supply FOR
the fields all over the estate. The water
will be piped and reservoirs constructed
as soon as the work can be got under
way. This will be of great help to the
Eahikinui ranges, as well as to the ola
ranch.
The latest purchase gives to the Ray
mond properties $50 acres of fine corn
land, which will be added to In great
amount when the lantana has been
cleared away. The Kahikinui ranch is
now the scene of the most systematic
fight upon the lantana scourge that is
being waged in the Islands. DR.. Ray
mond has secured a large quantity OF
the blight which is the natural enemy
of the lantana and is inoculating each
field where the shrub grows. The ef-
feet of the blight Is wonderful, for with
in a day after 1t has been introduced
into the plant it makes itself felt, and
soon after there is a blackening of the
branches and the life of the lantana
must then be measured by few months
only.
will make this the largest independent
producer of cattle in the entire group,
and it Is said that from time to time
the lines of cattle will be enlarged and
extended and the breed improved. This
will mean that the number of cattle to
be sent into this market will be greatly
multiplied At the present time both OF
the ranches which are concerned in the
consolidation are on paying OASIS
Their being brought together and oper-
ated under one management will add TO
the returns from each, while the eX-
tension of the water development will
mean that there will be ample water
for all the stock which may be brought
together on the two ranches. In addl-
tion to the cattle, which is to be made
the principal product of the ranch. there
will be some horses raised, not only
for the use of the ranch, but some fo'
the market here In addition Their,

the farming for the corn crop will b

The Rose Ranch was developed as on,
Of the first sugar cane growing estates
in the Islands a generation ago, wher
il was the property of Captain jane
Makee It was then known as the Ma
les plantation. The name of the ranch
tr4 Rose Ranch. came from the profu
sior of roses which were grown ther'
when it was the home of Captain Ma
kee. The ranch finally was abandoned
as sugar estate and was given owe
to the raising of cattle. Then ii cam
urder the hammer and was sold L
James !. Dowsett for SS4 500 Since

the very best on the Island.
The Rose Ranch was the home o
Mrs. F.. d. Tenney, Mrs. Colons

ed during each year and the entertain
ments We're always elaborate and we
