amongst the number were great many
Portuguese, Hawaiians and Chinese, all

from the deceased's hands numberless
faVOrs and kindnesses, and all of whom

Mr.. Anderson was a native of New
England, and was at the time of his
death 73 years of age. He came to
Maui nearly 30 years ago 70 work on the
Ulupalallua plantation for Captain Ma
kee. He was one of number of men
who came from California to cultivate
cane for Captain Makee on shares, and
| the colony established the village of
LincUlnville at Ulupalakua. The ven
| ture did not succeed however and the
colony soon broke up and the members
scattered. Mr.. Anderson however re-
m a nj n ta {
not long until he had been advanced by
Captain Makee to the head-luna- ship,
and for many years was Makee'S right
hand man. After Ulupalakua closed up
he moved to Makawao and became in
terested with w. f.. MOssman I'm a ven,
| ture to establish plantation i'm upper
MakaWaO. The cane was planted and a
mill sent for to England. The first mill
was lost by the wreckng of the vessel
as 1t was nearing the islands, and an
| other was Immediately ordered. The
| ship with this one on board was wreck
ed off Cape Horn, and a third one was
| ordered. When this arrived however,
| they had lost so much and had other
set backs, that they decided to give up
| the venture and the mill was sold "a
some other plantation. They had how
ever gone ahead with their smokestack
and today "A large brick chimney stands
| opposite the Makawao school I'm the
| their venture and to the memory also
| Of James Anderson, within a quarter
| Of mile of which he now sleeps.
| Mr. Anderson then opened with Mr.
/ MOssman a store i'm MakawaO, and had
| up to the time of his death been en-
gagged i'm the same business. He was
| twice elected to the Legislature under
| the Monarchy serving for the last time
| during the stormy time Of 1891, and had
! been for nearly 20 years postmaster al
| MakawaO. James Anderson was a mar
/ known all over the Islands Of the grouT
and as well liked as he was known.
Mr.. Anderson had always prospered "a
a certain degree, though he had never
amassed what would be called a for
tune. He leaves a neat little property
! at Makawao, all Of which he had decided
| several years ago to his faVoTte
nephew j. @. Anderson. who is now re-
| siding in Salt Lake CITY Utah. 1t is not
known what will become of the prop
erty and nothing will be known until he
Is heard from,
