This makes every one in the community
a member of the lecture bureau of this
place and responsible for its maintain
ance and success. The committee are
only agents for the people. If the high
standard that has been set for these
courses is to be maintained everyone in
the community should feel response
bility in the matter. The last opportu-
nifty of securing season tickets will be on
the evening of the first entertainment

son tickets saving of forty cents will be
made on the four numbers. Season tick

they are anxious to see something in
the way of cash.
The workmen ON the plantation di-

grown, and so have refused to leave
for other estates.
There were more meetings of the

Fits IN With
His HOME PLACE

Through negotiations which were
closed yesterday prior to the departure
of the Kinau, the Young Hee Ranch of
Maui passed into the possession of w.
II. Cornwell. The transaction includes
something like 5000 acres of land, there
being reserved from sale about 1000
acres of corn and potato lands, which
are the best of the arabic portions of
the estate.
The grazing lands. the timber and all
the animals on the property are includ-
ed in the transaction. and while the
price is kept secret, the figures will be
close to 500 900 for the land transferred.
The estate which is added to the
ranches of Col. Cornwell adjoips the
grazing bands which were under his
control. and extends his fields until
they adjoin those of the Ulupalakua
ranch.
! The lands which are embraced in the
Young Hee ranch are those Of the anu
apuaa of Koanoulu, and as well one
and one-half shares in the Sniffen es-
tate. The major portion of the ranch
Is fine grazing lands, but there is
enough timber on the tract to make
that feature of sufficient value to be
considered. The lands adjoin the Kihei
plantation, and extend up to the noun
tain. giving all the water necessary for
stock which range the piece.
The purchase of the Young Hee ranch
by Col. Cornwell carries out a plan
which has been In his mind for several
years. In fact some three years ago
Col. Cornwell made a trip to China for
the sole purpose of buying the ranch.
He and Young Hee passed on the way
and when the latter arrived here the
ranch was purchased by Gear & Lans-
ing, the price being $4,000. There were
a number of propositions which the
owners tried to put through with ref
erence to this ranch. At one time there
was a proposal to form a great ranch,
making the Young Hee holding the
nucleus, which would embrace the
Cornwell ranches, the Ulupalakua, the
Kahikinui and the Haleakala estates.
The ranch was managed by Gear &
Lansing and passed into the hands of
the trustees of the firm last year. The
negotiations were carried on by Messrs.
Henry Waterhouse e. Company for Col.
Cornwell, and A. V. Gear and It. F..
Lansing went down in the Kinau yes
terday, followed by Col. Cornwell in
;, the Claudine, to survey the reserved
lands, and to transfer the main por-
ton OF the estate later.
