PRACTICAL ASSISTANCE TO SETTLERS
By A. SUMTER.

Can an American in search Of land
in Hawaii get any reliable information
at the Land Officer
He Is simply shown the maps and
surveys and advised to go and look at
the land. He may make one or sever.
al trips at very great expense before
he is actually suited. Perhaps the
search will be so difficult that he will
go away disguised,
believe that better methods could
be adopted. Would 1t not be a good
idea to have each separate piece OF
land thoroughly examined by an ex.
pert, who could tell at a glance what
each piece of land is capable of pro.
ducing, and what the probable cost for
improvements would be. II must be
borne in mind that, unlike the prairies
of the Mainland, there are scarcely
two pieces of land or two districts
alike in Hawaii. Each place must be
studied from a separate standpoint
Then when an intending settler applies
t.. the Land Office for information
send another expert with him >and
and show him the land and tell him
