The Honokohau ditch is at last com
pIeted and the water was turned on
last Saturday. This ditch leads the
water from the mountain streams of
Honokohau into the Kaanapali lands
of the Pioneer Mill Co. of Lahaina.
This huge waterway is the private
property of Hon. II. P. Baldwin and
has been leased (the water and the
ditch) by him to the Lahaina planta-
ton for a term of years.
The cost of construction was about
$150, 900, J. S. Molony was the engineer
in charge of the work. Tt is estimated
that a daily average flow of about ten
million gallons will be maintained. The
Lahaina people are fortunate in OBJ
tanning such an abundant supply of
fresh water. It will prove good in
VeStment.

The estimated crop of Puunene for
1904 is $4,000 tons. The Kihei crop,
