HoNOKAA. Jan. 3o.-A rousing pub
lie meeting and visit to the coffee
lands and homesteads above Honokaa
were the features of the day spent in
this village, the largest and probably
the most progressive so far visited by
the Governors party. Honokaa is the
metropolis of the Hamakua district and
its people are well organized. Half
a dozen large stores, number OF
smaller ones, and several hotels and
eating houses give the town a fine ap-
pearance of prosperity.
VISIT TO COFFEE LANDS.

the morning Gov. Carter, with Secre-
tarv Atkinson and Forester Hosmer
visited the homesteads above Honokaa,
being met en- route by Manager Gibbs
OF Paauhau plantation and Guy Gere
of the Public Works department
The homesteads seem to be prosper
GUS although many of them have been
deserted for the time being. Impas-
sable roads are held responsible for the
dissemination of the homesteaders to
live on their lands but this obstacle
will soon be removed and the home
steads will be occupied again. The
road to the three lots of homesteads
was planned in a straight line. without
regard to.mountains and the path leads
up an almost perpendicular precipiee IN
places.
COFFEE CULTIVATION
Nearly all of the twenty-acre home
steads have been planted in coffee ana
the trees presented a fine appearance
The cane is ripening rapidly and in
few weeks will be ready for harvesting
Some of the homesteads are also plant
ed in cane which is doing well. The
cane is sold to the neighboring planta-
tions.
A brief stop was made at Louisson
coffee plantation where the party en-
3oved some of the finely Favored coffee
~<raised there. Altogether there are lzoO
acres in coffee which is fast rtpenlng-
Seventy sacks of green coffee have al
ready been picked and cleaned ana

Denartment may take a portion OF the
Hawaiian coffee crop and with the rep
