rived on the Maui last week and up to
the time of his departure on Friday
spent most of his time looking over the
Puma plantation, of which he has been
appointed receiver. Despite the rumors
Of the abandonment OF the place, Re
eeiver Pfotenhauer found the planta-
ton in very fair condition. Owing to
the scattered condition of the fields, the
property will never prove profitable
plantation under corporate manage
can be successfully operated by the
contract system TO small planters. AL
-sady contracts have been let for the
care and cultivation of the cane now
growing, which presents fine appear

are $50 laburers, mostly Chinese at ka-
poho and perhaps n hundred at Pahoa.
