as II is now we can Import Japanese,
but not Chinese and We have now about
10000 Japanese in the Islands. They
do not make as good laborers as the
Chinese. They are not so reliable, nor
do they make as good citizens"
DO you have labor unions among
your Celestials?"
Not In the sense that the word is
used in the United States" said Gov,
Carter The Japanese always go to-
gether They may be said to have
one great union of their own. The
chinese have their organizations, but
these are more like social clubs than
our trades unions There are now and
then strikes among the people Of both
races, but we have, on the whole, fewer
labor troubles than you
is there any chance for the poor
white man In Hawaii?"
Not much for the common laborer."

what are the chances Ter young
Americans IN the Hawaiian Islands,
GOVERNOR"
There are opportunities for young
Americans everywhere" was thereby
"and there will always be places for
the right men In our Islands. Never
theless, II must be remembered that the
country there Is about az well taken Up
as In any part OF the United States
The Islands have been settled for many
years and the opportunities Of a now
and rapidly developing country ARE
lacking. We prefer to have a few
high priced good men rather than many
poor men TO DO our work, and the
wages are, | think, higher than IN the
United States. Overseers aud forenoon
are now receiving 800 and upward per
month, Sugar boilers and engineers
500 and upward, while the plantation
carpenters and blacksimths are paid
from $50 TO 500. All the high-pr
men on the sugar Plantations have their
houses and flrewood furnished There
Is good demand for mechanics in Homo
lulu, but even there the Japanese and
Chinese compete. AS to clerks and
bookkeepers they are easily gott n, ana
the wages are not much higher than in
the United States"
MEN WITH MONEY.
THry about men with money? Are
there many opportunities for good in-
Vestments?"
Yes, but the conditions are not far
different from those VI other parts OF
the United states. II takes large capi-
tai to operate sugar plantation and
the best Of the sugar lands are taken
up and In cultivation. There are some
opportunities In coffee growing and IN
raising pineapples and other fruits for
shipment to the United states The
available lands are comparatively few.
The Islands all told have an area about
one-fourth as large as the state of West
Virginia and a very large proportion Is
mountainous and uncultivable. Such
of the soil az can be used is, In many
places, exceedingly rich but, as have
said, the best lands are already owned
and have been so for many years"
Are there not some government
lands?'
Yes, there are altogether about g.
100000 acres, but much Of Il IL sterile
or inaccessible or covered with lava.
There are perhaps 100000 acres that
have some value, and half of that
amount Is good land The government
is anxious that It's lands should be talk
en- up by small planters. but, at 100
acres to the man, they could accommo-
date comparatively few people"
