which is the worlds standard of ex-

In order to test the lower and dryer
lands, the company planted nearly a
hundred sisal plants, last February
on the land of Pulehunui at a point
about a mile and a half above kihei
pump station number 8. and two or
three miles below and west from Omao-

The planting was done without SUI

most OF them are growing vigorously.

About King
O'Keefe.

a ship captain. who visited Homo
| lulu last February. told an interesting
story " the island OF zap of which an
Irish American named O'keefe was
| known as the King The captain. who
had worked on zap, told of the effort
OF the American widow to get control
Of the estate OF O'Keefe, which com
prised the entire island, away from
O'Kecfe's native family. The follow
/ ing dispatch gives the concluding
| chapter:
NEW YORK, oct. s.-Among the
passengers who landed from the Bre-
men today was Walter Charlton Part
ridge from the island of zap. Mr. Part
ridge is the legal representative of
Mrs. O'Keefe of Savannah, widow OF
the late David p. OKeefe, popularity
| known az the King of zap. He has
succeeded in bringing to an end the
controversy between the native zap
widows of O'Keefe and the legitimate
widow in Savannah over the will of the
adventurous Irishman
Mr. Partridge was conveyed from
Hongkong to zap in a United States
| naval collier.
O'Keefe, he says, had a trading
monopoly with the natives of small
islands of his zap groups. While he
probably was not more than a fifth
part of millionaire, he was an inter-
esting personality and welded i'm
mense power over the wild natives of
the island, solely by honest dealing
and kindness.
O'Keefe's business was to buy mer-
chandise in Hongkong, ship 1t in his
own schooner to zap and exchange it
| for coral with the natives.
The Savannah widow inherts a
handsome fortune from her husband.
