The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-06-12

and the train of stories that follow n
such wake.
The road leads past the country resi-
dences of Theodore Lansing, Cecil
Brown, Mrs Foster, S. G. Wilder, L.
L. McCandless and others. a succession
of rich tropical growth between noun
tain and sea, rice fields and taro pat l.
es, gardens and ideal villa sites, with
little bays and bights indentinR the
shore, tempting to the yachtsman OF
the fisher, until the Judd ranch is
reached. Here a point juts out into the
sea, and as you turn the point, the
character of the lanscape changes en-
tirely. The mountains, generally
speaking, come closer to the sea.
Though not so high they are more pre-
cipitous, and grimmer their rock ribs
not being hidden by so luxuriant a
growth of vegetation. The valleys
along this part of the shore extend far
Their up into the heart of the noun e.
tains, which here spread out over a
broader base Great spreading kama
ne trees give an air of venera bleness
and age to the scattered homesteads
along the route.
The canefelds of Laie are the first
indication one meets on this ride of the
great staple of the islands. The Nor
mon church, a structure of typical Nor
mon architecture stands on an emin-
ence overlooking the most village-lik
collection of houses so far met on the
journey. A few miles beyond is Ka-
huku plantation with its hundreds of
acres of luxuriant looking cane, its
pumping plants and mill, and its COM
Portable looking laborers' quarters. Be
yond Kahuku is a ranch country the
mountains degenerated into bluffs,
standing back from the sea no great
distance. 1t is along here that the new
Boys Industrial school is located. The
buildings are appropriate, and there is
evidence of well directed industry in
the air of thrift and good cultivation
in the gardens that surround it.
Along this shore fifty years ago there
was a population of 5000 natives. The
road leads on past the beautiful valley
of the Waimea River, to Waialua and
the Haleiwa Hotel.
From Haleiwa the road runs through
the canefields of the Waialua planta-
ton, past the managers residence, ever
rising to the table land that stretches
for miles toward Honolulu. Nine miles
from Waialua is the big Wahiawa dam
in course of construction which will
create a reservoir of a capacity of g.
500, 600 gallons of water, and which
if it is as successful as it is expected
to be means the addition of thousands
of acres of cane lands to the already
accepted cane lands of the island.
To the north of this dam lies the Wa.
hiawa colony, farms where acres OF
pineapples give an aspect of infinite
fertility to the region.
From Wahiawa the road leads down
toward Honolulu giving a view of one
of the largest and richest cane acreages
in the world, the fields of Eva, Oahu
and Honolulu plantations.
The trip is a splendid one, exhilirat-
ing and attractive throughout. 1t was
made yesterday in nine hours and a
half including stops, and in about six
hours actual running time. The dis.
lance is about ninety miles.
