on the ground that the island should
be broken up into homesteads so that
it might be developed "along tradi-
tional American lines and be repopu-
lated. He did not think such American
development would accrue through one
man holding $4,000 acres in addition
to 10000 he now controlled. He thought
if 100 Hawaiians could exist there now
without holding any property, vast
number could exist if the lands were
cut up into homesteads of three to four
hundred acres. He thought if Mr..
Gay could make success on Lanai
with cattle ranch, individual holders
of lands could do likewise. Then he
argued there would be more taxes be-
cause the community would be larger

happen, eff a man like Rockefeller

thing the way of lands on Oahu. -

country. What kind of community

In response to some OF these state

of the poorest places to utilize for
such a purpose. One great difficulty
is the lack of water. There were many
more natives living on Lanai in the
past than now
He said the island was becoming
more and more barren and there is no
land suitable for cultivation. The SAL
walton Of Lanai lay in its being under
the control of some intelligent man of
capacity who can develop it along the
only feasible line. which was grazing,
and then great paddocks would have
to be built. 1t would be folly for in
dividuals to try grazing on a small
scale. He was much surprised at the
valuation placed on the lands by Mr.
kidwell which, in his opinion, was too
high. In his opinion $4,000 would be
closer to the mark. Some of the land
was not worth ten gents an acre
Eben Low thought the government
should hold the lands until the leases
ran out.
II. E. COOPER'S OPINION.
H. E. Cooper was asked for an opin-
ion He stated in reply that he was
really speaking on behalf of Mr.. Cay
On the other hand he was quite fam
liar with the property, it having come
under his notice while he was a govern
ment officer. He had personally in
spected the property. He said he was
the one who had extended an invita-
ton to Mr.. McCandless to visit the
island. He did not think it was safe
for man to give an opinion without
going there. It might seem strange,
under all circumstances, that Mr. Gay
should want to acquire the land but
things had come to an acute stage with
Mr. Gay He has already spent SIS
600 in building great stretches of
FENCES, and putting in pipe lines and
in general effort to develop his lands
FINANCIAL men are not willing to go
INTO his venture without good security
AS to the property of Irwin and
Spreckels he stated that Mr.. Gay had
an option thereon, the price being
$4,000 for $4,000 acres. He must Sc
cure ownership or leave the island. The
water supply was a serious question
A former company had spent $4,000
cash in boring for it. AS to the eff
fort to establish the MaunaIei Sugar
Plantation he considered that was al
most criminal as there was no water
supply there and none could be devel-

! ABOUT small farming and am enthusiasts
! tic about it but the great paddoch
! system is the solution of the problem
| on Lanai.
| NO individual man should be in
duced by the government to go over
there to take up small holdings of
lands and try to make him spend his
funds endeavoring to establish a small
stock farm. He would meet with fall
ure
There are many pals there where
, even the goats become dizzy travelling
over them and the island is scanned
with ridges
Mr.. kidwell gave an entertaining
talk on the physical features of the is
land, its barren aspect, ETC., and said
that perhaps, after all, his appraise-
ment might be a little large. Without
a good water supply the island would
be practically valueless to any}gone.
Some of the island was being denuded
even of its layer of soil by the winds
Col. Samuel Parker talked of the is
land and his visits to it in the old
times-23 years ago when there was
plenty of rainfall there. He recounted
one visit there with w. G.. Irwin when
the rain even pelted through the Hay
selden house. 1t was a time when he
wanted to freeze everybody else out
on the island. At that time Claus
Spreckels promised to let him and
Irwin hare all the money they wanted
to buy the land, but they didn't get
them.
Senator-elect Knudsen said the whole
trouble with Lanai at present was the
lack of water. 1t was a desolate look
ing island at present.
l.. G. Kellogg said he had visited
island with a view to placing an invest
ment for some mainland people. He
found the water question confronting
him. To carry water from Maunalei
Gulch to various parts of the island
would cost $50 900, and one tunnel 5000
feet long would have to be cut. At
present there was hardly enough water
on the island for domestic uses.
George Markham made a sort of
Fourth of July grafton about populat-
ing the island and making it bloom like
a garden with homesteaders. Roose-
welt wanted it populated and Mr.. Sar-
gent was here from Washington and
if only the Governor would appeal to
the higher authorities much could be
done to break it up into homesteads.
Mr. Hayselden's letter favored the
exchange as proposed. He had lived
on the island for about thirty years. He
thought $107 900 was twice as much
as the lands in question were worth.
The rainfall was scant and uncertain.
The water supply would not cover 100
acres of land under irrigation.
1t was entirely unfit for homestead
purposes.
The meeting lasted until 5:45 p. m.
Governor Garter thanked the assem-
blage for their attendance and interest
in the matter.
