to the Allentown Hospital, from
which a favorable report was received
this morning.

The Knoxville Journal and
Tribune of recent date says:
New interest in railroad cir

stakes of railroad survey into

that il is the Holston River rail
road, or the Virginia & South

So far as can be learned there

No inside information is OBJ

ration having gone over TO the

president is Henry l.. McHarg.
Of New York.
The move excited consider
able speculation. One inference
is that the road is coming on
south TO Knoxville by following
as near as possible the Holston
River railroad. Another infer
ence is that the Southern is in
terested and that IL has been
decided TO build on to Morris
town as direct a line as possible

The assertion has been fire.

that Kamehameha should succeed him
in the government. When Kahekili
died, Kamehameha came to claim his
own and was resisted by Kalaniku-
pule, who was defeated with great
slaughter at the Nuuanu Pail Kala-
nikupule escaped over the mountain TO
Moanalua, where his retainers con-
cealed him for a time, but he was
given up. Kamehameha, for his
treachery, caused him to be sacrificed
on an altar on the highland on this
side of Moanalua
The valley, containing over 5000
acres, was given by Kamehameha I. to
Kameeiamoku. who gave it to Lot Ka-
mehameha, afterwards Kamehameha
V. From him it passed to his sister
the Princess Luka Keelikolani, who
willed it TO the Princess Pauahi
Bishop, who devised it to her friend,
Samuel NJ. Damon, together with the
fishing right of Kaliawa, to have and
to hold with the appurtenances to
him, his heirs and assigns for ever.
1t was the only piece of land from her
enormous estate which she devised to
anyone outside of the B. P. Bishop Es-
tate although she gave life estates to
several.
1t was said that the King Kalakaua
was quite incensed that what had been
royal land so far back that the mem
CRY of man runneth not had been given
to foreigner. Mrs. Bishop had her
reasons, however, for thus disposing
of Moanalua, and, like every other item
in her noble will, it has proven to have
been a wise devise. Had the estate
been willed to chief or even to the
B. P Bishop Trust it would not have
been kept up in the splendid form it
is. The income from rents of the lands
and fish-ponds are princely, but Mr..
Damon spends a large part in main,
tanning it. Like Caesars will, Mrs.
Bishops has made the populace her
heirs. for who does not enjoy the
beauty of the valley as much so as if it
was his own, and that, too, without
the expense the owning of it woul9 en-
tail? Mr.. Damon places no restraint
on the public viewing it and using it,

the welfare OF the grounds and
valley.
TREES OF THE VALLEY.
I had thought of mentioning the
various trees of the valley and their
uses, but have already written longer
than I intended. AT some future day
in describing the valley of Manoa I
hope to speak of them and the birds.
many of which are not yet extinct.
CHANGES IN THE VALLEY.
In former days the road up the val
ley led along the Waikiki border of the
land. A particular part of this road
was called Kauelua, from the screams
of victims of robbers who infested it.
On the Eva side there stands two
mounds named, respectively, Walia-
paakai and Waiiamanu, in the former
of which the water is salt, and a de-
post Of salt is continually found there.
This is singular, as its elevation is
considerably above the sea. The land
is very broad at the sea, its artificial
and natural fishing rights very ex-
tensive. At the time of the great ma
hele'' of lands in 1S47 there were few
applications for title in this great ah-
upuaa, probably for fhe reason that the
natives lived on the dry inclines on
either side. and the whole area was
devoted to taro and fish-ponds. 1t is
bonded on the Eva side by the anu
puaa of Halawa, near Puuloa station,
the westerly line following the apex
of the ridge to the Koolau division.
The east, or Waikiki, side is bounded
by the ahupuaa of Kahauiki, now the
property of the United States. as be-
fore mentioned. The little island of
Mokumoa comes within the lines of

THE VALLEY.

Through a gate We were let into the
pasture lands in which blooded cattle
of many colors were feeding on the
rich grasses. This we might call the
entrance proper of the valley, for now
the precipices on either side begin to
rise and although the fields are COM
paratively barren. vistas of forests in
the distance lure US on. AS we pro-
coed we notice jungles of the hau tree
so Indispensable to the early Hawai-
ian, for from its bark he obtained mate
rial for rope so essential in hDuse
building where metals were unknown.

turn to red in the evening, sparkle on

Where are you going tomorrow 2"
asked a gentleman at Notes million
aire table, for they expect each week
I will give them the story of one or
the numerous beautiful valleys in the
vicinity of Honolulu. / answered that
there were two places 1 wished to ex-
plore. one the historic valley of Manoa
and the other the charming valley OF
Moanalua, the latter if the former
threatened to be wet.
Ny Missourian tourist tramp friend
was ready early but the weeping maid
of Manoa," protested against visiting
her aerie. and as I knew well the un-
pleasantness of wading through tall
wet grass 1 told my friend we would go
in the other direction and see Moana-
lua. which I knew we could depend on
for being dry under foot.
We found the King street car loaded
with city people fleeing to the coun-
try as it was about train time and so
many are now visiting the pineapple
country by the new branch of the Ca
hu railway.
Leaving the car in the Kahauiki val
ley. which has now become the prop
erty of the United States government,
we assembled the hill where the mann
moth military camp is being complet-
ed Here we viewed the scene and
commended the wisdom of the arc1i-
tect who laid out the camp and imagin-
ed what its beauty would be when
water is laid on and the campus is en-
1ox
We then descended by the winding
road, whose sides are guarded by stone
walls of pointed masonry. into Moana-
lua, the artistically laid garden par
excellence on the Hawaiian islands.
How fortunate are the residents of Ho-
nolulu to have so near and accessible
a magnificent park, where they are
welcome, and which has all the req
uisites of light and shade, waterfalls,
paths, and fruits and flow
ers. the enjoyment of which is as much
theirs as it is that Of the owner. Of
this more anon.
We pursued our way across the val
ley and followed the well-built road
which twists and turns as it clings to
the sleeps on the Eva side until we
debouched into the road which leads to
the valley proper. The mammoth UNI /
brageous monkeypods on either side
must arrest the attention of the north
arn tourist, although the wealth and
variety of the tropical fruits and vines
might perhaps excite his admiration
while the exquisite bits of artistic gar
1ening on either hand would commend
he vale of Moanalua to the most fas-
idious.
Clumps of cactus with their brilliant
solored ripe fruit looked most tempt
ng, while plethora of beans of the
slgaroba covered the ground for mile
along the road, the value OF which for
'ood for stock should warrant their
being CLEANED daily.
As we assembled the valley the hill
ides and lands assumed deeper hue
# green, probably from receiving more

STORY OF THE TITLE TO MO-
ANALUA

On the way down we stopped at a
rustic pavilion, built in imitation of
a japanese tea-house, and spread out
our lunch on the table. and While dis
GUESSING it I told the story of the title
to the valley. From ancient times it
had been an appanage of the royal
house of Oahu. When Kahekili. king
of Maui, conquered Oahu, it came over
to him. He was a great general and
had defeated Kamehameha when the
latter was a general under kalanio
pun, at Waikapu, and had spared his
life. 1t was rumored that Kaneha-
meha was a natural son of Kahekili.
When he left Maui he placed the
kingdom in charge of his son Kalani-
kupule, who had not the abilities of
Kahekili, and who was defeated by
Kamehameha at Wailuku Kalaniku-
pu1e escaped to Oahu to his fathers
court. When Kahekili saw that Ka-
mehameha was determined to bring
Oahu under his yoke the old man sent
word to him to wait until the black
pig was placed at his nose and then
the kingdom would be his. meaning

similar structures at every crossing

WAIOLA.

Presently we came to a point where
two streams met and where the upper
valley opened out. On this promontory
or tongue Of land formerly stood the
uppermost house in the valley. The
land was called Waio.a, water of life.
I asked the aged kama alma, for he was
born in Moanalua seventy~foslr years
ago, why it was SO called and could he
tell me any tradition of it. He said
1t might have been a puuhonua or city
of refuge; it might be that the water
was known to have healing properties;
he never heard. it always had been call
ed Waiola. He said his father had led
him up the pail from the Koolau side
and at that time house stood there.
There was trail up the valley and
over into Koolau before the white man
came and with gunpowder blasted out
the road over Nuuanu pail. Clouds of
rain began to drift in and we conclud-
ed it advisable to turn back, but I
should have liked to view the Koolau
country from the cliff at the head of
Moanalua.

MoANALUA POLO GROUNDS.

Farther up the valley we passed the
grounds of Moanalua, said to be from
their natural surroundings the most
beautiful in the world. The polo
grounds were by no means natural,
farther than that the width of the val
ley at this point gave scope for them.
The making of them involved an i'm
mensity of labor partly for the reason
that about the center stood an ancient
altar built of huge stones the carrying
of which to the site and the construc-
ton of which must. have taxed the
strength and ingenuity of the aborig-
inal inhabitants. What stories could
those stones tell of love and hate, of
the cruel religious tabus. of war and
sacrifice, and of the plaintive cries of
victims and worShiperS, They GER

with autos and running gear the oc-

of the intensely interesting sport. Any
game which involves the use of the
horse has a marvellous attraction for

MoANALUA GOLF" LINKS.

Presently we reached the famous golf
links of Moanalua which are kept in
prime condition and which from the
contour of the stream afford an in
finite variety of play for the lovers of
the game. Here we noticed several
groups of young men, bare-headed and
in shirt sleeves deeply interested in the
amusement, while at the golf house
stood several autos and carriages and
on the 1anais parties of ladies and gen
tlemen disported themselves. God bless

fords a true rest from the routine of
life and from the carking cares of bust
