KAMAAINA's REJoINDER.
To the Editor of The Sun.

To the Editor of The Sun.
Sir: l have read with interest, if not
edification, an article in The Sun OF
January 80 relating to the Hawaiian
land question. apropos of the purchase
of a small island of the group, called
Lanai, by a Mr.. Gay.
I lived on the island four years, and
what knowledge I have of the situation
there is first hand. I am related to one
of the four '-feudal families that are
said in the article to control the Island
of Kauai; so that I am not without in
terest in this matter. Still. what i
have to say is, believe, unprecedented
and founded on fact.
In regard to the settling of the Ha-
waiian Islands by small proprietors on
farms to take the place of the large
plantations, President Roosevelt has a
certain vivid ideal in his mind, and
sees a picture of the small American
farmer dwelling in peace and plenty
under the shade of the spreading ba-

mana tree, and his small children be-
ing nourished by the milk OF the tender
cocoanut. TO this ideal of his reit-
Grated constantly IN his MESA ges to
Congress, the Hawaiian situation must
be stretched to fit, no matter it condi-
tions in a small, isolated and tropical
country are exactly the opposite to
those found in the agricultural States
Of the Union.
The coffee industry was thoroughly
Island of Hawaii and failed. One in
superable obstacle to the success of the
agricultural industry is the lack of a
suitable market This is self-eyident
when We consider the isolation of the
islands and the limited means of trans
portation. Also. it is to be remember
ed, the aggregate population is neces>
sarily limited, or would be, and 1t is
numbers that make a local market.
There is no such smiling, fertile va
cancy'' of land in Hawaii as your COR
respondent speaks of. 1t exists merely
in his imagination. All the great plan
tations on the Island of Hawaii, unless
perhaps an exceptional few, are made
productive only by elaborate systems of
irrigation The lands where these
plantations are were formerly barren
and unproductive until American cap
ital and enterprise took hold of them
and by means of irrigation and ferti-
lization made them productive.
Behind the panoramic idea Of 100. 900
farmers engaged in raising coffee, rub
Der, tobacco, sisal, bananas, cassava
and vanilla" seem almost to discern
the gliding figures of real estate OPP
orators and promoters.
I do not know that the small farmer
idea has been so thoroughly tested in
as to be proved absolutely inn
but from an economic
it does not seem feasible,
and SO far as it has been tried it has
failed. But I can imagine no more
promising field than tropical Hawaii
for a promotion company that, we viii
say, has done business In California,

The benefit of the small farmer" who

whom would he sell these delicacies?

MYRTLE-HEALANl
WATER CARNIVAL

The Healani and Myrtle Carnival
Committee met at the Baths last even
ing and had quite discussion as to
how they were TO start in the races of
tomorrow night. After much argument
the following letter was sent to Starter
Rabbit:
February IA. 1907.
Mr.. w. H. Rabbit, Honolulu, H. t.
Dear Sir: 1 have been instructed to
inform you that you are hereby en-
powered to act as official starter for
the several swimming and diving
events to be held at the Hotel Baths.
in Honolulu, on the 18th and 23rd insts.
under the auspices of the Healani and
Myrtle boat clubs.
You are to instruct the competitors
in the several events that they are to
be started as follows, viz: Ready"
ION your marks" set" and gun
shot" Upon a foul start being made
by any one of the competitors, he shall
be penalized one second for the first
event and two seconds for the second
event. Yours very respectfully,
JOHN SOPER,
Sec, Water Carnival Committee.
The time for the pistol to crack is
drawing near and all the men are in
the pink of condition for the meet
There is sure to be a large crowd of
Myrtle and Healani hackers on hand
Saturday night to cheer their favorites
on to victory, and it is expected that
some very fast time will be made.
What little money has been laid on the
meet is at even money. but fortunately
this is feature most conspicuous by
its absence.
The relay match is attracting much
interest.
Seats are now on sale at the Baths
and they are going fast

Meanwhile, in vast, smiling, fertile
vacancy lies land which. according to
Jared G. Smith, director of the United
States agricultural experiment station
at Honolulu, would support 1O0, 00t
farmers engaged in raising rubber, to-
bacco, coffee, sisal, bananas, cassava
and vanilla and the staple food prod
ucts native to the north temperate zone
A goodly part of this vacant land is
included in the limits of Kauai, the
fourth island of the archipelago chain,
beautiful, hilly country of 544 square
miles. In poetry Kauai is called 1.-The
garden island in prose 1.-The closed
island" and closed it is to everything
typically American. 1t is owned and
controlled by four old time families,
but one of American extraction-the
W1lcoxes, Robinsons, Rices and Gays,
the latter including the Gay who wants
to get the whole island of Lanai These
families are chiefly in sugar, but their
enterprises support no other whites
than those connected directly or indi-
rectly with the cane growing and mill
ing industry. Not an acre of private
land, it is said, can be purchased on
Kauai and whenever the leases on pub
lie land expire some one of the four
reigning clans buys the property. A
tract of 800 acres is the latest portion
of the public domain on the garden
island to pass into their control.
Lanai was once fertile and we'll for
ested. but Mr.. Gay and one or two
others with their sheep have pretty
well eliminated the mountain trees and
ferns and thus reduced the rainfall and
made it easy for such rain as may fall
to run off into the sea. This policy has
cut down the selling value, so that Gay
hopes to get the island in exchange
for about 100000, exclusive of the part
he will buy from Irwin.
If he gets the property and fences in
the high lands he can raise a forest Of
and other drought resisting
trees in seven years, solve the water
problem and make fifty dollars where
ne expended one.
