trip through the Kalaheo
homesteads OF Kauai.
These homesteads on the upper
lands OF public area recently under
lease to the McBryde sugar planta-
ton represent the practical working
cut Of the land-settlement policy in
which the actual tiller Of the soil fig-
ures as an honest factor. There is
no large tract Of land settled" by
persons who live on Il long enough
to prove up and then hire others
to do the work.
Five acres and house furnish the
nucleus OF the Kalaheo homestead.
The father, sons and sometimes the
daughters work on the adjoining SUI
gar plantations. The five-acre home
furnishes vegetables for the house
hold and pineapples for the cannery.
The scheme is especially attractive to
the European immigrant who comes
to Hawaii to work, rather than to get
control of lot Of land and perhaps
incorporate and operate 1t with 6ri-
entail labor, while he rides in an au-
tomobile.

THE ANAHoLA LANDING on the
Island of Kauai is going to rack
and ruin, and unless something
is done by the Territory 1t will
soon be in the condition of the COM
plete ruin that now marks the old
Kappa landing.
Meanwhile the Makee Sugar Com
pany is building private breakwa-
ter at Kealia. This, when 1t is COM
pleted, will allow large vessel to
lie at the proposed wharf and give
Kauai Its first fully protected land
ing.
When the Anahola landing goes to
pieccs--as II is likely to. do In n
heavy storm--the people will again
be at the mercy OF the plantations,
for no other reason than the failure
of the Territory to take care of the
public landing.

FORT PLAIN y. Y. June 1S.-Tcn
Italian laborers who lived in a car on a
siding of the West Shore railroad here
were held up by armed robbsrs at mid
night and forced TO hand over more than
500. which they had received i'll wages
yesterday.
One of the Italians, who resisted, was
probably fatally wounded, and an outsider
to brighten the robbers away was over
powered. bound. gagged and his pockets
rified The robbers escaped with their
booty, leaving behind no. IA clue by which
they could be traced.
The Italians had no opportunity to place
the money in bank yesterday, and so Sc
GREETED 1t i'll the car when they retired last
night. About midnight the robbers forced
an entrance, and when the Italians awoke
they found themselves covered with four
reVOlverS in the hands of two men, while
a third man, armed with Il knife, ordered
them TO come forward one by one and
turn over all their money to him.
Everything went SmoOt hly and the hea D
of banknotes and silver at the robbers
feet was growing to formidable proper
TONS when one of the Italians rebetled.
\ moment later the unfortunate man lay
dying on the floor Of the car with a knife
wound half way through his body. From
that time to the end the task of the rob-
bers Was an easy one Even when u
foreman of laborers who lived nearby and
had been attracted by the commotion,
sought to brighten The robbers away by
hurting stones at the car, they took time
to complete their work and gather up
everything of value in sight. Then they
turned their attention to the foreman
and when they fled they carried with
them his months wages, as well the
money they had taken from the occupants
of the car.
