tural and taro lands which 40 present
/ are under lease TO the Baldwin inter-
ests and have been utilized as pasture
lands The difficulty of keeping the
tract edectually fenced has disposed
the lessees to surrender their claim.
and as a result this fine lot of land
will no doubt soon be cut up into
homestead lots and distributed among
the natives of the district on the usual
999 year basis. The announcement Of
this decision was received by the resi-
dents with great acclaim.
The Governors party was entertain
ed for the night at the house of d. w.
Napihaa, one of the chief citizens of
the community with true Hawaiian
hospitality. An elaborate luau was
served in the evening, and the follow
ing morning a meal almost as bounti-
ful, consisting of roast pork, chicken,
and other imued delicacies A portion
OF the party was entertained for the
night at the home of Halemano.
After the dinner Monday night the
natives of the valley gathered in front
of Napihaas home and no less than
nine speeches were made by members
of the party, besides a lot of interro-
cations of the officials on land mat
tiers, titles, etc.
The following morning the party
was again in the saddle by s o'clock,
and after looking over some homestead
lots at Waialua, about two miles from
Keanae, and examining the landing,
which, by the way is very rough one,
and at which Superintendent Campbell
announced his intention of establish
ing a power derrick for handling
freight, at once, the Koolau ditch trail
was' again taken for the fifteen-mile
ride to Manager Pogue's home.
This part of the trip was one of the
finest, from a scenic standpoint, of any
on the entire trip. 1t is one, which
! from its difficulties and distance from
sea ports is not often made by tourists
but might well repay anyone for the
trouble and pains. The trial is good
and well maze, having been made and
maintained by the Ditch company, but
it winds about the heads of gulches
sometimes a thousand feet up on the
side of pail, from which the view is
magnificent and awe-inspiring; while
numberless cascades and rushing
mountain torrents, through heavily
wooded and ragged country, leaves a
picture on the memory that can never
be effaced. 1t was over this trail that
THE Longworth party was taken after
the trip through the Haleakala era
ter, Mrs. Longworth very gamely en-
during the fatigue of the long horse
back ride, and declaring at the end
that she had never seen scenery of
such beauty anywhere she had been.
The same comments are made regard
ing it by almost everybody who has
had the good frtune to see it.
At Manager Pogue's place the party
met with the most hospitable recep-
ton at the hands Of the genial man
ager and his wife, not to mention the
fourteen children Of this typical Roose-
welt family who formed a part of the
reception committee. After an excel
lent dinner at which the party man
aged to dispose of two pigs and vast
amount of other edibles, the Governor
addressed an assemblage of natives
who gathered in the grounds in front
of the home.
The Governors chief theme in all of
his addresses to the Hawaiians is good
He points out to them the
Importance of their electing good men
to represent them in the legislature, !
and OF pulling together, as we'll as of
the necessity of taking an active and
independent stand and working, as in
dividuals for the things that effect
the welfare of the people At the
speech in question, the Governors re-
marks were interpreted by Mr.. Pogue,
who speaks the tongue fluently, hav-
ing been porn and reared most of his
life in the Territory.
From Pogue's place the party took
carriages and automobiles for the sew
enteen miles to Paia and Makawao, the
Governor and a part of the party being
entertained until this evening at the
latter place by w. o. Aiken and his
wife, while the rest stayed at Paia,
until today, when all started out again
and spent this afternoon looking over
land under the guidance of H. P. and
Harry A. Baldwin, and w. o. Aiken,
who is the Land Agent of the County.
This land examined is some of which
the Baldwin interests wish to exchange
for other lands owned by the Terri
tory, and which 1t is proposed to open
for settlement
The party starts at O'Clock tonight
for the ascent OF Mt Haleakala.
