two or three feet high but protecting
the trees in the next row so that they
rise a little higher, and so on to the

Mr.. and Mrs. Kinney were met near
the Lihue courthouse by a carriage
and went at once to Laval where the
entire party met later.
AT MANAGER WEBER'S.
Arriving at Manager Weber's resi-
dence the Secretary and the entire par
ty were greeted by Mrs. Weber, and a
delicious breakfast was served. The
party at breakfast included besides the
Secretary and Governor Frear, George
II. Fairchild, Senator Gandall, George
n. Wilcox. A. S. Wilcox, Charles Rice,
H. D. Wishard, William H. Rice Jr.,
J. K. Farley, Augustus Knudsen, J.
A Hogg,. Charles L. Rhodes, Col. Geo.
De La Vergne. j. H. Coney, Judge
Hardy and d. p. r. Isenberg.
Immediately after breakfast Secre-
tary Garfield and Governor Frear were
taken by George H. Fairchild in his
auto for a look at the Kapaa and other
government lands involved in the plans
for their settlement Manager Weber
accompanied them. AS the party pass
ed through the separate lands involv-
ed. government and privately
lands alternating, their character and
situation were explained to the Sec>
retary by the aid of map. The Sec
Iretary was taken up through the Ana
hola lands as far as the 100000 600 gall
Ion reservoir. This was to give the
Secretary an opportunity to see the
character of the reservoir sites there
are on the land and the method of
constructing the reservoirs.
Not far from this reservoir is Wal
pahee, famous in Hawaiian legends,
! where Hawaiian sovereigns, from Kau-
mualii down, have enjoyed the sensa-
tion of sliding down a cascade which
here forms a water toboggan. On
hearing of it, Secretary Garfield eX-
pressed wish to see it, and the party
started off on the trail leading to it,
nearly half a mile away. 1t is a pic
turesque spot and the gurgling stream
was a temptation to enjoy al once the
running water and sport of kings slid
ing down the cascade, but time did not
permit, and the return to Lihue began.
WITH MANAGER FAIRCHILD.
AT the Off1ce OF the MakSe sugar
Company, where a short stop was
made for gasoline for the auto, Mr..
Fairchild furnished the Secretary with
data in regard to the volume of water
supplied by the various streams of the
lands in question, the reservoir ca
pacity and other data of value in the
Secretary's Investigations. Between
the maps and traversing through the
lands and the explanations made. the
Secretary gained fairly complete out
line view of the situation. Governor
Frear. in speaking to the Secretary
of the Kapaa land negotiations, said
that the plantation had kept wonder
fully complete and detailed records
and statistics of physical conditions
as we'll as plantation operations, and
that Mr.. Fairchild had placed all
these at the disposal of the govern
ment.
Time did not permit stop for the
hospitalities at the Fairchild place,
and the return from kealia TO Lihue,
twelve miles, was made in record
breaking time. though the machine
was kept by Mr. Fairchild under such
perfect control, and was SO carefully
driven. that the Secretary, who does
not approve of scorching, expressed
himself as feeling perfect confidence
and assurance.
