THE KAPAA LANDS.
Advertisements are being prepared
for offering for sale the leases of the
Kappa and the Anahola lands on the
Island of Kappa, until lately under
lease to the Makee Sugar Company.
The lands TO be offered for lease are
the cane lands and other lands as high
up as the cane lands extend, the lands
above these being about to be opened
for homesteads. The rice lands will
also be leased separately and the town
lots will be sold.
There are about 1900 acres of sugar
lands in the Kapaa tract. 1t is so To-
Gated that the cane grown on it could
be hauled to Hanamaulu mill as well as
to Makee Sugar Company mill. In adj
dition the land is held to be highly
suitable for pineapples, and applica-
tion for it for pineapple lands has been
made to the government. As pineapple
land, it is held that there is opportun-
ity here for some interest to engage in
pineapple growing ON large scale. The
upset price for the lease will be the
appraised annual rental set by the APP
praisers who viewed the property about
a year ago. The lease will be for nine
years. This Will give opportunity for
three crops of plant cane, to be fol-
lowed by two ration crops, if the land
is leased for cane.
The Anahola lands will be offered for
"A term of fifteen years.
IL no offer at the upset rental is re-
ceived, the land will be held until some
other plans for its use for the benefit
of the public arb worked out

sugars are sold on arrival at the New
York quotation at the time of arrival.
Three hundred thousand tons or there.
abouts have been sent from here to the

tons have been kept down by buying
in Cuba instead of in New York, a
considerable portion of the whole sup.
ply has thus been bought mt prices

justified holders in expecting.
The lower rnnge of quotations for
sugar than has been universally expect
ed is n subject of discussion through.
out the current literature of the trade.
