THE GOVERNORS
OUTSIDE TRIP
(Staf Correspondence.l

/ Steamer Claudine, March 6, 10 p. m
IA delightful trip is being made b,
the Governor party and the othe
passengers. Ever since leaving Homo
lulu the sea. has been smooth, with
| light trade breeze, and the motion o
the boat is comparatively impereeptible
1t is expected to meet the Kinau a
Lahaina at midnight.
Arriving at Kahului at 6 a. m, tn
officials will have until noon to lool
about that town and Waikiki, beside
visiting the largest sugar mill in tn
world, before reembsrking in the Clau
dine for Hama.
Hon. H. P. Baldwin invited the Gov
ernor and members of his official fami
" on board, ere the steamer had got
well off port, to breakfast with hin
at his Spreekelsville residence, after.
ward to look through Puunene mill anG
go anywhere else they chose in the
neighborhood. Automobiles would bs
at their service. The invitation was
accepted.
FIRST FEW DAYS.
Governor Frear has given me gen.
eral outline of the itinerary for the
first few days of the tour, substan-
TALLY as follows:
"After having breakfast at Mr..
Baldwin 5 residence and going through
the MILL. we shall return to Kahului
and see where they are laying out the
town. An inspection of the break
water there will be made and we shall
see what the people want done. You
know the Kahului Railroad Co. has ex-
pended 100000 on the breakwater.
Something ought to be done for the
port by the Federal government, in
keeping with the idea thae each is
land should have at least one good
harbOr.
From Kahului we are to land at
Hama and the first homesteads visited
will be through the rubber region as
far as Keanae. Perhaps the first day
we may ride out to Kipahulu, where
there are some water rights to look
into.
''There is some land to be exam
ipaJ in +ba raUinp of Kaapaa which
is now under lease having fifteen years
to run. The lessees are willing to
homestead the land. There are still
some lots through the rubber coun-
try not taken up.
son Monday proposed exchange of
road lands in Hama will be looked in
to. There is an outstanding question
of compensation on account of cane
land taken for roads.
''In the region of Makawao pro-
posal is pending for an exchange of
land, that would be good for cane
when the ditch is extended. for lands
that would be good for pineapples and
therefore for homesteads.
"At Ulupalakua there is land under
lease, part of which may be homestead
ed and part reserved for forest pur-
poses. Perhaps an alteration of the
terms of lease may be effected to con-
form to the present conditions which
are different to those existing when the
lease was made.
"There will be no public hearings
We shall deal with the people inter
ested.
GA look will be taken at the Kula
1 have not been there
for a long time.
Interesting matters will be seen all
along the route, for instance the pine
apple growing and canning in Haiku,
where pineapples are said to do better
than anywhere else in the islands,"
Commissioner Pratt is in general
charge of the arrangements for the
tour of the island. As to his own de-
Dartment, what the Governor has given
put above may suffice as an advance
statement.
- PUBLIC WORKS.
Superintendent Marston Campbell |
gave an outline of the bearings of |
he executive visit upon public works
g am going to make an investiga-
ion of the landings and derrieks on
he island" Mr. Campbell said. ''We
rave just finished lot of new work
IN some of the landings.
