KIHBl COMPANY DECIDES TO
SELL.

The Kihei deal was approved by
the stockholders at yesterday s
meeting, and will now be carried
through. Over fouI-fifths of the
stock was represented at the meet
ing, and there was practically no
opposition to the plan1 which
Chairman II. p. Baldwin discussed
as follows:
"Kihei has been a great disap'
pointment to us all. 1t has been
a great disappointment to me. |
have struggled long to make it pay
and l am among the heaviest losers
in having to abandon the planta-
ton. 1t is q thorn in my flesh to
think that so many have lost in
this venture. Every other thing |
have attempted in the sugar bust
ness is a success. We had wrong
information, at least | had, regard
ing the cost OF pumping with the
high lift pumps and the expense
was greater than we had antici-
pated.
81 think now that it would be bet
ter to sell to some already existing
large plantation, which perhaps
can do something with 1t. While
we are all going to lose heavily by
this, yet | think it is the best thing
to do and | think that there is a
good prospect now of being able to
put through the deal. You all
know who the prospective buyers
are, but | will not announce them
as complications may. arise. There
has been some little complication
already but | think now that the
negotiations can be put through
and the company receive $500,00C
net for the stockholders"
The formal agreement was read
hy =. P. Cooke, and was as follows
"Whereas, The Kihei Planta,

since its commencement produced
sugar at profit; and
"Whereas, There is no present
prospect of change in this re-
