which was then carried back to the top
of the cliff by the same route.
When Kamehameh1 discovered this,
it was all up with Kahekili, and one
of the most famous s:eges in ancient
or modern times ended with the de-
struction of the courageous garrison.
Later in the morning Governor Frear
and the ~other members of the admins
tration attended the Hama church SER
vice and listened to a sermon in Ra-
waiian by the pastor, the Rev. l.. 3.
Kumeheiwi, and then at the close of
the service the Governor made a short
address to the large congregation gath
cred to hear him. His remarks were
interpreted by District Magistrate l..
K. Kakani.
The Governors address was of a
practical kind and aimed at the Ha-
waiians as a people. After remarking
at some length on the imposing natu-
real beauties of Hama and it's environs
which he said should be calculated to
develop the superior qualities of peo-
pie so that it would seem as though
the handsomely uniformed police Off
GERS of Hama, judge, courthouse, ETC.,
would be superfluous, he touched on
the economic history of the Territory,
and drew attention to the progress and
prosperity which attended the people
of the various islands, whenever they
were under the rule OF humane and in
telligent kings or rulers. This ne
pointed out has continued with broad
er civilization, and he drew a picture
of bright future for the Territory
with the rapid increase of Pacific
ocean traffic, with millions of dollars
to be spent by the federal government
for Notifications, harbor improve
ments, lighthouses, etc.
But he emphasized the necessity of
the Hawaiians working for good gov
eminent, and their recognition of the
fact that upon the interest and integ-
rity of each voter, working in har-
mony for good ends, with all the rest,
depends the character of government
which they will have. Good men must
be elected for office: men who think OF
other things than remuneration for
themselves or their friends.
The speech was amply illustrated
all the way through, and appeared to
be understood and appreciated. At its
close almost everybody in the church
crowded up in front to shake hands
with the Governor before leaving.
All Sunday afternoon was spent in
the saddle and some fifteen miles were
covered in a trip to Waialua Gulch
and back. The ride started in heavy
rain, but the clouds cleared within an
hour and the remainder of the day
was very pleasant.
Aside from the higher slopes of
mountain land, which is principally
forest reserve, the Territory owns lit
tie land in this part of the Coast. Wal
alua Gulch, the end Of the road and
the end of the ride is all owned by the
Territory, but it's chief value is in its
splendid water supply, which however
is under lease by the Kaeleku Plan
tatioon at Maui, to which the waters
are carried by fume and ditch. The
scenery of the Gulch is especially beau
tiful and vegetation on the small
benches and slopes is at its most lux
uriant. Elsewhere between Hama and
this point, the rainfall is deficient and
the country is rough and not especial
ly attractive.
A large acreage of the lands former
ly under cultivation for cane by the
Hamoa Plantation Company, is
now abandoned to lantana and guava.
This lies few miles outside of Hama
