Then one delicious Wand after another
the cream and eggs and nearly every
thing in fact being hdme-produced
came on and everything prepared with
most delicate art, and everybody be-
ing in fine spirits, with no end of Jolly
ing each other, before knowing it one
was on the outside of a breakfast fit
for a king.
Now all this should not be taken
as mere 'prattling over side details of
the gubernatorial tour. That meals
can be put upon private boards in
rural homes on these islands which
cannot be surpassed in delicacy and
nourishing quality by the cuisine of
any city hotel, and that nearly every
Wand of such meals come direct from
the land and have never been inside
of store, are facts which should have
the strongest promotion value. They
show how people who know how can
live in the country off the fruits of
their own industry or enterprise.
In the few American rural homes of
/
best current periodicals and newspa-
pers. 1t is so at the home of the An
dersons and Secretary Mott-Smith and
Private Secretary Mcbride Joined with
Mrs. Anderson and Miss Pollister to
! enliven the stay there with some fine
singing to piano accompaniment.
A most interesting event happened
during the visit. which had an equal
ly interesting sequel. The ladies have
been experimenting in the poultry line
with an incubator. Just before the
! party sat down to breakfast a chicken
I emerged from a turkey egg and an
nounced its arrival with shrill cheep-
Ing. MIS-. Anderson at once asked
! Governor Frear's consent to name the
! baby gohbler after him, which being
cordially granted the chick from, that
moment became known as "The Gov
ernor''
At the table there was talk of an
other probable arrival in the incubator
and it was unanimously voted that it
should be named THE Secretary" and
then odds were freely offered to Mr.
Mott-Smith that his namesake would
wore an air of depression all day
until, down at Nahiku Landing, he
was called from the luncheon table
at Mr. Austin's to the telephone. He
returned to announce in joyous tones
that another chicken had arrived at
Anderson's and it was a gobbler.
After breakfast Governor Frear and !
others took a stroll through the |
nearby groves to where some trees are |
soon to be tapped, directly after the /
return of Fred. Waterhouse from Cey-
lon. In general the trees are looking |
we'll. The company has 100000 trees
from two to three years old. They
are doing better than last year, when |
a kona storm did some damage. There /
are 10000 more trees in the nursery !
stage or just planted out, $4,000 of |
the Ceara and 10000 of the Hevea va
riety. The Ceara is the quicker grow
ing, but the Hevea the longer lasting
for profitable tapping.
With a cordial leavetaking of the
hospitable Andersons the cavalcade
moved on for an inspection by Su-
perintendent Marston Campbell of the
landing. At least that was the word,
but there was whole lot of enjoy
able experience between places. A
halt was called little way out while !
Governor Frear inspected the Ulaino
school, where Samuel Hawaiaea car
ries on three grades in a single room.
Farther along the party We're met
by c. j. Austin, formerly Mr. Craw's
chief assistant in plant inspection at
Honolulu, who is now manager of the
Hawaiian American Rubber Co. Mr..
Austin has $4,000 of the Ceara trees
well advanced and $4,000 of the Hevea
coming along. He tells me that the /
Hevds are growing beautifully, in
fact vying with the Cearas in rapidity
of development
We passed in sight of a rubber plan
tation started by Hon. H. P. Baldwin.
II is in charge of Mr.. Sylvester, whose
wife and two little sons Joined him
from Portland, Maine, only last week.
he having been in the islands over a
year. Mr.. Sylvester has planted 100
acres. or about 10000 trees, but saws
he will not plant so close as 400 trees
to the acre this year. He is also
changing from Ceara to Hevea. (
You ought to impress on people,"
Mr.. Austin said to me, that rubber
requires as much cultivation as any
plant in the world, because there is
wrong impression that rubber will
take care of ITSELF
In a beautiful tropic home near the
landing we met Mrs. Austin. mother
of the manager, together with the
Sylvesters- Here a sumptuous lunch
con. presided over by Mrs. Austin. was
enjoyed by the party. Again were
delicacies of home cookery in evidence.
Immediately on arrival all were re-
freshed with glasses of grape Juice.
Joviality abounded at the table. the
good-natured badinage ending in linn
