LAWRENCE KIP ONCE
LIVED IN HONOLULU

Chronicle.-A romantic disposition is
of the domestic establishment started
some seven years ago by Lawrence
Kip, famous at one time in this city
for a handsome face, winning ways
and a love of adventure. His family
connections were of the best, his grand
father having been the famous Bishop
Kip, the first Bishop of California, and
Others of his relatives noted for their
philanthropy.
Kip, who was an attorney at law,
without ever having done anything Sc
riously wicked, was considered as a
sort of black sheep by some of the
more severe of his family, and when
he fell in love with Miss Villa Dick of
this city, there was opposition from
several quarters. But this did moi
bother Kip in the least, and his mar
riage took place under all those ro
mantle surroundings which were dear
to his heart. But happiness, though il
at first rested in unusual measure OF
the home thus founded, did not CONF
to stay. Kip was born nomad, ant
soon drifted TO the Hawaiian Islands

MAY BUY LAND
FROM ". c. IRWIN
PRICE MENTIONED IS $35o,o0o
Hui Plans Purchase of Island for
Establishment of Cotton
Plantation.
'RlcE MENTIONED is Sa5o,ooO

The basin of Kalawai, on the Island
of Lanai, comprising about 10000 acres
of the best agricultural land on the
island, is to be turned into huge cot
ton plantation, if the plans now under
way are carried through and the OPP
ton on the entire island, held by j.
T. McCrosson, Francis Gay, Aubrey
Robinson and Frank Thompson, is
taken up. Whether or not the option
will be taken up depends upon the
conclusion reached by the persons
named, after an investigation Of La
mai which they have just concluded in
company with Doctor Wilcox, the cot
ton expert.
The negotiations for the purchase of
the Island of Lanai from w. g. irwin
were begun in San Francisco recently
and an option was given, the exact
figures of which were not made public,
but which are understood to be $780,
600. The price at which Irwin offers
to sell Lanai is said to be $350,000.
The success of the proposed enter
prise will, naturally, depend chiefly
upon the possibilities of conserving the
water supply. As Mi. McCrosson is
one of the chief water experts of the
Islands. having been connected with
the construction of the Kohala ditch
and the Hamakua ditch, he should be
able to Judge whether or not water
conservation is feasible. The plan, 1t
| is understood. is to tunnel and bring
| through the Maunalei waters, which
have their source in living springs.
In addition to this, it is proposed to
kill off the countless goats that infest
the island and which have ruined vir-
tuallv all the vegetation which is not
protected, and to plant trees over the
| island
The Island of Lanai consists of about
100000 acres, all of which is owned il
fee simple by w. G. Irwin, who re
Gently foreclosed the mortgage he hello
from Charles Gay. Mr.. Gay is still
living on the island, but has no in
terest in it.
The party which has been on Lana
looking it over with an eye to cotton
growing possibilities will return this
morning, and it is expected that the
negotiations will come to head very
soon. 1t it understood that NJ. Irwin
fore he left here he stated that h,
had had two propositions made hin
for its purchase The Waterhous,
Trust Company is representing w. G
Irwin in the proposed deal.

GOVERNMENT WAY
TAKE MONUMENT

BY the receipt by Acting Governor
Mott-Smith yesterday of letter from
the department of the interior, the
Cook monument at Kealakekua Bay,
Hawaii, is again before the authori.
ties. A movement was started some
time ago to have this monument taken
over by the federal government and
made the center of national park,
At the present time it belongs, or from
the tenor of this last letter is sup.
posed to belong, to Great Britain.
Departmental authorities now express
some doubt as to whether, in the days
of the monarchy, a deed was ever
given to Great Britain for the land.
This doubt was expressed some time
ago and the Territory was asked to
hunt for it. Renewed activity will
now be gwen to the matter, and il
will soon be decided as to who owns
the monument aud surrounding land.
| Formerly, England used to send a
ship to Kealakekua bay once yeal
to fix up the grounds and see that the
monument was in good condition, but
this practise has been given up. The
place is now overrun with weeds ant
is looking bad. 1t is hoped by all, ant
the residents of the district were tho
first to circulate the petition, tina
either the government will take it Owe
from England, if it is found that Eng
land owns it, or that it will hurry anC
fix the place up if it finds that il

A MISS IS AS
GOOD As A MILE

Delegate Kuhio did not leave for Ha-
wall yesterday noon as he expected, to
make tour of the island and show
himself to the people, He missed the
boat-missed it by only two minutes,
but in that case two minutes was as
good as a mile.
However, the delegate has not aban-
doned his plan of visiting the Big Is
land and making trip around it to talk
to the voters. He is personally not at
all anxious to make the trip, which
he knows win be tiresome one, but
he realizes that the people of Hawaii
want to see him and that it is up to
him, in the interests of his party, to
make them visit. 1t is probable that
he will go up either later in the week
or by the next Mauna Kea. In that
case, he will not be able to leave fol
Washington before December 10.
However, Governor Frear Will be on
the ground and can look after the in
| terests of Hawaii if anything comes up
| before congress that affects this Terri
tory. In case he does not leave before
the 18th, the delegate will not reach
Washington until after the Christina:
recess.
The committees on territories will
probably hold some session before that
time, however, and some of the dele
gate IS friends are urging him to cut ou
the Hawaii trip and leaves for Wash
ington on the next boat.
