The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-18
(Concluded.)

November 14.-After a dip in the
sea and breakfast, a start toward
Waialua. To the left stretches the
inevitable cane; to the right. and ahead
are sand-hills. The Kahuku mill
buildings are visible in the distance,
also the mast of the long distance
wireless station. Sight of the sea is
shut out and fill be fore several miles.
Kahuku is the terminal of the Oahu
Railway and sthe most northerly
point of the island. The place itself
is uninteresting, unless one is inter-
ested in the processes of sugar-making.
The wireless station, however, is well
worth a visit. The road runs past the
laborers camps, and practically
through the center of the settlement
Back of the mill in a slough of con-
siderable extent, the haunt of wild
duck, plover, heron and other water
fowl. The Kahuku Ranch buildings
are next passed, lying away to the
seward of the road. The sun is high
in the heavens and walking is very
warm work. The road runs between
fields of cane and there is hardly
breath of air Presently the sea burst
into view and it is a welcome sight aft

Heaven forfend Hawaii from one
certain species of gudgeon which rises
to promotion bait. Now what would
you say to a resident of the CONNER
cial metropolis of the United States
thinking so meanly of the Governor of
Hawaii-anonymously though it prob
ably is-as to imagine he would not
care to furnish information regarding
these Islands without pay? This par
ticular citizen of New York City not
only has exhibited such a contemplate
disposition in the abstract, but adds
insult to injury in the price at which
he rates our distinguished and oblig
ing Governors favor.

be ashamed to see the Governor in
any seat below the two-bit box tiers
it would indeed move them to tears to
see him condescend to even the inter-
mediary 15-cent chairs. Anyway, Ho-
nolulu people often pay more than ten
cents as a tip to their boctblacks. A

country of such wanton extravaganza
as to be no place for anybody with a
fortune to conserve.

Who looked as though he worked hard,
But his glasses and hose

The bailiffs were terriers two,
To whom all respect should be due,
For they used up their bowls
And they used up their growls,
In order that quarrels should be few.
The reporters as usual looked wise,
And as though they never told lies,
And they scratched and they wrote
And took many note,

The evidence plainly was seen,
In letters both verdant and green;
In a most handsome collar
Which cost quite dollar,
And fit to be worn by queen.

The last item was $22,50, left with
an interpreter by person accused of

French Z. Oliver.

The following letter speaks for itself
as to the work that is being done by

Rev. Geo. Ledrew Rulison,
Holyoke, Colo.
My Dear Brother:-l want to send

ing done by Rev. French E. Oliver, in
the interest of Christianity. On the 8,
day of Nov. last, Mr.. Oliver and his as
sistants, began months campaign in

for that purpose, seating 1900, and the

make no exceptions for there are none,

with me when you sit at his feet, as
have sat for one month, and to note
that all thru that period, there were no

the other hand, the standard got high

climax on that memorable Sunday night

his credit 600 souls that had been in
