the expense of cultivatiig and planting
their holdings. They each have their
garden plot wherein fruit and vege-
tables for domestic use are grown. A
few chickens and pig help matters
out wonderfully. Then they each grow
their own taro and pound their own
poi, and there are always fish in the
sea when the weather is fair enough
to permit of their being caught.
Ten, even five years ago, the place
was much poorer than OF is today
There was no store to speak Of, for
the simple reason that there was no
money to be earned by the jewellers in
the district with which to pay for
things purchased at the store. This
state of affairs is changed today, how
ever. The starting of the Hauuia
plantation afforded employment for all
who wanted it and now work on the
Kaluanui and Kahana roads will keep
all hands employed for some time to
come.
The extension of the railway from
Kahuku to Kahana has helped the dis
trict wonderfully. New houses are
springing up, old ones have been re-
paired and houses long deserted are
again peopled by families who forsook
the country for town and who have
come back to the land again.
There is a very good store at Hauula
today and visitors can be put up very
comfortably and at a reasonable rate
by Mr.. Aubrey, the station agent and
proprietor of the store. The water
fall of Kaliwaa is well worth visit,
the ascent being of an especially
charming nature. 1t is well to take
a day to do" the falls, making an en-
joyable picnic of the jaunt.
The sportsman will find fair dove
shooting near Hauula and the fisher
man sport enough to keep him busy
as long as he cares to pursue it. He
may sit by the roadside and fish with a
stout hand-line for great ulua or the
game oio. This by day or night. If
the latter he should arrange piece of
mating so as to form a wind-break
and tie his line to a toe in case he
falls asleep. In case Of a bite from
an ulua of any size he will rise to the
occasion, suddenly if not gracefully.
Or he may wade out to the brown
coral reef and fish in the deep pools
and Dreaming surf for rainbow-colored
fish which will test his skill and
strength to the uttermost limit. Or
he may place a net for the toothsome
cray-fish, or set a net at right angles
to the shore for any fish, great or
small, which may be skirting the wa
terline; only, as often happens, If they
De too great they go right through
the net, leaving a neat hole behind
them as memento of their visit Or
he may make friends with old Nui,
most famous of fishermen between Ka-
huku and Kuloa, and prevail on him to
take him out to deep water in his
canoe and show him fishing secrets
which he alone remembers and prac-
tises today, and to tell him wonderful
tales of sea monsters that he has met.
No, most assuredly time needn't hang
heavily on the hands of a fisherman
at Hauula, provided the day be rea-
sonably fine.
With its grand scenery-landscape
seascape and skyscape, with its access
sibility, with it's attractions for the
sportsman, the health-seeksr and the
investigator of fast-vanishing native
life. it seems safe to predict that It
won't be many years before Hauula is
as popular a pleasure resort as Waia-
lua is today,
