After twenty busy years in Hawaii,
Elmer f. Paxton, who has had a large
share in the developments of the sugar
industry Of the Territory, has decided
to leave Hpnoluln for San Francisco,
and will sail for. his new home about
the end Of April, Mr.. PnxIon's depart
IRE viii leave vacancies on the boaris
of directors Of abont a score of HAVE,
iian corporations and numerous civic
and commercial eommittees.
Mr.. Paxton came to Honolulu twenty
years ago and, became associated with
y. i. Dillingham; in the organization
and extension Of the various sugar
plantations served by. the Dillingham;
railroads on this Island. and on Hn;
wall. During that period, with james
Low, Mr. Paxton started the Honolulu
plantation. In 1904 Mr.. Paxton be-
came the first manager of the Sugar
Factors Company, which has since
grown into Importance in the handling
Of the Hawaiian crop. A. year, later
/ he entered the employment OF Alexan-
der ( Baldwin, Of which corporation he
has been secretary, for some time, Dnr-
ing his business career here Mr. Paxton
has been prominent in chamber OF com,
merce affairs and general civic matters,

ers, but his departure does not wholly
sever his connection with Alexander &
Baldwin.
| This mining proposition, of which
Mr.. Paxton will have charge, islpar,
italy developed, and in the opinion Of
experts promises large returns, but has
hung ERE for several years for lack Of
capital and certain disagreements be-
tween the San Francisco and Honolulu
stockholders. These have all been ad-
justed, and small amount Of stock
is now quietly being placed locally,
most Of which has already been taken
up, for the purpose of installing new
cqneentrating process, under English
patents, that is being rapidly adopted
by most of the great copper mines the
world over. Mr.. Paxton expects the
proposition to be put on paying basis
within a comparatively short time.
Regrets Leaving.
In speaking Of the matter, Mr.. Pax
ton said:
~ cannot express my, regret in vol.
unfairly giving up, after period Of
nearly nine year, my associations with
the firm in Honolulu and with the vari,
Gus boards of directors represented by
the firm, ana with all of whom my re-
lations have been and are most pleas
ant and harmonious.
/ IT is, however, a matter of great
satisfaction TO me that at the request
Of the president and board of directors
of Alexander Baldwin, / will still be
closely identified with the firm through
the medium Of its San Francisco Office.
It viii Still Be Hawaiian.
/ Ny sole and only reason for max.
ing this change is to take advantage
| OF what appears TO be, an attractive
business, opportunity and at the same
time improve my health by outdoor life
a. portion, of the time. / am going to
retain, IL possible, what interests I
have here, because I have, faith In the
future OF, Hawaii, in spite of, the pres
