Especial star Bulletin Correspondence
WAILUKU, Jan. 2S.-By far the
most interesting business transaction
affecting Maui for some months is the
sale of the Kipahulu Plantation, which
is reported to have taken place re-
Gently. H. Hackfeld & Co. were the
owners of the plantation. which turn
ed out last year 2126 tons of sugar,
and which never has yielded much
higher than $500 tons any one sea-
sen. The capital stock amounts to
1900 shares at 500 a share par value.
The purchase price so far has been
kept from the public, but the report
is that the small holdings, which are
in fee simple or through lease, were
secured at very low figure.
Until recently it WIS confidently ex'
.pected that the Kipahulu Plantation
would go entirely out of business. The
mill is an old one, and it was thought
that sugar raising on the rough fields
of Kipahulu would not pay sufficiently
to erect new mill No crop has been
planted during the present year, SO
there will be no 1916 crop. Ratoons
only are now being taken off the
fields.
The purchasers of the holdings are
said to be John Fassoth, who was
formerly the manager of the Waimea
Sugar Company of Kauai, and VIII
liam Williamson of the. firm OF VIII
hanson & Buttolph of Honolulu,
The latter firm will be agents for the
purchasers.
1t is expected that the present mill
will be shortly abandoned and a new
one erected near the steamer landing.
To this point the cane can be easily
flumed. and much hauling will there
by be saved.
The change of ownership of Kipa.
hulu has been the cause of consider
able comment by Maui peoples particu-
larly in the Hama district, and there
seems to be general satisfaction ex.
pressed that the Kipahulu plantation
is not to be closed out.
Last Thursday afternoon the tuner.
al of C. H. White took place at the
Church of the Good Shepherd, Wailu-
ku, Rev. j. Charles Villiers, rector OF
the church, officiating.
The sympathy. of Maui people has
been extended to Mr.. White during
the last few weeks since he came to
the island. He hoped to enter the
Fred Baldwin Memorial HOME. Being
in too sick a condition fof any place
other than a hospital he was taken
Just before Christmas to the Mahulani
hospital in Wailuku, where he was
given every possible care by the SIS
tiers and the Wailuku physicians. Drs.
Osmers and Rothrock
His illness began on Hawaii, where
he was accidentally scalded while
taking a Japanese bath in one of the
bath houses OF KaiIua Rheumatism
and other troubles had for some time
afflicted him, and he was able to do
very little work. He was determined
to work, however. and the day be
fore Christmas told one of the Wailu-
ku citizens who called upon him that
he would be in the hospital but a
short time and then would try to earn
his living once more. A state of coma
soon overlook him, and his passing
away was a mercy, because of the
terrible. condition he was in during
the last part of his life
Mr.. White was well known citizen
of the islands and for many years re-
sided here Having been educated in
