fields and pineapples, plantations and
homesteads, over hill and down valley.
Through the mountain gap, through
historic Koloa with it's remains of the
first sugar mill ever built in Hawaii,
down into picturesque Laval with the
big pineapple mill and the Japanese
temple with its prayer boards at the
roadside and the arched concrete
bridge in the heart of the village.
Out in the valley beyond at the
Laval school 200 children waited in
the yard with American flags to wave
and cheer as the party swept past.
Much interest was taken by the Wis.

of Walter McBryde, that stands on a
once windswept hill overlooking the
peaceful valley on one side and the
sea on the other. Here Congressman
Carter of Massachusetts made a brief
talk that was heartily applauded. !
Dropping down again, to the main

to Kekaha Mill, where the party was
taken throu~h to watch the cane in
