went to San Francisco. In December
of that same year he sailed for the
Hawaiian Islands where he has lived
ever since. His two brothers, John
A. and Lincoln L., followed later, and
the we'll known firm of McCandless
Brothers was formed. They drilled
all the artesian wells which furnished
water for the sugar cane fields of the
island Of Oahu and the other islands
Great stretches of useless barren
wastes were turned into green en-
erald fields.

their illustrious potentate. During
this year, with Fred Hines as inn
perial potentate, Mr.. McCandless
chartered the steamer Wilhelmina of
the Matson Navigation Company and
took 140 Shriners on a pilgrimage to
Ha wall, Hilo and the volcano Of
Ki1auea, when the candidates travelled
over real hot sands.

Imperial Council session in San Fran
cisco, he was elected imperial poten-
tate. A. A. o. n. NJ. S. He has the
distinction of being the first imperial
potentate ever to be elected who lives
off the mainland of the United States.
After his election as imperial po-
tentate, he again chartered two
steamers the H. T. Alexander of the
Admiral line, and also the Matsonia
of the Matson line, and invited as his
guests the imperial divan to accom-
home in the islands, Aloha Temple,
etc. and all but three of the officers
accepted, including the retiring i'm

was in corn. The soils of the coun-
ty being mainly of a sandy nature,
are adapted to wide range of crops
and particularly to special crops
such as vegetables and fruits. How
ever, the farmers have not utilized
the soils for special crops to any
great extent, and the agriculture OF
the county has not been intensified
to any marked degree, although tho
value of the different types for diff
