HILO, Hawaitan Islands, December 10, 1897. It is by the steamship Kinau that one goes from Honolulu to Hilo, on the trip to the greatest active volcano in the world— Kilauea—and at the same time to the new coffee plantations, which promise to equal, if not surpass the sugar industry of the Hawalian Islands. As 4 roller, pitcher and twister, the Kinau has no rival on the Pacific. Were it not for her genial cap- tain, purser, steward and picturesque na- tive crew, this erratic little craft would have been long stnce mentally consigned to, the bottom of the sea, by suffering tourists from all parts of the ‘globe. It is a two days’ trip from Honolulu to Hilo. The sall among the beautiful is- lands with thetr ever changing scenery, is a delight to the eye, while the frequent landings by the ship’s boats add a novel interest and often excitement, to the ordinary manner of entering port, where there are docks and wharves. Ha- waiians are natural sailors, and strangely quiet people. To the Anglo-Saxon they are a study. Every one of the Kinau's barefoot crew is an athlete—tall, broad- shouldered, erect and strong. When at rest they lounge on the deck in little half sleepy groups, with an occasional drift into undertone conversation, and though Possessed of a genuine sense of humor, it never finds expression in loud or boisterous demonstration. Apparently there is no interest beyond the warmth of the brilliant sunshine and their simple meal of poi and fish. But the Instant an order is given, they respond with quick, noiseless ges- tures, full of life, energy and thorough knowledge of duty. It is not always pleas- ant or easy duty, for landings are often difficult and dangerous against rough seas and rocky shores, and made at any time of night, with np light save the ship lan- terns. But the Hawaiian crews never lose their heads through fear of danger or excitement, and what is striking, pro- fanity is seldom or never heard, even when loading cattle, which is done in a curious way, aften hard on the men and at much disadvantage. This is not simply disci- pline, It is the Hawalian character. A Modern Little City. Nature has done everything fcr Hilo, situated on one of the most beautiful bays in the world, having one of the finest har- bors in the Pacitic. Hilo has a four-thou- send population, three thousand electric lights, telephones (in nearly every house and a complete system of up-to-date water works. It is a town of churches and schools, public brary, literary clubs, two well-conducted newspapers, many hand- some private residences, and a fine new hotel, recently opened, is on the cottage plan. The bicycle also is abroad in Hilo— everybody, Anglo-Saxon, Hawaiians, Chi- nese, Japanese and Portuguese, all spin the wheel, and women and children rido mere on pesseb enh than anywhere else in the ‘world. There is a good deal of wealth and culture, fine social life, and a delightful hospitality to strangers. “Hilo pecple have almost everything they desire except a direct line of steamships to San Francisco, which''they say would place them on equal footing with Honolulu. There is no doubt, that direct communica~ tfon with the “coast'’—all islanders call San Franctsco the ‘“‘coas ‘would give the boom to Hild that would soon make it a formidable rival of Honolulu. It has the extent of country back of it, which makes the greater part of the sugar business, and also what may become a second greater industry, in coffee. It is above Hilo that the government has opened up to settle- ment the coffee lands, formerly crown lands, under the monarchy. Coffee is by no Means new on the Island of Hawail. On the leeward side of the island is the Kona district, famous for Kona coffee, which to- day brings the highest price in the mar- ket, except Java and Mocha. The New Coffee Industry. But here on the windward side, where sugar left everything else behind, little attention was given to coffee until four years ago, when the government ope these lanés, its policy being to encou settlement by small farmers and investors of moderate means. There had been the belief that coffee would not flourish near the sea, nor at an clevation above ten miles from Hilo. But actual experience proves that it will do well in this climate and soil, very nearly at sea level, and a’so that some of the most promising new plantations are twenty-four miles above Hilo, but six miles from the volcano, an elevation of 4,000 feet above the sea. ‘This is the Olaa district, where the soil is very rich, soft and porous, and especially adapt- ed to coffee production, and at the same time grows all tropical fruits arfd most products of the temperate zone. ‘The coffee lands are along the line of the “New Volcano road,” and the first big coffee fields are the Peter Lee plantation, eleven miles ubove Hilo. The Coffee Belt. Three years ago the “Peter Lee edict” said here was the limit in altitude for cof- fee. But today there are fifty plantations all higher, and Mr. Lee, who ts widely known as the popular manager of the Volcano House, now thinks the limit may be fixed at the crater of Kilauea. While there is difference of opinion as to the most favorable conditions for the cultivation of coffee, the majority of planters, when clearing lands, leave an edge of forest as protection for the trees against wind and too much exposure. The Peter Lee planta- tion, however, stands out in the open, beautiful, healthy trees, less than three years old, many of them now in good bear- ing. There is also the question of shade and partial clearing of lands, the former holding the moisture in the soil, the latter enriching it, as claimed by some planters. But the Capital Coffee Company plantation is without shade and is clean cleared. The trees on this plantation are only sixteen months old from the seed, and now stand nearly four feet high Some of the best plantations are owned by Japanese—notably the Hoshina plantation, one of the finest in Olaa. Grossman, Brothers, two enterprising young Amerigans, have a big plantation eighteen miledifrom Hilo—200 acres, and 100 in trees threc years old. Coffee trees are generally planted about six feet apart, so it will be seeh that 100 acres in trees is a large plantation; and when in bearing the fifth year, even with the moderate average of two pounds, to the tree, yields a “pile” of coffee. Some estimates give the fifth year’s yield at 60,000 pounds on 50 acres, and say the*wsevernth year, when in full bearing, this yield is doubled. However, as the new plantatigns are yet under four years’ growth the full bearing average may less than now esti- mated. Of cdurse! the promising outlook for the coffeé) industry ‘has increased the price of landsjin the Olaa district, and most of the 20,000 acres originally surveyed has been sold, li ate or none remaining along the “New Volcano road.’ The government is preparing to open a second tract for settlement, equally desirable when the | roads now being built are completed. ‘The Half-Way House. Half way up the “New Volcano road” is the Mountain View Hotel, the resting place for stages, with “volcanic tourists” and other people. At the turn of the lane is a “store of general Seycerevered The hotel is on an elevation, the approach is. through a field of coffee trees, whose rich; dark green leaves are in beautiful contrast with the border of pink roses in full bloom along the path.: This is the out- look from one side of the piazza, and from the other one looks down vista straight as an arrow for miles through the tropical forest. Mountain View Hotel is owned by V. M. Fulcher, a Tennessee Yankee of op- timistic temperament. and a practical busi- ness man, who would he termed a -“hust- Jer” in the United: States. Mr. Fulcher’s home {is five miles above, at the twenty- unknown | three-mile point, where his family live in| @ pretty cottage, and back of it is the cof- fee plantations, also corn fields, fruit or- chard, vegetable garden and other evi- dences of small farming which he has on hand while the coffee trees are wing. He believes in coffee and in many things promising a bright future for the Hawaiian Islands. Sitting on the Mountain View piazza Mr. Fulcher said: Views of n Successful Newcomer. “I came here four years ago and have never regretted it. There is no finer cli- mate, no richer soil, if you search the world over. We have all the sunshine we want, all the rain we need, a temperature seldom below 60 degrees, never above 80, and it is absolutely growing weather the whole year round. I bought this place and an interest in the store, believing I could make enough to live on and something over while my plantation is growing. A couple of Chinese keep the house and do it well, while a third helps me in the store, and we deliver goods free six miles on each side of the road. I have about fifty acres in coffee, twenty down here and thirty up at my home. Part of the trees are now in the first bearing, and the yield is far greater than I thought it would be a year ago. Trees at thir altitude mature more slowly and the coffee ripens a little later than low- er down. But both trees and berries are fully as fine, and I believe will yield as great an average. The trees here about the house were among the first planted up this Sey 88 an experiment, but not taken care of. Protection From Weeds. “When I got the place it was overrun with weeds, and these trees are just recovering from the effects. But some of them will yield this year three pounds each, and that shows what the average would be if the trees had received proper care. Coffee trees will not stand weeds. But there is no trouble about keeping a plantation clean if the land is well cleared at first and then taken care of. We do not have to contend with the variety of weeds that grow in the United States. Ferns are the principal weeds in clearing the land, but easily dis- posed of. The other weed is a creeping grass, such as I have been working out just here. Coffee has now passed the experi- mental test, and there is such confidence in its future that lands up here have doubled in price. Government lands have A Coffee Plant. doubled in price in one year, and since my four years’ residence here I have seen lands advance from $6 an acre to $i) an acre, and none are now to be had at that on the ‘New Voleano road.’ Unless something unforeseen and extraordinary should hap- pen, the coffee industry is already an as- sured success. Thousands of Acres Available. “Of course this is only the beginning, for there are thousands of acres in the Puna and Hamakua districts that will be put into coffee, as they are of the same rich, voleano soil and possess the same all- round favorable conditions as Olaa. It is bound to be a great opening for moderate individual investments by enterprising men, who, if willing to work industriously for a few years, are pretty sure of a competence the rest of their day: But they must have capital to start with. This is the danger in men coming with just money enough to insure not success, but failure. The favor- able conditions of climate and soil and usually too low estimate of the cost of ge! table to be misleading. Now, it coffee lantation and-dollar ainty A man should have five iaou- rs anyhow, and ten thousand better. We planters up here experience that the go’ nmment in the ting a coffee plantation up to the pro point are like! be would first pla t of clearing be cleared for twice that, and some acre cording to timber, vines, s, ferns ¢ ferns, which in| many places , often a dense thicket of luxuri: nds ma while others ¢ even more, a un acre are nt heavy tropical growth. The clearing is more tedi- ous than actually , as everything comes out of this soft, loose soil ly, and no plowing is necessary. Starting a Coffee Plantation, “I have a goed deal on my place besides coffee, but have never had to use a plow. Of course, it costs mcre to clear lands clean at first than if partiall cleared. But in the long run it is more economical, as you have the full use of the land at once tor coffee plants, setting a go0d many more to the acre than on partially cieared ground. Planting from the nursery gives a year's start over planting from seed, and naturally the strong, heaithy nursery plants from the best sced make the best trees. But great care Is required in planting to place the tap roots perfectly straight in the ground, oth- the trees will not thrive. In the ime, besides the cost of clearing and fencing lands, planting and getting tne plantation weil started, there is the expense of living. The planter must have a nouse for himself, especially with a family; a house for his manager and quarters for laborers, with water and wood for living purposes, to say nothing of wages. Though the trees come into first bearing the third year, {i is pretty much all paying out until the fifth year, when the crop may be re- garded as making some returns. At the end of the seventh year from clearing Jand and planting, if the plantation has been successfully managed, it has paid for itseit and left a handsome profit on the inve: ment. With this result at the end of seven years there is no reason why from that on it should not be a good paying business and easy work, for the trees are getting better all the time. Coffee trees will grow ten or fifteen feet high, but we top them at about five feet for convenience of picking the berries, which is by hand, and from time to time, as they are gradually ripened and not ali ready at once. You mzy see now on these trees here by the piazza ripe berries, green berries and here and there blossoms. Coffee trees also require careful pruning to make strong, full-bearing trees, the coffee only growing on wood of the second year’s growth, and never on the same wood twice. Success in Truck Farming. “While the money for the first three or four years all goes pretty much the one way, planters can lessen expenses of living very much by raising all their vegetables, corn, small fruits and in time other fruits. I know of hardly anything that will not yw well here, and with very little labor. Tosne from the best corn region in Ten- nessee, and know good corn at sight. We can raise just as good corn up here, with- out putting a plow near it, and raise two full crops a year. You will see my two cornfields as you drive on, near the road. One is ready to cut and the other is green, with plenty of roasting ears. The fields are side by side and prove what can be done with corn in this country. Of course, with corn there is no trouble about keev- ing a cow or two, pigs and chickens, and have your own milk, butter, pork, fowls and eggs. Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, and all other vegetables, grow splendidly here. Pumpkins and squashes grow to an enormous size. I now have squash vinez seed planted eighteen months ago, that are bearing yet, though the main vines are dead, and the squashes are grow- ing on new shoots entirely out of the ground. I was writing home to the. states one day and mentioned the squash vines. My wife's father wrote back that he expected to have a son-in-law who States, and, like the vegetables, we can have them fresh the year round. I have ® young orchard of plum, cherry, peach and apple trees growing. and there is no reason why these fruits may not do well up here. Bananas will flourish where cof- fee grows.

In truth, it pected that very many of the homes” mean that the society beauty has taken onions for her cold or complexion— under the family physician's prescription, perchance, and must deny herself to her friends. It is well known that the bulbous vege- table is a specific for many complaints— indigestion among others—and that when the immediate odor has passed the breath is all the sweeter from its use as a diet. Long before Columbus discovered America the homely onion was doing duty in its native east (India), not only as food, but 8 medicine and a conservator of the arts. Its aromatic flavor commended it to the epicure, its stimulating, sudorific Properties made it an excellent tonic, pro- moting all the excretions, while its viscid juice was used as a cement for porcelain. Finally, according to Miss Parloa of the Beston cooking school, Delmonico, Cham- bern, Savarin, the late Sam Ward and other great chefs, the onion cannot be dis- pensed with in the preparation of appe- tizing dishes. Its pungent taste is neces- sary, they say, to impart the flavor which is looked for in the cuisine of every first- ciass restaurant by its patrons. In one form or another, whether in merely being rubbed on the cooking utensil or the serv- or in having a modicum of its inserted in sauces, the
