Elgin Recorder: Perhapea few fine from Honolulu would be of interest to the reader of the Recorder. We landed here Dec 22 after a eery rough voyage. W were in a hur ricane for about three day that gave as a Uta ft a "storm at ea."' We were eix and a half day coming over. Hon olulu ie a tropical town in every respect and a line place to spend a winter. The climate ie good, the average temoerature ie about 79 degrees, and as long a on stay in the shad and doe aot exercise too much, it is perfect, but take a brisk walk in the sun and you feel like it is August. The table is supplied with sum mer fruits and vegetables, such as straw berries, watermelon, cucumber, green peea corn, tomatoes, etc in fact, any thing that require hon sonshin and plenty of motsture. Sugar cane is king here. There are 57 sugar plantation on the islands. We visited Ewa, which is said to be the meet productive but not the largest in the world. They employ over 2000 people on the plantation and in the mill grinding I80O ton of can per day, making 200 ton of sugar. W were snown through the mill and saw the entire procee of sugar making from bringing in the cane to putting the sugar in the sacks. Men in the sugar businee have grown immensely wealthy, aa the profit are very great. There are also many large pineapple, banana and rice plantation. The profit on pineapple are next to sugar, aa thi is the only place m our poeeeeeion where they are grown successfully. The drivee around Honolulu to the diff erent point of interest are great, some of them being through shady grove with wild fruit and flower growing along the way that you may stop and gather, and it is easy to think this ie June instead of January. W made a trip to the island of Hawaii to see the wonderful volcano Kilean, the greatest active volcano in the world. We had to go 200 miles by steam er passing the leper island to Hilo, where we took the train for 20 miles, then the stage 9 mile to the volcano house from where we had to go horse back for three mile ever lava fields; then left our bone and walked about a quart er of a mile over the hot lava to the OeviT Kitchen where our native guide set a pot of coffee ever a crevice, and in Ave minutes it was boiling, and as the rain wae pouring down,, the coffee and sandwiches were enjoyed by all. By this time it wis dark and w went one-fourth of a mile further to the crater and looked in It ie a erand sight and one we will never J forget. The bottomleee pit, the fire and brimstone were all there, but we did not see the old fellow with the horn and hoofs. Through the courtesy of one of the newspapers here, we were invited to at tend a genuine old-time Hawaian feast called hau. There were 15 white people and about 20 natives present. It began at 6 p. m. and lasted 'till near morning. A thick mat of fern was spread on the floor and on thi was placed the food which consisted of pot, pig. chicken, fish, raw octopus, sweet potatoes, tara, see weed, many native sauce and pudding and all tropical fruit and nut. The meat were taken from the (tone-lined pit where they had simmered since 12 o'clock the night before. We at on th floor and at with our fingers, as there were no knives and fork. Th poi is a sticky stuff served in s wooden bowl and ie eaten by dipping two finger in th poi and then putting it in your mouth. We tried to be polite and taste of everything as we were expected to, put we had to pass up the raw octopus. After the feast the natives entertained u with native music and dancing. Business "t conducted by the Japanese and Americans and seems to be very prosperous. Th banks carry as high as 60 per cent surplus. Men from the States who are in business here, say they are satisfisd with the business and change of climate. We expect to leave here on the Man churia February 16, and will be in Elgin about March 1. Your truly, O. B. Hendricks. I IE MS 0 TEREST FROM fli (OUT HdUIKES Elgin Recorder I. L.

Lewi of La Grande was in North Powder on business the latter part of the week. James Dalton disposed of 125 head of beef cattle to Carstean Bros., of Seattle. Wash., this week. The average weight was 1317 lb, per head among thi herd wa on steer that weighed 1900 lbs. This is a good average for a bunch of beef cattle and if the market price is what it ought to be there would be something gained for a man's trouble of fat tening cattle. But at the present market price of $3.60 per e. w. t., it hardly pays to fatten cattle of the market. And by the time a man counts feed and labor he will find that there is very little to be mads fattening cattle for the market.
