Honolulu, H. T, Jan. 17. 1906.
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.

James Dalton disposed of 125 head of

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.
