WAILUKU, MAUI, H. T., SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 7, 1 908
NUMBER 38
C. B. Weils
Retires
Was Presented with Token
of Esteem by Employees.
Last Saturday evening, the em
ployees of the Wailuku Sugar Com
pany tendered tlieir retiring chief,
Mr. C. 15. Wells, a farewell dinner.
It marked the closing of over fifteen
years of strenuous, faithful and suc
cessful management of one of tlie
best revenue produeeing sugar es
tates on Hawaii.
At eight o'clock, the hour ap
pointed for the feast, a hungry lot
of men sat down to a sumptuous
dinner served under the direction of
mine host, F. A. Mayficld. Mr. E.
E. Battelle, as toastmaster, kept the
ball rolling and there was no dull
moment you may believ. . Brother
Frank, was called on for the open
ing remarks and in a lccling manner
paid a tribute to the "old man" for
what he and the 'Wniluku Sugar
Company had done for tin School
etc., Long Life to or.r1- "Mill
Superintendent."
When the coffee wim reached,
Mr. II. Strcubeck, in the following
speech, which was echoed by. all
present, presented Mr. Wells with a
handsome solid silver punch bowl ;
suitably engraved : '
"Our esteemed toastmaster has
seen fit to call on mo to say a few
words. I am glad he did. so and I
, thank him rfor it. At the same
time, I wish to say that I am not a
dinner table speaker. I may do
full justice to a good dinner, butas
-a speaker, I am afraid I am a
failure. Wc are gathered hefy to
night to show by our. presence the
esteem and respect you deserve for
your many years of faithful and un
tiring work as Manager of this
Plantation. We all admit that you
deserve a rests but we are sorry to
see you go. Wo hope however, that
that your successor will continue
tlie good you have done. We hope
that where ever you 'go, health,
happiness and good luck will be
yours.
I have been commissioned to pre
sent to you a slight token of regard,
the value is not so intrinsically
great as to expose us to boasting,
but not so small as to make us feel
as though we were mean. Its value
to you lies in the fact that it comes
nvith the best wishes for your health,
happiness and prosperity from those
assembled here."
Mr. Wells, to use a slangy phrase,
was knocked off the Christmas'
tree" and it was some little time
before ho was able to respond.
After a toast to his successor,
with all hands standing, that grand
old song "Auld Lang Syne" was
sung with great heartiness by all
present, followed by "Aloha Oe"
and "Hawaii Ponoii," after which

C. D. LUFKIN, Cashier.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 24th day of May, 1908.
HUGH UK COKE, Notary Public Sec. Jud. Circuit
The punchbowl presented to Mr.
Wells was of solid silver. The in
scription on tins bowl is. "Pre
sented by the employee Of the
Wailuku Sugar Company as :t re
membrance to 0. 15. Wells upon
his retirement as Manager of the
plantation 190S.'.'
It is a handsome' gift and Mr.
Wells prizes it highly.
The retirement of Mr. Wells from
Wailuku marks an epoch in the his
tory of the plantation.
In 1S90 Mr. Wells became the
manager of the Waihee Plantation
At-that time Waihee was a separate
plantation, Wailuku was another,
and Waikapu was another. The
combined output of sugar for tlie
three plantations was then four
thousand ono hundred tons. In
1S93 Mr. Wells came to Wailuku as
the manager of the Wailuku planta
tion. He had for some time been
planning the consolidation of the
three estates and the following year
the consolidation was effected and
Mr. Wells became the manager
which position ho held until his re
tirement on the first day of this
month.
Under the management of Mr.
Wells the water system has bo(jn
perfected and thousands of acres of
land added to the estate. The es
timated tonnage of sugar for tlie
next crop will he KiOOO.
Mr. Wells is ono of the oldest
plantation men in the territory. He
has been in plantation work twenty
eight years and has been manager
for twenty-live years. He leaves
the plantation in excellent eondi
tion.
During twenty-three years of his
management Mr. H. Streubeek lias
been with him as chief engineer.
Mr. II. 15. Penbnllow is tlie new
manager of the plantation. He lias
worked himself up to bis present
position by rapid strides and will
doubtless keep the plantation up to
its past dividened paying mark.
Cowboys Want
Land For Homes
Over in Ka-u, Hawaii, near the
Wniohinu district, there are a lot
of old Hawaiians who are not
afraid to settle down on govern
nient land with tho prospect of
losing it if "they do not abide by 1
live or ten-year residence agree
niout. A number of Jhese- have
made application to' Land Commis
sioner Pratt for small tracts of land
on which they can build tlieir
homes and live for the rest of their
lives. There arc about twenty ap
plicants for land hure, and from
calculations prepared in tho Land
Commissioner's oHice, they will ho
given anywhere from 30 to 50
acres each.
Cowboys at Wainioa, Hawaii,
have also made application for
small tracts of lands on which they
can build homes and keen a small
garden. There are twenty or thirty
wild horseback riders who want a
small plot of ground of from three
to live acres, and this matter will
be taken up immediately by tho
Land-Commissioner. Mr. Pratt
thinks that this Hawaii mountain
land contains some of the finest
spots in the Territory.
