The wayward character of the lillle river, winding hither and yon. and never seeming to get anywhere, this was its crowning virtue, since lint-- il controlled more land: no corner of any field was far away from the line of traffic. In the same way the manufactured sugar was conveyed to the landing, or to the schooner in, the hay, one huge barge being housed in, and widely known and admired as "The Ark." Those were palmy days along the little river, days of life and action; I he tall hricU chimney rolling out volumes of smoke, clouds of steam going up from the open evaporators, llie mill whistle crying impatiently for cane, the rattle of the big spur wheels running free when the feed was light, the groan and whine of the rollers when the feed was heavy, the crackling of whips anil blas pheming of drivers belaboring the straining oxen, the treble of femi nine voices and bantering laughter on washing day along the banks and far awav the musical ringing of the cane knives in the cultint field. All this was new and Avon dcrful, and many simple folk came irom afar to see the new era at I la nalei. It seems somewhat strange that llanalei, destined in a special way to chronicle the early success ol sugar, was also destined to sec its early failure. While other districts far less favored, apparently, at the start, forged ahead anil attained t a" phenomenal prosperity, llanalei fell into the rear and finally, wide the shadow of the McKinlcy bill, fell out altogether, so that now sugar i onlv a memory m llanalei. kicc has taken its place, and the whol broad valley is now one wide wav iiig rice field 'cultivated by half dozen small plantations of Chincsi ownership, each with its primitive lit: le mill, its overshot, slow revolv ing water-wheel, its cement thresh, ing floor, and its cluster of white w ashed barns and "iiuarters." An ! the barges that now operate on the i river are Chinese sampans, loadci with naddv and propelled bv noise les ( )i ienlals. I . 1 TT l. io uic iiiniune ii.iu.ui.m me problem of crossings for such peaceful river was a very simpl one. here clothing cut no tigurc and every one could swim, it was not even necessary to stick by the regular fonlinir places. Shoal or dee) was all alike. With the ad vent of the horse, and the more ex tended use of clothing, the slrjAY.e'v splits were sought out for fvnds. As clothing grew finer, and j.iare legs gave place to shoes and Mockings, these crossings made way for fer ries. One of these, in Connection with the main "oad, was( made of ficial, with a sc w large,' enough to take a vehicle, and operated with leisurely dignity by a .scow man. who drew your inadvertent atten tion to the schedule of . fares, which covered every possible combination of vehicle horse and dog and man fares which applied only to the dav time, and rose rapidly after dark. The shelving bank left a consid erable gap between the water's edge and the steeply-beveled ide of the scow, and for any but horses long wiiiited to this method of embarka tion, this gap was filled with un no n terror.- ; onlv after much urg- Following is a complete list of! the persons hooked for the Ad Ciub's excursion, which will reach Waimeaat 6:30 next Saturdays morning-sonic of whom may drop out, however: J.

And when at length the scow swung loose from the hank with a jar, and rocked menacingly over the dark water, sometimes a team would be so tilled with terror that they would holt bodily forward over the open end of the scow, ve hicle, driver and all. Jn the heyday of the sugar pros perity it was felt that the scow was too medieval for so progressive an age, st) it was relegated to the scrap heap, and a double truss bridge, with a central stone pier, as built, just mauka uf the mill; and this for a brief period met the require ments of the growing traffic. J'.ut a winter storm of unusual violence brought down from the mountains such a roaring torrent as under mined the pier and abutments, and demolished the superstructure, car rying it off to sea. and incidentally so tilling the valley with a sense of I awe tor their little river, that thev k it it would be tempting Providcnci to renew the bridge.
