Kalaheo Homesteads Of Five

UT WALTER M'URYOE down on

) mT You cannot fall to do bo nfter
" n trip through the Knlaheo
homesteads ot Knual.
Thcso homesteads on the upper l
lands ot a public area recently under
lease to the McUrydo sugar planta
tion represent the practical working
cut ot the land-settlement policy In
which tho actual tiller of the soil fig
ures ns an honest factor. There Is
no largo tract of land "settled" by
persons who live on It long enough
tn "prove up" and then hlro others
to do tho work.
' I'lvo acres and a house furnish the
nucleus of the Kalaheo homestead.
Tno father, sons and sometimes the
dnughtes work on tho adjoining mi
ca r plantations. The five-acre home
furnishes vegetables for the house
hold and pineapples for tho cannery.
' Tho scheme Is especially attractive to
the European Immigrant who comes
to Hawnll to work, rather than to get
control of n lot of land and pcrhnps
Incorporate nnd operato It with tJ(l
entnl labor, while ho rldci In an uu

j -ALAHEO Is a section ot public
I, land that lies between the fee
1 simple areas ot Electa on the
south and Lnwal on tho north,
nil of which are combined In the
mnko-up of the McUrydo sugar plan
tation. Tho lower areas of Knlaheo
a'ro under sugar cultivation. Aboe
tho Irrigation lino of the plantation
at an elevation ot from five to eight
hundred fcotf are tho lands which
wcro turned over to the homestead
ers. For some , years tho land was
used for ranching purposes. Finally
tho McDrydo sugar plantation gave
np tho lea no qntho upper Knlaheo
lands In return for nn extension of
tne lease of tho lower Kalaheo lands
nnd the Knlaheo homestead scheme
vs brought Into being. W. A. Kin
ney engineered' tho proposition.
Tho Torrllorla Land Department
surveyed the upper lands, cutting
thorn up Into five-aero plots. Tho
I country Is very attractive to look
upon. The gulches are deep, but In
the majority ot cases are fertile.
There la no lantann. The soil Is good.
Although thero Is not onough water

homestead Is supplied with household
water piped from a "reservoir In tho

When the survoy was completed
there were 118 homestead plots
available. Theso wcro opened V up
nbout a year nnd a halt ago. The
district now has fifty-one houses on
It and seventy of the plots aro taken.
llcing on high land the houses can
be seen from qulto a'dlstanco on tho
road, and the most casual observer Is
Impressed with tho fact that some
thing Is being done.
NOW THIb COMMUNITY Ot BUll
den development has not, Ilka
Topsy, "Just growed." It has
ocen nursea ana losierca unu
holpcd nil along the line. The men
of "big finance" have put 4helr re
rources nt tho disposal of tho people
who havo norther capital than their
labor,
Tlio men with money havo built
tho houses. They have built tho
fences and they have conserved tho
Water In the mountains nnd laid tho
plpo to supply tho homesteader with
a wator tap In the front yard. Tho
first part of this water system cost
from 17.000 to $8,000. The men
with money have also erected tho
pineapple cannery nnd offer' tho
homesteader S2G. a ton for the pine
apples grown on tho flve-acro plot.
Tho big financier also offers the
homesteader work on tho adjoining
rugnr plantation.
i. rough t right down ( to Its final
Rnalysls you may class tho Interest of
tho big financiers ns qulto selflBh.
They aro doing nil 'this to bo better
assured of a contented and perma
nent supply ot labor for tho sugar
plantation. Hut that does not detract
from the excellent opportunities pre-
rcntcd to tho homesteader, who sat-
Isfiles his selfish Instinct by grasping
nil these good things by the nld ot
which ho may establish for himself
an independent home.
The proposition which tho men ot
money make to the homesteader at
Kalaheo Is something like this:
You take the flve-acro homo
Btead which tho Government will
turn over to you nt $B. nn ncro.
Wo will put up your house, fence
you j Innd, und lay tho wator for
household purposes. If you wleh
to raise pineapples we will give
you S2G. per ton. If you work on
the plantation we will supply you
with" firewood, As security for our
expenditures you give us d mort
gage on the proporty. The whole
transaction must bo subject to
tho approval of the Territorial
Commissioner ot Public Lands.
Opportunity to work on the sugar
) plantation Is always nt your dis
posal.

Some of tho houses are very elabor

however, aro peoplo who need assist
ance to get a start.
Walter McUrydo comes In as the

of the wholo proposition so tar as
tho assisted ones aro concerned,
Mr, Mcllrydo's omclal position Is
that of manager ot the Kauai Fruit

tion has a cannery that turned out
2,600 cases of canned pineapples last
year anu is getting in position to de
liver nn output of C000 cases this
ear. This company Is cultivating
pineapples on .Its own account as well
as promoting tho enterprise among
independent growers. And although
It Is nn Independent corporation, It Is
a force allied with the Mcllryde bu-
gar plantation. In dealing with tho
homesteader, Mr. Mcllryde Is tho rep
rescntatlve of the men who advance
the capital.
The Ilulletin representative was
fortunato In having Mr. McUrydo as
his conductor through the homestead'
area. It makes no difference who
originated tho Idea, McUrydo is

road and nt tho present time repre
sent all stages of development, from
the well-built houso surrounded by
garden and flowers to the roughly
broken ground and the tallow field
on Which a homesteader Is about to
raise his home. Tho land Is free of
trees. All the home plots are within
easy access to tho main road, nnd
through the activity' of Mr. McUrydo,
who Is a County Supervisor ot Knual,
a fairly good road has been mndo
throughout the tract. This has not
been an especially expensive task, as
the earth js easy to handle nnd the
road follows tho lines of least resist
ance along the gulches.
The houses are of the two- nnd
three-room type with a veranda. The
surroundings tell the story of the
shiftless or the hard-working, frugal
family.
Each settler has an individuality
with which Mr. McUrydo Is intimate
ly acquainted. The community and
the settlers have trouktcs and they
bring them to tho manager. He has
problems ot divorce, sickness, Jcal
ousy nnd natural-born cussedness to
deal with. And ho must handle them
nil with the main purpose ot keeping
the people contented and on tho land.
Not all have remained with their

the plantation landing nt Anahola.
Tho plantation chargo Is one dollar

f It be true that the landing at
Anahola is better for steamers than

Kapaa landing was used for twenty
thjoo years by tho district and tho
plantation.
The Makco Sugar Company built
the Anahola landing nt an expense
of !20,00Cr. Tho upkeop'of tho land

N ONE OP THE LOTS a father

with two sons were at work
with their hoes breaking up
tho plowed sods preparatory to
pineapple planting. The father and
each son haa-a lot of his own. They
work their fields In common and are
regularly employed on tho sugar
plantation. This exchange ot labor
among tho settlers Is quite common
nnd tends to develop a satisfactory
community life.
Mr. McUryde has not lost sight ot
the community idea, cither. On tho
makal sldo of the County road nn
area has been reserved for a school,
a church, nnd n baseball Held. An
other Instance of an eye to the future
Is found In tho reservation of the
sides of a gulch nt the bottom of
which Is a small.sprlng. The land Is
tortile but It Is deemed best to am
ply protect the water source from
any probable Infection.
Still another Interesting rcsenn
tlon Is n plot which Mr. McUrydo Is
using ns nn 'experimental field for
pineapple culture. This Is In tho
midst ot the homestead area and con
ditions aro Identical with those tho
liome-bulldcr has to face. Here pine

Senator Clay ot Georgia makes h
speech In opposition tn tho.Aldrlch
currency bit),
but ' Just for )our Information." Such
persons should mako note of the fact
that tho capitalistic asslstnnca to
theso homesteaders Is Identical with
tho nsslstanre tho banker gives tho
business limn and the agent the plan
tation capital Is carrying the home
steaders until they can "get on their
feet.' The opportunities for his be
ing cinched nnd forced to sell out are
er) few and far between, and, as a
matter of fact. Capital, as represent
ed In tho sugar-plantation Interest,
Is vitally Interested in keeping the
man on the land and holding his
homestead.
If the Kalaheo homesteads do not
represent tho solution of the problem
of how to permanently establish la
bor for the main Industry nnd at the
enmo time balunco the alien nnd citi
zen forces of tho Territory, nothing
thus fjir proposed does. Tho man on
his homestead Is In n position to bo
absolutely independent, so far ns his
liomq Is concerned, In live years,
Tncre Is 'a market for his labor near
by nnd the work U of a character
that is satisfactory.
If this same tract wcro parceled
out on tho same basis as tho famous
Wahlawn, from fen to fifteen Ameri
can farmers might handle the wholo
business, They would cultivate the
fields with cheap labor nnd after tho
corporation for consolidating tho en
terprise had been formed, tho propor
tion of American farmers to Japanese
farmers would bo as one to thirty.
Then, when the "serfs" had been
taught the business, some promoter
wno rides In automobiles would pro
bably come nlong nnd complain that
tiio Japanese were going Into tho
rlnc.tppto business nnd would un
doubtedly ruin it.
The fact of the situation In Hawaii
is that tho European Immigrant will
do what the American farmer will
novcr do. Tho European immigrant
will cltlzenlze the labor ,of."thn Isl
ands, nnd that means Amerlcanlzo by
the mainland process.
The Kalaheo homesteads nro show
ing how this can bo done.
When tho spirit ot tho Kalaheo
homestead proposition pervades a lar
ger section of Kauai, bud thero aro
moro settlers on more lands, tho bal
ancing of the citizen with the alien
.will notbo such tiiat when n man
walks Into tho blacksmith shop ot
tho McUryde sugar plantation ho will
find Ave Orientals at work nnd not
n slnzlo citizen or person eligible to
becomo n citizen, To be qulto fair
to Mcllrdc, however. It should, be
bald that only In tho blacksmith shop
wan this percentage observed.
