ALBERT HORNER. BAID TO IIAVE
FATHERED GREAT HOMESTEAD
IDEA FREAR MUTE.
Most radical and possibly tho most
important of any change jet suggested
in the management of Hawaiian
plantations are the changes reported to
bo in contemplation by Albert llorner,
for the Kukninu Plantation on the Island
of Hawaii.
Propositions to divide this princely
estate into smnll trncts, each largo
enough to support a homesteader and
his family is tho plan which again
brings Kukninu Into tho limelight. Tho
plan de clops immediately following
tho conclusion of the sensational legal
Bitit in which Albert and Robert Horner
were opponents and In which the
latter won. It is to Albert llorner,
however, tint report credits tlio con?
ccptiou of the homesteadlng idea,
Whilo government interest in the
proposition is said to bo strong, no information
will bo gicn out ofllcmlfy.
Governor Frew stated yesterday that
no conference had been held between
himself ami tho pihato iutercsts concerned,
although 11 thing is said
to bo in contcmplition. Mr. llorner
declined to discuss it.
The detaili of tho plan as thev nwnit
confirmation nt present, arc to tlio effect
that the government will endeavor,
through its official bureaus already es
tablished, to seeuro settlers for the
land which the Kukulnu plantation will
provide.
The tracts, Biy tlio reports, will be
largo enough to permit the industrious
homesteader to support himself nnd his
family handsomely, tho only proviso in
his settlement agreement "being tint
all his cane must bo sent to tlio Ku
kainu Mill. This nrrnngement will, if
reports moro or less nnthoritnto aro
true, koop the broken bits of tho plantation

What f urthor details will be announc
