nd enterprising brains of the men of the
temperate zone to develop them.

MAUI.

Maui is also a very fine Island. Besides its sugar plantations, it has
numerous coffee lands, especially in the eastern part, which are just
now being opened up. The western slopes of Haleakala, the main mountain
of Maui, are covered with small farms where are raised potatoes, corn,
beans and pigs. Again, here, thousands of acres are lying fallow.

HONOLULU.

On Oahu is the capital, Honolulu. It is a city numbering thirty thousand
inhabitants and is pleasantly situated on the south side of the Island.
The city extends a considerable distance up Nuuanu Valley and has wings
extending northwest and southeast. It is a city of foliage. Except in
the business blocks, every house stands in its own garden, and some of
the houses are wonderfully beautiful.

The city is lighted with electric light; there is a very complete
telephone system, and tram cars run at short intervals along the
principal streets and continue out to a sea-bathing resort and public
park, four miles from the city. There are numerous stores where all
kinds of goods can be obtained. In this particular Honolulu occupies
a position ahead of any city of similar size. The public buildings
are handsome and commodious. There are numerous churches, schools, a
public library of over 10,000 volumes, Y. M. C. A. Hall, Masonic Temple,
Odd Fellows' Hall and Theater. There is frequent steam communication
with San Francisco, once a month with Victoria (British Columbia), and
twice a month with New Zealand and the Australian Colonies. Steamers
also connect Honolulu with China and Japan. There are three evening
daily papers published in English, one daily morning paper, and two
weeklies. Besides these there are papers published in the Hawaiian,
Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese languages, and also monthly magazines
in various tongues.

OAHU'S OPPORTUNITIES.

The Island of Oahu presents excellent opportunities for the investor.
Acres upon acres of land remain undeveloped among its teeming valleys,
the energies and wealth of the population having been devoted to the
development of the sugar lands on the larger Islands.

A line of railroad has been constructed which at present runs along the
coast to a distance of thirty miles from the city. It is proposed to
continue this line completely around the Island. This railroad opens up
rich coffee and farming lands and affords ready means
