A Place Of Perpetual Bloom

Ranney C. Scott who is at present with liis brother, Evart, is to return in a few days to Honolulú. lio is very mm-h in love with the Hawaiian Islands of the Pacific,.and believes them to be earth's paradise. ïhe (límate lie says is always mild and pleasant, and nature is very lavish in its production of vegetation of all sorts and kinds. Trees grow rapidly, and it would be little trouble for a person ha ving a small plantaiion to grow all tho flre wood necessary to do the cooking for a family. Coal is quite expensive there costing $16 per ton, butas no flres are ever needed except for culinary purposes, the (Iemand for it is very slight. The fuel mostly used is the soft wood grown on the islands, which makes a quick fire. Hawaii is a land of perpetual bloom, flowers growing luxuriantly all the year round. But little clothing is needed, and overcoats are a thing unheard of. Mr. Scott says that people who come there should have some capital. He thinks that one coming there and having one or two thousand dollars to invest in land could live easily and comfortably the remaiuder of his life. Recent experiments in growing cofFee have been such as to give the people there great encouragement. He thinks that a small plantation set out to cofFee plants would bring a rich return in a short time. In regard to the formation of the new governmeut, he says the republic bas come to stay. The people now at the head of affairs are the people who have the brains and the power to govern. They are the ones whose interests are at stake, and to whom a good or a bad governmeut makes a great differenee. He does not fear any uprising on the part of the deposed queen's followers, and believes them to be so few that they could not form a respectable mob, but if they 8hould attempt it they would be easily disposed of. The fact is that the present government is so sensibly and so economically administered that it has made itself friends every day, the natives appreciating it as much as the white citizens. There are plenty of free baths. All one has to do is to go down to the beach and the surf is ready for hun at all times. All tropical fruits grow in great luxuriance, and the effort necessary to sustain life is much less than in almost any other country on earth. In fact Hawaii is the acme of all lands, the Garden of Eden. the flnest and best place on earth to live in, p.nd Mr. Scott would like to have all his friends move out there and enjoy life and its advantages in its Elysian fields as his neighbors.
