HAWAII AND
IT'S ATTRACTIONS
Former Attorney General
Of Oklahoma Describes
Them
While Associato Justice Galbraith
was In Quthrio last week he was In-
terviewed by H. O. Olds for the Kan-
sas City Journal who also sent his
paper Galbralth'B collection of Haw-
aiian photographs. Tho lntovlow fol-
lows: Associate Justice C. A. Galbraith of
the supreme court of tho Hawaiian
islands is In Guthrie spending his an-
nual vacation. Judge GaiDralth was
attornoy general of Oklahoma during
the Renfrew administration and liv-
ed In the territory until ho romovod
to Hawaii and made that Island his
home. Judgo Galbraith is enthusias
tic about tho islands and regards
them as the most valuable of the re-
cent acquisitions of tho United
States not only from commercial rea-
sons but for their great stragellc
valuo as they give practical control
of the groat ocean trade of tho Pacific
ocean being tho "half way house" on
the trip to the Orlont.
Tho fertility or the soil Is groat tho
sugar interests leading. Tropical
fruit of all kinds grow In vast quan-
tities and tho scenery Is grand and
delightful.
"Fortunes await tho ontorprlslng In-
vestors who can grasp tho possibili
ties of the Islands" said Judge Gal
braith. "Conditions aro rapidly chang-
ing for tho better and tho natives
take kindly to the new order of things.
Ifc will take time to cradlcato the old
Ideas and Implant new ones In kcop-
Ing with the age but tho transforma-
tion Is going on rapidly and with tho
hustling immigration from the states
and tho adoption of modern methods
the Islands will bo tho grandest acqui-
sitions that Uncle Sam over added
to his possessions.
"Sugar raising Is Immonsely profit-
able. I have in mind ono field of 180
acres that was in cane last year ana
'the ylold was fifteen tons of raw
sugar to the acre worth 70 a ton. Of
course this is an exceptional yield
tho aveiage being about flvo tons to
tho acre; but as tho Louisiana planter
thinks ho has a largo crop when ho
makes two tons to tho acre tho above
will give some Idea of tho valuo of
tho islands In tho production of this
fstaplo article alono. Tho sugar ex
ported during tho year 1601 amounted
to nearly 700000000 pounds valued at
J27.500.000 Tho total exports for the
year 1901 amounted to nearly $29000"
000 so with a population of 154000
this amounts to nearly $183 per capita.
"Lite in the territory of Hawaii Is
dreamy and fascinating to those who
aro not absorbed In the rush for the
almighty dollar. The cllmato Is re
freshing tho trado winds tempering
the heat of tho tropical sun giving a
climate that Is rarely oppressive and
In fact no serious results have ever
been recorded from climatic causes.
and there is a noticeable absence of
those destructive storms that oc-
casionally devastate many other trop
ical countries
"The native Hawaiian is a fun lov
ing creature and boating fishing
hunting surf riding story tolling and
singing come natural to him In this
land of strango beauty and majestic
scenery and forests of strango treas
ana flowers of brilliant colorings. Tho
tired wanderer can drop down on tho
trunk of a fallon tree so thickly cov
ered with moss as to resemble an easy
chair and feast on bananas oranges
and mountain apples ! at grow In
abundance. In tho mountain forests
watorfalls abound' anu tho wonderful
and profuse vegetation and strango
birds and insects all go to give tho
islands an indescrlablo charm to the
sight seeing and curio hunting visitor
from other lands not bo favored from
the storehouse of nature.
"There is no disposition manifested
on the part of tho natives (o return
to tho old order of things. Of course
there Is a lingering rogret at tho
abolition of old customs and methods

ordr of things has come to stay and
