| Show THE plantation PI AT LAIE THE success which has attended the labors of elder george and the elders associated with him on the plantation of ozlale laie late islands ia is most gratifying after many attempts to raise crops that would be remunerative munera tive and buffering disappointment from the destruction of insects and the low price at which they were compelled to sell their products they have at last entered upon a business which gives promise of paying the boil seems to be well adapted to the growth of sugar cane and this production is now receiving attention since brother left here last fall they have manufactured eight eighty tons of sugar and two hundred bar reis of molasses 4 on the plantation a very good yield considering the breadth of land laud they had bad under cultivation this thib quantity will doubtless be greatly increased another year and the prospect is is that a flourishing settlement and headquarters for the natives who desire to gather can be m maintained a ain there the elders who have been appointed to go from here herd to that country on missions have an interest now in the land with bro he having made liberal arrangements with them on the cooper co oper active principle this we think Is a wise measure us it insures zeal and thorough feeling of interest on the part of those engaged in the labor one g great ret point that was waa had in view in sending the elders to the islands to labor in their present capacity is being accomplished the natives are being taught au g iii t practical religion they are lear learning n n g industrious cleanly virtuous habits a and ni are growing in faith and confidence the gospel is not they and find a sunday religion alone but its ministers can cultivate and tind beautify the earth draw from the elements around them comfort and aud wealth and on sundays and other times when meetings are geld held heid discourse upon the principles of their holy religion with fervor and understanding this is the kind of religion which is adapted to the wants of mankind and particularly that portion of the race which dwells on the sandwich islands if any of that nation can be saved from the destruction that is rapidly swallowing them up the plan adopted by the elders will be the means of accomplishing it bro disposed of the greater portion of the sugar he brought with him from the islands at san francisco he only brought three or four tons to this city his reason for this was he understood the island sugar did not have a ready sale here this we suppose ia is the case our our people for some reason or other prefer to buy the refined sugar than to purchase the island sugar though the theatter jatter ia is sold cold at at a con blae blue sider ably raby lower price now aside from the obligation resting upon us to aus sustain one another in our pur labors for fo r the building up of zion and the redemption of our race this policy is unwise A family that studies economy will not adt abot fall fail to find that the sugar manufactured rautu fautu red by the brethren at laie late bis ris is much richer in saccharine matter matten than refined ned su garand for nearly every pur par y peas answers equally well it does not izuo ok k so white but in buying sugar it is not the appearance of the article that is paid forit is the sweet that it furnishes very few good housekeepers are anxious to pay a high price for an article which elas has only its looks to recommend it when they can purchase at cheaper rates an article that better answers their purpose yet this is the course pursued by many in the pur chase of the sugar referred to and we think the only reason for their taking this course is their ignorance of the qualities ot ci the two arti artl
