Why The U. S. Hachine Is The Best

BECAUSEIt is the only Rotary Washer that has revolving steel ball gearing,

reducing the friction and thus making machine so light running andalmost noiseless.

The gear wheel turns right or left, the pin wheel or dasher reversesautomatically, turning the clothes back and forth through the hot soapsuds and cleaning them WITHOUT RUBBING THEM TO PIECES.

A report on the cemetery questionwas received yesterday afternoon bythe Board of Health as follows:"To the President and Members of the

..,.!..uouru ol nuuiui; i

"At the close of Its last meeting, theBoard as a whole made a tour of thecity cemeteries.

"Kawaiahao Cemetery. Tne generalappearance of this cemetery is not un- -

pleasing. Many of the graves showevidence of constant care, and the plotsand walks are for the most part neatlykept and free from weeds. It Is Im-

possible to form an estimate of theamount of ground still untenanted.owing to the fact that many of theplots have been leveled off, leavingnothing to indicate how many havebeen burled there in former years. The e(j at nno Yang and Haichung. Flght-record- n

of the riealth The Japanese, whowhich do not cover the earlier yearsof the cemetery, show 2576 burials todate. An actual count of the gravesnow to be seen there would not prob-ably exceed 700 or SOO. This customof obliterating the graves of the forgotten dead should be prevented 'ifpossible.

'Catholic Cemetery, King street.The overcrowded condition of thiscemetery Is apparent to the most casual observer. Its unfitness for furtherInterments, except perhaps In a fewspots near Its mauka border, is ack-nowledged by the authorities of thecemetery and by Catholics generally.It Is therefore most eatlsfactory tonote that, near Pearl City, a newCatholic cemetery, to take the place ofthis one, has already been laid out andconsecrated.

Maklkl Cemetery. The portion ofthis cemetery that was set aside forJapanese burials Is full to overflowing.Even the walks and paths are beingutilized. It is anomalous that a peo-ple who form a majority of the Inhabitants of this city should have but thisone little strip of ground In which tobury their dead.

"W. H. MAYS."The report was filed, and Dr. Cooper

was. delegated to see representativeJapanese regarding their burial place.

The report of Food Commissioner R.'A. Duncan was received, showing alarge number of samples of cannedfoods to have been examined by himduring the month. Those made locallywere found to be free from adulterations, while some of the Imported goodswere adulterated. As Ho them Duncansaid he had taken, action dg follows:

"In regard to theadulterlonienum-erate- d

In the report, r havciotlfied themanufacturers on the mainland' thattheirs goods are adulterated and soldillegally In this territory and have ask-ed them If they can place their goodson this market properly marked, tocomply with the law, within tjireemonths' time."

A report from the Insane Asylumcommittee approving the plans of thephysician's cottage and recommendingImmediate construction thereof wasread and adopted.

C. S. Holloway, Superintendent ofiut)jic Works, wrote the relauve to School street extension. TheGovernment gives the Asylum 20 feetmore ground by making the width ofroaa 60 instead of 80 feet. The roadwill run, along the margin of the Asy-lum grounds Instead of cutting throughineir mmst.

GAMBLING.

In regard to embezzlements and shortage of funds though the laxity

that has prevailed is primarily the cause, there are other causes whiciimay, be considered to conic in secondarily. Ut these in the case oiiVivian Richardson and of many another, gambling was it cause. Oam-blln- g

in its various forms has ever been the most ruinous of vices. Ithas led more men to ruin than almost any other of the temptationsWhich beset the path of man. It is moreover a vice which seems in-

grained in tnc human race. The most primitive of people indulge in it,Xhe most polished and advanced are fascinated with it. Gambling mayJake many forms. It may be betting on horses, it may be conducted bycards, by. dice, by lottery, by stocks, by games of skill or by games ofpure chance.

Gambling is not confined to any one grade of society. You find itamong the tramps and street boys, you also find it among the highestand most responsible of people. You find it among men, you find itamong women. It has as many forms as the chameleon has colors. Itanay, be coarse and it may seem refined, but none the less is it gamblingand a vice.

There is far more general gambling here than there used to be. Ithas become more of a prevailing vice. Time was when gambling waslargely carried on by the Chinese, and a few hardened poker players.Now, there are regular gambling joints and places where young mencollect for the sole purpose of gambling, while you cannot go into a.quiet street without coming across a little group of boys playing craps.

A gambler is patently untrustworthy. He lives in an atmosphere ofchance and illusion. This is what makes him so dangerous to entrustwith money. He has his run of luck, and he has his run of ill luck.When his ill luck comes he takes the money in his charge, hoping toreplace when his luck turns. He will do this as readily when he isstock gambling as when he is betting on races or playing cards. Butin this community there is one further incentive to taking money thatdoes not belong to the taker. He argues, "if I am found out some onewill pay up the money for me, and the affair will be hushed up. I maylose my job, but then I will get another."

The whole thing lies in a nutshell. Leniency in such matters onlymakes the gangrene of dishonesty spread. Only yesterday when com-menting upon a recent embezzlement some one remarked: "It was nota large sum, it might easily have been made up." It is this attitude ofmind in the community which helps to increase the crime. The bestway to form habits of honesty is by making dishonesty so difficult thatit is patently unprofitable and unwise. Two things are needed. Onepunishment unerring and certain, the other a public opinion which willostracize the dishonest man. Of this there is very little here. A manwho is known to be flagrantly dishonest, who has confessed his dis-

honesty, may yet hold his own socially, and be treated as if he neverhad done anything wrong in his life. Gambling may and docs lead to'dishonesty, but we; ourselves, are to blame in having made dishonestyeasy. - - '

HU .. . KOREA. .' J x

Japan may possibly declare a protectorate over Korea., It is gen-

erally thought that Ito's mission to that country is for that pur-

pose. That Japanese influence has entirely superseded Russian influ-

ence in the "Land of the Morning Calm" is very evident, and the lossesRussia has suffered have strengthened the pro-Japane- se party.

In spite of the prominence that Korea has had in the public eyesince the Chinese-Japanes- e war of 1895, and in spite of the number offoreigners in the country our statistical information of 'Korea is some-what vague. There has never been any census taken, and the 12,000,-00- 0

Koreans which are talked about so glibly are an estiihate pure andsimple. There may be more, there may be less.

Not only is Korea vitally important to Japan from a strategic andmilitary point of view, but it is also important from a commercial pointof view. With Russian permanently in Korea Japanese trade would befatally crippled, if not entirely shut out. In cotton goods alone Japansends $1,500,000 worth to Korea annually.

The trade question must never be lost eight of in this war. It iswhat the rest of the" world is most interested in, certainly it is what weare most interested in. With Russia in Korea and Manchuria our tradewould soon be reduced to a, minimum, if it were not shut out altogether.It would be a death blow to our oil trade. It would put an end to ourmining concessions. Whereas with Japan in possession it would in-

crease, and both our trade and our capital would be .welcome.The world is very selfish, it is true, and there is nothing more selfish

than commerce. But if we do not look after our own commerce no onewill look after it for us. Viewed at bottom it is our own interest whichmakes us sympathize with Japan in this war. There may be sentimentalreasons, as a smaller country fighting a large one, but the basis is sel-fishness; We shall get more through Japan'is occupation of these twoprovinces, than ever we should fr;om Russia.

TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH..1

' The Electro.technical Review, of Frankfort, contains an articlewritten by the inventors, Professor Brune and Engineer Turchi, describing a. new system of telegraphing and telephoning over the samewire, which has been patented In the principal countries. The essentialpart of the invention consists in the feature that existing telegraphwires can be made to serve for telegraphing and telephoning throughthe insertion of a, "differential spool." After a series of experiments, ofwhich those over the Rome-Floren- ce line, a distance of 185 miles, werethe most important, the Turin-Vercel- li line has been equipped for regu-lar service.

The chief advantage in adopting the new system is that the adjust-ment of the differential spool to the existing telegraph system is inex-pensive. In the near future experiments will be made in London. Theofficial adoption of the system for Portugal is reported to be determinedupon; an English company is at present building a widely distributedtelephone system in that country, work on which has been stoppedtemporarily in order to await the results of the experiments at Londonand eventually to use the existing telegraph system for simultaneoustelegraphing and telephoning.

The inventors claim the following advantages:1. Existing telegraph systems need not be changed materially.2. Telegraph systems of the most diverse kinds also those which

work with rapid and synchronic apparatus can be utilized, as, for in-stance, those of Hughes & Weston and others.

4. The cost ot adjustment is small. '3. Only one wire is required. "Pl . "i "

France is certainly uneasy. Exactly what she is meditating one cannotquite tell. One thing, however is cer-

tain and that is that there will not becoalition between France and Germany.The Alsace-Loi'ral- feeling Is asstrong as ever, and there was quite ademonstration the other day againstthe government because it had expell-

ed an Alsatian from French soil, foraddressing a political meeting. It wasopenly stated in the Chamber thatFrance intended to recover those provinces in time.

The Russians claim to have floatedthe disabled' ship Retvizan. At. Port Ar.thur there is every facility for repair-ing men-of-wa- r, so the Retvizan maybe got ready In nice shape for theJapanese to take over when Port Ar-

The Japanese do not give much restto the Russians. Last Tuesday theywere shelling Dalny and Port Arthuragain. There is an immense amountof sickness at Dalny, though what di-

sease has been sweeping off the popu-

lation has not been reported. It wouldnot be at all surprising If small-po- x

should ravage both Dalny and PortArthur. With disease within, and thefoe without, both these places would hein a very bad way.

A. big land battle between the Russians and the Japanese may be earlylooked for. Quietly but steadily theJapanese have been getting their troopsconcentrated so as to be in a positionto strike. The great aim of the Japanese is to obtain command of therailroad to Port Arthur and so to thoroughly Isolate that point of vantage- -Cut of on the land side and blockadedby sea the fortress must soon fall.

THE SOLACE HERE.The naval tiansport Solace arrived

unexpectedly this morning from one oflier .regular cruises to the Asiatic sta-tion. The vessel left Manila February20 said Guam February 27. She laidover night off Guam owing to the badweather that was prevailing.

Pleasant weather was experiencesduring the voyage to this port. Noth-ing was sighted. The Solace was lasthere in December when she arrivedwith supplies and ammunition for Ad-

miral Evans' fleet. She sailed ahead of.the .fleet, however, in order to make hr.rrounds of the ports on the Asiatic sta-tlo- n.

- She did not so further north thanHong Kong this trip, however, so didnot approach the scene of hostilities be-

tween the Japanese and Russians.There are hundreds of mien aboard

.the .Solace who are going Jiome. Tbqyhave served a month over their time,but this call for extra time on theirservices has been due fo delay in get-ting them back to the mainland. Nn-bca- ly

aboard the Solace has seen anyof the lighting.

The wessel brought no passengers forHonolulu. She has a small jalzed crowdof civilian and naval passengers. Sev-eral paymasters and their clerks are re-

turning from duty on the Asiatic sta-tion.

Commander BechJar was on the mon-

itor Monterey. He is returning home.Mrs. .Judge Sweeney and two chil-

dren are passengers .from Manila. Sheis the wife of Judge Sweeney .of thePhilippines. '

The Solace is to tike 600 tons of coalat this port. She will begin coaling to-

morrow rooming. She is scheduled tosail at 7 a. m. Saturday for San Fran-cisco. She will probably carry mall.

have the valuable right of proposal, butthe passengers on board the Siberia tr.ehast trip had a calendar of' their own,in which the thirtieth of February hasa rightful piece.

in crossing between here and Yoko-hama a day is added to r droppedfrom the calendar, to keep In accordwith the calendars of the far east.Traveling .towards Yokohama passen-gers go to .sleep one night and And it Istwo days later when they wake up.Otherwise, owing to the change In time,they would be a day behind the rest ofthe world on reaching Japan. Similar-ly a day is added on the return.

The day for the change on the Siberia's return trip came at the end of.February. As a result the added daywas called February 30 and appears soin the log and other official documentsof the vessel. The usual lunch anddinner menu cards were printed ouboard and they bear the idate of Feb-ruary 30. Many of the passengers keptthem aB souvenirs of a unique occasion.The experience was a new one to offi-

cers and men on board as well as to thepassengers, no one on board having en-

countered such a coincidence before.

TEST HACK LAW.Attonttjy ,J. A. Matihewman has be

gun proceedings in the Supreme Courtin behalf of fo.ur Japanese who wani?hackdrivers' licenses, to teat the actionof High Sheriff Brown in requiring a..knowledge .of the English language asa qualification for hackdrhrers. In theJate lamented county act there was awectlon of law providing thai hackmenmust have a knowledge of English JHawaiian or both. When the couulyact was knocked out the sheriff con-tinued to require English, basing hUaction on the following, rule from thenackmen's regulations as, drawn upsome time ago by Superintendent ofPublic Works' Boyd:

"Every hackdriyer, before being li-

censed as such, must prove to the sat-

isfaction of the competent authoritiesthat he Is sufficiently conversant withthe English language for the conductof his business, and well acquaintedwith streets and localities In andaround Honolulu." ''

The case is subm!ttedto the SupremeCourt on agreed facts by the HighShfcrlff anOJMhe four Japs for whomMathewman is counsel, being set f 'lbas follows

"That said Taklchl Sakata et al., be-

ing applicants for licenses as drt ersfor passenger vehicles, have presentedthemselves to the said Arthur M. Browsfor examination, and demanded of saidArthur M. Brown the certificates prerequisite to the Issuance of the said licenses, as provided In Section 99 of Act64, Session laws of 1899.

"That the said Arthur M. Brown hasrefused to grant the said certificates tothe said Taklchl Sakata et al, becauof their Imperfect understanding andrendering of the English language, Itbeing, however, admitted by ths saidArthur M. Brown that the said Taklchl Sagata et al understand tho man-agement of their horses and vehicles.

"ON GUARD."Two soldiers from the transport

toherman got themselves Into the crim-inal net last night. Both of them werearrested for stealing and both werefound guilty. Their names were Cor-poral G. H. Stevens and Sergeant C.Ferguson. They Were discovered byPolice Officer Kaatia, robbing the storeof Afee on Alakea street. One of themen was Inside the store and the otheiwas outside. The policeman grabbedboth and shouted for usslstance.Mounted Officer Fernandez went to hishelp and the soldiers were taken to thepolice station.

This morning the soldiers were be-

fore Judge Dickey on charges of lar-ceny In the second degree. The soldiersclaimed that they saw the door of thestore opened, with tobacco strewnabout the floors, 30 they thought theplace had been robbed and decided tostand guard until the police or someperson came to look after the store. Thecourt did not credit this story, how-ever, and fined them $25 and co3ts each.An officer from the transport was pres-

ent In court, paid the fines of the menand took them to the vessel, so thatthey were not left behind in this city.

Out of twelve cases on the policecourt calendar this morning nine ofthem were for stealing. Three of thesewere against Asa, the diminutive Jap-anese sneak thief. Continuances weregranted In those cases.

George Bolobolo was charged withstealing 700 pounds of lead from thewater works department. His case wascontinued until tomorrow.Kull was given three nionths In jail for

stealing a watch from a Chinese.

INSPECTORS TABUED.The naval transport Solace Is dis-

pensing with the services of the cus-

toms Inspectors. Efforts were madeby he Inspectors to go on the NavalWharf this morning when the Navaltransport was docked, but they wereturned down. In fact they were toldthat their presence was unnecessarynbont the wharf the Naval authori-ties would attend to looking after thevessel and preventing anything duti-

able being smuggled ashore.The Customs inspectors were to have

gone on the wharf but they were informed that it would be an unnecessaryoutlay of energy. The Naval peopletook the responsibility of seeing thatno customs regulations were violatedbo the inspectors had, in consequence,to remain outside In the street.

This action on the part of the navalpeople was In line with the precedentestablished by Admiral Evans whenthe American fleet was In port lastDecember. The Admiral took thematter of preventing any dutiable artides coming ashore from the fleet, outof the hands of the Customs officials.He took the matter Into his own handsand . Issued positive orders that thecustoms regulations were to bq strictly observed. The orders were obeyed and the work of preventing smug-gling If any persons had desired toattempt any such thing was thoroughlydone.

Evidently the naval authorities propose to follow that rule and attend tothe Naval vessels themselves when theboats are in thlB port. There has al-ways been r ore or less "feeling" onbetween the local customs people andthe people on the Solace regarding theguarding of the vessel and for someyears past Customs officials have notbeen permitted aboard the Solace.

NOT A JUROU PASSED.Out ot a special venire of fifty jurors

for the Jones trial only eight were leftwhen Judge Robinson adjourned courtat noon today and not one had beenpassed. The same Jurors remained inthe box as were there when court ad-journed yesterday. At this rate itIs thought the entire list of names ofJurors for 1901 will be exhausted beforea Jury is secured. A question willthen arise as to what shall be done,but It Is the opinion of the attorneysthat the co.urt has the power to sum-mon any citizens to serve.

The following were all of the fiftyto be served with summons to appearthis morning: C. C. Conradt, A. M.Keoho, Harry Armltnge, John A. John-son, A. W. Rice, J. M. Schnack, GeorgeKahanu, L. de t,.

STACKABLE WILL DISBURSE.The indications are that the new Im-

migration Station will soon be started.Collector Stackable received notice byyesterday's mail appointing him dis-bursing agent for the distribution offunds of the appropriation of $30,000

for the construction of nn Immigrationstation' at this port. '

While no statement to the effect wasmade, the appointment of the Collectorto tnke charge of the distribution of theappropriation Indicates that work Is tobe commenced very soon on the newbuildings. It was thought that a largerappropriation could be secured for thebuildings,, but evidently any attempt tosecure additional money Is not to delaythe use of the original appropriation.Orders regarding the commencement ofthe new station building are expectedalmost any time.

MUST PROVE THE LAW.United States Judge Dole and the

attorneys In the Ivanhoe case wereIn deep water for a time this morning,over the eff6rts of the defense to in-

troduce copies of British laws relatingto senmen and their rights. ConsulW. R. Hoare was called to the standto supply a copy of the Act of Par-liament relating to the matter. Heproduced a volume containing the lawand Dunne and Humphreys objected toIt on several grounds, among thembeing that it was not the best evidenceof the British law on the subject. Itwas claimed thnt the copy was notshown to be official.

Stanley asked by whose authoritythe book was published and the consulreplied that it was by authority of theBritish Parliament. The attorneys forthe defense then moved to strike tillsanswer out, claiming that the act au-thorizing the was the onlyproper evidence of such a fact. JudgeDole 'said he would reserve his de-

cision until the close of the cross ex-

amination. ?"We respectfully decline to cross-examine- ,"

said Dunne.A further objection was added by

the defense in that the book had awriting in It by Hoare showing anamendment to the act. Court adjourn-ed to this afternoon to allow Stanley totry to get a correct copy of the pre-sent law and prove that it Is such acopy.

The Issue of the case, It Is said, de-

pends upon the possibility of provingthe British law on the subject. The de-

fense is seeking to show that thecrew of the Ivanhoe, who are suing thevessel and master, had a hearing oftheir cose, In accordance with Britishlaw, before a court at Iqulqui, and wereordered back to the vessel. As therewere no complaints of 111 treatment af-ter leaving Iqulqui, It Is claimed thatthis former adjudication settles thematter.

KAPEA OFF

FOR ORIENT

POLICE HAVE LEARNED THAT

HE INQUIRED PRICE OF TEAM-SHI- P

PASSAGE SATURDAY.

Henry Knpea's embezzlement and de-

parture for Japan, which Is thought tobo his destination, appear.-- ! now to haebeen very shrewdly planned, and It Is

stated that under the .treaty laws heis safe from extradition. The voungman even went so far In Ills precau-tions as to see that none of his photoswere left behind and . to secure thenegative which he .knew whs In thepossession of Photographer J. J. Wll- -llnms.

"I believe the negntlve was stolenfrom my parlors," said J. J. Williams."I knew just where It was, but It hasdisappeared and It was not told. HowIt was obtained I do not know."

Preparations were begun nt ones tosecure the extradition of Kapea andIt was through efforts to get his photo-graph for this purpose that the loss Of'.he negative was discovered. Thephoto was desired as a part of thenecessary documents. It Is thoughtthat hete may be some copies In Ho-nolulu but none has been found yet.

The principal difficulty in the way ofextradition Is in the terms of the extradition treaty with Japan. The onlysort of embezzlement Included In thetreaty is the embezzlement of publicmoney. Hence It Is claimed, KapeaIs safe when he once gets to Yokohama.

Deputy Attorney General Peters Islooking up the law with a view toseeing what can be done in the matter. Kapea Is said to have been seenIn Honolulu after the Siberia left forSan Francisco, hence It Is supposedthat he took the China for the Orient.His effprts to negotiate the stolenbonds and his purchase of clothing ntthe Hub are regarded as disposing ofthe suicide theory.

The police believe that Henry Kapeahas gone to tho Orient. The missingcollector of the Hawaiian Trust Com-pany is known to have gone to theoffice of H. Hackfeld and CompanySaturday afternoon, and inquired theprice of steamship passage to Japaneseand Chinese points. He did not how-ever, purchase a ticket.

The probabilities are that he left onthe China Saturday afternoon for theOrient. Efforts will In nil probabilitybe made to effect his capture. Hemay however have departed by theSiberia for San Francisco on Saturday.

According to the statements ot J. R.Galt.of the Hawaiian Trust Companyabout $4,500 In. bonds nre missing fromthe vaults of the trust company. About

i,&uo of this money has been traced.One bond of $500 of the Wnlalua Plantation Issue was hypothecated to Bishopanu company's Bank to secure a noteof $350 made by Kapea. A secondbond on the Oahu Railway for thesame amount was placed by Kapeawttn the Spreckels Bank for $350 anda third Oahu Railway bond wns turn-ed over to J. E. Fullerton who madethe loan on It for James Campbell. Theamount of money advanced on the inntbond was $390 for six months at 1 percent u Tnontn.

Mill REPORTS A I1D MB(Continued from page five.)

The following offlcers and directors for the year were chosen: President,D. P. R. Isenberg; B. F. Dillingham: treasurer, F. M. Swanzyjsecretary, T. Cllve Davles; auditor, H. V. M. Mist; directors, W. D. McBryde,Albert Wilcox, R. W. T. Purvis,, J. M. Lydgate and T. Cllve Davles.

Manager William Stodnrt says In his report:

The weather lias been unusually cold and unfavorable for thegrowth of cane throughout the past year, barring the last quarterof the year Which was unusually mild and warm. This is thesecond year of cold weather and its effect is very apparent on thecrop under cultivation during that period and now being har-vested. The mild weather came too late to do that crop muchgood, but it has stimulated the growth of the young cane to beharvested next year, so that at this writing, owing to goodweather and an early start, it is the most promising crop yetgrown on this plantation.

The loss of mountain water is considerable at times. Comingai it sometimes does irregularly and in enormous quantities, thewaterways are often too small and the storage capacity toolimited.

The last of our present reservoirs was completed in July last.No other reservoirs have since been made or started, nor do wecontemplate any more for the present.

Pump No. i in Hanapcpc Valley has pumped 132 days of 24hours during the year; Pump No. 2 in Lawai Valley 95 days, andPump No. 3 in Hanapepc Valley 141 days, averaging about fourmonths altogether for the 12 months ending 31st December. Thetotal cost of Dumping for 1903, to wit: $44,119.81, is less thanfor 1902, although we were carrying a larger area and had lessrainfall. This result was due to increased economy in pumpingand the increase in reservoirs, enabling us to save and store morewater from the mountain freshets.

The total cost of pumping per million foot gallons for the pastseaSon including all repairs and a pro rata share of general super-intendence, office expenses, and directors expenses, is as follows:

The total cost of pumping for the year per acre was $9.90,showing that the water from the reservoirs and streams furnishedmuch the greater portion of the water used during the pastseason.

CROPS.

The crop of 1903 yielded i2,n632J tonsi which475 VoVo tons were manufactured at the mill of the Koloa SugarCompany, and for which service it was paid out of the yieldl9iWo tons sugar.

Siflo'd tons f tne J903 croP was shipped in December andcredited to realizations for the. year 1902 realizing $51,079.37.140I tons of the same crop was shipped in December 1903 whichrealized $7,759.47. These items added to the balance of thecrop gives us a total income for the years' crop of $697,534.40.The crop now being harvested consists of 1475.60 acres of

plant, 487. 2S acres of long ratoons and 281.87 acres of shortratcons, making a total of 2244.75 acres, which is estimated atthis date to yield 10,500 tons.

A large block of short ratoons intended for this crop wasthrown into long ratoons for the 1905 crop. This, with the leaf-hopp- er

and unfavorable weather, will bring the crop much lowerthan was anticipated a year ago.

The crop of 1905 consists of 793.52 acres of plant, 1332 acresof long ratoons and about 600 acres of short ratoons, making atotal of over 2700 acres, more than have thus far been harvestedon this plantation from any one crop. The condition of this cropat the present writing is very promising and from a preliminaryestimate has been figured to yield about 14,000 tons.

The leaf-hopp- er that did substantial injury to the crop nowbeing harvested when young decreased materially this past year,and has had no detrimental effect, thus far, on the young cane tobe ground next year.

The Company has acquired a lease from the Hawaiian SugarCompany and Messrs. Gay & Robinson of Makaweli, of the Ha-nape- pe

surplus water which will permit us to plant a larger areaand in consequence enable us to crop a larger acreage in future.

Our Accounts show an expenditure (see Ex. "A") for Perma-nent Improvements throughout the year of $98,743.62, excluding$12,500 for Depreciation which appears in Operating Expenses,which is in payment of a series of large contracts covering prin-

cipally reservoirs, land clearing, and railroad extensions, whichwere entered into the year previous and' closed this last year.The railroad to our Koloa fields is now finished and in operation.

We are now grinding the cane from those fields for the firsttime at our own mill, thus saving large yearly expenditures here-tofore paid to the Koloa Sugar Company for doing this work.

Algeroba trees have been planted in the gulches near thecamps with a view to reducing to a minimum at some futureperiod, the cost of fuel for laborers. Other trees in large num-bers have been set out for wind breaks, etc.

A large amount of work consisting of riprapping, grassing,fencing and otherwise safeguarding our reservoirs, which arenow in first class condition, has been completed during the year.A camp for laborers employed on the East Lawai and Koloalands with a good water supply and including a mule stable, hasbeen established at a point near the railroad at Kukuiula,

We have added to our stock of cane cars, built an additionalconcrete waste molasses tank, reconstructed the furnaces at thefactory to the "Burt" system of burning bagasse together with anumber of other small improvements to enable us to furtherreduce the cost of sugar manufacture. f

No more Permanent Improvements, as far as I know, arecontemplated for the present 'excepting such minor matters asmay come up incidentally in the regular routine.l Our net, operating expenses for the year, including taxes butexclusive of interest, bond expenses and depreciation, were $540,-4- ti

.90, being less by $44,489.31 than the year previous, althoughwe harvested and manufactured 4062 tons of sugar more and car-ried about 500 acres more of cane. Further substantial reductionsin operating expenses are planned for this year.

The total exnense of manufacture for the season was $2.69per ton which includes the expense of manufacturing the- lowgrades, all labor and supplies and a pro rata share of generalsuperintendence, office expenses, and directors fees, which gen-erally runs from 9 to 10 of the labor. The factory as a wholeis doing excellent work and I expect to be able to report nextyear a still further reduction in the cost, of manufacture.

We will make this year, for the first time,' a direct shipment of

2500 tons around the Horn by sailing vessel from the crop nowbeing harvested. , ',)

fices have been opened In San Fran-cisco and Los Angeles for circulatingprinted matter and also, for giving per-sonal information as to these islands,and the Promotion Committee statethat up to December 31, 1903 they havereplied to 700 letters of Inquiry, and 00

work of .the Promotion Committee haabeen well planned and energeticallyprosecuted. As to results, It is toosoon to expect any great diversion oftourist travel of Hawaii from theestablished popular resorts and In ouropinion the work If continued will indue course widely advertise Hawaii andattract not only tourists but also de-

sirable settlers and residents to ourshore. 'As to funds we cannot ex-pect further aid from 'the TerritorialGovernment for the present, and thecontinuance of' this wok will thereforedepend upon the support of the generalpublic, the special wharfage tax nowused for that purpose does not seem tofall oppreslvely upon any one, and, asIts expenditure through the Promo-tion Commltte will result In increasedbusiness with the Iniluence of travel tothe benefit of .those assessed for thispurpose we recommend the continuanceof said special wharf tax,

"In view of the fact that the.expensesof the Promotion Committee have beenmet by the public through the systemabove mentioned we are of the opinion.that they should be informed of thework accomplished and results to beexpected, and we therefore recommendthat the report of thePromotlon Com-mittee be published In one or moredally papers.

FATHER OP YOUTH WHO WAS

DROWNED IjAST NIGHT AT SIER-

RA PROMINENT FACTOR IN HA-

WAII SUGAR MATTERS.

Wehard Slemsen, who was drownedwhile coaling the S. S. Sierra last night,was the son of a very well-know- n na

of these Islands. The elderSlemsen came to the Islands many I

years ago. 'He engaged In mercantile ,

pursuits In llllo. He was from Gef- -many. He was left a large fortune bysome relative In Germany and wentaway to settle up the affairs. He laterreturned to Hllo and engaged In busl- - j

ness, but his stock of goods was morepretentious than the demands of the!public required. I

Slemsen was one of the early backers'of the sugar industry and It was hewho, furnished the capital to start andrun the Honokaa Plantation. Slemsenwas at the back of Honokaa Plantationfor a number of years and at one timewas reputed to be a very wealthy man.His business affairs became Involved,however, and In recent years he losthis wealth. He committed suicide atHonolulu some yens ago. The elderSlemsen unfortunately drank heavilyduring the later years of his life. Hehad three sons and a daughter. One ofthe sons, C. Slemsen, married MissDesha a year or so ago. The daughterIs Mrs. George Ross. Their mother livesIn Ewa.

DROWNED IN THE HARBOR.Wehard Slemsen a native stevedore

was drowned last night about 10:30

o'clock while engaged In coaling theS. S. Sierra. He crawled through oneof the port holes of the steamer to getonto the coal scow on the port 'side ofthe vessel. He made a mistake andclimbed through a port hole underwhich the scow was riot moored sohe fell Into the water. A vope wasthrown to him but he did not catchhold of it. His body rose once againand then disappeared. Efforts weremade last night to rrcover the bodybut without success. The youth wasbut 17 years of age. Ills mother livesat Ewa. A brother wns engaged incoaling the vessel at the time Wehardwas drowned. .

When the next appropriation Is madefor new lighthouses, It Is hoped thatLahnlnn will not be forgotten.

THE RED BOOK.The Red Book asks special attention

to the story which appears as Its lend-ing contribution In the March number.The editor seems to think that he hasmade a literary find In this story, whichIs eklled, "The Taste of an Afterwhlle."The author, Rem. A. Johnston, has notbeenjjpown heretofore, but If he cankeep .up the pace he sets for himself inthis story we shnll know more of himbefore long. It Is a tale of Indian lifesome fifty years ago, and Is notewor-thy for Its freshness and vigor of styleand the fascination of Its theme andplot. Briefly, It is a story of the effortmade by the outcast son of a horsethief who has been lynched, to estnbllshhimself in the favor of the little vil-

lage where he lives. Perhaps the storycannot be praised for Its technique, butno one will deny Its strength. GustavusC. Wldney has made some excellent

THE KOHALA DITCH.A. C Gehr was asked yesterday as

to his Intentions In the matter of thoKohala ditch franchise, which Is tobe offered at auction next Saturday.Gehr. refused to state what he woulddo, but It Is reported that he will havesome objections to make to the saleand that he 'will have a bid readyfn the event of the objections beingoverruled.

"There will be no other bona fidebfdders," said Gehr, when asked If hethought any parties aside from thoserepresented by him and those whomMcCrosson represents would competefor the franchise. It has been re-

ported that other parties were pre-paring to enter the competition, butonly two bids are yet In sight.

The terms of the offer have now beenfinally settled. The parties who getthe contract will have to begin workat once, as the time for constructionof the first section has been reduced toeighteen months. The ditch fs believedto be one of the greatest, If not thegreatest engineering proposition everattempted In the Islands. There Isone tunnel which w(II have to be con-structed for the ditch about a mileIn' length, and there will be other tun-nels and flumes.

The upper lands which are to bedrained aggregate over. 23,000 acres onwhich a heavy rain falls and fromwhich most of the water runs to thesea. Passengers to and from HIlo asthey pass along ' the coast 'see a suc-cession of waterfalls along the Hama-ku- a

bluffs, which shows some of thewater which the Kohala ditch peoplepropose to divert from the highlandsInto their great ditch, In which It Isto be carried Into Kohala lowlands. ItWill furnish Irrigation for a vast areaof land which Is practically uselesswithout water, much of It cane landand homestead land. The completionand opening of the ditch will thus addgreatly to the productive acreage ofthe Island of Hawaii.
