SANDWICH IsLANDs.-Mr. Sprackles, arich
sugar rehner Of San Francisco has bought
over 10000 acres of barren wilderness in
the Hawaiian Isles, hitherto considered
non'agricultural, some dry mountain land,
some swampy. This enterprising man,
when our reciprocity treaty, making island
sugar free of duty, appeared safe Of con-
hrmatiOn, slipped over and coralled all the
sugar for three years ahead. He is coming
money. He is now about to irtigate his
dry land and to drain the swamps. lie
Will also make a railway to port. He will
then have plantations Of sugar cane and
ree, more productive than any now in
cultivation. California gets one-third of its
sugar from the islands. In few years this
will be doubled. This enterprise has stirred
up the planters everywhere remote from
port, and many are contemplating regular
system of railways in the islands.
