PLANTERS, COLUMN.

We observe In the Scientific Ameicrn IS
November 9th an account and engraving Of n
very largo vacuum pan, which Mcssrs. X.
Deoy & Co., Of New York City arc mauufac-
turing for Mr. Clans Spreckels Of San Fran
cisco. Tho pan will hold 1900 gallons and
yield at every strike about $50 to 200 barrels
Of dry sugar Although IL feet In diameter,
It ia constructed in sections Of comparatively
small plates bolted together, plan which
would be very valuable for some Of our plan
tetions to which 1t is difficult 10 transport
heavy and unwisldy pieces Of machinery.
Tho curved pipe to the condenser, 8 feet in
diameter, when boltcd together, looks gil
gnntic affair. We presume IL may be said that
this great piece Of work might not have been
undertaken, but for the Hawaiian Reciprocity
Treaty
A good many Of tho recent arrivals Of
Chinese arc shipping on the sugar plantations
at $40 per month, on two years engagement,
advance $50. Another steamer load is ex-
peoted in two weeks, and although the Chinese
for Mr.. Spreckcls were too latc for tho GU NJ
Pekin, II is expected that they will come by
tho succeeding Pacific mail steamer. We have
noticed good many lots going down TO the
different inter island steamers and schooncrs,
and although there were somo Of the gangs
which seemed to consist Of fine strong men,
others consisted largely Of boys or elderly
men. 1t will be we'll for tho planters agents
10 look out for the class OF Chinese they get.
The Chinese planters seem to know how to
obtain real agricultural laborers, but chance
vessels may perhaps only succeed in taking
together tie rowdy boys about the towns, and
their grandTathors.
We are glad TO hear that the wire rope tram
way at Rcalia, Kauai, is now reported sue
| ccss. Every improved method Of getting cano
to the mill, where huning Is not practicable,
IL Of great Importance 10 our planters. Mar
row guagc rails and locomotives seem also TO
answer well in many situations, and we have
heard it suggested that locomotives on the
compressed air system would be particularly
suita bic amongst our cane fields. The engine
that drives the mill might perhaps be made TO
work the air compressor.
What has become Of the Royal Hawaiian
Planters Association 1t really looks az IL a
Planters Association in Honolulu was not n
feasible project. One reason, we doubt not In
that the planters are not in Honolulu but scat
tored about the group, hundreds Of miles from
each other.
At a meeting Of the Privy Council held on
Thursday the 23d, an ordinance was passed,
appointing limited number Of agents, licensed
to act as shipping masters, for those inmi
grants who may arrive here, net specially in
the charge of the Board Of Immigration, or
under contract for service.
