Another Railroad for the Northwest.


OTTAWA, Sept. 12.-E. A. G. Pew has
completed arrangements and signed a
contract with the Souris& Rocky Noun
tain railway company to build q line
from a point on the Canadian Pacific
railway, 100 miles west or Winnipeg, to
the Rocky mountains. Mr.. Pew has
also purchased q controlling interest in
the company. It is proposed to expend
$50, 900 the first month and $500 the
second month on construction this sea-
8 n. Parties have started with plans
and specifications and work will begin
this week, the first fifty miles to be COM
pleted by the first of June, 1883, and the
balance in time to comply with the
terms of the CHI rter. The railway runs
in a northwesterly direction through
Rapid City and Edmonton. The country
through which the line passes is the
same as chosen for the route of the Paci-
fic railway during the late government
and is considered TO be superior to cay
other part OF the Northwest, which is
sustained by the fact that the great bulk
of settlement is on the line of the Souris
g. Rocky Mountain.

" parties in power to allow pub
lie documents to be printed" in such
an anti-government organ as the
Gazette, for the sake of promoting
general publicity;" but it is hard to
convince the public that those same
'parties in power have not shown
themselves to be "thin-skinned' in
their treatment Of the adverse por-
tion Of the native press. We, in our
short-sightedness, fail to see why
one native journal should 'sullicient-
ly diffuse" information among the
native population, when two foreign
journals are needed for n similar
diffusion" among the MUCK smaller
foreign population. Perhaps the
.1ducrtiser can make it clear.

Maui.
tFrom our own Correspondent.l

NtrOm our own COrreSHOnuentl
A short time before noon of We'd
nesday we arrived at Kahului, after
a voyage of nearly 20 hours from
Honolulu. A few minutes ride on
the railroad (not in Pullman cars)
brought us to Wailuku. Those who
have made the same voyage need
not be told that 1, not being a very
good sailor, was in condition to
enjoy rest much better than trip
among the plantations that after
noon. Thursday | went to Waihee
and took hasty glance at what was
going on in that part of the country,
while Friday and half of Saturday
were spent in seeing the sights on
the Spreckels' plantation.
One story with slight variations
may be told of all of the plantations
which / have seen. The mills have
shut down, but preparations are
making for big run late in the
year. Machinists are all busy
making repairs and improvements in
the machinery. And the same energy
is shown in the work out of.doors.
All hands are busy plowing, plant
ing and cultivating the fields. When
l saw eight yoke of oxen drawing a
single plow it occurred to me that
an Improvement on that method of
plowing is at least possible. The
sight of the steam plow running on
the Spreckels' plantation added
strength to the conviction. Two
small engines draw gang of three
fourtcen-inch plows back and forth
across a field with speed far
greater than horses. The success
of this plow does not seem equal to
that reported from Minnesota and
Dakota, but the amount of work
done by a given number of oxen
here would, probably, differ more
from that done by the same number
there. All things considered, the
success of this plow seems cncour-
aging. When l saw it, il was plow-
ing ground which had never been
cultivated before.
The meetings carried on by Mr..
lIallenheck and others certainly did
considerable amount of good
more or less permanent. Their in
fuencc seems to have extended to
foreigners almost as much as to .he
Hawaiians.
Coming to Lahaina on Saturday /
found the Lahaina plantation, like
those of East Maui, the scene of
general activity. All are preparing
to make the next crop larger than
any has been in the past. T.S.H.

matter Is DfeNy eNpi9lneu, 10 lne
entire satisfaction of the .1drertiSer
but the BULLETIN does not see it i'll
precisely similar light. Not that
we think the Government notices
and other Government documents
should appear in every newspaper
published in the Kingdoms this is
neither necessary nor economical.
Nor do we for one moment suppose
that the BULLETIN should be made
the vehicle of Government notices
and other Government documents.
Therefore, let not the 1dUertiSer be
so credulous as to believe, or so
weak-minded as to imagine, that we
are guilty Of uttering " lamentations
shout Government printing patron
age" or are desirous of securing
"official favor" But we do hold,
with the advertiser, that all Govern
ment documents of public nature
should be "printed in journals cal
culated to promote general pub
licity;" and further, contrary to the
-10O:rtiSer, that such documents are
not at the present time being so
printed.
We are free to admit that of the
two foreign journals published on
Saturdays . ii is reasonable that the
one of the largest circulation should
receive the patronage" and that "two
are not needed" No doubt the two
foreign journals-1drertiSer and
Gazette-representing as they do the
two parties of - Ins and I" "Outs,"
embrace very nearly the whole Of
the foreign readers in the commun-
ity, and publication in these two
journals " would sufficiently diffuse
publications for foreign informa-
ton.
Yet we cannot admit that Z" publ
cation in either one of the native
journals would sufficiently dih'use
publications for native information.
IT may be true that the three native
journals have " about an equally
large circulation" although we have
reason for thinking it is not true.
BE that as it may, it is m easy mat.
ter to prove that publication in the
Elele alone does not " sufficiently
diffusc for native information !" for
there are large numbers of native
people, regular readers Of the HuO-
kOd or Pue Ii1e", who never see the
.Ele5e. Notwithstanding our limited
acquaintance with tHawaians, we
could name dozens Of native families
right here in the city who patronze
one or other Of the first named
papers to the exclusion of the last.
Moreover, we are confidently assured
by intelligent Hawaiians, who have
no interest IN the matter one way or
the other, chat a considerable major
ity Of the native people are not
readers of the EIeIe. And for that
reason all Government notices and
other documents intended for public
information should appear in at
least one Of the other native jour
mails. We are not saying that Gov
ernment patronage should be with
held from the Lte!e, but we do as
sert that coafning it to the EleIe is
not calculated to promote public
convenience.
1t is, no doubt, magnanimous of

A GENTLEMAN informed us yester-
day that a short time ago, while he
was away from home, his house was
broken into, and money, jewellery,
and liquors were stolen. He placed
the matter in the hands of the
police, and, day or two afterwards,
a messenger from the police office
was sent to him, asking him to state
the value of the articles stolen, and
alleging as reason that although
the goods might not be recovered,
still the value of them might be OBJ
tanned in time to give it to him be-
fore he left for Europe on the next
steamer. The gentleman naturally
supposed from this that the robber
was known to the police, and stated
that that his desire was not to get
the value of the things stolen, but to
punish the thief. However, so far,
the police have not made any dis.
covery in the matter, and most prob
ably, the gentleman will go away
and impress other intending visitors
with an unfavorable idea of the Sc
curity of property in these islands.
