As an illustration OF the benefit re-
turned for labor bestowed, the writer
learned recently OF an experiment, upon
about forty orange trees by Mr.. Lycan
in the kalihi valley. In 1883, when
the owner took charge, he sold 10000
oranges Last year, after course OF
pruning back, the sales amounted to
$4,000, or over an average OF 1000
oranges to each tree, and the fruit i'm
proved, both in size and quality. A
visit 10 the ranch referred TO would
give ideas Of encouragement TO any
agTiculturisl, as would also a visi, to
the nurseries under Mr.. Jaeger's charge.
At kallhi, the writer saw cocoa tree,
large and ilourishing. from which beans
enough were obtained last year to dem

&" srILL HtRPING oN orr Diu0H-
TER"

In times OF commercial and lgricul-
tural depression sNoh as have beflllen
Hawaii, it behooyes her people to con-
slider gravely the important problem of
what can be done. Already in our
young history we have passed through
transition periods that tried the souls OF
men that we are proud to look back to
as examples OF energy and foresight
I.add. Titcomb, Metcalf, DR.. Wood and
Others that might be named. And to-
day, we meet with the same question
that they grappled with in our neglected
industries 1t is not time now to sit
down and hemoan the fact that it is to
our discredit that for years past we
have concentrated all our energies
on sugar and rice, thereby materi-
ally narrowing our export lis, from what
it was ten or twenty years ago. Blu,
recognizing the fact, it is becoming in
us to consider the feasibility OF Mr..
laeger's suggestions in the January
Planters Monthly, and see what can be
done in extending our lists OF products
and exports. Every body knows that
little systematic agricultural effort is
put forth here except in raising sugar,
rice and bananas, and it is only OF late
years that the latter has had such con-
siderate care. This is one OF the best
proofs that by systematic cultivation
more fruit is produced per acre and OF
a more uniform and better quality.
This is a natural result as all practical
farmers will readily admit, and yet, year
after year, we hear of nothing being
done actually to extend and improve our
production OF fruits. California is ex-
pcrlmenting with oranges, lines, bana-
mas, mangoes, pineapples, and all such
tropical fruits that these islands are SO
peculiarly adapted for both in soil and
climate, and that too with an amount
OF labor that would put us
to the blush, and yet as we can grow
oranges, for instance, that for lus-
ciousncSs throws the Los Angeles and
Central American product far into the
shade, and have an advantage over
Tahiti on account of distance, 1t would
certainly seem as If we were losing
ground to be satisfied simply with wha,
our orange trees chose to give us with
out any effort at cultivating the ground,
pruning, or overcoming the blight,

And Whytas His Msiesty's Government
have not taken steps to convert any Hawaiian
silver coins in the treasury into United States
gold coin but have used part Of the appro.
priation made by the Legislature Of 1884 for
the purpose Of defraying cost fsuch conversion,
in manner not warranted by law, and have
so increased the proportion Of silver to gold in
the special deposits as to make the redemption
Of the certificates in United States Gold coin,
as contemplated by the Currency Act of 1884,
impossible, and
Wlfbsas A committee Of this chamber
has been authoritatively informed that certih.
Gates Of deposit redeemed with United States
coin, amounting to $4,000, have been re-is.
sued for silver coins, contrary to the provisions
Of the currency act Of 1884, and
Whe,ras The Hawaiian Treasury has
this day refused to redeem the certificates Of
deposit with United States Gold coin.
Therefore Be IL Resolprd That this chamber
rescind the Resolution Of November 29, 1884.

with the explici, provisions Of the Currency

their own clients at least--as they did for the
last mail, I, is rumored that the government
will no longer take silver at the custom house.

For many years past there has been n
tradition IN this county that there was a
large amount oi buried treasure some
where near the l.ampasaS river in the
northwestern portion OF the county. The
tradition was that the treasure had been
buried there by McXicans when hotly
pursued by hostile Indians. Oi course
all the MeNicanS but one or two were
afterwards killed; and those who escaped
made haste TO return TO Mexico, where
years afterwards the story of the buried
treasure was told. Many persons have In
times past made fruitlcss search for it.
Thinking people had long since regarded
the tradition, like many others told
in different parts of the state,
without any foundation in fact, however.
Some two or three weeks ago, as Mr.. \

tion of the county where the treasure
was supposed to be hid he noticed par.
