Afternoon Session.

Meeting opened in executive session at
l 80 p. N. The subject Of a change in
the organization of the Company was
brought up and discussed, when the
regular order of business was taken up.
Mr.. T. R. Walker presented and read
a report on Forestry.
On motion of Mr.. w. O. Smith the
report was accepted and ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. Baldwin in remarking on the sub
ject said that HiIo grass kept out Ian
tana. Hilo grass will spread wherever
the timber is cut, and choke out every
thing. Cattle, mules and horses will eat
the bark and leaves of young trees in
preference to any kind Of grass unless it
Is very rich, and he thought the Govern
ment ought to do something to protect
our forests, as cattle were destroying
them as fast as they could grow, even to
the roots He favored the drawing of a
bill to be presented to the next legisla-
ture for the protection OF our forests.
Mr.. j. NJ. Lydgate, chairman of the
committee on fertilizers, sent in re-
port, not being able to be present, which
was read by the secretary, Mr.. w. 0.
Smith.
On motion of Mr.. T. R. Walker the
report was accepted and ordered printed.
Mr.. Geo. Williams said that in Hilo
formerly 1000 pounds were used, but
now they had found that 800 or 400
pounds were sufficient. They found they
were overriding it. They ought to fer
tilize when the cane was about two or
three feet high. Too much fertilizer
burns the cane. Lime is good on red
soil-it requires it. 1t does not do out
side of red soil. a fertilizer called sheep
wash does well-makes great deal of
difference.
Mr.. Baldwin thought that lime kills
the borer if used when the cane is two
or three feet high. Thought that soils
ought to be analysed more thoroughly,
in fact ought to have man for that pur
pose.
Mr.. Whitney spoke of the benefit of
using bone meal and the benefits de-
rived to cane in relation to drouth.
Mr.. Williams presented short report
of the growth of the sugar crop for 1889
giving total of over 12O,000 tons.
The President then notified the meet
ing that the questions OF reorganization
and Portuguese immigration would be
the first to be brought forward on open
ing tomorrow morning, after which the
report of Mr.. Spalding on sugar.
On motion of Mr.. w. O. Smith the
meeting adjourned to meet at 10 a. IN.

THE DAILY
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1883.

CATTLE are low. That is a fact and
there are by no means very prosperous
times before our ranchers. Something,
however, might be done if they could
break down a monopoly or two. When
articles are low, the consumption is
larger, and the profit can be made by
selling a larger quantity. That OF course
can only be done by selling at a reduced
rate, for cheapness increases the demand.
But however low the stock raiser may
sell at, the consumer is still obliged to
pay high rates. The consequence is that
the stock raiser has limited market.
How low cattle are may be judged when
a considerable number of we'll grown
calves changed hands the other day at
five dollars head. The ranch that was
doing the business found that it paid to
sell as low as that, but it did not suit the
manipulators elsewhere, and a stop was
put to the sale. Yet at this price the
ranch was doing rather better than by
shipping to Honolulu. However, it is not
only the outlet at Honolulu that our cat
tie men should look to. There are large
cattle lands here that would carry far
more stock than they do now. If some
proper and profitable outlet could be
found, the amount of stock on the vari-
GUS runs could be advantageously in
creased.
The country imports large quantity
of salt beef and considerable quantity
of timed beef. The curing of beef was
some twenty or thirty years ago profit
able business, and men like Macy &
Louzada, of Hawaii, and Krull, of Kauai,
for many years realized handsomely
from it. Then came period of depres-
sion, after the collapse of the whaling
feet in 1872, for it was to the whaling
feet that the beef used to be sold, and
the industry died a very gentle and
peaceful death. Everyone was eager to
make money out of sugar. There was a
demand for cattle for the plantations and
the ranchers found it more profitable to
raise working oxen than to sell fresh
beef. But that halcyon time could not
last forever. The plantations have gone
into the cattle business for themselves,
or have taken controlling interests in
contiguous lands, and raise their own
working cattle and supply their own
beef. The ranchman pure and simple
is, therefore, in a hard case. His pro-
duct is good. Why cannot he make a
profit on his labor? He must face the
present position. Combination would
very soon break down the monopoly.
Determination would soon enable him to
find market for his product in some
preserved form. We have suggested
sailing or corning. There is no reason
why this country should not tin beef.
Both for salt and timed beef there is a
steady demand here, as witness our Gus
tom House returns. Why should we
go abroad for our supplies, when we can
produce them here just as well.

MISSIONS.
The Meeting of the American Board at
Cleveland.

Cleveland.
The religious papers give full accounts
of the seventy-ninth annual meeting of
the American Board at Cleveland. 1t is
the first under the new arrangement, no
provision being now made for the gratui-
tous entertainment of those who at
tended. But the attendance of corporate
members was very large, and the pro-
ceedings were harmonious and enthusi-
astic. The financial prosperity reported
was encouraging, the total receipts reach
ing 1907 900. Yet the demands of the
work are so increasingly urgent, that the
call OF the secretaries for $3.50, 900 in
crease in annual donations was felt to be
none too much. The number of mis-
sionaries sent out, twenty-Dine, is only
about the average for the last fourteen
years, and men as much as money are
needed for the work.
The annual report recognized the need
of new laborers for the Hawaiian Islands,
while lamenting the lack of any suitable
men for the work. The special papers
presented were on the financial outlook,
and on the special opportunities in India
and in China. Higher education in In
dia demands increased expenditure.
China is feeling the pressure OF Occi-
dental civilization, but seems to be Off
cially shutting itself more and more
against the regenerating influences of
Christian truth and Christian institu-
tons.
Rev. DR.. Storrs has proved very eff
cient as well as acceptable presiding
officer. Some changes were made in
the bylaws to bring them into harmony
with present usages of administration.
The old officers were reelected unani-
mously. A committee of fifteen was ap-
pointed to consider in what way the
Board may possibly be brought into
closer relations with the churches and
individuals that support it,

cation, says the Free Press, aud, as has
often happened to white men under the
same circumstances, he got dead broke

One day, when he had reached the thir.

There was q smart Aleck on the wagon,
aud he ordered q halt and said:
sTve got to lick this niger or we won't
catch any fish to-day"
Several Of the people protested and arg.
ued, but the young man was bound Il

his coat, and said:
.Nigger, can you fightS"
NO, sah," replied Peters as he hacked
away.

He put up his dukea and made a rush.
Then tho heavens and the earth seemed 70

the country exploded at once.

He was q true prophet. .Alect opened

How about do Ash, sah?s asked Peters.
as the wagon was about to 60 on.
