SMITH AND HALL
A Purse to Be offered for the Pittsburger
and the Australian.

A Purse to Be offered for the Pittsburger
and the Australian.
There is possibility of glove contest to
a finish between Ed. Smith and Jim Hall.
The President OF the Coney Island Athletic
Club has notified the Pittsburg hackers of
Smith that the club will offer a good purse
for Smith and Hall, but that no side bet will
be allowed.
Some time ago the Coney Island Club Off
cials were asked to give Smith chance.
They replied that after considering the mat
ter, they would offer purse for Smith and
either Jim Hall, Peter MGher or Joe Choyn-
ski. Smith replied that he preferred Hall to
either OF the other two, and if Hall declined
he would meet Maher, and ii he also de-
clined he would meet Choynski
Smith believes the last named to be
really good man, and he has not as much
confidence of de feating him as he has of de-
fcating Hall or MaEer. Still Smith is willing
to meet him. 1t now rests with Hall to sny
whether or not he will meet Smith. Prob
ably he will have too many engagements
elsewhere.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The report of the Committee on
Fertilizers was ordered accepted and
published.
Mr.. T. r. Walker then read
lengthy report on Hawaiian Forestry
which was disposed of in the same
manner.
Hon. J. NJ. Horner did not believe
in planting common trees, particu-
larly of the eucalyptus variety at the
Government Nursery, and thought
that the people and the country at
large would receive more benefit if
trees had been planted instead. He
had no faith in the popular idea that
forest growth increased the fall of
rain, and did not consider that any
effort of mankind could cause or pre-
vent dOwnpOur from the heavens.
Mr.. w. w. Hall agreed also that
productive trees should have been
planted, while Mr.. w. II. Richard
took the part Of Mr.. Jaeger who was
responsible for the tree planting at
the Government Nursery. He c9mpli-
mented that gentleman for the great
interest he has always taken in Ha-
waiian forestry matters. He was of
the opinion that Mr.. Jaeger thought
he was doing the proper thing at the
time when the trees were planted.
The speaker remarked on the de-
creased rainfall ut Hamakua and
thought that the diminishing forest
growth was the cause. He was of
the opinion that cattle destroyed the
trees and thought that some pressure
should be brought to bear on the
owners of cattle to limit the area over
which their cattle should roam.
Hon. II. p. Baldwin said that for
ests brought rain, and if Mr.. Horner
had been in Honolulu thirty years
ago he would now agree that the
increased foliage in and about this
city had a great tendency to draw
moisture. He was sure that when the
trees at the Government nursery were
planted lemon and orange trees would
not take root, and therefore the efforts
of Mr.. Jaeger should not be criticized,
but, on the contrary, he is entitled to
credit for the great interest he has al
ways evinced in forestry matters
The speaker considered the matter
under discussion a very important
one, and attention must be paid to the
same, as the kOa tree has been at
tackled by an insect which threatens
to totally destroy that variety of
wood.
Col. Z. :. Spalding remarked that
for the present the bulk of planters
could not spend any great amount of
money towards enclosing lands for
raising trees unless there was quick
and certain income. He believed that
cattle had destroyed a great many
young trees, but could not damage
those of mature growth. He believed
that the planting of trees should be
commenced in moderate way, and
was of the opinion that a dense forest
growth was an important factor in
causing rain to fall. The speaker re-
lated his unsuccessful experience with
planting California fruit trees. He
thought that if any practical results
could be shown by coffee raisers,
plenty of money could be had to place
in that industry.
Mr.. c. NJ. Cooke stated that when
the Waianae plantation was started,
there were butfew trees on the ground
but now acres of algaroba trees can be
seen. He said this was one instance

EVENING SESSION.

Hon. II. NJ. Whitney, chairman, was
read by the secretary. The writer
said that ramie could be raised Oh
these islands wherever moist soil
could be found.
The report was accepted and placed
on Gle.
\ valuable report on Fruit Culture,
prepared by Hon. l.. A. Thurston,
chairman, was read by the secretary.
The total exports of pineapples up to
date had been 1927. Honorable
John Ena had planted 1000 pine
apples at his plantation at NIanOa
Valley, in 1890 and 1891, and ex-
poets to plant $4,000 more plants in
1898. The price of pineapples at the
Coast ranges from 81 to Sc per dozen,
according to the quality and season.
NIessrs. l.. w. Jordan and S. NJ. DAM
on have u plantation at Moanalua.
with - 900 imported plants growing.
They will increase it to "A, 000neXtyear.
The Pearl City Pineapple Co. have
$4,000 imported pineapples now grow
ing at Eva, and they expect to add
$4,000 more plants by the end of this
year, and they will double it in 1898.
Many of the planters favored a co.
operative cannery. The WOodlawn
Fruit Co. has just received an invoice
of $4,000 from the Bahama Islands,
They will increase their plant in
'93. According to Mr.. Kidwell, the
pioneer exporter of pineapples, the
exports of pineapples during 1893
would far exceed the consumption Of
ket. Mr.. Kidwelps plantation at
Manoa contains about $4,000 pine
apple plants. Mr.. Chas. Wilcox had
been the largest exporter of native
pineapples during 1892. The total
number of pineapples in the ground,
exclusive of Kona pineapples, is esti-
mated at 294 ZOO plants in 1892, AMI
this number will be raised to $50, coo
during 1888. This latter number
would still be greatly increased if the
80 per cent. United States duty were to
be removed. The pineapple crop of
the Bahama Islands in 1890 was 49,
600 dozen, worth S242 900; as against
2S3, 900 dozen worth 1924, 800 in 1889.
Hon. II. p. Baldwin read his report
on manufacture of sugar. At the
conclusion of this report, Col. Spaltl-
ing gave his views about sugar MAX

Labor Report.
To the President of the Planters Labor
and Supply Co.

To the President of the Planters Labor
and Supply Co.
DEAR SIR: For your consideration |
beg to submit thu following Labor Re-
port:
Before the time fJr the holding OF the
Annual meeting OF the Planters Labor
and Supply Co. / had hoped that the
four bills on the subject OF labor now
brought before the present Legislature
might lave been acted upon, as the re-
ports oil the committee and debate IN the
House Will bring forth statistics and val
liable opinions in detail, that could not
be as well obtained in any other way.
That we require cheap labor, plenty Of
it, OF different nationaiitieS, under proper
restrictions is, | believe, an admitted
fact, not only for the salvation OF many
Of our sugar estates, but also in the pur
suit of new agricultural industries, and
the hOmeSteader. Especially is this SO
if We are to compete with foreign COun-
tries in raising coffee, cjnchona, ramje,
spices and other tropical products. Al
though our rates of wages have been ma
terialIy reduced during the past two
years, even now, especially with our Old
contract people, they are much too high.
This is noticeable when we consider that
our present Japanese represent to the
planter about $40 month, which, how
ever, is being gradually modified by en-
plOying them when their contracts eX-
pire, las also the Chinese,) at from $l2
to $l4 per month with nothing furnished
but dwelling house.
Even at as low a rate as : per month
it will be seen that our prospects will be
severely handicapped if we are to com
pete with India, where they produce
large quantities of tea, fiber and silk,
etc, with wages at s cents per day, or
Cey'ol and China, at l6 cents to 20 cents
per day, or the British West Indies,
who ship TO England and NV York, at
20 cents per day, where in many cases
they work Is hours day.
Considering the experience OF Queens
land, where they stopped tie importa-
ton Of black labor nearly to the ruin OF
their industries, and oblging them to re-
sumo it, it will certainly point out to Us
the necessity for keeping up the supply,
and that such importation should come
from different countries, that we may
have variety Of nationalities, il, be
lieve, generally conceded.
From March IL, 1891, to June Is, 1891,
there arrived in this kiuUdOm
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-11-17

And although the Legislature will have
this matter under serious consideration
it is a subject of so much importance
in general and in detail, it would seem
advisable to have committee appointed
by the Planters Labor and Supply Co.
to investigate the question and confer
with the Labor committee appointed by
the House.
Respectfully submitted,
Il. d. WALBRIDGE,
Chairman Labor Committee.
Honolulu, November 10, 1892.
On motion of Hon. J. Marsden the
report was accepted.
Hon. H. p. Baldwin said that with
regard to the Labor Committees report
there should be some action taken by
the legislature. He urged the meeting
to bring Il strong report to the Legis-
lature. He moved to reconsider the
vote on the Labor Committees re-
port. He moved it be referred to q
committee of three of which Col. L.
:. Spalding should be chairman.
Hon. w. %. Smith favored Mr.. Bald
wins idea. He considered the labor
bill matter of national Importance.
The motion was put and carried.
Col. Spalding, being member of
trustees, said with regardt to labor bill,
the difficulty heretofore had been
that the recommendation had not
come from practical planters. The
matter heretofore had always been at
tended to by agents, lawyers, doctors,
etc.
The Chair appointed a committee
of three on labor bill: Messrs. Col.
Shading, kaV and IOWrie.
Hon. J. NJ. HOrner, read the report
of the Committee on Cultivation.
President Young said it was great
pity not to discuss the reports as they
were read.
Mr.. Marsden and Mr.. Baldwin
agreed to that.
Mr.. Marsden said he had found it
useful to stir up the subsoil, but not
to bring it to the surface.
Mr.. Horner said this was new sub
iect. He had stated facts and results.
Did not mean to say that you must
never pillow deep under any circum-
stances. He would like to ask Col.
Spalding how much he got when lie
plowed Is inches.
Col. Spalding said they did not
want the earth in Kauai. They were
satisfied with about six tons.
Hon. J. NJ. HOrner thought he
would have got more sugar if he had
ptowed carefully inches. The first
& inches of soil contained more food
than the next feet.
Col. Spalding said the upper layer
would soon be exhausted. They
stirred up the subsOil, not bringing it
to the surface. The second year it
would no longer be bad soil. OF
couse the deeper the roots went, the
better the cane would be. There
