THIS DON'T INCLUDE US"
At Least That Is What Mana ger
DALEY Says.

The following is an extract from
the San Francisco Music and
Drama, and very thoroughly covers
several articles previously pub-
lished by the ADVERTISER
ga funny theory is advanced by a
Western paper that a poor theatrical
company benefits town more than a
good one. The ground taken is
the fact that while a poor at
traction brings money into town,
pays rent, board-bills, bill-posters
away. At first glance this looks
plausible, even if it is poor way for
a town to make money; but it is not
founded in fact. The truth is, that an
attraction, however poor, would have
to do a wretched business, indeed, not
to be able to pay board-bills and other
expenses for itself. The shortage, if
any, would be sure to come out of the
town in some way, and If the re-
ceipts and expenditures broke even
the town would benefit only on
the principle that robbing Peter to
pay Paul keeps money in active circu-
Iation. When a community gets into
the idea that all its money must re-
one that will hold it out of the high
way of progress. y prosperous COM
pany leaves a larger percentage of its
profits in the town than the enter
prising Eastern firms permit local
merchants to retain in these days of
competition and cut rates, and it is
safe bet that a good theatrical town
is thriving commercially. Dead show
towns are dead in every other sense,
and it is a notable fact that when they
do break the rule by patronizing an
entertainment it is, in nine cases out
of ten, one that has no claim whatever
to such consideration. The fact is,
the public of such towns are the
poorest judges of theatrical entertain
ments and generally have no apprecia-
ton of the drama when it is brought
into competition with circus or a
minstrel company. First class amuse-
ment of any kind benefits any town,
directly or indirectly, to the full eX-
tent of the money taken out of it,"
Honolulu is metropolitan in all
other ideas and will prove metro
politan in this.

Agent for the Siphon Water
Elevator, which is automatic, for
irrigation, city supply, farms, etc.
This invention as it's name indicates
is based upon the principle of the
siphon known to the Ancients but
it is devised in such manner as to
greatly enlarge the field of applica
ton. Used until today only for the
drawing off of liquids to lower level,
the siphon now becomes an
Automatic Water Elevator, which
under favorable conditions IS en-
dowed with great powers In many
instances, land situated higher than
the irrigation ditch can be irrigated
at nominal expense. The Siphon
Elevator is especially adapted for
such conditions, as it can elevate the
water from the main irrigation ditch
to higher one, while the waste is
available for irrigating the lower
levels. The siphon elevators are
made of brass and iron in sizes
ranging in capacity Of from two
hundred to three million gallons per
day.

Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE Laws OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill eX-
ceeded any of it's former
records by closing the 1875
hours grinding with an output
of 3004 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
1.-The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently ,erec-
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
3 per cent. to > per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being Is
to rs per cent, according to
quality.
Il continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
1.-The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.
1.-The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention.
wPlans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen
at the office of
