opera house, now that the old
one that stood idle month in
and month out, is gone they
want a place of amusement.
There's nothing like being de-
prived of a thing to make
people feel they must have it.
But where is the money to
come from? The people here
who have money to spare are
not those who build theatres
or anything else through pub
lie spiritedness, there must be
in sight some return for the
investment and none can be
seen in the theatre project. 1t
is pretty we'll understood that
the old opera house was an
expense of about two thousand
dollars a year to its owners
with an offset of about $500
per year for rentals. Not
much money in the invest
ment is there? Americans
will tell you that there is not
city the size of Honolulu any
where in the West but what
has its opera house and two or
three electric railway lines, but
if you ask who built them you
will learn that it was through
the energy and enterprise of
men who had corner lots and
outside property for sale.
Honolulu is one place on the
map that has not had, and
probably never will have, a
real estate boom; its 'just a
stiddy growth" An opera
house will not bring any better
returns in Honolulu than
would an ice factory at the
North Pole and the people
who want one built know it.
How many people are there in
Honolulu that would subscribe
a thousand dollars each toward
building one? Not a dozen
outside the editors of the news
papers; but show an invest
ment that will bring them a
guaranteed return of 25 per
cent. and they would tumble
over each other to put their
names down on the subscrip-
ton list.
If you are thinking about
painting your house you can
do nothing better than exam
inc our cards showing colors
of Hendry's Ready Mixed
Paints. You can find in the
assortment, just what you
need for either inside or out
side work, and you can get
more satisfactory results than
if you bought white lead and
oil and mixed you own colors.
The pigment in our mixed
paints is the best that can be
found anywhere; the lead is
just lead, and the zinc is pure
zinc. You get no whiting and
oil in our compounds. These
mixed paints will stand the
wear and tear of this climate
better than any other paint
manufactured. We simply ask
you to try them and see that
our statements regarding the
quality of the paint are not
exaggerated.
Solid silverware is almost as
much in demand as it was |
Christmas time-it is useful |
twelve months in the year and
just as acceptable to your wife
as it was two months ago. |
Our stock is kept filled up at
all times so that we can supply
any demand made upon us.
The Haviland China we
show you is rather better than
anything We have ever shown
before; the designs are differ

A SPECIAL to the Bee from Norfolk,
Neb., says; "There are about 1000
acres Of sugar beets in Norfolk dis
trict, all laid by and IN much better
condition than in any previous year.
Recent rains haYe benefited the beets
greatly and with continued favorable
conditions for root development, the
results of the harvest will exceed
other seasons and will probably be
more than 10000 tons, which would
mean al output of some 100000
pounds of graduated sugar and a run
OF more than 100 days and nights.
The advantages Of beet culture were
clearly demonstrated last year. Dry
weather reduced the tonnage, but
made the roots richer in sugar. It is
believed that the enormous sugar out
put of the state this year will be q
factor in the worlds sugar market"

THE KANSAS QUEEN,
Alfalfa Shows the Way Out.

EDITOR CHAMpIoN:--I would seem
that Kansas and other western states
! are not alone in appreciation and pro-
ductlon of alfalfa or in finding it in
some respects and under various con-
lditions a more desirable and profit
able crop than the everywhere valued
clover.
note by the consular reports from
that country that the area in France
devoted to alfalfa growing in 1898
was 1924 O4 acres, yielding 2122,160
tons, valued at the magnificent total
of S51, ISL, l53. Also, that the land
devoted to clover was 2,637,118 acres,
yielding 1,943,15 tons, valued at
$43,O55,325.
According to this showing their
yield Of clover was but 1,474 pounds
per acre while that of the alfalfa was
nearly 81 per cent more or 22O5
pounds; the clover was valued by
them at S22.15 per ton and the alfalfa
at S24 IL, or about 8 per cent more.
Putting it in another way, their
acre in clover produces value of
SIG 80 and an acre in alfalfa $2607,
or almost 60 per cent more than the
clover.
Again: An acre of alfalfa yields
them so per cent more hay than an
acre in clover; it's product Is worth 8
per cent or nearly So per ton more,
ton for ton, and nearly $40, or 60 per
cent more acre for acre.
In 1894 Kansas had 90,825 acres in
alfalfa, and this year has, according
to official returns, very close to 125,000
acres which is an increase of 80 per
cent This, together with the fact
that FIVE years ago there were but 3D.
1854 acres, suggests that in the half
decade since their attention was first
sharply attracted to the value and
adaptabillty of the plant the farmers
Of Kansas have embarked in its cul-
ture with much energy, not only on
the low lands where the underfow is
within easy root-reach but on the
higher prairies as well. While alfalfa
gives sure promise Of being a boon to
Kansas and contiguous states, there
are undoubtedly localities, soils and
conditions to which it is but poorly
adapted. To be persuaded of its
worth and importance does not neces.

Its being perennial that we'll root

in feeding quality being right up

or the best of other hays, and its
yielding from two to four and some

grasses that afford but one, makes it

none more so than those who know it

SCENIC HOME TRACT.
The Sale Of Oakland's Boulevard Ira
Certain of Success

The Sale Of Oak1and's Boulevard Tract
Certain of Success.
Saturday next will witness the sale of
the boulevard tract in Oakland, and the
event promises to attract large throng of
SPECTATORS and home-seekers. It has been
long time since such notable sale took
place across the bay, for $4,000 has been
spent in Improvements preparatory to the
approaching auction.
The boulevard property is eminentIy
the finest for residence purposes in Oak
land 1t is destined to be the first link in
the chain of fine homes which will be con-
structed around Lake Merritt, and it has
the advantage of location over all the rest.
for, while it enjoys the scenic charms, it is
located the closest to town, and hence be-
comes of greater value for homes for bust
ness men.
Two OF the leading electric roads of Oak
land pass the property, and all of the other
lines that come to town are within radius
of half dozen blocks. AS for the pictur-
esqueness OF the spot it has the blue peace
full waters of Lake Merritt at its feet and
the hills and valleys of Piedmont to the
north.
The entire tract is macadamized and
surrounded by cement sidewalks, and is
drained by a complete sewer system. It
has most thorough communication to all
parts of Oakland, for it's southern boundary
is Twelfth street, the eastern outlet of the
city, and on the north and east the princi-
pal thoroughfares of town are reached.
Exceptionally easy terms have been ar
ranged for the sale, only one-fifth cash be-
ing required.

The Special Library Tax.
Although not quite rs enthusiastic as
they were a few weeks ago the advocates
for a special library tax have not given up
hope. When the municipal tax levy is
taken up by the Trustees the levy will, no
doubt, be thoroughly discussed. City
Trustee Flette is in favor of a special levy
because majority of the people voted in
favor of it. He thinks, however, that as
taxes are going to be high the people can
afford to wait a year or two longer for q
