DEAR SIR have carefully read over your prospectus
of the proposed Oahu Sugar Co. and say that am
quite familiar with the lands you propose to cultivate,
while do not the least deprecate the lands held by
the Eva Plantation Co. believe your lands fully
capable of growing much sugar per f not more
than ours The soil is of dark red color very deep
and mellow, splendid for steam plowing and slopes
nicely for irrigation One great advantage you will
have other places is that scarcely any clearing is
to be done on the lands 1t is common thing many
plantations to expend $50 and even 500 per for
clearing some of their lands this expense you
almost entirely exempt from Your estimate for plant
cane think is very conservative.
When gave you the figures note in your prospectus,
did not suppose they for publication, but they
all the same true and if you can manage to plant
the acreage you propose there doubt in my mind
about your estimated yield coming out all right. By
having plenty of water to give the during the grow
ing months of July, August September, and October,
the growth is wonderful and experience during the
past four years shows conclusively that there is
diminution in the water supply. the gauge the
wells indicate the same figures whether it be July or
January, providing the engine the number of
revolutions During planting season, if more water is
required, all have to do is to burn little coal
and speed up our engine few revolutions per minute
and the water is forthcoming

LETTER FROM J. MARSDEN.
HoNoLULU, November 2Sth, 1894.
Mr.. B. T. DILLINGHAM.
General Manager O. r. d L. Co.
Honolulu.

DEAR SIR:-ln reply to your verbal communication
requesting me to give you my opinion regarding the
o proposed ed plantation at
would say that have carefully gone over and
ned said lands and also the water supply with which
it is proposed to imigate the said lands.
In the first place. the typographical character of the
land is extremely favorable for carrying on, in the
most economical manner, all the operations incidental
to the working OF a large sugar estate.
The land lies gentle slope rising from the banks
of Pearl Loeb and extending several miles towards
Waialua until the $50 feet level is reached. The lay
of the land in the other direction from the base of the
Waianae mountains to the foot of the hills above Wal
plo is practically level aording unbreken stretches
OF land many hundreds of in extent In several
places fields of at least 1000 in extent can be
found unbroken by ravne or gulley.
The greater portion of the land is perfectly clear
from any growth except grass and plowing could be
commenced at any time. Other portions Of the land
covered with light growth of mimosa which could
be cleared off at trifng expense
Thus the operation of clearing land which generally
forms large item IN the expense OF starting a
plantation would in this case be very small affair
The land is admirably adapted for the economical
working of steam pows for there are no rocks or stones
to interfere with the work
The typographical features of the land are most
favorable for carrying on the important work Of rriga
ton, lying as 1T does gentle slope In direction
and level in the other The work of making the fur
rows that the water will be evenly distributed will
be comparatively but a simple operation. In some
plantations where the land is rolling the cane fur
rows have to turn and twist in every direction
IN order to preserve the proper fall for the water On
the lands at Eva the burrows be laid out per-
fectly straight and equidistant.
The character of the soil is dark red loam which
when very wet is somewhat sticky but when dry
bles into very fine powder being it very retentive
of moisture and will require less water than most soils
on these Islands The analysis of the soils of these
lands shows them to be extremely rich in all the ele
men requisite for producing the highest development
of the sugar cane.
This has received substantial proof in the results
obtained on the Eva plantation whose lands part
and parcel of the same tract The yield at Eva has
exceeded eight tons of sugar from all plant har-
vested this year. and the highest yields 81 and 1906
per obtained from the upper red lands which

proposed to start the new enterprise

About Money.

The earliest record Of 4 real estate deal is in
the Old Testament, whert it is said that Abra
ham bought the field of Ephron for four hum
bred shekels of silver. Coined money was not
in use, for we read that Abraham weighed unto
Ephron the price. Silver and gold in those
days were in the form OF ingots OF bricks and
the amount needed was cut off and weighed.
Since that day man has made considerable
advance, and now has gold and silver coins of
various names, as; Dimes, quarters. dollars,
eagles, double eagles, marks, kreutzers, forms,
ducats, Argentines, francs, Boliviaros, milreis.

Brother Houser of the Mondoyi
Herald excuses the bill to exempt
from liability ex-State Treasures
BaetZ and Kuhn for the reason that
the Republican state platform did
not commit the party TO their prose-
cution as they were not at the time of
the convention, according to the Her
aid, pending. The Herald is mistaken.
The two cases were then pending in
the circuit court of Dane county. But
whether pending or not the Republi-
can platform distinctly pledged the
party to an impartial and vigorous
prosecution of all the treasury cases.
The platform renewed the pledges
made by the party to the people on
this subject in 1892, and the platform
of that year contained this vigorous
language on the subject:
at 0he Republican party of wisconsin, de-
nOunces as without foundation and intended
Only to mislead he voters of Wisconsin the
statement so often made by the Democratic
press that Republican success in this state in
wolves surrender or compromise of whatever
rights tie courts may hold to exist in favor of
the state upon the bonds of ex-state treasurers,
aud pledges itself if it shall be entrusted with
executive and legislative power In the state Ia
enforce fully the rights of the people in the
premises"
Words could not have outlined a
Pal " IOliUy nIUTO ooIvugIy UiIan did
the platform of last year in accepting
the language quoted, and the JOURNAL
cannot avoid the conclusion that had
it been understood that the Repubii-
can Legislature and Governor would SC
far forget the pledges they made to
the people during the campaign as TO
deliberately enact law TO release the
ex-State Treasures, Peck might pos
n A & Il
gardless of the strong current toward
Republicanism on national questions.
What excuse will the party give for
this perfidy? Will the people not
meet any declaration we may make
with the answer that we have broken
our pledges once and can not be
trusted again? What eXcusescan be
given for not releasing the judgments
against Guenther, McFetridge and
Harshaw? 1t is reported that Govern
or Upham stated that he must sign
these bills for the reason that Char
ley Pfister wanted them" The Gov
ernor will be required to give better
reason than Pfister's wish when he
/ seeks an endorsement of his official
acts fIom the people of the state in
1896. To our mind this case contains
a breach of trust as serious as the re.
nowned "Roster casen which brought
the late Democratic administration
to q disgraceful end.
The unanimity with which the Re
publican country press criticises this
| this legislation reflects wholesome
party discipline that official heads bet
| ter heed Bossism has led both par
ties to defeat in this state repeatedly
and may do so again, it matters not
whether the boss be Sawyer, Wall OF
