The Makaha Coffee Company, the pi-
oneer coffee growing corporation or the
Island of Oahu. held meeting yester-
day, made some changes in its officers
and completed the work OF organizing
a corporate body to carry on the de-
velopment of their plantation property
in the Waianae district
The new list of officers is as follows:
President, W. H. Hoogs; Vice Presl-
dent. F. B. McStocker; Treasurer ]. A
Low; Secretary, J. S. Walker; Auditor,
w. G. Ashley. Frank Hustace was
elected to serve on the Board of Direct
ors with the above named. This COM
paratiyely new corporation, with cap
ital stock of $4,000, is interested IN the
development of some 200 acres OF choice
coffee lands in the Makaha valley OF the
Waianae range.
The land which they have secured is
| said to be equal to any Of the coffee
lands in the country. 1t is located on
the slopes of the mountains, at an altl-
tude of from /, 400 to $500 feet. The
precipitous cliffs of the mountains give
a natural and perfect protection from
strong winds, and the rainfall OF the
section is just what is wanted for gooo
coffee cultivation. A portion OF the
land at present is covered with a
! heavy growth of kukui trees, that VIII
gradually be cleared away as the boun-
diaries of the plantation expand.
Although the company has been re-

large nursery, where they will be al
lowed to remain for from eighteel
months to two years, and then trans
planted as the land is cleared. BY thi
method the trees are matured at les
expense, and bear crop the first yea

years of development.

ROBIN HOOD.
Active Preparations for the Pro.
duction of the Beautiful Opera.

1t has been fully decided, by the per-
sons interested in amateur theatricals,
to produce the pretty little opera
Robin Hood at the new theatre the
week after II Troyatore is put on by
Mrs, Turner.
Robin Hood will be staged under the
direction of Mrs. w. w. Dimond, whose
reputation as an artistic is well known
to Honolulu theatre goers. In the pro-
duction she will be ably assisted by
Kate McGrew, Faxon Bishop, J. O.
Wood. and possibly W. H. Hoogs
There will be no professionals. The
chorus singers will be the same as in
II Trovatore, and they have been ex-
cellently drilled by Mrs. Turner for
the first opera.
The delay in the assignment Of parts
for Robin Hood is caused by the non
arrival of the libretto, but it has not
been such as to cause any postpone
ment in the production. Costumes fol
the opera have already been ordered
from Goldstern, the. celebrated costu
mer of San Francisco. The orchestra
will be under the leadership Of oscal
HerOld.

The disappointment Of the members

members of the Executive at the func-

attention in official circles yesterday.
Minister Cooper, in referring to the
matter, stated that it was impossible
to construe the absence of the members
of the Executive as an official slight.
The ball was wholly unofficial, and the
members of the Executive stood in the
same position as private citizens. In
making their plans for attic nding OF
staying at home they were governed by
the same rules as private individuals
and their action should be viewed by
the committee in the same light.

Mrs. Mary Eliza beth Lease is going up
higher She has not exactly tired of po-

field for her abilities. She had talked in
this city and leaving here became sick
during her campaign OF education.
Then she promised the Lord that if He
would restore her to health she would
hencefcrth devote her life to His service.
She got we'll and at once became the
Reverend Mrs. Lease. Tomorrow she
will preach in the Central church Of
Christ in Wichita and will probably be-
come it's pastor
She has mission. She finds large
number Of wolves in the church. To
these she is going TO give her attention.
She may, oil course, devote some of her
spare time to politics-she wouldn't be
Mrs. Lease and not do so-but the main
work of her life will be the saving OF
sinners. To use her own expression she
will Skin the wolves in her own church
and she intimates that there are many
of them requiring attention.

WHAT the WORLD Is DOING
Edison Springs Some New Ideas Upon
An UnthinI<ing People.


An Unthinking People.
A dispatch says:
A special meeting of the Park Board is
called by Secretary Cove, to be held to
consider the matter of the purchase OF the
Exposition property. If the board is to
purchase the property it is necessary that
some action be taken at once. The date
fixed for the sale of the property by the
court was yesterday, but that being a le-
gal holiday, the sale was postponed for
one week. .-.
The details have all been determined
upon, and I. G. Seeley, with other proni-
nent citizens started a guarantee fund, to
guarantee those who should make the
purchase in the name of the city. The
purchase price of the property is put at
sS5. 900, and it was originally intended
that the guarantee fund should be $4,000,
The fund NOW foots up to $61 900. It Is
not expected that it will be necessary to
draw upon this fund, but is a matter OF
protection of the board Among those rep
resented in this guarantee fund are w. NJ.
Regain, Thomas Lowry, Cal Goodrich, Lu-
cen Swift, Jr., I. c. Seeley and many 9th
ers.
AT the meeting Friday the board will
consider the matter Of issuing bonds,
which are to be sold to raise the money.
The board will pay $4,000 in cash, and
the remainder will be provided for some
way. In the evening the acton OF the
board will be brought before the city
council and it is thought that they will
take prompt action in the matter. In
this manner the city will acquire very
valuable piece OF property.
