If the Kapok Tree Will Grow
Here.
VEGETABLE PRODUCING WOOL.
A Tourist Expatiates on the Possible
ties of a New Industry-Easy to
Cultivate and Expense Light.
VIII Be Tried on Maui.

The capitalists of the islands
have tied themselves to sugar."
said a bright young tourist yester-
day at the Hawaiian Hotel, and
diversified industries have been
neglected. This is my third or
fourth visit to this country, and
each time I am more strongly inn
pressed with the idea that the soil
is capable of developing other
products.
"They are being tried now by Mr..
Marsden, Commissioner of Agri-
culture. Seeds from all over the
world are being obtained by him
and are planted in the Government
nursery" said an ADVERTISER man.
So I understand, but, then,
there are some things which grew
here in former years which may be
counted now among-what shall [
say?-lost arts. Sandal wood, for
instance, used to grow here and
was source of profit to Hawaiians
in the early days. I understand
there are still left a few trees on
the mountains. It occurs to me
that the sandal wood tree should be
propagated and returned to the fold
of island products. And there are
other things which might be grown
on the thousands of acres of land
which are now lying idle on the
islands. Whatever is grown at a
profit in the East Indies, or in
Central America, should be pro-
duced here and your export list en-
larged in consequence. l under
stand an attempt has been made at
growing sisal. It will grow in any
warm climate and will grow here
and should be a source of revenue.
I had a conversation with Mr..
Tubbs, the great cordage manu-
facturer on the Pacific Coast, before
L left there, and he spoke of the
possibilities of the plant here and
the demand there is for it.
Then there's kapok do you
know kapok at all ? No! Per
haps you know it by the Latin
name, Eurodendron Aufroctuosum.
All | thought not. There are few
Latin scholars, or horticulturists
in fact, whose head lawns are as
closely mown as yours. Pardon
me. Kapok, if it can be grown
here-and [ have no doubt it can
will mean thousands of dollars
annually to the value of your pro-
ducts, and will be the foundation
of new industry. In some res
poets it resembles cotton. 1t grows
on trees, and the fibre is contained
in boil identically the same as
cotton"
Then we may expect, in years
to come, to see the plains of Maui
dotted with kapok gins as Alameda
county is decorated with it's mush-
room growth of windmills," ven
tured the reporter.
Nothing of the sort and let
me tell you that kapok requires no
gin. The seeds are at the bottom
of the boil and lightly attached to
the fibre, so that slight beating
in an inexpensive machine releases
them. Excuse me moment and
| will show you some Of the fibre
and seeds.
There, you see the fibre has
more silky appearance than cotton.
This is in the raw state, and thous-
ands of pounds are imported an

only after long and constant use,
and, when it does, it may be picked
over and made as springy as when
first put up"
care the climatic conditions of
the islands suitable for the culti-
vation of this plant or tree ?"
From what / know of the ISL
and of Maui l believe there would
be no difficulty experienced. The
seeds, you will notice, are about
the size of a cherry stone but free
from the hard shell; it has moth
ing more than husk."
But there is no oil in it as in
the cotton seed and that, you
know, is an important item of
manufacture throughout the United
States. If we could make as fine
quality pure olive oil out of kapok
seeds as they do in the States out
of cotton seed it would be a good
thing"
There you go again your ignor-
ance of such things is noteworthy"
said the tourist while striking the
sixth safety match on a worn out
box. "Just watch this seed burn"
A bright flame sprung up from the
seed and continued to burn clearly
indicating the presence of oil.
you can see now that what may
be done with raw cotton and the
seed of the plant may be repeated
in the kapok. Glance at this fibre.
[ believe it may some day be
woven in the same manner as cot
ton. If it can, you may live long
enough to wear shirts made Of the
product of the tree which will grow
! from these seeds. Take them and
plant them, you're skeptical and
when | meet man like you, par
| ticularly a man engaged in news
paper work, who is not posted in
what his country will produce l
am always willing to give him the
means of obtaining practical
knowledge"
Admitting that kapok may be
grown here, what is the value of
the product in raw state?"
" Do you mean as this piece that
I have shown you appears? Well,
the importers in the United States
pay 10 cents pound for all they
can get just as it comes out of the
boil. If people on the plantations
here should go into it they would
probably introduce the machines
for separating the seeds from the
fibre, then it would bring more
money. The seeds, too, will no
doubt be utilized in various ways.
"I believe there are a great
many things to be produced here
that would benefit the country. Of
course, it requires time to look
them up and when found to ex-
pertinent with them. You have
excellent facilities for doing this,
and the cost, you know, is a trifie.
The coffee industry is growing
rapidly, as the report of exports for
1895 published in your paper
shows, and, by the way, a friend on
Maui sent me a few pounds last
year, picked from wild trees, that
was of delicious flavor and bou-
quet. I've great hopes of the cof-
fee industry here and believe it
will ultimately rank high in the
list of exports"

Death OF George h. Bird.

George III. Bird. an old-tlme resi-.
dent OF Elko county. died at the De-
pot Hotel at about half past eight o.
clock this morning. The deceased
had been ailing for long time aud
his death was not unexpected. Mr..
Bird came to Elko from Tuscarora
last November and went to the Hot
Springs and stayed for some time.
While at the Springs he seemed to
improve and his friends were in hopes
that he would fully recover. He re-
turned to town shortly after the first
of the year and, though feeble, he was
able to be around until little over
a week ago when he was compelled to
take to his bed.
The deceased was born in the State
of Tennessee in 1888 and came to Ne
vada in 1872. He first settled in the
Buel mining district and went from
there to Cornucopia. On the failure
of those mines, he moved to Tuscaro
ia where he has lived and followed
mining for the last fifteen years.
On the breaking out Of the civil
war, he joined the Union army and
served in the ranks until peace was
restored.
MIR. Bird was prominent in the coun-
ellis of the Republican party il this
county and in 1887 he was appointed
County commissioner by Governor
Stevenson to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Mart Smith.
The deceased leaves five sisters and
three brothers residing in Greene
county, Tennessee, to mourn his loss.
The relatives have been notified of his
death.
He was member of the Masons,
and Knights Of Pythias Lodges of
Tuscarora. The funeral will take
place from the Presbyterian Church
at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
under the auspices of Elko Lodge
No. 10, +. & 4. NJ.

rs peaceful as an infants sIumber.

The Zig Fight.

Ell PAso, February 1.-The place
OF the light is still secret and no one
will know until the spot is reached.
Several additional Texas Rangers
reached here this morning, making
thirty-two now under command Of
Adjutant General Mabry. 1t is re-
ported that the Mexican Rurales are
gathering across 5he river at Juraez.
A number of eXcursionists from New
York and other eastern points arrived
this morning and large number are
reported on the road. The Minister
Of FL Paso decided this morning to
open up Board of Foreign Missions
against prize-fghts. They went in a
body across the river to Juarez to see
Governor Ahumada to get him to take
active steps against possible design
of Dan Stuart to pull off the fight in
Mexico. Stuart, however, remains
confident and declares that the fights
will come off. There is no doubt but
that he will keep his word SO far as
the big fight is concerned and the
chances are very strong that he will
keep it as regards most, if not all, of
the lesser fights.

A Voice from Georgia.

Silver is an issue, a great issue. 1t
will be the leading issue in the cam
paign Of 1896. There is well de-
fined sentiment among us that free
coinage of both gold and silver at a
parity of 16 to I would immensely
help business. Down South the
crops will be large, more especially
corn. But prices are not encourage
ing. There is no money in farming
to-day nothing but mere subsist-
ence.
We have raised enough corn and
cotton and other crops to pay off the
national debt and make the South
wealthy, but we don't control the
price OF what we have 10 sell. That
is controlled up here. A small num-
Der Of men tell us what we shall get
for our crops. and we are not in a
position to oppose them success
fully.
1t is believed that with the free
coinage OF silver the farmer and the
workingman would get better re-
turn for the products of the soil and
the factory.-EX Sena tor Walsh IN
