BEET SUGAR.
Possibilities of the Sugar Business in
the United States.

New York Mail and Expressly
The extensive scheme of Claus
Spreckels for the introduction of beet
root culture in California will, if sue.
cessful, cause a sweeping revolution
in the sugar industry in this country
The success of the beet-root sugar
making in Germany, of which Mr.
Spreckels has just completed an ex-
haustive study, has convinced him that
it can be profitably undertaken in the
West. and if his conclusions are sup
ported by actual results in the exper-
iments he proposes, the whole bust
ness in this important industry will
be radically changed. To be able to
produce at home all the sugar con-
sumed in this country would relieve
the people of the burden of one of the
largest items in our imports. The
success of the undertaking would be
another step toward the complete in
dustrial independence of the United
States.

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot Of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
