entiic Investigations have exploded
this theory the biennial cropping will
soon become a custom of the past. The
second years growth adds little if any
70 the commercial value of the plant,
and certainly does not pay for the ex-
ira years cultivation and care. The
fact that the canaigre draws heavily
upon the nitrogen of the soil shows
that especial care should be taken in
the selection of fertilizers, and also
of the rotation crops. The rotation
crop should either be a nitrogen gath
erer used in turn as fertilizer by
blowing in after maturity, or else it
should be a crop drawing the least pos
sible amount of nitrogen from the soil.

OAHU COFFEE GROWING.

Every member of the party which
went to the Waianae coffee plantation
under the direction of b. f. Dilllng-
ham on Saturday returned filled with
enthusiasm upon the possibilities of
Oahu coffee growing districts. And they
have good reason to be enthused. While
for excellence of climate, beauty OF
scenery and productive soil we cannot
saw the Waianae coffee valleys are un-
eoualled in the country, it surely can be
truthfuIIy said that they have no SUI
Derior in these particular features. Inc
coffee Dlanter of Waianae has his nat
ural wind break, and soil and climate
particularly adapted to the require
ments. The distinct advantage he mas
over his brother planters on the other
Islands is his proximity to the prln-
cipal shipping port, which means not
only that he can ship his product with
less trouble, but also that he can OBJ
tain his supplies promptly and at less
expense. He is close to the commercial
highway of the Island and of the Pa
cific as well. His freight bills are
smaller. and he need never worry about
his labor. since there is plenty and TO
snare within a few hours ride OF his
plantation He can produce just as
good coffee and just as much to the
acre as can be raised in any district IN
the country, and finally, he does not
have to bury himself in the forest wilds
far remote from friends and social re-
Iatfons TO carry on his work. After Wis
iting the Oahu coffee districts one is
impressed with the fact that a good
proportion of the coffee enthusiasts OF
Honolulu. capitalists large and small,
have been too much given to gazing
into the clouds and not carefully in
vestigating the opportunities offered in
the land under their feet. 1t will pay
them to study their immediate sur
roundings more closely. There is no
earthly reason why a man should go
skylarking about other districts when
Oahu lands offer as good returns as
any other Of course the lands here
are of more limited area, but the limit
of cultivation has by no means been
reached. Taking the possibilities OF
coffee, canaigre and sugar into consid-
Grafton, the agricultural products OF the
Island of Oahu alone might be increas-
ed almost if not quite one hundred per
cent.

POINTS On CANAIGRE PRO
DUCTION.

In a recent bulletin OF the Arizona
Experiment Station are given the fol-
lowing points on canaigre culture.
which will be of value to the pioneer
producers of this country:
Canafgre is best adapted to the mild,
dry, sunny winter climate. Although
it will endure frost and will grow in
rainy regions, it does not promise good
results in these uncongenial situations.
Canaigre roots and leaves are dam
aged to some extent by insects, but the
plant is not known to be seriously
threatened.
Canaigre tanning materials are found
throughout the plant, being in great
est quantity in the central portion OF
the roots.
The tanning materials form rapidly
the first year of growth, showing but
a small percentage of increase after the
first year, or as long as the root re-
tains it's vitality.
During the dormant summer period
of the plant the tanning materials seem
slightly to increase in young roots.
| Sprouting does not affect the volume
! of tannin, nor does the evidence thus
! far show that irrigation lessons the
percentage.
! Heat, air and fermentation, acting on
! either roots or extracts, all destroy
canaigre tannin materials.
The red and yellow coloring matters
of canaigre affect the quality OF the
leather produced. The red matters are
less desirable and are found generally
in the wild crop. They are not present
| in quantity in the cultivated roots
| This fact is considered an improve
| ment in the quality of the root fol
tanning purposes.
The sugar contained in canaigre gives
roots and extracts their pumping
qualities. If properly managed it is {
valuable factor in producing heavy
feathers.
Canaigre bagasse, properly prepared
should be about equal to mesquite wooC
in fuel value. When well rotted it also
ought to have considerable value as {
fertilizer 1t promises little as a stock
| food.
Canaigre draws heavily upon the
soil, especially for nitrogen. It's tOta
drain is about twice as costly as that
of sugar beets.
The utility of canaigre is demonstrate
ed. Properly handled, it produces an
unusual variety of feathers of excellent
quality.
The agriculture of canaigre is yet il
| its experimental stage. A fair estimate
| shows that it will be necessary to pro-
| duce an annual crop of about seven
tons an acre in order to equal the profits
of sugar beet culture. On present evil
! dence this yield seems highly probable,
| but, so far as is known, has not yet
| been demonstrated.
The feature OF. the foregoing most
| important to the planters here is the
reference to the formation of tannin
material in the plant. A general idea
has prevailed that the plant gathered
the majority of it's tannin during the
second year of it's growth. Since sci

her intention of taking the stump for

speeches on womans suffrage she ex-
pressed sympathy for her poor sisters

may think, there are mighty few men
who would seek to enthran women in
matrimony if they were all like Mary.

DIR. BISHOP AND MONEY POWER.

In DR.. Bishops recent letter to this
paper he said the silver movement
lis a mighty and determined protest
against the gigantic and gross iniquity
by which monopoly of money power
was given to gold, destroying one-half
the primary money of the world in or
der to endow the holders of bonded
securities with twice the real amount
of what was owing to them" The nat
ural inference drawn from this is that
the money power of the world choked
financial greed, which is practically adj
hitting the power of capitalists to be
second to none in monetary affairs. In
other words the finances of the great
nations OF the world are under the con-
troll of men who regard money as a
commodity that can be ''cornered."
Now, admitting this to be true, what
advantage is gained by remonetizing
silver on a 16 to 1 basis in the United
States? If the money power has such
a terrible grip on the money of the
world, the mere declaration by a gov
eminent that this is money will
amount to nothing. If the money
power has controlled gold it can also
control silver, and the poor, weak,
common, everyday individual must be
the one who will suffer thereby, wheth-

that is where the trouble arose. 1t has

they have been in the habit OF dispprting
themselves whenever they felt like taking

But Monday the officer on that heat
informed them that In the future all persons
swimming in the Potomac would be ar
rested aud fined. There was consterna-
ton at both clubbouses aud a committee
was soon on its way to police headquarters.
At this place nothing was known of the
order and inquiries We're set on foot.
1t was then learned that the order had
been issued by Lieut.. Swiudell Of the

Complaint had been made to him about
