OAHU RAILROAD WILL PAY
BRILLIANT PROSPECTS FOR THE
LITTLE LINE.
Manager Dillingham; Sketches Out q
Prosperous Future From the Lands
to Be Opened--Facts and Figures.

The stockholders in the Oahu Rail
way Company were agreeably surpris-
ed at the annual meeting last Thurs
day to learn from General Manager
Dillingham; that the railroad has be-
come a paying institution and bids
fair, in the near future, to become
one of the best dividend paying in
vestments on the island. The progress
and development of the little road
have been along lines that are worthy
of special note. Through the building
and operation of the line, industries,
involving upwards of $4,000,000 capital
have been established, and the way
has been opened for the development
of some of the best land on the island.
a comparison of the earnings of the
road during the past few years shows
that the net earnings have increased
from $22. .313 in 1898, to $41,277 in 1896,
while the net earnings for the first
four months of this year were $685.
104.3S, and there promises to be sur
pbls of 100000 after paying off $780,
600 interest on bonds.
In his report, which is very full,
General Manager Dillingham; points
out with especial pride that the great
Eva plantation, now one of the best
paying in the islands, could not have
been started had not the railroad been
built. The new Oahu plantation is
also a development of the railroad
scheme. Other institutions of like
character have been built up along the
line of road.
Mr.. Dillingham; says further that the
extension of the road will result in the
utilization of various tracts of land,
varying in size from 100 to 1900 acres,
scattered along the line. They are so
scattered and isolated that it would
not pay to open them up as an individ-
ual investments but the nearness of
the railroad will now make it possible
to utilize every acre of this land.
The officers of the railroad now are:
S. c. Allen, president; w. F. Allen,
first vice president: ]. B. Atherton,
second vice president; w. G. Ashley,
secretary: NJ. P. Robinson, treasurer:
B. F. Dillingham;, general manager.

street school, has been granted a two

lengthy discussion on the matter of
classifying the teachers. 1t was de-
cided that the classification shall be
based upon the length of service,
qualifications and kind of school
taught. The Teachers Committee
will make a complete report on this
matter at this weeks meeting of the
Board.

No subject in connection with dairy
ing is receiving more ttention. or is ap-
parently more needful of same, than that
of the harmful bacteria and disease

tally true of the tuberculin or consump-

Importance of which is rapidly becom-
ing more generally apparent.
1t is found that the centrifugal separ-
ator, and particularly the "Alpha" milk
dividing disc system now used in the
DE LAVAL machine, gathers and holds
in the bowl of the separator practically
all the filth, fibrous and feculent matters
contained in the milk, including the
bacteria germs, and it is certain that
this feature in the alpha" dies is of
the most Importance.

tors, possesses all the advantages of the
larger styles of the "Alpha" machines,
and is designed for popular household
and small dairy use, from the family
buying its milk and wishing to turn
part of it into cream or butter as want
ed, to the private family or farmer hav-
ing less than 6 to cows. It's capacity
is 175 pounds.
A larger size is the IMPROVED
"BABY" No. 2, intended for diaries of
from to 10 or 20 cows; and often used
in larger ones. It's capacity is $50
pounds.
Amonget the many advantages to be
derived from the use of the De Laval
Separator are: Betterment of quality,
saving from 90 to SO per cent, of cream

DID NOT SEE HIM

In the issue of The Star of May 20,
the case of Frank Lorenzo, a Portu-
guese who had his leg injured, was
mentioned. 1t was stated that he came
from Paauilo Hawaii. This would
lead people to believe that he was ne
elected by DR.. Stowe, the resident
physician there. In justice to DR..
Stowe it should be said that he never
saw the man, and had nothing to do
with the case, nor did the accident
occur in his district.

III. VS. Watermelon Joe, who finished
Sc, md. \ dispute arose over the
gu, stion of whether Gladys was not
dis qualified for the race. Cunningham
EXPLAINED that the shot which he had
in he bottom of his trousers to
weight himself, had fallen out. The
judges decided that Gladys was quail
fed to try for the races.
There were five false starts in the
second heat. Ralph came in first in
2:25. the best time made in the race.
The third and fourth heats were won
easily by Gladys in the time given
above, thus giving the race to the
gray mare.
By far the most exciting race of the
day was the three-quarter-mile dash
for the Oceanic Steamship Company's
Cup and a purse of $50. There were
four starters. Col. Spalding's Ame-
thyst was the favorite; her three com
petitors comprising the field against
her in the betting. At the start Billy
C took the lead and held it for about
one-Quarter of mile, when Amethyst
spurted ahead. Billy c fell far be-
hind, Confederate and Antidote pass
ing him with lightning rapidity. Com
ing down the home stretch Amethyst
still held the lead. Her rider turned
Der head to the right and kept an eye
on Confederate. He did not see Anti
dots crawling up on the pole side, and
when but few yards from the finish
the gray horse shot ahead and won
the race in beautiful style.
Owing to an alleged irregularity on
the part of the jockey failing TO
weigh out, the judges awarded the
race to Amethyst. The jockey claims
to have tainted at the finish and that
the horse way taken away without his
consent, to the paddock. Capt. Cluney,
one of the judges, called to the jockey
to weigh out, but the boy answered
NO, the horse is in the paddock" The
JubSeS say lHt'N were ODllSeu 10 lOl-
low an iron-clad rule, and this lost
the race for Antidote.
Mr.. Rodiek, Antidote's owner, has
entered a protest before Jockey Club.
He claims that his jockey weighs more
than enough to fulfill the require
ments of the rules of the Club, with
out counting the saddle and blanket.
Only Lord Brock and Sympathetic's
Last started in the mile and a quarter
dash for President Widemann's Cup
and $50 added. Lord Brock held the
lead for nearly mile, when his com,
petitor shot ahead and won the race
in good distance. The time was 2: II
| Had Lord Brock come in first he would
most probably not have won, as he
lost his saddle blanket and a portion
of his weight in the first quarter of :
mile.

Nelson Bankruptcy bill was passed py
the decisive vote Of 40 to S.
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, offered the res
olution providing that the chief executive
express the sympathy of the American
people to the government of Greece. The
resolution was referred.
The debate on Senate Committees
aroused Mr. Morgan to a spueech of IN

business to politics. He characterized the
condition of nacti0n III the House of

unheard of fhbuster" ever attempted.
In conclusion. Mr.. Morgan said ti.2t the

as the great white car" should be mere

To GROW TREES IN TIE DESERT.


The Agricultural Department has I'M
dertaken a work that is of the greatest
importance to the future of the hound
less West" Secretary Wilson, by the
way. is exhibiting the same Jealous in
terest in preserving the forests that was
exhibited by his predecessor, and is do
ing valuable work in encouraging tree
planting. The work to which we have
special reference. is the investigation
into the possibilities of tree growth in
what are known as the arid regions Of
the country. An agent of the depart
ment has been instructed to forward
to this country seed for planting trees
that are successfully grown in the arid
portions Of Australia and Russia. Mr..
Wilson's idea is to utilize millions OF
acres Of land lying idle in the United
States for growing wood, and to intro
duce upon this land trees that will
thrive under exactly similar conditions
in foreign countries.
Certainly an experiment like this is
we'll worth tying. The effect of the
forestation of millions of idle acres in
the West could not but prove Beneficial
to a remarkable degree.
The country knows by sad experience
al what cost the policy of ruthlessly
sacrificing our forest reserves has been
carried on. To check this work of de-
struction, and at the same time put TO
avail for wood growing countless acres
of land now wholly unavailable would
be a noble achievement indeed.

The confidence in the devotion of
her whilom subjects shown by Mrs.
Dominis. Of Hawaii. where once she
reigued supreme. is certainly touching.
So firm is this conviction of Mrs.
Dominis as 10 the affection in which
she is reld in Hawaii that she is now
willing TO put the issue to a crucial
test. OF her own volition she proposes
TO abandon her claim to the royal
throne of the one-time kingdom and to
COMPROMISE by running for President OF
the now republic Of Hawaii instead. No
more remarkable development has ever
come in the history of dethroned mon

Queen Liliuokalani. is at least TO be
commended for her pluck in thus offer
ing to so before the people for vindi-
cation.
Unfortunately for Queen Lii. how
ever. her offer as submitted to President
Mckinley would, if accepted, necessi-
tate a certain arbitrary action on the
part of the country for which the pres
ent administration is probably not yet
prepared. In order that her former sub
jects might have opportunity to vote
for her as their President it would first
be necessary that the present Dole reg
ime should be overthrown and new
election ordered in Hawaii. 1t is TO
accomplish this overthrow that Lille
entreats the influence OF the President

the Dole government was illegally
placed in power. and that the fairest
wy Of getting at the rights in the case
would be by means Of a general election
In which she should head one Presi-
Dental ticket and run in opposition TO
the candidate Of the Dole party.
