stock in several others He is opposing

Owned by Americans.
The sugar plantations are owned al
most altogether by Americans They
are capitalized at about $4,000. 600.
Some of them have paid quite large divi-
dends. the average for the past year hav-
ing been about II per cent. am told that
some plantations have made double this
The fluctuations. however, in the prices of
sugar have been SO great that the business
Is quite precarious. 1t Is managed on strict
business principles, every means which I'M
limited money can furnish being used to
reduce the cost. Take, for instance, the
Eva plantation. which made $4,000 tons OF
sugar last year, and Is now paying big
dividends. This plantation has a capital
OF million dollars and about 100 stock
holders. 1t made no money for years
and was spending vast amounts right
along. The plantation is eighteen miles
from Honolulu, and It comprises 5000 acres
Every foot Of Its cane has to be watered
throughout the year by artesan wells. It
uses enormous pumping machinery, which
Is imported from America. Its first pumps
came from New York. and 1t has Just now
put in others at cost OF about $4,000. In
another plantation near the Eva they are
putting IN machinery built In New York
and am told that this plantation alone
will spend something like $1,000 on its ex-
tensions this year.
I learn that there Is little undeveloped
sugar land left In the Islands. Such new
plantations as are made win have to be ir-
rigated by means Of artesian wells, and the
cost Us so great that It will ysQuirs .. very

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more Organs and Pianos than
ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home q
penniless p,ow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up SO aa
to sell so far, nearly 100000 OF Beatty's
Organs and Pianos since 1870. Nothing
seems to dishearten him; obstacles laid
in his wav, that would have wrecked an
ordinary man forever. he turns to an
advertisement and comes out of it bright-
er than ever. His instruments. as is
we'll known, are very popular and are TO
be found in Ill parts ofthe world. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 100000 more OF his
make; thatmeans business of S2O,0CO,

-carrying a well-oiled Winchester and
belt full Of cartridges, besides a chest
full of other late improved ammunition,

G. M. Foss, the bonanza gardener Of
Williams county, whose ranch is located
about 10 miles north Of Wilision, on the
Muddy, brought in a few more straw
berries Saturday. He left two boxes
with the Graphic editor, and we must
say they excelled the average eastern
berry in several respects. a number of
the berries measured from to 4& inches
in circumference, and were Of rich,
sweet, juicy quality. He has already
marketed about POO quarts, and expects
to market as many more. The area OF
his berry patch at present is only one
thirteenth of an acre, but he intends in.
creasing it in the future.
