Stole Twenty Dollars.

In. the month of October of last year
a Japanese by the name of Ushida dis
appeared from the city and did not put
in an appearance again until last Sat
urday. At the time mentioned Ushida
was in the employ of John Edwards
who lives in Niglopa, Nuuanu Valley.
Mr.. Edwards and his wife went away
for a short time, and upon their return
found their house ransacked and a $40
gold piece gone The Japanese was
likewise gone, and police headquarters
were notified.
On Saturday last a Japanese wo-
man called at the police station and
said that Ushida was in town, having
arrived on the same day from Heeia
She was DESTROYS of having the man
arrested, as he had stolen money from
her 1t seems that on the very day of
his disappearance from the Edwards
home. he had taken a $40 gold piece to
her in part payment of his debts. Lat
er on he went to the woman's place
and stole the money back again. From
there he went straight to Heeia.
Upon being questioned Ushida said
that he would say nothing until his
appearance in the police court.

production and harden the stalk. so
that, If it lives, it will not thrive the
following season. Here the plant will
live uninterrupted and flourish for
years. The crop will also be perennial
Harvesting may continue through the
entire year, as against three months.
at best, in the South With an equal
continuous production, what must be
the comparative yield here with a new
er-ending harvest? Certainly not less
than four times as great. The produc-
er of sea island cotton in the South
considers his business profitable and
his investment a good one. Many men
have made and still are making their
fortunes out of it. They do it, too, on
d bale to the acre. The smallest cal
culation that can be made from all eX-
periments bases the yield for Hawaii
upon at least four bales to the acre in
average soil without artificial fertili-
cation.
OF course, the texture of cotton will
deteriorate if the plant is not renewed
in a certain time. The fault with the
Tracy specimen, referred to above, is
that the plant from which it was pick
ed has passed its age of usefulness,
and was renewed, originally, from old
seed. The fiber is long and strong, and
would make the best thread in the
world; but the fineness, which estab-
fishes it's commercial value, has been
sacrificed to the ravages of time upon
the tree. Just how long the tree will
continue to produce a perfect staple is
a matter yet to be proved by expert
ment. But, from general circumstances, |
it is safe to suppose that the cotton |
would not become seriously affected in |
less than two years. An experiment |
of pruning, as practiced with coffee, |
is being made, and, it is believed, will |
establish another proposition: That the |
fiber can be preserved on the mother
tree for an indefinite period. This
would insure that Hawaii has in cot
ton an industry more profitable and |
than any yet developed.
