The wealth of Hawaii is placed at a
conservative estimate at 500, 900, 900 at
the present time. Should it become an
American colony or state this wealth
will increase very much during the
next few years. Should Congress re-
fuse to ratify the treaty of annexation
of the islands this vast wealth will
certainly go to England. The British
government never is squeamish about
gobbling foreign territory. No good
reason exists for this government
standing out about accepting so valua-
BILE a gift as Hawaii.-Sheboygan

The fact is now recognized that the
electric road is bound to play an i'm
portant part in fixing the value of
farming lands. Wherever electric
roads have Deen constructed into the
country there has been an increase in
value of the lands lying contiguous to
those lines. The reason for this in
crease lies in the fact that the roads at
ford an easy and rapid access to the
city, which is the great consumer of
farm products of all descriptions.
Where the benefit comes in is through
the increased freight traffic facilities
which enhances the value of the farm
products by bringing them closer to
the market. Suburban electric roads
are destined to be popular, and, in
course of time profitable to the pro-
iectors. From the progress now being
made in road building of this char
acter, it will not be long before the
country will be gridironed with them.

Congress is already beginning to

The amount of money received from
the sale of the state park lands more
than realizes the expectations of those
instrumental in having the law passed
the act just contaminated
The sale has brought the state nearly
$780, 900 and the number of acres sold
is less than 10000, making the amount
of money realized by the state nearly
$40 per acre. The competition was
lively and the state has certainly OBJ
tanned full value for its lands. AS this
