CHIEF OF GROUP
Spreckelsvi1le Plantation
to Be Great Producer.
Passage Into Control o. Island
Dream OF First Owner
planters Monthly.

The transfer OF the ownership and
control OF the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company's plantation, bet
ter known as the Spreckels' Plantation
on East Maui, is one of the most note
worthy and largest deals in sugar plan
tation property that has ever taken
place in Hawaii or perhaps elsewhere.
This plantation was started by Col.
Spreckels twenty years ago, on scale
far more ambitious than any previous
venture Of the kind in these Islands.
The extent of land covered by the
deeds and leases, exceeds 10000 acres,
% 600 of which are capable of produc-
ling five tons OF sugar to the acre, pro-
vided water can be obtained for irri-
cation, as the land consists OF rich
alluvial and volcanic soil, such as Is
now being planted by the Oahu Sugar
Company on this Island. Colonel
Spreckels once told the editor OF this
periodical that he hoped some day TO
see a crop of $1,000 tons of sugar taken
off from it, and his early dream is still
among the possibilities of the near fut-
ure. to be accomplished by other par
ties.
For some reason not been known
nor even suspected, there had
been for several months considerable
activity in the shares of this estate,
which, in consequence steadily in
creased in value, till latterly S34 have
been paid to secure them. 1t seems
that a combination of monied men of
Hawaii and California, having full
confidence in the original estimates OF
Col. Spreckels, and his plant TO de-
velope the largest sugar plantation in
Hawaii, and having determined to Sc
cure the control of it, had been quietly
purchasing all the shares offered by
public or private sale, till over two
thirds of the issued stock had been
secured, when a meeting of the share
oped that the control of the company 5
affairs had passed from the original
owners, and a new directorate was call
ed for and chosen, to the surprise OF
every one, including the former board
which gracefully surrendered to the in
evitable The old board was practical
| ly controlled by Rudolph and c. A
Spreckels, while their successors are
residents of Hawaii and California.
The capabilities of his fine estate are
almost unlimited, and under the new
directorate, with abundant resources
| to develop the now latent artesiar
water supply, which is believed 10 bt
practically ineXhaustable, it is among
the possibilities of the near future thai
1.-THE ambition of Col. Spreckels TO turn
out 10000 tons of sugar annually, may
| yet be accomplished by his successors
CThe present owners OF the great
property have planned already tor q
production of 10000 tons of sugar..

his own body so long as life fingered in

around upon which the evil birds set
tied in clouds. There was sound of
tearing, and when the black cloud lifted
there was nothing left of each shape but
clean bones and bloody rags of uniforms.
Scnvengers of the Tropics.
Yet there is a good deal to be said in
favor of the vultures, the scavengers of
the tropics. Without them the pestilence
which follows close on the heels of war
would claim more victims than shot and
shell. Their work of sanitation, though
terrible to think of-guided by unerring
instinct TO corpses hid in the chaparral
which the burial parties fail to find, is as
necessary as that of their fellows in the
Persian Towers of Silence. i
Immediately in front of the hospital Is
the new immune" camp-their white
tents strung in triple rows half a mile or
more along the water side street of San
tiago. When the sun shines. the men ap-
pear to be having a pretty good time
cracking noisy jokes, pitching quoits and
playing cards, grouped Indian fashion
around dirty blanket spread on the
ground. When the windows of heaven
are opened and the rain descends, it is
quite another matter, Then all not on
squat or lie on the wet ground and pass
the time as best they can. In these
peaceful days there seems no need Of
sentinels pacing the quiet street in a
pouring rain; and if discipline" must be
preserved at any cost of life and comfort,
is not Uncle Sam rich enough to provide
each of his soldiers with rubber blan-
ket? If not. the people at large in the
United States would be glad to supply
the deficiency.
A very small portion of the money we
have invested in feeding grateful Cubans
would have furnished our boys with COM
forts which would no doubt have saved
many precious lives. When their disa-
greeable duty is done the wearied senti-
nels crawl under their tents and lie down
| on the sodden ground in their rain-soak-
| ed clothes, thus inviting malaria to assist
! the chilly dews of night and the fierce
| rays of the MONDAY sun in engendering

factory yesterday. Business was not
large and prices In some of the stocks
went off badly. The early morning busi-
ness was fairly good, prices advancing
and some confidence being shown, but
after II o'clock the temper of the trading
changed completely. There was realizing
and sales for the short account that
made it evident that the traders had no
very great hopes for this week. Prices
at the close were off from the opening
in most stocks. The bank statement for
the week seemed to accelerate the bear
ish feeling or at least the market was
heavier after it was given out. There
seems no good reason for this as the
statement could not be considered other
wise than encouraging. The banks have
been engaged in strengthening their posi-
ton as was expected. A large part of
the increase in reserves came through
the payment of loans aud consequent re-
duction of deposit lines. The gain in
legal tenders was smaller than the gain
last week by about $500. 600.

nificant because it substantiated the view
held by the best informed bankers a week
ago that last Saturdays statement would
probably prove to be the poorest showing
made by the banks in connection with
the financing of the Government loan
Another noteworthy feature of the state
ment is the decrease of over S11, 100000 in
the loans. This shows a contraction of
accommodations nearly equal to that re-
ported last week. The rates for money
warrant the statement that whatever con-
traction has taken place has been volun-
tary
The decrease in deposits is about as
consistent as usual though somewhat
larger than is called for by the changes
in cash and in the loans. An interesting
feature is the Increase ofsover $50O,0O0 IN

is an increase in the surplus reserve OF

Mention has been made In this column
recently of the attempt or the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company to obtain control
of the Nassau Electric system. 1t was
stated at the time that undoubtedly this
would be accomplished by the Brooklyn
Company. and that finally the company
would probably absorb all the surface
lines of Brooklyn and the suburbs. The
Rapid Transit Company has now un-
doubtedly practically obtained control of
the Nassau system. The deal is not yet
completed but that 1t will be soon seems
certain. 1t is pointed out by the friends
of the Brooklyn Company that this deal
will prevent the building of parallel lines
and that also very large economies in op-
erations can be made with a better SER
