ABOUT BANANA RAISING.
Much INTEREST SHOWN IN IT Of
HAWAII.
Direct Communication With the Coast
Stimulates Inquiry Dealers
on the Coast are Interested.

With the advent Of the Puget Sound
and Hawaiian Steamship line the ba-
mana industry has been given a fresh
impetus and it seems probable that
within the next sixty days hundreds
of acres of heretofore idle land will
be planted i'm bananas and pineapples,
says the Hawaii Herald The fact that
the line was to be started was commu-
nicated to the people of San Francis
60 through the Seattle and Tacoma
newspapers, and dealers in fruit in
California have revived their interest
in the Hawaiian product. In speak
ing of the matter recently, r. I.
Guard. agent of the Matson line of
sailing vessels. said
~ number of persons have asked
my advice about planting bananas
and ! have told them all to go ahead.
If one line of vessels does not take
them another will and the planting of
such fruit will be a help to Hilo and
the surrounding country. BY the
last mail | had letter from l.. c..
SreSovitch one of the leading fruit
men of San Francisco and the Sound.
He had heard of the new line and ask
ed me to advise him as to coming
here and looking over the field. You
can see that other men than those on
the sound are interested, and believe
that quite an industry in the fruit
line may be developed.
at is the opinion of men who know
the character of the soil around Hilo
that much finer grade of bananas
may be grown here than on Oahu. but
the people who plant must not think
they can plant and let them grow
wild-bananas TO have good flavor
must be cultivated just the same as
other fruits. and when they are, the
people of San Francisco and Puget
Sound will be willing to buy them
Why even in San Francisco now there
is a class of people who will pay a
higher price for island bananas on
account of the superiority of flavor
than they will for the Central Ameri-
can article. | consider that there is
an opportunity for holders of small
tracts of land near Hilo to make con-
siderable money in growing fruits if
they 90 about it right, but they must
not forget that fruits must be cul-
tivated. Aside from bananas is the
pineapple. San Francisco fruit deal
ers have almost given up entirely the
Central American fruit and this fact
furnishes still further encouragement
10 land owners here. The cultivation
of the better grade of pineapples in
this district can be made profitable
for there are acres upon acres of land
in Olaa and Puna where they may be
grown at little expense. The compile
ton of roads through these districts
reduces the difficulties of getting
them to a port of shipping and the
establishment of steam lines with the
coast brings them to a market"

DISAPPEARING GUN CARRIAGES

The disappearing carriages are built
in accordance with any one of a num-
Der of mechanical principles; but,
whatever system be employed, the
practical operation is the same.
In front of the gun is an immense
shield of sand and concrete present
ing no projection or angles which
would reveal it's location. Behind this
the gun lies hid. 1t is loaded, given
the proper elevation and direction,
rises, discharges its projectile, and the
recoil returns it to it's hidden posi-
ton.
To test the value of such mountings
the English conducted experiments
at Portland in 1885. A pit was dug in
the natural slope of hill and in this
pit wooden model of a large gun
was mounted upon a disappearing
carriage. 1t was arranged to appear
for half minute at intervals of three
minutes, emit puff of smoke and
disappear. The Hercules at 800 yards
fired in 10 minutes 6910 rounds from
the machine guns and 20 rounds from
its ix-pounders. The gun stuck in
the seventh minute and could not be
hauled down. In spite of this it was
struck only 10 times, and had it been
steel the effect would have been sim
ply to scratch the paint. Besides this,
% 1O-inch shells were fired at it from
a distance of $500 yards and no hits
were made, the shell striking from
from 100 yards left to 100 yards right.
This was under circumstances unfav-
orable to the gun, since it did not re-
turn the fire. A fixed gun subjected
to a similar test was struck over 200
times.

How the Spanish Defeated Napoleon.

The Spanish press has been indulging
in much glib talk about how 1--WE de-
feated Napoleon" and how eve drove
the French out of Spain. One unac-
quainted with the facts might infer that
the emperor met his Waterloo in Spain
at the hands of the Spaniards instead of
in Belgium at the hands of the English.
1t is true that the popular uprising
in Spain beginning in 1908 was the
inception of the popular revolution
against Napoleon which ultimately
spread all over Europe and led to the
great commander final overthrow.
1t is not true that the Spanish defeat
ed Napoleon or drove him out of Spain.
Napoleon was never driven out of Spain,
and his armies were not driven out un-
til Wellington's fourth successive at
tempt, after five years in the peninsula.
In the first popular revolt Spanish
army under Castanos besieged General
Dupont with 20, 600 men at Baylor,
and finally starved him into surrender.
But punishment for this defiance of the
emperor was sudden and awful. Napo-
leon himself entered Spain in 1903, and
made short work of the English and
Spanish. In four days Marshal Lefevre
dispersed Bfake's army and Lannes
overwhelmingly defeated Castanos at
Tudela. On Dec. Napoleon appeared
before Madrid in person, and on the 4th
the city surrendered. The emperor
forthwith abolished feudalism and
swept the hoary inquisition out of ex-
istence. The Spanish patriots were soon
crushed, except for guerrilla bands, and
Sir John Moore, before the combined
advance of Napoleon and Soult, fell
back into Portugal and embarked his
troops, losing his own life in the stub
born battle of Coruna. Compelled to
leave Spain by the menacing attitude of
Austria, which was preparing itself for
another whipping, Napoleon left Soult
and Victor to preserve order in Spain.
And they did for the most part until
Wellington IS victory at Victoria in 1913
gave him control of the peninsula.
That is the way the Spanish defeated
Napoleon. Minneapolis Journal

HIS REPORT IS OUT.
BreidenthaPs Report is out-Proposes
That All Private Banks In
corporate

Since Bank Commissioner Breiden-
that's report has. been issued, in which
he recommends that all private banks
be required by law to incorporate and
in which he points out the advantages
of state over private banks, there has
private banks of the state to incOrpOr-
ate. The first one to make the move IS
the Bank of Dodge City which incOr-
porated today as the State Bank OF

$4,000, and its directors are George NJ
Hoover, Richard w. Evans, j ohm / Lee,
Erman E. Smith and Cassius c. War

controlling interest, 60 of the 100 shares
A number of the other state banks
are now preparing to incorporate and
will do so as soon as the arrangements
can be completed. They do not wish
to wait until they are required by law
to incorporate, but will do so at once
Mr.. Breidentha1 expects q. large proper
tiOn of the 80 private banks which ex-
listed in the state at the time his report
was made, to reorganize as state banks
