JAVA COFFEE A SUCCESS
INTERESTING EXPERIMENT OF C.
L. WIGHT
Offered a High Price for Yearliug
Trees in His Nursery-How the
Seed was Prepared.

President c. l.. Wight of the Wil1rr.
Steamship Company has recently Deen
experimenting with Java coffee on his
plantation in Puma, with such success
that he has become convinced that it
is the best coffee for these Islduds.
He has been offered a high price for
the trees now i'm his nursery, raised
from seed specially imported W him,
and now almost a year old. In an in
terview concerning his experiment..
Mr.. Wight said to a Star man ;his
morning:
81 imported the Java seed from
some reputable dealers in Java lit
tie more than year ago, md planted
it in my nursery, distributing some of
Pit among nine or ten different parties,
whose experience has been Identical
with mine. which | will relate. Every
grain of the seed sprouted and the
plants We're more healthy and Wig ~
Gus from the start than any | have
seen. | have set out large number
and they are doing splendidly
so astonishing were the results,
that | wrote to the people from whom
I had procured the seed, and asked
them how it was prepared. They re-
piled in detail and seemed glad to-
give the information. The seed was
selected. they told me. only from the
finest trees. and then only the best
and healthiest looking cherries were
picked. The berries were pulped by
hand, and again assorted, all of the
poor and imperfect ones being dis
carded. The seed was then rubbed in
powdered charcoal, and dried in the
shade. The seed was four months old
when / planted it. and as nearly as /
can judge every seed terminated and
produced fine healthy tree.
81 have been offered $1j por thous-
and for my plants, the V 'rsery
to be taken at that ticr ID $50
per thousand for plants .all guam
titles. AS this is fully {, lle the mar
ket price of coffee trees of the same
age, you may readily see that I am
not alone in my opinion that my Ja-
va plants are far superior to any
| grown on the Islands now. At the
| present time, my plants show decid-
ed superiority over those grown from
I Guatamela and Hawaiian. seed, which
were planted at the same time. both
in the size of the plants and in the
| vigorous growth"

IN THE HOUSE.

Minister Cooper asked for three or
four days time in which to answer
questions of Representative Robert
son in relation to harbors and land
ings. Granted.
Representative Pogue presented II
majority report of the Electric COM
mittce on the bill to extend the fran
chise of the Hawaiian Tramway Com
pany, recommending that same be
laid on the table. The reason given
was that the company had not avail
ed itself of the opportunity of install
ing an electric system in seven years,
but on the contrary had given a very
bad service. Besides, a company of
citizens of the Republic of Hawaii had
organized for rapid transit and they
should be given equal chances with a

WILL GET AFTER OTHERS
City Authorities VIII Not lilo Ice
Cream Stands to Be Erected With
out a Special Permit From
the Council.

Pietro Ramiciotti, the ice cream man.
yesterday once more came in collision
with the majesty of the law. Pietro
has had all kinds of difficulty in trying
to find a place to locate his ice cream
stand.
In the first place, Pietro went around
with a petition, which was signed by a
very large number of prominent bust
ness men. This petition was presented
to the city council inc requested per-
mission TO permit Pietro to establish
his ice cream stand at the corner Of
Park avenue and Oak street. The Pc
tition was denied by the council. but
Pietro didn't mind a little thing like
that, so he erected his little snack on
wheels at the corner mentioned just
the same.
Pretty soon the city officials notified
him that he must get off, but he did
not do so for some days. The ques-
ton came up at last Mon
day nights council meetin"
and the chief of police was
instructed to see that Pletro got off
the lot. The chief of police made his
argument pretty strong, apparently
for Pietro moved in a day or two. But
he did not go far. He leased the yard
in front of the old Cottage hotel on
East Park street, and here he again
established his stand.
But the city authorities couldn't see
it that way, and Pietro was again or
dered to move He did not comply
with the order. and day before yester-
day he was arrested and taken to Jail.
He appeared before Justice Fitzgerald
yesterday morning and was fined $2j.
Sentence IA suspended, however, to
give Pietro an opportunity to move
and If he does not do so the fine will
likely be enforced.
City Attorney O'Leary said last
evening that the ordinance prohibiting
the construction Of frame buildings
within the fire limits would be hereafter
rfgidly enforced, and every person who
puts up one of the shacks. whether 1t
is OF wheels or not. unless he has per-
mission from the council TO do so, Will
be arrested.
This shack question has been a source
of a great deal of discussion in the
council, some of the members of which
have been charged with inconsistency
in voting permission to certain people
to allow them to put up frame shacks,
while refusing others.
There has also been some talk of
testing the ordinance i'm the courts,
some claiming that the shacks on
wheels are not buildings in the mean
ing of the ordinance, and furthermore
that the council has no right to allow
one man to erect one of them and re-
fuse the same privilege 10 another.
Whatever may be the outcome, there
will likely be more difficulty about The
shacks before the question is finally
settled.
