SUGAR CLIMBS HALEAKALA
PLANTATION on THE SLOPES. OF
THE VOLCANO.
The Threshold of the Palace Of the
Sun to Become a Field of Waving
Cane.

MAUI. September 24.-A new sugar
plantation is Just about assured for
Maui. 1t lies on the lower slopes of
llaleakala, i'm the Kula district, from
the Spreckelsvlle plantation lands up.
Here are some 10000 acres of land,
most of which are available for cane
planting, and land that is pronounce
ed as very rich. Owing to the search
~ of the rainfall, in this section, the
large tract has lain for years and
years, a parched and barren eXpansc,
needing only the touch of water to
make it spring forth into as fertile
and productive district as any on
the islands.
The idea has been talked of for
some years. but it now seems to have
taken definite shape. Pumps will
supply the water, and though it may
have to be raised to a considerable ell
ovation, it can be done with profit.
Sprecllelsville plantation has prov
ed the feasibility of pumps here, and
so it will be no experiment.
Mr.. Mason, capitalist from the
states. and Messrs. Henry Waterhouse,
l.. \. Thurston. b. f. Dillingham; and
H. ! bdIuNIn, nave Deen looking over
the property this week, and it is re-
ported have decided to push the plan
Immediately.
The bulk of the land is owned by
Messrs. II. p. Baldwin and /. A..
Thurston, but many other acres adj
joining, could no doubt also be Sc
cured.
Maui win welcome the new compa-
ny, and the change it will work in the
face of the country.

BLAZE At LAHAINA.
Carelessness With Matches Results
Seriously.

O. LAHAlNA, September 24.-A few
nights ago Lahaina came within an
ace of having a serious fire through
the carelessnesS of a young man of
part-Chinese nationality.
He went, about II o'clock in the ev-
ening. to the house of his father.
who is now in Honolulu, and wishing
to look inside without opening the
door, he struck match and dropped
it through the window on the floor.
He waited until he thought the match
was out and then went away.
\ short time afterwards Deputy
Sheriff Hayselden passed the house
and found that the mosquito net and
bedding were all on fire. As the
house was locked he smashed in the
window. jumped in, pulled the net
and bedding to the floor. and stamp
ed out the flames. Then with the as
sistance of some japanese who lived
IN the adjoining house. he eXtinguish-
ed the fire that was just taking hold
OF the bedstead and floor.

HOG MARKET STEADY

Cattle Steady, Good Receipts,
and Fair Trade.
The wichita bog market yesterday was

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
steady, with only moderate run OF re-
ceipts and quality just fair. There were
four car loads offered on the market be-
sides the local trade, and TWO CT these
loads were mixed. part hogs and part cat
tie, thus reducing the aggregate Supply
Of hogs on sale. The cattle trade was
exceptionally good, and the hog division
was active enough so far as hogs to deal
n went There was a good strong de-
nand for good, desirable butcher hogs
and this call was more than enough 10
readily absorb all the supply. The Dold
Packing company were alone in the pur-
chasing field, they taking all the hogs,
good and otherwise, offered on the days
market. Not near enough hogs came in
to satisfy this one buying element. and
the regular northern order for light hogs
and pigs went begging for sufficient stuff

noss would have been taken and at the
oest prices warrantable had they been
on hand The weight was 21s pounds.

on the whole. was fair. some loads b4inz
fair 10 good, but the bulk of the r71n for
the day was light, though the stock was
not usually thn, or runty. Good. sound.
hard feed hogs marked the bulk OF the
days offerings, though the weight was
little low. Though the tops and the bulk
or sales appear 70 be lower than on Mon
Cay, the lighter weight and absence Of
any real toppy hogs explains this. The
range for yesterday was 10 cents, from

was more narrow, running ~ cents from
