sUoAR-oRowINo IN HAWAII.
Production Has Rapidly Increased In

Production Has Rapidly Increased In
the Last Few Years.
An incident occurred during the PEN
dency of the Hawaiian question. long
before the war with Spain broke upon
U.S. The diplomatic representative OF
the islands WAS urging his plea upon
the foreign committees of congress,
and among other evidence he produced
very full maps of each island. drawn
on a scale sufficiently large to show
every plantation on them. The fear
or some in congress was that IL the
islands should be annexed the produc-
tion of sugar would increase to such
an extent that Louisiana interests
would be jeopardized. AS 1t was. the
Californian markets could absorb the
sugar products of the island. but even
moderate increase would lead to the
sending of raw sugar round the cape
to the eastern markets. To assuagc
this fear these maps had been pre-
pared. The lowlands along the coast
and between 1t and the foot of the
mountain cones were the plantations
fitted for sugar. and every available
occupied and in full cultivation. There
was no new land to be used for sugar.
A slight rise along the mountain slopes
prohibited the growth of the cane. and
only coffee promised profit. In
short. it was urged there could be no
increase in the sugar crop of the
islands, it was a physical impossible
ity. impressed by this proof, had the
maps copied. and showed them freely.
The event developed the unexpected.
In 1894 the imports of sugar from
Hawaii were 3O5.S50, 900 pounds: in
1896. when the production was sup
posed to be at its maximum, they were
43S,770.000 pounds, gain in two years
of 40 per cent. or an average of about
32l per cent per annum. In 1897 they
rose to sol. $4,000 pounds, an increase
of IA per cent. and it is now SAID tina.
paintings cover more ground than
ever before. More than that, the pro
duction has outrun the ability Of the
western market to absorb It, and it is
to New York that the surplus is sem

LIttIeton IN. H.l Letter.


In this quiet little hamlet lives
sturdy son of New Hampshire, whose
experiences during the years when the
only travel through the White noun
tain region was by means OF Concord
coaches would fill good-sized book.
Edward Lucas is yet, although past
the Rubicon of age. able to recall
many interesting incidents OF those
good old days" as he loves to desig-
nate them. and many visitors to this
section will easily recall him as one
who guided the mountain wagons in
their deep descent down the precipit-
GUS slopes of Mount Washington to
the old Glen house few years back.
In 1862 Mr. Lucas was the owner of
stable in Littleton. and. as all travel
beyond this point in those days was
by carriage, he made hosts of trips in
that manner through the mountains,
beside helping out the regular stage
routes when they had more passengers
than they could conveniently carry.

A New Golf club.

One OF the latest devices Of the fad
dist IN golf clubs IS the single-piece
driver. which is said to possess distinct
merits over the ordinary implement.
The idea emauates from the other side,
where most OF tne innovations of this
kind have their origin. and those who
are responsible for its introduction
claim that the club is the longest driy-
ing implement that has yet been pro-
dueed. As its name implies. it is
made all OF one piece, the shaft being
beut at the neck to allow the head Of
the club the proper angle, and In this
way the grain runs continuously from
ito to toe.
