There are certain circumstances. In

pedlent of building railway, that

TO 1900 acres in cane. The ravines
and the lava flows restrict the possible
fields"
olaa. a new plantation on Hawaii,
has several times the possible acreage
Of 10000 or 1900 acres" ard will, In
few years, have crop of 10000
acres Of sugar.
Says the pamphlet in treating Of
Maui
"The sugar lands Of this Island are
nearly all on the windward side With
one exception they require irrigation.
The water available for irrigation ap-
pears 10 be utilized at present to It's
full capacity. A single plantation at
the eastern extremity of the island ID
perhaps capable of some expansion,
and II has not hitherto been found
necessary to irrigate. Beyond this any
further extension of the sugar area.
except by adding hooks and corners
and forcing the capacity Of the irrigat-
ing water, seems impracticeble. The
total acreage now cultivated for sugar
is about 10000 acres
The II. C. Company, Maui. Las about
AZ. 900 acres OF land, and Kihei about
the same.
There was no pumping CT water for
irrigation on Kauai in 1882. and Nc
Bryde was not even dream, for Col.
Spalding then wrote:
This is often called the Garden ISL
and There is probably a larger per-
centage of arabic land upon II than
upon the others, and much of this Is
already utilized. Irrigation is in all
cases necessary, and there are several
large streams only partially utilized.
But owing to the fact that these
streams are located in immense gorges
of great abruptness, the practicability
of divcrting them upon the land
seems doubtful. In any case the ex-
pense would be enormous, and even II
1t were successfully accomplished 1t
Is further doubtful whether the lands
so irrigated would be extensive enough
to insure under any circumstances a
fair return upon so large an outlay.
Such waters as are at present availa-
BILE are already employed to their full
capacity, and the sugar lands are ap-
parently incapable Of further enlarge
ment, except by mourning the excess

Capt. L. o. White found few days
ago in collection of old documents
in an abandoned desk at Hall & Sons
hardware establishment a pamphlet
entitled THE Sugar Producing Capac-
ity of the Hawaiian Islands" The i'm
pript gave the name of a firm that was
never in business in Honolulu. There
was no name of author. There was no
date. In fact, there was nothing to
indicate the origin of the brochure or
it's use or place of publication. Pro-
lessor w. ID. Alexander was consulted,
and at once identified the work. He
told an Advertiser representative that
the pamphlet had been published at
Washington by Col. z. S. Spalding, in
1882, for circulation in the lobby and
amongst members of Congress at a
time when the reciprocity treaty was
in danger.
The pamphlet is a most careful and
elaborate statement directly under the
heading, and while the statements APP
pear ridiculous at this time, they were
no doubt honestly made by Col. Spald-
ing and others interested in the publ
cation. This table is given, Showing

ton. present and possible, in the Ha-

Queens hospital here from the effects
of the wound. II appears that the
trouble between Wade and Turner had
been on account of Wade's belief that
he might be superseded in his position
by Turner. Wade was placed under ar
rest only after he had been wounded
with a rife handled by Officer Harry
Evans. Wade had been drinking.
Wade is in Oahu prison. He has had
a preliminary hearing and has been
committed for trial in the Circuit
Court on the charge of murder In the
first degree There has been some talk
to the effect that it might be necessary
to send the trial of Wade to the Pacific
Coast. as the shooting happened on the
ship in the ofIing. Wade has some
friends here, being allied to one of the
local secret societies. AS before stated
in the Advertiser. he was at one time
engaged to a young and beautiful Ha-
waiian girl whose name Is familiar to
the public. She broke the engagement
when Wade went out to Manila at the
time the Australia was in service as a
transport.

TO READ THE SHIPS LOG.

A Swedish inventor has patented an
addition to the log, by which its read
ings may : be directly shown in the
chartroom or coming tower The in
strument is connected by means Of an
electric cable to a contact mechanism
giving suitable number Of contacts
per mile to the part of the instrument
that points out the distances on a dial
graduated in miles. The instrument
points out the miles exactly according
to the taffrail log. 1t registers the
miles per hour, and gives, If desired, a
signal on an electric bell when GER
tain distance has been travelled.
