M'BRYDE SuCARCo
Work on New Wells and
Reservoirs.
Tunnellng the Mountain for Water Recent
Rams Enable Planting to be
Pushed at Once

Some recent reports on the condi-
ton and prospects of the McBryde Su-
gar Company show the rapid develop
ment of its property.
Three fine wells so far have been
sunk at the Hanapepe station. Plant
ing is continued without waiting for
the Hanapepe pump. The recent
rainfall of three inches shows that the
waste of water from the Wahiawa riv-
er, If 1t had been saved for only TWEEN
ty-four hours, would have irrigated the
plantation for a long time. The 1000
foot tunnel connecting the Wahiawa
river with the reservoirs which are
being built will be finished in about
four months. One of the reservoirs,
which will hold 75,0OO,OOO gallons of
water, is now completed. The old ma
tive ditch has been cleaned and re-
paired and will carry water to the new
reservoir. Five more reservoirs are to
be built and the total capacity of these
will be about 100000, 900 gallons of
water. The tunnel, which will soon
be finished, will carry the surplus or
freshet water of the Wahiawa river to
these reservoirs.
The tunnel into the mountain in
search of water is already in sixty feet
and now adds about $4,000 gallons per
day. All of the reservoirs will be at
an average elevation of 800 feet and
will irrigate the upper lands above the
4OO-foOt level.
There is abundant labor on the plan
tation at present. The recent rains
enable planting to be pushed, and the
crop will soon be planted, which is ex-
pected to yield an S,000-ton crop in
1901. The present mill will grind this
crop. The new mill will be built when
ever the company has made its plans
for erecting it, but 1t is not necessary
to hurry 1t at present. Work is going
on at Laval In well-boring. There are
now two well-boring outfits in the val
ley, and the Reidler pump will be In
operation by January l. Three sets of
steam plows are now on the way to the
Islands. The first will arrive in two
weeks. The iron for 100 railroad cars
has already arriyed and the woodwork
Is now being constructed.

NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-The Worlds
London cable says: The proposed
formation of British flying squadron
is purely defensive measure and in
spired by the bitter hostility to En-
gland displayed by the Continental
press. The Russian official organs are
foremost in threats and indictments to
joint action against Great Britain, and
though official Germany proclaims it.
self neutral the German press is second
only to Russia in its denunciation of
England's South African policy.
Though not believing at present that
ialize the British Government is taking
precautions against eyentualities.
The difficulty and delay in MOBILIZE
ing an army corps for South Africa Is
regarded as most unfortunate and cal
ci;lated to induce Great Britain's enc
mics abroad TO take advantage of the
present crisis TO satisfy old animosities.
The formation of an Irish corps with
Kruger eXcites violent resentment.
The Globe advises commanders of
British forces that their duty, should

The meeting of the Cabinet tomor-

monstration by the supporters of the
Government and elaborate police ar

innovation. Heretofore the assembling
of the Cabinet, even at the most cri-
teal times, has been witnessed by only
small gatherings Of idlers or casual

ARMSTRONG AT SANS SOUCI.

George Lycurgus was in town on
Saturday afternoon and brings most
favorable reports of Armstrong; con-
dition. His daily regime is almost
identical with that OF Denny; early to
bed and early to rise is the order of the
day, with plenty OF good hard work
sandwlched in between. Hamilton Hill
is helping Armstrong fit himself for the
contest. Armstrong Is open to appli-
cations for the position OF human
punching-bags, he having used up"
the two he took out with him.
He, rs well as Denny, is confident OF
gaining the decision. Both men have
plenty of supporters, the betting being
at equal odds at present, though there

IL Honolulu People Arc Not Con-
WINGED by Local Testimony They
Diner From Other People.
Our readers will have noticed how In
the past two years Cures" have multi
piled In the newspapers very fast, and
the public are becoming skeptical.
Facts are demanded, but 1t has also
become essential to know who sup
plies these facts, where they are from.
People will not now accept incredible
cures from the other side of the world.
They want them at home. Give us
some neighb0r, then I will believe" IL
what il asked for. Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills do this. Call It what you
like. home. local or neighbor's testi-
mony, you can always ascertain the
truth of 1t without leaving the city
limits. Here IL case:
Mr.. w. J. Maxwell Of this town, Tru-
ant ofncer. writes thus: II suffered
with horrible pain in the small of
my back ian almost invariable symp-
tom Of kidney trouble) for q number
of years. ! was advised to take some
of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and
following the suggestion, went to the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'s store. Fort street,
and got some Of these. Having taken
them, they relieved me straight away,
and are, I may say, the best and In fact
the only cure for backache. I have
mentioned the virtue Of this wonderful
iemedy to several persons, among
whom is my friend, Mr.. Frank Metcalf,
who found relief, and he il now a firm
believer in Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills."
Some Of the symptoms of kidney dis
ease are pain in the back, and sides
headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin. shortness OF
breath, evil forebodings, troubled
sleep, puffiness of the eyelids, swelling
Of the feet and ankles, loss Of flesh,
dark colored urine, deposits, etc. II
you have any Of these symptoms you
should lose no time In treating them,
for delay Is dangerous.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at so cents per box, six boxes $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt Of price by

by them Of their part Of the contract,
but also relief so that they may be able
to specifically perform their duty to
the San Francisco parties. The own
ership of the assigned right to place
large blocks of stock, as in this case.
carries with II incidentally certain val
liable rights or privileges, as, for ex-
ample. the control of the granting OF
exchange with its premiums and OF
contracts for supplies or otherwise for
The plantation. The value of these
privileges, commercially. while 1t is
real, is incapable OF exact ascertain
ment in terms OF money. Moreover,

did in disposing of the stock in San
Francisco, placed themselves under OBJ
legations and liabilities to those with
whom they dealt, which liabilities such
latter parties are at liberty to and may
enforce II the complainants fail to
make good their representations and
secure a transfer OF the stock. Just
what sum they would be liable for Is
also Incapable of exact ascertainment.
In my opinion, the complainants. while
having no property interest in the
stock itself, are nevertheless entitled
to ask OF the Court to compel the re-
spondent Dillingham; to perform his
duty under the assignment which Is the
subject Of this suit by transfer Of the
stock to them for those with whom
they have placed 1t in San Francisco.
Such relief, II granted. will enable
them to do their full duty to the San
Francisco subscribers ana thus avoid a
multiplicity Of suits. This equity al
ways seeks to do.
