GALWAY COMPETITION.

ProDosals TO build railways in these
Islands are to be expected. And the
use OF foreign capital for this or any
other good object is, OF course, TO be
cordially welcomed.
If the desire of the promoters of
The Hilo and Honolulu Railroad is
to invest capital here without acquir-
ing other or vested rights, and the
whole community is to be benefited
nv the investment, there can be no
doubt about the attitude the Govern
ment should take about it. The pro-
motors, however, ask chartered right
10 cut the throat of the Hilo Railroad
Company, which already has char
ter covering the privileges which the
latest promoters ask for.
The granting or refusal Of a charter
to these promoters, involves the in
jury of the rights and privileges al
ready granted to the Hilo Railway
Company, and it involves what is of
much greater Importance, the protec-
ton of the whole community.
The promoters ask the right to par
alleP' the Hilo Railway, whenever it
is constructed, which means in plain
language, the right to kill that Hilo
company
The parallel railways in the States
have for twenty-five years caused the
financial ruin of investors in such a
vast amount of money that at last
many States have interfered and for
hidden it. The paralleling of four
transcontinental lines on the Main
land cast three of them into bankrupt
cy and has prevented the earning of
dividends. 'Bradstreet's" stated sew
eral months ago that the commercial
failures of a score of railways, whose
securities involved over 81 900, 900 900,
and the management of them by re-
ceivers in order to avoid creditors,
was due, in large measure, to ''paral-
leling." Nearly all of the railways, es
pecially in the younger States, have
been run by the courts, practice
which is most intolerable, and the
cause of it has been reckless rival
construction.
The effect of free railway charters,
to be had for the asking, has impaired
and destroyed the value of well-cOn-
Quoted railways to an incredible
amount, whose earnings were regular
and upon which thousands depended
for support The officers of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fee hallway in
vested nearly $3O,O0O,0O0 in parallel
ing" other roads from st. Louis to
Chicago, with the result that the prop
erty went into bankruptcy, and thou
sands of investors were cruelty Grip
pied in their incomes. 1t has just
been taken out of bankruptcy, but 1t
can earn no profit. Reckless promot-
ers "paralleled with the West Shore
road, the lines of the II. Y. Central
Railway Co. The result was that it's
gilt-edged securities declined, thou
sands of people were crippled. and the
Central road finally absorbed it at an
enormous cost.
Promoters of these parallel lines do
not put their own money into these
roads. but take the money of a confid-
ing public, who do not understand
these matters, and are the sufferers.
The widows and orphans of the East
have made many of the promoters OF
the parallel roads rich. through the
construction accounts but thou
sands of homes have been made desc
late through the deadly parallel"

Although the charter granted to the
Hilo company does not contain an eX-
elusive right TO build railways, the
Government. having full discretion in
the case. is bound to see that the
rights that it has already granted to
another company are protected. If
that company reasonably fulfills the
objects of its charter. and only so long
as it does so.
The discretion given by law to the
Government is for the protection OF
an industry. and not for its destruc-
ton. 1t would be miserable concep-
ton of its duty to the company and
the public, to permit that company to
be strangled by a useless rivalry. Hav-
ing once granted privileges, it is bound
to protect them as matter of public
good faith. 1t would strike fatal
blow at the security of investments if
it did not.
1t is admitted that two rival roads
cannot be made to pay in Hawaii If
there were enough business for two

irrigation in Northern Africa.

Northern Africa is country which is not all unknown to the traveller; 1t is land of remarkable interest. There is found there some of the most ancient history of the world. In the valley of the Nile civilization sprang forth and reached mark which in some features has hardly been surpas- sed. Yet B man has just returned to the United States who is probably the first to thoroughly explore that country along certain lines. He is the Botanical Explorer of the Agricultural Department, Mir. W. r. swingle. For eighteen months Mir. swingle has been travelling about the Mediterranean countries looking for plants and trees and for the products of the agricultar- ist and the horticnlturiSt which might be of value to the farmers and fruit growers of the United States.
 Especially interesting" said Mir. Swingie, 10 talking of his work, did I find the North African countries. They greatly resemble our own Southwest, and like great portion of it, they are arid. Carrying the parallel still farth- CT, they were, like it, once fertile through irrigation. This great area was once part of the Roman Empire. and the Romans seem to. have known how to irrigate- to, perfection. For there is evidence that all of North Africa was as fertils as is the present valley of the Nile. The waters of the rivers seem to have been stored for irrigation in series of reservoirs, one above the other. The ruins of Algeria indicate a wealthy and populous com munity. Bnt long since the land has reverted to. it's. natural aridity dams have disappeared, and irrigation has ceased; yet the ruins of great cities rise from out of the hot. sandy wastes, well preserved monuments, in the dry atmosphere, to the former grandeur of the Romans. Many of the buildings in these cities are almost entire, showing clearly the style of architecture, the triumphal arches, and other types of Roman work, and until one gets into their midst, it seems hardly possible that they have stood uninhabited for
 long centuries. Where now the burn ing sand of the desert is swept about by the hot winds, covering and uncov- sring carved stoRe and pillars, the green verdure, the swaying palms and the luxnriant growth of the tropics once held away under the magic ia- auence of water, artifcially distribu
 ted. The French Government is now
 making some interesting excavation in Algeria. but otherwise no deseera ton of the wonderful ruins is allowed

It will surPrise many to hear that in. certain districts of Italy the flbert crop rivals the produce of the vine in commercial importance. These de- Gcieus nuts are grown on bushes or shrubs, which are arranged in groups that are from 15 to % feet apar., so as to insure the access of plenty of light and air. They thrive best in Q deep clayey soil, and the planting takes place during November and December of slips from the mother plant.

ASSESSMENT VALUATIONS.

Reinhold Sadler, Governor; W. d.
Jones, Acknowledgement sam. p. Davis,
State Controller; Gentlemen | am this
day in receipt of your warning to Asses
sors, Boards Of Equalization and District
Attorneys of the several counties of Ne
vada under date March 25, 1899. Have
examined same carefully and now am
ready to admit that such notice OF your
intentions to enforce the law regarding
the assessment and equalization OF prop
erty for taxation purposes is not only
| timely but very much needed. My own
opinion Is that a simple citation to the
law ought to be sufficient without your
argument which is. german and peril
nent, but from my experience in office
for the last two years, | fear it will re-
quire a club az well as admonishing
words, to get the average County Asses
sors, Boards OF County Commissioners
and District Attorneys ont of tho miser-
able rut they have been in for the last
twenty wears. Indeed in my ofire
find it almost impossible to make
Roadway against the idea prevailing in
most counties OF the State, including
Washoe, that a law assessment is bene-
fetal to the taxpayer. In my county l
know that the rule has prevailed for
many years Of assessing all property at
TN v,or cont of ZEE aaat, .,aItrn mad ,s-I,on L
demur l am assured that it is custom or
law all over the State, and this too in
the face OF the statute requiring all
property to be assessed at its ''true cash
value" But when | c~riticise n Asses
sor and ask him why he does not follow
the law regarding the true cash value.
he innocently gives me two answers to-
wit: swell its the custom of all
counties, besides its impossible to ascer-
tain the cash value" and when | ask
how he gets go per cent OF it | am voted
a crank.
Such reasoning reminds me of the boy
who asked his father how the sstrono-
mers got at the distance from this earth
to the sun. The father answered that
they guessed at half the distance and
then multiplied by two. Bnt the ex-
trem- al,surdity OF this go per cent rule
is still more apparent when applied, az
it usually is, to money. Think Of the
Assessor accepting an assessment OF
5000 On 1000 dollars OF gold coin.
Your suggestions in favor of assessing
property at its full cash value is. not
only in accord with the law hut if fol-
lowed in all instances will result in great
good in several ways to the people of he
State, among which is the inducement
to capital aud people to come here and
invest and mske homes and thus build
up a State, for as you suggest, it is the
high rate of taxation that deters the
homeseeker and the capitalist.
I believe too that q fair valuation OF
the property OF the State will show a tax
roll OF 80 millions. l shall appreciate
your efforts in the direction indicated
and assist as best l can.
Very Respectfully,
II. II. BECK.
