WORK ON OLAA.

HILO, August 1.-The Hawaii Herald
quotes j. G. Pratt at considerable
length on the progress of work on Olaa
plantation.
Il was through Olaa a few months
ago" said Mr.. Pratt, before any work
was performed and l could not help
noticing the great changes that have
taken place since my visit at that time
In the lower lands the greatest amour;
of work has been done and it shows
for itself. l would not dare say how
many acres have been cleared, but
there is a large tract of the finest soil
ever saw anywhere.
"A number of plowmen are working
the land and preparing it for seed and
in a few months this will be growing
finely. The fern trees have all been
cut down and piled in different parts
of the land, the stumps have bee1 cut
close to the ground and burned. As
the trunks decay they become excellent
fertilizer and add to the quality of the
land. From the road the scene is one
that will win the admiration of any
sugar planter. In the vicinity of nine
miles great progress is being made in
the erection of buildings; quarters for
the men and substantial stables have
been erected I believe the managers
residence will also be built there.
Anyone who has been through Olad
knows what the SOIL is ana KNOWS tllat
irrigation is not needed and in this
there will be a great saving of expense.
In my opinion Mr.. McStoCker shows
wisdom in concentrating his efforts:
and his work shows for itself in a way
that anyone can see what is being done.
"A friend of mine from the States
who visited here a few weeks ago has
an option on a contract for clearing
1000 acres. 1t is a class of WORK he is
70, Tor 1,tit he iS tO,o 1pfl
to Asiatic labor. He has returned to
the States for the purpose of securing
the same white men who have worked
for him in the past. If he can get them
down he will take the contract and
proceed with the work

SYSTEM or SUPPLY FOR TIVE
MAUI TOWNS.
Government Engineers Sow Laying
out the Liues-Reseryoir to be Built
ON High Ground.

WA1LTKU. Maui August 5.-J. T..
and J. T.. Taylor, government engineers.
are now in town and are busy laying
out the lines for the water works sys-
TEN which will supply both Wailuku
and Kahului. The Improvement has
long been necessity for both towns.
Waikiki for years has had to depend ON
bitches for water supply. Kahului
has been forced TO haul drinking water
from Waikiki. This state of affairs Will
soon be at an end and residents of both
towns win mark the day when the
works are completed.
Money for the water system was APP
propriated by the last Legislature. The
Government officials lost no time in
taking the first step and secured a piece
of land at the head of the lao valley,
which carries a valuable water right
with it. This water viii be piped to a
reservoir which will be built on high
land above the town of Waikiki. a
second reservoir vii be built on land
above Eahulu splendid force Of wa
ter will thus be obtained. bitches will
be built to both reservoirs, and when
there is an overflow. the waters will be
carried to near by plantations. H.

Thus it appears that, with the omis-
sion above noted, 80 per cent of the pos
sible mothers in the country, the 3lst
day of last December were Aslatlcs'
But since that date larger additions
have been made to the number of Jap
anese women in the country. Just how
large | did not and do not know. But
| thought and still think 1t probable
that the increase during the three
months after the census day ana our
ing the time since December 81, 1898,
has amounted to not much, if any, less
than 3 per cent. In other words, the
number of possible Asiatic mothers at
present is not much, if any, short of 40
per cent of the whole number.
AS to the relative fecundity of the
races, our very excellent census report
must be taken as a whole. While 1t I'M
doubleday shows that the japanese
mothers have not borne so many chill
dren, on the average, as have the 9TH
ers it also shows that they are abnor-
| mally young, only 20 out of 1000 having
| passed the age of 40, and hence that
/ they are likely to add abnormally to
the number of their children. And TAX
ing into account social and industrial
conditions, together with the figures in
Table Two, 1 believed and still believe
that as their labor contracts expire and
they become comfortably situated, Jap
anese women have become and will be-
come more prolific than the average OF
course the scarcity of big girls among
them must be taken into account in
these calculations. But the abnormal
number of young women and the large
number of small children will almost
overstep the breach left by the big girls
Moreover, the death rate has a direc
bearing upon the question since little
children of the present, and even thos'
yet unborn, will be parents within tn
time specified And it should be born
in mind that the Chinese mothers, a
! shown in Table Two, steadily maintain
their position as second only to Portu
guese mothers in the number of chill
dren they bring up.
Now Mr.. Editor, / was not carrie
, away by the mere number of Asiatics Il
!. the Islands," but it was as result o
these calculations that l reached tn
conclusion to which you take eXcep
tons. And by the expression "nearl,
half" l meant 40 per cent or more. If
erred | did so deliberately and as re
l suit of some error in my calculations
which have not yet discovered.

Possible Percent

*One per cent lost by discarding frac-
tiOnal percentages.
This shows 30 per cent of the possible
mothers in 1896 to have been Asiatics.
But immigration has materially chang
ed percentages since that time. AL
though the ages of women coming into
the country are not given in the pup
lished reports of the Collector General
of Customs, it is we'll known that, as a
rule such women are for the most part
young This is especially true of the
Japanese, so that it is safe to say that
the assumption that all are between the
ages of 10 and 45 will not tend to eXag-
gerate the preponderence of the Asiat-
les. Making this assumption and as
suming that the number of the possible
mothers IS given above, passing beyond
the age of As and of those dying, has on
~ been equalled by the number of girls
passing the age of 10 Can assumption
which seems reasonable in view of the
high death rate among the race fur
nishng the 80 per cent? and emitting
the changes by immigration between
the census day, September 9th and the
end of the year, for which period have
found a separate record, we obtain for

Thus the fact is reached that in 1896
the Asiatic women, being "a per cent
of the whole number, We're the mothers
of % per cent of the children under l
year of age. In other words they were
shown to be a little more prolific than
the average of the women of the ISL
ands over against this fact place the
two facts that Japanese women bear
few children during the continuance OF
their labor contracts and that few OF
them are beyond the child-beartng age,
and the question becomes interesting.

women in Table one, the numbers of
women of each class beyond the age of

I'm MeInorian

Elizabeth BortOn Lanning was born
in Marlboro, Stark county, Ohio, De-
cember Ii, 1894, died in Pochshontss,
Tennessee, December %, 1899
On many homes this Christmastide
heavy shadow fell when it was known
that this noble woman had passed away
In her daily life she had exemplified
the teachings of Him whose festival it
is. AS daughter, sister, wife and
mother, friend and christian worker
she made plain the "holiness of help
fulness."
From her home in Ohio she came to
Plymouth, Indiana, and here a Year
later she married DIR. J. NJ Lanning
and with him removed to Iowa where
they lived for fifteen years, going from
there to Kansas, where her son Meek is
now engaged in the practice of medi-
cine. LIZ 1885 the family removed to
C0rinth, Mississippi and near there, in
Pochahontas, Tennessee, where her son
Jay is physician, her life ended De-
cember 23, 1899
AT her request her remains were
brought to Plymouth for interment in
Oak Hill cemetery. Her two youngest
sons accompanied the body. Her hus-
band, who is an invalid, and her oldest
son, who has serious illness in his fam
lily, not being able to attend the burial
The other near relatives who were
present were Doctor Il. A. Borton, of
this city, and Miss BOrton and Mrs. DIR.
j Johnson, of Bourbon, and several
nephews and nieces.
Early in life she united with the
Methodist church and as a consistent
christian added to her faith works, tax
ing an active part in all benevolent
movements.
AS teacher in Ohio and later in In
diana she won and held the hearts of
her pupils, many of whom remained in
communication with her to the end re-
minding her of how strong an influence
her wise and kindly nature had upon
their lives.
In the west where the greater part of
her married life was passed, her social
graces and liberal culture made her an
important factor in the religious and in
tellectual developement of the com
munities where she made her home.
The generous sympathy which the
members of her household knew 80
we'll was extended to the poor and suf-
fering with whom she came in contact.
