HlLO, Hawaii, March lS.-The fol-
loving is published In the Tribune Of
this date:
Dr. \. H. Nichols came up to Hilo
again by the last Kinau and will prob
ably remain here a couple OF weeks on
matters connected with the establish
mont OF the proposed sugar plantation
in Olaa, among which will be the buy
ing up of as much seed cane as can be
secured.
Il am willing to tell you everything
! know about the project" said DIR.
Nichols to a Tribune representative.
The capital behind the promoters of
this enterprise is all local-that is, on
the lslands-and 1t was not undertake
en- until there was ample assurance
that the cane possibilities were per-
fectly good. One OF the men back OF ii
who has had ample experience with
sugar, after a trip of investigation
through the district, said ne believed
It was the finest cane district on the
Islands.
The land We have occurred lies on
both sides Of the road and Is contin-
uOus up TO the twenty-frst mile,
though, OF course. there are tracts here
and there which We have not been able
20 obtain. In all We have about 5000
acres. We are prepared to taAe more,
and probably shall. Indeed the extent
Is almost indefinite and a mill will be
erected capable OF handling the pro-
duct Of 10000 acres. Investigation
.eads US TO believe that there are
sources of water supply far greater
uhan has Ueen generally supposed, al
though We shall not probably do any
fluming but will transfer the cane by
trolley system and railways running
through the land.
The stock will be put on the mar
ket in Hilo and Olaa as well as Homo
lulu. There is quite a desire noticeable
to purchase these shares, and in Olaa
shares of stock were frequently taken
in exchange for land.
| This proposition has really been q
godsend to many men there, who are
now able to pay up their liabilities and
have a decent sized sum to the good,
and who would otherwise have been
unable to pull out. ! never attempted
TO jew down land holder If he asked
anything reasonable for his property.
because | knew it was a good enough
proposition for everybody to make
something out of. These people had
borne the brunt in showing the district
was good for something and | wanted
them TO reap the advantage of 1t.
Coffee already doing well and ad-
vanced in age will be left and cuItivat-
ed along with sugar. Partly as a mat
ter OF sentiment and partly because 1t
is by no means certain that 1t will not
be as good thing in its way as sugar.
At least both will be given even
chances. Again, If the cooperative
plan should be tried, and families To-
Gated 20 work on the plantation, they
will be given a few acres OF coffee each
to cultivate on their own account
A railway line, which will be part
of system. running up the coast, and
eventually betting the Island, will run
from Hilo to Olaa by which the pro-
duct will be shipped to the coast This
will be put through by the same cap
italists as the plantation but will be
run separate from it."

U. S Ownership of Nicaragua Canal

Nicaragua wishes the canal com
p.eted at the earliest possible moment;
she also should prefer tie United
States to do the work and operate the
canal when finished. 1t now depends
upon Congress to harmonic conflict
ing interests. The United States has
the matter entirely in her own hands
If she chooses to reappoint Commits
sions indefinitely to investigate and
report to each succeeding Congress for
the next twenty years on the feasibil-
ity of the proposition and the financial
cost, rather than to begin digging, she
need not be surprised or disappointed
if at length some private corporation
undertakes the work and carries it to
a successful finish. But if she means
sincerely to follow policy to which
Republican platforms have been pledg-
ed for years, legislation can be enacted
and negotiations can be entered into
which will cause the shovellng of dirt
on the isthmus within six months.

ness of purpose on the part of the

Relations with Nicaragua" by Cory

From Farragut to Dewey.

On Thursday last the Admiraps flag
that once belonged to the great Farra-
gut, and which was first given to the
breeze from the peak of the Hartford
on August IL, 1862, was presented to
Admiral Dewey in the harbor OF New
York. There was a special fitness in
this presentation, for Lieutenant
Dewey served under the older admiral
when his fleet passed Forts Jackson
and st. Phillip, and at Port Hudson,
and, like him, won promotion outside
the order of seniority by especially
gallant and meritorious service.
Great things have happened in the
twenty-seven years since that flag was
unfurled. Then there was not an
armored ship afioat except the little
Monitor, which performed in such
wonderful way in Hampton Roads in
March of that same year. Steel ships
had not been thought of. The most
powerful cannon was not dangerous
beyond range of one mile. Now all
ships both FOR war and merchant SER
vice are of iron or steel, and their
powerful guns do terrible execution at
range of ten or fifteen miles.
The Hartford, on which Farragut
sailed up the Mississippi and into
Mobile bay, was wooden ship that a
single shot from the smallest gun on
the Olympia would sink without being
exposed to the slightest danger. Yet
the Hartford was one of our best war
ships thirty-seven years ago. Could
Farragut have had one such battle
ship as the Oregon or Iowa he could
have silenced Forts Jackson and ST..
Phillips without the aid of one other
vessel. If the South could have had
one such ship as the Monterey, in
place of the Merrimac, the Confeder-
acy would probably have triumphed.
Could Napoleon have had single one
OF our battleships or cruisers at the
beginning OF the century, the history
of Europe, and indeed of the world,
would have been different.
The old flag that Dewey now flies
from the peak of the Olympia, was
saluted in nearly every port in Europe
in 1858 with honors almost equal to
those shown it and the man who flew
it yesterday in New York. Both flag
and man were worthy of it all. They
belong to a period of great things and
wonderful progress. Seattle Times.

In spite of hot weather and untlme-
ly rains, Washington wheat is making
record. In the Walla Walla country
threshing IS practically completed and
the bulk of the grain is safe in the
great warehouses. A few more bright
days, such as the great wheat belts
have been blessed with for the past
three weeks. and the crops in the
Palouse and Big Bend belts will be
safely garnered. In these districts the
hum of the combined harvesters are
heard night and day and Sundays;
the bright moonlight nights making
night work possible without the aid of
lanterns. More than three-fourths of
the crops in these districts has already
been saved.
The yield throughout the various
districts is surprise to nearly every
one, grain is turning out better than
was anticipated and is quite free from
dirt and foul stuff. However, some
localities have turned out vast
amount of shrivelled and bleached
wheat, owing to hot winds early in the
season and untimely rains later. But
even in these unfavored localities it is
claimed that where proper care has
been exercised in seeding, farmers
have harvested an average crop. The
average yield of wheat throughout the
various districts is comparatively high.
Probably the largest yields reported
thus far come from Whitman county,
where p. J. Walker of Riverside
threshed 1900 bushels of No. 1 from a
patch OF thirty acres, averaging sixty
bushels to the acre; and Mr.. Thurston
of Johnson, reports $3.50 bushels from
fifty acre tract, or seventy three
bushels to the acre. 1t is yet too early
to make an average estimate yield per
acre for the state, but the general
average of former years will undoubt-
edly be maintained.
The only thing the farmers are
worrying about now is the price, but
generally would be willing to let go
for fifty cents.-W. G.. Trade,

Puget Sound freight.

The East bound freight business
from Puget Sound and the Northwest
is now well on in its movement East
ward. On all lines there is shortage
OF cars, which, however, at the present
time is chiefly of the kind for the
shipment of lumber. Local freight
agents report that green fruit, such as
pears, peaches and prunes from Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho, are moving
freely and are of good quality. They
are said to be little lacking IN sweet
ness on account of having had little
sun carly III the season. Most of the
shipments to the present time have
been billed 10 st. Paul and Chicago.
The salmon pack from the Cclum-
bia river, headwaters of the Sound and
Fraser river is not SO large as last year
but there is very heavy movement
eastward, billing being principally
made 70 Atlantic points and to the
interior states.

The hop crop Is one that is now

This year il IS anticipated that Wash
ington will produce fully one-third
more than b,.ore, while reports from
Oregon and ether districts show a God
condition. o ing to the lateness Of
the season shipments are not expected
TO begin beforc October. A large
percentage OF t:.c hops grown in pre-
vious years have gone to Europe.
While this year, it is said, more will
be used at home, the crop is SO large
that exports Will be about the same.

Cannot have q Port.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Representa-
tive Cushman, Of Washington, either
misunderstood Assistant Secretary
Adee, of the state department, when
talking with time here, or Mr.. Adee
was not informed upon the Alaska
boundary negotiations as conducted
by Secretary Hay with Representatives
of Great Britain.
Secretary Adee denies he ever said
the United States would make conces-
sions to Great Britain amounting-to~a
virtual surrender of the upper part OF
Pyramid harbor.
There was nothing in modus vivendi
which gives Canada or the British gov
eminent any access to- tide water.
Your correspondent is assured of this
today bv the very highest authority.
The only part which has any bear
ing whatever on tide water is that
with reference to Chilkoot pass and
the demand last submitted by Secre-
tary Hay suggests that the temporary
line be placed to northward of the
village of Kluckwan two miles. This
is even above canoe navigation.
In connection with the modus
vivendi there is absolutely no discus
sion regarding the granting to Great
Britain of o part of Lynn canal, the
right of way across American territory
or access of any character.
There has been some talk ON the
question of giving Canada access to
the Dominion from the Pacific, but alb
solutely no concession of this charac-
ter has been made by the United
States and this is matter that has to
be left entirely to future negotiations
The modus vivendi is highly favorable
to this government, more so than the
American officials had expected

Saw a Great Glacier Travel.

John P. Fults, jr. formerly prosecut-
ing attorney of Jefferson county, XIV,
arrived in Seattle last week from
Yakutat bay, where he was picked IN
by the United States revenue cutter
McCulloch. Mr.. Fults met with MANY
hair breadth escapes in trying to get
out OF reach OF the Alaskan earth
quakes of September 10. His expert
ences in the main were published in
the Post-Intelligencer of Sunday in an
Associated Press dispatch interview
with the Rev. Sheldon jackson. Re-
counting his miraculous escape Mr..
Fults remarked that he and his COM
panlons are probably the only men
living who actually witnessed a great
glacier move half a mile in about Eve
minutes.

bay, where Fults and his companions.
