The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-20

The work that has been done at the
Molokai settlement in giving increas-
ed water supply is very satisfactory so
far, and promises much advantage to
the population. Though there has not
been lack of water for ordinary house
hold purposes, there has been dearth
for the purpose of irrigation. AS there
is a practically inexhaustible supply
from the valley whence the water was
drawn, there is no reason why by
putting in a larger pipe, all the water
required should not be brought to the
settlement. This work is almost COM
pleted, and a considerable increase in
tree planting and garden cultivation
will be the result. Nothing can be
healthier, as an occupation to those in
the settlement, than horticulture.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-20

are blocked with Chinese baggage and
Anglo Saxon bicycles. All these things
we have had and suffered from long
enough But of late it has become the
habit for some of the passengers to
chew tobacco and spit all over the cars,
which is not only disgusting in itself,
but is injurious to the dresses of the
ladies who patronize the cars. More
over it is also becoming the custom to
smoke in all the cars.
The keeping the cars clean is GER
tainly much the duty of the tram car
people, as keeping the track in safe
condition. 1t is a very simple matter
to make regulations on the subject,
and If they are violated appeal to the
law. No persons should be allowed TO
spit on the floor of the cars, and if
they do it, they should at once be
and walk Public opinion will readily
support the officials of the tramway
company if they are firm in this dlrec-
ton. aH
In the matter Of smoking there should
be consideration for both smokers and
non-smokers. There is no difficulty
about the matter in San Francisco.
Smoking is not permitted in the car
nor on the forward platform. At the
back of the car one can smoke. The
population of San Francisco is far
more difficult to handle than the car
travelling population of Honolulu, but
the rules of the car companies are car
ried out without trouble. People simp-
ly obey them because they have to be
obeyed.
Another complaint is about passen-
gers putting their dirty boots upon
the seats. 1t may be a comfortable
way of travelling, but it is not very
pleasant for lady daintily dressed in
white to have to sit down on a seat
upon which a dust covered pair of
number twelves has been resting.
The complaints upon these points
have come to The Star from all direc-
tions. People who have been quite con-
tent to accept the antediluvian form of
transit which we have, without even
murmur, object strenuously to the null
turn at last, and the tram car company
seems to have reached the breaking
point. This matter which is now
brought to the attention of the tram
car officials, will cost nothing to re-
form, and will certainly gain for them
friends, by showing that reasonable
complaint will be attended to.

With the supports Of the Maui people
the car will feel himself strengthened
in his peace policy snd as soon as the
great powers hear of it they will at
once drop their arthaments and turn
their swords into pipughshares. Presi-
dent Mckinley will haveato send per-
emptory orders for the recall of Dew
ey and Otis, and all the national can
non and rifles in the Philippines will be
melted into sugar machinery. 1t was
only the other day that the Maui peo-
pie voted for expansion. Now as ex-
pansion means increased armament,
the Maui people do not seem thorough
ly decided as to what they favor.

TEA.

The question of tea planting has had
very little ventilation in the press of
these Islands, and the letter upon the
subject published on Saturday, writ
ten by James Hutcheon, who has had
thorough practical training in tea Gull
tivation, may call attention to the mat
ter.
! There has been little experiment
ing with tea. The first experiments
were made, as far as memory serves,
at Kukuihaele, by Herbert Purvis. The
tea did well and the leaves We're cured
after a fashion. But it was work by
rule of thumb, and neither the culti-
vator nor the manipulation were scien-
tific. The experiment was made about
IS or SO.
Somewhat later an experiment was
made upon a much larger scale in
North Kona, and the tea grew most
luXuriantly. From this experiment
some tea was put upon the market,
but through causes, with which the
writer is unacquainted ceased to be
sold, or failed to find buyers. The re-
mark at the time the tea was growing
was that it was too luxuriant and the
leaves too coarse. But this might be
modified by special preparation of the
land and experimenting with various
kinds of seed.
1t may safely be said that tea has
has never had thorough chance. But
as Mr.. Hutcheon points out, there is no
reason why the United States, now that
she possesses the Islands, should not
grow and prepare her own tea instead
Of buying it from Japan and China.
Just now all attention is centered on
sugar, but the time will come when we
must have diversified Industries, and
the broadcast minded of those now
gaining wealth, will do wisely to foster
such things while the sun is shining
The tendency on the Islands has al
ways been to put the eggs into one
basket but it is wise to divide them
Of course no one ever does pay atten-
ton to advice or suggestion when the
golden shower is coming in, but no
shower lasts for ever.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-20

The Olaa coffee plantations sink into
the background and sugar is to take
their place apparently. Nothing has
been heard of late of the Puma coffee
plantations. The home of coffee, as a
profitable investment, seems to be in
Kona, but even there the output is linn
tied. Coffee has to pass through it's
season of depression. The history of
sugar cultivation on these Islands has
not been all of roseate hue. Much
money was lost, and much labor was
thrown away before it's profitable Gull
tivation was thoroughly understood,
and it's manufacture had become a sci
ence. When the price of sugar was
three and four times what it is now,
money was lost over it. All industries
have their boom and their depression.
Coffee is not by any means so done as
many people now think.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-03-20

The idea of having an agricultural
society and an agricultural show once
a year, seems to have been quite lost
sight of. Presumably it is very little
use urging such a project now, be-
cause eVerybody's attention is so ia
ken up with sugar! stocks and the cul-
tivation of cane But there will come
a limit to prices at last and attention
will have to be given to steady agri-
cultural progress. There is no better
incentive to local competition and To-
cal improvement. Every principal
county seat in the mainland has it's
annual fair and every state it's annual
state fair. Not only are these fairs
an excellent center where agricultural,
horticultural, dairy products and ma
chinery connected with them, are dis
played and can be compared but the
fair affords a pleasant recreation for a
number of people whose lives would
be very dull without the annual outing.
Now in the Hawaiian Islands, outside
of two or three centers, there is moth
ing but hard work from years end to
years end

The withdrawal OF w. o. Smith from
the cabinet has called for a change.
There has been a division of opinion as
to the new attorney general, and sever
al names were proposed or thought Of
Without being officially asked two gen
tlemen were unoffieially approached.
Neither showed any desire for the
portfolio, and so it has gone to Henry
K. Cooper, formerly minister of for
eign affairs and president of the board
of education. The defunct position of
minister of foreign affairs is easier to
I'LL than the attorney generalship, be-
cause it does not require the unremit-
ting care which the latter does, and the
gentleman who undertakes it will have
more leisure than he who has to work
at the government cases, supervise the
police system of the Islands and at
tend to the many serious matters con-
nected with the board of health.

MONDAY, MARCH 90, 1899.

The authority of the Board of Health
extends throughout the district of Hon
olulu, and indeed throughout all dis
tricts of the Islands, 1t would be well
il one of the officials of the Board
should take a ride up Nuuanu valley,
and investigate the sanitary condition
of the laborers' camp. That an epi-
demic has not started up there, shows
under what sanitary disadvantages
man is able to SUPPORT life. There is
no drainage on the Spot chosen, and the
ordor is, to say the least of it, strong.

but of late they have been worse than

rickety and that the paint is disappear

they accumulate dust and other unde-

Our Timber Lands.

What has been done with timber
lands in Michigan aud other eastern
numbering states is about TO repeat it.
self in this state. TIL use who, for years
have been holding on to timber lauds,
in spite Of the now past hard times,
are likely, within the next two or
three years, to reap a we!l-deserved
harvest. Buyers have been quietly at
work for some time, and the attention
of many capitalists is again turned to
the great natural harvests, only wait
ing to be reaped, in the timber land of
western Washington. One thing mil
itates against selling at present, and
that is most purchasers desire to get
timber lands in large tracts, and this
Is found very difficult 10 procure.
Speaking on this subject, the Mississ-
ippi Valley Lumberman says: Large
mill companies and spectators are
buying up all the available lands in
the Sound country. The territory on
which there is timber available for the
mills Of western Washington is limited
to the narrow strip between the noun
tains and the coast, and it viii not be
long before all Of it is in the hands Of

Rev: d Is hung Up.

The state auditor was yesterday or.
dered to draw !. warrant by the gov
ernorin favor Of John A. Wolfe. com.
monty known here as"Tony," for the
sum Of $3.50, for his betrayal to the
police department of Portland, the
whereabouts of George D. Evans, the
alleged forger OF state warrants.
All, however, may rot prove such
smooth sailing for "Tony" in regard
to getting this money as might be ex-
pected after the assistant attorney GEN
erals opinion, which awarded the sole
credit to Evans capture to Wolfe, and
found that he alone was entitled to the
reward. It is claimed that state mon
les cannot be garnished by creditor
and go other steps have been taken TO,
i possible. secure part Of this money
and make "Toney" Wolfe his just debts
and obligations.
The Mason County journal. [volume] (Shelton, W.T.) 1886-1927, 1899-07-14

"Tug" Wilson, formerly resident
of Olympia, bat now OF Shelton, has a
claim against the same Wolfe, which
he is endeavoring to make valid and
collectable. 1t appears that Wolfe,
who owed most everybody he could,
also owed Wilson $4.05 for goods sold
and delivered, and rent of the premises
on Fourth street next to the old coffee
saloon, from December, 1895 to Sept
ember, 1897, making in all $109.05,
and attachment proceedings have been
instituted.
The papers in the case were given to
Sheriff Billings a day or two since,
who Immediately repaired to the state
Office of the state auditor, where seeing
this warrant lying on desk he took
forcible possession of it, against the
protest of the auditor. The warrant
still remains in the sheriff's hands,
and there is no telling what legal quib-
BILE may be developed during an inves-
tigation of the matter.
No one seems to know exactly what
the outcome will be, but it is believed
that it will be made as difficult as pos
sible for "Tony" to secure this "blood
money" for the betrayal of man con-
siderable of whose money was spent in
buying drinks etc.. for "Tony" Wolfe.
