say they expect to be kept Gus filling

A Year of GrsaS Prosperity With !
Big Prospsc: An sac. Inter

The following is "A complete abstract
OF tn Eva Plantation Company's re-
port. The pamphlet. advance sheets OF
which We use. will not be ready for de.
livery until the 23d. Until then Messrs
Castle & Cooke viii have no pam.
phlets To- deliver:
To the President md Directors OF the
Eva Plantation Company.
Gentlemen: | herewith submit the
ninth annual report OF the Eva Plan
tation Company for the year ending
September 80. 1899:
Crop of fSy9-This amounted TO d.
257 tons of sugar. which averaged
S71.36 per ton net at the plantation; the
yield should have been greater. but
owing to a prolonged grinding season,
dependent on Inadequate milling ca
pacity. there was considerable loss
through deterioration of cane. In ad-
dition TO this the Juice purity and the
amount of sucrose in the cane were
low, lower than they had been for sew
eral years: so that, while the average
weight of cane ground per day for 1899
was 1855 tons against 90S.9 tons in
1898, the daily output of sugar was less.
In spite of these drawbacks, however,
the average return from plant and long
ratOOns was over ten tons per acre. For
detailed statement of sugar-house
work your attention is directed TO mill
report in Memorandum 2.
The Coming Crop for 1900-This will
consist of .S65 acres of plant cane. 643
acres of ratoon cane: total, 2,5OS acres !:
and 10 acres of plant cane from the
Apokaa plantation 20 he ground at the
EVA mill.
IL will be a splendid crop. The cane
presents a fine appearance throughout,
estimate, "a 900 tons OF sugar. There
will still be loss through deterioration
in 1900. although il is expected that
the new machinery. authorized on
March 18th, will obviate this to a very
great extent.
Crop for 1901-A plant crop of about
1000 acres is being set out. and an APP
proximate area OF 300 acres of ratoons
carried over. This will be milled in
the remodeled suSar-house of more
than double the present capacity, and
should yield, il nothing unforeseen
arises. fully 10000 tons.
IL might not be ont OF place TO insert
here a brief statement of the output at
Eva, which. commencing with 1894. is
taken from field memorandum on the
desk before me. IL shows the very
rapid growth of the estate and may be
of interest:

IMPROVEMENTS

These have amounted to $lT3, 36i.96
for the financial year. They cover pur-
chase and erection of various machin-
cry, etc, necessitated by the foregoing
steady enlargement. Eighteen houses
have been built; these include three
dwellings for pump engineers. cottage
for kindergarten teacher, a laboratory
and thirteen houses for laborers. The
greater portion of cost for moving the
lower camp of thirty houses to a posi-
ton on the bluffs near by is also in
cluded. these bluffs being a breezy To-
cation and susceptible of proper drain
age. this removal was decided upon,
principally, for sanitary reasons. As,
however. the former camp site was on
the very richest valley land, the move
is on the line of enlightened self-inter-
est in more ways than one. The same
may be said of the lighthouses fur
nished for the comfort of the laborers
in which the consolidation OF furnaces
for water-heatins has effected n saving
of two-thirdS of the fuel formerly used
an economy which will pay for the
cost OF the houses in less than year.
One Climax" boiler at Station has
been replaced, another is on the ground
to be set up during the coming wet
season.
Nos. 5 and 4 pipe lines have been re-
uewed. and with the old trestle and
cuIverts removed and replaced by steel
pipe. there is not a single wooden con-
uection on the pipe line road" The
larger portion OF this pipe was on hand,
the balance of 5000 feet was paid for
during the present fiscal period.
About three-fourths OF 4 miIe of new
steel fiume has been set up, 4 portion
rs q substitute for WORKOUT wooden
aqueducts. the remainder To convey
water 10 new lands.
\ "Riedler" pump OF 10000, 900 gal
tor capacity has been erected with all
accessories at No. Station. The in
creased capacity of this over the for
mer pump necessitated the drilling OF
two more wells ut this station. This
engine is now delivering 10.5OO. 900 gal
Ions daily. and is greatly relieving the
question OF irrigation on the lower
lands, where so much of the crop for
1901 has been planted. Two extra wells
have also been sunk at No. Station
and another two at the sugar-house
These last will serve the double pur-
pose of providing water for condensa-
ton in the evaporatOrs, and after that
for field irrigation.
Two more reservoirs have been con-
structed for storing pump water, and
i've miles of railroad material bought.
