THE. GOOD REPORT
OF OAHU'S MANAGER
What has BIZ en- Acc, mplished
During thu Past
Year

There was not a quorum present at the
meeting of the stockholders of the Oahu
Sugar Company on Saturday and the
meeting was consequently deferred, but
not until after copies of the printed re-
port of Manager Ahrens for the year end
ing September 10, 1900, had been handed
around to those present.
Reports of the treasurer and the audi
tor and the mill report go with the man
ayers report.
In permanent improvements during the
year that is past the sum of 1852, 647.26 has
been expended. 1t has been considered
advisable by the directors to apply and
distribute such expenses on future crops
by a loan rather than use the total in
come of one years crop for the purpose,
as the profits from the expenditure for
improvements will not be appreciable for
some time to come. Bonds in the amount
of $3.50 600 were issued by the directors,
bearing interest at the rate of per cent
per annum. These bonds are due and pay
able ten years from the date of their is
sue, the company reserving the privilege
of redeeming them at any time after three
years have expired. The company was
put upon a oividend-paying basis by the
issuance of these bonds and the treasurer
now reports that besides the first divi-
dend of 2 per cent paid last May, the
company, beginning with September 1st,
has ordered a l per cent per month divi-
dend paid. The mill will commence to
grind again almost Immediately.
The following extracts from the report
of the manager will prove of great inter-
est:
During the year fifty-two miles of wa.
terways have been dug, capable of carry
ing in freshet times 100000 gallons of
water per day to the twenty-three stor-
age reservoirs, which hold COG, 100000 gall
Ions of water. During the last few weeks
these bitches and reservoirs have nearly
paid for themselves on account of the
bountiful supply of water they have Sc
cured. This agreeable saving has been
the experience of the plantation during
the last three weeks. Fifteen hundred
acres of the 1901-1902 crop are already
planted. The clearing is virtually finish
ed"
over 10000 tons of sugar can be expected
for the next crop. That crop which will
be taken off next grinding season will
consist of 100 acres of plant cane, 800
acres of long ratoons and 500 acres Of
short ratoons.

a Ban Upon Chinese.

The true purpose of a bill now before
the British Columbia parliament "for
the regulation of the length of hair to
be worn by employees in the metallifer-
Gus and other mines of British Column
bia" is said to be to save the white min
ers from Chinese cheap labor. The
bill provides that the hair shall be
worn short in the hope that the China
men will not be able to overcome the
oriental superstition in favor of the
long queue. A former measure, which
simply excluded the Chinese, was pre-
viously passed by the parliament, but
nulIifed by the home government be-
cause it would tend to irritate a friend
" power.

BoER ARMY EccRNrR1cIr1Es.
In warfare Every Member of the
Army Is in Many Respects
His Own General.

Imagine an army of expert rihemen
and riders, animated by the sentiments
of a hymn and fighting, not in battle
line according to military methods,
but from ambush, after the manner of
the American Indians. Such has been.
and in a large measure still is, the Boer
army. Before it the British have gone
down in shocking defeat, because they
failed to reckon with this invisible
host. British troops in times past have
marched across the South African
plateau and have been unable to locate
the Boer army, says Leslie's Monthly
Sometimes burgher on horseback
would be seen silhouetted in the dis
tance, galloping rapidly or pausing a
moment to scan the plain. Then he
would disappear as if the earth had
swallowed him. Regarding these van
ishing figures as frightened ranchmen
hurrying to escape the invaders, the
English soldiers thought little about
them, and boldly marched forward,
confident in their ability to crush the
disconnected inhabitants.
Suddenly, from behind innumerable
kopjes, or hillocks, a deadly, unerring
fusillade would begin to decimate the
invaders-the fatal accuracy Of the
Boer fire resulting in the destruction or
compelling the capitulation of the enc
my. In such warfare every member OF
a Boer commando is, In many ways, his
own general, fighting without explicit
orders, and finding his own fortress be-
hind some available rock or mound,
and thenceforth maneuvering as his
own military cunning may dictate.
