stock valued at about 100000, imported
from the American and European mar
kets direct, managed by wide-awake,
enterprising American, is in position to
handle double their present business and
defy competition in this part of Maui.
[ have no doubt the. intentions of the
Maui News are excellent, and that II Is
only done in ignorance of the real state
of affairs; still this does not prevent this
boom cry from being misleading and de-
lusive In the extreme, and l hope these
lines will serve as a warning to the un-
fortunate, who through the overheated
ina gination of the Maui News has already
been indulging in sweet day-dreams of a
great boom and rushing business in Wal

THE LowRIE DITCH.

The Advertiser of September II, con-
tains an article which every one should
secure. read and preserve. 1t is an
article which will become historical,
being descriptive of the stupendous
engineering enterprise planned and
brought to a successful issue by w. j.
Iowrie. manager of the II. c. & S. Co.,
for the purpose of bringing the water
of east Maui by means of large canal
to the Spreckelsville plantation. While
the article in question in a series OF
word pictures. paints the wonderful
achievement as II deserves. yet In one
thing the writer fell short of doing full
/ Justice to the subject. No one who was
not intimately associated with Mr.
Lowrie can know the amount Of care
time and painstaking which he bestow-
ed upon his pet project. Not tunnel
not a side ditch, not a minute stream

NO BOOM IN wAILUKU.

II Is very misleading. to say the least,
az the plain fact and naked truth IS that
there IS no boom in Wailuku. never was

There has been no influx OF rangers

lcription beneftting the town and ae peo-

true, that a few new houses have beer
erected, but they are merely some oadiS
needed cottages for old residents OF Wal
lluku. and some buildings to replace th'
ltoru-down Chinese shanties, and it take'
more than a few new houses TO constitute
a boom I should imagine.
There are at present about thirty-tnre

TIE APRICOT CUTTERS.
A Striking Scene I'm CALIFORNIA;
Eruit Valley.

n
Fruit Valley.
There is an upland valley In California
where at a certain season of the year the
bare ground is golden as far as the eye
can sea blaze of yellow and taWny col
or, like that of a vast field of poppies.
But this yellow carpet is composed not
of flowers, but of apricots drying The
valley, which is so high in the mountains
and so bare that almost no dew falls
there, is the focus of the apricot harvest
ers for score of miles about For all
but a few weeks during the year the
place is lonely and quiet Then OF sud-
den small army invades it-a. polyglot
crew Of lahorers, Mexicans, SWedes, chi
nese A village of tents and huts springs
up Flat cars run all day UP and down
the mountain, bringing the ripe apricots.
And these are slid on trays into the long
sheds where the people stand at work
men, women and children, each with a.
tag bearing a number about the neck,
and sharp knife in the hand. A single
turn of this knife by a practical hand
halves the apricot and drop the stone on
the ground, while the fruit falls into
second tray. When this is filled it is slid
out into the open, checked OH to the
workman's credit and set on the ground
to help fill up another of the endless rows.
If it is hot out there where the indigo
sky burns in fierce rivalry of color with
the spreading orange, it is hotter IN the
sheds, and the smell of the apricotS and
of the piles of stones is overpoWeflng.
The workpeople wear as few clothes as
allowed; their necks are bare and their
sleeves rolled to the shoulder. The white,
thick -muscled arm of a Scandinavian la
borer moves in unison with the thin,
swarthy, hairy arm of the Mexican next
him: next is an arm shrunk to- yellow
skin and bone, tattooed, with green
iade bracelet sliding up and down it. 1t
looks scarcely human-in fact, 1t Is the
arm of a Chinaman. There arc perhaps
a dozea "chinks" scattered among the
superior breeds; they work silently, with
lowered eyes and expresSi0rless faces,
effacing themselves as far as possible
They labor here as in the gold fields,
risking their lives daily to, scrape together
a little hoard Of money which is an added
risk; constantly on the watch for a dan
ger which they have no means OF re-
sisting, for the law in that country deals
not with the white man who robs a
s.chink.' or sends q knife into the yellow
man's feeble body. And there are white
and brown desperadoes in the bassy crowd
men who will do anything even work
for a little money. but who much prefer
the easier method Of looting weaker
brother.
There Is scarcely a pause for eating at
midday: work must 60 on while the sun
shines. But at nigh. the apricot cutters
are paid Off fling in lonS lines past the

Charles Sparks Declares More Than
SJ,000,0G0 in Gold and Silver
Are Hidden There.
SECRET TOLD ON DEATHBE0.
Three Men Recently Made a Search
for the Wealth Hidden
Il Quarter of a Cen
fury Ago.

According 10 Charles Sparks. a resident
OF Mahomct Ill. there is something over
$4,000 worth OF treasure buried In St
Louis County. II was buried there over a
quarter of a century ago. and Sparks Is
now taking action To prevent its falling In
to the hands OF those who. he says. have no
claim 10 II.
Mr. Sparks revealed his secret to County
Clerk Henry e. Helmering. When the lat
ter arrived In his office In Clayton yester-
day morning he found a letter from the II
linoisan in which the secret Of the fabulous
subterrane;In cavern was divuiged. The
revelation caused Mr.. Helmering TO open
his eyes in amaZement.
In his letter MIR. Sparks says he has rea-
son to believe tina, there are between seven
teen and eighteen tons Of sold and silver
buried in St Louis County. He said II was
put there at least twenty-five or thirty
years ago. and possibly earlier than that.
by FIVE men. all OF whom are dead. the last
one dying recently. Before his death. says
Sparks. he revealed his secret to Il man
at his bedside and this individual. with two
other men. has recently been digging Tor
the treasure He says they had gotten 10
within ten feet of where II was buried
when they were stopped by the damp
sumo their search for the hidden coin at
any time.
Sparks says he knows where the treasure
is buried but he is a poor man with u large
family. and has not the required amount of
money 10 reach St Louis. However. he
makes no request OF Mr.. H lmering for any
money and his only purpose In writing the
letter, Mr. HelmeTing thinks. Is to prevent
the d!ggers from getting possession OF the
treasure 1t belongs either to the county
or the State" says Mr.. Sparks. in cOnclu-
sion. and these men have 20 right to it
Several weeks ago Walker Hanley, Elmer
Ceraihl and Thomas Fox. three young
Claytoni;es. began digging for reputed hiG-
den treasure near the dividing line OF the
lesson ana F'orsyIhe farms, just west of
Forest Park. Their work was done at night
I'm order TO insure secrecy. but the matter
leaked out and Mr.. lesson STOPPED the
digging Some of the people in Clayton yes
terday were disposed TO think that the Sc
cret Of the dying man, referred to by
Sparks, was divuiged to one OF the three
searcaers. but none Of the trio would dis
cuss II yesterday
In his letter Mr. Sparks intmated that
the greater part of the treasure was in gold
coin. AZ gold is worth $4,000 a ton, II can
be readily seen that the treasure. il
covered. would make the finder multi
