AT OAHU SUGAR COMPANY
PoId's Island Added to Lands
Of Plantation.
II Peninsula Another Acquisition -Wells Being
Bored and japanese al WoIk-SXty
Acres Already Planted.

People who went down the road on
Sunday last were surprised to note the
improvements made in connection with
the Oahu Sugar Co. during the quaran-
tine. Manager Ahrens is branching
out in directions that are bound to re-
suit most advantageously to the plan
tation.
1t will be remembered that short
time since, long lease of Ford's ISL
and and the II peninsula was obtained
from the Ii Estate.
The trees have been entirely cleared
from the former place and now, where
the only activity was the hight of birds
to and fro, steam plows and Japanese
laborers are to be seen hard at work.
Sixty acres of cane were planted dur
ing the quarantine, couple of months
ago and this is now doing as well as
the cane on the plantation proper
which, as everyone knows, is the best
that can be found anywhere.
Two steam plows are now busily en-
gagged in the work of preparing more
land for the planting Of cane. At a
rough estimate, 1t Is calculated that
the plantation will be able to get near
ly six hundred acres of hne cane land
out of the island.
For irrigation purposes, two wells
with excellent flows have already been
sunk and another is now boring.
On the island is a camp of seventy
Japanese under hustling lunas who
are rapidly Transforming the place into
vast canefield. Sixty mules have also
been placed on the island.
On the Ii peninsula is camp Of $50
japanese, doing the same work as
those on Ford's Island. Here also a
vast number of trees have been cut
down and the land turned into cane
fields. Wells are now being sunk on
the new addition.
Heretofore the waste water from the
mill has been running into the sea but
| now Il will be turned ON the peninsula
carefields. thus saving good deal t.
the plantation. AS the land is one
great level stretch, no pumping will be
necessary and fluming win be thing
very easily accomplished.
It is estimated that something in the
neighborhood of 5000 cords of wool
have been obtained from the algeroba
trees cleared away from Fords Island
and the II peninsula.

favorable, Of banding together those

civil government bill, the provisions
relating to the right of franchise and
Imprisonment for debt having been
amended to conform to the ideas of the
Senate.

principal changes made by the last
Congress were the striking out OF all
provisions requiring the payment OF
axes before registration to vote. ana
he elimination Of the provision that Il
oerson may be imprisoned for debt or
Tor non-payment of taxes.
If the conference report Is adopted "

and in auaition, there will be no i'm
prisonment for debt"

lone with the provision requiring the

Taking Over the Debt.

Washington, April 30.--When Ha-
wall was annexed to this country 1t
had bonded debt Of about $4,000, 900
drawing heavy rate Of interest. This
debt still exists, but under the Act
signed by the President today 1t Is 10
be assumed by the United States.
Secretary Gage does not intend that 1t
shall be added to the bonded debt OF
the United States If 1t can be paid i'm
mediately. The terms OF the debt Will
be looked into and II they permit pay
ment at any time the debt will be WHIP
ed out as soon as the law goes into
effect, In forty-five days.
Secretary Gage will soon send to Ha-
wall money and treasury agents to ex-
cnange the Hawaiian for American
currency. The exchange will be made
as in Porto Rico. 1t Is understood that
there is 100000 in minor coins N

ed for currency of this country.

Washington, April 2S.-In anticipa-
ton Of the final enactment of the Ha-
waiian government bill, the President
is devoting some attention to the selec-
ton of the various officials Of the new
government who are subject to execu-
tive appointment. 1t Is the intention
to make these appointments very soon
in order that there may be no delay
in the Inauguration of the new govern
ment and to secure speedy relief from
the embarrassment Of the present an
umaiuLs conaitiOn Of affairs. The Ha-
waiian contingent in Washington has
not been behind hand in suggesting
suitable material to the President TO
his consideration in this contention.
Particularly in the case of the Cover
norship have there been urgent repre-.
sensations. There are no less thar
four candidates in the fieId.
The name of President Dole leads
the list, Harold Sewall, late Minister e,
Honolulu and now United States Agent
in the Islands, is making formidable
canvass, backed by the Maine do'e"1
lIon, and there are two persons OF Ha-
waiian birth prominent In the aIal. :
of the island, whose names are also
under consideration. There is ground
for the belief that of all these candt'
dates, President Dole Is looked unon
most favorably, the President inclininf
to the view that by making such an ap'
pointment he would not only recogniz,
the principle of home rule, but also
would make suitable recognition Of tn
long-continued and executive efforts OF

BEYOND DIAMOND HEAD
Minister Young Discusses Advantages
Of the Two Roads.
Zine Mar The Beach Much Preferable Upper
Road Will Rtq lire Extravasaut Expsndl
lure 10 Complete Sound Reasoning.

Minister Alexander Young speaking
of the new Diamond Head road this
morning said: 81, Of course, recon-
mend the beach road. One reason for
this Is that the country over which the
upper road runs would make 1t expen-
sive and even dangerous in some
places. The angle Of the natural slope
Is, In some places, as great as As de-
grees; consequently to make road
even 40 feet wide on the solid ground
would require a cut on one side 40 feet
deep. From this great height over
hanging the road material would be
constantly detaching itself and falling
upon the roadway. Again, the fllli, as
we'll as the cuts, will be very deep in
some places and will require great
masses Of material to fill up with, mas
much as the slope of the fills will have
to take the limited angle of resistance.
This would probably be about 80 de-
grees from the horizontal line.
Nov that the upper road wIIl be the
best from the scenic standpoint there
can be no question. But ON the beach
road, which would probably be in most
places ten or twelve feet above high
tide, n person can see far enough sea-
ward for all practical purposes. The
upper road would simply extend the
horizon little farther. The construc-
ton of the lower road will be moder-
ate in cost and can be made Of per-
manent nature, without fear of distur-
bance by the sea. Again, when Dia-
mond Head has been rounded, the road
will lead through a tract of valuable
land, from which branches may lead
towards the seashore and towards the
hill slope. passing through Govern
ment land and joining one Of the roads
through the Gear, Lansing & Co.'s tract
on the Kapahulu road near the Kapio-
iani Park. The main road will pro-
coed over an even country most OF 1t
good land, where artesian wells could
he easily sunk, thence joining Paul
Isenberg's new road which runs into
the Waialae road. Thence the return
could be made by the Waialae road to
either the Kapahulu road or Beretania
street.
III the upper road Is swung around
on the line laid out by Mr.. Bruner, no:
only will b large sum need to be spent
for construction, but the road will not
open up the territory necessary in that
locality. Therefore strongly recon-
mend the beach road. l have no per-
eonal interest in the matter, but have
reached this conclusion after carefully
going over the ground"
