WATER SUPPLY.

Upon arrival at iiiio we frst went to
tho land back Of llilo. near Kaumana,
and examined the water supply which
has been obtained by the Olaa Sugar
Company for the use OF It's plantation. We
found supply ~ water the quantity OF
which was estimated TO be flow OF not
less than 100000 gallons every twenty
four hours. This flow Of water is az an
elevation OF about 1900 feet above sea lev
al and is pure mountain water gushing
from subterrauean passages on the slope
leading to Mauna Loa. There seems good
reason 30 believe that the volume Of wa
ter thus far obtained does not represent
all Of the water which may be available.
This water supply is at sufficient eleva-
ton to bc conveyed by fumes to the Olaa
plantation and will furnish an abundant
supply for purposes of fuming cane to
the mill and for all mill and domestic
purposes of the company.
This water supply Is held by the COM
pany under a forty-year lease and there
Is an abundant supply for the necessary
uses of the plantation.
Besides this large supply at Kaumana.
other water has also been developed upon
the land of the plantation at Olaa.
We next went to the plantation and
examined thoroughly the lands which are
owned by the company, the fields which
have been cleared and planted, the work
which was being carried on for the devel-
orment of the plantation, and the cree
tiCr of the sugar works.

WILLIAM o. SMITH
DIR. MAXWELL'S REPORT.

The following report is from DR.. Wal
ter Maxwell, director of the local expert
r,ent station:
Honolulu, II. l., August 81, 1900.
Nessrs. Alexander Il Baldwin, Honolulu.
Gentlemen: During a recent visit of in
spoction upon the Island of Hawaii
went over afresh most of the lands of the
Olaa Sugar Company, my object being to
observe how far the statements made in
my report of eighteen months ago, upon
the areas and soils of the estate, are be-
ing confirmed by the present showing of
the growing cane.
The advices given eighteen months ago
concerning the lands that should be first
taken in hand and planted have been I'M
equivocally justified.
As TO the statements respecting the
fertility of the soils, and their fitness for
sugar production, these are amply proven
by the present appearance of the young
cane, The earlier paintings upon the
keaau lands show some of the best cane
| have seen this year anywhere.
or course you win appreciate my inter-
est In seeing confirmed all said upon the
nature and producing power of the soils
OF the said estate.
| am, gentlemen, yours very truly,

YOUNG WALDORF ASTOR.
The Court Decides he is an American
Citizen.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Surrogate
Thomas has appointed Waldorf Astor,
the young son of William Waldorf As
tor who has only recently attained his
majority, an executor of the will of the
original John Jacob Astor.
The will under which the young man
is thus made an executor, was made
about fifty years one of its provisions
is that whenever the surviving eXecu-
tors shall number no more than two, by
death or otherwise, those two shall
have the power of naming. with the
sanction of the courts, third executor.
About two months ago William Wal
Gorf Astor and Charles Peabody, Jr.,
went before Surrogate Thomas and
stated that they We're the only surViv-
ing executors of the will and that they
wished Waldorf Astor to be named as
a Co-eNecutor. At the time the question
Of young sAstor's place of residence and
citizenship was raised. His father some
time ago foresWore allegiance to the
United States and became a subject of
the Queen of England, This matter
was arranged by Mr., Peabody making
an affidavit in which he alleged that
the young man was born in the United
States and that he had never taken any
steps to forswear allegiance to this
country and that therefore he was a
citizen and eligible to the position as
executor. on the strength of this atIi-
davit the appointment was made Sur
rogate Thomas thereby virtually decid-
Ing that Waldorf Aston is a citizen of
this country even though his father is
not and that he has been educated
abroad and spent the greater number of
years of his life in England.

CONSTITUTION
AND THE FLAG
Judge A. S. HartweII Shows the
FaIlacy of the Contention That
the Former Follows the Latter.

/ ton of construction and like all such
questions the object is to ascertain the
expressed purpose and intention of the
original instrument from the words
used in the instrument itself. If Q
writing expresses its object clearly
there Is nothing to 'construe.' For In.
stance, If the resolution had declared
that the Constitution shall have the
same force and effect in Hawaii as else
where in the United States there
would be no uncertainty.
MEANING OF TRAINERS.
| rs there any difference between that
| form of expression and the words used
ii2 he resolution, that all laws not con-
trary to the Constitution shall remain
in force?
Does this latter expression mean
that not only all laws shall remain
which are not contrary to the Consti-
tuition, but that no laws shall remain
which are contrary to the Constitution?
IF this was meant why was it not
so expressed?
rs there any difference between say
ing that the Constitution is in effect,
and that no laws against it shall exist?
Again, looking at the body of the res
olution and conditions existing at its
date to ascertain what its trainers
meant, it is clear that in keeping intact
the Hawaiian customs laws the reso-
luton is at variance with the Consti-
tuition, and therefore did not undertake
to extend the Constitution as a whole
to Hawaii. 1t must have been expected
that considerable time would elapse, as
proved to be the case, before the COM
missioners appointed by the President
could prepare a bill for the government
of the Territory of Hawaii. 1t was pub
lie knowledge that Hawaii had a sys-
TEN of laws largely framed on those Of
the United States and state systems.
Did Congress expect that none of those
laws should be enforced If they were at
variance with the United States Con-
stitution and If they were not to remain
or be enforced, how did Congress ex-
pect them to be replaced during the
time when it should furnish no United
States enactments?
RESOLUTION THE GUIDE.
THE Newlands resolution took effect
under the general law from the date of
it's approval. From that date until the
formal ceremonies in Hawaii on August
II following the law in Hawaii was
precisely the same as it was after
August IL. All acts of the Courts, or
Executive, or Legislative department
of the Republic of Hawaii not in con-
formity with the requirements of the
NewlandS resolution between July
I and August u, We're precisely as in
valid as any framed after the latter
date.
! Il do not wish to offer conclusions of
my own at the present time upon the
, questions involved in the consideration
of the Newlands resolution, for they are
fair subjects for discussion in court.
ION the question of the extension of
the Constitution all by itself wherever
the United States owns any real estate,
" have not been able to entertain any
doubt, nor have l had any since as a
boy l read the debates of the United
States Senate on that subject, partici-
pated in by the strong men from the
North and the South"

DILLINGHAM; SECURES IT
Reports on the Company's Status
Made by W. W. GoodaIe and
w. 0. Smith.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The Olaa Sugar Company authorized
the issuing of bonds some weeks ago
for the purpose of developing the plan
tation without calling assessments as
| rapidly as would have to be done If as
sessments alone were depended upon.
b. f. Dillingham; was authorized by
the company to negotiate the placing
of these bonds and has been in San
Francisco for some time past for this
purpose.
The agency agreement with Alexan-
der & Baldwin did not oblge them to
make advances until the first crop be.
gan to come off. They did not wish to
take the bonds themselves but offered
to release or assign their agency agree
ment If the company could thereby
make financial arrangements otherwise
not attainable.
Finding that control of the agency
was material factor in obtaining the
financial assistance desired Alexander
& Baldwins offer was accepted and the
agency will be taken over by b. F. Dill
bingham as to the Honolulu business,
and by one of the leading agency firms
of San Francisco as to business at that
end of the line. The transfer will prob
ably be made some time next month.
MONEY FOR ALL EXPENSES.
Meanwhile Mr.. Dillingham; has Sc
cured money enough to meet all of the
developing and running expenses of the
plantation for the next six or eight
months without calling in any more as
sessments during that time. BY that
time it is believed that the local finan-
cial situation will have been relieved to
such an extent that stockholders will
have no difficulty in meeting assess
mentS.
For the purpose of presenting au-
thoritative information concerning the
present status of the plantation to in
tending bond purchasers the directors
of the company recently requested w.
w. Goodale, formerly manager of the
Onomea plantation, and now manager
of Waialua plantation, and w. O..
Smith, who is an old plantation mana
ger, to visit and report upon the plan
tation, which they did.

| To the President and Directors of the
Olaa Sugar Company, Limited, Ho
| nolulu.
| Dear Sirs: Your letter of July 24tf
requesting me to visit the Olaa panta
ton and report to you on the merits OF
the place, and its value as a business en-
terprise, was duly received. In reply ]
would say that in response to your re-
quest l went to Oaa and spent three
days on the premises. During that time
| l inspected the sources of the proposed
water supply, the mill site, the fields at
low, intermediate and high levels, and
saw the development of your estate in all
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES upon the mill foun-
dations clearing the land, blowing and
planting.
WATER SUPPLY.
Development of the underground
streams shows that there is a large quan-
tity of water. The water in sight on the
day of my visit Is ample for mill and camp
purposes, and from all indications and
from data given me by your manager and
your civil engineer it is my opinion that
abundant water can be developed for
filming cane to the mill from fields be-
low the l,SO0-foot level, if the contour of
the country will allow sufficient grade
and the fumes are properly constructed.
Your estate is large one, and the dis
tHnces great, and from experience in
say that combination of the two sys-
TENS tiuming and railroad, would be
necessary.
The soil in all parts of the estate has
every indication of depth and great fer
tlity. The fields are large and appar-
entity of even quality.
AS TO THE CANE.
l visited cane fields of different stages
of growth, cane just planted, just coming
through the ground, and fields of from
six months to one years growth. In all
the fields I found the cane well cared for
and the growth strong and healthy.
Fields at n low elevation, from $50 to
500 feet, both young plant and rattoous,
and cane six months to one year old,
showed rapid growth. and considering
the late planting and poor seed, the older
fields are remarkably even and have
stooled out well. y field of about 500
ceres of young plant at Mountain View,
at an elevation of 1900 feet, and n small
field of cane about one year old In the
same locality, showed plainly that there
has been nothing unfavorahle I'm the eli
mate, either cold or excessive rainfall, at
that elevation during the past year.
MUCH WORK DONE.
During the short time that has passed
since the incorporation of your company
a large amount of work has been accom-
plished in all departments From my eN-
ptrience of the sugar business, and par
ticularly from that acquired during thir-
teen years residence in the IIilo district,
and from knowledge gained of the Olaa
lands, l would say that l
consider the property n valuable one for
a sugar plantation, the area of land suit
able for cane very great. the soil of good
average depth and great fertility, the eli
mate favorable, and the growth of cane
most encouraging.
Respectfully submitted,
VIM w. GOODALE

CONCLUSION

With sufficient means for the proper de-
volopment of the place and with sufficient
labor to carry on the work, this planta-
ton promises to become one of the larg-
est and most profitable on these Islands.
The labor problem is one which is COM
mon to all of the agricultural industries
of the Islands, but Olaa is possessed of
advantages over many other of the plan
tations The climate and other condi-
tions are such that laborers seek this To-
cality when they will avoid certain other
places. Moreover, the letting of land to
be cultivated under contract which can
be done better here than upon plantations
where the successful production of sugar
depends upon irrigation. is a matter of
Importance. The plan being followed by
the company in encouraging parties to so
cultivate under contract is one which will
tend to avoid labor difficulties.

showed that ten hours lis excessive,
and that the short work day had
come, and come ostay, and not a

return to ten hours.
"Thc eisht-hour workdsy is but
