A BUILDING BOOM.
So Much Going on in MankatO That
Labor is Scarce.

Labor is Scarce.
Mankato is enjoying quite build
ing boom this spring. North Front
street is getting the best of it as re-
CARDS new store buildings, but Jack
son street will get the finest of the
year. New residences are going up in
all parts of the city, and many of the
older houses are undergoing extensive
repairs and improvements. The finest
residence is that of Attorney A. o.
Eberhart on Clark street, which will
not cost less than So, 900. 1t is being
finished throughout in red oak, with
maple flooring, and carload of hard
wood is being used. The house is to
be an elegant one when completed.
With all the building that is going
on, labor is very scarce. Hardly enough
men can be obtained to work on A. R.
EkePs building on Jackson street, and
contractors are complaining of the
lack of help. One firm states that it
has taken all the work that it can
handle during the entire season.
The cost of building is now at the
top notch reached in recent years, and
the fact that so much is being done
speaks we'll for the prosperity which
this city is enjoying in common with
the rest of the country. People are
bound to have more convent ences, no
matter what they cost. Not very much
building has been done for several
years, and people who have been wait
ing for lower prices find that they can
wait no longer. AS long as the general
prosperity continues, prices will prob

GET ACQUAINTED.

The more people you know the
greater your chance Of finding
useful friends among them. IL is
silly to say you DO not care what
others do or think about you, for
you may want help or advice any
day. The same principle obtains
as to labor-saving conveniences.
1t is much better to get a light
by pressing a button at your bed
side than to rise, strike q match
and set the gas going. The more
things you know how to do, the
more thoroughly safe-guarded
you are in emergencies and times
of trouble. 1t is ignorance along
these lines which induces loss
of time, money and health. cob,
if l had only known of it in

of multitudes who find themselves
in the grasp Of some disease from
which a certain remedy might
have delivered them. Now, in

! Dor, however, throughout the group the
standard of wages paid has been forced

I'VE had the same conditions in 1885
and 1890 at the time the Eva and Ma.
kaweli plantations were started and a
great and rapid development of plan
tations all through the Islands.
| Wages are higher now than at any
time since 1890 and for cutting and
loading cane we are now paying about
so per cent more than for the same
work two years ago"

NAkANELTS PAST YEAR
a CROP or FIFTEEN THOUSAND
TONS.
Labor Troubles Did Not Prevent
Planting the Usual Acreage-No DIFF
fculty Expected This Year.

The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Sugar Company, of Maxwell, Kauai
was held this afternoon at the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce.
The report of President H. Z. Bald
win contained the following:
The past year was not so good a
year for the growing crops as the year
1893, owing to dry weather on the plan
tatiOn and in the mountains at the head
of our water supply the greater part of
the summer. In consequence of this,
the crop we are now milling will fan a
little short of the estimate we made in
the annual report for 1899.
our estimate made at that time,
conditional on good growing weather
for the crop we are now grinding was:
Tons.
Hawaiian Sugar co. cane ........13.9OO
Gay & Robinson cane ........... $500
16.4OO
The crop will probably turn out as
follows:
Tons
Hawaiian Sugar Co. cane .......18, 665
Gay & Robinson cane (already
taken Off Observation-Disclosures. LOO
1886
For the crop of 19O1-19O2:
Hawaiian Sugar Co cane plant ,O75
Hawaiian Sugar Co. cane ratoons 100
We may cultivate POO acres more
of ratoons, making total ratoons 800
II have not obtained the acreage now
under cultivation by Gay & Robinson.
so will not be able to make full esti-
mate for the crop of 1909.
Notwithstanding the labor troubles
on the plantations generally, the Ma
kaweli plantation has got along very
well. The usual acreage of cane was
planted in good time last year, and
the crop looks well.
THE sugar factory is being run full
time and we are turning out sugar as
fast as we did in 1899.
I'VE anticipate no special difficulty
about planting the usual amount of
cane this year, or in being able to
keep up most of the work on the plan
tatiOn.
THE agreement with Messrs. Gay
e Robinson for several hundred acres
of new land and for taking out the Ma
kaweli stream at a higher elevation so
as to cover this land, will, I think. soon
be settled. After the agreement is
| finally consummated ii is our PROPOSE
ton to ask for bids for constructing the
acqueduct."

THE MEN FROM HAWAII WILL NOT TAKE PROFIT.
A FORTUNE MADE ON WALL
STREET.
Refused by a Philadelphia Woman af-
ter She Read About Breaking the
Shorts in the Panic.

NEW YORK, May 16.--Although the
excitement over the cornering of Nor
thern Pacific has died down, the stories
of fortunes that might have been"
keep coming from all parts of the
United States. one of the most re-
markablc of all tales comes from Phi
ladelphia. A woman over there owned
200 shares of stock bought years ago
away below par. The stock was loca-
ted by somebody in New York and the
morning of the panic she was advised
to sell and realized a handsome pro-
fit. The stock was sold at 5000 and the
woman received a check for 100000.
The transaction represented a profit
of considerably more than 100000.
Between the time she authorized the
sale of the stock and the time she re-
CeiVed the check the woman read about
the panic and corner and the. great
losses they had caused. Her conscience
got to work, and she concluded that the
croft she had received might have
come from somebody whose fortune
had been wrecked. She refused to ac-
cept the check. Her broker still has
the check and is at a loss at present
to know just how the trouble which
the womans conscience has occasioned
can he adjusted.

A PRIEST IN POLICE COURT
FATHER VALENTINE APPEARS
AS WITNESS.
Had Given Order to Frank Ferreira
Trouble Last Saturday.

Father Valentine was in the police
court this morning. He appeared as a
witness in the case of assault and bat
terry against Hack Inspector Frank
Ferreira who was accused of striking
Mrs. Mary Dias. The trouble occurred
at the Feast of the Holy Ghost last
Saturday night.
According to the statements of Mrs.
Dias, she, her mother, and her chill
dren were waiting on a bench in the
Cathedral grounds for her husband who
was busy elsewhere with the entertain
ment committee. 1t was 11:30 p. m.
Saturday and they were waiting for
him to go home with them. Ferreira
came up and roughly shook one of the
children and told the women that he
had orders from Father Valentine to
send them out of the yard as 1t was
time they were all at home Das came
up and ordered Ferreira to stop as the
crowd were his, Dias family. Ferreira
said that Father Valentine wanted
them out of the yard. They We're not
satisfied with this and called on the
priest who said that such had been the
orders.
Ferreira then showed Dias aside and
when the latter started to resist Ferret
ra drew a club and threatened to break
Dias head if he interefered with the
officers Mrs Dias stated that she
went toward Ferreira and said she
would fix him if he broke her husband 8
head. Ferreira, she claimed then SHOW
ed her back very violently. Bystanders
prevented her husband and the officer
from coming to blows.
Father Valentine testified to having
ordered Ferreira to clear the people
out by midnight. He had heard some
disturbance but owing to his being in
the second story window did not see the
details of the fuss. Several other wit
nesses were examined for both sides
and the court discharged the defen-
dant.
