nearly completed While the main de-
pendence for the transportation of cane
to the mill from below the 1S-nile level
will be by hume, at the same time, in
case of drought, some reliance will be
placed upon rail. The Hilo railroad is
rap dly being extended through the
lands. AS factor in the development
of the lands above the flume, both be-
longing to the company and private per-
sons, the value of the railroad will be
great. The company has entered into q
contract to supply the Hilo railroad with
$1,000 ties, which are being made from
the wood cleared off the plantation lands.
Owing to the advance in wages, says
the manager, considerable uneasiness
has existed amongst the laborers, but
the plantation has not in any way suf-
fered. The general number of laborers
since the cancellation of contracts has
kept about the same as before. AL
though some uneasiness existed among
the contractors owing to the phenomenal
figures reported being offered in some
directions for labor, the manager be-
lieves the agitation has ceased, and the
labor become satisfied as to the value of
these contracts as yielding a fair wage
rate as well as assuring permanent en-
ployment. The number of people in ev-
cry class employed on the plantation is
1850.
The crop of 1901 will be taken off g.
941.17 acres, and in addition to the area
planted by the company there will be
approximately 1000 acres planted by out
siderS' ground with the first crop in
Guiding about $50 acres belonging to the
Puma plantation, giving a total crop Of
approximately 5000 acres. There is an
expectation of a production Of about six
to six and one-half tons per acre, and
in some cases as high as eight. The
manager considers 1t safe to estimate a
minimum of five tons Of sugar to the
acre or about $4,000 tons.
The 1902 crop will be taken off a total
of 1850 acres. Outside contractors are
expected to swell this area to 5000
acres. The plantation railroad will be
about ten miles in length and will not be
required before 1902. A locomotive and
all the rolling stock necessary is already
on hand to commence operations. The
climatic condition of Olaa is spoken of
favorably, and no great demand for the
services of the physician has been made.

The dealers Of central and western
Kansas say that wheat is coming tt

KANSAS GAME LAWS.
Sportsmen Should Beware Of Killing
Quail Too Soon.

Kansas sportsmen are likely to have
all sorts OF trouble this winter II they
are not careful. In the first place the
new game law does not allow them to
kill quail at all except during Deem
Der. Then they must have the per-
mission Of the owner OF the land be.
fore they can hunt quail, and II the
birds fly over to another mans farm,
they must get the second mans per-
mission before they can follow them.
II the quail are in the road the hunter
must secure the permission Of the
man who owns the adjoining land be-
fore be can kill them.
Even farmer can kill quail only
during December, and he also must
not follow them to his neighbor's
farm without his neighbours permits
sion.
Under no conditions can game be
shipped out OF the state. Both state
and federal laws prohibit ii.
Migratory wild fowl may be killed
at any time. 1t is not considered
that they are Of any special value
except as game birds, and they breed
in such great numbers in the north
that there is no danger Of their ex.
tinclion.
