The First Local Mint.

One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention of
tourists as we'll as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall. 1t lis interesting to
enter the large main working room,
where general manager McDonongh
and his corps of assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is a
proper resting place and the vaults,
where the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present very tasty
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$50 \. m. to 1l:30 p. m. and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place
will find first class refreshments and

A Marrow Esca pc.

Yesterday one Of the mule cars
was waiting at the switch near the
Asylum road. A trolley car came
along going in the same direction
and the mules got scared and ran
away, the two cars being neck to
neck. From the other direction
came gentleman in buggy. The
road is too narrow to allow a car
riage to pass 10th tracks, and his
horse seeing the two cars coming
got scared and the driver thought
his or d has come when he succeeded

We cannot possible believe, that the

1t is immaterial to uswhether the
license is revoked or not. If it is,
it will mean a law suit, and we hardly
think the Treasurer would go back
on his own action, if it is not, it will
mean that the boys will no longer
pstronize the swipe shops, will havs
to go without beer, and no longer

MONDAY, NOV. 25, 1901.
A FOOLISH POLICY.

We we're aware that there is a
kick coming by the trustees of the
Kamehameha Schools against the
establishment OF beer saloon in
the vicinity OF ths schools, and we
notice the kick has taken the form
of petition to the Treasurer, pray.
ing that said license be revoked.
The petition reads:
To the Honorabls Treasurer, Of
the Territory OF Hawaii:
We, the teachers, students, pa.
irons and friends OF theS Kamehas
meha Schools, instituted aud en-
dowed by the benefcence of Mrs.
Bernice Pauahi Bishop for the edu-
cation and elevation of the Ha-
waiian psople, do most earnestly
petition and pray that you will give
these schools your potential pro.
lection by refusing any license for
the sale or distribution OF beer.
wine, spirits, or other alcoholic
beverage, within the limit of at
least one. half mile, the usual limit
is much longer, of the. said school
grounds. And we further pray that
you will at the earliest possibility
revoke or cancel the license of the
"Star Saloon" 30 unfortunately
located in the building adjacent to
the grounds OF the said school,"
That the pupils and teachers na-
turally signed the petition, goes
without saying. The pupils will
shortly be called upon to dig up for
the Mckinley monument, and they
will have to respond in cash Of
course. AS 10 the saloon we, who
have considerable experience in re-
gard to the schools, will say that
the Treasurer and High Sheriff did
the very best thing in the interest
of the schools, aud did it after
mature consideration. Are the
trustees aware OF the fact, that the
vicinity of the schools was crowded
with swipe sellers, and that the
boys got all the "booze" they
wantedi Are the trustees aware of
the fact. that the beer saloon has
driven all illicit liquor sellers from
the place, and do they understand
that the owner OF the beer saloon
might lose his liccnse, il he sold a
single glass of beer to minor7
There were no strings on the illicit
swipe sellers. They would sell beer
to six years old boy. But the Ii
censed saloonkeerer is under the
control of the law, and,
if he should do it, he does it at his
peril of heiug punished aud his
business ruined. AThat was the
reason the authorities granted the
license. The High Sheriff 10 pretty

Incredible as it may seem, in view
Of our large annual expectation of
wheat to Europe and other countries
macaron manufacturers of PennsylVa-
mia and New York are obliged to i'm
port great proportion of the wheat
used by Giem in the manufacture OF
macaroui and vermiceli. Hundreds of
thousands of bushels of wheat are an
nually imported by the macaroni man
ufaeturers, for which they are obliged
to pay a higher price per bushel than
American wheat brings abroad. Even
with the wheat brought from abroad
the manufacturers in the United States
are compelled TO use a large quantity
of bread wheat for making macaroni,
and it is this use OF the ordinary bread
wheat that makes the American maca-
ronl of inferior quality to that made in
southern France and Italy. In addition
to the macaroni made in this country
we annually import more than 10000 o0
pounds. Prof Carleton believes thar
If the farmers of the western states will
turn their attention to the cultivation
OF macaroni wheat we can raise not on
ly all that is required in this country,
but that we will have a large surplus
for export, and that the wheat will find
an extensive market as a bread wheat
Prof. Carleton is now preparing
bulletin dealing with the growth OF
macaroni wheat in the United States
which viii be of interest to wheat grow
ers in this country. Mr.. Carleton
states that macaroni wheat can be
grown with great profit in many of the
western states, especially Kansas and
other southwestern states. It is one Of
the best drouth-resisting wheats known
and can be grown in localities where
the rainfall does not exceed ten inches
annually For this reason it should
prove especially valuable in western
Kansas Experiments already made in
Texas have been very encouraging, and
one enthusiastic Texan writes that he
believes the growth OF macaroni WheaI
in Texas viii equal in profit that of the
cotton crop. The value of the latter
has been said to be worth $45 per head
for every man, woman, and child in the
state.
Another great advantage Of the mac
aroni wheat is its producing quality. IN
a number of instances the macaroni
wheats when grown in the same locality
with the ordinary bread wheats In the
states Of the Great Plain have given, in
seasons OF unusual drouth. a yield two
to four times as great as that of ordi-
nary wheats. In one section of South
Dakota where the ordinary wheat
yielded II to Il bushels to the acre, the
macaroni wheat produced from so to
so bushels 1t is a very rank grower
and grows to a great height. Prof.
Carleton declares that If the farmers

ton the wheat output of the United
States viii be increased more than So
100000 bushels per annum in a very few
years.
With the object Of encouraging the
growth of the wheat, the department of
agriculture has instructed its agricul-
turaI explorer. Prof. David G. Fair
child, also a Kansas man, who is now
travelling in Algeria, to procure several
hundred bushels of the Algerian maca-
roni wheat, which viii be shipped to
the department and distributed in the
arid and semi arid regions of the west.
The distribution viii be made under the
direction of Prof. Carleton who is very
enthusiastic as to the prospects of good
results from the efforts to stimulate in
terest in its cultivation.
At present the necessity for importing
the macarOni wheat is chiefly due to the
hesitancy of American millerS to grind
the wheat into flour. Many of the
macarcni manufacturers have establish
ed plants and grind their own wheat
The wheat is a very hard. almost flint
like grain, and special machinery is
required for grinding it. The millers are
now beginning TO take an interest in
the macarOni wheat and before long IL
is expected that several large -four mills
will establish plants for grinding the
wheat. Macaroni manufacturers in
difficulty in procuring a sufficient guam
tity Of the wheat for their requirements,
and a very extensive market abroad
could be found if the wheat IS produced
in this country.
Not only is the wheat a valuable ar
ticle for the manufacture of macarOni,
but Prof. Carleton believes that it will
