Hawaiian Sugar Output

The amount of the sugar crop raised
on the Islands from October 1, 1900, to
September 80 1901. as given by the
secretary of the Planters Association,
amounts to the enormous sum, reck-
oned in round numbers, of 40, 600 600
pounds which, at 4 cents per pound,
will realize SIS, SOC. 600. At least half of
this should be net dividends. There are
ffty-six plantations on the Islands, the
three largest of which each produces
over 10000 tons of sugar, Eva planta-
ton leading with $4,000 tons If labor
can be procured three or four planta-
tions will reach the 40,O00-ton mark
within two years from now. The Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Compa-

destined to be the banner sugar plan

Adventure of Man
In a Capsized
Boat.
NEW MANAGER
FOR KIHEl ESTATE
Land Commissioner Boyd to
Make a Circuit of the
Island of Maui.

on last Monday morning a South Sea
Islander named Tagnimate. a resident
of the South Sea Island colony at La
haina went out alone il 4 sail boat,
fishing. During the afternoon while off
the Island of Lanai sudden squat
capsized his boat With difficulty he
righted his boat, but found himself
without oars, sail or mast. A strong
current was running and by midnight
he was near the coast IF Kahoolawe.
A counter current then caught the boat
and by : o'clock on Tuesday morning
had brought it back to point opposite
Lau- niu-poko on the Maui coast, near
Olowalu.
From this point Tagnimate thought
of either swimming ashore, or swim
ming and pushing his boat to the
beach, but the appearance of a number
of sharks in the vicinity made the plan
too risky. In the meantime his friends
in the South Sea Island village had be-
come alarmed at his non return, and
word was sent along the Maui coast
to look out for the missing man. Short
ly after daylight on Tuesday morning
an OlowaIu fisherman saw the boat
adrift far out at sea, and put off in
his canoe Tagnimate's sail boat was
taken in tow and carried back to the
village, where he was received with
great demonstra tions of joy by the ex-
cited villagers.-M News.

Butte, Mont, April 22-Friction
in hot box over the generators near

smelter, started fire about O'Clock

of $75, 900 to the plant and will delay

inc the smelter almost total wreck.
The new machinery is uninjured and
the blast furnaces and converters are
not materially damaged. The efforts
of the city fire department and the
fire brigade of the Butte & Boston
Company saved the plant, which is
valued at over 81, 900, 900. from total
destruction. AS soon as the flames
were under control the men employed
signed paper passed around by one
of their number agreeing to contrib.
ute weeks work free to clear up the

The second fireman has not yet been
accounted for, and it is believed he,
too, is buried under his engine None
of the bodies has been recovered.
The passenger train left Ward for
Boulder drawn by two engines. When
the train reached Bonneville the en-
gines were uncoupled and started up
the hill to buck the snow, which was
deep upon the tracks. There is a
sharp curve near the apex of the
mountain, and just as the engines
started to plow through huge snow
drift a vast avalanche of snow and
earth was loosened from above. 1t
came down with terrific force and
gained momentum every second. 1t is
said that the train, which was quite
heavily loaded with passengers, was
not touched by the slide.

DAM GAVE WAY.



Chester, Mass, April %. - The
Flood Hollow dam, in Middlefield,
gave way about 6 o'clock last night,
letting loose the water in the big
reservoir, which rushed with terrific
force into the west branch of the
Westfeld river, sweeping everything
before it and submerging the greater
part of this town. No lives were lost
but great damage has been done, the
extent of which it is impossible now
to estimate. The dam was built in
1874, to take the place of the one
which was destroyed by the flood OF
the year before. 1t was poorly con-
structed of stone and timber, and
had been a constant menace to the
town of Chester. The heavy rains
oyerfiowed the reservoir and the dam
showed signs of weakening early in
the morning. Orders were given to
inspect the dam: The result was
that word was sent to the people be-
low that the dam was almost certain
to 90 out, and the families in the low
lands got what things they could to-
gether and made for places OF safety.
They were none too soon, for the dam
broke, and with a deafening roar, a
torrent of water was let loose into
Flood Hollow, which empties into
Westfield river. The huge timbers OF
the dam we're hurled into the foaming
current, and went in one great crash
ing mass toward Chester. quartz
mills at Flood Hollow, barns and out
buildings were swept along in the tor
rent. At Bancroft the Boston q Al
bany stone bridge was carried away,
together with 600 feet of track. It
will probably be two days before
trains are running.
Chester presents q desolate sight.
The electric light station is sub
merged, and the town is in total dark
