Of streets, made their report, which pre-
cipitated heated discussion between
the members of the committee and
several old citizeus who were present.
Councilman Stewart strongly objected
to the changes as recommended by the
committee, claiming that the old resi-
dents OF the city who had become ia
miliar with such names as Heron, Wish
kah, Hume and other streets, would not
submit, without vigorous protest, to a
wholesale change OF names. "It is not
advisable, at this time" said Mr.. Stew
art, "for this council to make such
changes as recommended by the COM
mittee, for the next council will change
them back; do not believe any of the
present council will be reelected in De-
cember." A. J. West, c. p. l.. Roberts,
J. G. Pearson and others, at the request
Of the mayor, gave their opinions in re-
gard to the change OF names, all object
ing, except in cases where two or more

was laid over until next Saturday night.

Lhue Plantation Co.

Covering the districts of Lihue and Ha.
namaulu on the Island OF Kauai are the vast
holdings of the Lihue Plantation Company.
The consolidation of the old original Lihue
and Hanamaulu plantations In 1898, gave
the present company total area OF 40,460
acres. which is held in fee simple and by
long leasehods.
or the above area approximately 5000
acres is considered good cane land and, &C.
cording to last tax returns, the total acreage
under cultivation was 1890 acres, some Of
which is lying fallow.
The first cane planted in this district was
fifty-fve years ago by W. II. Rice. father
of the present w. II. Rice. ST., and was OF
the native variety. Later on the Lahaina
was brought in by a man by the name OF
Titcomb and planted extensively.
The wild forest land at high attitudes Is
all fenced of for the purpose of protecting
the forests and the preservation Of the water
sheds. The character of the soil upon the
company's estate Is dark-red loan on the
lOwlands, carrying In part oxide Of iron.
while the mauka land Is a dark. coarse soil
and not Of great depth. The elevation that
cane is grown runs from practically sea

lers steam tackle is In use, the average
depth Of blowing being fifteen inches. but
varying OF course according to the soil.
Planted cane natures on these lands in
about fifteen months, and even after bios
soming will continue to ripen and make
sugar.
The mel..od Of cultivation is hoeing and
irrigation. also using Hackfeld's high.grade
fertilizers at the rate Of 1000 pounds to the
acre. Water for irrigation purposes is oh.
tanned from Huluia stream, the system OF

plant and rattoon canes for a number OF
years past is six tons of sugar to the acre.
or ton to eight tons OF cane.
