SUGAR ENTERPRISE.

1t would be we'll if more expeditions
to our various plantations were under
taken by investors, would-be investors
and others, who should learn from ac-
tual examination what they are like,
and what they are doing, as was the
case with McBryde last week. Such
an examination does away with the
countless rumors which are circulated
about such properties, and in an ire
fragable answer to detractions which
are set flying round with the distinct
purpose of decrying the property so
that the stock may be sold cheap.
The condition of our Island planta-
tons which are now well established is
wonderfully good. one has only to look
at the stock list to see how those which
have permanent basis stand. Old
plantations like Hawaiian Agricultural
Honomu, Waikiki, and others are un-
buyable as far as stock goes. New
plantations like oahu, and many others
are far above par. Then there are the
younger investments which promise as
great results and probably greater, but
these are the ones which are liable to
attack by the manipulators, who are
willing and anxious to make a stampede
and bring down the price by frightening
the small investors to sell out at a loss.
This plan has succeeded very well to
the advantage of the manipulators and
the disadvantage of the small investor,
who has frequently come out shorn of
his fleece. But the shearing has been
due not to the possibilities of the in
vestment, but purely to the manipula-
ton of the stock market, which has
produced cold feet.
The McBryde plantation people took
the bull by the horns, organized an eX-
petition and showed what the planta-
ton had already done, and what it
proposed to do The result has been
that people learn from many sources
what the condition of the plantation is
Similar expeditions to other plantations
would bring about similar results.
Plantation work is steady plodding, and
person who has never seen a planta-
tion cannot understand what the work
is, but let any one see what is being
done, see the land that has been put in
shape for cultivation, see the elaborate
water system, the pumping plants, the
intricate machinery of the mill and the
skill required in organizing the army of
laborers and in seeing that their work
is not wasted, and he or she wiD
realize what mighty work in a short
time is being done by the new enter
prizes which took the older plantations
a couple of decades to bring to perfec-
ton.

The plumbers strike is still on; and

Prof. Robert H. Thurston, using
Popular Science Monthly as a medium,
says that in 1900 Galvani and Volta
sowed the seed, and since has sprung
up the whole science and art of cleo
trical physics. Thus, ten years ago We
had about 700 miles of electric railway;
today about $1,000 miles are in opera
ton in the United States alone; a thou
sand millions of dollars are invested in
the business, and an army of 100000
men is employed, mainly in the great
cities, but with steady growth toward
Of population. Two thousand millions
of dollars are reported to be now in
vested in apparatus for electrical distri-
button of energy, converted ultimately
into light and power. About two thirds
of billion of dollars are invested in
the property of the electric light COM
panies. There are between 100000 and
100000 miles of telephone wires, and
we can talk from Boston to Chicago,
and from Chicago to San Francisco
tional distance. The Bell Company
alone owns 100000 miles of wire, has
100000 instruments and receives &c.
100000 year from its business. The
world outside the United States utilities

HOMESTEADS.

a most interesting article upon the
small farmer of these Islands was
published in the columns of The Star
on July y. 1t came from the pen of
careful observer who has lived long
enough in the Territory to know what
are its capabilities. who has lost the
first blush of enthusiasm, has got over
the reaction of pessimism and can con-
slider the possibilities of the country
from a good practical standpoint. His
observations which We're dated from
-Nalmea. Hawaii, were the result of
study of this kind of progress in Ha-
makua ana the KohaIas. Among these
districts he found the small farmer do
ing good work, and showed how the
man became a small farmer.
A very large number of these home1
steaders are Portuguese, there are also
many Hawaiians and part Hawaiians,
and a sprinkling of other races from
among our Heterogeneous population
There have been 1890 homesteads in all
taken up, and though some of these
where they have gone into the lands of
, the Olaa Sugar Company, yet q VArv
large percentage remain in the hands
of the Small farmer. These homesteads
are scattered over the Islands of Ha-
wait Maui and Oahu. 1t is a curious
fact that Kauai has no homesteads I'M
der the last land act. Besides the
present homesteaders, moreover there
are many HaWaiians who own kule-
anas, or practically homesteads which
became their property at the great dis
-tribution of land in the forties.
To any one who wishes to study the
homestead question, the homesteads
above Honokaa, those in the vicinity
of Hilo, and the two settlements on the
slopes of Haleakala are probably the
best worth visiting, as they show the
progress made by the homesteaders
towards comfort and ease. OF course
there are many other sets of home
steads but these are the largest aggre-
cations of homesteads, and the home
steaders have reached a satisfactory
position as small farmers, being able
not only to raise crops which support
their families and themselves, but hav-
ing a market in which to dispose of
the surplus from their holdings.
About the homesteads one need not
expect the neatness of small farms of
older countries, nor the scrupulous or
der Of the dwellings, But the crops are
fiourishing and yielding an increase
from the soil far in excess of less fav-
ored lands. But there is rude comfort
and there is ample food. There is no
lean and hungry look about either chill
dren or parents such as is sometimes
seen among the peasantry of Europe.
There can be no. doubt that food is
abundant and nOurishing.
The people! themselves, as is always
the case with small land holders are
orderly, They feel the responsibility Of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-07-15

property. This is striking among the
Portuguese. These people in their own
land never have hoped to become small
land holders. 1t was as hopeless &c
dream of small holding in the Azores
or Madeira. as it was to dream of a
mansion i'm Lisbon. But here it was
and under the land law he could obtain
| land upon the easiest of terms, and he
could and did become a small land
holder. The Portuguese delights in
nothing so much as owning a piece OF
land and he makes the very best use
Of every inch of it. The force of his
example is felt by other homesteaders
who are not naturally so industrious,
and the results are good.
In a small territory such as this, the
homesteader has another advantage,
which is not always in the power of
the small farmer elsewhere. He can
always obtain work and, If he desires
it. steady work throughout the year.
This enables him to support his fam
lily till his crops come on and, when
these have arrived and his food sup
ply is drawn from his own land he can
use the money earned for obtaining bet
ter agricultural implements, for i'm
provements in his cottage and for cloth
ing his family
Another point is of great interest
about the homesteader He becomes
anxious about the education of his chill
dren. He may himself be quite unable
to read or to write, but he does not
intend that such should be the condi-
ton of those who come after him. He
expects his children to help in the work
of the little farm, but he is willing to
allow them time to go to school. And
through the children an elevating pro-
cess goes on. The children read, and
are eager to read not only from their
school books, but from eXtraneous
books and leaflets which the teacher is
able to supply. The information thus
obtained is told orally to the parents
and eventually has it's effect. Recently
at one of the homestead schools
nearly. the whole adult popula-
ton assembled to see the closing eXer-
cises. Five or six years ago it would
have been the hardest work to have
collected the full complement of chill
dren. Thirteen or fourteen years ago
the whole of that country side, now
dotted with scores of homes and re-
curing school accommodations for 100
children, was nothing but a waste, with
some few sorry huts and a native
school of a dozen children.
Just as it is necessary to become ac-
equainted. with our larger industries by
actual visiting, so it is necessary to
visit the homesteaders to know their
progress and condition. AS the cores
pendent of The Star said in his letter
the small farmer is already here, and
he has proved that small farming is a
success. But in order to make small
farming pay requires untiring industry
and considerable frugality. EXuberant
as our soil is it will not spontaneously
bring forth the kindly fruits of the
earth. The person who takes up a
homestead with the idea that he can
loaf his life away. will go hungry and
will then claim that small farming is
a delusion and a snare. The primeval
law of God remains true here, as it
does everywhere, In the sweet of thy
face shalt thou eat bread"

ways be counted upon as a success.
The organization is always good, the

Hubbard Bros. & CO.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, April 1O.-Liverpool rallied
on American arbitrage buying, closing
steady at 4 points advance from yester-
day. Here the opening was quiet, with
little outside business offering, but it was
soon favorably affected by the improve
ment in Liverpool and advanced quickly
on the covering by yesterdays sellers. On
the improvement the long interest sup
piled the demand and the market drop
ped 10 points, to again rally on the New
Orleans estimate for tomorrow, which
the local trade consider light. 1t can
be seen that the market is a very nervous
one, with the traders disposed to buy on
all weak markets, until the differences
between the market and Liverpool mar
row. Under these conditions the short
interest appears to grow smaller each
day. not that the broad conditions have
changed, for they remain very bearish,
but because the local conditions lead them
to consider the policy of buying on weak
moments more profitable than looking for
decline on the movement.
