Who Will Furnish Facilities?

After speaking Of the congested state
of transportation throughout the country
Mr.. Hill said
"A careful examination of the railway
problem from a. national standpoint will,
believe, show beyond question that the
business of the country has outgrown the
facilities on most of the trunk lines and
that new facilities not now apparent will
be necessary to relieve the situation.
RATES in the United States are much
lower than in any other country. Wages
are higher; the cost of most of the ma
terial is higher than in Europe, still the
average rate charged in Europe is fully
twice as high as in America. The condi-
lions in this country change very rapidly;
while rates have been cut in two in twenty
years all kinds of labor and materials
used by the railways have advanced from
80 to 80 per cent! Nothing but the in
creased volume of traffic has made it
possible to reduce rates as they have
been reduced. To-day we find the vol
ume of traffic so great east Of Chicago
that the railways are not able to move it
under the present conditions. How will
these conditions be changed and at whose
cost? Who will build new lines or in
crease old ones? These are the ques-
| tions which I will not undertake to an
sWer farther than to say that the west
must have the facilities or suffer for the
want Of them. The public must bear in
mind that "a bankrupt road cannot fur
nish good service z s1 III
1.-THE railroad must be able to furnish
the service demanded from it at fair and
reasonable rates. The problem we have
had to solve has been how to reduce the
cost of operation so that we can furnish
transportation at the lowest prices. This
can be done only by increasing the value
of traffic. The question is, as simple as
raising a given amount Of money by taxa
ton. The more dollars worth of property
taxed the lower the rate of taxation will
be and the greater number of tons car
| ried the lower the rate of transportation
| will be-. This is one of the main reasons
why we are so anxious to develop the

Capital and Railroad Control.
1.-THE capital stock of railway companies
as. of other corporations will be held by
somebody and somewhere. Railway COM
panies as carriers are subject to super
vision and control by the public for the
purpose of insuring the performance OF
their obligations to the public. The capital
employed in railway construction is made
public. Railroads make public through
published rates the price charged Tor
transportation, the only thing they have to
sell. and must report the amount they re-
ceive for what they sell and what has been
done with it. Courts are open for the
purpose of determining whether railway
companies as carriers observe their OBJ
legations to the public. The question of
the reasonableness of rates and service
does not depend upon whether one man
owns the capital stock of a railway or an
other-whether the capital stock is owned
by ten men or one thousand, by persons
or by corporations.

means to buy and pay for. The capital
stock Of the Northern Pacific and the

with the speaker, was discussed by
Professor Thomas Shaw of the Minnesota
Agricultural college in an able and inter-
esting manner. He said in part:
It may seem waste of time to talk about
fertility in the Red River valley. 1t is, as
you farmers know land, the natural fer
tility of which has never been exceeded
probably since the world was created. Not
a few of the men who till the lands in this
valley will look you straight In the face and
tell you that the fertility of this valley will
never wear out. And the endless succession
of grain crops which they grow, and the
periodical burning OF straw stacks which TAX IS
place every year, are evidences of the SIM
cerity of their convictions. 30. /.
Notwithstanding, just as surely as the

so surely will the lands OF this unrivaled valS

SPEAK LATER

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Young Mems Republican
Club held yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock, the meeting arranged for this
evening at the Orpheum with ex-Sena-
tor John NJ. Thurston as the principal
speaker was postponed owing TO throat
trouble which the Senator is expert
encing. w. w. Harris stated that DR..
Galbraith had told him that Senator
Thurston might be well enough by the
middle of the coming week to fulfill his
engagement but not before then.
1t was decided after some discussion
to postpone the meeting until Saturday
evening, August 80. The island steam
ers would on that day bring delegates
from the other islands to the Republic
can Convention, to be held on the fol-
lowing Monday, and Senator Thurston
would have a representative all-island
audience to address on that occasion
It is believed the results would be more
far reaching than if the meeting had
been held tonight.
The mass meeting, which the Young
Mems Republican Club is arranging for
the discussion of city and county gov
eminent, may be held Wednesday
evening at the Orpneum. when three
or four speakers will present both sides
of the question.
One hundred and one new members
were admitted TO the club.

WANTS BIG
DAMAGES
.AhIoSues Kaneohe
Ranch Co. For
$4,000.
SAID TO HAVE CUT
OFF WATER SUPPLY
Temporary Injunction Issued Res
training Further interference
With Water Rights.

Suit for damages in the sum on $4,000
was instituted by L. Ahlo against c.
Bolte and the Kaneohe Ranch CO. for
injuries sustained by the Interference
of the defendants with the water
rights of the plaintiff in Waikalna
stream. A temporary injunction was
issued in the circuit court yesterday
restraining defendants from further in
reference with the rights of Ahlo.
The petition alleges that the plaintiff
owns land at Kaneohe, Koolaupoko,
Oahu, which ownership gives him the
right to the free and unobstructed use
of the wafer running through Waikalua
ditch. The plaintiff says that he cleaned
out at considerable expense the bitches
leading to his land and in order to in
crease the pressure constructed a dam
across a certain portion of the ditch, all
of which had been done with the con-
sent of 9. c. Harris. Afterwards plain
tiff constructed a rice mill upon his
lands at cost of $4,000 and in 1894
built a dam at a cost of 81, 275, other
dams having been washed out by re-
peated freshets. Water from the ditch
has been used in the operation of the
mill and also in the cultivation of rice.
Though knowing that he required
constant flow of water it is alleged that
the respondents did, willfully and wan
tonly and intending to injure the plain
tiff, and damage him in his business of
rice growing, fill the ditch, on January
II, 1902, cutting off entirely the flow of
water to the mill. The petitioner was
compelled to clean the ditch again at
great expense, and was threatened that
if he did it again the respondents would

respondents are alleged to have des-
troyed Ahlo's fiume and to have di-
verted the water from his rice pianta-
ton for eleven days. and plaintiff was
compelled to employ men to watch the
ditch In spite of this in July respond
ents are again alleged to have
destroyed the flume, allowing the water
from WaikaIua stream to run into the
sea and become wasted. By reason or
the acts of defendants, the 'pla1ntlfr
alleges that he lost one crop OF rice
valued at $685. and another valued at
SEALS. Further plaintiff alleges that he
is now unable to cultivate rice upon
his lands or operate his mill and that
by reason of the acts hereinbefore set
forth he has been damaged in the sum
of s5.075.O7 and by the repeated willful
and wanton acts of defendants, plain
tiff ''has been annoyed, and harraSsed
and put to extreme inconvenience, loss
of time and expenditure of counsel fees
to his damage in the sum of $4,000"
The injunction restraining defend
ants from further injury to plaintiff
was granted and hearing on motion for
permanent injunction will be had next
week.
Kinney, Ballou & McCIanahan, Ma

Paper From Bagasse

The press dispatches from San Fran
cisco announce the receipt from Hawaii of
quantity OF bagasse. to be shipped east
for experiment in paper manufacture.
There can scarcely be any doubt as to
Hawaiian bagasse making gOcd paper.
The trouble there would be the matter OF
a fueI supply, as at the present time ali
the bagasse made is required 10 complete
the process Of sugar manufacture. The
diversion CT bagasse 40 paper manufac-
ture would nccessitate some other fuel
supply. and cur Sandwich Island confreres
may find liquid fuel If they search for 1t
as earnestly as we are now doing along
the Gun coast This journal has now in
its possession white paper made from
bagasse twenty-five years ago in Paris.
The editor OF this Journal had paper
made from bagasse in Cincinnati some
twenty years ago. Therefore, the plain
proposition as 10 whether or not bagasse
viii make good paper has been solved
long since. The trouble thus far has been
that the value of bagasse as a fuel in
Louisiana greatly exceeded any other
that it might have. The plentitude OF
paper stock. such as straw. wood pulp,
etc. has diverted inquiry from bagaSse.
The increasing scarcity of paper stock
is now directing attention in every direc
ton for new sources of supply When
we consider that a leading New York
journal would consume all the spruce
paper stock growing on ten acres of land
in it's issue for a single day, we may
judge Of what enormous quantities are
required, and ii may be that our sugar in
dustry will be saved to us by the de-
velopment collaterally Herewith OF a pa
per industry.
The magnificent new paper mill of the
Kenilworth Company is now in operation,
turning OUT wrapping paper 126 inches
wide and of very superior quality. WITH
increased experience in the utilization of
bagasse doubtless many improvements
will result, and we shall hope that il can
be made into first class newspaper stock,
which viii at once open a worldwide mar
ket for bagasse. If, coincidentally with
this increased demand for bagasse. we be-
come assured of permanent oil fuel sup
ply, the future of our sugar industry
would look somewhat brighter than 1t
