In Railways and parlors The decora-

Under the glow of lights the hallway
was most attractive with the radiance
Of clusters of callas, which filled d
huge jardiniere near to the entrance,
and a huge bank of white carnations
and ferns through which ran broad
white satin ribbons. The newell post
of the staircase was covered with d
cluster of spider lilies held by a white
satin bow, the balustrade being wound
prettily with MALE. In the front par

A CASTOR BEAN
PLANTATION
Success Being Made in Manu-
facture of Castor Oil
at Kaneohe.

IT. f. Sedgwick, assistant director Of
fine agricultural station. returned yes
terday from a visit to the castor bean
plantation at Kaneohe, on the other
side of the Pail. He reports the indus
try to be in fiourishing condition, and
the promoters are making a financial
success of their venture as well. Over
one hundred acres are planted in the
castor plant, in rows, as in an orchard,
and thousands of gallons of castor oil
are extracted from the beans in a year.
The extracting plant is also very fine
one, and about 81 per cent of oil is
extracted from the beans. Castor
beans are shipped to the Kaneohe fac
tory also from Hawaii, where F. Buch-
holtz also has plantation. Thefoil is
put up in five gallon cans, and is sold
for lubricating and medicinal purposes,
the greater part being used in the ISL
ands, though there are some foreign
shipments.
The industry has had much to con-
tend with since it's establishment four
years ago. About two years ago nearly
all the trees were destroyed by a kona.
The work is now carried on in sys-
tematic manner, and is said to be sue
cessful financially.
In 1865 and 1866 an attempt to start
similar industry was made in the ISL
ands, but for some reason it proved a
failure.

Federal Laws For Trusts.

On Monday James B. Dill, the
well known corporation lawyer of
New York city, delivered an ad-
dress at Harvard university on the
subject of National Laws to Gov
ern Trusts or Great Industrial
Combinations" The subject is one
that is attracting great deal of at
tention, much more than it is
thought to be by those who are not
in a position to realize its import
ance.
In the course of his talk Mr.. Dill
said that the American people have
not yet begun to realize the power
and force of these aggregations of
capital. 1t is doubtless true that
they haven't, but they are alarmed
at their power to control the prices
of the products which they pro-
duce. AS states do not seem to be
able to control them. it would seem
as if the government would have
to undertake the supervision of
them.
In the March Atlantic Mr.. Mer-
riam, the director of the census. has
an article in which he shows that
up to and inclusive of the year
1900 there had been 1S3 trusts
organized, having a paper capital
of So 800, ,6l5, sos. These trusts alb
sorbed 2,203 private industrial en-
terprises. Since the census was
taken, however, great many more
trusts have been organized-in fact,
the very greatest of them all has
come into existence, namely, the
United States Steel corporation.
The trusts, however, haven't alb
sorbed much more than a fraction
of the industries of the country. In
1900 the output Of the trusts was
valued at 81 l,66l, 100000, while the
output of all other industrial enter,
prises was valued at between Sl3,
600, 100000 and S14,0C0,O00,0OO.
The combining of industrial
plants and also of railroads is going
on all the time, however, and ifthert
are to be federal laws for their con
troll it would be advisable to enact
such laws before the trusts become
sufficiently powerful to have them
framed in their own interests.
