A FIBER INDUSTRY
SAMPLES FROM HAWAII AT
WASHINGTON.
The Department of Agriculture Writes
to Jared Smith About the Sisal Fiber
Business.

The Department of Agriculture has
written to Commissioner Jared Smith
on the subject of ssal fiber in Hawaii,
replying to a letter sent by Smith, with
samples Of sisal grown on this Island.
The department appears to take much
interest in the fiber industry in Hawaii.
The letter, from the assistant botanist,
is as follows:
Please accept my thanks for your
samples of sisal fiber which were re-
Ceived with your letter of March B.
Il showed the samples to Secretary
Wilson, who exhibited great interest in
them and desired to know in what
manner this department could aid the
industry in the Hawaiian Islands. If
there is anything that this department
can do in the way of introducing i'm
proved varieties Of sisal plants or Civ
ing information in regard to improved
methods of handling them or preparing
the fiber, we shall be pleased to do so.
l am now planning to make a trip to
the leCheguilla region of Northern Mex
leo, and it is barely possible that I may
extend it so as to visit the sisal planta-
tiOns Of Yucatan.
The samples of fiber from Hawaii
seem to be rather coarse, but they are
Of excellent color and those of the ma
ture plants are longer than the Yucca
tan fiber
'I have just received this morning a
letter from one of the leading fiber
dealers of New York, who states that
the best grades of sisal fiber are pro-
duced in the Bahamas and on a few
plantations in Cuba, the fiber from
those Islands averaging about four feet
ia length, While Yucatan sisal fiber
largely cleaned by the raspadOres, will
average only about three feet in
length. The best grades of Yucatan
sisal are quoted in New York at about
9 cents per pound, while the best
grades of sisal from Cuba and the Ba-
hamas command a half cent higher. At
least some of the fiber produced in
Cuba is obtained from Agave rigida
elongata. / think that a large proper
tiOn of that produced in Yucatan is
from Agave rigida sisalana.
There are said to be numerous horti-
cultural varieties, and it will require
some further Investigations to deter
mine which are the best and which are
best adapted to different soils and cli-
matte conditions
IF there is anything that this De-
partment can do to aid the fiber indus
try in the Hawaiian Islands, please let
me know.
yours sincerely,

Assistant BOtanist"

MORNONS CELEBRATE
TWO HUNDRED SAINTS JOURNEY
TO LAIE.
Delegates From Island Group win
Hold Three Days Convention With
Local Church Members.

Two hundred saints of the Mormon
church went to Laie Wednesday for
their annual convention. Among them
were delegates from the different ISL
ands as well as representatives from
Honolulu. Elders of the church, men,
women and children packed into the
cars Of the oahu Railroad Company,
filling almost every seat, and took the
trip 10 kahuku. There by arrangement
beforehand, they transferred them
selves of freight cars of the plantation
railroad and, crowded but happy in
the anticipation of the big convention,
rode along between the dsmantled

fact which seemed a special prOVi-
dence for the MOrmOns who thus Sc
cured cheap and rapid transit to Laie.
If the freight cars were not as COM
Portable as they might be- they were
palace cars compared to the covered
and slow moving oX-wains i'm which
the first chosen children dragged their
weary way to Zion across the Utah
deserts and despite the harassing at
tacks of the scalp hunting Indians.
1t was a cheerful merry crowd that
put up their two dollars apiece for the
round trip and, looking forward to the
unallOyed delight of three days uninter-
rupted communion with others of their
the way and cheerfully encountered any
little discomforts over the jolting plan
tation road beds.
At Laie, where there is a Mormon
settlement and a big church, they were
eagerly welcomed. Great preparations
had been made for their arrival Pigs
and chickens have been fattened in
readiness, for one of the tenets of the
Mormon religion is hospitality. For
three days there will be feasting and
singing while the elders of the faith
discourse and discuss the truths and
beauties of Mormonism. They are en-
thusiastiC in their belief, the Hawaiian
Mormons, and their prolific member

colony one of the shining lights of the
Mormon missionary districts.
There is but little apparent accom-
modatiOn for the two hundred travellers
ana they will probably have to utilize
the church for sleeping quarters.

saints hold good until the folks come
back Most of them are expected Mon
day but a few who have especial
friends and relations at Laie viii stay
over for an extra day or so.

FREE FROMMORTG GAGE. GOVERNOR IN FACT
THE CASTLE ESTATE EXCHANGES
TROLLEY BONDS.
Exchange First Mortgage Bonds For
Preferred Stock and a Bonus-Magoon
and McCandless.

A lengthy meeting Of the Rapid Tran
sit Company was held this morning in
the assembly hall of Castle and Cooke
Considerable discussion as to an ex-
change of bonds for preferred stock by
the Castle Estate and j. b. Castle and
the question of bonus thereon occupied
nearly two hours. There were but two
dissentients, j. A. Magoon and l.. l..
McCandless to the proposed bonus of
fifteen per cent. An amended resOlu-
tiOn by which the s. N. Castle estate
and J. b. Castle exchanged some $2O9, -
600 worth of bonds held on a'hrst-mort-
gage for preferred stock taken out of
the unissued stock of the company and
bearing six per cent.
In consideration of the fact that the
estate and j. b. Castle came forward at
a time when it was impossible to secure
money elsewhere for the maintenance
of the Transit Company and at a time
when it was threatened with dissolu.
ton a bonus of fifteen per cent of COM
mon stock was granted with the ex-
change.
J. A. Magoon stated that he was
willing to go to the extent of ten per
cent but that fifteen was exorbitant.
He attempted to show that the value of
the stock was such that the Transit
Company would be losing some thirty
thousand dollars on the transaction
point of view only concurred in by l.. L.
McCandless. The resolution passed by
heavy majority. Among those pre-
sent were w. r. Castle, j. b. Atherton,
