The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-01-01

There are certain essential facts that
az investigator wants to know about a
Hawaiian sugar plantation without
having to wade through a mass of pad
ding and poetical description of sun
rise and scenery. The leading facts
about the South Kona Agricultural
Company are hereunder set forth.
INCORPORATION. 1t is a corpora
ton, incorporated under the laws Of
the Territory of Hawaii, on May 10,
1900
CAPITAL STOCK. The capital stock
is $1,000 900. with the privilege of sub
sequent extension to 100000.
OF the $1,oCo,oOO capital, $4,000 has
been issued paid up stock for the
land and improvements hereinafter set
forth.
The remaining $55O,OO0 is assessable
stock, either issued or held in the treas
ury of the company, with which TO
carry on the development of the plan
alton.
PAR VALUE. The stock consists of
10000 shares of a par value of 500 each.
STOCKHOLDERS LIABILITY. a
most vital question to stockholders is
that of their liability for debts of a
corporation. BY the laws of Hawaii
and the Charter of this Company, the
lia bility of a stakeholder is strictly linn
tied to the amount remaining unpaid
oa the face value of the stock. For eX-
ample. If So a share has been paid in
on share of assessable stock of this
company, and the company should then
bo unable 20 meet its obligations, the
holder of this stock would then be
liable to the creditors of the company
for the unpaid amount of the face
value of the stock, or SIS, and for no
more.
once a share of stock has been paid
UP in full, the creditors of the CON-
pany must look exclusively to the cor
poration, and there is no personal LA
b4lity on the part OF the stockholders.
IT is to indicate this limit of liability"
that the word Limited is. by Hawaii
an law, attached to all limited liabil-
lty companies Incorporated in Hawaii.
LOCATION. The location of the

plantation of this company is in South
kona, Island of Hawaii The nearest
sugar plantation on one side is the
Hutchinson, and on the other the Kona
Sugar Company.
LANDS. The company owns in fee
simple 1921 acres, and has leases of,
or planting agreements with 400 acres
additional.
OF this area there is of cane land:
In fee owned by the COM
pany 0,t0U acres
Under lease or planting
agreement Observation-Disclosures. $500 acres
Total cane land controlled
by company .....-....... b,l5O acres
In addition to the above there are be-
tween 1000 and 10000 acres of addi-
tional cane land of fine quality which
are within easy reach of the mill loca-
ton and which will raise cane to be
ground at this mill as soon as it is
available.
CHARACTER OF LAND. There are
two ways Of ascertaining the quality of
li.nd and it's suitability for cane cul-
tUre, viz: ID By chemical analysis. CD
By actual cultivation of cane. Both
these methods have been followed on
this plantation.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS The anal
ysis of soils in Hawaii has been carried
to a high degree of perfection. The
elements required by cane are closely
known, so that chemical analysis pro-
viGes definite basis for estimating the
value of different soils for cane cultiva-
ton The soils from all sections of the
South Kona Agricultural Companys
lands have been analysed by the best
chemists, and the results demonstrate
that THERE IS NONE BETTER
ADAPTED TO CANE GROWTH IN
THE, TERRITORY OF HAWAII.
PRACTICAL TEST. Cane in small
Patches has been grown on these lands
from time immemorial For the past
three years cane has been grown there
on in acre quantities, and there is now
growing on the plantation $50 acres Of
cane. The growth shown is absolutely
phenomenal Without steam blowing,
fertilizing or irrigation and with but
little cultivation, the growth, weight
and analysis of the cane shows a yield
of six tons of sugar and upward per

acre. With the greater economy OF an
rrirrigated plantation, this is as profit
able as eight tons to the acre on an
irrigated plantation.
RAINFALL-NO IRRIGATION RE-
CURED. The rainfall of this dist. let
is ample for all vegetation, no irrigation
being required for any purpose, even
taro, an essentially water plant, grow
ing Iuxuriantly. The rainfall is also
distributed with great evenness
throughout the year, as will be seen
by the following records of rainfall
taken on the plantation lands.

culiar advantages of this district, for

Az issue of 100000 of 6 per cent bonds
has been authorized. 100000 of which
are now being placed.
PROSPECTS OF PROFIT. Every in
dicatiou is to the effect that sugar can
be produced as cheap if not cheaper on
this plantation than anywhere else in
the Territory, and that it will pay
handsome profit with sugar at $50
ton, which is lower than the price has
ever yet been.
THE PRESIDENT and majority
stockholder of the company is William
r. Castle of Honolulu, formerly Ha-
vGiian Attorney General, Minister to
Washington and Annexation Commits
sioner. He is an energetic, progressive
business man, and is devoting the prin-
cipal part of his time and energies to
this company.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-01-01

purpose of cane culture, is the fact that
there is practically no wind. 1t is so
sheltered by high mountains that the
trade winds never reach it, and a gen.
tie land breeze at night ani sea breeze
il the day time are the only winds, ex-
cept during brief periods in the winter
months. This has an important bear
ing on the growth of cane, as wind
more than sun dries up moisture, and
high winds break down, destroy and
stunt much cane in windy districts.
THE PRESENT STATUS of the en-
terprise is as follows:
Growing cane. $50 acres.
Buildings-Manager's house, store,
Office, laborers' houses for $50 laborers,
stables for so animals, water storage
for 25O,OG0 gallons, % mules, teams,
plows and tools.

READ AND PROFIT THEREBY

Editors are always trying to impress
upon business men the superiority of
newspaper space over bill boards, fen
ces, bridges, trees, etc, for advertis.
ing but it remained for Nebraska
editor to put clincher onto the argu-
ment which he did as follows:
"The other day when we were driv-
ing down behind our family rhino-
ceros, we came across an aged man
tearing a bridge to pieces and placing
it on wagon. As the bridge was one
we needed in our business we asked
the aged man what he WAS doing with
it and in which case why so, or words
to that effect. He replied: My eye
sight is poor, and l have no spectacles
with me. / understand that many ad-
vertisements are painted on this
bridge. and / am taking it home in
order that | may read them and find
out where to get bargains. The long
winter evenings are coming and /
want to lay in supply of bridges
and board fences and barn doors, that
| may read what the merchants have
to say. -

STRICT LAWS NEEDED.

The views given by Mr.. John Mar
tin in an interview in the Tribune as
to the prolific use of misrepresenta-
tions in floating mining companies is
right in line with the policy of The
Investor and is another effective argu-
meut why there should be national
department of mines AS he says, it
is becoming known that there are
valuable gold bearing properties in
Georgia, but owing to the manner in
which the public has been hoodwink-
ed time and time again by fake COM
panies or the misuse of funds subscrib-
ed by the innocent stock holder has
made the average business man very
shy about dipping into mining stock,
unless he takes the view thae it is
gamble says the Michigan Investor.
The latter spirit should not predomi-
nate in the mining business, which is
as legitimate as any other. Modern
science has rendered it possible where
due care is used in nine times out of
ten, to make paying mine out of a
good prospect.
Another thing that initiates against
the mining industry is the ignorance
-. L.. L.. A..
companies. They think little mon
ey can do too much and start out to
develop a property with insufficient
funds. According to reliable men
who have made mining lifelong
study there are many meritorious
mines abandoned and lying idle that
are really valuable. This is due to
the mismanagement of companies, the
running short Of funds and the disa-
bility or disinclination Of the stock
holders to put up any more money in
such enterprises feel that they have
either been swindled or that i was
an unfortunate venture, whereas it
has only been due to lack of cash that
the property has not yielded hand
some return from the moAey invested.
Then on the other hand there are the
countless fakes the glowing prospect
uses of which contain fabulous tales
of impossible returns rendered believ-
able by the glamor which always sur
rounds the search of gold. The In
vestor agrees with Mr.. Martin of
Georgia. There should be laws pass
ed making Misrepresentation in a
prospectus crime for which a stiff
penalty should be imposed. and other
states should follow the example of
Idaho and pass laws that no dividend
on mining stock shall be. paid unless
such dividend comes from the earnings
of the mine after its debts are paid.
This would be n protection to the
mining enterprises that are Legitimate
as well rs to the man who puts money
into mining stock.
