OIaa Plantation, is in Honolulu for the
first time since June. 1899. when he left
for Olaa Mr.. McStocker is here TO at
tend the meeting of the Planters AS
sociation, and will remain ten days.
THE changes in the city have been
great" he said last evening, land one
can hardly recognize the place. have
not gone about much. but in drive
through town 1 have seen the new
buildings. and they are a matter OF as
constituent to one who has been absent
for such time. The city has metro
politan air, given by the new great
structures, and when all are completed
it will not be the same place to one who
saw it a few years ago. In a drive to
Waikiki I was told of the work pro-
posed along tfe road, and while 1 do
not personally believe in making res
idence section of the low lands. the inn
provement will be a great one.
II have for years argued for tropi-
cal city with wide streets and low
buildings. more on the Mexican style of
architecture. 1 have also urged that
the residence portion of the city should
be in the foothills. 1t would be much
more in the line of building for posteri-
ty if the marshes in the city were filled
in and made into parks, surrounded by
boulevards. than that they be made the
residence portion of the city.
Politics have had little of my atten-
ton since leaving Honolulu. and I am
not a prophet in any sense of the word.
The outlook is one full of possibilities
There is, however, much necessity for
a close canvass before one could say
that there would. be any material
changes in the situation. 1 have not
met and talked with any of the local
politicians, but shall do so before L re-
turn.
"Olaa Plantation is looking up, and
the prospects for surprising my esti-
mates are good On last Monday we
reached the highest output for our mill.
The days work was 172 tons of sugar.
This is a great advance, and 1 expect
to see the mill doing 200 tons day
soon. Our crop this year will be $4,000
tons Our analysis is showing better
ali the time and now is as high or high
er than that of some of the older plan
tations. While L stated that our crop
would run five tons to the acre, L find
that in many places that amount is ex-
ceeded. and 1 would be surprised if the
future will not bring six or even seven
tons to the acre. l am now taking off
cane from the Mountain View lands,
using both rail and fiume for delivery
al the mill. This viii permit the low
land cane TO ripen and it will be cut

fine cane, and 1 predict that 1t viii be
of the very best cane land we have.

make it unnecessary to watch the sea-

forward TO having a $4,000 ton output.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-08-08

The Boston Herald says:-
1.-The political situation in Vermont
grows interesting day by day. Mr..
Clements course is forcing men to
take position on an issue which they
would rather not have raised or at
least not In the manner that II has
been precipitated on the attention Of
the state. When five of the seven
members OF the republican committee
in place Of the importance of Barre
resign for the reason that they intend
supporting the boiling candidate,
there can be no doubt but the action
has an OMNIBUS Significance.
Still, no one supposes that the bolt
will muster enough strength to elect
Mr.. Clement by a popular majority
over all. But in Vermont such ma
jority is requisite for election by the
people. The hope now is that the
election Of Mccullough in September
will be prevented, and the choice
thrown into the legislature. There
will be strong effort to elect legis-
lature that will not choose McCull-
ough in such case. This means any
number of strenuous and bitter local
battles.

have consequently been telegraphed

Gen. Lafayette and party entered
Vermont at Windsor on the morning
Of the 2Sth. although from the tenor
of his address at that place 1t might
be thought he was in Vermont or in
sight OF her mountains earlier than
that, probably in 177s. He was met
at Windsor by the governor and other
officials, who came with him by stage
to Montpelier.
The stage was drawn by six white
horses which were changed every ten
miles and the dri ,ers were instructed
to make the ten miles in an hour If
they killed the horses 1t was expect
ed the party would reach Montpelier

arrival. The troops were stationed
on Barre St., all through the day
awaiting his arrival. Gen. Lafayette
and his suite were entertained over
night at the Caldwell House, and the
only carpet then owned in town was
borrowed to put down in his bed room.
