A New Note.

Make up your minds that definite and

worthy of intense inquiry. Shake off this
lethargy which allows you to remain in
eternal suspense, this indifference which
you call liberality, tais apathy You name
candor. 1t needs, doubt not, some finer

1t will be seen that the increase in
1OO,OOO.0OO pounds; from 1888 to 1898,
about 20O,O00,0O0 pounds, and from 1893
to 1903 about 5OOOOO,OO0 pounds. The
development of sugar production dur
ing the first decade was in bringing
under cultivation lands capable of pro-
ducing sugar without irrigation; dur
ing the second decade irrigation was
applied in the least difficult sections;
during the third decade the develop
ment of irrigation and application of
high-grade modern machinery to pro-
duction greatly developed. The irriga-
ton system now applied in Hawaii is
of great Importance and has brought
under cultivation large areas which
were absolutely valueless for sugar
production without the application of
water by artificial methods. More
than one-half of the sugar of Hawaii
is now produced from irrigated lands.
In this development of Hawaiian
sugar production American capital and
American energy have been the Chief
from a high authority in Hawaii by
the Bureau of Statistics indicates that
about $500, 900 of capital from the
United States have been invested in
Hawaii since the reciprocity treaty of
1876, a large part of this having been
so invested since annexation, in 1885,
This development since annexation IN
the increased investments in capital
from the United States and it's appli-
cation to irrigation in it's highest forms
has resulted in an increase of more
than fifty per cent in the sugar pro-
duction of the islands, the production
of 1897 being 100000 pounds; that of
| 1908, $40 1000, 900 pounds.
| The Hawaiian Islands now stand

all of the great cane-sugar exporting
| spots of the world are islands. Cuba
stands at the head of the list, with an
annual expectation under normal con-
ditions of over 1900, OOO, 600 pounds;
Java next, with an average annua
production of 1850, 0OO,0O pounds, while
the Hawaiian islands have now nearly
reached the 1000, O0O 900 mark. China
and India are also large producers Of
cane sugar, but consume practically al
of their production, their expectation
being small
Sugar production in the Hawaiian
Islands has developed much more rap
idly during the last thirty years thai
in any other producing section o
the world. The production in Jaw;
grew from 49,, 500, 600 pounds in 1875 t

The announcement that the Hawai-
ian sugar crop of 1903 is 100000 tons,
or s4o.ooo,oOo pounds lends special in
terest to some figures recently present
ed by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, through it's Bureau of Sta
tistics, covering the growth of sugar
production in Hawaii under the close
commercial relations with the United
States established by the reciprocity
treaty in 1876, and further DEVELOPED
by annexation in 1898. These figures
show that the sugar production of Ha-
waii in 1903 was practically thirty-five
times as great as that of the period
Immediately preceding the reciprocity
treaty. Prior to the establishment of
the reciprocity treaty of 1876 the sugar
production of Hawaii averaged about
25,000,000 pounds per annum. Within
two years following the reciprocity
treaty the production had doubled: by
another two years it had ouadrupled.,
By the end of the first decade under
reciprocity it was nearly ten times as
great, and the growth during the entire
period has continued at very rapid
rate The rapidity of growth in sugar
production in Hawaii during the period
under consideration is shown by the
following figures of production at
decennial periods:

Hawaii's share in supplying the sug-
ar consumption of the United States
has increased very rapidly since the
reciprocity treaty of 1876. Prior to
that date sugar imported from Hawaii
formed about IL per cent of the total
importation, while in the fiscal year
1903 Hawaii supplied about Is per cent
of the total brought into continental
United States.

may be considered as white folks. The
men are of large frame but chunkily
built and are anything but handsome.
The yemen are more agreeable in ap-
pearance and have regular features,
which suggest the Semitic type. The
children are clean, fat, well-behaved,
~well-cared-for and particularly we'll
clad--a gratifying statement which
shows that the garments brought to
the islanders have been advantage
ously utilized. At times they have
been reduced to a sad state OF rag
gedness because of inadequate sup
plies of clothing
There are no signs OF intellectual
deterioration in spite of the system
of close intermarriages, which are a
necessary evil Of their paucity of
numbers. The fathers and mothers
expressed their wish that something
be done to improve the educational
facilities and some of them said they
would like to leave the island If by so
doing their children might have the
advantage Of good schools.
The principal articles in the die
tary of the islanders are potatoes,
milk, beef, mutton and poultry. They
have these food supplies in abun-
dance, but for everything else they
are absolutely dependent upon the
visits of the warships. The plague Of
the island Is rats, which swarm ev-
erywhere. Fish are abundant around
the coasts, but since the great trag-
edy of som 20 years ago., when half
of the men were caught by a storm
while fishing and all lost their lives,
the people have not tempted the per.
lis of the sea, but have preferred to
be farmers in spite of the meagre re-
turns from the poor, thin soil.
The officers of the warships ex-
press the view that the island may
some day be made a station for wire
less telegraphy between South Amer
lea and Africa, and that commercial
relations may thus be established be-
tween those continents and the is
landers. whose conuItion will thereby
be improved. On the whole, these
tidings are the most cheeful that have
been received FOR years from Tristan
da Cunha, the reports from which
have often been of a pathetic nature.
