A SMALL FARMER TELLS
WHAT CAN Be DONE HERE
He Suggests That the Range of Hawaii's
Export Trade Might Include Winter Grown
VegetabIes---O Valuable Ideas.

Paris and Berlin in condition as if
they came just from the field. Malaga
at the coast of Spain supplies the New
York market with fresh table grapes
and even fruit as perishable as straw
berries are supplied from Los Angeles
to New York in cold storage. The Ha-
waiian Islands are the natural hot
house for the Pacific coast. In the
same measure as the population of the
coast will increase, so will the chances
for the Hawaiian farmer and there is
no other place within reach so favored
by nature as to compete seriously with
the islands in these products during
winter. II is true that the MeXicans
are shipping considerable quantities of
tomatoes, etc, each winter to the San
Francisco market Notwithstanding the
rather high duties on these vegetables.
But owing to this duty we need not
fear their competition nor need we
fear competition from Arizona or Flor
ida.
The foregoing will show that the Ha-
waiian farmer is in much better posi-
ton as far as prices for his products
are concerned than the California
grower The Hawaiian has another
advantage inasmuch as he will have
less expense in raising his crop. If
we except the northern part of the
state, which so far cuts but little figure
in the market, at least 80 per cent. of
all California vegetables are grown
with irrigation water, which means
considerable expense and loss of time,
while we have thousands of acres in
the islands where the clouds do all the
irrigating necessary.
But these farmers of whom l am
speaking are still to come and we
should use our best endeavors to bring
about conditions which may induce
them to make Hawaii their home.
Good times for the small farmer will
mean good times for everybody. 1t is
the natural result from the present tax
system that the same coast which
ought to buy our surplus in farm prod
ucts is at present supplying our own
market with vegetables and other
fruit to considerable extent, and, this
being so, il is also natural that most
people at the coast are under the i'm
preston that nothing can be raised in
the islands except cane and some ba-
nanas. There may be some truth in
the statement that the Honolulu fruit
dealers and commission houses do not
encourage the farmer on the islands,
but with cooperation on their side
this state of affairs will undoubtedly
change as soon as a sufficient number
of settlers is at hand who mean bust
ness and who are in a position to sup
ply the market regularly. To do that
one of the first needs will be better
facilities, that means
railroads, better wagon roads and more
frequent steamship connections.
l may have a chance to talk later on !
about drawbacks which the Hawaiian
vegetable and fruit grower will have |
to overcome.

NEW STAMP ISSUE.

Only our grandparents remember to-
day the early Pony Express stamps.
Since the issue of those first stamps,
the coefficients of an extensive postal
service, thousands of different issues
have come and gone, most of them
bearing the familiar faces of our great
patriots and statesmen.
The authorization of municipal
stamps was supposed to have been con
fined to the early days. but the new
issue refutes the belief. The stamps are
here described: 1c. blue, Sullivan; &C.
lake, Bryan (weeping over a silver
urn; sc. brown, Bath (stin talking):
$500 bright red, The Douglas Patent
Closet. There are others but the $25.O 90
is the favorite.

that on that day the first California
grown tomatoes sold at $3.50 the 6 Id
box, that is Csc. per lb) and this gives
ample time to the Hawaiian grower for
marketing his crops, vegetables as well
as other fruits, such as peaches,
grapes. which are not to be had at
the coast from any other place during
winter and the early spring. He may
get as much as 10c. per 10 and more
for such fruit which the California
grower will be compelled to sell at
from $40 to $50 per ton later on when

Napoopoo, June "a, 1908.


Editor Advertiser: The. other day /
promised to show for the benefit OF
those who do not believe in the future
of Hawaii that with proper transpor-
tation facilities the chances for the
small farmer would be far better in
Hawaii than anywhere on the coast.
This / believe to be easier to prove
than to convince a person that better
times are ahead for the sugar indus
thy. 1t is not my intention to talk
about raising OF chickens, turkeys,
hogs and cattle, all of which can I'M
doubtedly be raised cheaper in the ISL
ands than at the coast, nor do l want
to talk about the possibilities in grow
ing pineapples for canning purposes,
about sisal and vanilla bean culture,
which industries have taken a promis-
ing start in the islands, and about
coffee 1 will only repeat, what every
body knows that our Kona product is
equal to the best coffee from the Cen
trail American republics.
But / should like to say few words
about the profits which the Hawaiian
farmer may easily reap if he makes 1t
his business to supply the coast with
vegetables and fruit during the winter
months, or, if he cannot fully supply
the demand, to sell at least all he can
raise during that time. Everybody
who has lived in California knows that
there is hardly one winter in ten with
out a frost The frost belt extends as
far South as San Diego and as rule
one cold night either entirely kills the
vegetable growth or at least retards 1t
for a long time, excepting perhaps
some of the harder plants of minor
Importance. In Southern California
vegetables are grown exclusively year
after year on large tracts, but prices
in the Los Angeles market are high
as soon as the first frost makes its APP
pearance and this may occur any night
between November and April and in
most years there are several frosts
during that period. But it is the San
Francisco market that offers the great
est inducements to the Hawaiian plan
ter, not to mention other cities further
north. During the last season the first
frost occurred in California during the
first half of February and the San
Francisco market reports show the
following prices for some of the staple

COMING TO THEIR OWN.
"A MAN with conscience is Of
IA ten provoking, sometimes i'm
IF.assS possible. Persuasion is lost
sSsss&2y upon him. He will not get
angry, and he looks at one with such
faraway expression in his face that in
striving to persuade him one feels
earthly and even fiendsh. At least
this was my experience with Craig.
He spent week with me just before
he sailed for the old land for the pur
pose, as he said, of getting some of the
coal dust and other CRIME out of him.
He made me angry the last night of
his stay and all the more that he re-
manned quite sweetly unmoyed. 1t
was a strategic mistake of mine to tell
him how Nelson came home to us and
how Graeme stood up before the var
sity chaps at my supper and made his
confession and confused Rattray's easy
stepping profanity and started his own

TO IMPROVE
CAR SERVICE
General Manager David
Young Has a TAX With
Mayor Pag an Over
Company's Plans
MORE POWER AHEAD
Than Forty A aditIoaal Cars
win Be Placed on the
Different Lines.

Mayor Pagan and General Manager
David Young of The North Jersey Street
Railway Company had long conference
in the Mayors office this morning i'll re-
gard to the letter CT complaint which
His Honor sent to the company few
days ago.
Corporation Attorney Carey answered
in behalf of the Mayor after the confer
ence that Mr.. Young explained that the
company was unable to run all the cars
it desired because it was able to use
only one generator. A contract had been
entered into for new generator, but
it has not been delivered. i is expected
to arrive in a month CT two.
Mr.. Young. according to Mr.. Carey,
said that an arrangement had been made
whereby the North Jersey will get addi-
tional power from the North Hudson's 5
power house at Palisade avenue. On
January 20 the company expects Ito pat
on forty extra cars as result Of secu1-
ing additional power.
New generating machines will be put
in the North Jerseys power house as
soon as possible to supply all the power
that is required to cary out the COM
pany's plans to improve the service.
Mr.. Carey said that Mr.. Young ex-
planned that much of the trouble encoun-
tered bg the company, il operating its
ears was due to fact that lower Mont
gomery STREET is crowded the greater part
of Ihe time by trucks.
1t was agreed that police regulations
could be adopted which will relieve the
situation providing that trucks going to
and from the ferry during rush hours
should use treets cthe.' than Montgomery
street.
Mr.. Young agreed to station a thirty
I two foct car, which will be kept clean,
well heated and well lighted, on the
east track at the ferry terminal, to be
used as a waiting room all night long
after rush hours. The waiting room on
wheels will be established on Monday.
Mr.. Young said he would do all i'll his
power to plan for transfer stations at
the Junction and at Montgomery street
and Bergen avenue for the accommoda-
tion of passengers.
/ A proposition was made that transfer
tickets be issued to men employed III the
factories on the West Side, 50 they may
/ ride on the West Side and Newark cars
/ BY the payment of only one fare.
The extension ofg the West Side lfnc
was discussed. The tracks are laid as
| Tar as Audubon avenue but the cars only
60 to Culver avenue. Mr.. Young said
that hereafter some of the cars will be
run through to the end of the lneNto ac-
comodate anybody who wishes to ride.
Mr.. Young said the company is willing
| to do anything in its power that is reas-
onamle TO please the public.

at Pagan and Records
Conduct.


When ex-Mayor James NJ Seymour,
Of Newark, was spoken to about Mayo
Fagan's action nj appointing a Street

and when he was informed about Mr..

vantage of it to appoint a Democratic
Board for Newark, Newark's ex-Mayor
was more amused at such a childish
piece Of nonsense.

all worried about that" said Mr.. Sey-
mour. Il should not have taken any
such action even if had known of his

spices of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and the Interdenomi-

ject will he, 'Polygamy in Utah..
DIR. Elliott is a most interesting
speaker, has ben a missionary among the
Mcrmons, practicing physician and a
deaconess of the Episcopal Church. She
has had exceptional opportunity to study
the polygamy question from an eight
Years residence in Utah.
1t is proposed to present to Congress
an anti-poIygamy amendment to the con-
stitution of the Unitel States, SO that
poiygamy shall be forever prohibited,
therefore the w. G. Il. u. under whose
auspices the lecture is arranged, hopes
that everyone VIII be desrous to gain all
the information possible on this ques
ton. The concerted action of patriotic
women has already driven a polygamise
from Congress. they say, ard concerted
action in favor of the cnnst:tut onal
amendment will deflu@ne polygamy and
drive it from America forever.
IT IS hoped fhc CHURCHES and every
