owners present to advance their
arguments for or against the order.
He insisted that it was in ill-taste
for county officials holding Office for
nearly a quarter Of a century to
protest against improving the city
where improvements were needed.
He remarked that he was. surprised
at one other official signing the
remonstrance and only regretted
that be was not present that he
might tell him publicly what he had
told Mr.. Evans.
Auditor Tompkins was present
and favored the walk very strongly,
but he hoped that the council would
first establish grades on the street
that would remain permanent for
all time to come G.. Z. Tobias, who
owns half a block of land affected.
protested against the order for the
reason that he was too poor to pay
for the same this year J. A.
Schmahl, as one of the owners of a
piece of vacant property, favored
the order.
j. L. Thompson protested against
the order for a walk in front of his
property on Chestnut street, and J.
P. Smith protested against the order
for walk on Jefferson from the
court house to Chestnut, insisting
that no proper grade had been
established.
Mr.. Cooper again took fall out
of petitioners by saying that they
had used the walks built by resi-
dents on other sides of the streets
for 20 or % years, and there could
be no valid reason why they should
not now build walks for their neigh
bors to walk upon. He thought it
was wrong for them to demand
otherwise, and said that spectators
ought to be the first to encourage
good sidewalk building. Judge
Bowers recognized that his neigh
bors on Chestnut street were not in
good financial circumstances, but
insisted that if walk was ordered
it ought to be from East street to
Minnesota avenue, and that the
assessment should be extended over
a period OF three years.

the aggrieved parties are preparing
the papers for action on the com
pany in case the latter does not
settle the claim, and the company
does not seem to be in any hurry
about the latter. One of the ag-
grieyed parties informed THE GA
zETTE Friday that the company had
not yet made any advances, and
that the papers in an action would
probably be served this week.
George B. Hughes, who is repre-
senting the new commission firm of
Charles E. Lewis & Co., and which
concern opened an office last week,
thinks the fifteen minute quotations
are great deal better than con-
tinual reports from the ticker 1t
was while he was agent for McVick-
err at this place that fifteen minute
quotations were received, but the
patrons became dissatisfied and
wanted the quotations continual and
instantaneous. Mr. Hughes thinks
that a man can't make a good in
vestment by watching the reports
from second to second. He will re-
ceive 10 minute quotations from the
Lewis company.
The general feeling is that mas
much as the loss of the two citizens
in question was so large, there
will be no more business before an
other commission firm here-not
even the Coe offspring.
THE GAZETTE has been accused of
being unfair with the parties inter-
ested. Before the article of last
week was published it was sent to
the heaviest loser for correction and
every suggestion made was carried
out

rived here from Minneapolis on
Tuesday afternoon of last week,
after THE GAZETTE went to press.
1t was claimed that he was sent
here after the company received the
demands of the two citizens who
claimed erratic reports at the Coe
Office in this city as basis for their
demands for getting back the money
which they had turned over to the
company. But Mr.. Morton, who is
an exceptionally pleasant gentle
man, and one who seems to thor
oughly understand the business,
denied having anything to do with
these demands. His business here
was to bring about the payment of
drafts made by his company
on two of the citizens to protect
their margins. Last week it
was stated that there was only one
of these drafts, but recent develop
ments indicate that there were
three CT more, and for a total
of 50, 900 which the company claims
was due it on margins which it had
protected for it's customers. The
latter, as stated last week, feeling
that the correct quotations were not
being made, refused the payments
of the drafts when they were pre-
scented, and it is stated that Mr..
Morton did not get any satisfaction
out of them after spending until
Thursday afternoon in Redwood
Falls. Mr.. Morton returned to Min
neapolis. 1t appears, however, that
the company has control of stocks
and bonds OF one of the parties
which are more than enough to in
demnify it for $4,000 of the loss
of margins by one of the parties.
The other party gave Mr.. Morton
the "horse laugh for So, 900.
The company blames its local
agent for not collecting on these
margins, and it is stated, that it
proposes to hold him for the loss.
It is claimed that the relations on
these unpaid margins have become
so strained that Mr.. Theiring was
relieved of his position for an in
definite period.

MAYOR 6OOPER'S
HOT SHOT" AT
JUDGE EVANS
Bad Taste for a Public Official
to ResistsT Public I'M

Jude Evans Insists that He is in
no Financial Condition to
Build a Walk.

81 think that it is in decidedly
bad taste for man who has held
Office for from 20 to 25 years under
this county to resist public i'm
provements," was the hot remark
that Mayor John P. Cooper coldly
shot into Judge of Probate George
L. Evans at the meeting of the city
council last Thursday evening.
This remark was brought out by
reason of the fact that Mr.. Evans
presented aremonstrance signed by
II or Ii of the property holders
along the north side of Wyoming
street, from East street to Ramsey,
protesting against an order for the
construction of cement sidewalks
along the entire side of that street
for the distance mentioned. When
Mr.. Evans presented the remon-
STRANGE, and it was read he took the
floor, and made quite an extended
speech against the order for con-
struction, saying that he did not
believe that public necessity re-
quired it, and that number OF the
property owners affected were in no
condition to pay for the same at this
time. He stated that he was not in
a condition financially to build the
walk in front of the property re-

The Honolulu times. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1902-1911, 1903-02-01

One has only to remember what
all that stretch of land almost from
the outskirts of Honolulu to the
outskirts Of Waianae used to be.
In rainy times weeds used to spring
up copiously, in the dry season
they died down, and the dust usc'l
to rise in little whirl winds gather
ing in force as it gyrated to the sea.
No small farmer ever wanted any
of that land. He could not have
fed a goat off twenty or thirty acres
of it. Now look at it, one magnifi-
cent sweep of cane, from the fooT
hills to the very sea beach, AMI
across the lagoon on to the Islands,
which formerly only raised Alga-
roba for fire wood. There is labor
for thousands of men, far more
Americans and Europeans are "n-
ployed on these plantations than
ever would be found on small
farms. and the merchants and I'M
porters make their profit, nay, even
theCali fornia Manufacturers maxi
their profit, and the viticulturalis,s
make their profit, out of those mag
nifcent fields of cane. Would thcY
make these profits if this land was
cut up into homesteads, which no
one would take For to keep those
fields fertile, immense pumps work
ing night and day pour water
drawn from the bowels of the earth
upon the fields. millions upon mil
lions of gallons, and pumps mean
capital, coal, labor, which no small
farmer could pay for.
But as waspointe d out a para
graph is not going to destroy the
sugar industry of this Territory.

nor have we any destructive insects

the hop lice. On the mainland tie
farmers expect to fight pests and
do fight them successfu fully, but here
the disposition is to throw of wits
and remedies. The worst feature
of it all is that the presence of q
few pests is used to scare away
mainland farmers who are led tc
think that the drawbacks here are
extraordinary while, as a matter Of
truth, they are less serious thai
what the pioneer farmers found in
the states or are finding in Califor-
MIA now.
When the Eastern farmer made
a clearing in the woods he had to
contend with ten pests the Hawai-
ian agriculturist has to meet ol!c.
Let us say that he planted corr.
First he had to protect the seed
against the crows, the squirrels,
chipmunks, wild turkeys and ordi,,'
airy birds. When the tender shoots
appeared various destructive worms
came to prey on them and if there
were any deer in the neighborhool
they raided the field whenever thev
could. Later when the ears ripe'l-
ed the coons made midnight foray'.
1t was one long fight for the farmer
and he was not safe even after he
had put his crop in the barn, for
then he had to look out for rats,
mice, and squirrels. However, he
kept everlastingly at it and finally
won even in the face of cheapen-
ing market and usurious freight
rates. What wa strue of his corn
was true of most of his other crops.
If he tried fruit trees there were
woodchucks to gnaw the yours,
saplings, long winters to freeze
them, worms to devour the leaves,
insects to sting the fruit. But the
farmer held on and did his part IN
building up the gigantic industry
which now feeds half the world.

VISITED MONTAUK POINT.
Pleasant Trip Of Large Party on Steamer
larcmont Sunday.

A warm September sun and a fresh
ening breeze greeted the pleasure seekers
who several hundred strong boarded the
steamer Larchmont at the JOY Line dock
Sunday morning and started on the con-
cluding excursion OF the popular series.
II was nearly 10 o'clock when the shore
line was cast off and the party was trans
ported down the ever-beautiful bay,
through the west passage and past the
forts to Point Judith. The ocean was in
a placid mood and hardly more than a
ripple disturbed it's surface as the steam
er proceeded along the Sound toward
Long Island Several schools OF por-
poises played about the steamer AFFORD
ing much amusement TO the passengers
and A pair OF the big FISH rolled and
bobbed about ahead OF the craft for sew
eral minutes
The steamer entered the little bay which
lndents Long Island. about p m and
about Is minutes later the people were
given a chance 10 go ashore and visit the
famous camp ground where the regular
soldiers were landed on their return from
fighting the Spaniards in Cuba.
The return trip commenced about 4 p. m.
and a fog bank settled down and shut out
the shore from view giving the somewhat
novel sensation OF being out OF sight OF
land until long after the craft had en-
tered the lower bay.
The fine orchestra discoursed sweet mu-
sic in the main saloon during the re-
turn trip and several parties Of singers
In different sections Of the steamer gave
impromptu concerts.
When well past jamestown the fog
cleared and the tired excursionists were
given pleasing view OF the bay by star
light.

PROSPERITY IN NORTHWEST.

Mitchell, South Dakota, Sept. 3d.
The South Dakota idea this year is to
emphasize the riches of this state.
When it is confidently stated that this
year for the sixth consecutive year
South Dakota will lead all other states
in the greatest per capita wealth, it
can readily be understood why South
Dakota is ambitious to advertise its
crops and resources.
The report of fortnight ago regard
ing the heavy fall of snow and dam
age done to the crops by frost, now
appears to have been false alarm.
This is the judgment of a party of
newspaper men and representative of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Ry.
who have made a trip of more than
1900 miles through the state during
the last ten days. The greatest esti-
mate of damage that is now made by
those in a position to know is, three
per cent damage to corn crop of the
state. In the rich agricultural section,
in the valley of the Missouri River,
crops appear to splendid advantage.
Occasionally one finds fields where
there has been perhaps too much wa
ter and the crops are somewhat late,
but this is the exception.
The following is a conservative esti-
mate of the products of the state and
their value for 1903:
