 It WEI te seen tEat the increase in the decade from 1873 to 1883 was near ly 1Gr.O00.Go0 pounds; from 1883 to 1893, about 2Oo.O0OOOO pounds, and from 1893 to 1903 ahout 5OO,OOO.O0O pounds The development Of sugar production during the first decade was in bringing under cultivation lands capable of producing sugar without ir- rigaticn; during the second decade ir. rigation was applied in the least difli- cult sections; during the third decade the development of irrigation and ap- piication of high grade modern ma Chinery to production greatly develop ed. The irrigation 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 applica- tion of water by artificial methods. More than .cne-half of the sugar Of Hawaii is now produced from irrigated lands.
 Iii development of Hawaiian sugar production American tcapital and American energy have been the chief factors. A statement recently received from a nigh authority in Hawaii by he bureau of Statistics indicate that about $10O. .000 eco of capital from the United States have been invested in Hawaii since the reciprocity treaty Of 1876. large part of this having been so invested since annexation, in 1893. This development since annexation in the increased inv estments 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 90 per cent in the sugar produc- uOn Of tEe islands, the production of 1897 being 5G2000C0O pounds; that of 1903, S4e.C0C0J0 pounds.
 The Hawaiian islands now stand third in ,he list of sections producing cane sugar for eXportation. Curiously, all of the great care sugar exporting spots of the world are islands. Cuba stands at the head of the list, with an annual eXportatloR under normal cor .litions of over 2.O00. .0G0.C10 pounds: Java next, with an average annual pc duction Of 1,50o, ,0O0, GOO pounds, while the Hawaiian islands have now near lv reached the 1.COG, G,0OO.OO0 mark. China and India are also large pro ducers of cane sugar. but consume practically all of their production, their exportation being small.
 Sugar production in the Hawaiian islands has developed much more rap idly during the last thirty years than in any other cane producing section Of the woTl1. The proGuction iR Java grew from 432,32O, eco pounds in 1875 to 1,SS7,S99,G00 pounds in 1908, or less than five tines as much in 1903 as in 1875. Cuba has increased it's produc- ton from 1,736.O0G,O ,OO0 pounds iu 1878 to 2,1S2, 600 coo in 1903. while that ofI Hawaii. as already indicated, has grown from 23.o0O,OG1 pounds in 1873 to S4J.- OOO,O ,OO0 in 1903. Thus. Jaya's produc- ton is now less than five times that of 1873; that of Cuba has increased less than 50 per cent, while that of Hawai-

has been made of this right-ofway. by
either the counties through which is runs

Homesteaders, in filing on claims through
which this right-of-way runs, the num-
Der of acres taken up was reserved in
