AGENCY OF OLAA
MAY Be CHANGED
NEW CAPITAL FROM MAINLAND
SAID TO BE BEHIND THE EN-
TERPRISE-WHAT BERREY SAYS.

Local rumors regarding Olaa Plan
tatiOn are to the effect that there viii
be a change in the agency of the big
Hawaii plantation, and that new capital
from the mainland will be behind the
concern. The visit Of prominent men
connected with the enterprise to San
Francisco i'm connection with the af-
fairs of the b. +. Dillingham; Company
had much to do with Olaa's future. 1t
is not known except to those who have
been conducting negotiations how far
they have gone.
Q. H. Berry's Commercial Agency re-
port has the following regarding the
future of the great plantation:
There are persistent rumors of some
what of a change in business all around
IN Olaa. Plantation affairs, but those in
terested declare positively that as yet
there is nothing definite In the way of
a statement for the business community
or general public The stock has sold
as low as 50 per share. However the
prophets are all at sea. Some insist
that the property will yet prove itself
worthy and others are strangely Of the
opinion that there must be a long wait
for readjustment. Mr.. BottOmley the
head auditor of Bishop & Co., left for
Hilo in Tuesdays steamer, with an as
sistant he spent a week or more IN the
Olaa offices some months ago Mr.. Pax
ton of the Dillingham; Company and
Mr. ThurstOn, an attorney for the Dill
lingham interest, and himself a factor
in Olaa affairs, are yet at the coast.
The great Bank of California, one of
the greatest financial institutions on
the continent is mentioned as a prob
! able element in the Olaa reorganization.
If this be correct then a tiourishing fu-
ture for the enterprise is certainly as
sured.

Weight one end Of candle with a

so that the candle may be put entire

Now light your candle, and, notwith-
standing the unfriendly medium in

to forge slowly to the surface. Again,
the stearine, or fat of which the candle
is composed, will melt toward the
centre more slowly than in the air.
and the wick will burn in a sort of
little well.
The hollow space will contribute to
the tightening of the candle, which
as we have prophesied, will burn on to
the end.
The practical side of this experiment
is worth a word of mention; contrary
to the experience with ordinary can

How Teddy Helped.

Teddy's papa own large cattle
ranch. One summer there was a
drought. The spring dried up and the
streams became trickling rills or dis
appeared Altogether. The cattle wan
dered restlessly over the range in
search of water. Teddy's father sent
to the nearest town and had men come
with steam drills and iron pipes to
bore an artesian well. so that there
would always be plenty of water for
cattle. They bored down several hun
dred feet in hopes of finding an I'M
foreground stream, but they could not
do so, and had to give up the quest
They went away, taking their tools
with them but leaving-what greatly
interested Teddy-a deep hole lined
with iron pipe. He would take the
board off the pipe and peer down, and
then drop in rcck to see how many
he could count before 1t struck the bot
tom.
One night after he had gone to bed
he heard his papa talking to his man.
ma. He said: Last winters blizzard
killed scores of the cattle, and now
this drought comes. They are suffer-
ing for water and better pasture. 1t is
all outgo and no income. / don't
know how long we can keep it up. In
a few years Teddy will be old enough
to help me, but I can't put a 10-year-
old boy on the roundup, nor keep him
all day in the saddle, looking after the
CATTLE"
Teddy did lots of serious thinking
during the next few days. How he
wished he could help his papa in some
way! And the opportunity came in a
way Teddy least expected. One day
he walked over to where the men had
bored for the artesian well. He peered
into it, but it was as black as night.
He gathered handful of long, dry
prairie grass, rolled it in small piece
of birch bark in which he had placed
a piece of rock, lighted it and dropped
it down the well. Then he put his
face close to the edge and watched it
blaze as it fell down and down.
Suddenly long red column of flame
leaped upward with rushing noise.
Before Teddy had time to pull his head
away, the force Of the explosion sent
him rolling over and over away from
the mouth of the well. The flame shot
high up and blazed fiercely for a mo-
ment or two. Teddy was terribly
frightened. His eyes smarted, and he
could see a bright red flame dancing
before him in whichever direction he
looked. With scorched hat and singed
hair, he ran home as fast as he could.
He told his papa what had happened.
His papa went to the well, and when
he came back he said: Teddy, my
boy, think your accident is going to
