Bishop Van Buren, on Porto Rico.

In the September number of the
Reader magazine the Right Rev. JAMES
H. VAN buren,, d. D., Missionary Bishop
OF Porto Rico presents an interesting
and seemingly judicial review of con-
ditons in that island. He declares
that those conditions ARE neither so
good nor so bad as they have been rep
resented"
In stating that unqualified satisfac-
ton with results attained is possible
only to him who does not look beneath
the surface he makes a shrewd thrust
at that official group and it's supporters
by whom we have been assured that the
Porto Ricans are happy, contented
and prosperous. He admits scarcity
OF employment, low wage rates. high
rentals, the baneful result OF absentee
ism Of Spanish landlords, loss Of market
for coffee, the islands most important
product, and sundry other features
which have been emphasized in tales Of
insular distress. His comment upon the
economic phases would seem to support,
in general, the assertions Of various
bankers. merchants and boards Of
trade and commerce, all Of whom have
pictured Porto Rico as land of sore
distress and poverty. But he says that
many of these doleful pictures are drawn
entirely for political effect, that the suf-
fering has been greatly exaggerated,
and that sweeping criticism comes
from the pessmist who reads only the
opposition papers.
We agree with DR., VAN buren, in be-
lieving that both sides have laid on their
colors with liberal hand, the one as
sorting prosperity and the other painting
pitiable distress. But health statis-

INFORMATION
ABOUT BANANAS
EASTERN INQUIRY ANSWERED IN
DETAIL BY BOARD OF AGRICUL-
TURE AND FORESTRY.

The Board Of Agriculture and Fores-
try yesterday afternoon decided upon
the answer to be sent to the letter of
inquiry from Costa RIGA regarding
the banana industry. The letter, pre-
pared by j. p. Dole and j. f. Brown of
the committee on agriculture. is as fol-
lows:

Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of
March 2lst inquiring as to the posi-
bilities of banana growing in the Ha-
waiian Islands, We take pleasure in Civ
ing you the following information:
In order to make the subject clear to
you, We will at once explain that while
the bulk of the Hawaiian bananas are
grown on the island of oahu, and ship
ped through the port of Honolulu, ap-
parently the greatest opportunity for
development of the business is on the
larger island of Hawaii with ship
ments through the port of Hilo. Ba-
nanas are now being shipped from Hilo
to San Francisco and also from the
port of Kahului, on the island of Maui.

quently than once a month, so the diff
ticulty is chiefly one of transportation.
1t lis, however unlikely that there
would be any difficulty in obtaining
transportation for bananas, once there
were large shipments available.
From Honolulu, there are usually
from four to six steamers a month,
and they take from five to seven days
in making the assage to San Francisco.
Taking Up your list of questions, we
will answer them in order.

ing letter from the Land Office con-
corning the opportunity to secure land
here for banana growing:
y. D. Dole, Com. on Ayr. Wahiawa.
Oahu.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 9th inst.
received and l hardly know how to an
swer same. If l only knew to what
extent this party desired to go into
the banana business l could give a
more definite answer to his inquiry.
You of course know that the lands
above Hilo are producing a fine crop
of bananas but the growers appear to
be at the mercy of the California
Fruit Growers Union q think that is
their title), and l am told that these
California people handle the market to
suit themselves and that the Hawai-
ian banana grower must take their
prices or, if the shipment is of any
extent go outside of the States for a
market
I'VE have many leases falling in soon
all along the Hamakua coast. and so
will have much land availble for ba-
mana culture. The value of the land
runs from "a per acre for land not
to 500 or 1925 per acre for land
that has been cleared.
The cost of clearing averages about
$50 per acre. This land can be tax
en- up under the various conditions of
our law, the amount being 900 acres
on time payment, and 1000 acres on
cash sales. However, you are familiar
with our avs and l need not repeat
the conditions.
we have smaller patches or remnants
at various places about the island
that would grow fine bananas-for in
stance l hope to open up several hun
dred acres in Palolo valley, but in this
case 1 would like to settle this land in
small portions, just enough for the
ordinar" family to handle. You see I
am back to the fact that don't know
how much your correspondent wants
to handle. l find this difficulty with
nearly all those who inquire about our
Iands-a man wants to go into the cat
tie business, another wants land to
support angora goats, another to raise
coffee or pines, and 1 always have to
ask them how much land they can
handle before 1 can give them loca-
lion and prices. l suppose this an
5wer will be very unsatisfactory to
you, but it is the best l can do under
The circumstances. Very truly yours,

Commissioner of Public Lands"
