FARMERS IN
STITU7E HERE
Meeting Of Vast Importance 10 Farmers
and the Public Generally.
ADDRESSES BY PROMINENT PEOPLE
Interesting Program Being Ar
ranged by Committee.

Pro-. II. T. French, of the Uni
versity Of Idaho, has announced
March q and 25 as the dates for
the Farmers Institute to be held
at this place Supt. French will
be accompanied by Hon. G. l.
Smith of Minnesota, who is well
known through the western states,
and Mr.. A A. Hansen, a promin-
nent creamery man. Every farm
er on the prairie should attend
these meetings, as they will be
both instructive and entertaining.
A few words as to the purpose Of
these meetings follow: ''rhey are
held at various points throughout
the state under the auspices of the
State University at Moscow, with
the assistance of the people where
the Institute is held. 1t is the in
tention Of the board Of regents to
hold as many of these meetings as
the means at their command will
warrant. These institutes are in
no way political. They do not rep
resent any faction whatever, de-
sirious Of putting its principles be-
fore the public. They do not pro-
fess to afford opportunities to
farmers on the one hand and pro-
fessors of the University and ex-
pertinent station on the other, to
exchange ideas and experiences in
agricultural affairs.
They have proved to be one ol
the best means of gaining informa.
ton regarding practical points ol
farm, garden, orchard and house
hold management. The authori
ties in charge of the work, feeling
that the meetings are successful
only SO far as they are attended by
farmers. and others who are in
terested in agriculture, and horti
culture, earnestly ask your pres
ence and participation in the dis
cussions, with the assurance tina
such act on your part will prove
of mutual advantage to yoursel
and community in general. Thes'
meeting are always free to all; nj
admittance fee being charged a
the door. Ladies are always
especially invited and asked to tax,
part in the programs and discuss
ions.

MCKINNEY IN
COUNT Y JAIL
Grand Larceny Charged Stolen Goods
Found In His Possession.
CONFESSES HIS GUILTY TO CHARGE
Had Long Been a Trusted Em-
plOye.

c. Ferd Mckinney, up to March
l an employe of the Bargain Store
Co., Ltd, was arrested Monday on
complaint charging grand larceny,
sworn to by Il. ID. Richardson of
that company. Mel Ninney had
been in the employ of the company
for considerable time and had gain
ed the entire confdeu uce Of his en-
ployers and up to the discovery of
his thefts was considered an exem-
plary young man.
The management OF the store
company became aware Of his ac-
tons during February and on the
Goth the complaint was made and
a warrant issued and placed in the
hands of Constable Jerry Baker
who kept him under surveillance,
pending a prospective 3 settlement,
until Monday when the warrant
was turned over to Sheriff Seay
who promptly placed Mckinney in
the county Jail.
The matter was k ept from the
public as far as possible and at the
time of the arrest the true state of
affairs was known I'd very few
people.
On Tuesday Mckinney, with
his counsel, w. N. Scales, appear
ed before j. E. Jaqu ues, the magis-
trate before whom the complaint
was filed, and asked that the hear
ing be set for Wednes sday at 10 a.
m Yesterday morn ing before 10
O'Clock arrived, a n ew complaint
, was filed charging the defendant
with the felonious ia king from the
Bargain Store Company, goods,
wares and merchandise, setting
out the specific items in the sum
of s103.69
Shortly after 10 O. clock the de-
fendant and counsel appeared and
stated to the court that they wish
ed to enter plea of guilty to the
complaint as charged. The court
desired counsel to wait until the
arrival of the county attorney, but
the defendants attorney insisted
that the plea of guilty be entered
upon the minutes and requested
the court to set the time for pass
ing sentence, contending that COM
plaint charged only petty larceny.
At this time the co unity attorney
asked leave of the curt to dismiss
the case.
: A warrant was asked for on the
: new complaint to which the de-
| fendant objected for the reason
/, that it was placing him in jeopardy
twice for the same offense, stating
that the state had 40 right to dis
) miss after plea of guilty had been
entered. The court on motion OF
, the county attorney dismissed the
| first complaint and refused to fix
!, time for passing sen ntence, and the
case was continued until l o'clock
, The case was called in the after
} noon and the second complaint
! dismissed, the prosecuting attorney
/ stating he had no objection to the
: first action being reinstated, and
the defendants plea OF guilty en-.
: tered.
: Another complaint was then filed
against the defendant and hearing
set for today at 9 a. m. Bail was
placed at $500.

SIXTEEN THOUSAND
TONS OF SUGAR
WAlLUKU PLANTATION TO BE
ENLARGED TO THAT CAPAC.
lTY WITHIN TWO YEARS.
WATHEE DITCH TKEFACT0R
New Lands to Be Cultivated Be-
ycnd Waikapu. H. c. & S.
Co., and WaiIuku Sugar Com
pany Have Buried The Hatchet.

Sixteen thousand tons of sugar
where less than eight thousand tons
per year now grow IS he promise of
the Wailuku Sugar c.. and as the
land Is now available and the water
will be available upon the completion
of the big Waihee ditch. there is no
doubt but that the Company will
make good their promise within the
rext few years.
the Wailuku Sugar Plantation,
formerly consisting of the separate
plantation, the Waikapu, the Wal
luku and the Waihee, was many years
ago consolidated and inco. porated
with capitalization of 800, 600 aud
later placed under the mana gemen.
OF G. 3. Wells, since which time il has
proved vcritable gold mine to its
stockholders, paying an annual per.
centage of dividends which would
sound fabulous to the average main
land capitalist.
Nature has perhaps done more for
the Waikiki Sugar Plantation than
for any other plantation or the Is
lands. The soil is rich and conpara
lively level, with a gentle slope to
the sea. Four gushing mountain
streams furnish constant supply OF
water rot only to irrlgate the cane
but also to hume a large part OF it
from the fields where it grows to the
mill.
The proposition of increasing the
capital stock and of building a new
mill have been under serious con-
siderati0n by the directors of the
Company for the past year or so, and
at a meeting held in Honolulu on
November IL, both steps were decided
ucon by the management. The cap.
ital stock has been increased to 81,
500, 900, so that 100000 worth Of
new stock is 10 be issued. Even with
this increase In the capital stock the
shares will undoubtedly command a
premium, so that presum bly, the pre-
sent stockholders will take up all the
new stock, leaving none for outside
investors. A new mill is to be erect
ed probably on or near the site OF
the present mill, as soon as this years
crop is ground, and the new mill will
probably be completed by December
/, 1905.
An immense canal or ditch, under
the supervision of James T. TAYLOR,
c. E., is being surveyed from Wal.
hee which will extend to large area
OF land bt tween 'Waikapu and Maa.
laea Bay, thus largely increasing the
tills BILE area OF the Plantation. 1t is
extimatcd that it will take about two
years to complete this ditch, and
when finished, the Wailuku Sugar
Plantation may safely be figured as
$4,000 ton proposition.
To those who desire the best in-
terests OF all concerned it will be
gra tifying to learn that the unfort-
unate differences between the Wal.
luku Sugar Go. and the H. C. & S.
