PROFITABLE
INDUSTRY
Cotton Would be a Sue
cess i'm Hawaii Says
WahiaWa CoIonist.

Cotton, pineapples and castor beans
are the three crops for Hawaii at which
the small farmer can make a success,
in the opinion of DR.. T.. c. Rhodes, one
of the seven original Wahiawa colo
nists. Pineapples and castor beans
are already paying in Wahiawa and
Mr. Rhodes believes that cotton could
also be made to pay well.
"E. w. Thwing of Wahawa has
number of cotton plants and they are
growing with no care, to large size."
said Mr.. Rhodes. Il am familiar with
cotton in Georgia, where l lived for
two years, but l have never seen it do
so well as does the cotton here. In the
States, cotton has to be planted every
year while here it grows for five or
| ten years without re-planting. And
it grows a great deal larger, too. In
Professor Lyons yard in this city the
cotton would have covered u space
twenty feet square il it had not been
cut out
| first day of May and 1t natures by
September. Then 1t can be picked
four times a year after that. Cotton
grows in alluvial soil, which has to be
we'll cultivated 1t requires plenty Of
water but l believe natural resources
here are sufficient. The soil has to be
well fertlized and well cultivated
The cotton is of better quality
here than in the South. The seed
which always causes so much trouble
can be picked out by hand There the
white fiber adheres closely to the seed
and is source of much trouble. The
industry is one which believe would
be profitable here. The gin mills re-
quired are not expensive and it would
be good industry for the small farm
er. In the South there are many five
and ten acre cotton plantations There
is probably two hundred acres of land
at Wahiawa which would be suitable
for cotton cultivation. The species
here now may be South Sea Island
cotton, which is a better quality than
that grown In the South. l was told
by Professor Alexander today that dur
Ing the war when cotton prices were
almost prOhibltive, cotton was raised
In sufficient quantity here to supply
local needs, and perhaps for export.
When prices dropped after the war,
the industry was given up"
Mr.. Rhodes said that castor bean and
pineapple cultivation was being carried
on with great success at Wahiawa. A
two years contract had been made by
the Wahiawa farmers for the sale of
their pines to the Hawaiian Pineapple
Co.

LOCAL FORTlFlCATlONs.

While 1t is not likely that the criti-

anything to do with the refusal of the

sea forts behind the town We're proper

Honolulu wants forts to save 1t from

VIM. Langton, publisher of the Para.
disc of the Pacific. returned on the
Sierra yesterday from an extended toui
of California. He said that the wealth
er had been cold all the time he was
away. Many of the California people
We're anxious to learn about Hawaii
especially about the pineapple industry
, and he had received many inquiries
from those he met.
Mr.. Langton stated that California
weather was miserably cold and there
weather while he was in San Fran
cisco. The State is filled with tour
lists from the East, and at Los Angeles
Mr.. Langton said, he was compelled 10
wait three hours at one of the largest
hotels, before the clerks had time to
assign him a room.
Every one in California seemed anx-
ious to hear about Hawaii" said MIR.
Langton. They asked many questions.
Quite number wanted to know what
time of the year the snow fell, how
deep it got and whether there was
coasting and skating. I had to confess
that l didn't know anything about it.
They were all anxious to find out about
the climate and the rain.
There are some twenty or thirty
people from Southern California in the
tourist party that came on the Sierra.
Some of them are wealthy business men
of Los Angeles. If they carry back
a good report of Hawaii you can expect
good many more to come.
MANY people are interested in pine
apples. They get all their pines from
Mexico and Central America now and
they are scrubby little things. l picked
up some of them in "A commission house
and told the proprietor that he could
put five on scale and one pineapple
from Hawaii would tip 1t up. He said
he could sell Hawaiian pines for four
and six bits apiece. l believe there Is
difficulty in shipping the fruit from

Il believe that a lot of tourists can
be brought here If the country is adver-

reason Is that It enables the manufac--
turer to use fruit of deficient color and
thus to conceal inferiority. The pres
ervation OF this color is important, as
the appearance of jeies and Jams I'M
doubtedly influence their real value, es-
pecially in the sick room, where they
are used to great extent, but the pos
sibilities of deception as to the quail
ity and purity which the addition Of
coloring matter affords entirely over
balance any argument in its favor. BY
the judicious use OF coal tar colors,
apply jelly favored with currants can
be given the appearance of the pure ar
ticle or a cheap fruit or vegetabl pulp
can be mixed into n JAM jelly made
of glucose and starch may be served to
consumers who demand pure foods.
The use in fruit products of colors Of
vegetable origin is unquestionably near
ly obsolete. as coal tar colors are both
cheaper and more durable. The latter
are always liable to contain metallic
impurities. such as zinc, copper, tin,
lead and arsenic retained during the
process of manufacture. and which,
when introduced into the food, even in
the small quantities that are used, are,
to say the least, source of danger.
While the colors used in the goods
which 1 report on, We're probably not
harmful, still they were used to give
the articles a fictitious appearance and
thereby deceive the purchaser.
In regard to the adulteration enumer-
ated in the report, l have notified the
manufacturers on the mainland that
their goods are adulterated and sold
Illegally in this Territory and have ask
ed them If they can place their goods
on this market properly marked. to
comply with the law, within three
months time.

CORRESPONDENCE
ON THE FINANCES

Governor Carter in acknowledging
by letter the receipt Of Treasurer Ke-
poikais financial statement, suggests
that, besides salaries and payrols,
amounts from the current expense
bill absolutely necessary for maintain
ing the various departments" should be
stated, because las a matter of fact
some departments simply cannot be run
without having more tnan just what
their salaries amount to-"
The Treasurer, replying, in effect adj
mits the desirability of such a fuller
statement but says he is not prepared
to make it at present. He thinks that
information of the kind suggested ought
properly to originate with the heads of
the respective departments.

NO EXTRA SESSION
SAYS M'CANDLESS

II am opposed to a special session If
the Supreme Court decides that the old
appropriations can be used" said Sena-
tor L. L. McCandless yesterday. Il be-
lieve the power rests with the Gov
ernor to cut out unnecessary expendi-
lures If he finds that the departments
are spending more money than they
should. The legislature certainly didn't
intend to require anything impossible
from the Governor and he can't spend
more money than the income of the
Territory. If clerk Is unwilling to
accept a reduction in salary, then the
appropriation can be cut out entirely.
while in the Senate / advocated u
plan which would have saved $500 per
going into effect so soon 1t was not
considered necessary. This was simply
a combination of various bureaus I'M
der the Public Works Department to
save salaries of cashiers and additional
clerks, as well as of extra supervision.
The garbage, road bureau and water
works could all be combined under the
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works. One cashier could handle the
collections for all of the bureaus and
one head would also be sufficient. The
offices could be combined In one and
there would then be no necessity for
full set of bookkeepers and of clerks
in each one. This is plan which
might be tried now with success"

ton. asked for an opinion, stated that
he believed the law referred to the

AN INTERNATIONAL
LAW POINT ARISES

A fine point of international law Is
developing in the trial of the British
bark Ivanhoes libel in admiralty before
Judge Dole. Consul w. r. Hoare was
placed on the stand yesterday, as the

prove the Merchant Shipping Act of
