a pineapple field is a wonder to stranger
Many expect to see bushes or even trees,
instead of the uniform rows of plants low,
but considerably larger than cabbages, with
their long spiky leaves, and solid heads of
heavy fruit. Several hundred acres of
these may be found on those upland farms.
Utilization of Water Power.
On our northwesternmost Island of
Kauai are ten plantations producing about
65 900 tons of sugar annually, or over one
sixth of the whole Hawaiian crop. That
island is now taking the lead, by under
taking a large development of electric
power from certain lofty and copious water
falls in secluded ravines on the north sac
of the island. Heavy tunneling for that
purpose is now in active progress con-
tract for the machinery is now being closed
at San Francisco. The work is being done
for the McBryde Sugar Company OF l2,ooo

Volcano Again Active.
We are much pleased to hear of a quite
active appearance of fiery lava five days
ago in the pit of Hale-a-maumau, in the
crater of Kilauea. 1t is reported to be Ringing
I'D Jets of lava fifty feet high. In conse-
uuence the steamer Kinau started yester-
day on special trip with thirty passengers
to visit the volcano. 1t would be prema-
ture to express any confidence in consid-
cradle or long continued fiery activity such
as we were accustomed to until 1892. But
it is quite possible that this is renewal OF
the good old times. Just before this firing
up a large crowd of foreign tourists had
visited the Volcano House and the smoking
pit, but left a day or so before the lively
entertainment.
Honolulu has been profiting by large
accession of tourists, crowding our me
hotels Some fifty of them sailed for san
Francisco yesterday, per steamship Mon
golia. The weather during their visit has
been the perfection of our Hawaiian win
ter COOL clear and bracing. The mercury
has ranged steadily between minimum OF
III degrees in early morning to maximum
of II degrees at 3 pm, with little variation
for weeks For the comfort OF our Vlsltors,
this winter has been nearly ralniess anu
with only light breezes. But for ourselves,
this continuous drought of eight weeks -
becoming a severe trial. Our pastures are
falling and our city water supply, Iro"
Nuuauu valley, is giving out and becoming
imnure We hope our tourist friends Will
report well of US and of the good times
they have enjoyed here.

The San Francisco call., 1905-03-19


Z two great events in
its operatic history; ~
the production of Par
sifaI' and the appearance OF
Caruso. San Francisco may be -
away out on the fringe of the
wild and woollv West, but we have
retrazzini's word for it that San Fran
cisco has musical appreciation. If that
were not enough We have the Metro
politan Opera-house Company, with its
strongest stars, songbirds who are at
the very zenith of a world fame,
brought out here and displayed in all
their glittering plumage with all the
wonderful scenic appurtenances to en-
hance their personalities that have
made the Metropolitan Opera-house
productions the talk of the world.
ParSifal,'' that sublime evidence of
the Wagnerian genius, had never been
produced outside of the Wagnerian
Theater at Bayreuth until Conreid pro-
duced it at New York in the winter of
1903. arousing an enthusiasm that was
national. And now, thanks to the
courage and determination with which
Mr.. COnreid fought for what he be-
lieved to be his right to wrest Richard
Wagner's work from the exclusive
grasp of Bayreuth. California will be
enabled to enjoy that famous work
without crossing the Atlantic or the
Pacific It has universally been con-
ceded by all Americans who have wit
messed both the Wagnerian productions
at Bayreuth and the COnreid produc-
lions at the Metropolitan Opera house
that the Bayreuth production never
approached even remotely in majesty
and splendor the production put on by
COnreid.
The artists entrusted with the pro-
duction of the Wagner drama are at
the present hour unrivaled in their re-
spective characters. They will include
Lillian Nordiea, unQuestionably the
greatest dramatic soprano in the world
who viii alternate in the role of Kun
dry with Olive Fremstadt, who has
been described as the most radiantly
beautiful woman on the operatic
stage" Alois Burgstaller. the greatest
Of living German tenors, will sing the
stitle role, and Anton Van Rooy, the
greatest Of German barytones, win sing
the character of Amfortas. Otto Co.
ritz, who enjoys an eminence almost
as great as that of Van Rooy will sing
the role Of K.ingsor, and Robert Blass,
the great role of Gornemanz. The
opera will be conducted by Alfred
Hertz, whose conducting of the per-
formances Of "ParsifaI' in New York
gained for him a most eminent repute
The biggest feature on the Italian
side Of the opera season will undoubt-
edly be the appearances of Caruso,
whose voice has been proclaimed by en-
thusiastic admirers as the most re-
markable voice of any living tenor II
we may believe all the stories that drift
out to this coast his voice possesses
many of the qualities that made the
voice of Marion his day the Idol
of grand opera -goers-famous. aided by
individual characteristics which in a
remarkably short time have made En-
rico Caruso the wonder of two conti-
Dents. His first successes were scored

In E"Parsifal' also will be heard un-
uuestionably the greatest of living Ger

staller, who is not "a years oio, was porn
in the mountain country Of Upper Ba-
varia where he lived until manhood the
simple life of peasant mountatneer- In
1892 he was discovered by Levy, the
famous Munich impresario, who was SO
greatly impressed with the beauty ana
nromise of the young mans voice that
he persuaded the young mans family
to let him take him to Bayreuth-
There under Frau COlima Wagner. he
studied for six years, devoting himself
chiefly although not exclusively, tc
Wagner. In 1896 he sang the part OF
young siegfried. also the mature
and Froh in "Das Rheingold-"
In 1898 he sang Parsifal and Seig-
fried in 'sWalkuere." He starred at
various times between 1896 and 1902
in Holland, Russia, France and Ger
many, singing the chief tenor parts in
the Ring des Nibelungen" and several
other roles among them Max In Der
Freischutz." Floristan in "FideliO" and
Hans in Siegfried Wagner's opera.
Der Barenhauter" In 1902, with Van
Dyck and other eminent artists. he ap-
peared in series Of Wagnerian per-

direction alternately of Mottl and
Richter. the part of mature Siegfried

which was once so hostile to Wagner
and to all things German was most en-
Ihusiastic.

THE BOND REPEATING
ORDINANCE.

The lone Echo says that the ordi-
nance passed by the supervisors, re-
pealing subdivision 3 of section of
Ordinance No 118, relating to the Civ
ing of bonds by tho ." engaged in the
sale of liquor, is defective, and con-
fiIcts with the constitution. An ex-
animation of the ordinance as printed
is sufficient to show that this con-
tention is probably correct. Section
"a of Article of the state constitu-
tion reads as follows:
No law shall be revised
or amended by reference to its title !;
but in such case the act revised or
section amended shall be re enacted
and published at length as revised or
amended.
1t will not be disputed that this
provision applies to laws passed by
the supervisors, as we'll as general
laws passed by the legislature. Now
the ordinance referred to disposes of
the matter in this off hand fashion.
The board of supervisors of the
county of Amador, state of Califor-
MIA, do ordain as follows:
Section l. Subdivision of section
of ordinance No lis, providing for
the filing of bond in the sum of
one thousand dollars, in support of
a permit being granted to conduct a
saloon for retailing liquor and cigars
in the county of Amador, state of
California, passed and approved by
the board of supervisors of the coun-
ty of Amador, state of California, on
the 7th day of June, 1904, is hereby
repealed.
The whole of section is not re-
enacted nor published at length, but
merely subdivision thereof.
The question arises if this repeal
ing ordinance is invalid and void by
reason of this non on-compliance with
the provisions of the organic law,
how will it effect those persons en-
gagged in the liquor business who act
under its provisions. 1t may be said
that the ordinance is law until ii
has been declared otherwise by the
court. But in the event of test
case, and the court holding that the
ordinance was improperly passed, and
therefore void, it would simply
revive the subdivision as it stood be-
fore; that is the provision regarding
the $1,000 bonds would still be in
force. Would the bondsmen be liable
for the action of the principal in the
selling of liquor within the prescrib-
ed limits of the Preston school?
These are questions that should be
carefully looked into, and no doubt
will be fully considered before any
decisive step is taken.

AN ARGUMENT FOR
INCORPORATION.

Last week we called attention to
the fact that Amador county, through
its board of supervisors, had ignored
a request for a donation toward the
repair of the cemetery fence, which
incloses the burying place of the de-
cedents from the county hospital.
This action is so pregnant with mean
ing to the citizens of jackson that we
think it not out of place to discuss
it at greater length. We are free to
say that the turning down of so just a
request was perhaps due to prejudice
against the county seat, rather than
the result of deliberative action after
a full and careful investigation of the
merits of the proposition. Whatever
motive prompted them, we cannot
believe their reputation of the coun-
tvs dead will be sustained by the un-
prejudiced citizen, no matter in what
part of the county his lot may be cast.
The argument, if we may dignity it
by that term, that because the hos
pital is located at Jackson, it is the
duty of Jackson's people, and not of
the people of the entire county, to
look after the burial place of the hos
pitfalls dead, needs no refutation.
1t is too preposterons to require an
answer. 1t would be just as reason
able to ask jackson to feed and clothe
and maintain the hospital patients
during life, as to require that the
town take charge of their remains
after death. The one duty involves a
much larger expenditure than the
other, but they both stand on the same
footing. The authority that is charged
with the duty of malntaing the
living indigents, cannot escape the
responsibility of providing and caring
for the place of interment. But be-
cause the town of jackson has in g
great measure relieved the county OF
this duty in the past, the board of su.
pervisors have no right to assume
that the county can impose this bur.
den upon them entirely and contin.
uously.
This incident, more than anything
that has occurred for long time,
ought to convince the people that the
incorporation of Jackson is the only
way of protecting the town against
such injustice. Unincorporated Jack
son, is powerIess. The graveyard it
self is under the jurisdiction of the
supervisors. They can refuse to ap
propIite money for its proper care
and can decline to let go to the citi
zens who would take care of it. With
incorporation, however, it would i'm
mediately pass under the control OF
the city government. The burial OF
indigents one on top of another
would be stopped, and the county
compelled to look up plot of its
own for cemetery, and take care Of
it with county funds. That seems
the only feasible way of solving the
