GREAT CORN CROPS OF KANSAS.
Have Added Immense Sums to the
Wealth Of the Nation.

Wealth Of the Nation.
The value Of the Kansas corn crop
OF 1902 from only Is per cent of her
area, was sufficient to more than five
times cover the cost of the entire
Louisiana purchase and nearly eleven
times as much as the United States
paid for Alaska. Uncle Sans reports
point out that in the five-year period
ending with the year 1900 the CON-
bined value of Kansas corn and
wheat exceeded that Of the same crops
OF any other state In the union. ILL.
nois came next, but fell behind Kan
sas by little less than $19,0O0,00O.
The value Of corn grown In Kansas
the last twenty years is $100,000,O0
more than that of all the wheat crops
grown by Kansas since her beginning.
In the last ten years the value Of
Kansas corn crops has been 100000
600 more than that of the wheat pro.
duced In the same period, which in
cluded three OF the states largest
wheat crops and one Of the smallest
OF corn. In the preceding ten years
the corn crop was worth nearly $780,
100000 more than the wheat.
The Kansas corn crop was worth
over 100000 more than all her other
products of the soil in 1902, and in
two preceding seasons corn outvalued
all the other field products, wheat in.

The fact that Kansas produces more
wheat than any other state of country
in the world always causes much ear.

GEO acres of government land on the
Island of Lanai for the Bishop Estate
wharf at a valuation of 100000 for

thereon. This he considered could not

could give any assurance of providing
a special steamer or enough accommo-

LITTLE EGYPT
OWNED THE STEAMER

No less a parsonage than Little
Egypt is said to have passed through
Honolulu on the Mongolia en- route to
the Far East. Passengers who came
here on the same vessel aver that it
was the original and famous Little
Egypt, not the parsonage of San Fran
cisco who has assumed that title.
Little Egypt" achieved fame at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1898. Her
fame as a dancer of the .'Hoochee Koo-
chee' method spread all over the coun-
try. In 1896 she was the star perform
er at an elaborate dinner given in New
York by Herbert Seeley, a wealthy club
man, which was raided by the police
in the hope of catching Police Com
missioner Roosevelt there. The matter
went into the courts and Little
Egypt's sensational dancing on the
table for the 'e:ectation of the guests
was made public.
The night before the Mongolia arriv-
ed at Honolulu dance was given on
deck. About 10 o'clock some one en-
tered the smoking room which was
crowded With men, and said:
IF you want to get a chance to
dance with Little Egypt you'd bet
ter go out now"
1t was explained that the Mrs. Nc
Cord on the passenger list was none
other than Little Egypt" The smok-
ing room was emptied in one and a
half minutes. and Little Egypt be-
came the cynosure of all male eyes.
At a. M Little Egypt" and two
lady friends were surrounded by
court of about thirty gentlemen, tall,
short, lean and fat. and of all ages.

Both evening papers had interviews
with Dr. Kincaid, pastor of Central
Union Church, yesterday. He stands
bv his reported utterances at the Mo
honk conference, but says he was com
PEELED to speak without preparation, by

ess..ed to speak.
Referring TO Judge Hatch s com
ments on his speech. in which mention
was made Of white mechanics leaving
here when the Young and other large
buildings were finished, DR.. Kincaid IS
reported as saying:

chanics as these, but of men, American
citizens. who came to make THEN
homes here and found that they could
not do so / know this from practi-
cal experience with families who were
In my church.
He repeated his assertion that the
Hawaiian race was being forced TO the
wall. also reiterated what he had said
about over-cap;talization. saying:
eeThe over-valuation of lands on
which the huge plantations are placed,
the investments made on assessabie
stocks and stock watering generally has
led to the financial ruin OF many faml-
lies here in Hawaii. I know this of
my own knowledge, not by mere hear
say
Again: II did not say that I was
opposed to Chinese immigration to Ha-
waii, = DR.. Kincaid is quoted SAID
the contrary, l did say that the Amer
lean workingman had nothing to fear
from the Chinese, but that they mad
good cause to fear the japanese, and L
