KUHIO's COMMITTEES.

Delegate Kalanianaole was well
cared for by Speaker Cannon in COM
mlttee assignments. In the last Con-
gress he had membership on the Com
mittee on Territories and on the Com
mittee on Postoffices and Postroads.
In this Congress he remains a member
of the House Committee on Territories,
being put at the foot of the list, and
also is made a member of the Commit
tee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
and on private land claims. 81
The House Committee on Immigra-
tion already has several bills before 1t
for consideration and probably will try
to frame some measure. One OF. these
is bill by Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts to place head tax OF
from So to $40 upon immigrants, but
not upon immigrants to Porto Rico or
Hawaii. But while there is considera
BILE sentiment in the House for further
restriction of immigration it is not so
pronounced in the Senate, where there
seems warrant for saying no immi-
grafton bill can pass at this session.
Senator Dillingham;, chairman of i'm
migration, thinks the demand for Ia
Dor in this country is becoming so
keen that Congress would not be justi-
fed in restricting immigration fur
Their but would rather be justified in
facilitating the distribution of immi
grants after they reach this country.
He will offer bill before long to that
end. Mr.. Dillingham; said today that
the educational test could never pass
the Senate and that the limit OF rea-
sonable restriction of immigration
seemed to have been reached.

LOAN CONTRACTS

There is no sign so far of carrying the
deadlock into the courts. Perhaps it is
only a matter of days until Treasurer

on the mainland, when he might cable
a portion of the proceeds to get over
the difficulty.

possible will be done to have the bill
| written into law before the close of
the present session. Col Edwards, of
| the insular bureau, who keeps a close
watch on Hawaiian affairs, although.
they do not come under his jurisdic-
/ ton. said today that Hawaii could
get the refund of taxes and ought to
get them.
When Mr.. Atkinson was asked today
what had been accomplished on the
subject of immigration, he replied:
Il came on to see Mr.. Sargent, the
Commissioner General of Immigration
and talk over the question of how far
the territorial board of immigration
may go in assisting immigrants to the
Hawaiian islands. To put it in as few
words as possible, Mr.. Sargent said
we might go as far as We like, but only
as a territorial board. Since the
famous Korean cases we have been
very touchy in Hawaii on the subject
of assisting immigrants. When [ was.
in Washington year ago it was init
mated to me that assistance to i'm
grants could be rendered by a terri
tory or state. In the last Legislature,
the bill prepared by r. w. Breckons,
the United States Attorney, organic
ing the territorial board of immlgra,
ton, was passed. Since then the boaro
has organized and I was sent on here,
as | said, to ascertain the legal status
and to see to what limits we could 90
in assisting immigrants to the Islands.
On nv arrival here | found that this
subject had already interested the
President and the immigration authort-
ties Mr.. Sargent seems more inter
ested now than anyone else in settling
nd
feels sure that it can be done. But he
said that only as a territorial board
could we assist immigrants. He says
we may advertise, charter steamers,
carry the immigrants at reduced fare
or free. | have wired this information
to the Islands and have been told to
await instructions.
Mr.. Atkinson had very satisfac-
tory experience in his visit to New
York and his participation in the de-
alterations of the National Civic Fed
Grafton. He was chosen chairman of
the committee on program and order
of business and also spoke for twenty
minutes on '|What Hawaii is Doing on
Immigration - While careful not to
say aught against the interests of the
Territory in Chinese labor, Mr.. Atkin-
son emphasized the efforts now on foot
to Ame1icanize Hawaii and to secure
white settlers there. After Mr.. Atkin-
son had spoken, President Gompers
promised his support in that direction.
Mr.. Sargent, who was the first
speaker at the conference, referred to
what Hawaii was doing to meet the
immigration and to settle her lands
with white people. He advised other
states to do the same.
Since returning to Washington Mr..
Atkinson has discussed the subject fur
Their with President Gompers and will
have still another conference with him

THE REFUNDING BILL.

Delegate Kalanianaole yesterday in
troduced the refunding bill to pay back
to the Territory IS per cent. of the Fed
eral taxes for twenty years to be spent
in Federal pubic works and for public
educational buildings. 1t was intro
duced after consultation with Chairman
Hamilton, of the House Committee on
Territories, to which committee it was
referred, and reads as follows:
- Bill to set aside certain Federal
revenues from the Territory of Hawaii
and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United

sage to spend rs per cent. of the Fed
eral taxes in the Territory, has been in
consultation with Samuel Gompers,
president of the, American Federation
of Labor, in connection with immigra-
ton matters, and, in company with
Judge Hatch, has attended the hearings
before the Ways and Means Committee
of the House on the Philippine tariff
bill. Mr.. Atkinson has also been in con-
sultation considerably during the week
with Mr. Clifford Pinchot. Chief Fores-
ter, who, as the personal representative
of the President, has been investigating
Hawaiian land and immigration
The third issue of Hawaiian bonds
for territorial improvements under the
act of two years ago for the sum of
$750,000,' said Mr.. Atkinson today,
has been approved by the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury has
extended the same privilege to this is
sue as was extended to the former is
sues. These bonds are for three and a
half per cent, which is the lowest in
terest rate of any bonds so far issued by
the Territory. Copies of all papers
have been forwarded to Dillon & Hub
bard, attorneys for the Territory in
New York, for their opinion. That
opinion should be issued this week. No
trouble over this is anticipated, as the
bonds are to be issued under the same
law and same circumstances as the
former improvement bonds. While the
appropriation bill, for which these
bonds are to be issued, amounted to
1897 900, Gov. Carter decided to spend
only $4,000 of that amount and the
President has upheld HIM in that de-
clsion.''
HSdir. Atkinson will leave Washington
in day or two for New York, and pos
sibly for Chicago also, to look into mat
ters pertaining to the sale of the bonds.
1t was not the original intention that
he should have anything to do with
that on this trip, but he is now comply
ing with cablegrams from Gov. Carter.
There is much he can do here to adj
vance other matters of interest to the
Territory, ana, accordingly, as soon as
he can execute this mission. will re-
turn to Washington again, probably by
the end of the week.

The Wonders of the Modern Farming
Machinery.

All the great crops are now planted
and all except cotton are gathered by
machinery. Let us follow a crop
throughout a seasons work and see
the changes that have come in its
treatment.
The plowman no longer trudges
slowly and wearily back and forth
across his field. He rides a sulky
plow with a spring seat. There are
special plows for every need: turf
plows, stubble plows, subsoil plows,
plows for heavy work, Flows for light
work, and gang plows turning three
burrows at once. So simple are many
of them that a boy may drive one.
Flowing by steam is not commonly
practiced in the Middle West, but
out on the great wheat ranches of the
Pacific Coast it is common. On the
tule lands of California a sixty-horse-
power traction engine drawing twen
ty-one feet of disk plows will break
the ground to a depth of ten inches
at the rate of As to 60 acres a day.
With mold-board plows designed es-
pecially for this work, stri p twenty
eight feet wide can be broken. This
means that a man and a pair of
horses with single mold-board plow
would have to cross a field twenty
eight times to do the same work that
the traction engine does by one trip
of its plows. A farmer of the Cen
trail West who uses a small traction
engine and a gang of four fourteen
inch plows, says that it costs him
from fifty to sixty-two cents per acre

steam economical.
The land made ready for the recep-
tion of the seed, machinery still does
the work that muscle used to do. The
sower goes forth to SOW, but not as
he once did, Dropping his seed into
the soil, trudging backward and for
ward from dawn till twilight. His
grass or his grain is broadcasted or
drilled in with mechanical evenness,
and the machine automatically regis
ters the acreage sown. In like man
ner his corn is drilled in. listed or
planted in hills, his potatoes are
planted, and even his cabbage, his
caulifower and his tobacco plants
from the seed-beds are set out by ma
chinery, and the work is done better
than it could possibly be by hand
this, besides the saving of time and
toll. Even in the vegetable garden,
seeders for all kinds of seeds are now
extensively used. The machines are
pushed in front of the operator, and
they automatically drop and cover
the seeds at the desired distances and
depth and at the same time mark off
the next row.-W. B. Thornton, in
the August Worlds Work.

IMPROVING SEED CORN AND COT
TON.
Mr.. Hayes Calls Attention to Some Ex-
cellent Plans ALI Farmers Would Do
Well to Adopt.

Messrs. Editors: As it has been a
good while since your patrons heard
from this sinner, | would tell them
that / am taking a good rest since
our crop has been laid by. l only
work a small seed farm myself, and
rent out the remainder. [ went
through my corn on the 22nd day Of
July and selected my corn seed for
next years planting. This corn was
planted April 22nd, and just three
months from that day | selected
from the stalks that had what is
called roasting ears. This is the only
way to have your corn to come early,
and all get ripe at the same time.
No one can pick his seed from the
field at gathering time, because you
can't tell an early ear from a late
one. This makes your corn, some on
roasting ear, some just in good silk,
and some with none. This is all be-
cause of the stalk being late that the
seed corn was picked from. [ select
all of my seeds in this way by select
ing from the earliest. l have four
kinds of corn-Prolifc, Snowflake,
Rockdale, and Blue Grain. All of
my corn makes frst-class bread.
/ have my one acre of cotton this
year planted with tive-pod boles Sc
lected from the very best stocks in
my acre last year. begin with the
best seeds that money will buy, and
improve them every year in the way
that / have told you. And if this is
not done, there is no farmer that
can claim his seed to be choice seed.
Every county in the United States
should have one farmer to look after
seeds of all kinds to be paid by the
government. Then our crops would
be third more every year. Then
our nation would live at home and
board at the same place, and could
feed and cloth China, the largest ma
tion in the world, and have a sur

corn and such satisfying ration, and
feed the SOW on oats or other non
milk producing feed. Within a few
days the pigs will visit the mother
but infrequently; at the end of ten
days the business will be done.

Many farmers salt their COWS on
the ground. That is not the best
way. Boxes, or if the COWS come up
under the shed at night, a strip of
board nailed along the edge of a
long sill to make a wide trough will
hold the salt far better, and the cows
can get it as they need it. The old
way is wasteful, and waste means
harder work to get along on the
farm, as it does everywhere.
