TIKI KOA VENTURE
At THE VOLCANO

The papers OF the company organ
lied for the purpose of getting out koa
timber in the islands and marketing
II will be filed with the government
today. The company viii have cap
italization Of fifty thousand dollars
with the usual privileges as to increas-
ing II.
The first forest to be operated upon
Is the one back of the Volcano House,
the lease TO the company being grant
ed by the Bishop Estate trustees Tor
The term of fifteen years. 1t Is under
stood that the company VIII harvest
only logs of certain diameter ana
they win be mainly those that are on
the ground. These have been passed
upon by l.. a. Andrews, on behalf OF
the estate, the first time, and later on
behalf of the incorporators Of com
pany that was contemplated year
ago.
lie reported upon his observations
from two distinctly different view
points, with the result that the COM
pany was willing to let the forest ana
the incorporators were willing to place
the capital upon his recommendations.
According to the terms of the lease the
estate is to be paid a stipulated price
for all lumber taken from the lana
during the life of the lease, the rate
being an advantageous one TO the COM
pany. o. Il. Shipman holds five-year
lease to the property, but he has
aqulesced in the plan and benefits to
the extent of having the lands for the
additional period and In other ways.
He Is, besides, holder of some Of the
shares in the company. George Ly-
curgus is a large stakeholder. The
stock is largely over-subscribed, and
there is no promotion stock.
The enterprise was first taken up by
A. Richley Hilo contractor, and to
him is due the organization of the
company, which is financed by the
Henry Warehouse Trust Co. Mr..
Shingle has been active in completing
the plan of organization. A year ago
Mr.. Richley paid visit to the leading
manufacturers in Grand Rapids and
| received a great deal of encourage
ment. There is no doubt this species
of American mahogany will be largely
used there in the manufacture of desks
and house furniture. The builders OF
palace cars also took up the matter
with Mr.. Richley and will use the WOOD
in their manufacture.
Mr.. Shingle and Mr.. Richley will
probably go to Hawaii next week and
arrange for the installation of ma
l chinery.
