very center of the kiln. The oiI-burn-
ing apparatus used is the Owens oil
burner. invented by P. J. Owens, for
ferly chief engineer of the Alameda
and now chief engineer of the steam
ship Mexican.
From this floor the remainder of the
structure housing the kilns is built up
of framed material to a height of
something over forty feet from the
ground. thirty feet from the cement
floor It is from this upper floor that
the limestone is fed into the kilns. y
long inclined track is built on trestle-
work up to this floor and donkey
engine and cable hauIs up and lowers
down this incline little steel cars each
having a capacity of a ton.
The entire building is enclosed with
corrugated iron. The kilns have an
estimated capacity of 100 tons each in
twenty-four hours. a track of the
oahu Railway runs right along the ma
kai side of this building so that the
barreled lime may be shipped from it
direct. on the opposite side of the
track is a warehouse, also built of
corrugated IRON anu cdpdpie OF SIoT~
ing 1000 barrels of lime. To the
southerly of this building is the cooper
shop, where the barrels are made. Here
a force of coopers under the direction
of julius Asch are at work making
barrels. One more building is to be
built, a storage room for empty bar
rels.
The kilns have been erected by the
Mutual Engineering Company of San
Francisco. under the supervision of w

lime burner, and V. f. Conklin is his
assistant. ]. J. Belser is the manager
of the company. He has spent sew

subject of lime and lime-burning,
From tests made, it is claimed that
the lime produced from this Waianae
limestone is equal to any lime made
anywhere.

communities of the East. The gray
ity of the situation must, 1 believe
appeal with special force to the Gov
ernors of the States because of their
close relations to the people and their
responsibility for the welfare of their
communities. 1 have therefore de-
cided, in accordance with the sugges-
/ ton of the Inland Waterways Com
mission, to ask the Governors of the
States and Territories to meet at the
White House on May IS, IA, and Is. to
confer with the President and with
each other upon the conservation of
natural resources.
1t gives me great pleasure to invite
You to take part in this conference.
should be glad to have you select
three citizens to accompany you and
to attend the conference as your as
sistants or advisors. I shall also in
wife the Senators and Representativ
of the Sixtieth Congress to be pres
ent at the sessions so far as their
duties will permit.
The matters to be considered at
this conference are not confined to
any region or group of States. but are
of vital concern to the Nation as a
whole and to all the people. These
subjects include the use and conser-
walton of the Mineral Resources, Re-
sources of the Land, and the Resour-
ces of the Waters, in every part of our
territory.
In order to open discussion I shall
invite a few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions of actual
facts and conditions, without argu>
ment, leaving the conference to deal
with each topic as it may elect. The
members of the Inland Waterways
Commission will be present in order
to share with me the benefit of infor-
nation and suggestion, and, if desired,
to set forth their provisional plans and
conclusions
Facts. which can not gainsay, force
me to believe that the conservation
of our natural resources is the most
weighty question now before the peo-
pie of the United States. If this is
so, the proposed conference, which
is the first of its kind. will be among
the most important gatherings in our
history in its effect upon the welfare
of all the people.
I earnestly hope, my dear Governor,
that you will find it possible to be
present.
Sincerely yours,

President Roosevelt has written to
Governor Frear, inviting him to meet
at the White House on May 10, Il and
Is. with the President of the United
States and the Governors of the other
States and Territories of the Republic,
to confer upon the preservation of nat
uraI resources.
The text of this letter of invitation
to the Governor is as follows:
The White House,
Washington, November II, 1907.
My Dear Governor: The natura, re-
sources of the territory of the United
States were, at the time of settlement.
richer, more varied, and more avail
able than those of any other equal
area on the surface of the earth. The
development of these resources\ has
given us, for more than a century, a
rate of increase in population and
wealth undreamed of by the men who
founded our government and without
parallel in history. 1t is obvious that.
the prosperity which we now eniov
rests directly upon these resources. 1t
is equally obvious that the vigor and
success which we desire and foresee
Tor this nation in the future must have
this as its ultimate material basis.
In view of these evident facts it
seems to me time for the country to
take account of its natural resources.
and TO inquire how long they are like
~ To last We are prosperous now.
We should not forget that it will be
Just as important TO our descendants
20 be prosperous in their time as it is
10 US to be prosperous in our time.
Recently I expressed opinion that
there Is no other question now before
the nation of equal gravity with the
question of the conservation of our
natural resources; and I added that IL
IS the plain duty Of those of us who.
Tor the moment, are responsible. TO
make inventory of the natural re-
sources which have been handed down

the needs of the future and so to
handle the great sources of our pros
peHty as not 10 destroy in advance
al nope Of the prosperity OF our de-
scendants.
It is evident that the abundant nat
ural resources on which the welfare of
TINS nation rests are becoming de-
pieted and in not a few cases are al
ready exhausted. This is true az all
portions Of the United States; II is |
true of the longer settled

A NEW INDUSTRY
|. HAS BEEN STARTED
Waianae Lime Company Begins
Burning Lime at It's
New Plant.

The waianae Lime Company has lii
the fires in its double lime kiln in
Iwilei, and hopes TO keep them burn
ing perpetually-except for very rare
intervals of repair.
The Hawaiian Islands import $685.
| coo worth of lime year from beyond
seas, and it is the hope of the company
| to supply that right from the lime
stone deposits of this island. To this
end the limestone is quarried at Waia-
nae and brought by the Oahu Railway,
about twenty-five tons to the car to
the lime zilns at Iwilei, spur track
running along makai of the Oahu
Prison TO the kilns
The kilns are not the old-fashioned
kilns of art and poetry, fired with
wood and requiring two or three weeks
to burn and as much longer to cool of
so that the lime could be taken out
the kind that figures in the melo-
dramas. into which the villain throws
his victims TO be incinerated to a
powder The Waianae Lime Com
pany's kilns-for there are two of them
are the most up-to-date development
of the lime-burning industry. They
burn oil for fuel, and they are never
allowed to cool. But as the limestone
in the lower part of the kiln is re-
duced to lime, it is drawn off from
below and additional limestone is piled
into the kiln at the top.
The two kilns are side by side. Each
consists essentially of a steel cylinder
eight feet six inches in outside diam
eter and thirty feet long, set verti-
cally. At the bottom of this cylinder,
extending into it from opposite sides,
are oil-burning apparatus. Below these,
the steel cylinder terminates in a sort
of hopper-like construction with
sliding steel door at the bottom, OPEN
ed and closed by cogged mechanism,
through which the lime, pure and
white. is taken out on a cement floor,
where, after cooling a couple of hours,
it is barreIed and shipped, or rolled
into an adjoining warehouse. Up at
the top these great steel cylinders
also taper up to a short smokestack,
through which what little smoke there
is in the process of burning goes off
INTO the air. Al the Top THERE IL q
door. through which the fresh supplies
of limestone to be burned into lime are
thrown into the kiln.
While this steel cylinder is eight
feet six inches in diameter outside, it
is lined with fire brick to a thickness
of two feet, leaving the interior diam
eter of the kiln four feet six inches
The building in which the. kilns are
housed, so to speak, although they rise
high above the building, consists first
of a cement floor built up on piers
from the coral reef which underlies
this region. From this cement floor
is built up one story of structural
steel. and it is on this steel structure
that the weight of the kilns rests.
ON this second floor is the firing APP
paratus. This includes a large steam
boiler, water pumps to force fresh
supplies of water into the boiler and
oil pumps to pump oil from tank in
the ground at some distance away.
The steam and oil are brought to-
gether at the fire door of the kilns

It is all stuff about controlling the market when the crop is excessively large. Suppose you raise the price to very high figure and then raise a bumper crop. Who is going to hold the excess? Do you suppose the cap- italist will hold it for fun? Not on your life; when he holds cotton he does 1t for snug margin over in- surance, interest and taxes, and all probable decline. With big crop, such as is likely to be raised under the stimulus of good prices this year, there will be an excess, and it is this excess that will control the market
 The warehouse plan is good one and worth all it costs, but don't you put your faith in its ability to get big price for something that is not want. ed, or for an excess over the ordi
 nary demand. The warehouse will do what it is intended to do-regulate the supply. but it is not sensible to think it will be able to make prices on all of a crop when only part oi tbe crop is demanded for the trade. Have some sense about the matter.

HONEY FOR THE FAMILY.

The general neglect of the bee in. one of the most notable thing on the present-day farm. A few years ago no well-regulated farm was thought any way complete unless it had few colonies, at least, of bees. Now the bee hive Is the exception, and is grow ing scarcer. The following, from an exchange we find going the rounds of the press, and recommend it as first rate piece of reading matter:
 Those who know how wholesome honey is, and how the children love the honey dripping from the comb. and how much better it is than so much adulterated candy and syrups (even the cane sugar candy is ac- cused of causing serious kidney trouble), should take more interest in the bees, and find a way to supply the table with honey.
 Almost anyone can keep up a few stands of bees, and, by working them on the non-swarming plan, get quan. tity of honey ranging from fifty to two hundred pounds per colony of properly managed bees. The manage ment should require only few min utes now and then. There are few things on farm so profitable as a few good colonies when we figure what couple of hundred pounds of honey will save in molasses and pre-. serve bills, and also doctors bills. A sufficient home supply can be had at the cost of a few dollars at the start. and little or no expense in run ming the colonies
 We must learn to direct the energy of other forces to our advantage if we wish to be scientific and success full farmers. Then, too, there is noth- ing more charming to the little ones than to watch the bees at work on the blossoms, and to see them con- ing and going from their busy home. It is a good lesson for them, too lesson from nature.-Exchange

Above all things be of good cheer. When a winner and a bellyacher butts in, why, just butt him out. God made the songbird and the busy bee for the use of mankind, and he who has not gotten a lesson in industry and good cheer from. these is not fit to associ- ate with decent men. Man has not gone far on the road to human at. tainment, but he has already passed many stages of the course, and has cast off many of the things that hin. der, and 1t is for this riddance of the cruder things that he has mucn cause to rejoice like the songbird and work like the bee.

HOW TO EVEN UP.

ii. A. Hancock, Of this city, has lived fourscore-and-five years He has been observing causes and noting eff. fleets long time. But we met him one day a year or so back when he had come upon a problem that was too much for him, and the remark that he made has been ringing in our ears ever since He said: Every interest is organizing. Each class is union izing and it's members ceasing to war among themselves, but cooperating for protection against other classes, and what I want to know is this: When all the classes get unionized and all strike for less work and more pay, what's going to be done about it?"-Farmers' Journal.

Recently ex-President Calvin, of Texas, was featuring a crowd of sup posed farmers-they were all Union men-numbering some 2QQO persons. He asked if any in the crowd un- derstood grating trees, and not soul rose or made a motion. What do you think of that for a class of 2O00 men, all of whom are in the business of raising things? It is shame It is shame that everyone of these men, if he found a strong, healthy, well-rooted young tree in his or chard which was fruitless or of no value on account of the quality of Its fruit, must dig up that tree and plant another take the risk of it's living, and the risk of its being poor quality, when, in twenty minutes, he could have learned all there is to learn about top grating, whereby the tree could be saved and used to the best advantage. producing just what was wanted, and never be checked in it's growth.
