WILL HEAR REPORT
ON HOsMER'S TRIP

A meeting of the Board of Agricul-
ture and Forestry viii be held this
afternoon at $3.50. The principal busi-
ness of the meeting will be the reading
of the report of Forester Hosmer, who
has been away on the other islands on
trip of some five weeks duration.
His report will cover, among other
subjects Of present interest, the ohia
forests on Hawaii and the rubber in
dustry at Nahiku and Hama.
The matter of the proposed trip of
F. T. P Waterhouse to Ceylon. as the
of the Board, will also
be a subject of great interest, owing
to the fact that the rubber plantations
of his Territory seem bound to become
one of the leading industries of the
islands. What action will be taken on
the matter cannot be told till the board
has taken the question up and thor
oughiy discussed it.

BLAME FOR ACCIDENT
On j. SIS. ALBA TROSS

While the Board of Inquiry, which
was called together by Admiral Very,
to investigate the death of James Col
Iarey, who was killed on board the
L. s. s. Albatross on Monday. has not
made public its findings. it is certain
that the blame for the accident will be
placed on one of the petty officers,
whose duty it was to see that the
steam was shut off before work was
done on the valve. The dead fireman
was gwen instructions to take off the
stop-valve and naturally thought that
the steam had been shut of. 1t was
not his work TO do this and the blame
for his death must rest upon the man
who neglected his duty, and so al

BANNER SUGAR
CROP NEXT YEAR
Prices Ought to Remain Good
With Large Increase in
Quantity.

The sugar output for the year 1905
should be the banner crop for these
islands, according to a statement made
yesterday by E. E. Paxton of the
Sugar Factors Company. The indica-
tions are that the coming crop will
not only exceed that of the past sea-
son by many thousand tons, but that
the prices at which it will be sold
will be as good as those of the season
which is just expiring.
In speaking of the prospects for su-
gar for next year. Mr.. Paxton said:
From the indications, 1 believe that
s there will be banner sugar crop on
these islands in 1908. The conditions
(which exist indicate that it will be by
far the largest crop which has ever
been harvested in these islands, and.
unless something comes up to cause
trouble that can not now be fore
seen. there should be good times on
the plantations. A number of the
larger plantations will increase their
yield to a great extent. which is due
to increased area planted and to bet
ter irrigation.
"OIaa. McBryde. waialua and Oahu
all will show large increases. as will
several of the plantations for which
Alexander & Baldwin are agents. This
will mean more sugar, and as con-
ditions exist we have reason to ex-
pect a great yield per acre. This will
depend greatly on the juices. Last
year they were not up to what we ex-
pected. but if they are in the coming
year it will mean a very large in
crease.
I'm regard 10 price. From the pres
ent outlook this should be satisfac- !
tory. The conditions which exist /
throughout the sugar world today are
practically the same as those which |
existed a year ago. and from this we
may judge that there should be as
good prices next year as there have |
been this. We should also be able to
market the sugar more quickly next
year. as the transportation facilities
will be better than they have been in
the. past - Ii I

struetion and it is proposed, from the
proceeds of the bonds, to build an ex-
tension of twenty-five miles, making a
total of thirty-two miles. As stated
it win be general public road and
do a common carrying business as well
as the transportation of cane for its
owning companies.
1t is expected to go ahead immedi-
ately with the extension of the rail
road. AS soon as it is completed it
will enable the Hawaiian Mahogany
Lumber Co. to lumber both the ohia
and koa forests, where there is more
of both kinds of timber than in the
district where that company is now
operating.
1t will be remembered that all of
the operations of the lumber company,
both in Kona and ,Kau, are under the
full supervision of Territorial Forester
Hosmer and subject to the foresting
rules of the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry. The intention is to take out
only mature trees, preserving and pro-
tecting the young trees and giving
them an opportunity to develop.
Reverting to the bond issue, it may
be stated that 100000 of the bonds
have already been placed at par in Ho-
nolnlu, and plans are on foot for
placing all of the balance which may
be needed.
Kona s great day of development has
arrived.

.FREAR CONFERS
WITH CITIZENS
Seeks Advice on Choice of
Successor to C. S.
Holloway.

Governor Frear spent a great deal of
his time yesterday afternoon in dis
cussing with a number of leading cit
izens the choice of a successor to Su-
perintendent of Public Works Hollo-
way. whose term expires on Thursday
night, according to the resignation pre-
sented by him and accepted by Gov
ernor Frear. Last night the Governor
stated that he had not as yet select
ed the man who will move into Mr..
HoIloway's office and succeed him. 1t
is possible that no successor will be
chosen Immediately, as the Governor
announced yesterday that Mr.. Hollo-
way had agreed to stay on if necessary
for short while.
Those who visited the Governor yes
terday on his invitation to talk over
the situation included E. Faxon Bishop,
A. Gartley, L. A, Thurston, w. Hoogs,
C. NJ. Cooke, Senator w. o. Smith,
w. r. Harrington, z. E. Cooper, J. F.
Morgan, c. G. Ballentyne, Senator
John Lane, E. D. Tenney and Attor-
ney General Hemenway. The matter
of the choice of a new Superintendent
of Public Works was discussed freely,
there seeming TO be a fairly unanimous
opinion as to who should be the man.
The Governor himself expressed no
opinion, but listened attentively to
what was being said.
Nothing further than this could be |
learned of the discussion and no
inkling has been given out as to whom |
the majority recommended.
1t is the general opinion, however, |
that James T. Taylor Will be the name /
announced by Governor Frear. The |
nanv consultations which have been |
going on between him and the Gov
ernor and Secretary, in which the Nu-
lanu reservoir contract and the Ka-
,aa lands have been discussed, leads
o this opinion. On the other hand, it
vas stated with a show of authority
that one of the haole Su-
,ervisors from Kauai is the man whom
he Governor would like to name. 1t

A meeting Of the trustees of the
| Queens s Hospital has been. called for
| Thursday morning, to take pace in
room 402 of the Stangenwald building.
| When asked for information in regard
| to the meeting, Secretary George w.
| Smith. stated that it was simply the
regular quarterly meeting of the board
of trustees and that there would be
the regular reports of the executive
committee and officers of the hospital.
! Outside of this regular routine bust
ness, he stated that he knew of no
other matters which would come up.
When asked if the matter of DR..
Hodgins' being fred from the list of
honorary doctors of the hospital would
be taken up he assumed a look of
surprise, and stated that he thought
that the incident had been closed and
that nothing more would be heard of
it. When informed that it was under
stood that the matter would be brought
all knowledge of it personally and also
volunteered the information that moth
ing in this regard had been brought to
the attention of the executive board.
Other members of the board who
were interviewed refused to have any
thing to say, for publication, in regard
to the Hodgins incident, though it
seems almost certain that the matter
will be brought up. In what form
it is certain that there are members !
of the board of trustees who believe |
that DIR. Hodgins has been treated |
harshly and that there is a very gem
eral impression to that effect among
the general public, with whom the
physician is justly popular. His posi-
Medical Association shows the feeling
of the local medical fraternity in this
regard.
A new feature which may come up
at the meeting is likely to be the ap-
pearance of president of the board
of trustees, not only ex officio but de
facto. 1t is certain that Governor
Frear has taken deep interest in the
affairs of the Queens Hospital and
unless his time on Thursday is so oc-
cupied, on account of his leaving less
than week later on the Alameda for
the Coast, he may take the center of
action at the meeting. Following his
usual custom, he is no doubt fully in
formed in regard to all the details of
he matter before taking any action.

lowed Collarey to meet his death, while
obeying orders.
The report of the Board of Inquiry
will be forwarded to Washington by
letter mail. and will be made public
from there. In the meantime it may
be stated without fear of contradiction
that it does not exonerate all on board
the Albatross from negligence, which
caused the fireman's death.
CoIlarey probably never knew what
hit him. While his body when recoS-
cred was horribly scalded, he met his
death through the blow received from
the head of the valve, which was sud-
denly thrown from it's position as he,
unaware of danger. Ioosened it, and
struck him in the face.

Kona, Hawaii, meaning North and
South, is going to have railway more
than thirty miles in length, of which
about one-third is already built or in
a course of construction.
Primarily the road is projected to
carry sugar cane from plantations in
both districts to a central sugar mill.
Yet it is to be public railway for
the carriage of passengers and freight.
The Kona Agricultural Company, at
with the Kona Development Company
and the West Hawaii Railway Com
pany, authorized joint bond issue of
$1,000,000 for the development of the
several enterprises of these three cor
porations.
An issue of $5o0,O00 is to be first
made, which is to be used primarily
for the extension Of the railroad from
North to South Kona, and the con-
struction u line to the sea at some
point on Kealakekua bay.

Women and Children Of the

How many ladies think of the won
the golden thread, the precious prod
uct of the laborious silkworm, must
go before the woven material reaches
their hands? Yet to study the manu-
facture of silk, step by step, in every
phase, from the cocoon state until the
silk is made into skeins ready for the
weaver, is both interesting and in
structive. Italy stands first in Europe
in the silk spinning manufacture; then
come France, Germany, Austria and
Spain. Hungary has only lately taken
to the rearing of the silkworm. Eng
land cannot do it on account of her
cold climate. The greatest part of the
silk produced in Italy comes from the
Lombard and Venetian regions; but
Piedmont produces a quality of silk
superior to any other.
Those who have never visited an
Italian spinningmill can have no ade-
quate idea of the lives led by the
many women (of from IL to so years
of age) employed. Few of us think
of the obscure existence of these wom-
their work are before us. Most of the
spinning-mills in Italy are in villages
or small towns, and the workers are
generally girls from the same place,
or from the neighboring villages.
These poor girls earn from SO cen
times to franc day at most; they
walk for miles to reach the mill early
in the morning, and go home at dusk.
On their way they sing popular songs.
However scanty the wages may be,
some peasants are so poor that they
are glad to earn them, working -
hours a day, in excessively heated
rooms, in which even in winter the
heat is oppressive.
The cocoons, when first sent to the
spinning-mill, are spread over table
to be selected. From the bright yellow
cocoons very fine quality comes. and
from the faulty ones, of course, an
inferior quality. When the choice is
made, the cocoons are washed in hot
water, and are left in it for some time
to get cooked After the washing

AS the story goes, the pirate La

the hands of boy who had been
forced into service on his ship pack

kept until as an old man he died on

who attended him in his last illness,
this old sailor placed the packet of
papers. Thirty years afterward, in
1888, DR.. Davidson fitted out an ex-
