Hawaii Tobacco All Right


If you can produce Cuban or SUI
matra tobaccos at Pahala for from IL
to Is cents per pound, which is about
what il will cost to grow it in Hama
kua, and can grow from fifty to two
hundred or more acres, I believe that
the quality of the crop is such that the
industry will be a very profitable one
The filler or low quality tobaccos
should bear the cost of cultivation,
and the wrapper, in whatever guam
tity produced, would, / believe, repre-
sent profit This same firm stated
that the value of our Sumatra leaf IN
sorted as to length and color but OF
the best grade would be worth S2.45 per
pound and that if we can improve the
burn (Which is a matter which we find
that we can controD the leaf would
command a much higher price.
By todays mail 1 have just received
a letter from Schwarz & Co., New York,
to whom I sent over 100 lbs, of leaf OF
II different grades. Although l en-
pbasized the fact of wanting prices,
they do not quote value for any grade,
but say in a general sort of way thal
the tobacco is good and they would
like larger quantities for trial.
Our tobacco is new and prices for any
new product are low. If any one goes
into the business here and stays with
it prices will improve with demand
Buyers compare our tobacco with Su-
matra or Partidos or any other grade
that they think our leaf can be sub
stituted for in the trade, but offer cut
rate prices. That Of course is business,
from their standpoint.
Schwarz & Co. say our Sumatra leaf
cannot be distinguished from Partidos
Havana except for being somewhat
more shiny, and I know from other
sources that Partidos brings $500 to
Sc. 90 per ID. in San Francisco. Schwarz
& Co. are manufacturers, Hirsch &
Son wholesalers and the samples sent
both were alike. FL. & Son say 1t
ought to bring $2.45 if in quantity; .
& Co. say it can be used for Partidos
which probably means that they would
offer something less than Particles
prices.
In Hamakua we grew 1900 to 1900
pounds of this grade to the acre-about
20 per cent wrapper.
The tobacco is good, and If the H
A. Co. want to stay with it for four or
five years, I believe you will not regret
any investment made.
Yours truly,
JARED G.. SMITH.

Honolulu, Hawaii, March Is, 1907.
c. Brewer & Co., Honolulu, T. II.
Dear Sirs: / have received recently,
the first definite report in regard to
values Of Hawaiian grown Cuban to-
baccos from Hirsch and Son, New
York. They say in regard to samples
which We called Cuban A, 1906, Num-
bers 1 and %: This is serviceable
tobacco of good quality and burn. The
leaf is somewhat too long and poorly
shaped. No. 1 can be used for bind
ers though rather too heavy and thick,
value 20 cents. No. 2. partly wrap
pers and binders, value so cents"
Cuban c, good burning quality. No.
1, binders and contains some wrapper
leaves, value 80 cents. No. 2 a large
leaf filler, value 20 cents. No. small
and narrow filler, value II cents. Gu
ban P, common, heavy, thick, ordinary
filler, value s cents"
These tobaccos are practically Of the
same quality as the H. A. tobacco crop
of 1906 The latter was capable of
being sorted into a great many grades.
Hirsch and Son are leaf dealers, that
is, wholesalers, who buy their tobac-
COS lIOIA Tic pAOouSOi, SOA> 1AANo
grades, and finish the fermentation and
sell the product at an advance of from
so to IS per cent, so I am informed. i
have sent a great many samples OF To-
bacco to manufacturers and leaf deal
ers in the United States, England, Ger
MANY and France, and while practical
" every one says the tobacco is OF
good quality, instead of quoting prices
they usually ask how much there is.
what it costs to produce and whether
Hand is obtainable in Hawaii for the
growth of this quality of tobacco and
at what prices. I have received so
many inquiries of this character that
T believe the tobacco is of much bet
ter quality than the average A1ner1-
can cigar-leaf understand that the
organization known as the Tobacco
Trust have sent, or are intending to
send, a man out here for the purpose
of buying land if it can be obtained In
large enough bodies aud at reasonable
prices.
I have learned this much from at
tempting to dispose of, or find out the
value Of your tobacco and our own,
that it is difficult to sell a single bale
of any quality of leaf and that where
more than one grade is shipped In a
single package the value of the tooac-
co is fixed by the value of the lowest
grade in the bale!

been demonstrated, and could further be
shown. that the business of the nation

Two Swjndlers.

NEW YORK, September More than
fifty merchants, nearly all jewelers., appear
ed as compliments in the Tombs police
court yesterday to charge Samuel and ST.

I've been too long in this business.
Why not?' Samuel Wolf said, according

can deposit the paper. In several days. after
it goes through all right, I'll send for the
goods and money or call Samuel Wolf

Waldar accepted the check.
The next day he called up the bank and

nothing from it, and when Samuel Wolf
called three days later he handed him his
watch and the money balance, asking him

Name But Taft

CHICAGO, September 7.-Secretary Oscar
S. Straus of the Department of Commerce

President Roosevelt of his trip through

the sentiment of every city for Roosevelt
for another term in the Presidents chair"

thusiastic wish and determined desire for
Roosevelt. When I told the people the posi-
ton the President had taken, they all
seemed to hope that conditions would COM
pei him to accept a nomination"

NEW YoRK's CARE OF INSANE.
Triumph of Philanthropy, Says Dr.
Macdonald of State System.

AMSTERDAM September AT last
nights session of the international medical
congress DR.. Carlos F. Macdonald of New
York read paper on "the Development OF
| the Modern Care and Treatment of the In
sane as Illustrated by the State Hospital
System of New York" DR.. Macdonald gave
n lengthy review of the conditions of the
insane in New York, from 1896, when the
/ legislature created the state lunstic asy-
lum at Utica, to the present day.
Comparing the old system of mechanical
restraint and insanitary neglect with the
humane treatment provided 70. by the
existing state care act, Dr.. Macdonald
said: The people of New York state de-
sire that in their standard of care and in
their results their hospitals for the insane
shall stand second to none in the world
and I believe that they are abundantly able
and willing to supply the necessary means
to secure these conditions and results
THE progress and present status Of the
New York state hospital system" said DR..
Macdonald, may be regarded as a con-
tinuation, if not the full fruition, of the
great reform movement in behalf of the
insane inaugurated more than century
ago by Pinel in France Tuke Jacob In
Germany and Rush in the United States.
This splendid system, begun in 1886 and
consummated in 1890 is living monument
to unsefish effort for humanit and science
It's existence today marks a great lasting
triumph Of philanthropy and humanity over
ignorance and greed in the march of civ
iiZation."
After paying a tribute to the Medical
Society of New York, which. DR.. Mac
donald said. through its humane secretary,
DR.. Willard, ''blazed the pathway of this
ignorance and greed" he concluded that
the principle of state care of the insane,
founded on the broad basis of science and
humanity, as applied in the state of New
