THE REAL SMALL FARMER.

Editor Advertiser: As I read some
of the editorials in the Honolulu pa
pers I confess to a feeling Of confusion
whether a small farmer means plan
tatfon laborer with few acres for
his family to work on, but not enough
to make him independent; or whether
II means one who will not be content
with the work of his own hands and
those of his family any longer than he
can help.
IF the small farm movement Is
synonymous with Americanization OF
the islands, it means a type Of man
who will use his head in preference to
his hands wherever and whenever ne
can. No man of this class will be con-
tent with ten acres, and he will do as
his brethren in the West do when they
can. hire the best labor within reach.
| ONLY ir the West it is usually some
one VINO is working to provide the
| vberewithal to start himself that he
| hires. I pioneered ten years IN the
| South. and saw many man start In
this wav. go in debt for his land, and
eventually when he was able to hire
| labor he was the recipient OF con-
graduation: instead of wise shake
| of the head. and an implication that
he was rather naughty in helping on
the scarcity of laobr.
The places where any American
| farmer. does all his own labor are tight
places, or places where there is wide
| field for machinery. Even in the lat
ter case help is necessary at planting
and harvest time. The conditions IN
these islands are generally against the
tools that are most economical OF help,
| both as regards crops raised and the
conditions that they are raised under.
Labor is the necessity of the amol-
tious American farmer as it is of the
ambitious American corporation.
If the small farm talk of these is
lands is merely to provide plantation
labor, then the takers should take an
other breath before they talk of Great
| ing an American community.
The only way to have American Ia
borers is to make the inducements at
tractive enough to keep steady
stream pouring into the islands. OPP
portunity is the lure.

A PUBLIC sANAToRIUM.

Editor Advertiser: It is always
pleasant to have nice things said about
your home-place, and Mr.. Woods re-
port on the Kona climate is gratifying
t, Kona's residents. But his recon-
mandation regarding the profits of
sanatorium may be misleading, /
think
While a sanatorium is much needed
on Hawaii for Hawaii in general, and
while the climatic conditions for its
establishment and maintenance are of
the best, we must not be led into the
belief that such an institution would
be pecuniarily profitable to those who
built and equipped it. It could never
be so.
A sanatorium to be adequate for the
general admission of patients, would
have to be as well equipped as the
best anywhere After investing, say,
800, 900 in the plant, there would be
the cost of maintenance, very con-
siderable item indeed.
We could not hope for any great
number of patients except from our
own islands, and the revenue from
these. at the most liberal estimate,
would not pay the salary of compe-
tent physician in charge. Though we
have one of the finest climates in the
world, if not the finest. and though
| the local conditions are almost classic
| for the establishment of sanatorium
F! (as I said in a paper read at Atlantic
| City last Junel, we are too far away
from populous centers to make such
an investment profitable as an invest
ment 1t would be a dead loss TO the
| stockholders, and I doubt If anybody
except doctors would take hold of sucf
| a venture.
But. as public institution support
ed by the government for the pubic
good. as an almost necessary provision
for the increasing number of tuoercu
lous: as humanitarian institution
not only for the good name of Hawai-
but for the comfort and convenlenc
of invalids who reside here, no fine
thing could be established. We need ii

who would not be glad to send his pa

tenance of a sanatorium here an

to do so.
So far as private enterprise is con
cerned, I see no other way for kon
except it's cottage or home sanator1
distributed here and there throughou

mate, a series of camps like those

Estate and territorial governments al

Arizona railroad have been put into the field within the past two weeks. The right of way for this road in the city of San Die go has been secured with three exceptions. It is believed that actual construction work in the city will begin in the next sixty days.
 Parties in the mountains are working under rush orders from headquarters to complete the surveys in the mountains, and especially over the passes seven ty miles east of San Diego, with all possible dispatch This is taken to mean that Spreckels is expecting war with the South ern Pacific.
 Recently it was announced by the Southern Pacific that mill ions of dollars would be spent in extensions and improvements in California and vicinity. It is more than likely that some of these millions will be used in building q parallel road to the Spreckels line.
 With the Spreckels line built directly into the Imperial valley. having a haul of not more than 175 miles to the sea, the s. P. l would be distanced in controll- ! ing the trade, as the only means now of getting into the valley is by a long, round-about route through Los Angeles.
 That the railroad building race is sure to come is the opinion of many railroad men who have studied the situation carefully for months past. Hartman will not give up the Imperial valley trade without a struggle, and Spreckels means to get it for San Diego if he can beat Harri- man into thas territory.

Past Praying For.

A prominent politician while visiting in Washington recently took his little son with him to the senate gallery. The boy seemed especially interested in Dr. Edward Everett Hale, and his father explained to him that Dr.. Hale was the chaplain of the senate.
 F'0h! he prays for the senate, doesn't he?" asked the lad.
 ''No,7 said the politician, ''he gets up and takes a look at the senate and then prays for the e0Untry."

 The winter climate around Yuma is a thing so intoxicaungly salubrious that no words can describe it. These deserts of America, as we have regarded them heretofore, seem to defy the ills that human nature elsewhere is so prone to contract and suffer from. The atmosphere is as dry as punk, the skies cloudlesSly clear, the air mid as possible, and every breath seems to be an inspiration of new life The United States has an experiment. farm on the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma Here results ever more marvellous than in the valley are produced Down the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most delicate vegeta- ton. Oranges grown at the Federal expert ment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality.

Among some of the greater Improvements which gre being made are a S35. .OO0 school building $75OO0 ice plant, fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, larger passenger depot, and the probability of q new courthouse to cost s7aOOO. There is consider able business done there. but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibilities of the place. They should at once erect an up-tc- -l..A, grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation. If atmosphere were only transportabl9 like mineral waters and one could send consignInentS of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration of it's health giving qualities would bring 0G0 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colorado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by blizZardS and SnowStorms to attract a city full every winter The fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part of the people. But with valley full of an intelligent and industrious rural population, producing fruits and vege- tables poultry, eggs. fresh milk and fragrant butter, Yuma should be one of the most de- Iightful winter resorts in all America. There is everything there to furnish tourists with the most healthful and delicious food, and if the air in that region does not drive doctors 10 seek living elsewhere, it will be because the people do not know how to live properly
 l. will take about three years more to com plcte the Laguna dam, and in ten years from today the attractions Of Yuma as a health resort and the fertility of these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require 5000 in cash to buy single acre of it.

YUMA-SAN DIEGO ROAD
Prospective War Between Spreckels
 and Southern Pacific.

Within sixty days a railroad
 war unprecedented in the history
 of the west will be on, says the
 Los Angeles Examiner.
 The Southern Pacific will be
 lined pp on one side. John D.
 Spreckels, packer and builder ol
 the proposed San Diego and
 Eastern railroad running be- tween San Diego and Yuma, Ar izona, viii be on the other.
 From a source which cannot be questioned comes the informa- tion that General Moses Sher- man and E. P. Clark, president of the Los Angeles Pacific, a Hartman property, have bought or have at this time under op- tion all of the stock and bonds of the Cuyamaca, San Diego and Eastern railroad, @ road of small mileage, but of great importance in the affairs of San Diego. This road runs east of San Diego in the direction of Foster.
 At the present time the South  ern Pacific Is the owner of a grant of land from the Mexican government thirty miles wide. extending from the southern line of Arizona to Ensenada, Mexico. Part of the line of the Cuyamaca, San Diego and Eastern railroad runs in the direction of EnSena- da. The connection between the two roads is obvious.
 It is the purpose of the South ern Pacific to push it's line into San Diego and thus thwart, if possible, the Spreckels interests in getting the rich trade of the Imperial valley. It would be an easy matter for the Southern Pacific to build from Arizona to the Mexican border south of San Diego, and from there, with the CuyamaCa, San Diego and East ern right of way as basis, run q line into the very heart of San Diego. The present depot site of the latter road is on Tenth i street, one of the most desirable locations in the city for termi- n8lS.
 Fhe grant of the Southern Pa citic railway by the Mexican gov runs within few miles of the border line. Surveyors have been at work for months past in this locality. 1t sstated that a line from the Arizona line to the sea has been located by these parties.

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL.

But the object of this story is to call attention once more, ana for perhaps the thousandth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the depoSiting of this mass of debrls during alDthe past ages. Going through the country on the Arizona side of the river for several miles below Yuma, one en- counters the same type of country and soil that
 is found in the Imperial Valley country around Brawley, Calexico and other points west of the riyec. The fertility of the black prairie soils of Illinois has astonished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly 100 years. The fertility of the valley Of the Nile has been matter of history for at least 6 09 years. Those who are familiar with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture. know that this lower Colorado River region sur passes both of then.
 If you ask q farmer along this stretch of country if the soii is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishncnt at your ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether it is 60 feet, 600 or 5000 feet deep. It is practically without bot tom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand disntegrated granite and other rocks that it never balleS. IL is a5 easily worked Gs a heap of ashes, and responds to cultivation in way that is marvellous.

 In all the 125 years since the Republic was founded, also in the half century since California became one of the States Of the Union, and dur ing every year of the last thirty, a realization of the vast riches of the American continent. of the territory of the United States and of this Great Southwest has been more and more as toniShing the minds of men. One would sup pose that by today we knew pretty thoroughly what the uadeveloped resources Of the Great Southwest might reasonably be expected to be- come.

 In residence of forty years on the Coast the writer thought he knew little about what ] there Is on the Coast, Gnd as most of these years have been spent in and around Los An geles, he naturally had q little conceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest.
