SITE FOR THE
NEW COLLEGE
College Of Agriculture
to Be Located in
Manoa Valley.

The College of Agriculture and Ne
ehanie Arts, provided for by the last
legislature, is to be located in High
land Park not far from College Hills.
A tract of 1887 acres has been secured
which abuts on tract of 30.06 acres
of government land known as the land
of Puahia, which will eventually also
be part of the property of the col
lege.
The tract in Highland Park consists
of Blocks Z, and in the Highland
Park tract in Manoa valley bounded by
Vancouver Highway, Puahi street, Ma
lie Way, Laukoa street and Manoa
avenue, and is easily reached by the
College Hills Division of the Rapid
Transit route, or by the extension Of
Metcalf avenue.
This property has been secured by
an exchange with Frank K. Howard
for 5.41 acres of land on the town side
of Makiki valley adjoining Howard's
property on Kewalo street. 1t was
formerly a part of the water reserva-
tion in connection with the 'Makiki
reservoir when the water was brought
down from the springs to the reservoir
in an open stream. Now that the water
is brought down from the springs by
a pipe, the reservation is no longer
needed. Mr.. Howard will simply add
this 5.41 acres to his already spacious
grounds.
By this exchange site for the Agri-
cultural College is secured which per-
mits of expansion, without further ex-
pense, to almost 46 acres in Manoa
valley, easily accessible, and in fine
residence locality, and one also well
suited to its purposes.
Before the exchange was made, Land
Commissioner Pratt had both pieces of
property appraised, and ON the basis of
the appraisement the government got
little the best of the exchange.

D|sFRANCH|SEMENT Of
THE NEGRO IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, July 3I.-By a vote of 81
to the Georgia Senate adopted a
drastic negro disfranchisement bill.
The measure now goes to the House,
where it will receive an overwhelming
majority. To vote under the proposed
law man must own or pay tax on
$500 worth of property or be able to
read and write a paragraph of the
Constitution of the State or of the
United States. If he can not comply
with these provisions, and few negroes
can, he is entitled to register and vote
if he descended from airy man who
fought in any of the wars in which the
United States or Confederate states
participated. Lastly, he is entitled to
register and vote if he has a proper
conception of his duty to his State and
Nation.
Under the last-named provision Every

A DESPERATE DEMAND FOR COM
PETENT LABOR.
(New York American.)

Current disclosures of a peOnage
system in the turpentine and lumber
camps in some of the southern states
show how urgent is the demand for
labor. There is nothing that can con-
done the inhumanities revealed. Grim
inal prosecutions of the employers
have taken place. But it is also shown
that trains filled with laboring men
on the way to these places of law
less imprisonment were beset by
agents of reputable firms who tried to
persuade them to stop and go to
work.
Entirely aside from the moral prin-
ciples involved, the use Of bloodhounds
and mounted scouts to bring laborers
back to camp is graphic picture of
present economic conditions.
1t is to the honor Of Alabama that
a fragrant case of peonage was exposed
by the editors of Southern journal
and that the men guilty of the bar
barities inflicted upon labor were ad-
vnturers from another part of the con-
tinent.
Unfortunately, the abolition of this
new system of slave-driving does not
solve the labor problem. Throughout
the American continent there is de-
mand for competent workmen in many
fields. An interview was published in
Washington recently, stating that the
Commissioner Of Agriculture Of the
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-16

state of New York had discovered that
fifty thousand farm hands are needed
in this commonwealth at once. The
South and West are in even greater
need of labor.
This is one of the inevitable results
of expanding prosperity. 1t is, in fact,
a part of a world demand.
The Chilean government has just
voted $4,000 pesos to be expended in
securing immigrants for that republic.
Their passage is paid to Chile and en-
ployment is found for them upon ar
rival. A home is being built for them
at Valparaiso in which they will be
temporarily housed. 1t is hoped to get
ten thousand immigrants during 1907,
il possible, and if the program is sue
cessful the appropriation for the same
purpose will be increased next year.

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-16
ANOTHER STIRRING YEAR OF sue.
CESS.

Mr.. Hearst's New York American
admits that another stirring year of
American success is assured. So
enormous and unprecedented is the
demand for iron that iron scraps of
all kinds and variety are eagerly seiz-
ed on and shipped without delay to the
famine-stricken furnaces. The junk
man and the iron scrap man are hav-
ing profitable inning. The iron ore
beds have not been exhausted. but
this tremendous consumption, due to
an ever advancing prosperity, has
made it necessary to supplement the
products Of the mines by the contri-
buttons Of the scrap piles.
The predictions of stock manipula-
tors that popular criticism of railways
would force the transportation cOrpO-
ration to inaugurate a policy of re-
trenchment is cOntrOverted by unpre-
cedented orders for steel rails and
structural steel. The large independ-
ent producers Of iron have all sold
their output for the coming year.
Consumers, who have not yet had their
orders placed, are wondering where
they can get them filled.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany has, it is said, refused to consider
new contracts. The Republic Iron
and Steel Company cannot according
to Wall street advices, undertake ad-
ditiOnal orders in 1907. One company,
has made an advance of fifty cents a
ton on iron. There are American rep
resentatives of iron interests now in
Europe purchasing iron. But iron is
IN brisk demand in the old world also.
The mammoth plant of the United
States Steel Corporation is breaking
all its records in the mass of material
it is now turning out. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that even this powerful corpo-
ration, with it's firm and widespread
grip on supplies, will run short of raw
material. The orders going into steel
mills are from 20 to 80 per cent in
excess OF those Of last year.
