LOCAL GAS COMPANY
INCREASES ITS STOCK

A special meeting of the Honolulu
Gas Company, Limited, was called and
held on Thursday, the 18th inst. The
object of the meeting was consideration
of the affairs of the company, with a
proposed increase of the capital stock.
The report of the manager shows a
most satisfactory and encouraging state
OF affairs. The present manufacturing
plant is capable of producing 100000
feet per day. 1t was decided to double
this plant, and it is hoped that by the
first of January manufacturing plant
capable of producing 100000 feet per
day will be installed.
This required new funds, and it was
decided to increase the capital stock
to $250,000 by the issue of 500 shares
of new stock, the par value being 800.
ihls VIII NC OncItu 10 lne present
shareholders in proportion to their pres
ent holdings, as the bylaws require.
Consumers OF gas may be interested
to know that they are getting their
lights or fuel at considerably lower
rate than exists ON almost the entire
Pacific coast. A few cities furnish gas
somewhat lower, such as San Francisco
Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle, al
though Honolulu gas is furnished about
as low as by any of the three last
named
The company has an outstanding is
sue of $25O,0OO bonds, which draw siH
per cent, and 100000 of stock, all Of
which is paid up excepting final 12H
per cent. due on the 100000 of pre-
ferred stock.
Neither stock nor bonds have beer
placed upon the market, here or il
San Francisco, for the reason that th'
promoters of the company determined
that there should he no sacrifice il
value by selling either bonds or stool
J at a discount.

COTTON TO BE PLANTED
IN LARGE AREA THIS YEAR

Cotton growing on an extensive scale
and by men who have the necessary
capital, and abundant experience in
practical agriculture, is to be under
taken.
More than five hundred acres will
be planted within short time. The
cultivation is to be undertaken both
on this island and on Kauai, and Gay
and Robinson on the latter island are
going to turn some of their sugar lands
into cotton.
The cotton to be grown is not the
ordinary cotton of the South, but Sea
Island cotton, cotton with n long
staple, which commands price nearly
twice as high as the ordinary cotton
of the States brings--a cotton which
experiment has proved will grow well
here.
Experiments have been carried on
at different places and under different
eonditions,'' said DIR. Wilcox, director
of the Hawaii Experiment Station,
"suficient to demonstrate the suitabil-
ity of soil, climate and conditions here
for cotton. Within short time con
siderable areas of cotton will be plant
ed. A number of land owners in the
region of the Peninsula on this island
will undertake the cultivation of cot
ton, and on Kauai, Gay g. Robinson
will put in considerable areas, ever
turning some of their cane lands int
cotton lands.
"Cotton raising is a matter Of Sc
leeting seed to meet conditions ant
produce the best cotton those conditions
are capable of. At the experiment sta
tion we have experimental plots which
though not large, are large enough t,
give very important results.
"This cultivation of cotton is rec
ognition of the necessity of diversity
ing the industries of the islands, AM
an effort TO do it. But it has othe
value, too II is beginning to be rec
ognized that even the sngar lands o
these islands cannot be eontinuousl
cropped with cane without being al
fected by it. There must be alterna
tions of crop, otherwise the matter o

keeping them up by fertilizers becomes
too expensive. Cotton is likely to
prove a good crop to alternate with.
For one thing, it is a short crop. You
plant it and within four months you get
a crop, and you can pillow up your lands
again. In this way it may prove a
suitable crop for the hOmesteader and
small farmer.
"Not only is the cotton itself val
uable product, but the cottonseed is a
valuable product. Cottonseed oil has
a high value, and cottonseed meal is
one of the most valuable stock foods
that can be found In these islands
where the variety of foods for stock
is so limited this source of supply
ought to be especially valuable"

MEASURES FOR THE

(From Saturdays AdvertIser.)

(trom saturdays Advertser.)
"l shall have u number of matters
to present to the Land Commission
when it meets in Honolulu - said Land
Commissioner Pratt yesterday. 81 have
not fully formulated them yet, but 1
am working on them. This l can say,
that every one o. them will be sug-
gestion for the application here of
some measure or practise in the admin
istration of the land laws of the Unit
ed States which has been found to work
well there. For instance, the General
Land Office of The United States has
lately adopted new form of applica-
tlon and affidavit for government land.
This requires the applicant to state
under oath that he is applying for the
land in good faith and with the inten-
ton of eultivating it and making ii his
home, and not in the interest of any
other person or persons or corporation.
And under this form of affidavit and

cuted for perjury if there is any false
statement in the affidavit.
"One of the measures from which
most is to be hoped is under the rec
lamstioa measures of the United
States, if we can get them in operation
here. At Waimea, Hawaii, the govern.
ment owns thousands of acres that lie
rich, and fair TO the ose, if water can
be brought to them from the Kohala

LIFTING WATER
To HIGH LEVEL

A pumping plant of some magnitude,
utilizing electricity produced by water
power, has just been completed by The
Hawaiian Electric Company for the
Kekaha Sugar company on Kauai.
About year ago o large ditch, car
rying water from Waimea valley to the
lands of Kekaha and Mana, was com
pleted, and in making plans for this
ditch, which carries more water than
is necessary for the low lying lands, n
fall of 275 feet was planned at Wal
ava, Immediately back of the Knudsen
homestead. At this point it was pro.
posed to install an electric generator
and water wheel to produce power for
motor-driven pumps to take the water
from the ditch and pump it to a higher
level.
On January 1st contracts we're placed
with The Hawaiian Electric Company
for the complete installation of the nee
essary machinery which is now in sue
cessful operation. A generator and
water wheel of $50 horse power capa.
city are installed in power house at
the bottom of the fall, which is 275
feet, and the power is transmitted to
three pumping stations, one mile, two
miles and three miles, respectively,
from the generating station.
| At stations No and two Byron
Jackson 2.stage high lift centrifugal
pumps are installed to pump water to
a minimum head Of 200 feet and a
maximum head of 375 feet, the capa-
city of the pumps varying from one
million to two million gallons each per
day, depending upon the head utilized.
These pumps are direct connected to
$50 horse power induction motors hav-
ing rotative speed of 1850 revolutions
per minute. At station No. two simi.
lar pumps connected to two 200 horse
power motors, are installed to pump
water to a height of 200 to 375 feet
and having capacity of two to three
million gallons each per day.
These pumps are now in successful
operation and the Kekaha Sugar com
pany are planting fields which will be
supplied by water from this source.
They will be enabled to take in from
800 to 600 acres additional virgin land
whinb will nrn1uoa ,,ar,, loo,r, a,or.
In order to produce the proper rotation
of crops the first cane will probably
be taken off in the year 1910 and from
1900 to 1900 tons of sugar should re
suit. This will be very substantia
increase in the Kekaha Sugar com
Ipany's output and taken with the in
creased output due to the use of the
fresh ditch water on the lower fields
the returns to the Kekaha stockholder.
should be very large.
The electric machinery was built by tn,
Westinghouse Electric and Manufact
uring Company at Pittsburg; the watel
wheel by the Pelton Water Wheel Com
pany of San Francisco, and the pump
by the Byron Jackson Iron Works o.
West Berkeley, Cal. The electric gen
orator produces power of 5000 volts
this voltage is used in transmitting
power to the pumping stations, and il
then stepped down through transform
ers and utilized at 440 volts in tn,
motors
In addition to pumping the Kekahi
mill is now lighted from this station
and considerable power will be utilize,
in the mill for operating the machin
shop, centrifugals, and for other pur
poses.
The entire plant was planned and in
stalled by The Hawaiian Electric Com
pany, Limited.

New Clew to Stolen Mail BAGS.

The Leader this morning receiy-
ed the following statement under
date OF Aug. 1lth, from Deputy
Sheriff Edward Smith, of Bogue
Chitto, in reference to the con-
tents OF the mail pouch stolen
from the Brookhaven depot on
the morning Of July 3lst:
i went up to Cold Springs this
morning and found, at Cold
Springs switch, about $2500
worth of checks, warrants and
other papers that were taken
from the mail pouch which was
stolen from Brookhayen a few
mornings since.
These papers were found in
the weeds and bushes just east of
the stone and gravel siding made
for passengers in getting off and
on the train. They were scatter
ed, all along from the south end
of said siding on east side of rail
road for Is or so yards north; !;
sumo of them having been run
over by the cars. They were
doubtless thrown from some fast
train. One check was found on
west side of railroad opposite
where the others were found.
I'VE have no clew as to who the
guilty parties are. y

Judge Finds Flaw in the Biz Fine.

We are indeed living in CONNER
cial age. The Standard Oil fine
does not have to be paid, says a
Chicago Judge. And the mighty
judge leaves on the next train TO
play golf with Rockefeller in the
East. Incidentally a brother of
the mighty Judge in Boston,
clears up fortune on the rise in
oil he bought several days pre-
vious to the handing down of the
decision.
Not only is the fine wiped away,
but John d. reaps a harvest of
several more millions. There is
no question but that Rockefellef
is guilty, just as guilty as the man
who steals a loaf of bread to feed
his starving children. But no
time is wasted in making the poor
wretch lay out his days in Jail for
his uffense. The machinery of
the law works smoothly in his
case.
By the way, John D. Rookie
feIIer is going to write the history
of his life in thirty thousand
words. He ought to add a chap
ter to be headed, How / met
stern justice, and how it looked
when got through with it. -"
