SAN FRANCISCO, December a.

SAN FRANCISCO, December al
The Chronicle says:
The present seasons sugar crop OF
the Hawaiian Islands will amount to
100000 tons, worth about $40,00O,OOO.
and II will register the greatest pro-
duction ever known in the islands, and
probably be the standard sized crop
for years to come. Such is the declar-
alton of Colonel Macfarlane, who has
Just returned from general survey OF
the plantations.
The reason for this enormous crop
is the final bringing under a compre-
hensive irrigating system all the great
areas which are adapted to the growth
of sugar cane. AS all the mountain
water sources and all the sugar lands
have been included in the develop
ment, no further considerable increase
in Hawaiis sugar production can be
expected but the perfection Of the ir-
rlgating canals and the bringing OF
water to the crop when 1t is most
needed insure a reasonable reliability
OF this high-standard yield.
When seen at the Fairmont yester-
day Colonel Macfarlane declared that
the big yield of the plantations this
season, fully 20 per cent greater thaV
last year, will probably mean consid-
cradle dividends declared by many Of
the sugar companies in which Cali
fornians are financially interested. The
Hawaiian Commercial, the largest OF
the plantations, is expected to yield
about $4,00O,0O0 worth in the coming
crop; the EVA, about $2,S00,000; the
Oahu, about $2,OOO,OOO; the Makaweh,
about S1,SOOOOO; the onomea, about
81 100 600 worth, making an aggregate
of some $11,7OO,OOO worth from the
five largest plantations, with nearly
three times as much more in the ag-
gregate from all the smaller planta-
tions. All these estimates were based
on only average prices for sugar.
81 have just completed a visit to
most of the plantations of the group
with a member and director of one OF
the great engineering firms of Eng
land" said Colonel Macfarlane. He
went there to report on two Of the
large irrigation schemes in the Kohala
and HamalSua districts of the island OF
Hawaii. These canal systems WILL
supply mountain water to a dozen or
more plantations, which have suffered
in occasional years from drought.
The steady water supply Will in
crease the yield of these plantations
fully so per cent, as 1t did in the case
OF Hawaiian Commercial. Three oi
the plantations that are pretty well
known here and are to be thus benefit
ed are the Paauhau, the Pacific Sugar
Mil, and The Honokaa.
"As an example of what this GER
tain method of irrigation is worth,
might cite the case of large field on
the Hind plantation. For years Its
average yield has been three and a
half ton to the acre. Now, with water
on the new crop, 1t is estimated that
this season the yield will be nine tC
ten tons to the acre. The ground has
been steam plowed very deep, but moi
fertilized, except by the natural sill
Gates in the abundant flow OF noun,
tain water.
There are no new plantations being
started in the islands as the limit tt

Some 1nStIuCtlOuS W PAAS
voters have been issued from the
Office of the attorney general
which instructions tend to be-
wilder and make the ordinary
voter afraid to enter the booth
with his ballet. 1t is probably
true that the man who wrote the
instructions understood them, but
it is probably true that no one
else can or will. Here are a few
instructiops-net all that will be
necessary howeVer-that the Ca
zette gives on its own account,
and which, we trust, can be un-
derstood: Each party that has
candidates will have a separate
ticket with the names OF all quail
flied candidates of that party
printed on it. There will be a
square at the right of the name
of each candidate, the name as on
the election ballot, and in this
square you make the X mark OPP
posite the name of each man for
whom you wish to vote. Before
voting you must secure from the
judges your party ticket or a
blank ticket. But if you write
on blank or independent ticket
the name of any man who is a
party candidate on any ticket,
your ballot will be thrown out.
Neither can you write on the
blank line of your party ticket
the name of any man who appears
ON any party ticket; if you do,
your whole ticket will be thrown
out. For instance, if you have a
Republican ticket and write in on
the blank line the name of J. ID.
Botkin for Governor, your votes
will not be counted for any can
didate but will be thrown out en-
tire. And if you are voting a
Democratic ticket and write IN
the name of Mr.. Stubs or Mr..
Leland, your ballot will be cast
out entire. And if you write on
a blank or independent ticket for
governor. whose name appears on
a party ticket, your ballot will
be thrown out. In other words
when you go into the booth you
must vote a straight party ticket
or YOU will lose your vote. Of
course. it is not necessary that
YOU vote the entire ticket in order
to save your ballot, but the tick
et must not contain any name
save that of a candidate OF your
own party. There are whole
lot of other things about the com
plicated machinery, but this one
thing must always be borne IN
mind: The primary election Law
forces you to vote a straight par
ty ticket, or it throws your ballot
out.-Lawrence Gazette.

THE DOCTORS QUESTION
Advice Against the Use of Harsh
Purgatiyes and PHYSICS

doctors first question when con-
suited by a patient is, "are your
bowels regular?' He knows tina.
ninety-eight per cent of illness is at
tended with inactive bowels and tor
pld liver This condition poisons
the system with noxious gases and
waste matter which naturally ac-
cumulates and which must be re-
moved through the bowels before
health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened TO dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating ac-
ton they force a passage through
the bowels. causing pain and damage
to the delicate intestinal structure
which weakens the whole system,
and at best only produces temporary
relief. The repeated use of such
treatments cause chronic irritation
of the stomach and bowels, hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves,
stiffens their muscles and generally
bring about an injurious habit which
sometimes has fatal results.
