CHANCES IN
FLAX INDUSTRY
What Can Be Done With the
Famous New Zealand
Product.

There are two men in town looking
for each other. Both have decided to
promote the culture of New Zealand
fax in Hawaii One has the plant
growing and 200 acres of ground TO
devote to its culture; the other is from
the fax country of New Zealand, and
has the experience; both are looking
for the man with capital as third
partner
Mr.. B. O. Clark, father of the pine
apple industry in Hawaii, long ago
sought TO foster New Zealand fax on
the Island of Oahu, his plants are
thriving and he expects soon to create
more fortunes for people In Hawaii out
of New Zealand fax than have been
made in pines. Mr. C. F. Maxwell of
New Zealand, newcomer, is also a
fax enthusiast, and believes that it
will in time become one of our staple
crops. Speaking. yesterday morning at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Annie
Kearns, he said:
"New Zealand fax will grow any
where in these Islands, from the sandy
seashore to high up the mountain
sides It's fiber is the ideal thing from
which to manufacture our sugar bags,
both the inner and outer bags. tt
would take no more than a capital of
$4,000 to equip mill. the milled fiber
being worth $3.50 ton, or half as
much as Manila hemp. New Zealand
fax would grow splendidly as a wind
brake on the cane fields, and as a
hedge to protect banana patches would
prove IDEAL it is a good fertilizer, and
does not impoverish the soil; could be
used in the rough to bind cane, and is |
good as rope; the leaf, singed, il tough |
and flexible as whalebone.' IT would |
redeem the Kauai mountain swamps
and many at present seemingly waste |
it by hand it is worth 5000 a ton. Let /
some keen American invent mill that /
will clean it well, and there are miE I
lions in it, as it would prove more lu- /
crative thaR cane or pineapples. Let
us by all means, however, make our
own sugar bags instead of importing
them. | viii tell You something about
it, as I grew up with the fax plants
in New Zealand.
The fiber prepared by the New
Zealand Maoris from the leaf of the
so-called fax plant is beautifully soft
and silky, and has never been equal
ed by any European process of manu-

facture. This fact has puzzled many
flax millers, but the explanation is sim
pie. There are several varieties of
harakeke, or korari, which is the com
mon Maori name for the plant When
the Maori required "muka. or fiber,
for a fine mat. he selected the 'tihore :
variety of fax, which yields a beauti-
ful silky thread. This variety was
planted by the natives near their set
Elements, and highly priced The com
mon harakeke grew Iuxuriantly
everywhere, and its tough leaves serv-
ed every want Of the Maori, from tying
up a pig TO making pack straps TO
carry his potatoes to market. The
ancient native mode of manufacture
was TO cut with clam shell through
the tough vegetable substance of the
leaf near the bulb. ana at right angles
10 its length, then bend the blade. and
with quick upward movement Of the
shell the green matter enveIopiug the
fiber was stripped of. leaving the
fiber white and clean. Il was surpris-

New Zealand has one great and grow
ing industry which is peculiarly her
own Sheep and cattle are not native
to the colony, and in wool and meat,
butter and cheese. and also in timber
and minerals, other countries are for
midabie competitors. But the New
Zealand fax plant is a native of these
islands only, within whose limits the
fax grows everywhere.
The native race had long had their
own methods of using its tough fibre
for clothing and for fastening any
thing TO anything else. and when the
pioneer colonists gave the Phornium
tenax the name By which il is still
generally known, they were thinking,
evidently, not of the appea rance Of
the plant. but of its use. Nothing. TO
the eye. could be more unlike the fax
Of Northern Europe. whose crowding
heads of light blue flowers. hiding the
slender stems and scanty leaves, make
many a broad field in Yorkshire look
ike a reflection of the sky. Our fax
swamp is clothed in sombre colors. I'M
less the sunshine strikes the glossy
blades and makes them all CLEAN and
shadows. The plant grows like a tuft
OF gigantic grass; the blades are usually

cd. That's Natures method. Electricity
builds up. supplies strength --nourish-
ment to the body. Drugs destroy, tear
down. because they contain poison In
stead of nourishment. OF course, they
can force an organ 20 act, but that or
gan is weaker after the effect of the
drug has passed of. Drugs stop pain
temporarily by Supplying the nerves,
but the pain comes back and you have
TO take the drug again. Every dose
weakens the nerves.

The highest peak of the Australian
Alps, Mt. Kosciusko, 1900 feet high,
has been climbed by 4 motor car. It
is recalled that this peak was named
by a Polish refugee, Count Paul de
.Strfelecki, who found gold in the in
terror OF Australia, but at the request
OF the governor Sir George Gibbs, who
feared the consequences of a gold
fever, he refrained from publishing his
discovery. 1t was notable example
of self-restraint.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1908-06-27

The national government. which de
sires to be honest, nevertheless is in
considerable amounts because OF the
omission OF persons to call for what is
due. And that seems q singularly odd
thing. An instance is furnished in the
announcement that between $4,000 900
and 100000 in government bonds
which matured last July have not been
presented for payment, and this means
Of course. that somebody, or several
somebodies, has that amount OF cash
lying idle without getting any income
For OF course when the bonds matured
interest ceased The explanation is
suggested that the past-due bonds may
represent investments in behalf OF
estates. the executors or managers OF
which have been negligent in calling
for the money. There is remissness
somewhere. but obviously Uncle Sam
is not at fault

The story OF reserved forests has yet

The increase in population through

Der OF those who live in Greater New
