The Growth of Greed.

Greed grows with groveIng, and
some men have a positive genius for
it. Witness the millions that they are
piling up to no good end, and for no
great purpose. These millions speak
well for their greed-if anything can
speak well of greed-and this is the
only tribute that will ever be paid to
them-that they succeeded well in
what they started out to do. AS wit
nesses to their success they can call
the ghosts of ruined men, hungry
women and starving children. and
there will be no one to dispute their
testimony. Such is materialism in its
commonest form and in its coarsest
aspect.-Joel Chandler Harris, in
Uncle Remus' Magazine.

The TAX

DEPUTY NEELY SAYS HE WOULD
NOT ACCEPT PROMOTION TO
HOLTS POSITION.

Il only wish ! could made an ap-

Frear this morning in answer to a
question as to whether the tax office
vacancy would be filled today. The
governor said further in reply to ques-
tions that he mad a number of names
under consideration, but was not able
to reach a decision yet, though he
would much like to have the question
settled
There has been some talk of a pro-
motion of A. w. Neely, who was next
under Holt in the tax office, but Nicely
said this morning that he would not
under any circumstances take the job
of running the Office for the salary al
lowed. 1t is $50 more than Nicely gets
now, and the additional work and res
possibility is great. The tax commits

difficult work up to the assessor. II

Neely.
1t is understood that the governor
has lot of names under consideration
though there is not the usual activity
in seeking the position Henry Hapai

as not in it because he has a better
position now, but it is thought that
George Smithies, deputy insurance
commissioner, would accept. Eben
Low, also, it is understood, would be
willing to tackle the billet.

CRIMPING
WATER FRONT OF HONOLULU
CLEAR OF 1T BUT SUFFERS
FROM "PLASTERING."

Ship Fort George, Captain Fullertno
got away this morning bound for Della

and it is the boast of the shippers in
port that she got clear without the
help of a shipping-master, Superinten-
dent Everton of the Seamans Institute

the case with the bark Nuuanu which
sailed Saturday for New York and
similar conditions will be recorded in
regard to the ship Ersltine NJ. Phelps.
United States Shipping Commission
er H. N. Almy, Waterfront Police Or
ficer Reeves, Superintendent Averton
and the captains in port are arrayed
against anything in the crimping line,
Almy leading the battle and having
already taken radical steps toward the
elimination of stealing sailors from
one ship to sign them on another and
the use of booze to further the end.

ant treasurer; T. r. Robinson, audi
tor; F. w. Macfarlane and Edward

The report of Manager John T. Moir
showed expectations of a consider
ably bigger area this year than last,
though the year just ended was a fav-
orable one, The report is as follows:
ITO the President, Directors and
Stockholders of the Onomea Sugar
Company:
"Gentlemen:-I herewith submit to
you my annual report of the Onomea
Sugar Company for the year ending
December 31st, 1907.
"All things considered we have had
very favorable year, with no serious
losses or breakdowns.
Outside or field work has been very
expensive owing to the very wet sum-
mer and fall, not being able to get rid
of the weeds, but now Except for a
few places everything is in pretty
fair condition.
"Mill-About April, Of 1907, it was
decided to make some improvements
in the mill, consisting of new crusher,
new rollers, new gearing and new en-
gine practically a new outfit, which
we expect Will increase our extraction
from 1 to 112 per cent, costing about
$4,000 in all.
"Boiling-house.- has not been
necessary to do anything in this de-
partment, except installing a Howe
Juice Scale; we had the tanks on hand,
and only had to purchase the scale
mechanism and structural iron, cost
ing in all about $1,000.
"All of the new machinery has been
landed, the last of it having been
landed on the 14th of January, and il
it all goes together as it should do, we
hope to be able to start grinding about
February 1st, possibly few days ear
lier.
I'm landing the heavy machinery we
have been put to a great deal of trou-
BILE and expense at our landing up the
gulch by a bar of sand and gravel hav-
ing formed from time to time across
the entrance to our wharf, something
that the writer has not seen before IN

IQuiqui and Tocopilla are only about
20 miles apart, on the northern coast
of Chile. They are between Valpa-
raiso, and Callao and the Japanese
steamer has therefore been in the vicin-
ity which the American fleet has been
traversing. Equipped with wireless,
she might easily have been picking up
all the messages which have been
passing among the vessels of Evans
fleet. The incident is apparently one
not unlikely to lead to calls for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Japanese steamship Kasato Maru
was here in November last from Japan
and left on November Z for Callao
where she arrived on December 12.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-02-18

She was not equipped with wireless
when in this port.
She was nominally commanded by
Captain Filmer, an ancient mariner
but Mori was her Japanese master.
While she is a Togo Kisen Kaisha
vessel she is given in Lloyds as be.
longing to the Japanese government,

The Kasato Maru was built in 1900
by Wigham, Richardson & Co., at

in length, so feet beam and 10 feet in
depth of hold. She is registered at

HATCH BEFORE COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON February 1O-Judge
F. M. Hatch of the Territory of Ha-
waii spoke before the House Commit
tee on Territories today and urged a
favorable report on the bill amending
the Hawaiian land laws. He declared
that his people greatly desired that
the public lands should be disposed of
to settlers instead of being leased to
sugar growers. He declared that some
leases had been made covering thirty
years.

TO MEET
MR.. WI
COMMERCIAL CLUB PLANNING A
GREAT EVENT FOR NEXT SAT-
URDAY NOON.

At special meeting of the House
Committee of the Commercial Club
yesterday afternoon plans were adopt
ed for a very interesting session at
noon next Saturday, when Wu Ting
Fang, probably the most distinguish
ed Chinaman living, as far as the oc-
cidental world is concerned, is expect
ed to be the guest Of honor He is on
the Siberia, which left Yokohama for
Honolulu last Thursday.
1t was decided to invite the visitor
to a special lunch at 1890 and,
through Consul Chang Tso Fan, to ask
ten leading local Chinese to also be
present. Governor Frear will also he
a guest. WI Ting Fang will probably
address the Club and his remarks, of
course, will be of absorbing interest.
The committee further decided to
keep open house during the afternoon,
up to five o'clock and members, friends
and ladies will be welcome. Light re-
freshments will be served. The sug-
clubs keep open house in the same
way, and it will probably be carried
out.
The members of the committee are
James Wakefield, chairman; ]. F. Nor
gan, NJ. Phillips, F. L. Waldron and
R. H. Trent.
