s45,266. Liabilities amounted to s1317.
The plantation is not bonded. Divi-
dends to the amount of $4,000 a month,
or $4,000 for the year were paid out

plished with sugar averaging SIS a ton
gross. Sugar is now very nearly $50

increased dividend is expected.

clared.
PIONEER ADVANCING.
Pioneer has advanced and is selling
for 1872. The capital of this plantation

AMERICAN SUGAR COMPANY.

The long inchoate plans for trans
forming the American Sugar Com
pany's property on Molokai, now used
for ranch purposes, seem to be taking
some definite form. Although no an
nouncement has been made, it is a
matter of more or less current knowl-
edge that very careful studies of the
possibilities and the cost of getting a
supply of mountain water are being
made. A tunnel proposition to bring
the water to where it can be utilized
is being considered. There seems to
be a universal belief that if water in
sufficient supply can be brought with
in reasonable cost to the level lands,
a sugar plantation of immensely profit
able character can be developed. The
land is abundant and is considered
very rich and well adpted to sugar. If
a sugar property such as seems FEAST
BILE should be developed, it would
transform one of the least productive
islands of the group into a highly pro-
ductive one.

he left on the Korea for the Coast stat
ed that the plantation would this year
pay a dividend of five per cent. The
company is capitalized at 100000 in
shares of SO. The crop this year will
be about 5000 tons. Next years crop
is expected to be about $4,000 tons. The
operating expenses are said to be ex-
ceedingly low.
- A DEAL IN KEKAHA STOCK.
Harry Armitage also sold a block of
$50 shares of Kekaha stock at $40. This
is the first transaction in the stock of
this plantation for a long time. The
stock is very closely held, there being
only about a dozen or fifteen stock

THE CUBAN CROP.
The statement made in this column
last week that the estimates for the
Cuban crop had seemingly adjusted
themselves to the 900,0O0ton figure is
confirmed by later reports brought by
the Hongkong Maru. Willett & Gray,
who have come down in their esti-
mates with greater reluctance than
any other authorities, now speak Of
that figure as being the probable one
for the crop.
Smith & Schipper, under date Of

tions:
THE number of centrals grinding is
reduced to IA, as compared with 1874 the

CONTEST VERY CLOSE
But Indications Point to Victory
for Allison in Iowa.
CUMMINS MEN CONFIDENT
Claim Their Candidate Will Be Chosen
United States Senator by Ten
Thousand Majority.

Des Moines, a., June 3.-Returns
from over 800 precincts indicate that
Senator Allison has defeated Governor
Cummins in the fight for the Republi-
can senatorial nomination. These
primaries indicate that the result will
be close, but that the majority will be
with Allison. The Allison men are
claiming at least 10000 majority. The
Cummins men do not concede this,
but make counter claims of about
10000 majority. The result is so close
and the returns so incomplete that it
may take an official count to determine
the result.
The victory of Allison may carry
with it victory also for Carroll for
governor over Garst, although the re-
turns on the Republican gubernatorial
nomination are altogether incomplete.

trict Prouty is leading Hull.

WITH SOLEMN RITES.
Cornerstone Of Pro-cathedraI Laid in
Minneapolis.

Cornerstone Of Pro-cathedraI Laid in
Minneapolis.
With all the solemn splendor and
dignity characteristic of Roman Cath
Ollie ceremony, the effect of which
was heightened by crystal blue
sky, the ceremonies attendant upon
the laying of the pro-cathedral
cornerstone at Minneapolis were
carried out to the minutest detail be-
fore a vast concourse of people which
extended for blocks around the review
ing stand. 1t was an experimenting
event for the church, not only in Min
neapolis, but the Northwest.
For more than an hour and a half
devout parishioners from the two
cities, as we'll as scores of communi-
ties in the state, filed past the review
ing stand, 10000 strong. This tribute
to the strength and influence of the
church was viewed by distinguished
prelates from various parts of the
country and the apostolic delegate
from the Vatican at Rome, the assem-
blage including archbishops, bishops,
monsignori and abbots. Following
the sacred rites at the laying of the
cornerstone a multitude surged about
the speakers platform and the review
ing stand. Including both those seat
ed in the stand and the thousands who
packed the street it is probable that
fully $4,000 persons attended the cere-
monies.
The actual rites attendant upon the
laying of the cornerstone were per-
formed by Monsignore Diomede Falco-
MO, apostolic delegate. The opening
address was made by Archbishop John
Ireland, followed by Governor John A.
Johnson, resenting the state; James
J. Hill, the foremost figure in the up
building of the Northwest and dis
tinguished patron of the church; May
or J. G. Haynes, representing the city
of Minneapolis; F. A. Crosse, who
spoke for the laity of the city, and w.
P. Devereaux, representing the pro.
cathedral executive committee.

RECORD AERIAL TRIP.
Balloon Makes Eight Hundred Miles
in Eleven Hours.

III 6ISVen TOURS
Clear Lake, S. D., June 3.-The bal
loon Chicago, which assembled at Quin-
cy, ILL.,, landed at Drayer, eight miles
southwest of here, making a sensa-
tional flight and smashing a number
of records.
Charles A. Coey of Chicago, Captain
c. u. Bumbaugh of St. Louis and
Charles Leichliter of Chicago and a
small dog made the long and thrilling
aerial trip. The men enjoyed the
dangers and the pleasures of the ex-
perience and the little dog seemed to
take both with nonchalance.
Computing on an air line basis, the
aeronauts say the Chicago covered 800
miles in exactly eleven hours, or an
average of seventy-five miles an hour.
The aeronauts say that the actual dis
lance was more than 800 miles and
that they probably maintained a fight
of nearly eighty miles an hour.
