Pioneer has advanced and is selling

] is 81, 100000; it is bonded for 81 ,250 900.
The question has been discussed in
j these columns of whether a part of the
exceptional profits of the present time
! ought not to be applied to the reduc-
/ ton of bonded Indebtedness, where that
i is possible. There has been more or
| less expression of opinion that the bond
reduction policy might be wisely adopt
| ed by Pioneer.
| THE OUTLOOK FOR OLAA.
| Olaa stock has acquired an altogether
new tone in the market during the
past few months. The analysis of
I Olaa's outlook and situation by B. F.
Dillingham;, published in the Advertiser

/ and extensively commented on. For
the most part comment was favorable
and the transactions in Olaa yesterday
assumed considerable proportions.

AMERICAN SUGAR COMPANY.

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-
ductiye one.
KAELEKU WILL PAY A DIVIDEND
During the week Harry Armitage
sold block of Kaeleku stock at s12
par value SO, Mr.. Grinbaum before
he left on the Korea for the Coast stat
ed that the plantation would this year
pay dividend of five per cent. The
company is capitalized at $500, 00G in
shares of $40. 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 KEKAIA STOCK.
Harry Armitage also sold a block OF
$50 shares of Kekaha stock at s11o. This
is the first transaction in the stock of
this plantation for long time. The
stock is very closely held, there being
only about a dozen or fifteen stock
holders. This is said to be the only
plantation in the Islands which secures
crops from twenty year rattoons.
INTEREST IN PAAUHAU.
A considerable amount of interest is
being centered in Paauhau After a
yield of 1850 tons the year of 1907 was
closed with a cash balance in round
numbers of S30.S1S, which with adj
vances to planters of S3511, and rent
advances of s10,937. made a total of
S45.266. Liabilities amounted to sf317.
The plantation is not bonded. Divi-
dends to the amount of SIS, 600 month
or S18o,o0o for the year were paid out
of the net profits of $3.50. $50. and the
remainder, amounting to about $4,000
put in improvements. This was accom-
plished with sugar averaging SIS ton
gross. Sugar is now very nearly $50
a ton. and the plantation expects a
yield of $500 tons, if not more. The
stock is strong at IS bid and Is IL

Although the tramp had seen a
great deal of life, he was no Judge
of character; otherwise he would
never have said what he did to Miss
Cornelia Hawkins When she said
she would give him good dinner if
he would saw and split wood enough
to pay for it, he attempted to appeal
to her sympathy.
Madam" he replied, sadly, 'Td
be glad to saw and split the wood.
Id be glad odo anything, but I'm
not physically strong. l have a, weak
heart, madam, and have to look out
for it. You see l carry my life in

what was meant for a wan, pathetic
smile.

an incredulous sniff. as she glanced
at the palms outstretched for aid.

ALIENS DENIED PASSAGE.

PHILADELPHIA, March is. -
Secretary of Commerce And Labor
Oscar S. Straus. who was in this city
yesterday, in an interview upon the
immigration question, said that more
than $4,000 applications for passage
to the United States were rejected at
the agencies of the several steamship
lines in European cities during the
last fiscal year, for fear that the
character of the applicants was such
that the steamship company would
be compelled by the immigration au-
thorities of this country to take them
back to the port whence they would
sail to this country.

WEALTHY WIDOWS

CHICAGO. March 1S.-Miss Mar
ion Grey. the convicted head of the
Searchlight Club, an affinity agency,
formerly of Elgin, ILL.,, was today
again given ten days continuance
by Judge Lands in the Federal
Court. When the case is again called
the court will dispose of it. The
first matter to decide is the motion
for new trial. If this is denied,
Miss Grey will be sentenced.
The case was continued ten days
ago on Miss Grey's request, because
she declared she could produce some
wealthy widows" to prove that her
advertisements Were not sham. in
court she produced letter from a
Dakota widow who claimed to be
worth $4,000.
That is not the class of widow |
want to hear from" said Judge Ian
dis. In these advertisements the
widows were declared to be worth
from four to six times this amount.
You locate a widow and | shall bring
her from any part of the United
States at the governments expense. =

Big Mill FOR
HARRIS Mine

J. I. Stevens of the Harris Mining.
and Milling Company left last nigh
for Denver to look after a car of ore
from his property. which is being
treated in that city. The company
has been experimenting at different
places for some time past, with
view of deciding upon the best meth
cd of handling its output. A similar
test run is now being made in the
Kinkead mill at Virginia City.
The company is arranging to in
stall 50-ton plant on it's property
and work on this is to begin as soon
as the necessary machinery has been
secured.
Stevens has just completed a con-
tract with the Rocky Hill Company
to extend it's power line to his prop
erty. The power is to be used in
operating the mill, hoist and other
machinery.
Reno is the Quitting point for this
property, which is not more than Is
miles south of here, adjoining the
West Comstock property. 1t is be-
lieved to be one of the best proper
ties in Washoe county. Work has
continued steadily even through the
recent depression, and Stevens states
that there will be no interruption I'M
til the mill is in operation.
Stevens expects to be absent about
three weeks.-Reno Journal
