RUBBER DEVELOP
MENT At PUMA

The attention of the public has
been chiefly directed toward Nahiku,
Maui, as the rubber center of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, but district which
bids fair to equal, if not exceed, Ma.
hilSu in area planted and success in
producing rubber, is the district of
Puma, on the Island of Hawaii.
Trees were planted at different
points in Puma at the same time that
the first trees were planted in NahilSu,
and show as vigorous growth and as
prolific a production Of rubber as they
do in Nahiku.
A corporation has been formed for
the cultivation and production of rub.
Der in Puma, known as the Pacific De
velopment Company, Limited. 1t has
leased several thousand acres from the
Bishop Estate, about five miles from
the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber Com
pany's mill at Pahoa, and has been
quietly but vigorously prosecuting its
work during the last year and half.
The company is incorporated with
capital of $4,000. Its officers are
F.. G. Brown, president; F. l.. VALID
ron, vice president, and B. Won Damn,
secretary and treasurer.
The company has cleared the forest
from approximately 200 -acres of land
and has planted 36017 Ceara rubber
trees on 113 acres, and 500 Hevea
rubber trees on AZ acres, making a
total planted area of 160 acres of rub
Der.
Planting was begun in May, 1907,
and was completed last summer. The
initiation of the planting was under
the management of Mr.. Webster Of
Wilson-W Webster cane-loading machine
fame. Mr.. Webster recently resigned,
and Mr.. L. Turner, formerly of L.
pointed to the management.
The company is also diversifying its
industries by planting cocoanuts and
pineapples.
1t has already planted out ten acres
of cocoanuts near the beach, the trees
being planted fifteen feet by thirty
feet apart.
The plans are to plant 100 acres of
cocoanuts in the near future.
There is every reason to believe that
the cocoanut branch of the company g
business will be profitable one, as
cocoanuts grow in Puma more luxu-
riantly than in any other part of the
Territory. There are probably five
times as many cocoanuts growing in
Puma as are growing in all the rest
of the Territory put together.
The company planted $4,000 pineap.
ples this last summer and expects to
largely increase its plant next year.
The photographs of rubber trees
printed herewith show the vigorous
character of the growth of rubber
trees in the district of Puma.

AUTO-TROLLEY-
HACK ACCIDENT

A hack struck by an automobile last
night on the Waikiki road opposite the
Levers road was knocked in the air
and dropped upon the Rapid Transit
track just as trolley car came along.
The trolley took hand in the game
and hurled the hack almost into the
ditch completing the wreck begun by
the auto. A woman and baby, who
were riding in the hack, and the driver,
miraculously escaped serious injury, al
though at first it was supposed that the
woman had been badly hurt. She was
hurried to the hospital in the patrol
wagon. Examination disclosed no in
juries, but the shock to her nerves was
certain.
From the statements of passengers
on the car and information gathered
by the police, the auto was en- route to
town. So was the hack. The auto
smashed into the rear of the vehicle
and sent it up in the air, topping it
over on the car tracks. Rapid Tran
sit car bound for Waikiki struck the
hack as it fell on the rails and threw
it entirely over the track.
The auto was reported by the police
to be owned and driven by DIR. Murray,
the hack being driven by Joe Lucca.

BRYAN Tells
WHY HE R'Ah

LINCOLN, November g. While not
caring to discuss at this time the po-
litical effect of the Democratic victory
in his home state or analyze the causes,
William j. Bryan yesterday afternoon
in an informal talk to number Of
friends who called on him, expressed
his pleasure at the result in Nebraska,
and the satisfaction it afforded him to
learn of the election of so many of his
political and personal friends.
A delegation numbering nearly a
hundred from Lincoln visited Mr..
Bryan at Fairview to express to him
their confidence and devotion, and to
assure him that such was the sentiment
of majority of the people of his city
and state. Bryan responded as follows:
Bryan Expresses Qualification
"I am highly gratified over the re-
suits in this state. The national defeat
has not been such disappointment
when we have had SO many things TO
console US. i hope L have convinced
my friends that running for Office has
only been an incident to my work. My
heart has never been set on holding
office, but wanted to do certain work
| and it looked as though the Presidency
might offer the opportunity 10 do that
work. / am sure that in private lifei L
can have the chance 10 do something.
One is not required to hold Office in
order to do big things; one is simply
required to do those things within his
reach, and that much is within The
reach of each of us.
Loyalty of His Friends.
Personally, shall find as much joy
being out of Office, if the returns show
l must be, as / would be in Office.
hope still to be Of influence to bring
about needed reforms. appreciate
very much the confidence and loyalty
of the people near us. 1t has been the
greatest comfort that the election has
given us. The fact that those among
whom we live have shown this conf
dence we appreciate more than 1 can
tell you. 1t has been very kind in you
TO come out here and visit us on this
day."
The defeat he sustained Tuesday did
not weigh heavily on Bryan. He was
one of the most cheerful of those at
his home, and laughed and joked good
naturally with his visitors. Last night
Bryan was the guest of honor at the
banquet of the state Teachers Associa-
ton, where he made short address
He has no other immediate plans than
to rest at his home following his can

Honolulu to be Metropolis.
Director Newell of the United
States Reclamation Service, before he
left the Islands, expressed the belief
that Honolulu will eventually be the
great residential city of the Pacific,
and would grow to the limit of its

Naval Celebration in 1912.
The plans for celebrating the open
ing of Pearl Harbor for naval use, by
a great naval pageant in 1912. have
taken a firm hold on popular imagina-
ton and seem likely to be carried out.
Officials on Kauai.
Acting Governor Mott-Smith, Land
Commissioner Pratt and Superintend.
ent of Public Works Campbell went
to Kauai on Thursday to look into
land matters on the Garden Island.
One of the matters to claim their at.
tention is a project for the exchange
of some public lands for a perpetual

Wireless Telegraph.
The Wireless Telegraph Company
has filed with the Territorial Treas
urer am application for change of
, name to the Hawaiian Telegraph and
Telephone Company, and for authority
to increase its capital stock from $780,.
600 to $l,000,000. The reason given
for this change is that in the present
| formative period of wireless telegra-
ply, the word wireless is not definite
| ly descriptive, and is an obstacle to
: the securing of business away from
/, here to be transmitted to its destina.
ton through the service of this com
pany.

tinues to perform marvellous feats il

ing.
Hamakua Ditch Company.
The Hamakua Ditch Company dur
ing the week received authority tc
change its name to the Hawaiian Ir
| rigation Company. This change was
made at the suggestion of the Londor
syndicate that is negotiating for the
bonds, as it was believed that they
would prove more attractive to invest
1 ors as the bonds of a concern having
a name readily identifying it to the
general public than purely loca
name unknown and unfamiliar to the
general public. John II. McCrossor
sailed for London by the Alameda il
connection with the floating of these
bonds.

The unusual drought on this Island
has SO reduced the water supply fol-

department has been obliged to for

Public Finances.
Auditor Fisher points out that or
the basis of the present treasury bal
ance, and assuming revenue receipts
and expenditures on the same scale as
during the same months a year ago
the Legislature when it meets is like.
ly to have practically empty treas
ury staring it in the face. He gives
as his opinion for this state of affairs
that legislatures in TIE past have paid
little attention to probable revenue in
making their appropriations.

A Revolutionary Machine.

A revolution in the sending and
receiving of telegraph messages is
gradually taking place throughout the
United States, owing 10 the telegraph
printing machines which are being
installed in the metropolitan offices Of
the telegraph companies.
In sending, $ the messages are
punched" or spelled out in the Morse
characters on an endless tape, The
tape is then fed into a sending ma
chine, where a wheel moves it along
and in the right direction The holes
in the tape allow contacts to be made
which control the receiving mechan.
ism. The receiving machine Is some
what like an electrically controlled
typewriter Electrical contracts made
through the holes in the tape cause
the proper type bars to be struck. SO
fast is this automatic working that
the girl operators can receive and
send from 200 to 400 messages IN
nine hours with one machine. The
machines work duplex, two messages
being sent at the same time,--Popu

day.
