George Williams, Hilo, discussing
land matters and giving an oppor-

w. o. Aiken of Maui were there at
different times. Ryan presented his
arguemnts on land matter conditions

10000 TREES IN AN ORCHARD
ID. NJ. Thomas Will Have Largest One.
Man-OWned Orchard in State
Over 200 Acres.

The largest one-man-owned apple
orchard project that has been heard
of in Washington is the one proposed
by Leavenworths own D. NJ. Thomas.
He has 200 acres of fine land east of
town on the east side of the Wenat-
chez river. The place now contains
$500 growing trees, some of which
will come into bearing next year.
Mr.. Thomas is preparing to plant
next spring 5000 more trees, which
will give him probably the largest
orchard owned by any one man in the
state. There will be about $4,000
trees. The past year he picked more
than 800 boxes of apples and expects
to receive three times as much the
coming year; and, of course. every
year thereafter will show increased
yield. In five years Mr.. Thomas will
have an income which will enable
him to retire from bushes life. A
few months ago Mr.. Thomas refused

HETTY GREEN STILL
HEADS LIST

New York. Nov. 2O.-Mrs. Hetty
Green. mistress of nearly one hun
dred millions, will tomorrow enter
upon her seventy-fifth year and at
the same time will begin her forty
fifth year as a business woman, dur
ing which time she has accumulated
a fortune that is estimated to be the
largest controlled by any woman in
the world.
When E. H. Hartman died last
fall, leaving all of his property to
Mrs. Hartman, report was circu-
lated to the effect that the widow
had thereby become the richest wo-
man in the world Mr. Harriman's
wealth in real and personal property
was estimated to amount to between
SIS. 100000 and 100000, 900. But
there is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Harriman's five children, togeth-
er with his surviving sister and other
relatives, had all been substantially
provided for in gifts out Of hand and
trust funds set aside shortly before
the death of the financier. Mrs.
Harriman's share, therefore, is be-
lieved not to have exceeded $4,000.
900 or $60.000,0OO, so that in any
event it is erroneous to credit her
with possessing a fortune in excess
of that of Hetty Green, which is es-
timated to be close to the 100000
900 mark and may possibly exceed
that figure.
1t is interesting to note that
America not only possesses the rich
est but probably the three richest
women in the world. Next to Hetty
Green comes Mrs. Russell Sage, with
fortune Of $S5 100000, and third
in line is Mrs. Hartman. Mrs.
Frederick Cortland Penfield is cred
tied with a fortune of 100000, 900.
. The four women named inherited
practically the entire estates of
their husbands. Many other Ameri-
can women have survived their mil
lionaire husbands. but in few cases
have the widows received the entire
estates. Thus, Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Sr., left an estate of $125,O0O, 900,
but the widows portion was only
100000 and trust fund yielding
$250,000 year Mrs Marshall
Field, whose husbands estate
amounted to 2OO,OOO,OOO, received
100000 as a wedding present in
lieu of dover interest. Mrs. o. H. P.
Belmont received the whole of her
husbands estate of 100000. Mrs.
Morris X. Jesup received little over
one-half of the 100000 left by
her husband.
Outside of the United States the
richest woman is believed to be
Frau Bertha Won Bohlen, who came
into possession of the $S0,00O,O00
left by her father the celebrated
gun manufacturer. The Marchion-
ess of Graham, by the death of her
father, the Duke of Hamilton, came
into possession of an income of
nearly 100000 a year The Ouch
ess of Roxburghe, who was Miss May
Goelet, is credited with possessing
fortune of s25, 100000. Mrs. S.
G. Asher, daughter of the late Henry
Bernato, is estimated to be worth
100000. The Countess Szech-
enyi. who was Miss Gladys Wander
bilt, is placed on the list with $12,-
100000. Nine. Creel of Mexico is
said to have an income Of $1,000
600 a year. The Baroness Won
Eckardstein, daughter of Sir Blum
del Maple, has recently come into
the second portion of her fathers
fortune, making her yearly income
something like $750,OO0.
