 The late peaches are not considered a very valuable crop, anyway, and there is usually little or no market demand for them The money is in the Elbertas and other early varieties of the fruit

Stands for Development.

In commenting upon the present condition of the state and it's needs a few days ago, member of the legis. lature had this 10 say:
 Every member of this body is more than anxious to give his time and best efforts 10 further the material in tcrests of he state. We need foreign capital with which 10 build railroads mills and factories, and should enact laws that will protect and encourage these institutions The time has come when the people of this state realize that all this clamor about cor. porations and the railroads and wealth is q selfish and senseless effort to further political designs. and that it can mean no present or ultimate good To the state To be prosperous we must have the investment Of capital and in no way can this investment be made a greater benefit to our peo pie than in our railroads Waste places must be made to blossom: wild regions must be redeemed and made popul0us; Arkansas as a whole must be brought in quick connection with the markets where her produce will be sold, and all this means railroads prosperous railroads with money enough to construct new roads and to improve the old. to repair and buy new equipment and to give the state a raj road system which will be up to the highest standard of modern times quick and efficient seryice-not at ruinously low but al fair rates. the imposition Of no unjust burdens by way of expenses; no senseless require ments which are the offspring Of ia naticism and which cannot help peo- pie, bat can burden and check the development of the railroads.

STOCK MARKET
STILL IS QUIET
WaiaIua Shows Up Stronger.
but Other Shares Fall
Off.

Waialua showed up little stronger
again yesterday, and bids of ia failed
to secure any of the stock, though lib
secured some shares the day before.
Owners held out for lis yesterday, and
there was every indication that the
stock has reached the low mark at 113
and is again on the upward march.
Before the session, two blocks, total
ing eighty shares, sold at ia.
Oahu showed tendency 10 strength
en- a little. Between boards, 100 shares
went at 3l.75, but during the session
a few shares brought 3lS75. When the
session closed, 80 was being asked by
the owners.
Before the session, 125 sares of Olaa
sold at 1875. This is a slight falling
from the last sale price, which was
$50

but little trading in the shares, how
ever, and the closing price was 1928

WHARF SHED To
BE EXTENDED
AIakea Street Structure Will
Be Hundred and Sixty
Feet Longer.

! just as soon as there is money avail
able, the Superintendent of Public
Works will call for bids for the eX-
tension of the shed on Alakea street
wharf. The present shed will be ex-
tended sixty feet makai, and beyond
that a one-story structure, 100 feet
wide, extended out almost to the end
of the wharf This will, it is believed,
afford ample shed accommodations for
all requirements.
Since work on the new AIakea street
wharf was started, there has been con
siderable objection to the shed, the
complaint being that it is so short that
large ships such as the Manchuria and
Mongolia, can not unload economically.
The matter was taken up by the Cham
Der of Commerce and brought before
Campbell by that body.
In a letter to the chamber, Campbell
states that there will be a room, sulta-
bic for exhibition purposes either for
the Chamber of Commerce or the Pro
motion Committee, available, free OF
charge, TO either of those organizations,
Just as soon as the shed is completed.

whereby late ear will leave the Mo-
