$. W. WiShtman of Pennington this
year had in six acres of potatoes from
which he harvested $4,000 pounds of
marketable potatoes. or these he has
10000 pounds that will not run less
than three to four pounds each. Po-
tatoes are selling now at one and a
fourth cents per pound and as they
sold at two and a half cents last
spring there is no doubt they viii
reach two cents before next spring.
At this latter price this win give a
return of S160 per acre and at the
present price a return OF 500 per
acre, This shows very clearly that
there is good money in potato culture

NO ROOM FOR
CONGRESSMEN
War Secretary Has No Boat
for Statesmen Coming
to Hawaii.

The Congressional party which is to
visit Hawaii this summer as the guests
of the Territory, made possible by an
appropriation by the Legislature of
$4,000, will probably come to Homo
lulu on one of the big commercial
liners instead of an army transport.
Delegate Kuhio and Secretary Nc
Clellan ascertained from the Secretary
of War recently that the heavy move
ment of troops to Manila which is now
under way will make it impossible for
the War Department to provide for the
party on any regular transport, and a
special transport for the particular use
of the party is out of the question,
owing to an adverse ruling which has
already been made on the application
of party of Congressman for special
troopship to Porto Rico. The Secretary
of War Informed the Delegate that he
had no authorization in law to furnish
special transport.
It is understood, however, that the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company has
made special round-trip rate of 800.
The present tentative plan is to have
the party sail from San Francisco on
July % on the Mongolia and to sail
from Honolulu for the Coast on August
q. If the special session extends into
summer, the dates may have to be re-
arranged.

LOCAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR FEDERAL BUILDING

The Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury has acquiesced in the re-
quest of Delegate Kalanianaole to
have suggestions presented to him as
to materials and general plan and
type of structure for the Federal
building in Honolulu.
Secretary Mcclellan has written
from Washington that he would be
glad to hear from the commercial
bodies as to any suggestions that they
have to offer on a building to come
within a cost limit of sS50.000.
The new Secretary of the Treasury
a few weeks ago assured Hawaii s
representatives at Washington that he
would arrange for competitive plans,
but later the supervising architect ap-
parentIy tried to persuade him to have
the building planned by the depart
ment. Whichever way the decision is
made. those in charge of Hawaiian af-
fairs at washington believe that the
date of an actual beginning will soon
be reached.

DESkY TALKS
Of CUBA uBRE
Agricultural Land Mighty Cheap
and All of 1t for
Sale.

Charles S. Desky, back from Cuba,
New York, Niagara Falls, Los Angeles
and lots of other places, where he went
as member of the Sam Parker party,
is home again. He is all for Honolulu
and Hawaii, as usual, but says he has
seen some fine country elsewhere, sur
prising as it may appear.
Everything is for sale in Cuba, :"
he says, everything in the way of
agricultural property. Why, we were
offered 100000 acres of as good land as
the sun shines upon for one dollar an
acre; and Sir VIM. Van Horne, the rail
way king, was willing to put free trans
portation, land-guide and what not at
our disposal if we wanted to look
around for bargains. We could have
our pick. It struck me that if the Ha-
walian planters and the beet growers
would buy up Cuba at dollar an acre
they could keep the big island out of
the sugar market and rent it for some
thing else.
Everybody bought sugar lands in
Cuba when the country was opened up,
but they knew nothing about making
sugar proftably, and simply held the
land for rise. They are ready now
to let go. Sugar-growing methods there
are most primitive. The planters
neither cultivate nor irrigate the soil
nor strip the cane, and depend mostly
on rattoons The mills are old-style
and few and far between. I think Van
Horne would make it worth while to
some one to put up modern mill near
his road.
Tobacco is an easy crop. A man
can get five acres of tobacco land for
practically nothing and make a living
on it. Think of that, you fellows who
are asking form 300 to $50 an acre
for tobacco land here. High prices for
land are the things that keep Hawaii
out of its natural population of small
farmers.
Our party was in the village where
the revolution started, but we didn Z
know 1t until next day, when COM
pany of soldiers arrived These troops
were sent after the insurrectos with or
ders to kill them and bury them in the
bush, but for some reason they brought
the poor devils back.
Havana is a fine city of 100000.
was surprised to see that the people
there keep away from both the beaches
and the hills and live on the fats. High
surf on the beach and the near prox-
unity of man-eating sharks urge people
back from the ocean, but 1 don t know
why they avoid the high ground The
Cubans are about the flthiest lot I ever
saw. Faughl
