time the average yield OF marketable
sugar is fully l. pounds per 100 pounds
OF cane and the average yield OF cane
rer acre in about 40 toms. These fig
ures are apt to be misleading unless II
is understood that the Hawaiian crop
requires from Is to~22 months to ma
ture, 50 that less than one-half Of the
land under cultivation can be har-
vested each year.
Sugar cane is cultivated in Hawaii
under conditions quite d:sslmiiar from
those that prevail in other sugar-grow-
ing regions of the world. Each of the
islands Is divided into two distinct
climatic zones separated by the noun
tains. which occupy the center OF every
member of the group. On the eastern
cr ''windward" side. the effect of the
trade winds Is felt and the rainfall Is
copious. The "leeward'' side is arid
but the NOR. fertile. Tho western
lands yield tho largest crops. but they
can only be secured by Irrigation
PERHAPS the net profits are about equal
from the cultivation of cane on the
rainy side and the arid. The planters,
At'NtNtA. appear AZ -iNt AAAt
Ia the latter, and the principal sugar
companies are To be found in the ir-
rigatel districts. The total area un-
der cane is 213oan acres. Of which
one-half is irrigated.
The process of irrigation in Hawaii
Is. necessarily. exceptionally expensive.
The islands are entirely Of volcanic

MODERN ROYALTY.
HopeIessly Handicapped by the Prog
ress of Mankind.


ress Of Mankind.
What is a modern king for If not to
set q pattern of the brave, courteous,
urbane gentleman and make comely
fgurehead for state occasions? II he
fails there Of what earthly use is he?
He cannot govern. He dare not at
tempt to rule. He is so outclassed in
professional training by his own gen.
erals that he would never be tolerated
as an active commander in chief In
time of war. He is hopelessly below
the requirements Of the age II he
dreams of leadership in art or learn
ing, literature or science. If he cannot
make brave showing Of the virtues
and graces of more primitive times
when he gets chance he fails utterly.
The truth is that modern royalty Is
handicapped hopelessly by the progress
Of mankind. The age Is far too COM
plex to enable king to play the part
he is cast for in the great drama OF
the worlds work and struggles. He
would be more than human If he could
live up to the demands of his birth
and the traditions Of his vocation.
Kings were formerly tragedies when
they were evil and great benefactors
when they were both good and wise.
Now they are perilously near the bor-
der line of comedy, which slides easily
down into arce.-Cleveland Leader.

Sneezins.

Sneezing has an extensive folklore
In many countries. Sometimes the act
is considered ominous of good and
sometimes Of evil. Among the Jews
1t has always been regarded at an ap-
propriate moment, such as the conclu-
sion of a bargain, as propitious, and a
belief still fingers In many parts Of
the country that the regular habit Of
sneezing particularly after meals, is
conducive to longevity and precau-
tion against fevers. The old English
custom of saying "God bless your

evil consequences, has its counterpart
in many far distant parts Of the globe.

PH|NY GETS COLD STORAGE HIT
ShamrOcks Paste Ft. Walla Walla In
Speedy Game.

Those who travelled out to the bail
game Sunday, saw the best game Of
the season. The boys in gray from
Fort Walla Walla showed much class,
but were not speedy enough on the
skirmish line to flank La Brasche's
Shamrocks. And, by the way Athena s
nervy little pitcher won his own game.
by getting the only two hits acquired
off Monroe, the soldiers clever pitcher.
One was home run smash which
pushed Mcfarland in ahead of La
Brasche. The other hit came in the
ninth and was responsible for another
run.
There was nothing doing until the
third. when the soldiers CLEANED a
tally on a bunch of errors and follow
ed the lead with another in the fourth
and ninth cantos. Phinny came out
of cold storage and got his first bit in
two years.
Athena sailed along runless until
the sixth. when Lieuallen and Niles
scored, on miscues by Uncle Samuel's
boys and the tie was not united until
the seventh when LaBrasche relieved
the monotony with his homer. Ath-
ena scored two in the 8th, Strauss and
Boewer registering.
The game was pitchers battle royal
from start to finish. Only one hit
was given by Labrasohe and two by
Monroe. La Brasohe struck out II

The Water Clock.

The earliest application Of the clep-
sydra principle to produce motion was
by Tsiang Hung, A. D. 126, who made
an "orrery" representing the apparent
motion Of the heavenly bodies around
the earth, which was kept going by
dropping water. In the sixth century
Of the Christian era an instrument was
In use in China which indicated the
course Of time by the weight of water
as it gradually came from the beak Of
a bird and was received in a vessel
on a balance, every pound representing
a one-hundredth part Of the day Of
twenty-four hours. About this time
mercury began to be employed in
clepsydras instead of water.

All sorts of theories relative to road
improvement are being advanced.
Here is specimen of the very latest
dope on the subject given by good
roads fiend of one of the middle states:
Mature never intended roads to be
rounded up, she intended them to be
soooped out" he said "The whole
tendency of travel is to hollow the
I road bed and throw the dirt up at the
side. The wheel do that, the horses
hoofs do that. Why then. should we
persist in fighting against the ten.
denoy of things and make road round
ing and rely on drainage at the side?
have decided to work with nature
and make my roads hollow with the
drainage at the middle, and on one
farm where have had such roads for
awhile have had excellent reaults.
put my drain tile in The middle of
the roads, I'll the ditch with gravel
to get ready seepage and then let the
natural tendency to have everything
run to the middle alone Ny roads are
always dry, and always ready for
travel and need no grading. AS long
as we continue to grade our roads
high in the middle aud drain off at
the sides we shall have rutty roads
full Of water, unless they are tended
to all the time. But if we will drain
in the middle and let nature do the
grading we shall have smooth aud dry
roads with but little effort"

Athena's new city park came in for
a generous share of praise from all
who attended the farmers picnic Sat
urday. Espec tally did the Pendleton
people enjoy the surroundings and had
the day been warmer their apprecia-
tion would undoubtedly have been
correspondipgly greater. The fact
that picnics and celebrations have
heretofore been held on the hot. dusty
streets, makes the new park doubly
inviting to all seeking day of recrea-
ton and pleasure. The East Ore
gonian comments:
"Those who attended the farmers
picnic at Athena Saturday are loud in
praise of the enterprise shown by the
citizens of that little city. The pic
MIC was held in the newly acquired
park, one of the finest little groves in
eastern Oregon. 1t was this grove
more than anything else that made the
picnic pleasant one. The acquire
ment of the grove by the town came
about as a result of the purchase of
the Ogle tract adjoining Athena.
This tract has lain almost unused for
years and in order to convert it into
small homes group Of progressive
business men formed a company and
bought che tract. They sold the grove
to the city for park purposes and will
soon have families living upon the
remainder of the land. The enterprise
shown by the Athena people in this
matter is certainly commendatle.
Incidentally, the example hey have
set might be followed with profit by
those living In other owns within the
county"
