Two sets Of Fowler's steam tackle and
ordinary mule plows are in use, but owing
to the stony nature of the soil, pick and

Nearly all of the Kaanapali land toward the

Great Irrigation Syetem.
The large Honokahau irrigation ditch
which cost $lS5,O00, has capacity of 25,-
100000 gallons of water In twenty-four
hours and conveys the water from Honoka-
hau distance of fifteen miles.
The water Is leased from II. p. Baldwin,
the ditch supplying the plantation with 49,
100000 gallons daily. In addition to this
supply, they have the mountain streams,
and three pumping stations, to furnish the
balance of the water needed, One of the
pumps Is driven by water power and two
by steam. Five thousand five hundred acres
of cane are supplied with mountain water,
the remainder being irrigated with water
from the pumping stations. During the win
ter season 1t Is unnecessary to operate the
pumps, mountain water supplying all the
necessary irrigation.
From 800 to 1000 pounds of high grade
fertilizer and 400 pounds of nitrate of soda
is used to the acre.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 2S.-Liquor
drinkers in Washington will be forced
to carry licenses, embellished with their
photographs and other data Of iden-
tification and any one will be permitted

to buy drinks only from dispensers In
the county where the permit Is issued.
With the view to encouraging tenn
perance it is provided also that the
penalty upon conviction for intoxlca-
ton shall be forfeiture Of the license
for period ranging from thirty 70
sixty days, at the discretion OF the trlai

SEE PERIL IN NEW RATES.
Rail Officials Declare Mississippi and
Missouri River Towns Are Menaced.

Missouri River Towns Are Menaced.
Chicago, Jan. 2S-Before a special
master in chancery yesterday railroad
traffic officials told of dire results,
which, in their opinion, would happen,
should the decision of the interstate
commerce commission in the Missouri
river rate case be upheld. In the opin-
ion of some it would mean an almost
complete destruction of the cities on
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers as
great jobbing centers should the thru
rate making theory of the commission
be carried out to it's logical conclu-
sion.
1t was suspicion of this possible
calamity which caused the federal
court to issue an injunction restra in
ing the enforcement of rates ordered
by the commission until the subject
could be inquired into. The decision of
the commission was revolutionary in
character, it was held, because it es-
tab1ished the principle that all thru
rates should be less than the sums of
any two local rates. Applying this to
the Missouri river the commission re-
duced the rates between Chicago and
the Mississippi river on shipments Or
iginating east of Pittsburg, requiring
the, railroads to charge more on goods
originating west of there and destined
to the same points.
j. M. Johnson, vice president of the
Missouri Pacific road, was the prin-
cipal witness. He explained how the
present rate fabric grew and told the
master that it was geographically cor
rect to have the freight rates break
on the Mississippi river. BY the term
"break," he explained, he meant that
the thru rates were made up of the
rate from the seaboard to the Missis-
sippi river plus the rate from there to
the Missouri river plus the rate from
the Missouri river beyond. 1t was
upon this basis that the jobbing CEN
ters along the river had been fostered.
Without the saving factor of the
rates "breaking' on the Mississippi
river, Mr. johnson claimed, the sea-
board cities would have a tremendous
advantage over other territory. in fact,
the decision of the commission had
already placed Chicago at a disadvan-
tage in the markets west of the Mis-
souri, river, he said.

ened by the expositions held in Chi
