Mr.. Perestrous, special agent VINO

borers from Siberia to work in the
cane fields, is not meeting with the
success he had anticipated, That
Perelstrous is honest and is able to
enlist the immigrants is not doubted;
but the experience of the planters with
the Molokaus brought to Hawaii some
years ago is still fresh in mind, and,
moreover, the reputation of the Sibe-
rian Russian is not such as to COM
mend him to a community which is
irving to ensure substantial citizen
ship in its future laboring classes.
Manager Goodale has consented to try
ten families at Waialua, and, it is I'M
derstood that others have tentatively
: agreed to try small numbers if they
are brought here. But, all in all, the
movement has enlisted little sympathy
: or support; a principal reason being
that Portuguese, who are known to be
reliable and desirable, may be avail
: able in a short time. However, should
the Portuguese supply not be so large
; as is now reported, it may be found
! well i'm the future to take up the pro-
Z iposition of the Russian visitor in a
more substantial way.
GENERAL.
q The Hawaiian Electric Company IS
Il planning to double the capacity OF its
# light and power plants in the last OF
: the present and first part of the new
: wear. Manager Gartley reports a
q very large increase in business and a
IS bright outlook
: Engineer Kluegel who will have
n charge of the work of constructing the
s extension of the Hilo railroad, went to
the scene this week, taking fifty la
- borers with him Work has been
:, started and will be pressed with all
IA possible vigor. Mr.. Dillingham; states
that most OF the rights of way have
been acquired and that no difficulty is
! anticipated in respect to the remainder
# of them.
