RAYMOND RANCH
To INCORPORATE
SMALL FARMERS DISTRICT AGRICU1
TURAL LANDs-RANCH COMPANY SPEND LARGE SUMS IN
IMPROVEMENTS FIFTEEN HUNDRED ACRES OF FINE LAND
FOR PORTUGUESE WITH WATER FOR NEW SYSTEM

With the passing of the appropria-
tion for the Kula pipe line which will
give supply of water for the entire
Kula section, new life has been inject
ed into that part of Maui and big set
tlement of small farmers are already
starting arrangements to buy land or
lease it under advantageous terms.
The Raymond Ranch will probably be
incorporated within a short time 10
handle this matter and to make pro-
vision for other improvements which
are to come up with the bringing OF
water to the section which has former
ly been without a supply for even do
mestic purposes in time of drought.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing DR.. j. II. Raymond, of Maui, who
is taking the matter up with the Henry
Waterhouse Trust Company with a
view towards the incorporation of the
company, said:
You can see what the Kula pipe
line means to that section of Maui
when | say that just before / came
down one of the leading Portuguese OF
the neighborhood came to me to find
out what provisions could be made for
the buying or leasing of land by small
farmers. He said that fifty families

tie during the drought and when the
green feed first came up, they were
mainly the poorer, inbred stock and a
drive which we had recently was pro
ductive of a very fine showing. Wheg
the Kula pipe line is built we will eX'

rections. We will have five or ter

come under the most sanguine predic-
tions for the increase of small farm
ing.
"l'he Raymond Ranch will be ncor-
porated by itself, not with the Corn
well property, for that scheme has
fallen through altogether. . We will
spend large sums of money in improve
ments and extensions of pipe lines
which should all be revenue producing
plans.
Yesterday / had talk with Super
intendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell, who assured me that the
work on the Kula water system would
be rushed through as quickly as pos
sible. The money of course, is not
available till July l, contracts must be
let for the pipe, which will have TO
come from the mainland and there will
be a great deal of work to be done.
This will be huT ried along as quickly
as possible.
'Of course the ranch will benefit by
this but the small farmer will be the
great gamer. While we have been
able to keep along in times of drought
the little man who WIS forced to move
away and who lost everything was the
ore who suffered most He lost every
thing lre had and after the drought was
over it meant coming back to try, in
four or five years, to get back to where
he was before. With water supply

From the present outlook bread will
soon be classed as among the luxu-
ries of life and only to be eaten by
the rich. Flour has advanced in price
in the last twelve months till it now
costs $6.25 per barrel at wholesale and
there seems to be very good reason
to warrant the prediction that it will
go as high as $500 per barrel. That
it will advance over it's present tig-
ure is certain, for the next shipment,
landed in Honolulu, will cost the To-
cal wholesalers 1928, which means
that they must charge at least $3.50
to their customers.
In the meantime the bread situation
remains a peculiar one. w. H. Zim-
norman, of the German Bakery on
Fort street near Hotel, in speaking
of the probability of either a raise in
the price of bread or a cutting down
of the size of the loaf, said:
81 am losing money on my bread
right now and only through the sale
of other things can l keep even. No,
1 shall not raise the price of bread
for having just started new store il
would hurt my trade. What the other
bakers will do l do not know, but il
is hard to pay such high prices fol
flour and still be compelled to leave
the price of it's products the same"

President B. f. Dillingham;, of the
Oahu Railway & Land Co., on Saturday
afternoon favored party of tourists
and townsmen with a flying excursion
to Schofield cavalry barracks. Leiehua,
and intermediate points. 1t was taken
in a special train consisting of an en-
gine and the presidents parlor and OBJ
servation car, leaving town at :05 and
returning at 5;35 The party consist

Walter G. Sachs and wife, Mr.. VIM. ID.
Newhouse, Mr.. Walter Everson, of the
Fidelity Guaranty CT, Mr.. Robert
Levers, Mr. Dillingham; and Supervisor

Going out stops were made only at
two sidings to let trains pass and at
Waipahu and Wahiawa for the neces-
sary shunting. On returning the spe-
Cial had a clear run from Waipahu into
town, making the trip from Oahu SUI
gar mill in about half an hour. 1t
was raining at Leilehua and 1he party
stayed in the car, seeing little of the
camp, excepting the cavalry horses and
stables. The same condition at Wa
hiawa prevented a look into the can
neries. Despite these drawbacks the
visitors were both surprised and de-
lighted with the scenery of the gulch,

"The contract will be advertised in

ut will be paid for out of the July
receipts of water rates.
No, the work will not include all

that is where there is the greatest

Mr.. Lucas, manager of May and
company, said;
Flour is now selling here for S6.25
at wholesale while a year ago 1t was
$4.25. The next shipment to reach
here will cost nearly $625 landed here,
which will mean that the price must
go up. From what l can learn from
different sources flour will go as high
as $500 per barrel. Wheat is selling
for S1.35 in Washington now and
when it is as high as that flour must
go up to $500 in order to make it pay
better than selling the wheat direct.
"The high price of wheat has been
caused by the shortage of the crop
in South America, Australia and all
over the United States The price OF
corn, oats and barley has gone up so
much that the farmers have planted
large areas in these grains which have
been used formerly for wheat, thus
cutting down the size of the crop.
There Goes noA seem to be any chance
that the next\ year will bring any
great reduction in the price of wheat
We may expect to see the present
high price of flour keep up for some
time. I certainly do not expect tC
see 1t go lower and those who want
flour at it's present price should pur
chase at once.

Women Doctors for the Chinese.


 During our stay Dr. Kin took us over the institution, saying that the orphan asylum had been moved to buildings on the opposite side of the river, and that these buildings were to be devoted from now on to her school There are enough of them to accommodate hundreds of pupils, although, so far, only 25 have been admitted. Said Dr. Yamei Kin:
 'Women doctors are greatly needed in China Our customs are such that it Is not proper to call in men to attend wom- en, and In most of our cities there are neither female doctors nor trained nurses. The few Chinese women who have re- ceived medical education abroad have all and more than they can do Those trained in the mission schools are largely em- ployed in the mission hospitals, and 1t is almost impossible for us to get Chinese women teachers for this institution. As it is now, we do not claim to be college We are, rather, medical academy, and we give such an education as Is common in England and America for district visit

 A well-dregsed woman came into the cer at Nineteenth street. When the con- dI,ctor called for her fare she gave him a fve-dollar bill. He put the usual ques- tion about smaller change, and she gave hin, the usual negative reply.

 Suddenly the sun goes out and the moon is lit .. The hero enters He wears blue fan nel shirt, overalls, cowhide boots, and an expression of conscious manly beauty. He would probably tip the scales at even 300 pounds, and the veins in his face re- semble the Amazon river in physical geography, such are his efforts to make his embonpoint look like his chest.
 He sighs wearily.

 Nobody laughs.

 The hero walks across to the heroine. Lowering his embonpoint about eight inches, he seats himself tentatively upon the stone wall. It sinks in the middle After testing 1t carefully two or three times and finding that it. will bear his weight, he edges over beside the heroine and drapes his strong right arm around the equator of her Mother Hubbard. She rests her head on his shoulder and gazes LID into his Adonis-li1ke features with an expression that might be attributed with perfect Justice either to transcendent trust or to chronic indigestion.

 But to himself, to Denver, to his friends and-most of alto his enemies, his fla nous juvenile court is only an accident, a side issue, a small detail In the mans amazing career. For years he has been engaged in fight of which the founding of his juvenile court was only the merest skirmish.
 It is @ fight that has carried him into politics to find both political parties against him. It has been carried on without the consistent support or any newspaper, and with now one, now the other. and at times all the party organs in Denver cartooning and attacking him. The thieves, the gamblers, the saloon- keepers and the prostitutes have been cheered on against him. There have been times when even the churches have been afraid to aid him. Men of wealth-the heads of street railway. the telephone company, the water company, and most of the other Denver COTpoTaliohS ohi combinations of flnance-have made 1t their particular ambition and personal aim to beat him down and crush him out of public life He has fought alone-at times absolutely alone. And he is still fighting!

It was a concession to lib- erty and law wrung from despotism. It was not intended for exploitation to an- null regular legal process, or enable rich
