QUIET AT SOUTH OMAHA
Militia Held in Readiness as a Pre-.
caution.

in the anti-Greek agitation in South
Omaha. Although a portion of the
local militia was held in readiness all
night the precaution was apparently
unnecessary. The Greeks themselves
had left the city before nightfall and
were quartered in nearby towns.
Only small portion of the Greeks
have families in this country. Their
expulsion from South Omaha will not
work much of a hardship. There are
a few, however, who are in business
and own property. These will, they
say, look to the city to make good
their losses, not only in property but
in the suspension of business.

tons. There were few cane tassels this
year, and the unripeness of the cane
early in the season is no doubt due to
that fact. The continued dry weather
is improving the quality of the juice"
1t is shown that the crop of 1909 on
December 81, 1908, had cost SIS. OF less
per acre than the crop of 1908 on De-
cember 81, 1907. A large part of the
cane ground had been taken off the
lower levels around the mill, account
The yield of cane, however, was four
tons per acre in excess of the previous
years yield from these fields.
The crop of 1910 will come from 81
229 acres, as against 4,S3S for the last
period. The yield estimate is placed
at 81. 500 tons.
During the past year $74,633 81 were
spent in permanent improvements.
During the year S,94S,947, 420 gallons
of water were delivered to the planta
ton by the Wahiawa Water Company.
The dam has not been filled to over
flowing during the year and there was
no waste through the spillway. The
average amount of water delivered was
24,572,329 gallons per day and on De-
cember 81 there were 470,00000 gal
Ions of water on hand. Of pineapple

plantation and have a large area of
similar lands suitable for any crops
that do not require irrigation. With
the expected increase of population
these lands may become valuable for
settlement"
OF expenses for 1909 Manager Good
ale makes this highly gratifying state
ment:
There will be no large expenditures
for permanent improvements during
the year 1909. Nothing is being done
now in the way of water development
or building reservoirs and no plans
have been made for any work of that
kind this year. There are no new
camps to be built on the new lands
cleared last year. For the first time
since the plantation was started in
November 1898, there will be none OF
the new work that has been unavoid-
able in connection with the develop
ment of the new lands, such as the
building of roads, railroads, fumes
and sypnons across deep ravines, clear
ing fields of stone and lantana and
building new camps for laborers."
Finally, it is shown by the manager
that the total net profit for the year
was $554.S67. ~.
Charles H. Atherton, treasurer of
the company, shows in his report divi-
dends during the year at per cent,
$270,0O0; balance carried forward to
1909, $7SS,57S 25. a total Of 81 ,O5S, 57S.25.

LITTLE DANGER
TO WINDOWS
OF MORTARS AT DIA-
MOND HEAD NOT EXPECTED no
ANNOY KAIMUKI RESIDENTS.

The trip made yesterday afternoon
by the members of the Senate to the
mortar battery at Diamond Head was
a most interesting one to all present.
The Senators went out in automobiles
and were welcomed by Major Win
slow and Assistant Engineer Burbank
who showed them through the bat
terry, explaining its details in a most
courteous manner.
One of the questions asked Major
Winslow was answered In most
pleasing manner This related to the
breaking of windows by the guns
when fired. The Major said:
Il was present at one time when
battery of four mortars similar TO
these was discharged while a conser-
vatory was standing but one nun
dred and fifty feet away, When the
shock was over there were but three
panes of glass broken in the building
do not think that any of the win
dows at KaimulNi will suffer, though
that is something for which we must
wait and see.
In May an ordnance officer will
arrive here to test the guns. After
that they will probably be tired in
practice about four times a year. The
rest of the time will be taken up in
practice without firing for the men
who handle the guns must be so used
to their work that they will do it
without thinking, just as a man walks
without thinking or how he moves his
legs. The men who handle the guns
must act as machines, each of which
is trained for certain duty"
throughout the West, will have a
place, with all of their down to date
improvements.
