HAKALAU RAILWAY
OPEN TO PAPAIKOU

The B F. Dillingham; Company this
morning received an official report
of the first week of traffic over the
Hakalau extension of the Hilo rail-
way, covering the period to October
IS.
At that time the road was open to
Papaikou, distance of only four
miles. The service was started with
two trains daily, but It was at once
plain that more were required and the
number was doubled The matter of
schedule is still in the experimental
stage, and other trains will be added
as they may be required
The trains now on the route carry
both freight and passengers, and the
results in respect to poth have been
very satisfactory The report states
that the passenger coaches have been
full both ways, while freight shipments
shipments have been large and are
increasing daily.
! In a'week more, says the report, On
omea will be reached, and at that
place an enormous addition to ship
ments is to be expected All of Ono
meas sugar, which will shortly be
coming. in, will be shipped over the
railroad to Hilo.
From Onomea about ten miles of adj
ditional track is being laid and will
shortly be in use.
The officers of Hilo Railroad Com
pany feel highly elated over the way
business has opened up. Prospects
have been decidedly improved by ac-
! tual experience and it is now conf
IDENTIFY expected that the branch road
will be even a greater success than
had been expected of it.

Mr.. COOK TALKS
OF kauai CROPS

j. P. Cooke returned in the Kinau
from Kauai, whittier he had gone to
have a look over Makaweli and the
plantation of the McBryde Sugar Com
pany.
"As to McBryde," said Mr.. Cooke
this afternoon, Il found both old and
new cane looking exceedingly well.
McBryde has had especially favorable
weather conditions during the summer
and early autumn, and last week there
were 50O,OOO,OO0 gallons of water in
the reservoirs there.
"Makawelis crop is also looking we'll,
although it will probably not average
so much per acre for the 1911 crop
as it did for the crop of 1910, this on
account of the shortage of water in
the bitches in September and early
October. This shortage will be par
TALLY Offset, however, by cane to be
taken from $50 additional acres newly
planted"
Asked for an estimate at this time
upon the yield of McBryde next year,
Mr.. Cooke replied: 1--WE now expect
to get $4,000 tons"
Makaweli's estimate is a little in
the air and will be for some time to
come. The extra acreage will offset

The total Of shares OF stocks sold
since the board on Saturday was quite
large, but when it Is considered that
the two largest transactions were prac-
tically swaps, the average for the per.
iod was normal only Taken straight
through, the market Is weaker than
before, and although inquiries con-
tinue in considerable volume there
does not seem TO be any overanxiety
to buy at prevailing figures. Informa-
ton which has leaked through from
San Francisco also indicate dull con-
ditions over there in respect to Ha-
waiian securities.
Indications are that the market will
not strengthen this week, save per-
haps, in spots; and the chances are
that the adjustment now i'm progress
will bring prices down to an even low
er level ere long

MOLIERE HAD FUN
WITH THE DOCTORS

Moliere was moved to mirthful indig-
nation by the empty pretensions of the
physicians. He might not know bet
ter than any other layman what ought
to be done but he was too sharp
sighted and keen-witted not to see that
these things ought not be done. Here
as elsewhere, he had an abiding faith
in the power of nature to take care of
itself and to work out its own saliva
ton This led him to abhor the end
less purging, bleeding and ~drugging
which every physician then resorted to-
1t led him also to anticipate the mod
ern practice of letting a disease run
it's course. In "L'Amour Medecin" the
humble tongued Lisette tells how the
household cat has recovered from a
fall into the street, after lying three
days without eating and without NOV
ing a paw; and then she adds that
there are no cat physicians, luckily
for the cat, or 1t would have died from
their purgings and bleedings. A SIM
liar attitude is taken by other char
acters in the later plays, in which
Moliere returned again to the attack.
Moliere had had thorough instruc-
tion in the official philosophy, as the
Jesuits impaired it to their students;
and he had been made familiar with a
more TlOQ6TH SCilOOl VI llOuSul Dy
Gassendi. He was by training fitted
to understand the philosophic founda-
ton on which were raised all the the
cries promulgated by the faculty of
medicine; and his objection to the
practices Of the French physicians of
his time seems to be due not more
to the absurdity of these practices
than to the absurdity of the philosophy
which justified them.
He did his own thinking in his own
fashion; and he was no blind wor-
shipper of authority. He was not over
awed by the revered name of Hippo
crates, outside of which there was no
health. Even the citing of Aristotle
was not to him conclusive If his own
eyes revealed to him an experience not
obviously in accord with the saying of
the great Greek. 1t is not without sig
nificance that he makes one of his
characters declare that "the ancients
are the ancients. and we are the men
of today."-From "Moliere and the
Doctors" by Brander Matthews in the
January Scribner.
