sustained by the death of these hon
orded members and to pay our tribute
to their memory.

these islands, and for nearly thirty
years has been a faithful and devoted
member of the association and a pro-
minent and progressive member of the
community of these islands. Stand

would promote the best interests of
the people of these islands, they have
left a legacy Of inspiration for those
of us who remain and a memory which
we will all cherish.

each of the families of the deceased
members

T. Give Davies referred back to the
Letter of the chemists and moved that
a reply be sent, assuring the Chemists
Association of the good wishes of the
Planters Association, and bearing the
further assurance that the request
would be complied with.
On account of the absence of Chair
man E. H. Wodehouse, the reading OF
the report on experiment station was
carried over, and the report on sugar
manufacturing machinery was takeI
up.
Under the head of labor saving de
vices the report of John T. Moir, chair
man, was read, subjoined being a RAJ
at the Crozier cane loader, of whicl
so much was heard a short time age
as follows:
Cane Loader.-Mr. Chas. Crozier, o
the Honolulu Iron Works Co., mad,
cane loader, and used it for few
days on one of the Oahu Sugar Com
pany's fields. 1t consists of a light, in
cline frame work, which may be from
so to 100 feet long, carrying a ligh
track on which runs a truck, so made
that when loaded with cane it can bt
hauled by a wire rope running to {
hand winch, up an inclined tracq t
the edge of the cane car. AS soon al
the truck reaches the cane car the LOAF
is dumped automatically, and the ca
on being released, runs down the in
cline into the field, where it is agail
loaded. When men become accuston
ed to its use it can, no doubt, be mad
to load cane more rapidly and NOR
cheaply than it did on the experimer
tai run. Like some other machine
for the same purpose, it may be tina
in practical use it will save labor bu
not money.
Having nothing more to add in thi
connection, remain,
Yours truly,
w. w. GOODALE,
Manager Waialua Agr'l. Co., Lite
During the discussion of labor dc
vices L. A. Thurston urged the es
tablishment of a bureau for the sys
tematic investigation of any and a
schemes or plans that might come u
and for the development of such a
might be deemed proper or advisable
After considerable discussion and e.
PLANTATION the convention seemed t
grasp this idea favorably, and it wa
adopted by unanimous vote.
