Freight Rates on Puget Sound

advisable to withdraw rate to the

Sound.
This con ,ession on the part OF this
large company. when uEtil the ad.

Sound and the islands. was won at
ter strenuous objection and yelled
hints OF retaliation OIL the part OF

members of the Washington State
Millers' Association. who made EN-
phatic protest.
The obnoxious tariff became effec-

Hawaiian market, which has always
been a heavy buyer OF mill products.
San Francisco millers were reaping
the advantage of 81 per ton diner

Francisco are competitors on equal
footing. This advantage. obnoxious

San Francisco under a rate between

Mr.. Tenney On Ewa Tiells.


Gossip about wnite spots In the
Eva plantation fields has furnished
a topic for congregation In some OF
the stock broking circles OF the city
when there was nothing else to be
suggested rs portending depression
In the price or stocks or failure OF
the sugar industry.
Those having the most intimate
knowledge of Eva laughed at the
reports. but II Is quite possible that
some not wen informed were fright
ened into disposing OF their holdings
at sacrifice To get at the exact
state of affairs in connection with
these much discussed fields the u u J.

tive statement.
Yes, | have heard reports on the
street to the effect that the canes at
Eva Plantation were affected by
some disease" said Mr.. Tenney. Il
have also had numerous inquiries
from individual shareholders as to
the real facts In this connection, and
have considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
making statement for publication
in the daily newspapers in order
that the shareholders at large might
know the exact facts of the case.
"There are areas in certain fields
at Eva Plantation where the canes
are not making the usual thrifty
growth, but this is not In my opin-
ion. from any disease affecting the
cane. and, to confirm my opinion. |

The first fields planted at Eva

Fortunately, fields subsequently
planted did not develop this condi
dion. and the result was the success
Of the EVA Plantation.
Later. experiments were under
taken on comprehensive scale TO
correct this difficulty. The procedure
was very deep p.owing aud cnltlva-
ton. IN many Of these spots eXpln-
gives were used. The soil was blast.
ed TO depth of and 10 feet. The
results finally obtained demonstrated
effectually the theory that lack OF
drainage, caused the difficulty. aud
where the yields were three or four
tons to the acre. the same fields were
brought up to n yield of eight and
a half to nine and half tons Of
sugar to the acre.
The appearance Of these feds to-
day is identical with that which
they presented when first planted as
virgin soil In my opinion, this
shows that the land has again be-
come very dense, and the drainage Is
imperfect; also that IL will again be
necessary to use methods similar to
those adopted 10 years ago In order
to restore this particular land condi-
ton to produce It's maximum yields.
