Markets

It is a. important to properly mar
ket a. il is TO properly raise farm pro
ducts We are producing country and
therefore interested in markets and
market facilities for our products. The
worlds average is two acres of cult
waited land per capita while i'll Texas
We have seven acres of cultivated land
per capita leaving surplus produc-
ton Of five acres OF cultivated land for
each individual which must be sold.
The worlds average in consumption
OF cotton is thirteen bales per 1000
population: in Texas we raise one
thousand bales of cotton per one
thousand population or one bale
per capita. We have a surplus
production OF 9s7 bales Of cotton
per one thousand population for
sale. Texas produces 20 per cent
OF the cotton OF the world and on a
per capita basis uses one fourth OF one
per cent. We not only produce large
surplus but, through lack of diversi-
fcation, concentrate our production
making a deficit in certain lines OF pro
duction. equally as abnormal as our
surplus production in other lines. We
are people Of producers and inter
ested in receiving high price for our
products. An increase of one cent per
pound in the market price OF cotton
on 1905 basis of production will place
in the hands OF the Texas producers OF
cotton 500, OOO,O 900 and take out of the
pockets Of the Texas consumers OF
cotton goods $25O,o00 leaving a trade
balance of Sl9,750,0D in our favor. says

Worlds Cotton Production"

Texas produces 100000 bales OF
cotton annually; the United States
except Texas produces 9,6oo,ono bales
and the world except the United States
100000 The United States produces
g. per cent of the cotton OF the world
but when we want to know what cot
ton is worth we wire llngland's fac
tories Tor prices Ii We doubled our
production without home factories
we would have even less to say
about fixing prices of cotton: but, on
the other hand, if we had d per cent
of the cotton factories of the world,
we could fix prices ourselves and take
our rightful place a. master of the
worlds commerce. English manufac-
turers located thousand miles from
the cotton field fix the prices. We have
but one alternative: we must manu-
facture cotton and other staple articles
in Texas or forever pay tribute to out
side manufacturers. and governments,
says the Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association.
When We buy cotton goods to the
amount OF one dollar, the farmer gets
~ cents, the transportation companies
7 cents. the English manufacturer 80
cents and the government 80 cents
while with the factory in Texas the en-
tire dollar would remain with us. The
following illustration brings out the
situation with clearness:

tive Shy his would-be victim, a Porto
Ricah burglar last night drew gun
on HIM, forced his release and escaped
withf$9.40 IN loot, with a policeman in
hot pursuit twenty feet behind him.
The man robbed was Chung Wal, a
Chinese storekeeper at the corner of
King and Punchbowl, opposite the Ka-
waiahao Church, the officer who nearly
but not quite captured him was Robert
Hebron, and the burglars identity is
yet to be discovered.
About nine clock call for help
came into the police station, being an
swered by Officer Hebron of the
bicycle patrol. Just as he approached
the store, which was partially closed
for the night, he heard a scuffle and
saw a Porto Rican dart out of the
house and down King street. He imme-
diately started in pursuit and chased
the man into the nearby stables. The
burglar managed to escape over the
fence in the dark and eluded his
pursuer who at once called for Chief
MeDuflie.
MeDutfie at once took up the case and
traced the mans footprints into the
Territory Stables where trace Of him
was lost. According to the storekeeper
he was just closing for the night when
the mar jumped into the store and
drawing a knife on him demanded his
money. \ seuftle ensued in which the
thief got the money and the Chinaman
got the knife For a moment he was
held prisoner but suddenly drew a gun
on his captor and made his escape just
in time.
Both the Chinaman and Hebron got
good views of the man. who was of

HAWAIIAN LAND
TITLES NO GOOD
Condemnation Proceedings Are
Required by United States
Government.

Hawaiian land titles are no good,
so far as Uncle Sam is concerned. and
hereafter, according to instructions re.
ceived from Washington. no land in this
Territory will be accepted by the Uni.
ted States government without condem-
nation proceedings which will effectual-
ly clear the title.
A statement to the above effect was
made yesterday by United States Dis.
trict Attorney Breckons, who says that
in handling lighthouse sites he has for
some time made it rule not to accept
title to any land which has not been
condemned
Mr.. Breckon explains that descrip-

SEA EATING INTO
THE SEASIDE GROUNDS
Famous AIgarobas Will Go Unless
Quick Steps Are Taken to
Save Them.

Valuable frontage of the Seaside
Hotel is being gouged out by the sea.
and drastic measures may have to be
taken in the near future to save some
the Seaside one of the popular resorts
along Waikiki beach.
The waves less than year ago began
washing out the sand beach fronting
the Moana Hotel property and finally
ate into the beach so much that the
hau trees, set out to form sea front
arbor, had to be- removed bodily and
set back II the lawn to save them.
The beach dwindled away. and the
bathing was almost ruined. Several
causes were assigned for this wholesale
destruction of the famous beach. but
whatever they were the beach was be
ing gradually ruined. The Outrigger
Club and the Seaside Hotel trontages
suffered also.
Finally the Moana Hotel people be-
gan to bank up the remaining sand, but
the ravages Of the waves continued.
Then the Seaside Hotel bulkheaded its
frontage.
The Moana Hotel people finally de-
eided 10 set a cement wing wall be
tween its property and that Of the Out
rigger Club. 1t was built far out into
the water at an angle to the incoming
waves, and now does the duty expected
of it. The sand is coming back to the
Moana Hotel and the beach is begin
ming TO look as it did some time ago
The expense of holding and catching
the shifting sands is expensive to the
hotel, but being publicsp spirited. the
hackers of the hotel have gone ahead
with their Improvements and the public
again has a fine bathing place in front
of the Moana.
But over at the Seaside the wooden
bulkhead with its sandbag backing has
been torn out and the lawn is gradually
disappearing. The roots Of the great
algarobas are exposed and the trees are
in danger of topping unless the lawn
and sand are restored. It is likely that
4 cement retaining wall may have 10 be
built along the entire frontage of the
Seaside property to save it.
