SAVING MAKlKI VALLEY.

Editor Evening Bull etin:-I no
tice that in your last Saturdays ISSUE
you referred to me as being one of thu
many Makiki residents who favor thu
idea of establishing a public botanical
garden in Makiki Valley. l plead
guilty to the accusation.
The suggestion which has recently
been put forward that that valley
should be reserved for park purposes
and botanical gardens appeals to me
so strongly that am rather surprised
that the residents of Makiki district
have not ere this gotten together to
urge the adoption of the plan.
With the Legislature about to con-
vene there is no good reason why
Marston Campbel's dictum shat
there are other sites available for hOr-
ticultural gardens" should be accept
ed as final.
Ainahau, or more properly speak
ing, Kaiulani Park, must by the eX-
press terms of the late Mr.. Cleghorn' S
will, be maintained as a tropical
park Otherwise the government
cannot hold it. But aside from that
neither Kapiolani Park, Kaiulani
Park, nor any other land which the
government controls in the vicinity
of Honolulu has the natural topo-
graphical advantages that Makiki Val
ley possesses.
Mr.. CampbelPs plan to sell off the
lower part of the valley and the adj
joining hillsides is, in my opinion, a
very short-sighted one.
With the exception of limited
area near Mr.. Shingles residence the
town lots" which have been laid out
by survey are not desirable for resi-
dence purposes. They are inferior to
Alewa and Pacific Heights lots and
are altogether outclassed by prop
critics now on the market in Manoa,
Palolo and Kaimuki In order to dis
pose of those lots they will have to
be marked down" 1t is unlikely,
therefore, that any appreciate
amount of revenue will accrue from
their sale.
The true spirit of conservation re-
quires that the public lands be de-
voted to the purpose for which they
are respectively best adapted by ma
ture though it may not for the pres
ent bring into the public treasury as
many dollars as some other purpose
would. Makiki Valley is a natural
born" park site, and without great
expense might, in the course of a few
years, be made beautiful place.
In my humble judgment it would
be as egregious a mistake for the
government to throw away the oppor-
tunity of beautifying Makiki Valley
for the sake of a paltry few dollars
as it was to dispose of the fee of the
Kapiolani Park beach frontage in ex-
change for some pest ridden kuleanas
in Chinatown.

1t is fast becoming apparent that
the forces of popular government
must be constantly on the alert
against the tricks and the schemes
of the centralizers who are always
busy discrediting the citizens of the
Territory and doing their utmost to
destroy government by the people
and force government of the people
by select few.

NEW YORK, June "a, 1911.
Activity in the leaf market continues
limited to odd parcels of old stock.
Binder and filler stocks are thus being
gradually cleaned out to make room for
the new crops, the prices of which, it
can not be too emphatically restated
and restated, are likely to command a
considerable advance. In fact, as con-
ditions are today the reopening of the
buying season in the market is likely to
find complete absence of bargains in
any type and it looks as if the prices
for domestic filters and binders will
reach the boom figures of 1906-07.
The new Sumatra is selling, though
not in overwhelming quantities. While
it is generally recognized that the leaf
itself is one of the best and most per-
feet types ever offered in this market,
the price seems in many cases to act
as restriction for large investments.
AS long as some of the old stock is on
hand, it seems with many to have the
right of way, not by choice or prefer
ence, but simply because of its being
cheaper. In the Havana line steady
trading seems to prevail even if large
transactions are absent. Of course, it
is too early for this market to trade
largely in the new crop. But when this
new crop becomes marketable here,
some lively business may be expected.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 21, 1911.
The past week witnessed the trans
fer of the last plants for the 1911 crop
from the seed beds to the field, and it
starts out under auspices that could not
possibly be more auspicious, despite the
fact. that it is two weeks late. The very
heavy rains of the earlier part of last
week occasioned considerable uneasi-
ness, but the fear proved to be un-
founded Under ordinarily favorable
growing conditions, the crop will be
harvested long before any danger is
possible from frost. 1t is safe to as
sumo that as the growers managed to
find enough help in their work last sea-
son, when it was none too plentiful,
they will be able to get through this
season, having about the same acreage.
The cigar industry in this section has
taken such distinct turn for the bet
ter that its influence is clearly felt in
the leaf trade. In the past week quite
a number of idle factories were reop-
ened, and others, which were doing only
a hands mouth business, are now in
creasing their force of hands and hours,
of work.

EDGERToN, Wis, June 80, 1911.
A few belated growers have been
finishing their transplanting of the new
crop during the week and the work is
practically completed within the month
of June. The early set fields are MAX
ing remarkably fine progress, with al
most a perfect stand of plants and the
ground clean and free of weeds. The
crop never presented more promising
prospect at this time in all the grow
ing sections of the state.
The market for old leaf continues
along former lines, limited to small
business. A few lots have been lifted
from first hands since last report.
Peter Bergum sold 52cs '07 to A. S.
Flagg. We are informed that the
Rosenwald firm has closed on two Deer
field packings, that of S. E. Simonson,
400cs of 10 and H. P. Hoyum, 137cs
and 59cs of '09 goods. John Soulman
reports the sale of 100cs of '06. The
holdings of local packers is becoming
quite limited in binder stock of recent
years growth.
Frequent examinations show that last
seasons packings are coming through
the sweat in practically sound condition
and little or no damage is feared.
The shipments out of storage reach
3O0cs from this market to all points
for the week.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 20, 1911

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June ~, 1911.
From two thirds to three-quarters of
the 1911 Connecticut valley tobacco
crop has been set out. Plants which
have been in the fields since the first
of the month have secured fine start.
The season is late and transplanting
will not be finished before July /.
The shaded tobacco contingent have
displayed rather more energy than
other growers, and in most instances
the tent-grown crop is in the fields and
well under way. The more rapid the
growth the finer the leaf, is the theory
which the most successful growers of
shaded tobacco proceed upon, and the
shaded tobacco corporations plan to be-
gin printing next month. or, in other
words, will harvest their crops two or
three weeks after the belated planter
finishes transplanting.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

It is. SO rare that the transplanting
of tobacco crop is completed in this
state in the month of June that it is
worthy of mention as a matter of rec
ord. Oftentimes it is the month of
July that sees most of the crop placed
in the fields and even then it is seldom
that frosts overtake much of the to-
bacco at the other end of the season.
There is scarcely any crop produced
from the soil that natures SO quickly
under favorable weather conditions or
stands up better under adverse circum
stances. From 70 to 80 days from
planting to harvest with normal wealth
er conditions is generally sufficient for
the crop to occupy the soil. Having
full two weeks start at the beginning
Of the season, there is every reason to
believe the grower must look forward
to an early harvest and plan his other
farm work in accordance. One thing
ought to be said in favor of the present
outlook, which is, that the tobacco
fields will have ample time to fully ma
ture and there will be little excuse for
harvesting green tobacco this season,
and much safer crop to handle.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-06-30

Despite the fact that trade in manu-
factured tobacco products remains under
normal figures, the larger concerns OBJ
tain nearly their usual business, as the
usual quarterly dividend of II per cent
on preferred stock, payable July lst,
was declared by the American Tobacco
company last week. The usual semi
annual dividend of per cent on pre-
ferred stock was declared by the Amer
ican Cigar company, while the Amer
ican Snuff company declared the regu-
lar quarterly dividend on the preferred
stock of II per cent, and also the usual
quarterly dividend of 5 per cent, and
the customary extra dividend of 2 per
cent on common stock. At meeting
of the United Cigar company's direc-
tors, held recently, regular dividend
of $3.50 and so cents extra per share
was declared.

sold, and good deal has gone besides
in jobbipg sales. Most OF the sales
were made by country dealers, and
largely to city packers. Some New
& ork firms have bought, including Y.
II. Spitzner & Son, Cullman bros,
Rosenwald Bros. and j s. Cans q 20.
Prices range from sixteen to seventeen

The appeal of the convicted Kentucky
night riders will soon be heard In the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
for the eastern district of Kentucky.
The defendants are John S. Steers,
Perry Simpson, A. c. Webb, Jerry S.
Carter, Fred K. Conrad, R. Lee Con-
rad, John Caldwell and Hugh Lee Con-
rad. They were indicted and tried be-.
fore the district court where they were
found guilty on all three counts and
fined from 500 to 81, 900 each. This
case involves the right Of farmer to
ship his tobacco from one state to, an
other unrestrained by any group of IN
dividuals. The only question is whether
combination or conspiracy which has
for it's object the prevention of the
transportation Of tobacco and the with
drawal Of tobacco from interstate COM
merce after it has entered commerce
comes within Section of the Sherman
act. Agent Ramsey at the railroad
station at Dry Ridge, KY, received
from w. T. Osborn four hogsheads of
tobacco for transportation to Cincin-
natl on Nov. rs, 1907. The charge
against the defendants was that they
attempted to frighten Osborn into with
drawing his shipment or Ramsey from
shipping it. They got hold of the to-
bacco finally and did prevent the ship
ment. The evidence showed that three
of the defendants compelled Osborn
under threats to turn over the bill of
lading to them and the tobacco was
hauled back to Sanders place at the
head of procession of about 200 men.
That the fears of those who saw in
the free admission of Philippine tobac-
co and cigars menace to the domestic
industry were groundless is becoming
more and more apparent. Each month
the report of the Bureau of Statistics
shows decrease in shipments to this
country of Manilas as compared with
the corresponding month Of last
wear. The decrease in our Manila re-
ceipts does not necessarily connote the
rejection of the Manila cigar by the
American smoking public. There are
number of factors to be taken into
consideration. For instance, when the
law admitting Manila cigars free first
became operative there was rush on
the part of certain American houses to
lay in Manila cigars. Anything would
do, so that it was made in Manila. The
result was the country was flooded with
inferior products. When the Manila
manufacturers got their second breath,
they saw that this policy was poor
one, and they came to an agreement
limiting the quantity of the cheaper
cigars that could be shipped. They also
agreed not to ship any more cigars on
consignment. Another thing that an
analysis of the Manila figures makes
evident is that the 80, 600, 600 annual
allowance was an exceedingly liberal
one. Not quite $1,000, 600 cigars came
in free the first year, when there was
no limitation upon the types and quail
lity of the cigars that were sent here.
1t is extremely unlikely that more than
sc, 600, 900 or so, 900, 600 Manilas will be
brought in this year IN. 7. Leaf.

Stevenson played the first four periods as

combination with the two Waterburys he
brought off a goal that was easily his best

he frequently failed TO anticipate the di-

goal.

SEVENTH REGIMENT WINS
Columbia Nine Lose in Loose and
Poorly Played Game.

| Columbia was beaten by the 7th Regiment
! in a travesty on baseball az South Field
yesterday afternoon In a fve-inning game
by a score OF TO 6. About every kind of
misplay in the books was brought out for
an airing and the resulting exhibition was
enc Of the most weird that has been seen in
the city I'm many a day. Neither team
showed surprising ability IN the field, al
though the soldiers made the better at
tempt Of the two. At the bat Columbia was
outplayed, making only three safeties,
against the this nine.
The bitter cold wind that blew across the
field from the outset chilled the players,
and It was ell they could do to keep the
bail in their hands when they got It. The
pitchers were badly used up by the cold,
although Gorsch, who pitched tho first four
innings for the soldiers. got off without let
ting Columbia get a single hit. Mulphat,
who took his place. however, had no con-
troll over the ball, and FIVE bases on balls,
three hits and a batsman hit by the pitcher
gave Columbia six runs and let the Blue
and White nine almost tie the score.
Although the Eth Regiment nine had had
practically 10 practice, II played fairly
good game-a much better game, indeed
than Columbia Most Of the luck Of the
contest. however, fell 10 the soldiers. and
they made the best of It. They began 10

bases Kelly. the left fielder, waited for
good one and drove q sharp single past
