yesterday. 81 believe that all the
pines that these Islands can produce
will be satisfactorily marketed by the
eanneries and that the grower will get
a good enough price for his product
that, II he uses proper care and meth
DDS, he can show fair profit for his
efforts. Unlike many so-caIled farmers
here, intend to do my own clearing,
blowing, planting and harvesting, EN-.
ploylng outside labor only when abso-
lutely necessary. In this way ! intend
to cut down the cost Of production to
the lowest minimum; too many men,
right now at various places on Oahu
and especially Maui, are trying TO farm
and hold down good job here in the
city at the same time and are wonder
ing why the farm seems to be hole
into which they have TO dump an end
less supply Of cash. To farm success
fully, a man must drop every other
thing and put his whole energy into
his farm work. He must make up his
mind to dispense with city comforts,
too, and take in their stead many hard
knocks, plenty of hard work and many
things, which, TO city man, may seem
impossible to overcome

Mr.. Chatham is married and is the
father Of three boys, whom he hopes to
raise with a liking for the country and
an agricultural life. He believes that
the partial lack Of school facilities in
the country is more than made up for
by the lack also, of cheap, uneensored
moving picture shows, and that the
good, outdoor wholesome work which
usually falls TO the lot of country
boy does more TO it him for an honor
able career as man than any so-ealled
advantages Of the city.

win Have Ten Dattlszhips h
Water by Time Other Ma
tions Have Two.

LONDON, March l7.--Great Britain
will have ten Of the new big gun bat.
tleships in the water by the time any
other nation in the world has two,
declared winston Spencer Churchill,
first lord Of the admiralty, in the
House of Commons today. = All of
these ships he added, nwilI carry
fiftcen-inch guns the best weapons
ever possessed by the British navy
and capable of hurting proJeetile
weighing ton for distance or twelve
miles.
-Four Of these ships, which are
presumably TO burn oil, are provided
in the budget for next yeaf lilhree Of
them are Of the Sovereign type and
one of the Queen Elizabeth type.
The Qneen Elizabeth, launched last
October, was the first ship 10 mount
fifteeninch guns, of which she Is TO
have ten, Her cost is estimated at
about $l2 ,0OO,000. She uses oil fuel ex-
clusively.
The Royal Sovereign, the first ship
Of an even more powerful type, has
not yet been launched and no details
as to her size or equipment have been
made public.
The latest type Of American
Dreadnought is provided with twelve
l4inch guns.
A variant ON the naval holiday =

mates for lo14,15, amounting to
So 100000, he said: - Every delay,
accidental or deliberate, by the next
strongest power to. England VIII be
matched by us.n 49,.
Admitting that the naval estimates
were the largest that had ever been
submitted to the House, Mr.. Churchill
gilded the pill by making the predic.
tion that in the absence Of any new
departures, the estimates for 1858
would be substantially lower than Che
present ones, which show an Increase
Of $13,7O0,OO0 over. those Of last year.
Mr.. Churchill reiterated that II was
the policy of Great Britain 20 conf
plete eight battle squadrons by the
time Germany had established five
without calculating ships on foreign
stations. lie explained that the deveI-
opment Of the German fleet had not
been so rapid as had been anticipated
owing to difficulties in manning the
vessels.
Great Britain, therefore had been
enabled to postpone the completion
Of her Gibraltar squadron, which now
consists Of only fonr battleships, The
increased expenditure, no said, was
largely attributable to the change TO
oil fuel, to the establishment Of naval
flying corps and to the increased pay
Of the bluejaekets. a,
Mr.. Churchill ayowed his preference
for aeroplanes instead Of dirigiblt
balloons, but admitted that the latter
possessed greater radius OF action
and carrying power and were more Of
fective at night.

atty to introduce regulations acceler

her hand in marriage, which request,
