Onomea Sugar Company will harvest
IL, 900 tons Of sugar during the pres

yield last year was 16,SS3.625 tons
At the annual meeting held this morn
ing in the offices of Castle & Cooke,
the managers report was read, and
the routine business of the annual
meeting transacted.
The manager in HIS report states
that the physical condition of the
plantation has never been so good as
at present. Labor conditions are also
reasonably satisfactory But he points
out that it is costing more to produce
a ton of sugar than formerly. on &C
count of labor, taxes, and supplies,
and there does not seem to be any
way by which this can be prevented.
The net returns from the 1913 sugar
crop amounted to $12S,920.55. Divi-
dends amounting to II per cent, or
$4,000 were paid during the year,
and the balance to surplus is carried

NO BACKWARD STEPS

Republican delegates who are assembled to-
day from all over the territory have in their
hands the opportunity to make or mar the party
in the course of the next few years.
If the spirit of the new direct primary law is
sincerely interpreted in the rules to be chosen by
this conventions if any possible selfish interest is
put aside, the result will go far to assure success
in the next territorial and county elections
The convention, as it organized this morning,
met in a businesslike way and is proceeding
without fuss or feathers to full and fair discus
sion of the proposed rules and various amend
ments prepared for submission. No fights have
developed, no friction, and if the convention
keeps up its present good temper it should close
its work sometime tonight with good results.
The Star Bulletin has indicated from time to
time during the past weeks some of the rules it
believes should be adopted by the party to give a
fair Interpretation to the new primary law and
the spirit of the political times. This paper has
published many suggestions from Republicans
whose opinions are worth something. Most of
these suggestions will be brought up today and
appearances are that they will be fayorably re
ceived
When the work of today's gathering can be
totaled up, it will be seen if the new rules ade-
quately express the Opinions of the progressive
Republicans of Hawaii If they do, the party
will have immensely strengthened its position.

crowds. Thousands OF people are apt to be dis
mayed at the half-doIlar and dollarcharges and
pay nothing whatever into the Carnival fund.
There is large population here whose amuse-
ments are ON the ten-cent and twenty-five-cent
basis, and some way might be found for inc0r,
porating in the Carnival programs events that
will attract these on big scale, with accommo-
dations for them.
The handling of the seating problem, how
ever, was conspicuous for its efficiency. There
were OF course instances where people did not
get the seats they paid for and other instances
where they could get no seats at all, but in gen.
cral the accommodations for those who bought
tickets were well handled.
Director general Dougherty and his asso-
ciates may well feel proud of the success of the
1914 Carnival and all Hawaii may well feel Ger.
tain that these annual fetes are investments in
community goodwill and island advertising
that repay richly in coin of more than the legal.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The last issue of the Record for
1914 is published today. Incidental
ly, the year ends with this date of
issue. In looking back over the
year just dying there area number
of things which attract interest.
For instance, it seems that no other
year has brought the degree of pros
perity to the county that it has just
experienced in the year of 1914. In
Linton all kinds Of business have
prospered. The town has continued
to grow; not by boom with the
later reaction, but by healthy,
steady growth. New residences of
a substantial character. sidewalks
galore and the usual hundred and
one improvements have been exper-
fenced. A steady demand for an
electric-light plant has been becom-
ing more and more insistent. At no
far date such plant will be a reali-
cation. TWAS by only narrow mar
gin that the same was not already
an accomplished fact.
With the coming Of spring there
will be still greater improvements.
Already plans are completed for the
erection of two fine modern resi-
dences. The Welles Thompson
Lumber Company isat work on en-
tirely Lew yards Of a substantial ma
4ture. With the opening of spring
there will he a considerable increase
in sidewalk building.
Elevator companies have pros.
pered and with them the farmers.

ing this town It seems impossible
that Linton should be IAN important
