BIG PLANTATION
DEAL REACHES
FINAL STAGES
Continued from page one)

Az
Late Monday a petition for amend
ment TO the articles Of association of
the Lihue Plantation Company was
filed In the office Of Territorial Treas
urer e. J. Mccarthy. The petition
asks that the company be allowed to
increase fits capital stock from $780,
900 to SO 900 900, and to raise the linn
II Of its capitalization from $2,500,000
to $4,000, 900.
This proposed increase in capital
stock. It is understood is to pave the
way for the acquisition of Makee and
the necessary financing of the pur.
chase and operation.
Makee Sugar Company is assessed
at $1,254,790 The crop this year is
about 5000 tons but next years crop Is
expected to run 1900 or better, say
plantation men, and as only a small
amount OF work remains to be done on
this crop, il is a large asset of the
company and figures as such in the
sale.
Bic Development Forecast.
The acquisition of Makee will not
only mean much in sugar production
but in transportation. Kealia. as Ma
kee Is often known, and Lihue will
combine in the use OF Nawiliwili har-
Dor when the harbor project is car
ried out and the Kealia landing prob
ably will be abandoned. The proposed
government railroad from end to end

Preparatory to this 1t is expected
that franchise bill will be introduced
in the next legislature and after the
bill has passed the local solons it will
20 to congress for approval, and the
road viii be constructed and operated

DEATH OF MRS. SUNDET

Mrs. o. j. Sundet, one of the old
and highly respected residents of this
county, passed away at her home in
this city Tuesday afternoon, the cause
of death being dilation of the heart
and Bright's disease.
The deceased lady, whose maiden
name was Lima Larson, was born at
Helgeland, Norway, in 1860, and came
with her parents to America eight
years later settling at La Crosse, Wis.
In 1873 the family moved to Brook
ings county, and here she developed
into young womanhood. Three years
later, or in December, 1876, she was
married to Ole j. Sundet and they
settled on a homestead in Medary
township on which they resided for SO
years. Two years ago they moved to
Brookings to educate the younger chill
dren and to take a much needed rest.
On May &c she was taken sick and had
been a sufferer ever since, the hot
weather making it very hard on her.
She bore her trouble without COM
plant however.
She was the mother of five sons and
eight daughters, all of whom survive
her. She also leaves her husband, two
brothers and two sisters. Eight of
the children are married and the
other five children still reside at home.
She united with the Lutheran church
at the time of her marriage and has
been a good and consistent member
yer since.
The funeral will be held from the
Lutheran church Saturday afternoon
and will be in charge Of Rev. B. A.
Benson. Interment will take place in
the Lutheran cemetery south of Volga
following the services at the church.

Fair Was Financial Success-Attend-

Notes on Fair

The Brookings county fair wound up
Friday evening in a blaze of glory as
Martins fireworks rang down the cur
tain or the last gay crowd which came
out to see and be amused. 1t was a
fair worth crossing the state to see,
full and complete in all its depart
ments, educational in showing what
the county has done and is capable of
doing and in stimulating a progressive
ness which must in time be a mutual
benefit to every citizen of this great
county.
Thursday afternoon every section Of
the county was well represented in the
large crowd which came to the fair.
Many people were here from points in
surrounding counties. Between $500
and 5000 people passed through the
gates that afternoon, and all came
away feeling they were well repaid for
coming.
Besides the music, big free attrac-
tions and exhibits there was a good
racing card; the 2:30 trot and the
mixed 2:17 trotters and PAGERS. The
result of these events are as follows:
