by stockholders Of Oahu Sugar com.
pany detailing plans OF the directors
for increasing the capitalization of the
company by the issuance Of stock

auctions for depreciation there has
accumulated a. substantial profit and
loss account and that there will also
have been expended this year 1885,, 900
in connection with extension Of the
plantation and the Waiahole water
project; that this has come from the
profits and that the stockholders are
entitled to the benefit. 1t submits
the proposition that the capitalization
be inefeased from So ;e00, eco to $6s000e
900 and that one share of new be
issued to holders for each five of old
without further payment and in lieu OF
profits put into the business of the
company.
The letter continues that il appears
in addition to paying regular monthly
dividends OF per, cent by the com.
pany will probably be in position to
pay extra dividends of 4 per cent
From 81 900 200 70 s., ESQ., 900 viii be
needed to raise the production Of the
mill to $4,000 tons and that later it
must be determined whether this shall
be paid from the earnings or whether
there shall be an issue of assessable
stock.
Waiahole Water company Is owned
by Oahu Sugar company, has capt.
talization Of $2,000,00 and an over.
draft on the latter company of 1884,.
302, so ii is recommended that such
capitalization shall be raised to ST.
500, 1000. Ill. ~ -.
Pioneer Mill Plans Increase.

Mill company met and called a stock.
holders meeting to be held July q

capitalization OF that company and the
payment OF a stock dividend. It is

900 is to be recommended which
would give present holders one new
share for each four shares they hold.

4 NY doubts that Honolulu's first

cess fled into the distance yesterday
afternoon when Mayor Lane, Mrs. P
L. Weaver, Mrs w. J. Forbes, presi
dent of the College Club; President
Harrington of the AID Club and other
grown.ups gave the formal touches to
the opening of the school at the Kaiu-
lani grounds.
The children themselves had open
ed the school hours before, and had
spent most. Of a happy, busy day on
the grass of the big, shady grounds
under the trees, frolicking in the
swings, playing basketball and base
ball and a hundred other games, and
generally enjoying themselves.
Tired mothers and big sisters, sit
ting around on the grass with great
relief in their eyes, had also opened
the school. ~@ X =.
0s course the mayor and the band
and some speeches were nm order to
give a sort Of tone" to the opening
day, but the kiddies-hundreds and
hundreds Of them-didn't need any
officials or band music to make them
know that something new and mighty
nice was happening. =
And when Mrs. Mary Moore, who
has charge of the experiment and has
worked hard on the preliminaries,
stepped up on bench and told the
children it made her very happy to
see so many of them and find that
the plan was going to be success,
she meant every enthusiastic word of
it. ~@.
The school opened at 10 and Mrs.
Moore and her three assistants we're
busy until the shadows grew long and
the children strayed home for din
ner. The little touch Of formality
began about 3 O'clock with the arrival
of Mayor Lane, Mrs. w. J. Forbes,
Mrs. Walter F. Frear, w. r. Earring
ton, Superintendent of Instruction H.
w. Kinney and other visitors. The
band, seated under some huge trees,
played a couple of pieces and then
Mrs. Forbes, Mr. Harrington, the may.
or, and Mrs. Moore made brief little
talks, urging the children not only to
make the best use of the vacation
school facilities but to pass the word
along to other children.
As president of the College Club
Mrs. Forbes spoke earnestly and in
terestingly to the children, impress
ing on them the necessity for physi-
cal and moral cleanliness.
There were youngsters there from
all over Honolulu. Some had come
several miles. They were of all ages,
sizes and nationalities. They all play
ed together joyously. Earlier in the
afternoon there was folk -dancing and
some organized games and later the
kids played just as they wished to.
Mrs. Weaver of the College Club,
which is. sponsor for the movement,
was on the grounds most of the day.
Mrs. Moore's three assistants, Eliza
beth Spencer, Edna Morris and Hazel
Hoffman, did valuable work in help
ing to look after the children, to reg
lister them, and to keep the games
going.
Scout Commissioner Harry Hay
ward sent 16 Boy Scouts, under the
leadership of Rudolph Duncan, to pa
troll the grounds, and Mrs. Moore said
that they had done very fine work

STRIP Of WHARF

Construction of a warehouse, oil
storage tank, and siding for loading
rock barges, win soon be started by
the U. S. Engineers Office here, the
board OF hareor commissio ners iat
their meeting Monday having granted
the request Of Maj. r. r. Raymond,
engineer officer of this district, to use
a strip Of the Channel Wharf from 10
to 80 or IS feet wide, as an approach
from the building site to the harbor.
The lighthouse department was
granted authority to remove temper
arily the range light now on the, roof
OF the Oahu Shipping Company's
warehouse, on Pier 8, at the foot OF
Fort street, to similar north and
south position on one Of the roofs OF
Pier 10, while the shipping company's
building is torn down by the con-
tractor for the rev territorial piers
s, Q and Is. -.
Capt. William +. Foster, the harbor-
master, was given authority to arrange
a suitable location to which the COM
pany,s fleet can move while its pres:
ent wharf and warehouse are out of
commission. The Eva end OF Pier Is
has boon suggested but the board in
speeted the site and found it might
interfere with railroad tracks. A
more feasible plan is to move the
refugee German steamer Setos toward
the outer end Of Pier 16, and give the
space she now occupies. at the upper
end. 10 the Eben Low fleet, as the
Oahu Shipping Company's boats are
called.
The board plans to dredge the upper
end of Pier 16 If money enough is left
from the new pier contracts.

@sUMMER MADNESS" AND PRov1NcIALIsM

Summer madness" the Advertiser calls the free
port idea for Honolulu, and closes leading editorial
this morning thus:
It Is fine thing to dream dreams. but it is a finer
thing to make dreams true, II they within
the range Of probability. Characterization Of Ho-
noulu in order that someone can dig up the pot Of
sold at the foot Of the rainbow will have to be
plained in great detail, with blue prints plans and
Specifications, before many people will take much
stock in 1t.
Precisely why the free port plan would "de-Amer-
icanize" Honolulu the Advertiser fails to state just
as morning contemporary fails to state any speci-
&c objections to the idea.
New Yorks commercial bodies did not consider
the free port move toward "de-Americanization'
when they named a commission of experts to go
abroad and study the workings of the system in Euro
pean cities.
Boston and Baltimore did not believe they were
Misunderstanding themselves in investigating the
idea. -% III -
Frederick c. Howe, u. S. commissioner of irnrri-
grafton, did not understand that he deArerican
izing himself when he recently advocated the trial
Of the plan in six cities of the United States.
There may be valid objections to the plan, but
MISUNDERSTANDING" is not one of them. The very
fact that American cities, seeing the tremendous in
dustral development growing out of the application
Of the idea in such ports as Hamburg Copenhagen
and Bremen, have walked up and are beginning to
study the system ought to be valuable tip to Homo
ulu In some respects this city is admirably located
for the application of the free port idea.
The Star-Buletin is not prepared to say that the
dea should be adopted forthwith and holus-bolus.
We have never advocated that What we do say is
that adequate investigation of the SYSTEM and the
disability of its use in Honolulu should be made by
.dequate investigators.
Where in the name Of American enterprise would
nation have been had its businessmen not dream
ID dreams and made them come true? Are we get
ing SO provincial that turn down idea simply
I1cause it has worked well elsewhere?
