Fourteen Indictments Were dieted for Criminal Libel. to Open Road RUKISCR GROVVF.IIS VISIT PLANTATION. Sixty-three persons in teres ed in the growing of rubber in the terri tory landod from the Likeliko at the new landing at Nahiku Satur day morning at about five thirty o'clock and went at once to the residence of the manager of the Hawaiian-American Rubber Com puny where breakfast was prepared for all. The trip on the steamer was an unusually smooth one and the party was in good shape for the ride through the plantations. After breakfast Mr. Q. Q. Brad ford tapped two trees planted by Mr. Hugh Howell. Many expected to see rubber How from the trees as freely as milk from a pitcher but they were of course compelled to suffer disappointment. The large tree tapped had been tapped many times and had scars oi many classes to 6how where it had suffered at tho hands of thu rubber men as well as curious passers by. The method of tapping consisted in cutting a groove in tho bark after removing the outer bark. This groove was made by a knife especially manufactured for the purpose. The groove was made from a height of about six feet to the ground. Care was exercised in preventing the cut from being deep ODOUE'n to injure the wood. As tho Ceara latex coagulates readily' a canvas bag was tied above the two grooves and diluted ammonia al lowed to trickle down the groove and aid the flow of rubber. The rubber was led ir.to a con tainer on tho ground by means of a half round spout driven into the tree at its foot. After tho flow of caoutchouc had ceased it was coagulated by pour ing into it a little acetic acid in order to neutralize tho effect of tho ammonia. There was probably less than an ounce of commercial rubber taken from eacli tree. The small amount obtained was probnbly duo to the UAMMTIUS Capital Stock Surplus and Profits ;.. Circulation "...

In- fact that the larger tree had been tapped too frequently while the smaller tree was too young to tap After this, demonstration tho members of tho party began to mount horses provided by the rub ber plantations and rode off through the miles of growing trees. A few took conveyances, which afforded them more comfortable means of transportation but not eo good opportunities for seeing the plantations. 'Ihose on horseback covered many miles of territory during the day visiting the different varieties of trees growing on tho different plantations and at different eleva tions. 1 110 eara variety was louiui to be making a vigorous growth where over the soil was good which was found to bo the case in most local ities, lhoy arc ot course poor spots of land every where and Nahiku is not an exception. These spots aro louiui principal! v on tne ions of ridges or where tho soil has, been washed away and leaving but few inched of earth on solid rock. The trees growing at an olova- tation of fifteen hundred feet wero found to bo as healthy and vigorous as those growing at a lower level but the growth is not so groat dur ing the year as those growing at a lower level where there is greater heat. At tho residenco of the manager of tho Nahiku Rubber Company a luau was spread for tho hungry visitors who had spent the morn ing in riding over the plantation. After tho luau was over tho annual meeting of t he Hawaiian Rubber Growers' Association was held at 'which nearly every one present paid tho initiation fee and became a member by vote of the charter members. President D. C. Lindsay called the meeting to order while Secre tary Hugh IIowoll recorded tho minutes. Tho minutes of the first meeting wore read and approved. In tho proposal to adopt tho con stitution and by laws much discus sion developed. Tho same were finally adopted with a few minor changes and all seemed satisfied with tho same as changed. The meeting was one of tho most important in the history of Hawa iian Horticulture. The statements mado oy those who should know woro far more encouraging that any 01 those who liavo invested in rubber have dared to hopo for from authorities on tho subject. Jnred G. Smith, the director of the U. S. Experiment Station was the first spoaker. His addros? was most instructive. Ho said in part "Rubber is a calloid and is just tho opposite of sugar which will dis solve in water. Rubbor cannot be dissolved.
