II11.0 should feci gratified thnt
Governor Carter is willing to ex
tend to Mr. Peck an extension of
the Kohola & Hllo Railway fran
chise. With Mr. Peck's assurances
of his ability to finance the road
within six months or on his failure
to do so, to withdraw entirely from
the proposition, the people of this
vicinity should feel that his words
have some meaning and force to
them. Besides after an expenditure
of some $50,000 on the work thus
far accomplished it would be n great
hardship to the promotors to have
their only asset "taken away from
them. Mr. Peck has been greatly
handicapped by individual "knock
ers," who have done everything
but assist in lending aid to the
enterprise. While some say that
others should have an opportunity,
now that Peck and his associates
have failed within the lime allotcd
them, yet there are no assurances
that any other crowd is ready to
commence building immediately or
that they would not take a couple
of years to get into exactly the
same position that Peck is now in.
Even Dillingham says that while
he wants the opportunity of build
ing out into Hamakua if Peck tails
to accomplish his purpose, yet he
can give no assurances that he will
build immediately. Wc feel that
the Governor is doing the right
thing in putting no obstacles in
Peck's way, inasmuch as he is so
close to accomplishing his purpose.
TitKREare two matters which the
present legislature should now
take up, and these are building
regulations and side-walk improve
ments for the city of Hilo. Front
Street with its great array of new
and unsightly shacks is an eye-sore
to this community. The lack of
side-walks in the resident portions
of town is disagreeable not only
during the wet weather, but during
the present dry season, when peo
ple are forced to wade -through in
ches of dust. Pitman between
Waianuenue and Church should
receive the first attention, after
wards the other main streets.
Tho Masquerade.
The Masquerade given by the Hilo
Cotillion Club last Tuesday evening was
a decided success. All the arrangements
were carried out beautifully, mid a motley
crowd of rompers scampered around and
about Spreckels' Hall. The air wus
filled with confetti, and with serpentines
streaming in festoons about the room,
there was every appearance of a good old
time carnival. Good old Jacques sat
himself upon a rock and railed on Lady
Fortune, while a bevy of rollicking
clowns brushed away the cob-webs of the
work-day world. Jocund day stood tip
toe 011 the misty mountain top before the
echo of jollity and frivolity faded away,
nnd night's candles were burned out.
Police Court Affairs.
Manuel Lucas a Portuguese was arrest
ed last week between Hilo aud Kau as
he was escaping with abouc $140 of the
property of Kndiuia,.a fellow country
man. He was brought up before Judge
Hapai and fined $25.00.
Momi Hasimoto for the third time has
been caught selling spirituous liquor in
Kloudyke Alley, Smithville. She was
fiued $250 and costs.
Juan Dins was brought up before Judge
Hapai yesterday for assault upon K.imoti
Trogo with a deadly weapon. . The in
jury was only slight being a cut in the
stomach, and was the result of a quarrel
over nationality.
.
Terry's Automobile.
W. S. Terry has imported a light four
horse power surrey automobile, with ca
pacity to carry four people. It is the
"Orient" make, manufactured by the
Wallham Manufacturing Co. of Mass.,
with Ixuly finished in maroon and natu
ral wood. It has a speed of as miles per
hour, and is guaranteed to run or kick

to Mr. Itcn.
The Triiiunk is in receipt of n letter
from Mr. McStocker, which appears be
low, and which is in answer to the letter
written the Honolulu llulletin by Mr.
Itcn, which is as follows:
Mountain View, Hawaii.
February 10, 1905.
Editor Evening llulletin: As you pub
lished my brief replies to the "Pinkhatu
Commission" I wish vou to also publish
the detailed statement below concerning
the raising of enne by the small farmer
and the unfair share taken by the mill.
1 worked hard for two years and had
my money Invested all thnt time waiting
for results, while the mill has results in
two days after taking hold of the proposi
tion: In accordance with the agreement I
entered into with the Olaa Sugar Co.
June 10th, 1901, to plant ten acres of
cane and which Is known as the crop of
1902, 1 incured the following expences:
Plowing, per acre $ 5 00
Harrowing, per acre I 00
Seed, per acre 33 00
Hauling seed 1 3 00
Planting 5 00
Fertilizer 1 00
Spreading fertilizer 12 00
Weeding, cultivation and strip
ping 50 00
Taxes per acre for a years a 00
Interest paid on cost ot clearing
and advances, a years 25 00
Total -$39 00
I raised 51 tons of cane per acre on
nine acres (having cut one acre to
plant another piece of land) or a -little
over six and one-third tons of sugar per
acre (6.375). '
Cost per ton of sugar at maturity $21.65
As follows:
Material and general expences fit 15
Labor to 50
I received from the mill as my portion
under the contract per ton of sugar $31.08.
(Should have been $33.08, but $2.00
per ton was taken off for the U. S. Sugar
Trust at New York.)
The above was equivalent to $208.10
per acre for cane.
The San Francisco price per ton of su
gar was $65 65 less $2 00 to the Sugar
Trust for the purpose of my contract
as construed by the mill. -
New York price was $73.35 less $2.00
for the Sugar Trust.
In other words I paid the Sugar Trust
$2ooper ton of sugar as I suppose for a
"corruption fun.i."
I paid 8 cents interest to the Sugar
Company for advances and 10 per cent to
other parties for money (or clearing land
at about $100.00 per acre.
The following statement shows the
mill's profits on the transaction.
Mill's expenses fur handling my crop
after maturity are:
Cutting and fluming, per ton of
sugar $ 4 00
Manufacturing (commonly called
grinding) 3 00
Sacks t 50
Freight to Hilo a 00
Freight to San Francisco 3 00
Commission 5 per cent ou New
York price 3 70
Total $17 20
The New York price can be determined
by adding $7.50 to the San Francisco
price, that amount being the freight per
ton of sugar.
RKCAPITUI.ATION.
Mills expenses $17 20
Mill's profits 17 37
(My) Small farmer expeuscs $23 65
Small farmer's small profits $ 7 43
II. ITF.N.
HONOUJI.U, Feb. 14, 1905.
Mr. Editor: As one interested in the
development and upbuilding ol this
Territory by the settlement of its lauds
by "small farmers," irrespective of what
they may adopt as an industry, be it
rubber, sisal, pines, bananas, cane or
what, and if cane, iu the theory of the
Central Mill System, (there is room
enough for all) it seems advisable to
make some analysis of the letter of Mr.
Itcn published in the Evening Bulletin
of the 13th. This irrespective of any
argument on the "Pinkham Commission
Report," or any other.
Accepting Mr. Hen's figures as correct
(he does not credit his account with the
value of the seed taken) we find that his
cane cost him $2.72 per ton of cine, (I
take the basis of a ton ofcaue rattier than
sugar, as it may have taken 8 tons of his
cane to the ton of sugar or it may have
9 or more, but we will assume for the
bake of argument that it took 8) for
which he received (from his own figures)
$3.88 per ton ofcaue or an advance of 43
per cent, on the cost and a profit of $9.28
per ton of sugar, instead of $7.43.
Taking the contra side we fiml by re
ferring to the Olaa report that it cost
from the mill to market $16.21 per toil of
sugar, licuce we deduct cutting ami Hum
iug.
Per ton sugar , .....$ 4.00
Manufacture & Containers 4.50
Marketing 10.21
$24.71
To this must be ndded:
Cost of flumiiig, watchmen, de
lays, etc
Handling flume boxes, Imulnge,
installation and removal, waste,
etc., say
(This will be reduced as cane
areas become more contract.)

Add price paid to Mr. Itcn

The price paid to the Mill was
$73.35 less i-io of a cent or net 71.35
The Mill profit $9.56
Agaiiibt Air. Iteu's 9.2U
TI1K SMALL PAKMKIt IN Ul.AA.
If Hie cane should be 9 to I instead of
8 tot, the mill profit would be proper-
tionatelv reduced.
Taking the line of interest on Invest
ment, the mill to earn 6 per cent, on cost
of mill, mill site, flumes, including flume
from watcrhcad, cars, track, etc., (the
otdy Items of the plantation outjjl that
conic in direct contact with the planter)
should expect about $4.75 a ton of sugar,
based on nil approximate output of
20,000 tons of sugar manufactured from
160,000 tons of cane, hence the profit to
the mill 011 its investment was within 13
ncr cent.

If we arc to approach this Rubect, let
us at least do so in n fair spirit, as cer
tainly nothing is to be gained by mis
