Hutchinson Plantation Mar Co-operate
With Homesteader.
Tlie most valuable part of the
lands of the Hutchinson Plantation
company in the district of Kau,
Island of Hawaii, belongs to tho
territorial government and the lease
thereon is about to expire. A
number of would-be homesteaders
have applied to Laud Commissioner
Pratt to homestead the same land
under the Settlement Association
plan. The plantation has been re
sisting this proposition by seeking
to get the lauds again under a new
lease, claiming that it would ruin
the plantation to take away so
much of its best cane lauds, which
arc understood to approximate 800
acres.
The would-be homesteaders
thereupon stated they would plant
the land in sugar cane if they were
given as good terms as have hereto
fore been given Japanese planters
on plantation lands. The directors
of the company have nearly decid
ed to take the would-be home
steaders at their word and give them
the contracts which they desire.
This is the first move in a policy
which may entirely revolutionize
the system of producing sugar cane
on many of the plantations on
Hawaii.
Mr. II. E. Cooper, representing
the Hutchinson Plantation, said
that Mr. W. G. Irwin, a large
owner in the plantation, and head
of the firm of W. G. Irwin & Co.,
the Hutchinson agency in Hono
lulu, was quite favorable to the
proposition. He said that the
homesteaders comprised Senator
Hewitt, Dr. Thompson, Miss Ben
Taylor, Mr. Hazleton and many
other prominent people besides sev
eral Hawaiians. The lauds in
question arc uudcr a lease which
expires in October. From the sea
up to the higher lauds there were
1800 acres involved, of which but
800 were planted with cane. The
association, as he understood it,
intended taking over the whole
section.
When the plantation people went
to Imd Commissioner Pratt to
renew their lease on these lands, it
found that the proposed home
steaders had already filed applica
tions for the same. They proposed
to be bona fide homesteaders and
under the circumstances the gov
ernment was bound to take cogniz
ance of their request. The planta
tion owners and the agency are
now quite favorable to the scheme,
and if Mr. Cooper ascertains that
the homesteaders will meet the
plantation on reasonable terms, Mr.
Cooper is likely to report back to
the directors that the plan is a
good one.
Iturlmnk Anticipated.
Much has been printed of late in
newspapers and magazines of the
variety of spineless cactus which
Burbank, the wizard of California,
has given to the world. Perhaps
it will be of interest to know that
nature itself, without the aid of
scientific intervention, has already
provided such a variety that thorn-
less cactus has been growing on
Maui for many years past. To be
sure it does not flourish greatly,
but a tree here and there can be
found throughout the Kula pauini
country and specimens can be seen
even in Wailuku town. It is most
difficult to obtain any of the fruit,
for Hawaiians are most fond of it
and gather it as soon as it appears
on the plant and animals devour
the leaves at every opportunity.
It is a mistake to believe that the
thorns of the ordinary panini are
injurious to cattle or that stock
must be nearly starved berore they
will attempt to eat the leaves and
fruit of the prickly pear. On the
contrary many Kula cattle live and
thrive upon it year after year, and
not only that but piefer the fruit and
leaves of it, spines and all, to the
best variety of grasses.
The spineless cactus of Maui re
sembles closely the thorny kind in
every way except as to spines and
none of these arc found on leaf,
fruit or seed. The fruit is of red
dish color. Years ago in Wailuku,
Father Bailey planted a hedge of
(hornless paninis on the Waikaku
side of his residence.
ColTee Ik donklnc tip.
Willett & Gray, New York, June
29, says of the coffee markets:
The coffee markets are still go
ing through the quiet period usual
at this time, and as our markets
will be closed from July 1st to 5th,
holiday dullness prevails. It is
very noticeable that the European
and Brazil markets hold firm, Kit
rope because of the further large
decrease of stocks, and Brazil be
cause of higher exchange and un
willingness of holders to give way.
Reports from Europe show that
dealers there must buy soon, no
matter what price, as they have
not enough trading assortments.
Brazil is aware of this, and it fur
nishes the best reasons for holding
firm, not to mention the unprofit
able currency basis. The regular
deliveries from the seaports i 11 Eu
rope show the absolute necessities
of consumption and point to the
probability of heavy buying in Bra
zil as new coffee comes down, if
only to maintain supplies. This is
an important feature and should be
worthily considered. The Ameri
can visible supply is working down
and buyers from this side arc oblig
ed to cuter to Brazil markets for
better supplies of commercial and
selected coffees. Good parcels of
old crop, good roasting Santos, are
scarce, and Santos exporters de
mand high prices. Itissignificicnt
also that new crop coffees are offer
ed only sparingly. Some intima
tions are made that the yield causes
disappointment and other parties
begin to confirm a smaller San
tos crop than hitherto estimated.
It is known that consuming mar
kets must buy freely. They can
only do so in Brazil, as the Mild
crops are about finished. Brazil is
well informed of this and seems
prepared to stand up for a price,
and waiting buyers should take
heed to avail the present low val
ues, before an advance should come
as a natural result of competition.
The new crop is but moderate when
looking at the world's constantly
increasing consumption.
The current ciop finishes 10,000,
000 bags in Rio Grande and San
tos. Apart from the decrease of
about 1,500,000 bags in the world's
visible (the Bremen stock was not
included a year ago) for the crop
year, a heavy shrinkage has occurr
ed in invisible supplies. Similar
decreases arc certain until Brazil
can give larger crops, but existing
conditions of plantations, labor and
price are against it.
No. 7 Rio at 7 3-4C. store terms
is cheaper here than it can be re
placed from Brazil, while Rio and
Santos No. 4 coffee commands 8 1
4c, and a premium on that for good
selections.
Making Itutter of Cocounut Oil.
According to a report submitted
to our State Department by Consul
General Skinner, of Marseilles,
France, an extensive trade in butter
substitutes is growing up in Europo,
the chief of these compounds being
copra, or cocoanut butter, with the
center of manufacture at Marseilles.
A single firm in that city turned
out 7200 tons of this edible crease
in one year. It is produced by the
manipulation of copra oil, but the
secret of its manufacture is jealously
guarded and remains in the hands
of a few. The 'compound is sold
under the names of "vegetaline"
and "cocoaline," and is declared to
be wholesome as well as cheap,
and is generally sold on its merits.
It is a boon to the poor, and there
has been no attempt to put legal
restrictions on its sale. Leslie's.
