Extended space Is given In this Issue to a riport on tho Mclltvdo plantation, cne of the new properties of Hawaii's ixpandltiK sugar ludustry. Aside from the local peculiarities, special prob lems thnt have to bo met In each dis trict given over to sugar production Jkllrjilo Is tvplcal of the plantations brought Into existence tlncc the estab lishment of stable government war ranted expansion bejond the old time limits. All these properties are tafc In vestments. While It is impossible to guai anteo enormous specific returns lor these plantations, t.ny more thnn auj other new Industry, the character of the soli, water supplj, capable man ngemint, nnd the outlook of the sugar n'arkit so far as capable business men can forecast, all givo i remise, that Ha waii's new plantations will keep well up to the standards, .'or good returns, tint lias been established by the older properties Man) a dollar v. Ill be lost In enterprises of the Mainland which If placed In Hawaiian sugar securities would become n source of a splendid income. t Hawaii nt tho present time Is labor ing under a financial und Industrial scare as depressing as the boom of '03 was Inflating;. The pendulum lias swung to an opposite extreme. Any failure to obtain water In tho exact spot selected when work wns begun has been spread broadcast as threatening the success of the property. Any fail ure to take off the exact number of tons estimated has been exaggerated Into a promise of failure. Every derog atory statement to shake confidence has been caught up with ns much avidity as was a chance favorable word of former dns that sent the stock up live points at every sale of Ave shares. Having allowed themselves to run wild In speculation ninny ire now going as wildly In the opposite direction urged b foolish flnnnclnl fear. These nrc .ill details that experience has taught to to necessary for humanity to adjust Itself to salm consideration. The his tory of Ewa, the banner plantation of the Islands was not without Its period of depression when men hurried to get rid of their holdings on hearing tho report that tho water found In certain wells was brackish. The new plantations are going ahead, however, overcoming dllHcultles, meet ing new problems promptly, steadily advancing in valuo and proving the certainty of satisfactory returns on tho Investment. Investors who alio them selves to he frightened by bear move ments In the stock market which often have no connection with conditions on the plantation or plantations Involved are likely to find themselves In a mora distressing position than those ITTey contemplate when listening to deroga tory predictions. tE il In tho office of tho Collector of In ternal Kcvenuc, the force of deputies Is busy footing up tho totals bf busi ness as required by the department at tho closo of tho fiscal year. Phil It. Whclnn, cashier of the office is 111 at bis home. A, M, Webster, the ganger, has been called in to atslst In working off tho pile of accumulated duties. Chief Deputy II, D. Couzens, a public official who never Bleeps, Is a trltle busier than usual, While tho regulations of the depart ment prohibits tho giving out of figures by subordinated, tho Informa tion is vouched, that tho Revenue office for Hawaii has taken In a lot of coin the past jear. One thing of which all the hojs are pioud, Is a let ter from tho Treasury Department, which informs them that tho Hawaiian office has been entered In tho records as belonging to Grade, No. 1. This means thnt Us affairs and accounts; and business ha3 been udmlnlstcred with such accuracy and merit that tho office Is placed In the first 'grade. This re flects credit upon Collector Chamber lain and each and every deputy In tho office. i Wooley's Address at Central Union Church Ono of tho most effective temperance discourses nnd n wholesome sermon as well, was the address of John OtWool ley at the Cential Union church Sun day afternoon. The speaker was fa vored with a largo audience which ap predated the dignified, logical and wit ty speaker, as proved o) frequent out bursts of applause. The text was from the paittblo of tho sower Tho discouragements which beset the piolilliltlon cause wcro com pared to thoso wlhch surrounded tho 1 sower who went foith to sow," Ho charged the slow progress ot me cause to the Inferior tltlzensnlp among Chris tian people. Their courage falls when It comes to tho ballot. Ho urged all to he bold In standing up for convictions nnd. voto for the suppression of the evil of Intcmpoiauco, even though this might bo sowing seed a hundred )cars iilicad of time. SWHP 1 f I BYMR, Comlmtsloner Taylor received in the Kinau mall the following letter giving full details of the Havvill forest, Dro:1 Mr. Wroy Tailor, Honolulu. My Dear Sir: 1 have ourg of tho 10th Inst., regarding the lire nt Kukal au " I have been during tho week, twice, at the scene, lust came from there vesterday, The lire on lower section, after a great de.il of hard work, is I may say, under control, although, cause, to be settled todis by "Coroner's smouldering lire all ovlr ho place?lho soil burning down to a depth of twelve or fourteen Inches, and requires a gang constantly watching, as a second (Ire mny now take place over the ground of the first. The green cane tops and grass which did not get entirely de molished by the first lire, nrc now dry and In condition for burning again. The fire which wenf towards the forest is still raging nnd some eighty men wcro nt work trjlng to head it off the coffee patches, considerable of which has got burned up. It Is very hard in form any approximately correct idea, although In quoting A Horner's re marks I believe I am near the present area which has become denuded. The fire was started on the south west side of Ookala plantation, through Inqust. A fierce wind blowing nt the Inquest. A fierce wind blowing nt the time fanned the flames which passed through a narrow belt of wild forest nnd caught the Ookala cane of fifteen months growth inside of one and u half hours. This field of some eight to clghty-flvo aeics was demolished. The fire increasing In sperti traveled southwest to a small ncin of Horner's, cleaned it up, forty notes of fine cane over virgin soil. Every effort was made to keep the (Ire on the Hllo side of n large gulch there, but of no avail, It Jumped over 200 feet nnd caught more Cane, In short, It destroed ubout slxtv-flvo acres of Horner's cane, con siderable coffee, etc. Besides a cost of 12000 for extra labor used during the paBt week In suppressing the fire, the loss Ih estimated at (.'3,100 to the Hor ners. It Is rather serious, nnd thnt more particularly from n "tramp fire." There were up to jesterday approxi mately about $00 acres, of forest burn eil, chiefly Ohea nnd Ko.V, w Ith n slight mixture of sumach. I lo not think that nil of tho trees on this area will die, n man) of them me onlj scroched, but there arc n great number of them, so sick and sore headed, h.tIng been heated to their tips, that the planta tions have eordnood for years to come Should rain not come on at an early date nnd dampen down tho grass, etc. In forest, I would hesitate to say when or where the fire may stop, and do not feel surprised if it finally gets through to Walmca, if no change takes place In the weather, righting a fire on top Is nil right but when It gets under ncath It's pretty hot, nnd this Is tho roughest Arc I have seen on Hawuli, It Is hard to estimate tho damage on forest, COO acres or trees suitable for railroad tics or fence posts or beams of any kind, trees running from ono to two and a half diameter at ten feet from tho ground Is to make the least of it, valuable timber nnd a growth of many jenrs. Thoso values apart from the climatic Influence on surrounding country are considerable, and will foot up a nice round sum. Trusting you can gather from above a fair Idea o' the conflagration. I remain, Yours very truly. D. FOItBKS. Among tho passengers from Mnul and Hawaii inrthe Kinau Sunday were tho follow lng:-Mr. and Mrs. Vm. Auld, Harold I. Cruzan, Miss )L Austin. George Angus, II.
