and secondly, because more than 800
acres, or nearly one-fourth of tho area
for tho present crop consists of short
ratoon cane, which It has been neces
sary to ralso In order to cquallto the
crops. Most of the fields wcro badly
attacked by lcaf-hoppcr during last
winter and spring, nnd the greater part
of the crop has been seriously affected
by this pest. Tho weather has been

field had to be abandoned, tho cano
being partly used for seed, and tho
yield from the remaining 200 acres
will bo very small.
Tho grinding of tho crop of 1906
woa commenced on January 3d. A
shortage of labor In tho beginning of
the season, and a general strike, last
ing a wholo week, during January, hni
set the grinding somewhat back, but
being at present well supplied with
labor, and everything running smooth

come off In good time. '
Crop of 1907: For tho eron of 1907
there are now under cultivation C79

Schooner's
Much uneasiness has been felt "by
Lcwors & Cooko concerning tbo dolay
In arrival of tho schooner Allco
Cooke, now 48 days from Port Oam
bio with lumber, and when It was
learned by them this morning that the
transport Sherman had sighted a
schooner last night, partly dismasted,
there was talk of sending a steamer
out to Investlgato and furnish aid, as
It was bellccd to bo the missing lum
ber boat.
Further Information recched lator
from tho captain of the Sherman, how
ever, procd that It was not the Allco
Cooke, for tho latter is a four-masted
schooner, and tho one sighted Is three
masted. 8,0 Lew era Cooko nro still
uncertain concerning tho fato or tho
overdue vessel. Since the Allco Cooko
left Port Gamble there havo been soma
heavy seas between tho Islands and
tbo coast, and each day tho fear that
she has been lost grows stronger with
Uioso awaiting her return.
All nopo of the safety or tho vessol
Is not gone, however, for on a provtous
occasion a schooner was out 53 days
in making the same trip, and came In
to port qulto free from Injury.
The schooner seen by tbo Sbcrman
was flying no signals of distress and
with one complete mast Is trying to
make headway. Sho Is expected to
arrive here soon. Her name could not
be discovered by tho transport.
