The American Power k Water Company, vrho handle the ilorton Compound Uotary Pump, have just ordered a pump of such capacity and expect it to be delivered in Honolulu within four months. If the pump will come up to the guaran tees and specifications it will be placed on the Ewa plantation. These pumps were patented only in January last and are new in all their features. It is a direct netiug force pump, with rotary motion, doing away with the thrust and the large amount of metal friction. It is claimed that it saesinfuel and eiliciency The Ewa pump will be driven by a compound condensing engine by rope transmission. This pump will have the largest capacity of any in the islands by many inUlion'gnllons and is in line with modern plantation equipment. WATCHES Cleaned and , Repaired.

COST OF SUGAR BAGS A2T INCENTIVE TO MANUFACTURING. Rumor That the Great Oakland. California, Jute Machinery 2Iay Ba Moved Over Here. Hawaii now expends nearlyhalf' a million dollars annually for jute bags, all of which ought to be manufactured here. The Republican is pleased to be able to say that the foundation has been laid for the establishment of works for the manufacture of sugar sacks, cordage and other products from fiber. The firm to carry out this work is the Hawaiian Fiber Company, Limited, which has a 3000-acre farm two miles west of the Ewa plantation, near Pearl City. The officers of this company are. Cecil president; M. P. Robinson, vice-president; W. C. Weedon, secretary and treasurer, and W G. Ashley auditor. B. F. Dilling ham and other" prominent business men, as well as the Ewa plantation. are largely interested in the company, which is experimenting with sisal, a fibrous rilant well adapted to this climate and barren and unproductive lands of the Islands. The Hawaiian Fiber Company platted 1000 of its 3000 acres which it secured from the railroad company. Six hun dred acres are fenced in with a stone wall tniilt from stone taken from the land. Three hundred and two acres are cleared; S0.00O plants, or 215 acres, hae been planted, and a manager's house ,md comfortable quarters for the laboreis have been built, A'well has been sank and a good slipply of water has been obtained. The work of clearing g;ound, laying out walks and erecting permanent stone fences is being pushed. The farm, or plantation, is callrd "Sisal Fann.'after the name of the plant. Sital belongs to the aloes, family. It is a de ert plant and can be raised profitably on rough, rocKy, coral flats, where a plow cannot be used land un-suited and worthless for sugar growing or anything else. It can be grown without irrigation, although the fionds of the plant, from which the cordage is made, might be larger and plumber if the plants were irrigated. During the late dry and hot weather the 215 acres set to the plants1' have grown surprisingly well. Scarcely a plant was lost. It takes from two and a half to three yeais for the plants to mature ff3m the siukers. Fromplants two and a half yfrs old sisal fiber four feet in length has been obtained.. The fiber was made by hand, and specimens of it were s?nt to experts, on the mainland, who r.onounccd it unexcelled in by any sisal fiber grown elsewhere. ijisai is different from Manila hemp. It is superior to hemp for marine or naval cordage. Two years ago prepared liber brought in the market from 3 to 334 cents: now it fetches from C?4 to 4 cents a pound. The cutting of plants after they reach their growth occurs twice a year. When tlie lower fronds obtain a horizontal position they- are ready for cutting. From sixteen to thirty fronds are taken from each plant The process of poling continues for fia to seven years. Each frond makes a separate fiber. After the fronds are cut the pulp is extracted and the fiber is washed and baled for the market. Here plants are set from nine to eleven feet apart. In Bermuda they, are set much closer. The"fronds of the plants must not touch each other. There is a hard, horn spike, sharp as a needle, on the end of each frond, and if tuej come in contact they scar and bruise and materially and injuriously affect the fiber. The company believes that this industry will become one of the most profitable industries of the Islands. Land valueless for any purpose can be utilized in growing sisal; the cost of production is nominal and no irrigation is necessary in its cultivation. There are many thousands of acr.s of land in the group that will grow' sisal and nothing else. The Hawaiian Fiber Company has nov, reached a better than the experimental stage. The ability to grow sisal has been fully demonstrated, and the company is now considering the advisability of erecting a plant for the manufacture of the fiber. Persons who have given the subject study" predict great things from this industry. The Hawaiian Agricultural Department has also experimented withslsal and other fibers. "Sisal grows readily in almost any said Wray Taylor. Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, yesterday. "Some time ago we stuck some roots In the ground on tho slope of Punchbowl, and they grew finely. Sisal comes from the Bahamas and will grow here on any old worthless lands." Mr. Taylor said the department had also received jute seed, which it would be pleased to give to anyone Interested in growing that pianu -Also seea oi me cuwptM. On the Island of Hawaii the fiber sacseviera has been successfully with, and there is said to be a nattve fiber plant on that Island which promises to be valuable. A local company is said to have a year's bond on the magnificent plant of the Oakland (California) Jute Company, which has been shut down for three or four years. The Idea is to transfer the machinery to Hawaii and adapt it to the manufacture of bagging, cordage and so on from local fiber plants. The Importance of this industry is shown by the fact that the sugar industry alone consumes 400.600 bags at d cast of not less than J3S4.000. It is estimated that the crop for this year will reach 200.6Ce tons, requiring sixteen bags to a ton. at a cost or S cents a bag. The Eand Today.

Answer to the 2iurrays Petition History of Case. Tdr. and 5Lrs. Thomas Murray are desirous of adoptiug the children. The Srst paper filed by the Hurrays was a petition to set aside the adoption t papers of Kuehu, declaring ' kane, Moolau's father, didn't occupy j that relation, but ouelvealiai, washer her putative parent. The Murrays tried to prove this iu Court, lloolan's mother, being dead. couldn t very well testify on thesubject, and bciuc outside the jurisdictin of the Court couldn't very well be reaeed by a commission to take her deposition. The case was throwtn out of court. The Murrays then asked that they be given adoption papers, and De Bolt was heard from on demurrer. The case of little MalakaMoolau and her future home is still occupying the 'attention of court officers. J.
