LIFE IN THE ISLANDS
AMERICAN ENERGY IS
TRANSFORMING HAWAII.
F. V. Carter, Formerly of Seattle,
Tells of the IndiiMrles on Hawaiian
GroupWill ExiHTlment With
Wheat Sugar Can Principal Crop
American Cnttlc, Sheep and
Horses In Gootl Dcnumil.
F. W. Carter nrrlved Tuesday morn
ing from Seattle nnd will leave to
night for the coast shortly to leave
for his home In the Hawaiian Islands,
says the Yakima Republic. Mr. Car
ter la In America to secure a shipment
of cattle, sheep and horses which he
will take back to the Islands to place
on his ranch there.
"I am located on what is known as
the Parker ranch there," said Mr.
Carter. "It contains 2760 acres und Is
stocked with 30,000 head of cattle,
2000 horses and 0000 sheep. All of
the stock It used by the people of the
Islands and there Is a good market.
"I went to the Islands from Seattle
In 1804. It Is nn excellent country for
the stock business, but very poor as a
farming country. I have seen whole
acres of potatoes destroyed In a night
by the black blight. It makes the
fields of potatoes look as If a mighty
flame had swept over and blackened
the crop. The country Is very arid.
There It a mountain there 14,000 feet
high without n spring or any sign of
water on II.
"The natives nnd whites meet on an
equal social plane. There It but little
of race prejudice. The only time that
It It evident It at the elections. The
Itlsnds are now divided Into counties
and we are governed by a legislature
and governor appointed by the pres
ident Election times are very hot
over there and the government Is very
good. The preponderance of the bal
lot Is with the nntl'-es, all of whom
- mny vote, being cltl7ns of the United
States,
"There are a large number of lodget
In the Islands and the fraternity spirit
It very active. The Odd Fellowt and
Matonlc lodget there are the oldest
wett of the Rocky mountalna, being
established long before lodget of these
order! were started nn the coast of
thlt country.
"I Ilk the country very much and
find the lift there pleasant and tnjoy
ahlt, but It seems mighty good to get
baek to the ttatet and se. those whom
I kntfw tnd know and fe.l that I am
ttl with 'MUt own people.'
"Sugar It ta. main erop In th. coun
try. In (aat you night say it It the
ta.kboi. erf trad. In ttia Islands. The
nst arovd and modern machinery
la U. world fr making sugar It to be
ftutd ta th. lalaada, I believe the
tkea of manutaaturlnf sugar In
vogue ta.r. it ta. bv la th. world.
The susar Is nil mails from cane, there
being no sugar beets grown.
"The Islands are becoming every
year more and more of a stopping
place for tourists. The volcano Kll
auea Is a great attraction for tourists,
who make it a point to stop off when
gnlng to nnd from the orient.
"I would not advise nny young man
to go to the Islands with the Intention
of going Into the farming business.
The seasons there are very unsettled
and farming Is not a success. When
It rains It rains heavily, but for nine
months nut of the year there Is no
rain nt nil. We are cnrrylng on ex
periments now to determine what are
the crops and the kind of grain best
adapted to the country.
"I will take a small amount of
wheat bark with me and try It and If
It Is successful we will Import a
quantity from the states and grow It
in the Islands. I understand that
macaroni wheat has been a good pro
ducer when sown In the arid lands In
the Moxee. If It will grow there I
should think It would do so In the
Islands. I am told that the wheat
goes 40 bushels to the acre In the
Moxee arid lands."

TRUST GANNDTRULE
SUGAR nEET GROWERS
oept Iho Trust's Dictates They Feed
Effort of the Trust to Force the Price
Down Meets Willi Hitter Opposition
Refore Colorado Growers WHI Ac
cept the Tnist'9 Dictates They Feed
Their Reots to Cnttle.
Unless the suirar trust shows a wil
lingness to be fairer to the farmers of
the slate it may have difficulty In
supplying its factories with raw ma
terial, says tho Denver Post. State
Senator W. A. Drake, a delegate to the
Colorado Sugar Reet Growers' associ
ation, which Is holding Its convention
nt the Chamber of Commerce, says
that he will feed his sugar beets to
his stock unless the sugar trust Is wil
ling to pay at least J6 a ton, flat rate.
"Cattle fed on sugar beets gain
three pounds a day," said Senator
Drake. "When such results can be
obtained, and they cannot be obtained
with nny other food, there Is no use
selling our beets for less than 15 a
ton. We can make at least 15 a ton
on the beets by selling them In beef."
Wiiiuh IleeiH Grown at $1.50 n Ton.
The sugar trust Is working to low.ir
the price of beets to 11.50 a ton. The
trust will save 1120.000 annually If
It tan force tho price of beets 60 cents
lower. This Is the golden egg the
sugar trust Is trying to get possession
of by crying for the maintenance of
the tariff on sugar from Cuba and the
Philippines.
The second and perhaps last day
session of the beet growers of the
state wan a lively one. Most of the
work devolved upon committees. The
committee on nominations and the
committee on "new contracts" were
the busiest.
The nomination committer agreed
to recommend the selection of a mnn
from the northern part of the state
ns president In place of William B.
Kbbert, of Rocky Ford', the acting
president. Tho commute found much
good timber for the office, but It was
snld this morning that It would go to
either Slate Senator W. A. Drake, or
J. S. McClelland, both of Fort Collins.
R. Q. Tenny, of Fort Collins, will In all
probability be elected tecretary of the
permanent organisation.
The "contracts" committee ran
against fame snags. A majority fa
vored a fiat rats of IB a ton for beets,
regardleft or the quantity of augsr In
them. Some of th. committee want
ed more than 16. On. of th diffi
culties met with Is that many of the
farmers In the Arkansas valley have
contracts extending until 19X0, and It
win be impossible to bresk them un
less the sugir faetorlet content.
The contracts call for a parentage
basis in th. payment for th. beet,
ad for taut ratom a flat rat doMld
not at present he ""ade to apply' to'
the crops of those having long con-! J
tracts with the companies. i .
The question of asking the sugar j J
factories to furnish seed at 10 cents .
a pound Instead of at 15 Cents a
pound, as at present, was also taken upj
by the contracts committee. A ma
jority agreed that 10 cents Is enough.
Nothing will cure indigestion that
doesn't digest the food Itself, and give
the stomnch rest. You can't expect
that a weak stomach will regain .Its
strength and get well when It Is com
pelled to do the full work that a
sound stomach should do. You
wouldn't yexpect a sick horse to get

full day's work every day In the week.
