DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES.
Some time ago Mr. Sedgwick, while connected with the Kamehameha Schools, published an article calling attention to the economic and probable commercial value of the flowers of the glue bushes which cover a great part of our pastures.
We would respectfully ask if any one has taken up the matter, and has gathered or is gathering the flowers with a view of continuing or keeping up the channel of communication thus opened.
Glue bushes, or acacia, are so common and grow so plentifully without cultivation or care that it seems a pity to have so easy a source of revenue neglected. The returns may not be equal to those made by sugar stocks, but the risk is almost nil as the only capital required is a person's fingers to pick the blossom so generously provided by Mother Nature.
The acacia or glue bushes are beginning to bloom now, but wil not be in their full bloom until December and January. We would call the attention of young Hawaiians, particularly girls, or young ladies, to this pleasant and profitable work, which would surely prove a pleasant and profitable means of obtaining money to get many a needed or coveted addition to one's wardrobe.
Glue bushes are very plentiful, and growing plentifully on the road leading to Moanalua, as also in the by-roads of Kalihi.
Widen King Street.
We call the attention of our Superintendent of Public Works to the dangerous condition of that part of lower King street beyond Liliha street, where the contractors of the Honolulu Rapid Transit Company are tearing up the middle of the road and piling up all the dirt and debris on the makai side, leaving only about five or six feet between the tracks of the Hawaiian Tramways Company and tne open ditch of the new electric line. Only a few days ago a lady and her children driving into town narrowly escaped serious injury by running against another carriage, but escaped, luckily, with only a broken wheel to their carriage. Condemnation proceedings should at once be instituted against the Dowsett property for the widening of that part of the only outlet to Palama and Kalihi, where hundreds of people are daily compelled to pass at the risk of life and limb.
Some arrangement amicable to both parties should be immediately atended to by the Executive and lessen the risk that tne public is daily exposed to while the competing road corporations hold forth their monopoly of the public highway. We hope that Mr. Boyd will see that something is done as soon as possible towards that end before the electric cars are in running order and the danger increased two-fold.
Navel Oranges Raised Here.
A few samples of large Washington navel oranges and some Lisbon lemons from four-year-old trees are on exhibition in one of the show windows of the Hawaiian News Co., on Merchant street. They were raised on Mr. Eben Low's ranch on Hawaii at an elevation of a trifle over 2,000 feet and with but little care.
A more systematic planting of citrus fruits by our homesteaders and small farmers in the newly-opened Government tracts, and we will have in a few years enough to supply the local market and a surplus for export.
Our local agricultural bureau should see to it that proper seedlings of commercial value are of easy access to intending farmers instead of wasting time and public money in cultivating useless plants or trees whicn may be found at the Government nurseries.
