Success in Fiji.
From Our Own Correspondent.
BA, Feb. 14.
WE have had good showers of rain and the various crops are coming on very well. If the rain keeps up there should be a record cane crop. The Java cane the company has been experiment ing with for several years has been very successful and larger areas are being planted with it every year.
Since the final cane pay, a number of Indian owned residences and stores are being built, and quite a large township is springing up below the Ba Hotel. It is a pity that the site was not planned like the township of Namoli in Lautoka, as the place is growing rapidly; and if nothing is done will be just a jumble of houses.
Several new cars have been recently added to our already too large fleet of taxis.
