HOME RULERS

XII way the other night a wahine spoke
vigorously against the Republicans and
said if the Wilcox ticket was elected
there would be plenty of hulas and
free drinks. She advised her hearers,
in case of electoral success, to all get
drunk and have good time for week.
The lady intimated that the influence
of the gentler sex would be thrown en-
tirely that way.
Wilcox, in a speech down the rail-
road, told his people that, if elected
sheriff, he would suspend all law for
one day and let them drag the haoIes
about the streets. No arrests would be
made while the fun was going on.
Other promises are freedom of lepers
from arrest. employment in office for
all Home Rulers, the non-enforcement
OF the liquor laws, particularly against

GET BLUEFIELDS CUTTINGS
IN SPITE OF TRUST
Jared Smith Notified Of Shipment of Bananas for
Starting New lndustry---Boston Fruit CO. Had
aMonopoly on Steamers and Bananas.

Hawaii. 1t has been represented that
the Boston Fruit Co. not only had a
monopoly on all the Bluefields banana
plantations but also controlled the
steamship lines which carried the fruit
to the coast. The fruit trust also
did not relish the idea of the Hawaiian
growers competing with it in the Amer
lean market and for that reason it
was thought to be almost impossible
to secure cuttings from the region it
controlled. The shipment from Costa
Rica, however, disposes of all diff
culties and an ample supply is now
said to be assured. The cuttings are
furnished without expense further than
the cost of transportation and this ex-
pense will be at a minimum as the
plants are shipped by the War Depart
ment and will come through Depot
Quartermaster Williamson. Whether on
a transport or not is not certain, al
though all federal shipments are made
through the quartermaster's depart
ment
Director Smith stated yesterday that
there would be no general experiment.

receive from Costa Rica. For the first
year or so the attention of the depart

their propagation in order that an am

D,ssilling Ship Iris is Coming.

Word was received at the naval sta

sdistilling and supply ship Iris. She
sailed OCTOBER 5th from Guam for San
Francisco and is to stop at Honolulu.
The Iris ought to reach port either to-
morrow or Sunday.
The Iris has been in the Philippines
since 1899 having made the outward
"trip with the Oregon and Iowa as supply
ship. The Iris has distilling plant
aboard which furnishes water for such
warships as she accompanies. After her
long service she is to lay up at the Mare
Island naval yard for a general over
hauling. Several well known naval Of
hcers are reported to be aboard her.

Jared G. Smith, Special Agent in
charge of the United States Expert
ment station, was notified yesterday of
the shipment of five hundred Bluefields
banana cuttings from Costa Rica. The
cuttings were obtained through the
United States Department of AgricuI-
ture and the news is most welcome as
the last advices were to the effect that
it would be well nigh impossible to get
Bluef1elds because of the opposition of
the so-called fruit trust
The Territorial Board of Agriculture
some time ego authorized the expendi-
ture of $500 by Director Smith for
Bluefelds cuttings, as it was desired
very much to encourage the growing of
that variety of fruit in the islands. The
Bluefields bring a much higher price in
San Francisco than the China banana
which is the variety exported from
Hawaii. 1t has been demonstrated that
the Bluefields will grow here and also
that it is much harder and requires
less care in shipping to the coast.
The cuttings of the shipment of which
Jared G. Smith has been given notice
were procured by the Department of
Agriculture from Costa Rica. Some
doubt was expressed in recent letter
from Washington as to the ability of
the Department to secure cuttings for
