Messrs. James d. Dole and ]. F.

ture, have prepared letter in answer
to mainland inquirer who seeks In

In order to make the subject clear to
you. we will at once explain that while
the bulk OF the Hawaiian bananas are
grown on the island of Oahu, and ship
ped through the port OF Honolulu. ap-
parently the greatest opportunity for
development of the business Is on the
larger island OF Hawaii. Bananas are
now being shipped from Hilo to San
Francisco. and also from the port of

however, unlikely that there would be
any difficulty In obtaining transporta-
ton for bananas, once there were large
shipments available.
Parts OF the five largest islands are
adapted to bananas.
II is difficult to say what the average
value OF banana land is. The Terri
torial Government has disposed OF such
land at from 81 to 81 per acre, and
from that up to $40 or $40
Average wages are about rs cents
per day.
Labor employed is chiefly Japanese
and Chinese, the former predominant
ing. These laborers are transient, for
the most part, and consequently the
labor supply is somewhat uncertain.

POLL IS COMING.
Some Figures That Make Major Har-
vey's Friends Glad.

Little definite news is given out at
the Republican headquarters concern
ing the results of the poll which
Chairman Stubs started to take some
time ago. CONGRATULATIONS are given
out as to the Republican majority in
the state, but no definite figures are
given ON different candidates.
There is, of course, no dispute con-
corning RooSevelts plurality IN Kan
sas Roosevelt stands for integrity IN
public officials, and Kansas will give
him a tremendous vote because of
that fact But because some others
on the Republican ticket stand for
corruption and incompetency in pub
lie officials, they will not get the vote
that Roosevelt will, so some of the
leaders admit, but not for pubIca-
ton
formation only as to Roosevelt and
Parker, Hoch and Dale, and the So
ciaIist and Prohibition vote. The can
didates on whom the fight is conferred
are not mentioned
one poll in a First district precinct
shows that there are 1872 Republicans,
SO fusionists, one Prohibitionist and
four doubtful in the precinct. Yet the
poll shows that Roosevelt will receive
14e votes, for IT fusionists will vote
for him.
This poll was made on one of
Chairman Stubs poll sheets by the
ReDu blican committeeman LOT the
precinct, but the Hoch and Dale
columns were changed to Curtis and
Harvey. 1t showed that Curtis would
receive % votes. Harvey 1856. and
there would be 81 doubtful. The man
who made this poll said that Harvey
would probably receive most of the
doubtful voters, but they would not
express themselves. The names We're
ali given in this poll on one of Chair
man Stubs poll sheets. and each
man was specified
In another precinct the poll showed
- for Curtis and 131 for Harvey. The
figures on the national ticket were not
given
The figures in the precinct given
showed that II out of So fusionists
would vote for Roosevelt, which is 25
per cent of them.
The friends of Major Harvey now
assert that he will carry every county
in the First district except Shawnee.
If is even asserted that he will defeat
CONGRESSMAN Curtis in Jefferson
county. The anti-Curtis Republicans,
If is claimed, have the names of over
200 Republicans in Jefferson county
who will scratch Curtis and vote for
Harvey. This would make a differ
ence of 500 in the majority Two
wears ago Mr.. Curtis carried Jefferson
nv 595.

HIGHEST PRICES OF THE YEAR
Attained in the Pig Iron Market
During Past Week.

Cleveland, Oct. 20.-The Iron Trade
Review this week says:
The increased activity in the iron
market that set in with October has
has seen the highest prices of the year.
Consumption has been overlapping
production for several weeks and while
meters of pig iron bought in the mar
ket particularly foundries, find no
marked increase of orders, they are
steadily melting more iron than in the
summer months. The statistics 1ndi-
cate that pig iron output on october 1
was at a rate of about 16, 100000 tons
a year, while in March, April and May
the spring "freshet' carried it UP to
rate of IS million tons. Pig iron
production is now on its second upturn
for the year and the extent OF the
movement depends on several factors.
One is the uncertainty of the coal
strike in the south Another factor is
the amount of idle capacity that Will
come in as prices rise. The advance
has not been enough yet for the blow
ing in of furnaces that have been wait
ing for a real profit But the 1mpor-
tant fact is that merchant stocks OF
pig iron were reduced $4,000 tons last
month, with coke and anthracite pro-
duction $4,000 tons more than in
It would seem that too much has
southern iron to $1,000 for No. 2 foun-
dry and to 81 by some producers.
with little or no iron selling at these
prices they are scarcely more signln-
cant than was the $12 price named In
early 1902 by oversold producers who
had no iron to sell at any price. North
ern foundry irons have advanced,
however, in the past week on actual
sales, and the minimum for No
foundry is now $12 at central western
furnaces, while sales have been mace
at $12.25-an advance of rs to SO cents
in a fortnight. Bessemer iron has sold
at $12.25 at furnace and $3.50 is now
asked.
The street rail situation is a waiting
one. Manufacturers cite the well
maintained freight rates or the car
riers as an important element In the
problem of rail prices for next year;
while s24 is commonly discussed
price. conditions in the next few weeks
NAV fix $26 or even $2S as the basis.
While rail requirements for the next
year are expected to be considerable
beyond the buying for 1904, standard
sections are inactive today, though
light rail business is good
