in the export fruit trade corresponding
closely to that filled by bananas and
lemons among imported fruits
Hawaii has a part to play in the fruit
trade of the country at large. This
Territory ought to hold down, in sub
stantial degree. the expenditure OF
mainland money upon foreign bananas
the biggest item as seen above ia the
national fruit bill. It has even started
in to do so. Perhaps if the second
largest item, lemons, is taken up scfen-
tifically here we may also cut it down.
we are already doing well in checking
the outlay of half million dollars on
pineappIes from foreign countries, and
should aim TO make it wholly unneces-
sary for the Pacific Coast to send any
of that money out of the country. II
the experiments in shipping fresh ALI
gator pears to New York prove success
full, Hawaii will be able to reduce one
more item of fruit imports materially
In dried and preserved fruits Hawaii
should not only be able to supply a
goodIy portion of what is consumed on
the mainland. but create an export to
foreign parts in all directions which
would help out the right side of the
national account between imports and
exports of fruit.

SINKING OF RURlK
SOOThES OLD SORE

The sinking Of the Russian cruiser
Rurik. which was caused by the Ka-
nninura squadron On August IA. is not
only regarded by the japanese as
avenging the recent yladivostok ralas,
but also as venting of a 10 years har-
bored hatred. We read in a leading
Toxic journal that it is a lasting re-
gret for the Japanese that Japan
reference by the three Powers ten
years ago. The joint interference was
organized by Russia, and her CHEZ
support was the Pacific squadron, the
flagship of which was the Rurik 4.
was this Rurik that, arrogating the
position of being the strongest ship in
the Orient at the time, made de-
monstration against Japan after the
war with China. If the Russian
celed the honor and object fairly won
and consecrated by the blood of the
patriotic Japanese, its representative
must have certainly been the Rurik
AT that time the japanese had already
made I'D their mind to have this AFRO
CANT ship sunk to- the bottom ahead of
all other vessels at the first opportun-
ity. Moreover, since the opening of
the present war the Rurik has offered
gross violence to apanese steamers,
distinguishing herself in that way a.
rnong the Vladivostok fleet Now that
this ship, however, has been sunk, the
heavy debt accumulated against her
