II is fully as important to SO conduct
the enterprise during the first un-
productive years that the total capital
invested when production finally be-
gins shall not be so large as to pre-
clude the possibility of average div

after the. manner OF the native rubber
collectors is of course entirely out of
the question. A plantation manage
ment must evolve methods of gather
ing rubber in such a manner that the
trees will not be destroyed and yet so
that they will produce to the very
maximum OF their capacity. Fungus
diseases and insect pests will undoubt-
eddy appear The question of how much
or how little cultivation is necessary
will have to be worked out In a prac-
teal way. In other words, the Gull
tivation of rubber is an experiment and
until 1t has passed the experimental
stage no one knows to what extent II
will be profitable.
The outlook is good, viewed from
the standpoint of an increasing de-
mand for the product.
Conditions in Hawaii are apparently
| extremely favorable for the cultivation
of the Ceara trees. One OF the newly
formed companies have a1ready plant

planters succeed with rubber as they
have with sugar and put into the

DISMISSED FROM SERVICE.

S. A. Kidston, who was chief officer
of the transport sherman, but recently
detached from that vessel and placed
on the Warren, has been dismissed
from the service. Several complaints
had been made to Major Devol, the
superintendent of the transport SER

his removal. b. German, who was first
assistant engineer of the Sherman, was
also removed from the service.

In the past six months the Pacific
Mail S. S. Company has been advertis-
ing extensively in magazines, entire
back pages being devoted to illustrated
ads. showing the advantages of going to
the Orient from San Francisco via Ho-
nolulu, as against the upper route taken
by Hills liners from Seattle to the
Orient. The Hill line did not like the
advertising because Frank Seaman,
who handled all their advertising, did
the same for the Pacific Mail And

Washington correspondent has taken
cognizance of the matter as follows:
The fact that one of the Japanese en-
yoys to the Washington peace confer
ence, together with the members of his
suite, took passage ON steamship bound
for Seattle instead of coming by way
of the older and longer route to San
Francisco, lends special interest to some
very questionable advertising now be-
ing pun forth by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. Nothing could be
more obvious than that this powerful
San Francisco corporation is alarmed
by the establishment of improved
steamship service on the North Paci-
fic route. and there could be no surer
sign that the San Francisco interests
keenly appreciate the significance of
Seattle competition.

The Pacific Mail has recently pub
1ished in several high-class periodicals

tion to the alleged advantages OF the

WILD AND CULTIVATED
RUBERRS

Practically all the rubber thus far
marketed has been derived from wild
trees. The collection OF rubber by the
native races of all countries has been
extremely destructive, in many in
stances resulting in the determination
of the rubber-producing species over
wide areas. This factor alone has had
much to do with the rapid rise in value
of this article. The discovery OF new
rubber bearing species or of a new for
est in some hitherto UNEMPLOYED region
means the rapid destruction OF this
source of supply. because governmental
control of the native rubber gatherers
is absolutely impossible, and attempts
at restraint or supervision worse than
futile. The native collector wants to
get as much as he can today, so that
he will not have to work tomorrow.
Enormous forest trees, perhaps hun
dreds OF years old, are felled or hacked
and mutilated so that they soon die
and rot, and for his trouble the native
secures on an average hardly one per
cent. of the total amount of rubber

costs him only the labor of gathering

No taxes have been paid on the lands
