pINEAPPLES
AND LABOR

HILO, Oct 24.-The Tribune says
editorially:
THE McBryde plantation is said to
be promoting a pineapple cannery and
encouraging pineapple growing on
Kauai and, far from believing it will
injure the sugar industry, expect it
to be help by making more stable
labor market. The planters of Hilo ap-
parently think there is room for other
industries besides sugar, for they all
have interested themselves in the es-
tablishment of a pineapple cannery
here. Sugar will to all appearances al
ways be the leading industry in the
islands, but there are other minor in
dustries that may thrive and that
thriving can only promote general
prosperity and beneficially affect the
sugar industry along with the rest"
CHARMS OF HAWAII
c. c. Kennedy has received a letter
from Robert Hauxhurst, a former res
ident, in which the writer says: : -
"I was much interested in the Hilo
news-often wish 1 was back therefor
there is no doubt in my mind that for
climate, surroundings (scenery. I
mean), and for general placfdity, Hilo
is very hard to equal and impossible
to beat. By Hilo, I mean the islands
as whole. During the past fourteen
months I have been in the Philippines,
japan. China, Manchuria. Korea, Ma
Law States. Straits Settlements, India
and Ceylon, and must say that in no
respects do any compare favorably with
Hawaii. If L have the chance, or if /
ever accumulate a fortune. you Will see
me back in short order, and back TO
stay"
