HAWAII STOCKS
SHOW UP WELL
SAN FRANCISCO FINANCIAL PA
PER SHOWS VERY SATISFAC-
TORY CONDITIONS HERE.

The San Francisco Recorder of Sep
tember 3 has the following:
Local holders of shares in the sugar
companies of the Hawaiian Islands are
elated over the generally satisfactory
condition of the sugar industry there.
1t is stated that the Hawaiian Sugar
Company, which reduced it's dividends
about year ago from one and a half
per cent month ago to one per cent
a month, will shortly restore the divi-
dend to the old figure.
The Paauhau Sugar Plantation Com
pany, a California corporation, is to es-
tablish an Office in Honolulu for the
transfer in considerably here, but as
certificates of stock have to be sent to
San Francisco to be transferred on
the books of the company, transactions
are considerably hampered. 1t is be-
ilieved that if the stock can be trans
Iferred here, transactions in the stock
will be made much easer and will be
increased. The stock of the company
pays a dividend of Is cents a month
and has for a long time

change has lately held its annual meet

shows a slight falling off in the amount

shares of stock of various kinds sold
for $2,213,6 29 80, as compared with IS

SIXTEEN MEN
IN GOLF CONTEST
FINAL ROUND AT THE COUNTRY
Club SUNDAY FOR ISLAND
CHAMPIONSHIP.

Every golfer here is looking forward
to the final round on Sunday for the
championship Of the islands. Sixteen
men will play off for the honor, and
the coming champion seems to be a
matter Of a great deal of speculation
Hartwell is one of the steadiest play
ers in the islands and his friends are
looking forward to seeing him gain
the coveted title. If ne keeps up to
his usual form he ought to win. High,
Armstrong Anderson, Walker the two
Whites, father and son, are all dan
gerous men at the game, and it will
be a fight from the time the first ball
is driven until the last hole is made,
The playing will start promptly ar
ten o'clock and again at two.
A large gallery will 10 doubt follow
the players and the chances for the re-
cord being broken are very good, as
all the entrants are doing some good
hard work and will be ready for a bat
tie royal next Sunday.

AUCKLAND LOSES
HIS LOCAL STAFF
TWO MEN WHO WERE RUNNING
TRANS-PACIFIC TRADE SUDDEN
LY SKIP OUT.

Harry Tomlins and W. II. Pittenger
took French leave in the S. s. Hilonian
yesterday, getting a friend to buy their
tickets in the steerage at the last
moment and asking that their names
be kept from the passenger list They
were connected with G. r .Buckland's
Trans-Pacific Trade, a weekly journal
issued in this city while Bucklanu
edits the Hilo Herald. 1t is suspected
that the business affairs of the weekly
journal are involved in the sudden geJ-
ting-out of Tomlins and Pittenger.
Tomlins and Pittenger took good
care to hide away below deck aboard
the Hilonian over an hour before she
sailed; the only inference is that they
did not wish to be seen.
A. N. Campbell has been acting as
treasurer of the Trans-Pacific Trade
and he says that the money for SUD-
scriptions and advertisements had not
been turned in as it should recently
and he had intended to write auckland
about it. The departure of the young
men was as much of surprise 10
Campbell as it was to auckland.
Tomlins came here to teach in Iolani
College, leaving that position to re-
port on The Star. Pittenger was for
a time advertising solicitor for me
Star. Both had been talking about
leaving Honolulu, but it was presumed
that they would leave in the ordinary
manner.

INFANTRYMEN
WOULD. PLAY SAINTS
A CHALLENGE COMES FROM THE
TRANSPORT THOMAS FOR A
BALL GAME HERE.

1t seems that the Saints are very
popular in the baseball world, as an
other team are anxious to play game
with them. This time is in the team
from the 18th Infantry, who are COM
ing here on the Thomas some time the
early part of next mon.n. With the
coming trip of the Saints to the land
of the Rising Sun, and the different
games between the feet teams, and the
coming coast team, Honolulu will see
baseball for some time to come. The
following letter was received from 1t.

dressed to the Athletic Officer of Fort

BARNEY JOY
GOES TO BOSTON
THE HONOLULU BASEBALL STAR
is DRAFTED FOR THE BEAN
CITY NINE.

Barney joys days on the Coast team
are few, as the big Eastern teams have
been looking for him, and the result
has been that he will play next season
with the Boston National team. Long
is very sorry now that he did not sell
Barney when he had the chance, but
he never thought that he would be
drafted, but the National Commission
awarded the big Barney to the Bos-
tons and now he will have chance to
show the bean eaters that man from
Honolulu can play the National game
and that our little town is not in Port
au Prince as one man thought whC
wrote here recently.

SAN FRANCISCO, September A
Fillmore street is in deep mourning,
Mike Fisher disposed of his punk shop
to a young business man yesterday AT
ter banking a million loues the King
looked around for a buyer so that he
might enjoy the life Of a retired mer-
chant. Selling weeds of various fla
vors, peddling hot air and sopping up
the fluid that sparkles became too
strenuous for even the heavyweight
manager, and, like Jim Jeffries, Teddy
Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie, Mike
said to himself: ME for retirement.
This life is killing me-" Fisher refus-
ed to talk about his future last night.
Think of that, Fisher really refused to
talk. Sounds like an Arabian tale, but
a fact nevertheless. There is a bare
chance of Mike touring Europe and
hobnobbing with the crown head S,
who have expressed a desire of meet
ing the champion ball thrOwer Of Rue
de Fillmore. Mike will take this trip
under advisement However, there will
be nothing stirring in Europe until he
has visited the Hawaiian Islands with
his alI-star aggregation, which will be
in November The ball tossers and
their followers will miss Fisher, for
his dump was their headquarters.
There the players assembled nightly to
fan, play the machine and listen to
Fishers perpetual flow of heated air.
Barney Joy could always be found at
the smallest retail cigar store in the
world" With this in the hands of an
other, JOY, like others, must seek an
other lamp post to hang on. Fisher,

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 31.-President
Roosevelt has no intention of taking
up newspaper career when he finish
es his term. Secretary Loeb denounced
the report that the president was nego-
tiating for the control of the New York
Tribune as a flake, made out of whole
cloth"
mo such plans have been thought
of, - said Loeb. THE president will not
consider such a proposition for a mo.
ment. The very idea of a former pres
ident conducting a newspaper and crit.
icising the acts of his successors is as
undignified as it is preposterous."

FOR HAWAI'S YACHT
JEWELER RIETZ MAKES A FINE
PRESENT FOR THE TERRI
TORY'S CUP DEFENDER.

Mechart Dietz, the Fort street jew
eler, has presented the coming Hawaii
Cup yacht with a very fine chronome-
ter. This is the first gift that has
been made by anyone and it is earn
estly hoped by the Yacht Committee
that the good example set by Dietz will
be followed by others. The plans for
the new yacht that were expected on
the Persia yesterday did not arrive,
and no word was received from the de-
signers about them AS they were not
to be started until the 18th of August,
it is not likely that they will arrive
much before the Korea that is due
on the 30th.

OF the police department will assist
Deputy Sheriff w. P. Jarrett in look
ing after truants from the public
schools. Since the Legislature abol-

Education, is peculiarly fitted for the
systematizing of the work She will

they are rounded up.
