Os speaking of the fruit situation
said he was confident that the growers
of this state would have one OF the oesl
years in the history OF horticulture
THE eastern fruit crop Is in some
parts of the country seriously injured
he observed, "and in some parts 1t has
been entirely destroyed. which means
that fruit from California will be In
great demand OF one thing we are
positive. There will be q shortage OF
peaches in the east and those from
California will be worth money Juos-
ing from what I know of the slruation'
fruit this year will be sent TO the east
ern market which in previous years
would have been considered culls- You
can state positively that the orange
growers never had so good season
They were, at first. loud in their COM

this shortage instead of doing them an
injury actually rebounded to their IN

shipped east were sold at s4.25 q oox-

ton that California Is only In her IN
fancy in fruit raising There Is no
such thing in this state as an entire
failure of a crop. as there Is In east'
from intense cold. and when man
raises good fruit he can be CONFIDENT
that it will bring good prices
THE market every year is widening.
There was a time when it was said
r,y
oranges and would not be able to mar
ket them How false was this prophecy
has been proved by what was done this
season when oranges were sold ror
s4.25 a box. In spite of all that has
been said, the citrus crop this year
was never better handled. and the
growers never made more money, and
the richest thing is that the railroads
reduced the rate on oranges to help
the growers out because the season was
late I am told that the fruit prospects
in the state are by no means so bad as
they are painted and that there will be
a fair crop. I notice that the growers
along the Sacramento river expect TO
do a good business, and the ST Francis

japanese Compete in
Pottery Industry
rASHINGTON. May 13.-Consul
! General Robert ]. wynne OF
London has transmitted a print

a
ed report issued by the tariff
into the present unsatisfactory condi-
tion of the British pottery industry. OF
which the following Is an abstract:
The output of British pottery IL es-
timated at s2s.766.ooo. of which $1o.s5o.-
600 worth is exported, and the balance,
$15,s16.0oo. being consumed In the
United Kingdom While the worlds
use of pottery has undergone great ex-
tension in recent years. the British In
dustry has not only failed to expand
accordingly, but has failed to keep pace
with the home demand. While the in
dustry has undergone no practical
change. the exports of British pottery
clays have more than quadrupled in 80
years.
While the exports of British pottery
have remained practically stationary
for the last 25 years, the German ex-
ports have risen from $14,595,000 to
$24,333.000 during the last eight years.
French and Austrian exports have rfs-
en- during the last 10 years, from $5,-
100000 to $7,500,000 and from $3.260.000
to $6,14O,000, respectively.
THE United States still continues to
be the chief market for British pottery,
although the decline In the exports
lACA GU oAICC tii0 kAAROSAtiOA Va bAO M
Kinley and Dingley tariffs has amount
ed to 40 per cent. while German exports
to the United States have increased $50
per cent in the last six years and now
exceed $7,300.000, against British ex--
ports OF about $2.500.000. The British
industry expects that under their tariff
protection American manufacturers will
soon be able to supply their entire
home demand. British colonial mar
kets now rank next in Importance to
the United States. Canada and South
Africa, wherein British goods have
preference tariffs, show large increases
in the consumption OF British pottery,
while Australia. wherein there Is no
preference, shows a heavy decline.
Foreign tariffs are indicated as a
prime cause OF the establishment Of
British pottery firms in the United
States and Germany and the emigra-
ton of British skilled labor to those
countries
Great stress is laid in the evidence
as to the consequences Of increasing
Japanese competition, in view of the
abnormally low wage basis prevailing
in that country. In some classes jap
anese potters work for cents a day.
Japan now sends half her pottery ex-
ports to the United States and there
have been substantial increases In its
exports to Canada and Australasia"

CALL ON FREAR
OFFICERS PAY AN OFFICIAL WIS.,
1T TO NEW EXECUTIVE SATUR-
DAY AFTERNOON.

Officers of the National Guard of Ha
waii to the number of sixteen, paid
an official call upon the Governor on
Saturday afternoon. The call was
made between 1870 and o'clock for
the reason that this time was the most
convenient to a number of the officers
whose business takes up most of their
time until Saturday noon.
The call was made in full dress
uniforms, and was purely a formal at
fair. Adjutant General j. w. Jones
was spokesman for the militia and
made pleasing short address to which
Governor Frear responded with some
highly complimentary remarks con-
corning National Guardsmen.

DEDICATED A
SHINTO TEMPLE
LOCAL JAPANESE DEDICATE A
SHRINE OF THEIR OWN IN HO-
NOLULU.

Sunday was a day of more than UNI
usual Importance among the local Jap
anese from the fact that Shinto
shrine or temple was dedicated in the
afternoon with elaborate ceremonies,
and is the first of the kind ever estab-
lished in the Territory.
The shrine is located in an open lot
short distance Ewa-mauka of the
intersection of King and Beretania
streets. It is small, not being over
forty feet square, but is characteristic
cally Japanese throughout, with the
heavy roof timbers and widely pro
jecting caves. 1t is artistically put to-
gether, while at the same time it pre-
sents a severely plain appearance, the
woodwork being in natural condition
without paint or coating of any kind.
The shrine has been completed for
several months, but It has been only
within the past week or so that there
has been in the Territory priest OF
sufficiently high rank to perform the
services of dedication. The exercises
began yesterday morning about 1920
o clock and were not concluded until
late last evening. The grounds sur
rounding the temple which have been
converted into a veritable Japanese
garden, were thronged with hundreds
of Japanese, and were decorated in
most gorgeous manner with flags and
lanterns and bunting.
rhe actual dedicatory performance
was repeated a number Of times dur"
ing the day and evening and was ex-
ceedingly interesting. Besides the high
priest were a number of other priests
and many assistants. A procession
would start from the priests house in
the rear of the shrine and with elab-
crate ceremony, such as having the
ground swept with brooms before il.
would file to the shrine, where afcer
various preliminaries the devotees
with barred feet and heads would see
a series of curtains drawn back and
finally the principle of the shrine itself
exposed. This appeared to be a chry-
santhemum shaped mirror in an elab-
crate frame or case.
A group of little girls in very grace
full style, with faces whitened with
rice powder with the exception of two
black spots on the forehead, danced
before the alter The dress of all the
attendants was of most elaborate and
brilliant pattern, that Of the high
priest excelling all the rest in this
respect.
The great crowd was furnished with
sake and other refreshments, and af-
ter each performance of the dedication
would toss money into a large chest.
