MILK MILK PRODUCERS MOVE
TO PROTECT THEMSELVES

At a largely attended meeting OF tho
Milk Producers Association held this
morning in the Askew Building, two
new laws which the Legislature will be
asked to enact were thoroughly gone
over and discussed, and viii be lmme-
diately placed in the hands OF the rep
resentative from Brandywine hundred
for transmission to Dover
The first act provides that measures
used for the sale OF milk shall contain
81 75-100 cubic inches TO the quart. in
conformity with the measurements
adopted by the United States Govern
ment. thereby doing away with the
present custom OF selling to the retail
dealers by dry measure.
The second act provides that thu
State regulator Of weights and meas-
ures shall stamp each can used in the
shipment of milk and cream with its
capacity according to the provisions
Of the first act and that for his service
he shall receive a fee OF ten cents for
each can so stamped.
Startlin. indeed. were some OF the
charges made against the retainers at
the meeting this morning. among them
being that the latter. by buying their
supplies by dry measure and selling
them at wet measure made a clear gain
Of more than sixteen quarts 70 each
hundred quarts so purchased, which
was a virtual gift fro mthe producer.
the gain to the retailer in many cases
taking an the profit that should ba
received by tho producer.
II was also alleged that at one tins
the consumers derived some henent'
from this. as when the milk was Dip
ped out some little additional would ba
given. but since the adoption of bottles
this has changed. so that at the pres-
ent time the retailers reap an the benz
ont. Not satisfied with this it Is al
legged that the retailer has taken up
the use OF short bottles somo of them
lbeing two or three ounces short. one
Of the producers stating that he had
seen q certain retailer I'm fifty-seven
short quart bottles from fortr- Qd4iR
can OF milk furnished by him.
II now looks as Ii war had been de-
ciared. and the dairymen are a unit in
their determination 20 stand togethex
lagainst the system OF practical rob-
berry TO which they patiently submit
ted for many years.

GROUNDING OUT.
DIDN'T SEE SHADOW
So Humanity May Now Pre-.

Spring
SNOW AND COLD COMING

To-day. according to popular belieA
that infailibie four-footed weather pre-.
phet. the grounding, emerged from his
place Of hibernation and looked around
for his shadow, the finding Of which
would mean another six weeks nap for
him and an equal period OF wintrg
weather for human beings not blessed
with his gift 3f foresight
Happily howave-, the little snimaA
n he made his annual observation, did
not see his shadowy counterpart and
as result we may expect mild
weather from now on.
Coincident with the day was the an-
nual inniction OF the moss grown ana
bewhiskerod joke OF the butchers and
grocers. who told their customers that
they have the original groundhog IN
captivity and then showed their cred=
ulous victims some sausage meat re-
posing IN a secure cage.
Groundhog day Is also known aa
Candlemas, and In DAYS OF yore poets
cnthueed and wrote many epics IN IT'D

Half our fire and half our hay.

Corn and fruits win then be dear.

RAILROADS LOSE
TONS OF COAL

Coal in wholesale quantities is being
stolen from the local railroad yards and
as long as the cold weather continues the
nightly raids will probably be made on
the cars.
One plan discovered recently revealed
the fact that several oolored men sent to
unload several cars in one yard were TAX
ing money from a number Of Polish wo-
men for the coal they would throw over
the side Of the car to the women gath
ering it. Every night more than ton 8
carried away and the railroad officials are
at their wits end to find some plan where
by they will be able to detect the thieves.

EGG PRICES HIGH
Retail Dealers Buy Stock For Little
and Mulet Patrons.

Housekeepers are justly finding fault
with the present high retail price Of eggs
Notwithstanding the fact that the whole
sale price has fallen considerably during
the past few days. Eggs Of the fresh laid
variety are now bringing IS cents dozen
in the stores, while the dealers buy them
at a wholesale rate OF about "a cents a
dozen. the difference in price causing a
profit on each dozen to be made amount
ing to II cents a dozen, which would seem
to be indeed unreasonable.
It is also stated that although quick to
take advantage Of the low wholesale
prices the storekeepers are always the
last to make a corresponding reduction in
the retail rate.

Brewery in Hongkong
Will Open in a Few
Months.

An Oriental business enterprise in
which Honolulu capital is very large
Iy interested will begin operations
4 within a very short while in Hong
; Kong in the brewing of beer for the
East. The Oriental Brewing Company,
the incorporators of which are all Ho-
nolulu men, is making steady prog
ress with the erection of their build
ings, a brewery of double the ca
pacity of the Honolulu Brewery, and
over hundred thousand dollars
worth of brewing machinery is now
The issued capital stock of this con-
Germ is s25O,OOO, of which 100000 was
subscribed locally. The head offices of
the company are in Honolulu.
The Oriental Brewery is built in
Kowloon. a section of the foreign dis
trict of Hongkong, where the COM
pany has secured five acres of land.
facing the waterfront, and which car
ries with it the guarantee of a plenti-
full supply of water from the munich
pality. Here the brewery is built,
wharves planned and an EGGPLANT pre-
pared for.
1t is in the manufacture of ice that
the company expect to make good side
profits, the price of ice in that port
now being $32 ton. Mex. Asfice can
be sold in Honolulu for 81 ton, and
labor and supplies are cheaper in the
Orient than here, the margin for profit |
appears q reasonably good one.
The differences in prices for supplies
in Hongkong over Honolulu are large
in nearly every line. Hongkong being |
a free port, there are no import duties
to be paid, no internal revenue taxes,
no excise. Hops can be imported for
the brewing from Bohemia, malt from
Canada and rice is to be- had cheaply
from the logcal growers. The demand
for beer throughout the Chinese ports,
Japan, the Dutch East Indies, the
Straits Settlements and British India
is immense, supplied now nearly alto
gether by import. A large share of
this trade is what the Oriental Brew
cry expects to capture.
The officers of the company are A.

dent; Frank Halstead, secretary; Fred.
E. J. Lord and c. G.
Bartlett, directors.

Cuba now consist of fifty-four planta-
lions or farms, aggregating 54.655
acres, equipped with residences, sta
bles and cottages for laborers, etc. OF
the total land comprising the estate,
$500 acres are held in perpetuity,

a purchaser who agrees to pay an
annual amount called "censos,' but
who has the right to take the land
in fee at any time upon payment of
an amount determined by capitalizing
the annual payment, as provided in
the deed. The annual payment in this
case is forty-seven cents per acre.
Fourteen thousand, six hundred acres
are held under time leases expiring at
various dates, at average rentals of
s1.60 per acre per annum. Four thou
