though there was an opening for the
manufacture of sake that is very prom
Using. Whether the Honolulu Brewery
will engage in the manufacture until
after it is definitely determined by the
Supreme Court whether or not it is to
be considered beer or wine, is not
known yet. At present all legal and
revenue arrangements are made and
the facilities are on hand. 1t is sim
ply a question of whether the company
wants to engage in the business with
the possibility that a decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
within a year or so might prevent
their continuing it.
THE SUGAR CROP.
Up to the end of June the Sugar
Factors Company had shipped 301,64l
tons of this year S crop to market. OF
this amount, 256,384 tons had reached
market, leaving 1927 tons afoat at
the beginning of this month.
As the Sugar Factors Company still
have about 10000 tons to ship, which
it is expected will all be on the way
by October i, it seems probable that
even the revised estimates of the
year s crop will be exceeded. Rough
~. the Sugar Factors Company ships
about eighty per cent of the Island
crop to market, which would bring the
entire Island crop up to not far from
100000 tons.
THE GOVERNOR LAND POLICY.
The new special agreement of sale
of public lands which Governor Frear
has just approved was made public
during the week. Under it probably
the bulk of the public land offered for
settlement will be disposed of. The
avowed object of it is to further the
small farm idea and aid in building I ?
in this Territory a strong and wide
spread American element that will hold
the Islands to American institutions
and Western civilization. Primarily it
is hoped this new agreement will do
two things-make it easier for the
bona fide settler to get land and hard
er for the mere Spectator to get it.
To bring this about the conditions OF
building, fencing, cultivation and pay
ment for the land in the earlier part
of the period are easier, and no title
can be acquired short of ten years,
which it is thought will be a long time
for speculator to wait.
MERCHANDISE AND OTHER Ii
CENSES.
All licenses, both Territorial, liquor
and Federal, are renewable July l. So
far as the liquor licenses are concern
ed, they have all been settled in the
several counties before this. But the
Federal and Territorial licenses are
now being renewed and paid. Of about
1920 900 in Territorial licenses collect
ed each year, over $32, 900 has SO far
been collected. About the same pro-
portion of the Federal licenses have
been collected.

plans for a Chamber of Commerce
building which have been very much
admired.
MISCELLANEOUS
The arrival Of the Keio and tho
Santa Clara baseball teams during the
week has added considerably to the
festive activity of the town.
An address before the Commercial
Club by DR.. Wilcox of the Agrieul-

eddy called attention to the question
of food supply if the Islands by war

NICK PETERSON STILL MISSING.

The matter of locating Nick Peter
son in order TO serve a bench warrant
on him seems to be something for the
future At least, the police have not
been able to find him for the past three
DAYS, ever since he forfeited bail in
the police court on a charge of drunk
enness and the magistrate refused to
cancel his trial. Once before, when on
a spree. Peterson attempted suicide,
but it is not thought that he has gone
to any such an extreme this time.

Honolulu Brewing and Mailing is now
selling at par. The regular monthly
dividend continues to be paid. The
brewery has completed all arrange
ments to engage in the manufacture of
sake. As the importation of sake is
indirectly but effectually prohibited by
the pure food law, and as the con-
sumption of sake in these Islands has
been very large and very steady for
number of years, it would seem as

SALE OF KEKAHA STOCK.

Harry Armitage during the week
sold at private sale quite a large block
of Kekaha stock at $40. This is an
unlisted stock. The plantation is on
Kauai and has recently completed n
new ditch at an expense of several
hundred thousand dollars, though the
lease of the land has only compare
lively short time to run. There seems
no doubt. however, but that the ex-
pense of this new water supply will be
fully justified
