c. A. SPRECKELS' VIEWS
ON PHILIPPINE SUGARS

G. A. spreckels, president of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company of New
York, fails to see the reason for Ha-
waiian opposition to lowering of the
duty on Philippine sugar imports. In
letter to the Hawaii Herald, under
date of September 8, he says:
81 see by copy of the Herald that
you are opposed to the admission, free
of duty, of any Philippine Island
sugars, as proposed by Mr.. Taft Gas
also any tariff reduction ON sugar., on
the ground that it may seriously affect
the Hawaiian planters.
.sCuriously enough, precisely the
same argument was used by the Louis
lana planters and the domestic beet
people, in opposing the annexation of
Hawaii; Hawaii was annexed, and yet
see how they have all prospered.
lin this case, the Philippine Islands
are already United States territory,
and are certainly, in all fairness, en-
titled to the free admission Of part,
If not all, Of their sugars.

FIFTEEN TO TWENTY ACRES
OF LAVA NOW IN MOTION

Volcano House, September 80, 1908.
Editor Advertiser: My first visit to
the volcano was in 1868, a short time
after the activities of that year, so
that I did not then see the crater at
its best and do not know how large
an area was in activity during that
eruption. / have visited the volcano
at intervals since 1858, and can say
that in my own experience, I have
never seen so large an area of molten
lava in motion as at present.
With James Castle and Mr. Wester-
welt have visited the crater, viewing
it both by day and night. l will not
attempt to describe it for should only
repeat what has already so fully APP
peared in print, and any description
would fall short of the mark if the in
tention were to convey an idea of
Pele s grandeur to people who had new
er seen for themselves.
1t came over me very strongly while
on the edge of Halemaumau, that could
Honolulu people, in general, form any
idea of what the exhibition really is,
there would be many more who would
avail themselves of the opportunity
which the present activity affords. OF
course no one can tell Just when the
lake will rise or fall; when it will be
awake or asleep. The best way is to
Just pack up and go, taking chances
for better or worse, and not depending
too much on reports of activity.
The area of the present portion of
Halemaumau, in actual motion, is vari-
ously estimated at from fifteen to TWEEN
ty acres in extent. 1 doubt, however,
if this means much to the majority of
people, as the majority are not accus-
toned to dealing in areas. Let us then
take, for illustration, some well known
tract, such as Thomas Square, which is
familiar to the public, and contains 1
should say on guess, somewhere be-
tween six and seven acres, therefore it
can probably be truthfully said that
there is at present writing space from
two and a half to three times the size
of Thomas Square that is one molten
mass, which in its different parts is
either boiling, spouting or flowing.

tons of sugar per annum, of which more
than one-balf is imported from foreign
countries, SO 1T is pretty hard to see
how the free admission of limited
amount of sugars from the Philippine
Islands can interfere with the prosh
perity of Hawaii
Hawaii now sells its sugar to a
trust, under contract, at one-quarteI
of cent per pound less than Cuban
sugars, which are admitted into the,
United States under a preferential
tariff of 1.35 per pound, which means
an actual protection to them of only
Ito per pound, and yet see the won
derful prosperity of Hawaii. It is hard
to understand, under these circum-
stances, why Hawaii should be opposed
to reduction of tariff, and IL would
seem their only. interest in retaining
the high rate of 1853 is for the sole
purpose of dividing part of this pro
lection with trust, with whom they
have contracted for their product on a
basis of only one cent protection.
"Yours very truly,
&C. A. SPRECKELS."

Before taking his departure for MI "A

president of the Hawaii MahoaNEI
Lumber Company, told the Tribunes
resentative that he had every faitfSjll

of over a month IS duration has cfN,I
WINGED him more than ever that Htal
is entering upon a new and prolongd%
lease of active life. The construction
OF the breakwater, the opening up oil
fresh areas of land for cane-planting
and other forms of agriculture, with
the development of the numbering in
dustry, will give a great. impetus to
production, shipping, and trade gener-
ally; and within few years matters
in Hilo will be much brighter than
they are at present.
Now that the big mill for making
ohia ties is working all right, the COM
pany will turn it's immediate attention
to the development of the valuable
koa mahogany timber. 1t has been
resolved to build the company's rail-
road line right up to the volcano, to
bring down the koa lumber, and mo
time will be lost in getting the mill
to work on this. A point that is of
interest to the public is that there is a
likelihood of the company's line being
made available for the carriage 9f
goods and passengers. Nothing haEa
of course, yet been settled in this n
gard, but it is considered likely the
the Hilo Railroad Company will arr
range to secure running rights over the
mahogany company's line, so that Hilo
| and the volcano will be brought into
immediate touch by rail.
This is contingent upon the extern
sion being on the same gauge as the
Hilo company track; if narrow gauge
is adopted, transfer would have to be
made to the mahogany company's
cars. \
The mahogany company IS office in

Two Farmers Meet at sale and
battls EnsasS-OId Trouble.

J H. (Cud) Potter and Sylyes-
ter Scott had a little difficulty
Tuesday, and as a result Scott is
at Drs. Hornback & Petty's san
itarium in Nevada suffering from
a bullet wound in his neck says
the Metz Times.
The trouble occurred at the
John Kleen sale that was held On
the Dewitt farm, near Rhinehart.
The two had had trouble before
and when they met it seem that
there we're preliminaries. As
told by parties who attended the
sale, the two men met at a gate
leading TO the place when Pott er
attacked Scott and a fistic en-
sued. FINAL Potter drew a re-
and fired two shots at Scott.
One shot grazed Scott's right
shoulder and the other struck
him in the mouth and lodged in
his neck.
After the shooting Potter went
home, while Scott was taken to
Richards where a physician advis
ed that be be taken to n eyada for
The officers learned nothing
OF the trouble until late Tuesday
night. 1t is said that Potter
went to Nevada and after settling
some business affairs drew his
money from the bank add made
his departure for some other
locality.
The latest reports from Neva-
da are that SCOTS wound is
dangerous and his chance for
recovery are doubtful, 1t was
impossible to remove the bullet.
The two men had some trouble
last fall over the possession of
place and Potter had Scott ar
rested for drawing a gun on him.
The case was dismissed later by
the prosecuting attorney.
