The profiles have been forwarded for
two immense, steel bridges for the
Hilo railroad extension along the
north coast of Hawaii, the bridges be-
ing ordered through the Honolulu Iron
Works Company. One of them will
be about 400 feet span and will be 80
feet high, crossing Monolii gulch; the
other, crossing Kapue gulch, about the
same span and some 60 feet high. The
former gulch is between Hilo and Ono
mea and the latter is on Onomea plan
tation.
An order has also gone forward rol
six miles of 7O-pound steel rails ana
accessories, with which to lay the first
sections of the road. An additional
order has been placed for 1000 tons,
or nine miles, of the same to be de-
livered to order in 1910.
This news is the most important IN
connection with the Hilo extension
project since the matter was first plan
ned, as it marks the actual beginning
of work on the bigger parts of tue
undertaking.

The following dividends were
paid this morning: G. Brewer e Co.,

"a per cent; |. l. S. N Co Csc share;
Kahuku 1 per cent; Hawaiian Agri.
Co., l per cent; Haw Pineapple Co,
1 per cent
The payment of dividends today hao
the apparent effect of depressing sew
eral substantially EVA; but in real
ity such has not been the case, mas
much as in the higher figures of the
past few days the dividends appearing
today had been calculated upon. In
reality stocks paying dividends to-
day present a stronger front than
might reasonably have been expected.
On the boards this morning there
was quite a furry in Inter Island. AS
in the case of Eva, the dividend was
gone; but. despite this momentary
drawback, 10, 10, 20 and 80 shares
changed hands at $11O At the close,
$109 was bid and $110 asked, which
looked decidedly healthy.
Six shares of Hawaiian Agricultural
sold for $3.50, and there was consider
able money in sight for the stock at
that figure. Holders, however, de-
manded $182 SO.
Sixty shares of Oahu sold for S32.
This stock also felt the chill of new
ly paid dividend, and $31. ga was the
bid, holders remaining firm at $32.
Between board IS, 20 and Is shares
of Pioneer were sold at $3.50. That
figure was still offered for all stock in
sight, but would-be sellers demanded

shares of Olaa at $4.625. For this
stock 81. so was readily to be had, but
81. rs was demanded.
Hilo railway bonds advanced slight
ly, 81, 900 selling for 500 SO. Bidders
offered SCOTS but $1OO was the mark
set by holders after the first sale
reported.
Twenty shares of Pineapple stock
went for $27 so, holders demanding
$685. 80 this morning.
Honoka showed up a trifle weaker,
there being rumors. of nothing doing
in "the way of dividends until next
year. Offers were made of $40. 1856
but holders waited $19.S75.

NEW Work. suGAR.

The Federal Reporters letter of Au-
gust II New York; to Alexander 4
Baldwin has the following interesting
information on the sugar situation,
"SUGAR.-Our market continues
strong, at previous prices. Retiners
have continued their fight against hign-
er'prices by refusing to consider Offer
ings at the advance asked by sellers.
In the meantime the situation becomes
stronger daily, and should they decide
to enter the market now, there is less
sugar obtainable at the advanced price
than there was a week or ten days ago.
There are only about $4,000 bags to
10000 bags Cuba sugars, for August
OF early September clearance, offered
on the basis of 2 3-4c cost and freight,
or 411c duty paid for SO test Two
more cargoes of early Javas have been
sold to u. K Refiners, one yesterday,
and one today, at the equivalent OF
4 15c duty paid. OF the 100000 tons
Javas shipped previous to August list,
with United States options (Which
means for arrival here before October
1st) there are only $4,000 tons unsold,
and no Javas have been purchased so
far by the American Sugar Refining
Company. Some of these will of course
go to the U. K. Refners, so that it
means that very few Java sugars are
still available for our retiners, for ar
rival before October list. II the Au-
gust shipments from Java are as small
as it is predicted they will be, certain
" the situation here will be very
strong in October. OF the sugar re-
naming in Cuba, there is not over 40
900 tons unsold. Sellers have fully
realized the strength of their position,
but the sharp advance In European
prices, to the parity of 4 .43c duty paid
New York, has given them added con-
fdence There is a cargo of Java SUI
CARS at the Breal1water unsold, which
sellers are not offering at under the

SHIPPING
TRRYEL
COTTON GOODS HIGHER.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger OF
August Is says:
owing to the expected decrease in
the cotton crop this year, and to the
consequent high price of the raw ma
terial, the buyer of manufactured cot
ton goods, such as hosiery, handker-
chiefs and underwear, will have to
pay more for this apparel within a few
weeks, or, as a iobber predicted yes
terday, within at least 80 days.
AT the present time there has been
no increase in either yarns or apparel,
and in view of the fact that some mill
owners have a stock of cheap cottons
which will last them for the next three
or four months, those operators who
are not so fortunate, it is said, will
be forced to shut down next month,
and wait until they can re-enter the
contest on an equal footing with their
competitors

Interesting Discovery In Pompeji,


A discovery of great interest was
made not very long ago at Pompeii.
where the excavation work is being
steadily carried on. Under the ash de-
pOsits there was found an extensive
villa of handsome construction and
ornamented with very fine frescoes.
The villa contains statues and other
works Of sculpture, both Greek and
Roman, besides very rich furniture,
which is well Ornamented, and also
many vases of different kinds. There
were also found Golfers lined with gold
and silver money. In the basement
are great amphorae, which were used
for storage purposes. and in the tricli-
MUM the tables were prepared for a
banquet for thirty persons. An abun-
dance of silverware is one of the fea-
lures of the discovery, and it is said
to be equal in weight and artistic char
acter to the silverware discovered in
the villa Of Boscoreale and now pos
sessed by the Louvre. Some of the
silver pieces seem to have been taken
out at a previous epoch, for there are
traces Of clandestine search, which
was made at a former date.-Scienti6c

From
Pauper's Son to
Governor

~HE illness that struck Govern
or Johnson of Minnesota was
unexpected and came as a
great shock to his many
friends and admirers throughout the
country. Brief dispatches had been
printed from time to time saying that
he might have to undergo an opera
ton, but that the trouble was of a Sc
rious nature was not generally known.
Shortly after he was first elected
chief executive of the state of Mime
sofa a magazine article appeared en-
titled From Pauper's Son to Gov
ernor," and. despite it's startling sig
nif1cance, it was indeed a true epitome
Of the life Of the famous executive.
Handicapped by odds that would have
proved insurmountable obstacles for a
boy or man with less stamina and
direct ambitions, he def1ed scientific
theories Of heredity and literally
fought his way from poverty in a
drunkard's home to the elegantly ap-
pointed executive chamber Of the mar
BILE palace which the people Of Mime
sofa have constructed for a capitol.
Although a Democrat. he was twice
chosen by an overwhelmingly Repub-
lican state to occupy that chamber,
and his second victory was a more
decisive n than his first.
John A. Johnson was born at st. Pc
ter, MIMI. July %, 1861. His parents
were both natives Of Sweden. During
his earliest years his family was des-
perately poor. and his mother had to
take in washing to- keep her boy in
school until he was twelve. At that
age he insisted on leaving his studies
and going to work. He got a job in a
general store which paid him $40 a
month. every cent of which he turned
over to his mother. He toiled early
and late. and at the age Of fourteen he
was earning enough to relieve his
mother from mental toll. Soon after
ward be entered the employ of a rail-
way contractor at a salary Of SIS a
month.
He progressed rapidly. He educated
a brother and sister and bought the
