cessful jailbreak for the public, but.
as IL Is, no men got their liberty from

attempt was made late yesterday
afternoon, but was not detected until
about O'Clock last night.
In accordance with the routine Of

outside last night to attend to some

To be taking q bath, had by means of
a shovel cut away two of the three
thicknesses of bricks. leaving only
one layer of brick between himself
and liberty. And between the bricks
of this thickness, the wind was
creating a very preceptible draught
The hole was just below window
and had been concealed by a sweater
which had been hung there for the
ostensible purpose of drying, and the
falling of the sweater revealed the
opening to the trusty.

cry of the attempt. Phil Longpre

court for robbery. called the sheriff
and admitted that he had made the
attempt and had done the work

Longpre's. who is awaiting trial on
the same charge. stated that he kept

PINEAPPLE GROWING.
Rapid development Of Production in
Hawaii.
by VIII J. Cooper. ]

10y Will y. OOOpcf-l
HONOLULU, Hawaii, Feb. 4.-The
advertising campaign now being con-
Quoted throughout the United States
by the Hawaiian Pineapple Growers
Association. is the biggest thing in
the way OF advertising that has ever
been undertaken by any organization
in the territory. A fund of $4,000
or $4,000 was raised by the pine
apple men some months ago, and Mr..
James d. Dole, the president of the
Association went to New York where
he made contracts for the expenditure
of this amount or more in general adj
vertising. Mr.. Dole returned home
last week and is enthusiastic over
the success already attained before
he left and the outlook for the flu
ture.
The development OF the pineapple
industry in the islands is one of the
most remarkable things in the his
tory of the group, and from all indi-
cations the business has only we'll
started. Owing to inadequate ship
ping facilities. no attempt is made to
market as fresh fruit more than
very small percentage Of the annual
crop, all of the remainder being
canned Seven years ago there were
but forty acres planted to pines. and
this point had been reached in the
face of many obstacles, and the gen
eral prediction OF failure that the
half dozen California settlers who In
augurated the venture met. At the
present time something over 5000
acres are under cultivation. Six years
ago 5000 cases e dozen cans each) !.
of canned pineapples was the output.
The pack for the year 1908 was near
ly 100000 cases. This was from a
producing area OF scarcely more than
half Of the land planted to the fruit,
so that this years crop bids fair to
be almost double that of last
So rapidly did the business develop
that the Pacific coast which had been
relied upon to consume the product,
became unable to do so, and necessi-
ty for more widely introducing the
fruit finally resulted in the organiza-
ton of the various growers into a
marketing association, the wisdom
of which move has already been am
ply demonstrated. With the Hawaii
an pineapple once well introduced to
the mainland consumers there is no
fear of over production for many
years to come.
At the present time there are nine
pineapple Gaming plants in the va
rious islands, including the largest
Exclusively fruit cannery in the world
This one is located in Honolulu and
employs during the packing season
about one thousand hands"
AS a result of the success of the
fruit industry in the territory, the
territorial government is from time
to time opening for settlement tracts
of land suitable for the culture. and
is planning to open considerably
more after congress has made some
alterations in the territory's land
laws which it is deemed will make
them more applicable to American
settlers. A bill embodying these
changes is before Congress at the
present time. and will in all probable
ty be passed
