HONOLULU MILLS ARE
GRINDING IN F0RMOSA

Z. Z. Hartman, the plantation chem
ist expert, who was formerly connect.
ed with island plantations, arrived on
the steamship China yesterday from
Yokohama to remain about three weeks.
Mr.. Hartman has been the representa-
tive of the Honolulu Iron Works for
some time and has looked after the
sugar mills which the Iron Works con
structed in Formosa.
Mr.. Hartman states that the two
mills are now in operation, tie one
at Ako being started up on November
% and the one at Koshiken started up
later. The Ako mill has capacity
of 1900 tons of cane daily and the other
1000 tons. Five mills were constructed
on Formosa about the same time, two
of which were erected by the Honolulu
Iron Works, two by German companies
and one by Scotch firm. All are now
in operation.

are painted as to walls and ceiling with
white paint and unless the cleaning
was done properly it would be imme-

just now there are two companies
in each of the two occupied single-com-
pany barracks and mess rooms and this
sadly overcrowds the men, but the erec-
tion of new buildings is going on rapid
" and within few weeks the barracks
will have in them only the number for
which they were planned. There are
also now in course of construction at
the Fort four more houses for officers
giving fourteen in all. The post com.
mander, Major Dunning, occupies one
of the largest of the houses, but each
of the fourteen is designed very much
| along the line of his. Other buildings
now going up are the various shops

viewpoint of the Kalihi heights, hav'

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies toscod liv-
er oil. Its virtues are not in its
fatty matters A; much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
"plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority Of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being ind gestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among theelements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
and IN this effective remedy,
made palasable as honey, we have
the very heart and soul of pure
Cod Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophes-
phites, Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry These constitute tissue
builder, a blood purifier, a health
renewer beyond comparison. Dis
ease yields to it with complete
ness and rapidity which aston
ishes medical men'quite as much
as it delights their patients. In
all wasting conditions, Scrofula
and Blood Disorders, La Grippe,
Influenza, ETC., it never fails
to relieve and cure. DIR. E. j.
Boyes says: 81 have found it a
preparation of great merit. In

months treatment. in which it
was the principal remedial agent.

COMMUNITY COUll

Washington, December 10, 1908.
Messrs. Castle & Wilmington, Counsel
lors at Law, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear Sirs: We confirm our cable
message stating "Mahuka site final. ,,
This we do upon the verbal authority
of Assistant Secretary Winthrop, who
frankly says that the community op-
position to any change in the site
has been so thoroughly developed and
expressed that the department will not
entertain the subject longer, but will
proceed with the plan of erecting the
public building upon the site origin

AS we wrote you few days ago,
the community action upon this pro-
posed change was so thorough. hearty
and general, that we felt the fight was
wholly won from your end When the
Delegate here so firmly responded to
the public sentiment at home and took
the decided stand that he would oppose
any legislation in Congress seeking to
authorize new site, that, of course,
clinched the matter.
Yours very truly,

Government Manufacture of Ord.
nance Material Approved.

According to Gen. Crozier. chief OF ord
nance Of the army, the cost of certain
ordnance material manufactured by the
government is less than when procured
by contract with private manufacturers.
In support of this assertion he says that
the interest on the value of the plant is
lower for the government because 1t can
borrow money at q lower rate: its fire
loss and depreciation Of plant Is in each
case only that which Is actually incurred

the value Of his plant within a reasonable
period of active business; and finally. the

LEAGUE MAGNETISM
COMPLETE DEADLOCK
Each of Two Sides to Contest
for Presidency More
Bitter Than Ever.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE mag
mates of the National League were APP
parently In q complete deadlock today
when they met again to select presi-
dent Of the organization. and Charles w.
Murphy, president Of the Chicago Ma
tional League club, asserted his readi-
ness to sit all winter. If necessary, to
elect John NJ Ward as the head of the
organization.
New York, Chicago. Philadelphia and
Brooklyn presented today an unbroken
front for the election of Ward, while
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Boston and ST.
Louis were opposing Ward and seeking to
elect Robert w. Brown of Louisville, or
some compromise candidate. AS suggest
ed by Ward yesterday. the magnates will
likely become hopelessly deadlocked and
Mr. Heydler will continue to hold the of
fee Of president while a board of three
regents would probably be appointed to
conduct the affairs Of the league.
The move Of Garry Hermann in bring
ing forward the name Of Mr.. Brown for
president yesterday instead or Mr. Heyd-
Ter was regarded today as an extremely

support of Stanley Robson, who favored
Mr.. Brown Mr.. Hermann Is now In a
position to offer the name of Mr.. Heyd-
Ter as compromise candidate.
Mr.. Hermann said today:
you know as much about the election
as I do. I think 1t a shame that a
good man like Mr.. Heydler should be
thrown out OF a job. or. If he is thrown
out. not taken care of. The present
situation il extremely ridiculous, because
we cannot elect our board Of directors
until after we have elected our presi-
dent
Hermann said he proposed to look
after Mr. Heydler In case he was not
elected.
AS the day wore on prospects OF a
break in the deadlock over the presidency
did not improve Statements of some
OF the magnates made 1t look as II each
OF the two sides to the contest over
the presidency was more bitter than
ever.
Garry Hermann. president Of the Gin
cinnati club declared that an tronclad
agreement had been reached by Browns
supporters not to vote for Ward in any
circumstances.
