Especial Correspondence of The Star }
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 10. -
The following letter from pineap-
pie imploring firm is a sample of the
active campaign which is being wag
ed against increasing the duty on the
importation of canned pineapples.
The opposition to an increase, it
will be noted, is based upon the fear
that Hawaii will capture the canned
pineapple trade of the United States.
The letter quoted has been sent to all
members of the Senate.
Dear Senator:
"The Gamers of HaYaiian pineap-
pie, in an appeal for an increased
duty on imported canned pineapple,
claim that the average wage a ten
hour day in Hawaii is 99c They also
claim that the average labor cost in
competing tropical countries, is from
one-fifth to two-thirds that sum.
1--WE have before us a letter from
the foreman of one of the largest
pineapple canneries in Hawaii, who
has also canned pineapple at Nassau,
B. w. L. Kingston, jamaica; Trini-
dad, B. W. l.. and Porto Rico. in
which letter he states that the labor
in Hawaii is the same as in the West
Indies, but that the method of work
ing in Hawaii is far superior, as the
work IS almost entirely accomplish
ed with machinery and they there
fore make better time and do more
packing in less time and with less
cost by making the machinery do the
bulk of the work.
This letter also predicts that II
VIII only be year or two before Ha-
wall will drive every outside packer
out of business.
Mr.. James ID. Dole, in an article
published in the Evening Bulletin In
dustrial Edition, Honolulu, T. H., I'M
der the date of March 25th, shows that
the industry has grown from 465
cases packed in 1895 to $4,000 cases
packed during the year 1908, and esti-
mates the 1909 pack from 100000 to
$50 900 cases.
Can additional protection be de
manded or expected for an industry
that has prospered and grown to such
an extraordinary extent under the
protection of the % per cent ad valo-
rem rate existing at the present
thine?
I'm a previous letter to you, we
have shown that a pineapple cannery
in Porto Rico in which we are finan-
cially interested, has divided profits
averaging so per cent annually for the
past four years, You can therefore
readily see that under the present
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-06-24

present stock issue amounts to 81 $780,
600 which will make the total stock
reach $2,25O,OOO with the new issue.
The increase in the capitalization
OF the company is warranted accord
ing to the statements made by the fact
that the large surplus of the company
The increase in the capitalization
has been invested In three items. Tins
surplus amounted TO nearly 100000
and from this fund the new steamer
Mauna Kea was built, the bishop
wharf was purchased and the new coal
plant of the company was erected. The
Mauna Kea is said to have cost $500, 900
the Bishop wharf cost 100000 and the
coaling plant approximately $4,000.
From this 1t will be seen that the as
sets Of the company have been increas-
ed in about the same amount as the
stock which has been issued.

For the first time in the history OF

Among those who took part in the
informal class exercises were Miss
Florence Towse and Roy Douglas.
Mystic prophecies regarding the future
of the members of the 1909 class we're

Of harmony between the white and

be rightly settled by justice, truth
and righteousness.
THE colored people Of this country
are not clamoring for social equality.

guaranteed them under the constitu-
ton of the United States as American
citizens.

to Africa, from whence our ancestors
came, but we intend to stay right

The bishop further said that the col

to play In bringing about this har-
mony between themselves and the 9TH
er races-that they should not be too
suspicious Of the white people and
condemn all Of them. for II it were
not for some Of the good ones we
would not be able to stay here. He
praised President William n. Taft
and said he was all right and would

In the Police Court.

Maurice Woolwine, a young man
who has been working about town
for a number of months, got into
difficulty MONDAY night in Sempert's
saloon, and was forcibly elected there
from by the proprietor. In the melee
the young man received a blow in
the face and a glass in the front door
was smashed out. Woolwine was
arrested on complaint of Sempert on
a charge of diSorderly conduct, and
was arraigned next morning before
Judge Jaques From the evidence,
the principal part of the disturbance
was occasioned by Sempert's vigorous
action of custer, and the court SO
found, the young man being released.
The complainant was admonished in
very forcible language by both City
Attorney Hattabaugh and Judge ia
queS to conform more strictly in the
future with the letter and spirit of the
law in the conduct of his place.

OPTION ON CLAY FIND.
Batty & Bond Take $l7,OOOOO Shot at
Louis Kauffman's Clay Find.

Messrs. Batty s. Bond have prac-
tically secured an option on the Louis
Kaufman pottery clay find, one and
a half miles northeast of the city, at
S17, 900. From recent analysis of
this clay made at Spokane and later
one made at Washington, ID. c.,
through the influence of Senator Hey
burn at the solicitation of A. +.
Parker, of this city, it is settled be-
yond doubt that this is a valuable pro-
duct, and can be made to mean
much in the shaping of Grangeville' S
future. Manufacturing is the vitaliz-
ing force that feeds and nourisheS the
thriving commercial points; it is what
our little city needs, and in this find
it is hoped by all and believed by many
that at least a partial solution to the
manufacturing problem has been
found.
The letter from Washington says
the sample sent them is of the nature
of ball clay, which is an ingredient
used in the manufacture of high grade
pottery, and is worth from IS to S12
per ton.
The enterprising firm that is taking
this option expects to push matters to
a final conclusion.

Crazy Man in the Hills.

Auditor ]. | Overman received a
letter from Dixie Sunday announcing
the fact that crazy man with a big
gun and an unlimited supply of amu-
milton was roaming the hills a few
miles out from Dixie, and the aid of
the law was invoked to suppress him
before some bodily harm should come
to innocent parties. AT the same
time Sheriff Byron was notified by
phone of the fact, and papers were
at once issued for the apprehension
of the wild roamer and Deputy
Randall started hot footed for the
scene of action. He will 90 to Dixie
by horse and from there will have to
snow-Shoe it out to the tunnel or cave
where the belligerent citizen is forti-
hed. The man claims that the Of
hcerS are after him for some crime,
and it means life sentence should he
allow himself to be arrested. He is
afraid of women, claiming that a
woman once swore his life away, and
that he has SHE'D clear around them
ever since for fear one may do him
again. A case of this kind is very
trying on an officer, much more SO
than the arrest of reputed bad man
who has his mental equilibrium and is
just mean and needs killing.
