About Formosa Sugar.

About Formosa Sugar.
The Beet Sugar Gazette for July
publishes the following:
William Dyer, assistant superin-
tendent OF THE Honolulu Iron Works,
returned recently from Formosa and
the Philippines, where he has been
looking after business matters for his
company. MIR. Dyer is greatly inn
pressed with the future possibilities
of sugar production in Formosa. lie
states that there are at present in
course of erection in the island of For
mosa six modern sugar factories with
capacities ranging from 500 to 1900
tons Of cane per "a hours. One of
these is in reality an enlargement of
an existing factory-thRt of Ako
which is being increased to a capacity
of $500 tons instead of | 200 as orig
inally constructed. All of these fac
tories are located in the southern part
of the Islands and are being erected by
British, German and American engi-
neers. In this particular class of
work the Honolulu Iron Works has
the advantage of experience in the
Hawaiian Islands and, while the other
mills are being erected by the very
best engineers in the world when II
comes to detail the Hawaiian COM
pany has a great many advantages
over the others.
Next year Formosa will be in a po-
sitlon to fully supply Japan with raw
sugar. This whole development has
been made since 1906 and is some
thing really remarkable. The pres
ent sugar consumption Of Japan is
something like 100000 tons, which had
come mostly from Java and some from
Peru.
There is no labor situation" in
Formosa. The labor supply is unlim-
tied for all practical purposes. The
field laorers are mostly Chinese and
the remainder largely Tainans-the
people Of the country. These latter
are the agricultural class of Formosa
and are Of Chinese origin. Very few
Japanese are employed as laborers,
Japanese capitalists own the factories
and railroads and control the situa-
ton generally. The people of this
race, therefore, are the heads Of the
mills, the chemists, engineers, clerks
managers and overseers.
With one exception, there are no
large holdings of cane land in For
mosa. The cane is purchased from
the land owners and the cost to the
sugar factories Is about half what II
costs to produce the same quality OF
Hawaiian cane. The land on whic
