RECORD IS BEING
MADE At PUUNENE
NEARLY TEN THOUSAND TONS
SUGAR TURNED OUT IN MARCH
TOTAL, $4,000 TONS.

Alexander & Baldwin are in receipt
of most fiattering report on grinding
operations and returns of Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Company for the
month of March. During the month
6S,756 tons of cane were handled, the
same producing 1858 tons OF sugar.
This is the record as to both cane
and sugar for any month of March at
Puunene, or, in fact, all Maui 1t is
the first time at Hawaiian CONNER
calls mill that more than 5000 tons
IN a month has been turned out.
The excellent showing is ascribed to
the remarkably favorable harvesting
conditions and the abundance of good
labor.
It is now stated positively that the
yield for the year will not exceed 3d.
900 tons, despite rumors to the con-
trary. In view of the fact that the
managers estimate was only $4,000
tons, however. the yield indicated can
hardly be regarded as disappointing.
Entirely unfounded rumors have had
it that Hawaiian Commercial might
tip the $4,000 mark this year.
The crop is coming along we'll and
, the juice is of a good quality. The
latter is also gratifying, particularly
in view of reports of depreciation in
sugar in several parts of the Islands.

HEAD PROMOTERS
IN BUSY SESSION

All members of the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee were present at the
meeting held yesterday afternoon.
and considerable business was dis
ed of.
T. V. King, Of the Hawaii Yacht
Club appeared before the committee
and endeavored to obtain its coopera-
ton and assistance in bringing off the
proposed trans-Pacifc yacht race this
summer. He stated that the Club was
without funds and that about $4,000
would be required to make the big
event a success. Indications were
that four, five or more yachts would
participate in the race, and it was
desired to give all of the sportsmen a
good time. The committee discussed
ways and means for, assisting the
club in the emergency, and r. H.
Trent finally offered the following re-
solution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee heartily endorses the
plan of Hawaii Yacht Club to pull off
trans Pacific race in the summer of a
1910, and commends the efforts of the
Yacht Club in this matter to the kind
ly consideration and assistance of the
community"
A letter from j. A. Baubardned, edi-
tor of the Santa Ana, Cal, Register
and president of the National Editor
ial Association, was read The gen.
tleman wishes to have the next meet
ing of his Association in California
and would like to arrange an excur-
sion of the hundred or more editorial
delegates to Hawaii. To pull off the
project successfully he would like an
advance of between $4,000 and $4,000
for the party, the same to be repaid
in advertising in various papers. Mr.
Trent strongly supported the scheme
and seemed to have the backing OF
other members of the committee. The
acting secretary was finally instructed
to advise the Chamber of Commerce
and Merchants Association that the
Committee endorsed the proposition;
also to ask the support of these bodies
of the Mayor of the city, the supervi.
sors and the Governor of the Terri
tory. Trent was mover of these mo-
tions and was seconded by Mr.. Hoogs
1T was decided to continue for three
months longer the contract with Wal
ter G.. Scott for the distribution OF
promotion literature on the Coast. In
regard to the removal of sand from
the Waikiki beach by the United
States authorities, Major Winslov
wrote to say that he felt sure the com.
m'ttee had been misinformed as tc
what his department had done. Only
few carloads of sand had beer
taken for the purpose of plasterinl
manholes at the government works
not enough to bring about any damage
to the beach.

VERY FINE REPORT
FROM HUTCHINSON

Conditions on Hutchinson planta-
tion look better than they have in
years." said Manager Carl VOTERS,
of that estate, this morning.
Manager VOTERS came down in the
Mauna Loa to consu;t with his agents
on general plantation matters. He
will return home by the same steam
err leaving next Tuesday
"The fine condition of the planta-
ton is due principally to the rains
we have been having. Not In many
years has there been such an even
and desirable distribution of moisture
and the effect on the cane is to be
noted everywhere on the plantation.
"The young cane looks particularly
well, both at Hutchinson and Pahala.
Certainly the prospects for the future
are of the very best.
Grinding is in progress and the
yield is turning out fully up to the
estimate originally set. The Juice is
excellent-the best, in fact, have
ever seen at Hutchinson; and the
yield of sugar to the ton will come
up to high mark.
Hutchinson has never been in bet
ter shape than it is today, and am
now certain that this will be banner
year for the estate"

AS soon as the land has been Sc
cured the ten men rom Hakalau will
go to Kona, and will raise their first
crop from five acres, in the mean
| time getting the remainder of theil
land ready for cultivation. They will
begin with capital of from two tc

pany and will asso have charge of the
