INJURED FIRE FIGHTERS
! HELPEDBY ASSOCIATES
$3.50 Raised and Forwarded
for Relief of Men Who
Get No Pay.

Following the assurance Of Deputy
Forester Greeley, at Missoula, Mont,
that money could be used, the employees
of the forest service here telegraphed last
evening $3.50 for the relief Of the in
Jured fire fighters who are in the hos
pital at Missoula and to pay expenses
10 forwarding to relatives the bodies OF
those who have been killed fighting fire.
1t was such a situation as has never
confronted the forest service before.
There have been individual men killed
and injured In the field. In such cases
their associates, IL needful. dug into
their pockets and paid what immediate
expenses were necessary.
But in the present case there were a
large number to be cared for. A ref
erence to the legal department OF the
Department of Agriculture showed that
there was no authority even to carry the
injured fire fighters on the rolls.
Bad Time to Raise Cash.
The employees Of the Washington ONCE,
therefore. started q subscription among
themselves and sent what they could in
the way Of immediate funds to the scene.
As some Of the officials explained, 1t was
a bad time to start q subscription In the
office.
The bulk Of the force was in the field
Many were on vacation. Those who had
come home were mostly broke.
But the $50 was made up. every one
from the office boys and elevator men to
the Associate foresters contributing ac-
cording to his means. In fact, II was q
surprise to some Of the officials what
generous subscriptions were made by
some subordinate members Of the force.
There was no effort to go outside the
office. 1t had been intimated from the
Department of Agriculture that the en-
ployes there would be ready to subscribe
The forest service men said they felt
hesitancy about making an appeal out
side their own immediate circle.
There is in the forest service itself q
small benevolent association to which
many members belong 1t does not aim to
take the place Of life insurance, but fur
nishes the quick money needed for aid to
members hurt in the field. 1t was ex-
planned In the office today, however, that
most men injured do not belong to this
association.

AS in the past, the work of this de-
partment has also during the last year
been highly efficient; and in this res
pect, | wish to mention especially the
successful introduction of the cane
borer parasites. While sufficient time
has not yet elapsed to determine whe-
ther the parasite will establish itself

cult undertaking, great credit is due

plan on the same lines so successfully
adopted in subduing the leaf hopper,
and also to Mr.. F. Muir who spent the
last four years, at the risk of his
health, in quest of parasites to prey on
the cane borer, and was finally sue
cessful, with the able assistance of DR..
Kershaw, in finding the natural enemy
of the cane borer, and in landing, with
the means of relay-stations, colony

of successfully establishing these pa

past.
The continued work of propagating
Hawaiian seedlings has resulted, dur
ing the past year, in a number of pro-
missing varieties and will, no doubt
eventually lead to a considerable in
crease in the yield per acre.
All other departments of the station

different lines, and the institution,

REMARKABLE DIP
IN SUGAR PRICES

An eastern authority sends out the
following on the sugar situation as
seen from that vantage:
Due to an Unexpectedly big increase
of 100000 tons in the estimated Eu-
ropean yield of beet sugar, a gain Of
over 20 per cent, prices for raw sugar
throughout the world have been tum-
bling for the last two months.
The present outlook is for an Amer
lean quotation of 2 to 2 Ia cents ex-
duty when Cuban cane gets ready to
come to market next January. At the
moment raws are selling freely at not
better than "a cents and tentative
bids for the future Cuban crop have
a whole cent per pound lower than
the average price of sugar during
the greater portion of the recent
grinding season.
The decline in raw sugar has been
sharply accumulated by the enormous
speculative accounts carried in Eu-
rope. European buyers were so con-
tldent of their position that a few
months ago for the first time in years
they stepped in and bought Cuban
raws up to cents per pound or bet
ter. In al, some 10000 tons of Gu
ban sugar went to these buyers. Re-
Gently these spectators have begun
to dump this sugar at losses averag-
ing close to * cents per pound. In
the cleanup of this American sugar,
il is estimated that the pool losses
will run between $2,25OOOO and ST.
100000.
If the coming ~ months show very
moderate earnings for American cane
and beet sugar companies, it will not
be a surprise to sugar experts. OF
course the consumer will get his
sugar cheaper.
The sharp decline in raw sugar has
cost some of the refiners considerable
money American melting had only

at this time to say whether the new
land laws will work out as benefcially
as is anticipated and hoped for, but
the tendency of the law to provide,
by virtue of the homestead clause, a
stability of population by inducing de-
sirable immigrants and residents to
take up homesteads within the Ter
ritory, will, no doubt, in time prove a
boon to our commonwealth, and the
planters heartily cooperate with the
government to bring about the salu-
tary results which the law promises
and which are of the greatest import

The introduction of Russian immi-
grants from Manchuria by the Board
of immigration during the past year
has not come up to expectations, and
further attempts to obtain immigrants
from that source have been abandon
ed for the present. 1t is regrettable,
in my opinion, that this influx of an en-
tirely new class of much promising
laborers-and in time very likely a
desirable addition to our population
ceased through the dissatisfaction
among themselves brought about by
agitators of their own people. without
first acquainting themselves with the
true condition of surroundings entire

Mr.. A. ]. Campbell left few months
ago, for a second time, at the instance
of the Board of immigration, for the
Azores and Madeira to further recruit
Portuguese immigrants. The latter,
as evidenced by the experience of
many years, have proven by far the
most desirable element, being of a
thrifty and industrious nationality, and
for some time past have contributed
largely to the industrial welfare as
well as civic development of the Is

ANOTHER QUIET
DAY FOR STOCKS

The stock market today has been
about as uninteresting as possible
due, in some measure to the arrival
of the mainland mail but for the most
part to the natural effect of the de-
preston through which the sugar mar.
ket is now passing. If there were
buyers this morning they were not in
evidence. At the same time, however.
no stock seemed to be going begging.
Between boards IS and % shares

from 1854 so, the basis of the last pre-
vious sale. At the close on Saturday

still bid, but holders had come down to

There were two sales of Hawaiian

General.
Not exactly within the scope of gen
eral planting interests are two under
takings of the past year of which I
would make mention. l refer in the
first instance to the Hamakua ditch
which was completed about the mid
ddle of the present year, a most sue
cessful engineering feat where noun
tain waters-formerly running to
waste-have ben impounded and are
being led a distance of twenty-four
miles, partly through tunnels, to plan
tation fields in the Hamakua District
which heretofore were almost every
year affected, more or less, by drouhts.
The other enterprise which l have
in mind is the extension of the Hilo
Railroad to the Hamakua district
which, when completed will open new
opportunities for homesteads all along
the line, and offer great transporta-
ton facilities, in passenger as well as
freight traffic.
During the past year death has taken
from our midst the following men,
bers: w. w. Hall, c. F. Hart and Alex
ander Young, who have always taken
a keen interest in the affairs of our
association and were regular attend
dants of our annual meetings.; also
Mr.. Kirkaldy, of tho staff of the Expe-
riment Station, who as entomologist
rendered valuable services.
Reports from the Experiment Sta
ton, Bureau of Labor and Statistics,
and from the various committees will
be submitted to you in the course of
our meeting, and I recommend same
to your kind attention and delibera-
ton, the various subjects covered by

Campbell will be successful in his
present undertaking.
1t is not amiss to mention in this
connection that the government mas
been very fortunate in obtaining the
services of DR.. Victor S. Clark who,
with his extensive knowledge of labor
conditions, locally as well as general
ly will be of great assistance to the
Board of immigration in its search for
desirable immigrants.
1t is consistent with the future well
fare of the islands, and almost imper-
ative that the coming legislature
should not repeal the immigration and
conservation law, enacted at the last
session, and which since the recent
elections bears so strongly public
endorsement, and that further sources
from which desirable immigrants
might be obtained, be investigated.
The gaps caused by laborers leaving
the country have been filled, more or
less, during the past year with Fill
pinos, and it is highly gratifying to
state that they have proven quite sat
isfactory as field-laborers. For the
time being at least, our association
depends on this immigration to some
extent to keep up it's labor supply.
A number of features inaugurated
during the past year at the recommen-
dation of your Board of Trustees
have been conducive to better feel
ing among the plantation laborers;
for instance:
Extending the cultivation contract
system as much as feasible on every
under which arrangement
greater opportunities are given the la
borers to augment their earnings;
Paying a bonus, which innovation
has been in many instances an incen-
tive among the day laborers for stead
Ter work.
In this connection l also wish to
call special attention to the so-called
welfare work, as recently recommend
ed by our Bureau of Labor and Sta
tistics, and would urge that the plan
tation managers lend their full sup
port towards the carrying out of this
plan, as with a comparatively small
outlay, plantation life to both, the
skilled and unskilled laborers, can be
made considerably more attractive
through the amusements and recrea-
ton suggested by the pan, while the
identifying of the laborers quarters
will have the far-reaching tendency of
stimulating the home feeling.
To further facilitate the good work
of our Bureau of Labor and Statistics
earnestly solicit the cooperation of
every plantation manager to supply all
data required by the bureau, from
time to time, for statistical purposes
as all information, thus gathered and
compiled, is of great value to our in
dustry.

was finally passed by Congress with
few amendments. The salient points
covered by this amendment of the Or
