BANANA MEN
LOOKING HERE
May Arrange Effective Plan to
Market the Hawaii
Product.
A FAST FRUIT STEAMER
How the Central American Fruit
at Present Shuts Out
Hawaiian.

Messrs. Watson and del Orto. two
men prominent in the purchasing and
distribution of bananas, well known in
Atlantic and Pacific Coast CONNER
cial circles as big men in the trade,
arrived on the Sierra, having come here
particularly to investigate the Hawai-
ian banana output and its possibilities
for development.
They have made inquiries as to the
tonnage per annum of output in the
entire Islands and have also made a
cursory inspection Of the varieties of
bananas which pass through Honolulu
on the way to the Coast markets.
Today they leave for Hawaii, where
they will make further investigations,
going into Kona and other productive
districts and on their return to this
city will probe the subject thoroughly.
The marketing the banana output of
the Hawaiian Islands has been done
III 2 haphaZard manner and growers
have been Independent of each other,
shipping their product as it matured
without reference to the state of the
market on the Coast. at times thou
sands and thousands of punches are
shipped up, arriving in San Francisco
just when big shipment has arrived
from Central American ports. The
Central American product is shipped
and distributed through big agencies
and it is properly distributed. The
Hawaiian output, under such circum-
stances, awaits purchaser. There
| is no association in the Hawaiian Is
lands for shipping the product and
there is no organization in San Fran
cisco to protect the shipments. Often
times the bills return here marked with
red ink.
The visitors, it is said, plan to effect
system by which the product is
shipped properly and on arrival on the
Coast Will pass into the hands of the
| concern which is headed by the Wis
| itors. The various markets viii be sup
| piled regularly and the shipments kept
on the move.
| IL order to keep the bananas moving
with some regularity or in order to
! handle the output in a systematic man
/ ner there is a plan to place fruit
| boat. properly fitted for fruit shipping
/ on the run between Honolulu and San
I Francisco.-a fast boat which could
! cover the distance in five days. In
| addition to bananas such a boat OF
boats could handle other products rel
| ished by mainland epicures.

DESHA DEFINES
HIS POSITION
And Denies That His District

Making.

s. l.. Desha yesterday. off | do not
get the nomination of the Republican
party / shall not complain, l am not
anxious about it. I shall be loyal to
the party, as always. AS far as
the supervisorship is concerned, | do
not care to run again for supervisor
of Hawaii county. 1t is up to the
party. If. however, Jim Lewis IS
nominated for supervisor, / shall work
against him, party or no party. II
such nomination is made, you Will
see me for the first time opposing my
party.
~ do not by any means admit that
the roads in my district are almost the
worst in Hawaii county. as was stated
in The Advertiser yesterday. In fact
claim that they are second only 10
Koua district roads, and kona IS
dry district where it is easy to keep
good roads.
s.When the grand jury in Kailua
~ubpoenaed the supervisors to haiua
about three weeks ago, those who made
the trip from the HiIo side had
chance to Judge of the roads. Super
visor Shrpman of Kau told me person
aUv that the roads Of my district were
on the whole very creditable. He
said that next to those of Kona, they
were the best in the county.
..The worst roads are along the
Hamakua coast beyond HiIo district,
unless it be the stretch between Huo
and Papaikou. which is certainly very
bad at present. / do not think 1t as
bad as some Of the bits further on,
however, for there are stretches Of
road further on where autos get stuck
and have to be hauled out by mules. -

StearnS Mill Will Have Plenty
of Logs
And the big Institutions Will
be Kept Running For
Some Time.

The big saw mill of the Stearns
Lumber company in this city
will now be kept running until
navigation closes in the fall.
This was made possible by the
heavy rains the first of the week.
The lumber company were run
ming short OF logs, for with the
low condition of the Bad River
at Odanah it was impossible to
drive any down the river. All
the logs on this side of the bay
are about used up and the mill
was starting to draw on the
supply in the ponds on the Ash
land side but with these the mill
could only have run for about
three weeks. The rain Of the
first of the week has sufficiently
raised the water in the Bad
River so that sixty million of
feet can now be driven down to
the bay and brought to this city.
With this supply to draw from
the mill will be kept running
night and day until it freezes up.

A Good Country
Desnite the fact that th;s

Despite the fact that this has
been very dry year, crops in
this section, with the exception
of hay, are good. While the
fruit crop has not been what
it should have been under
more favorable conditions, yet
the quality is excellent, and the
vegetables are good. The fact
that there has been no KILN g
frost has enabled the potato crop
to far exceed the most sanguine
hopes of the most optimistic.
The splendid display of corn, po-
tatoes, onions. and other veget-
ables, in the window of VIM. Oh
sons office and in other places
on our main street, simply
shows what can be done here,
and if such splendid results can
obtained oman "Off year" what
may we not expect under
more favorable conditions.
People who have lived here for
years are just awakening to the
splendid possibilities of this Sec
tion of Wisconsin, while those
coming from a distance are sur
prised at the crops grown
here One travelling man said
Your crops here are much bet
ter than down in the south part
of the state, and I am certainly
surprised at the fl uit grown
here" AS a result of these
facts which are becoming widely
known through many tourists
who visit this section every sum-
mer. the price Of land is advanc-
ing by leaps and bounds, and
the man who buys now is lucky
indeed. Our local real estate
men are fine lot of fello ws, and
by their right dealings are get
ing the confidence of the outside
world and the business too.

the Circuit court, and they
will be tried at the next April
