CALIFORNIA OIL.

The great interest that Honolulu in
vestors are taking in various oil com
panies being foated or which are now
operating in the various Californian oil

than most any other industry but the

SUGAR IN MEXICO.

Advices received in Mexico City
from Culiacan, State of Sinaloa, indi-
cate the consummation of one of the
largest deals known in the sugar indus
try in Mexico. It is the purchase by
the Sinaloa Land Company of the
Navolato hacienda mill from the AL
mazda Brothers for 100000 pesos. The
plantation and sugar mill are some 35
kilometers west of Culiacan near the
Humaya river. The property comprises
5000 acres. 5000 Of which are now in
cane. The daily capacity of the mill
IS 600 tons of cane, while the distillerv
produces about 1000 liters of alcohol
daily. An irrigation canal some 35
kilOmeters long is now being built by
the Sinaloa Land Company and this
will make productive a much larger
acreage of the lands of the recently
acquired hacienda.

the estimate of total crop of Philippine
Islands to 10000 tons.
The prospects for next crop are in
deed more encouraging planters having
invested the fairly large profits that
they made this season in buying cattle,
which has enabled them to make large
paintings and which makes them expect
the Iloilo crop for 1910-1911 will pro-
duce about 100000 piculs G25,000
tons). Of course, at this time of the
year it is vet too early to predict
what the production is likely to turn
out, depending greatly on the weather;
but we have no doubt that there is
sufficient cane planted for that amount,
and if weather is favorable for the
next three months, as hitherto, we quite
believe the production will reach their
expectations.
In the Luzon provinces a fairly
large increase of sugar production is
also expected Leaving apart the damp
sugar unsuitable for export to your
country, we estimate that the coming
crop is likely to amount to something
like $4,000 tons. AS we said above,
! this does not include low test sugars,
produced in considerable quantity,
which will have to find their way, az
| they have done this year, to China
markets.

there being very little difference in
the bidding figures of the commence

increase and decrease were averaged up
it would be found that the former pre-
dominates and that bidding at the end
of the week has been generally higher
than it was last Monday. Honokaa and
Hawaiian c. & s. have both advanced,
the latter supplying the feature of the
week in actual sales. and Oahu Sugar
has fallen off few points.

MAHUKA SITE.

Confirmation, from official and au-

news that the $350,0O0 for the enlarge
nent of the Mahuka site for the fed
eral building had passed congress.

the negotiations to begin in which it IS
expected that the Fort street Waikiki

as yet no steps to protect their inter

Co. store still progresses, preparing
it for the receipt Of the offices of Cas-
tla & Cooke. This firm, by continuing
the work in a building which is sup
posed to be marked for condemnation,
SHOWS that it has little confidence in
any speedy settlement that will result
in the money and the land changing
places.
Strings are now said to be tied to
this appropriation of 1886, 900. 1t seems
to have been taken for granted that
the property desired could be obtained
without a question for the price named
and there Is not the slightest provision
to obtain the property should it be val

appropriated for the condemnation
proceedings.

Little Rock, Aug. 3O.-John Mayes of Fayetteville, the Republican who had bad dream and imagined he was going to make a race for prose- cutting attorney in the Washington county district, was in Little Rock today and started out to raise a dis turbance or get his name on the ticket which will be voted in the general election to be held Sept. 12. He found that his fee and certificate did not arrive in Little Rock in time, through the neglect of the postal at- tachees, and for that reason the name was not certified to the election commissioners of his district. The certificate and fee was received by Treasurer Yates after the time speci- fled by law had passed. Mayes called on Attorney General Norwood and undertook to find some law by which he could get on the ticket, but the attorney general could find nothing which would be beneficial to Mr. Mayes, so he departed for his home last night, defeated before he ever got on the ticket.

The most severe test ever given to floor in the new State Capitol is now taking place in the reception hall of the governors office In this large room which is about 30 by 50 feet, sand has been piled on the floor to depth of three feet and allowed to remain there over Sunday Even un- der this immense strain the floor has not sagged fraction of an inch. The sand was not placed on the floor for test, being wheeled in there as a store room whe e it would be handy Tor the plasterers and concrete work CTS nearby. There is double the amount of sand on this floor there was Oil the old floors when they al- most collapsed under the tests of the legislative committed The sand will probably remain on the floor for an- other week before the plasterers are ready to use it up, thus revealing any flaw which may be in the floor or the steel work which supports it. Work 1n other portions of the building is progressing rapidly, especially on the base. This is lined with brick. The carpenters have placed the scaffold- ing to the top of the dome so the work can progress there without in- terruption.
