Important
Transfer
The Waikiki Electric Franchise Sold
to Mr.. F. L. HadIey.

We are to have electric lights.
This seems to be assured now. The
electric franchise was sold last Sa-
turday to Mr.. F. L. Hadley, who is
known to many residents, as he
spent some time in Waikiki a few
months back. Mr.. Hadley is chock
full of determination, ,progressiveness
and backbone, and it is pet scheme
of his to put electric lights into
Wailuku and Kahului. We expect
no stock juggling from Mr.. Hadley,
as he is a thorough electrical engi-
neer, and knows what he is about.
Wailuku is fortunate in having such
man secure the lighting franchise
The town has been dark too long
already, and when Mr.. Hadley gets
his plans laid out, he will no doubt
have something definite to offer the
people in a very short time, and it
will be up to the people to cooper
ate with him, and support him in
every way possible.

played last fall against the japanese
team, they will just about-put it
over the Hiloites. 1t is expected
that excursion rates will be obtain

Meeting Of
Importers
The Importers Of East Maui Yete to
Reimpose the Quarantine Tax.

At meeting of Importers held at
the Baldwin National Bank at Ka-
hului, Monday last it was voted to
reimpose the tax on all importations
from the mainland.
The Quarantine Fund was estab-
lished in October 1904, by Mr.. II.
P. Baldwin, representing the Maui
Agricultural Company and the H.
c. & S. Co., and their tributory
stores; Mr.. G. B. Wells, represent
ing the Wailuku Plantation and the
Importers at Wailuku; and the
Superintendent of the Kahului Rail-
road Company.
The tax was imposed to provide
a fund which would be instantly
available for the purpose of combat
ing any epidemic of contagious dis
ease which might be introduced in
to the port from abroad.
The tax was collected at the rate
OF ten cents per ton on all imports
into the port of Kahului, exclusive
of lumber, coal and nitrates, by the
Kahului Railroad Company, which
is responsible for the amount.
The tax covered importations by
steamers and sailing vessels from
mainland ports, but not importa-
tions from Island ports.
The imposition of this tax ceased
on March 13, 1908, and at that time
the total amount of. the Quarantine
Fund had reached the sum of
50, ,252 .OS. This sum was divided
into two portions: One portion was
deposited in the First National Bank
OF Wailuku, the second in the Bald
win National Bank of Kahului,
Savings Deposits drawing interest at
4 % per annum.
The sum total at the present time
available to be instantly drawn up
on is VI, ,8S2. 10, inclusive of accrued
interest to December 81, 1910.
The Trustees of the Quarantine
Fund consist, at the present time of
Mr.. j. N. S. Williams, Permanent
Chairman, Mr.. III. P. Baldwin, Mr..
H. B. Penhallow, Mr.. d. c.. Lind
say, and Mr.. c. d. Lufkin. Mr..
H. B. Penhallow is secretary.
AS the money at present available
is being used to combat the diph-
liberia epidemic. the re-irhposition
if the tax is for the purpose Of keep
ing the fund up to the 5000 mark.
Previously lumber, coal litrates and
oil were exempt from the tax, but
on motion of Mr.. F. F. Baldwin it
was voted that these items, which
form a large bulk of the imports
from the mainland be also taxed in
the present instance. The Secretary
was instructed to ask the importers
OF the ports of Hama and Lahaina
to cooperate with the port of Kahului
and also impose tax, thus raising
the necessary amount in a shorter
space of time. AS these ports are
receiving the benefits of any precau-
tlonary measures taken by the i'm
porters at the port of Kahului, it is
hoped they will lend their support
to the measure.

Commercial
Happenings
Racy News From the Capitol Regard
ing Sugar Stock.
By l.. D. Timmons.
Honolulu, Dec. 20

Honolulu, Dec. ~.
In last week letter the remark
able case of a heavy slump in sugar
to be followed by an equally sensa-
tional advance, was reported. From
lust Tuesday afternoon to yesterday
the market in New York held at
four cents, but u break has taken
place, which, although slight, indi-
Gates that the market is not strong.
The latest quotation is 800 for
raws, and weak.
It is impossible to forecast what
the immediate future will bring
forth, but the chances are consider
ably on the side of steady decline
until the Cuban crop is out of the
way. That the price will not 60
nearly 80 low as figured thirty to
sixty days ago is pretty well assured,
however; and Hawaii's crop is al
most certain Of averaging salts
factory return.
Since the last report, Pioneer Mill
directors have held their meeting
and fixed the monthly dividend for
next year at one and half per
cent. This is highly satisfactory,
as it had been calculated that the
dividend would be cut to one per
cent, and sales and purchases Of
Pioneer stock had been made on
that basis. The past year the divi-
dend has been two per cent a
month, and had the price Of sugar
kept up would have been continued,
with. fine chance Of one or more
extras" This is the first real
effect of the depression in the price
of sugar to be felt by Maui directly.
Prior to the announcement referred
to Pioneer was S165 bid and $40
asked. Immediately afterward there
was an advance and the stock is
now $17O bid and $172.5O asked.
PIONEER SALES.
On Wednesday Pioneer sold at
$40, two blocks of 10 shares each
changing hands. On Thursday it
was down to $165 bid and $40
asked, while ON Thursday 10 and 80
shares sold at $40. There have
been no sales since, although the
demand at the figures above quoted
is strong.
sHAwAi,AM coMMERciAL
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday Hawaiian Commercial
held between $33 and $33 .25 asked.
while bidding was s32.75 to $32.-
875. On Wednesday a sale OF 40
shares was made at S33, followed
by so the next day at the same, 10
and 20 on Friday and 20 and
100 on Saturday at like figure. 1t
will thus be seen that while the
quotations have varied the actual
sales have been on precisely the
same basis straight through. There
have been no sales since Saturday,
but as $33 is bid for the stock with
none offered, Hawaiian Commercial
may be regarded as quite strong,
considering.
OTHER MAv, STOCKS.
There is still wide disparity in
the bidding and asking figures of
Paia and Haiku Holders have not
budged a cent from $3.50 for these
stocks in a month. Bidding has
dropped to S120, but of course little
attention is paid to any such offers.
Wailuku is $50 bid, but this fig
ure appears about as ridiculous as
those for Paia and Haiku. Olowalu
is out of the market entirely, there
being none for sale.

CHRISTMAS AND STOCKS.

Christmas business has opened
up with an unusual rush and will
have an important influence to the
bad upon the stock market. Buyers
will be otherwise engaged for some
days, and as there will be a number
of holders anxious to sell in order
to meet end-of-the-year obligations,
there will be fine chance for bar
gains in the local market. The in
dications are that all stocks will sag
more or less on these accounts in
the next ten days, to revive again
after the first of the year.
NEW srock EXCHANGE.
A new stock exchange, known as
the Hawaiian Stock Exchange, +"
has been formed and will begin re-
gular session on the first of January.
1t will have membership of
twenty-five, and will list all stocks
in the Islands, and oil and other
outside stocks in which local parties
are interested. The two exchanges
working at once in the same field
will probably have the effect of in
creasing interest in the stock mar
ket, and materially augment the
total of business.

The little amateur actors at the

was greeted with applause. That

nounced by the noise of the bark
ers in front of the playhouse. The
Eagles who had charge of last
nights performance, relieved the
various employees of their duties

beating a big gass drum.
In addition to the moving pic
lures, little Beatrice Parker and
Tommy Lydon amused the audience
first in single turns and then in a
double act. Lena Bohn and Mar
jorie Macy also deserve credit for
the manner in which they carried
out their lines. The best part of the
performance was when Beatrice Par
ker, Marjorie Macy and Tommy
Lydon appeared in blackface
stunt. That is Tommy represent
ed Darkest Africa and the girls
dressed as Dutch maidens. The act
was good one and the juvenile
actors were deserving of every bit
OF applause received. The music
throughout the evening was fur
nished by Mrs. James Hayward.
Tonight the regular performance
will be given and Manager Jake
Goodfriend has secured an attrac-
tive program.

That the Western Pacific railroad

that has been reached within the

son to believe the Western Pacific
is going to enter Reno by this way.

The fact that men supposed to
