irritate spots by scratching with his

spREoKELs ANp We rRusr.

In talk with President Taft. Claus
spreckcls, the representative of import.
ant Independent sugar interests in New
York and elsewhere, offered to obtain
for the use of tn Administration and
of the Tariff Board detailed figures
showing the exact foreign cost of pro-
duction of refined sugar, says a Wash.
ington Exchange.
President Taft, it is understood, will
tentatively accept the offer of Mr.
Spreckels, which is made at his own
risk and his own expenses, and it is
stated that whatever Mr.. Spreckels
may turn in will receive careful con-
sideration. Whether it will be re-
ferred to the domestic sugar refining
and producing interests for the com.
ment of these organizations could not
be definitely learned. although a SINH
lar policy has been determined upon in
other lines where material has been
obtained from radical critics and then
submitted to the conservative members
of trade or business group for criti-
cism and analysis. In any event, how
ever, it is expected that the Tariff
Board will set experts to test the re.
suits arrived at in the sugar investi-
cation which Mr. SpreclSels proposes to
carry on abroad, although the board
has not yet been consulted in the mat
ter.

1909 IMPORTS.

The government has just issued a
bulletin on the exports of farm and
forest products from 1907 to 1909, and
as the figures speak for themselves, the
following are selected as relating to
the articles of that nature imported by
Hawaii.
The value of live animals intro
duced into the Territory in 1909 was
double that in 1907. During the latter
date there were 1858 animals (includ
jng fowls) valued at $l24,22O imported
into the Territory as compared with
1888 animals valued at $314,55S intro,
diced in 1909. The total for the three
years was 1870 animals valued at 1927,
I 900.
The importation of cattle from 1905
to 1909 decreased while that of horses
for the same period increased sever
fold. Swine was imported in 1909 ex

KoHA1A NOTES.

The Kohala Midget contributes the
following notes to the commercial
knowledge of the day.
The Kona Kanning Kompany, Mr.. U,
Woods, proprietor, has been putting up
quantity of poha jam. Tie ANIMAL
output of poha, guava, roselle orange
marmalade, pineapple jelly, etc, is be.
tween 500 and 700 cases, nearly all of
which is disposed of in Honolulu.
Mr.. Conant of the Kona Development
Company is clearing more mauka land
for cane, The next crop will run prob
ably between 1000 and 5000 tons.
An average of 1000 packages a week
are being shipped from Napoopoo dur
ing the coffee season, about equally
divided between the bags of coffee and
cases of timed pineapple. So high as
$500 cases of pines and 5000 bags of
coffee have been shipped in one week.

DATA SECURED.

Government officers feel the better
ready to make use of Mr.. Spreekels'
assistance because of the fact that
there is already in hand large mass of
material as to costs of making beet
sugar. Almost complete figures of very
exact sort as to the cost of making
beet sugar in various countries are
available. These do not include the
actual cost of raising the beets, which
is not considered by experts suscepti-
bile of being ascertained inasmuch as
beet culture abroad is part of gen
eral rotation process, which includes
number of other crops. 1t is, how.
ever. known what prices are paid for
beets delivered at the mills.
There is not in the possession of any
branch of the Government information
as to the cost of refining raw cane
sugar abroad and this, it is believed,
Mr.. Spreckels can be depended upon
to get. When it arrives it can readily
be combined with the data as to beet
sugar. 1t is the beet people who have
borne the heat and burden of the day
incontests before congress, the cane re.
finers hiding behind the question of
beet sugar in the resistance they have
offered to the reduction of duties.

PRACTICAL WORK OF
SISAL OBSERVATORY
Delicate Instruments by Means
of Which Magnetic Instru-
mentS Are Made True.

Few people here appreciate the fact
that at Sisal is established one of the
five important magnetic observatories
of the United States, in charge of a
special observer of the coast and geo
detic survey, in the person of Oscar II.
Garden. Nearly everyone knows that
there is a seismograph out Sisal way,
but the general disposition has been to
regard it as something'in the nature of
the weather bureau kiosk on Hotel
street, something to look at casually
and not bother about.
The sisal observatory is carrying on
an important work, work which has
its practical side as well as scien'
tific interest. In all probability, for
instance, the magnetic instruments of
the s. s. Explorer, now in port, will be
taken ont to Sisal to be adjusted. This
adjustment will make accurate the
work of the Explorer in the soundings
made, the charts prepared and the sail
ing directions to be based on these.
Thus, upon the result of the observatory
work at Sisal will depend future sail
ings of ships in these and other waters.
The Sisal observatory is one of five
similar stations, the other four being
respectively at Vieques. Porto Rico;
Sitka, Alaska; Cheltenham, Maryland,
and Tuscon. Arizona. The observatories
are fitted with seismographs, upon which
are recorded the earth tremors, wher-
ever they may take place, The recent
great disturbances in Italy, for in
stance, wavered the magnetic needle at
Sisal and recorded upon Photographic
film there the disturbances that
brought death and destruction to many
halfway around the world off. Quakes
from Hilo and quakes from Patagonia
are recorded Just as they come, some
of which get newspaper record and
some of which are never heard of out
side the seismograph stations and in
ne regular reports to the department
at Washington.
The seismograph is not the important
recording instrument at Sisal, however
There are three variOmeters there whose
functions are regarded as of more gen
eral utility. These instruments deal
with the three magnetic elements, re-
speetively, the vertical intensity, the
horizontal intensity and declination.
SO delicately are these instruments ad-
iusted that Mr. Garden has to put
away his watch, his jaeknife and any
other metal utensils and ornaments he
may have about him when he wants TO
approach them.
These instruments register the varia-
tons brought about by magnetic
changes in the earth and atmosphere
and by them are adjusted the magnetic
instruments in general use, By the
records made by Instruments such as
these IT had been observed by Profess
sor Ellerman. of Mount Wilson obserya-
tory, that magnetic storms follow after
the appearance OF sunsp0ts, coming

ceeding the 1908 importatiOns by $12,-
GOO.
The increase in the Importation of
dairy products has also been fairly
steady. In 1907 it was 9,05S, in 1908
it was $305,O5l and in 1909 it was
$342,946 In 1907 53,s45 dozen of eggs
were imported as compared with 81, s47
dozens imported in 1909.
Packing house product importations
were enormous. Coffee importations
amounted to $S5,O57 during the three
years, this being a product which the
mainland itself imports and which
reaches the Islands third hand
The importation of fruits in 1909
amounted to $4,000, about $4,000
more than in 1907. Grain products were
imported to the extent of $500, 466 in
1909.
One curious feature of the figures are
that the importations during 1905 were
universally smaller than during either
1907 or 1909, the imuortation of the
latter year being universally greater
than in 1907.

1t may not be as apparent, but, as

sacrifice is goat, a turkey or other

drink, as sprinkled with the blood. The
place where these sacrifices are made

If a Tehuana bears grudge against

regularly forty hours after the. spots
appear. This has led very recently to
an interesting hypothesis, namely. that
the magnetic storms are the results of
ions thrown out from the sunspots,
forty hours being the exact time re-
quired for an ion to travel from the
sun to the earth. An ion, it may be ex-
planned, is the smallest division of mat
ter, being, according to scientific
theory, positive or negative electric
charges. The force thrown off by
radium is composed of dissemination
of ions, explain the scientists.
At one time it was thought that the
smallest division of matter was the
atom. Now it has been discovered that
the atom is capable of division and so
accurately has this been determined
that the divisions, the ions, of an atom
have been counted, in some instances
running up to a thousand.
Thus, under cover of the Sisal OBJ
servatory, are instruments at times
pelted by the ions direct from the sun
and. showing by their reflections Just
how hard these sun forces are at work
on the compasses of all the ships in
this particular portion of the globe.

THE YALE AND HARVARD.

During the week, The Advertiser
printed on reliable authority a state
ment that the Salt Lake Railroad and
the American Express Company We're
considering n proposition TO place their
new steamers, the Yale and the Har-
ward, on the San Pedro and Honolulu
run
This statement is authentic. Whether
the proposition will be finally put
through, of course, remains in doubt
but the fact remains that it is being
given the most careful and expert con
sideratioE. 1t has now become mat
ter of business only for the steamers
are already around the Horn.
The American Express Company has
given its assurance that it is agreeable
TO make the change should the business
be found TO warrant it, The following
extract from Coast exchange regards
the plans of the allied companies as at
present outlined:
"The American Express Company
will soon establish daily service by
steamship between San Francisco and

tions of this nature are a serious
menace to the financing of legitimate
enterprises.
While there are here and there cor
porations selling stock which are abso-
lutely fraudulent, claiming properties
they do not own or claiming fancy
values where none exists, this class is
greatly outnumbered by those which
offer propositions which have some lit
tie merit but which are really worth
less from an investment point of view.
For instance, a certain industrial or
ganiZation which had sold its shares in
almost every city and town in the
country was recently closed up by the
government authorities. The company
was selling its stock at five times its
par value and the par value was amply
high, goodness knows. In other words,
investors were paying for their interest
in this concern at the rate of a valua
ton, on the assets of the company of
$l00,000,000. Successful business and
professional men thought this stock a
good buy and are numbered among the
stockholders by the thousand. They
presumed it was legitimate because
they had perhaps seen the working of
the company appliances which were
and are today an undoubted success, as
they are in practical operation all over
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Also
they had seen certain reports nearly
every day furnished by this company
and published in the daily papers and
technical journals throughout the coun-
d. Il 80, Il. L..
aggregate profits this concern could
make in fifty years could not possibly
pay a respectable dividend on the in
vestment for just one year.
There is an oil company operating
here in California with the very com
mon capitalization of 1000 900 shares.
1t originally sold its stock at Toe per
share, which was abundantly high in
view of the fact that the company an
nounced that it had as yet produced no
oil. A few weeks ago it brought in
one well claimed TO produce 100 bar
rels of oil per day. Its promoters inn
mediately dumped" the stock to 75c
per share on this showing, thus placing
a valuation of three-quarteTs of a mil
lion dollars on the property. Now this
well with good luck would figure to
bring in some $4,000 per year. We
win say the expenses of the corporation
are 5000 per year, leaving $4,000 To
distribute as dividends. This would
give each shareholder lae dividend
Now, that is indeed a poor annual re
turn ON 75e. The two illustrations
above are actual circumstances and
are by no means rare. We believe thai

CENTRAL MARKET.

The foregoing figures are recommend
ed as good reading to the man whom
the central market committee selects
to expend that $500 in developing
market for small Hawaiian produce.
Assuming the following to be capable
of production in Hawaii, the attached
figures win give some idea of the
amount of money 1selessly sent to the
mainland during a period of three
years:
Butter, $45O,517.
Milk, S4ll,07S.
Eggs, S53,244.
Beans and peas, $l04,424,
Onions SOL $40.
Potatoes, $l79,9ll.
Exceedingly grand total, sl,25O,sl4
for garden truck and common dairy
products.
To that may be added the following,
all of which can be grown here, though
the best qualities might have to be i'm
ported.
Rice, $43.22S.
Coffee, S36,O57.
Total, $79,3sO.
The importations of rice during 1909
were far below that of 1907.
1t might be added that during those
three years, Hawaii imported 81 ,631,-
7S5 worth Of alcoholic liquors.
