rbs matter of interstate commerce

PLANTATION STORE PRICES.

The matter of plantation stores sell.
ing at cost was practically passed by
without decision, by the merchants last
week. Opposition to the selling at cost
policy has died out, and the whole dis
cussion seems to have been abortive
Mr. Davies, speaking for the planta-
tions delivered something of a solar
plexus to those who complain of selling
at cost, when he remarked that he
thought the independent stores, which
had been reported as complaining
would be Every pleased to sell at the
prices which plantation stores found
represented cost after allowing for ex
penses bad debts, etc. The fact that
the independent stores flourish close by
plantation stores in many places where
the plantation stores do not report
profits, confirms this view.

come from the money which the rail
road is putting in circulation. The bust
ness men throughout the town feel that
the good has only commenced but al
ready the effect is being noticed.
Manager Guard. of the Shipman
Market, stated last week to the Herald
that during the month of June the
concern had done the largest business
of any month during the existence of
the firm. He laid the increase in trade
entirely to the construction work which
is being done by the railroad. He stat
ed that the business was coming in
from all along the line and that he
expected to see the present month show
a still better business.
Manager Wears, of the Hilo En-
porium, was another one with the same
tale to tell. The big department store
did more business in May than it has
ever done, the start of the present
month promising even better. Mr..
Wears also laid the increased sales to
the credit of the work being done by
the railroad.
Nd. Holmes, of the firm Of f. \.
Holmes & Co, had the following to
say:
Yes. our business has been increas-
ing steadily and for the last few
months each one has been better than
the last. The Islands are having the
greatest prosperity which has ever
visited them and we are feeling it. l
can see no reason that it should drop
away for some time to come. Without
doubt the railroad has done a great
deal to make business pick up in Hilo
and when the Hamakua branch is com
pleted it viii be even better.
Practically all the business houses
/ in H1o have the same tale TO tell,
They have found the sales constantly
and steadily increasing.
There is no suspicion Of boom. but
the increase is a natural and healthy

enough was shown to justify a more
severe test, and Oahu plantation viii
give it.
In the practical test of last Friday
thousand pounds of cane was ''load-
ed in little over two minutes. This,
as all plantation managers admit. was
a record. The factors to be considered
are the time and labor needed for plac-
ing the machine and the difference in
working under ordinary field condi-
tions as compared to those on the level
floor of the iron works yard.

WATER FOR SUGAR LANDS.

Another big water supplying scheme
is developing for the benefit of plan

ditch work, and is planning to open
the ditch on July Fourth. 1t is de-

it will deliver water on vast area

Oahu and Onomea prices have drop

the fall was due merely to prospects

had indicated. but in neither case was
it entirely unexpected. Weather con

that the crops viii probably be under

MAHUKA SITE.

Intelligent discussion of the Mahuka

impossible by reason of a feeling of
suspicion regarding efforts to change
the plans, and a feeling also that any
further efforts to modify the federal
government S purchase means delay.
The old cry that there is something

ton was raised, as soon as it was sug-
gested that the Mahuka site was not
large enough. The only proposition be-
fore the authorities in Washington was
one to add to the Mahuka site As fer
as appeared, there was not any sug-
gestion of any change in the site. But
the Mahuka site partisans took the
alarm, and the result was that the di-
rectors of the merchants association
sent a cable to Washington practically
asking the architect for the federal
building for Honolulu to cut down his
plans for the building rather than at,

MORE OIL COMPANIES.

The success of the Humauma Oil
Company in floating its stock here has
been followed by the appearance of
more companies in the local market,
seeking to get the surplus capital which
it is understood Honolulu holds. The
Humauma company, representing an in
vestment of about 100000 locally, is
now practically an assured success as
far as financing 1t goes, It will be a
Honolulu concern, and it numbers
among its subscribers many leading
business men. Within the week, sub
scriptiors have been asked for two
more California companies, and local
men with idle money need have no diff
