KUKUI NUTS
HAVE VALUE

chance to make good money is
believed to be going to waste in the
thousands of kukui nuts which are al
lowed to rot away all over the islands.
E. o. Hall & Soon several days ago re-
ceived an inquiry from a Philadelphia
manufacturing concern as to whether
the firm could supply any candle nut
oil.
81 understand that kukui nut oil Is
candle nut oil, said E. o. White, vice
president of the firm, to The Star
Here is a chance for the small farm
er with lot of kukui nuts on his up
lands, as there seems to be a demand
for the oil in 5000 barrel lots. We
have informed our inquirer that the
oil is not to be had at present"
DR.. e. V. Wilcox, director of the
Federal Experiment station, was ask
ed regarding the value of the kukui,
and replied that the nut contained a
very valuable oil, especially desirable
because of it's rapid drying.
"The main commercial use of the oil
would be for paint" said Dr. Wilcox
con account of it's unusually rapid
drying, There is a somewhat similar
nut in China, which is used for oil.
"All that is needed to make use of
the thousands of nuts here is the ma
chinery necessary to extract the oil
This calls for crusher, and then ma.
chinery to extract the oil, either by
heat or by pressure | cannot say how
expensive such machinery would be
but have no doubt that many nuts
could be collected very cheaply. They
do not spoil rapidly and those which
have been on the ground quite Iona
g time would be good for oil"

LEGISLATURE
APPROPRIATING
NINE MILLIONS

Appropriations thus far proposed in
the House, of Representatives amount
to $S,941, 900, against a probable cur
rent revenue of four million for the
biennia period. And the Senate makes
a fair second with proposals for 81
623, 146. How much these sums may
be duplication of each other is not
learned. Chairman Rice of the Fin
ance Committee gave out the figures
as above stated just before adjourn
ment as noon today,
Towse tried a joke on the House,
when the bill to define the city limits
of Hilo was about TO be voted on. He
sent up an amendment to innert after
the description given the words, land
$4,000 feet into the air from any point
within the metes and bounds herein
indicated, for the purpose of control
ling aerial navigation and the height
of buildings within said city of Hilo."
Speaker Holstein ignored the
amendment with a look Of pain and
called the vote on passing the bill.
Alfonso, father of the bill, interject-
ed that he was about to move that
the amendment and it's mover both be
laid ON the table.
A fair amount of business was done
this morning without much talk on
anything, although the gag was two
or three times applied in the form
of the previous question moved by
Alfonso.
Sheldon warmed up a bit over
Cookies objection to his Waimea park
bill, that the description of the land
was Inadequate. He was further wor'
ried by a large number reserving their
votes on the first call, but in the end
Cooke threw the sole negative vote
against it.
Coney wanted the members of the
health and police committee excused
this afternoon to meet with the Board
of Health. The Speaker quoted the
rule against committee meetings while
the House was in session, and as no
much unfinished business was il
sight the House took recess until II
o'clock tomorrow.

LABOR IN CUBA, LOUISIANA
ARGENTINE AND CANARY ISLANDS

In regard to Cuban ana other labor
conditions, Dr. Victor Clark, of the
board or immigration, today had the
following interesting remarks to
make: "The Cuban crop, it was esti-
mated when / was there, would be
about 20 per cent short on account OF
the drought. The cane was much
smaller than usual, and the laborers
were paid by piecework, so much a
ton for cutting and loading. There
fore, they were not able to earn the
usual wages.
"The prices of many provisions were
quite as high as they are in Hawaii,
though on account of the greater
amount of small farming in Cuba,
there are plenty of local supplies OF
vegetables and fruits. Thus the plan
tation laborers are enabled to econo-
mize by purchasing these things from
the farmers direct instead of from the
stores This MAKES the laborers in
Cuba much more contented, and it
gives them a greater variety of diet.
"There were more Spanish laborers
in Cuba during the present season
than could find work-in certain dis
tricts-thls was not general through
out the island. The anxiety of immi-
grants to get away from Spain to

"In Louisiana found that the Ital-
