for visitors over one Of the largest
and finest views of Honolulu and en-
virons.
A special committee, with w. Nc
Pherson as chairman, was appointed
to see about gettino gas into the dis
trict.
The delegation to the last meeting
of the Board of Supervisors reported
on the status of the fire station mat
ter.
There was a general discussion on
roads, which resulted in the passage
of two motions. One was to bring
/ the matter of obtaining the latest and
best data upon road construction from
mainland sources to the attention of
Oahu Central Improvement Commit
tee. The other was to instruct the
committee on roads, transit and water
supply to press the road needs of the
district upon the Board of Supervisors.
What the club particularly wants is a
regular monthly appropriation for
roads, to be expended upon such con
struction as the cub may designate
from time to time.
The board of directors was instruct
ed to take steps for visit of the club
in a body to the next semi-monthly
meeting of the supervisors, and select
the spokesman for the occasion.
In the matter of incorporation, the
club rescinded it's former action and
instructed the board of directors to
procure a charter of incorporation
without a provision for the issue OF
capital stock.
Attention was called to published
statement that the club was engaging
in politics. Without making formal
statement of it's attitude on the mat
ter, the sense of the meeting was that
anything of the nature of party poll
ties has been, is now and will con
tinue to be tabu.

Improvement in other countries, not
being satisfactorily ascertainable un-
til the harvesting of the roots begins a
month hence.
No one who IS well informed pre-
diets a smaller total outturn in Eur
ope than 100000 tons sugar, and if
such a quantity is made along with
increased cane crops, the present
prices more than discount the expect
ed European crop shortage of 100000
tons, but prices may go still higher,
as we have not enough sugar at pres
ent produced in the United States or
its possessions, or in Cuba, with whom
we have a reciprocity treaty, to sue
cessfully compete and keep prices
within reasonable bounds. This is an
indication of how we would be at the
mercy of the European markets if all
the duty is taken off sugar in the
United States and our domestic indus
try destroyed.

cry, when our own crops will be COM

WHAT FREE SUGAR
WOULD DO TO US

Willett & Gray, August 24.-Raws-
We have to report further rise in
prices during the week under review.
The recent advance has been phe.
nomenal. Starting on June 10, when
spot quotations were basis of 3.S6c for
SO deg. test, the upward movement
has continued without any reaction un-
til August 81, when &c was paid, the
present nominal quotation being the
highest quotation on record since Jan
uary-March, 1905, when there was a
million-ton shortage in the European
beet crop.
The weather in Europe has become
cooler, but with only very light rain
here and there. 1t is getting so late
in the season that general rains are
not much desired, as they may start a
second growth, reduce the percentage
of sugar in the roots and do more
harm than good in some parts.
There seems to be no question but
that the crop in some countries will be
very short, the extent of the damage
done and the possible partial offset by

that the flow was under control, and
that the oil, which is of high grade,
was being pumped into steel tanks.
This well is near the gasser, which

WADLEIGH CASE IN COURT.
Seventy-f1ve Men Examined Before
Suitable jury Was Found.


Mankato, March 1o-Harve B.
Wadleigh is being tried before Judge
r. NJ. Picker for the murder of Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. Bales of this county
on January 26. About rs men were
examined before a suitable jury could
be found. This required day and a
half. The court room is crowded all
day and intense interest is manifested
The defence is making a strong in
sanity plea.
About daybreak of January 26.
Wadleigh arose and went to the Bales
home about a quarter of a mile away
and shot the old people. He also tried
to kill the 15-year-old boy who was
staying with them, but the boy es-
capped through the timber. Bales and
Wadleigh were the best of friends
and no motive has been esta blished
for the double murder. Wadleigh had
shown evidences of insanity for some
months. Although only 36 years of
age, he was very wealthy, having ac-
cumulated practically all of his for
tune within a few years, dealing in
land and live stock. He is unmar-
ried Until within few weeks he
was a person of striking appearance
having unusual height and physique,
but now he is weak and emaciated, a
nervous wreck. The evidence shows
that he was addicted to drink and
drugs,
