MANY MAY WANT
SANITATION MAP

The new sanitation maps Of Homo
lulu which are being made under the
direction of the special commission
created by the last legislature seem
likely to be in demand for other pur-
poses than those of the health cam
paign. Already the Territorial tax
Office has been looking at the new maps
as far as they are completed, and wants
to make use of them, and it is ex.
pected that they viii prove very use
full to real estate dealers and insurance
men.
The craftsmen who are working un-
der Professor Keller of the College of
Hawaii, who is a member of the board
of health and of the sanitary commits
sion also, are about keeping pace with
the men who are bringing in data.
There are six men ont. Their reports
are being received and checked by
Sanitary Officer II. w. G. Foster.
There are forty-three questions on
the blank forms which the survey men
are filing out, one form for each build
ing throughout the entire city. When
filled out, the form constitutes a COM
plete description of every structure,
with names of owners, etc, so that
the map, with key, win give far more
detail than any real estate or insur-
ance map of Honolulu now in exist
ence.
eve estimated that there would be
about eighteen or twenty thousand of
these reports" said Professor Keller,
and ordered 10000 blanks. From in
quiries now being made, it seems that
the maps will be wanted by various
people besides the sanitary commits

averages, the mean average showing
chat it takes S.416 tons of cane to make
one ton of sugar. He also says that:
The past season has been noticeable
Cor the employment for the first time on
record of an eighteen-roller mill tlfis
combination worked for part of the sea-
son only, the rest of the crop at this
factory being treated by a fifteen-rolIer
plant. Eight other mills employed
swelve-roller combinations, the same
being used for half the crop of another
mill. Five mills used less than nine
rollers, the balance of the factories
using nine-roller combinations with or
without crusher. !"
Five Years of Work.
A number of tables follow, the deduc
ton being that the balance in favor of
the eighteen rollers is one and three.
tenths per cent obtained under very
nearly equal conditions with the fifteen
roller train.
The report is full of technical tables
and is the result of five years of work
by Mr. DEER. One of the things which
he confesses Is a puzzle is the disap.
pearanee of certain percentage Of
solids IN the process by which molasses
is recovered.
This morning the association viii
hold an executive meeting to discuss
the important question of labor for the
plantations. Especially will the cues.
ton of the continued employment of
Filipino labor be thrashed out.
This evening will be held the annual
banquet of the association this time in
the Commercial Club, and while the
banquet will be informal so far as SET
speeches are concerned, the time that
will follow is expected to be oven
more so.

been actively engaged in the design of
new machine and have thoroughly
canvassed the market for a suitable
motive power. A machine Incorporate
ing some Of the ideas is now well under
way, and we hope that it may be in
operation in the shop of the builders
during the meeting of the planters ;
association.
As soon as this machine is tried
out, the committee propose to build a
second machine, correcting the weak
nesses of the first machine and giving
the second machine a trial.
VIII Use Electricity.
a specification has been drawn up
to be submitted to eastern builders for
loader embodying many present feat
ures of the Wilson and Webster loader,
but to be operated with electric motors.
''The committee is also developing
a small hoist to be mounted on wheels
and operated with gasoline engine,
for use in the Hilo district and other
districts where gulch cane is to be har-
vested. This machine viii follow the
lines of machine which has been in
successful operations at Onomea Sugar
Company.
eve have had notices in various
trade papers stating that we would be
very glad to consider and investigate
the merits of any machines which
would be suitable for our purposes.
Many replies were received, but none
of the drawings or descriptions of APP
paratus submitted warrant considera-
ton until our present loader is com
pleted.
We believe that the Wilson and
Webster loader should be thoroughly
developed and that it can be brought
ITO successful operation.
When the meeting adjourned the
members of the association went in au-
tomobiles to the works of the Cation,
Neill Company, where the loader is
being built; and made a thorough in
spection of it. All of the members
seemed to have good idea of it and
believed that it world be eventually of
great value to the plantations in hand

of the committee wiz be continued.
Sugar Output In Detail.
A report that was listened to with
the greatest attention was that by Noel
DEER, of the planters experiment sta
ton, upon the annual synopsis of mill
data for 1911. This report goes into
the production of sugar by every plan
tation mill in the association, the purity
of the juice extracted from varieties
of cane and the percentage of efficiency
of the various rolior trains.
Briefly some of the points made by
Mr.. DEER are to the effect that the
percentage of fiber in the cane this year
is higher than for any previous year.
while as to the mixed Juice the percent.
age Of sucrose is less, but the purity Is
the highest for five years, since the ex-
periments in this line began. Contin-
uing he said:
,fThe extraction of sugar at the mills
is lower this year than since 1907; this
is due. ] believe, to the higher fiber in
the cane this year and not due to any
falling of In actual milling; this fall
IN the extraction Il all the more
necuiiar since there has been a steady
increase in the percentage of canes

The lower percentage Of sugar IN
the canes Is reflected IN the tons cane

highest since 1907. -

MANILA, December 7.-The Moros
have again taken the warpath near

have been sent to the scene.
The special cause of the unrest in

their refusal to submit to an order for

Importance Of Water.

W. T. Martin, chief of the water
bureau of the geological survey, made
an exceedingly able and interesting adj
dress regarding the water resources of
the Islands and the need of the plan
tations to conserve the supply, stating
that under the present methods there is
a loss of from twenty-four to sixty per
cent of water in the irrigating bitches.
Upon his introduction by President
F. M. Swanzy, Mr.. Martin gave a sum
mary of the work of his department,
especially as regards the measurements
in irrigating bitches, in which, he said,
startling ineficiency exists" find
ing in one ditch loss of forty-three
per cent in thirteen ont of the eighteen
miles of the ditch. He stated that the
sugar men could probably save millions
of dollars worth of water by greater
efficiency in irrigating operations
Mr.. Martin criticized the weir sys-
TENS in use in the Territory, adding
that the system on the Hamakna
ditch was the best he had found. He
believed that a system of measure
ments for tracing the seepage of
water from the bitches would do much
to determine the responsibility for this
leakage. He also proposed the extern
sion of the reservoir systems for con
serving the water supply. He dwelt
somewhat upon the technicaities of
measurements, explaining the need of
more accurate data to secure the best
results.

Alright StorehouBes.

John t. Moir, chairman of the com
mittee on warehouses for storage of
raw sugar, read an interesting series
of letters in his report regarding the
building of such storehouses in the
manner to prevent sweating of sugar
in storage. The consensus of opinion
is that these buildings should be as
alright as possible to keep out moist
ure, which the sugar absorhs from the
air in this climate
One of the important reports was
also one of the shortest. In was that
of the committee on labor saving de-
vices, but the report was practically
confined to one machine, that of the
Wilson and Webster cane loader. A.
Gartley, chairman of the committee,
presented the report, which was in

Planters Association Acts Upon

and Forests.

Percentages Of Production In
Various MlIIs-Sesslon on
Labor Today.


Many important reports were acted
upon by the members Of tho Hawaiian
Planters Association yesterday, which
was the third day Of It's annual meeting,
two Of the most important being those
ON labor saving devices and the annual
synopsis of mill data for the season
Of 1911.
At the morning session special action
was taken upon the report Of the COM
mittee on forestry and the address Of
Ralph s. HOsmer, superintendent of for
estry, made before the association on
Tuesday, in which he said: cit is high
time that every plantation here repre-
sented should, in the terms Of the
street, get busy with forest work, and
that at once.
Acting upon this problem the asso-
citation passed comprehensive resolu-
ton, in which it is recognized that the
subject of forestry is one of the most
important with which the sugar plant
eTs have to deal, because of the close

water supply and the need for fuel.
For Definite Action.
The resolution binds the association
to take definite action through a spe-
cial committee or otherwise, on the
recommendations made for the intro
duction of insect eating birds; financial
assistance providing additional equip
ment to the territorial division of for
estry for growing tree seedlings for
forest paintings, and that the individual
plantations pay greater attention to
tree planting and to protecting the ma
tive forests by fencing.
The resolution also approved the
adoption by the Territory as its definite
policy of the suggestion that as far as
practicable the revenues derived by the
government from leases or licenses of
waters flowing from forest reserves be
used for forest work, and that the
trustees so recommend to the appro-
pirate territorial officials.
Following upon the question of for
ests and their water conserving quail
ties the report of the committee on Gull
tivation, fertilization and irrigation on
irrigated plantations was read by
Andrew Adams, its chairman, following
much along the lines Of previous re-
ports on the same subject.

Of the turbulence of the political
