The Cost of Rnising sheep.

In the dispatches in this issue OF
the Signal is a statement from w.
c. Barnes, representing President
Taft, to the effect that sheep C,n
be raised fer S15O per head. If Mr..
BARNES is correctly quoted he GER
tainly has another guess coming.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
cost of raising sheep in this coun-
try-and we can raise them as
cheaply here as anywhere on earth
lis ?250 per 1t cOsas the own
er 1925 for hay alone without con-
sidering summer pasture hired
help, interest on the investment in
stock and lands and buildings. Such
statements as the one made by Mr..
Barnes will do the sheep iduStry
great injury, and should be combat
ted by the sheep men Of the cOun-
try. If this man makes a report
to the president in accordance with
his published interview, and the
president ard congress should act
on his recommendation the sheep
industry of the United States would
be KILLED outright.-Weiser Signal.

Mr. Placier, "and there IS more noise

e1FFARp 8 RoTH,s WEEKLY
STOCK AND SUGAR REPo n

The entire stock list has been more
or less fiat daring the past week, owing
to the continued drop in the price of
raws, which fuctuated from 1920 last
Monday to 3.795c Friday. However,
the price yesterday rose to S.S45c,
which may be taken as an indication
that the market during the present
week will be quite active. The only
feature of the week from the stand
point of sales was the large number of
shares of Paauhau dealt in, about 1000
shares changing hands at figures rang
ing from $23 to $24.75; this stock was
purchased by San Francisco brokers.
We are informed that there is no rea-
son for this sharp advance, as there
are no dividends in sight this year. A
block of 500 shares of Honokaa was
sold at $11,75, which is $1.25 over and
above the last sale. This lot was also
sold to San Francisco brokers.

WATER IS VERY LOW
IN NAVAL ORYD0CK

President Dillingham; of the Hawa.
ian Dredging Company, who had the
contract for dredging the Pearl. Har.
Dor drydock site, received word yes.
terday from Contractor Smith of the
San Francisco Bridge Company, which
has the contract for constructing the
drydock, that the water in the first
enclosed section had been pumped to
very low depth and that there was
very little more to come. out.
The slowness of emptying out the
section is due to leaks developing.
which is something the contractoSs
have figured on, and are meeting. The
pumps have now to throw water mn 10
a great height, as the excavation bot.
tom is sixty feet from the surface of
the water outside.
Bottom may be reached today or to-
morrow. So far there are no indica-
tions of springs.

CARTER WILL RETURN
FROM kauai SUNDAY

Former Governor George R. Carter,
chairman of the new sanitary commits
sion did not return from Kauai yes
terday as it was reported he might do,
but will remain there till next Sunday.
The board of health will not await his
coming, but will start out, either today
or tomorrow, on tour of the district
here to decide upon what points to
tackle first in filing in swamp lands
and making things uncomfortable for
the mosquito family.
1t was thought in some official circles
that Mr.. Carter would come back be-
fore the board of health started this
new work and that there would be an
early opportunity to find out to what
extent the new sanitary commission
would cooperate with it in the task be-
fore it.
Mr.. Carter who, as chairman of the
sanitary commission, will have much
to say IN regard to the way the crusade
for better health conditions shall be con-
Quoted, will, without doubt, call an early
meeting of the new commission so that
no time will be wasted in getting the
campaign well under way.

part. of the country, has allowed grind
ing to be resumed in several districts.
Planters and cane growers are TAX
ing advantage of the moisture of the
soil to plant in cane the fields which
had been previously prepared to that
purpose and to put new ones under cul.
ture in order to increase paintings for
next years crop.
The campaign is nearing its end
earlier and more rapidly than it was
anticipated and it is likely that large
number of the plantations which sus.
pended grinding on account of the
rainy weather, will not resume it this
year, for want of cane.
A great number of plantations have
recently terminated their crop with q
decrease of 25 to 40 per cent in Their
production that had been assigned them
at the beginning of the campaign.
In view of the disastrous results OBJ,
tanned thus far the decrease in this
years crop compared to the previous
one is now reckoned at 80 per cent fol-
the whole Island and its total produc,
ton will not go over 100000 tons.
