subject of good roads should natural
ly come within the scope of this re-
port as the economical handling of
fertilizer, lumber and other material
is materially dependent upon them.
We commend it to your attention
Mr. Ogg believes, in regard to cut
ting, that practically the same meth
DDS are in use in every district of
the islands and have been for many
years. The only variation or improve
ment which might be mentioned is
the system of burning before cutting
which is now being done quite extern
sively. Uncertainty of weather condi-
tions makes it difficult to say how
much of a saving in labor is effected
by burning. In this connection he re-
lates some of the experience in Kau
with contractors. On the whole he
is of opinion that at least between
and per cent of labor can be saved
in the harvesting by burning before
cutting
On loading and transportation Mr.
Ogg says in part:
The three standard methods of
transportation from field to mill,
namely, fumes, railroads and trolley
wire, are each the very best under
their own particular conditions There
are. however, conditions in which per-
haps a combination of all might prove
to be very advantageous"
He gives an instance in that regard
and in conclusion says:
For transporting materials, other
than cane-such as fertilizer, manure
and firewood-the writer is firmly Of
the opinion that gasoline engines of
different types will be more in eyi-
dence as time goes on
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-05
MODERN MACHINERY PROPOSED
FOR USE IN THE CANE FIELDS

A glitteriug reward is assured by
the planters to the inventor who will
produce a cane-cutting machine AT
the present session of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association this fact
is brought out in report as appears
below Suggestions are also brought
forward for the use Of motor trucks
and gasoline engines in further solu-
ton of the highly important transpor-
tation problem.
]. Watt, chairman, presented the
report of the committee on cutting,
loading and transportation, signed by
himself alone and followed by a let
ter from W. G. Ogg on the subject.
Mr.. Watt says:
Cutting .-The matter of cutting re-
mains about the same as for the pre-
ceding two or three years, there be-
ing practically no new labor-saving
devices at present in use notwith-
standing the fact that a liberal reward
awaits the successful patentee. Where
fields are so situated that burning be-
fore cutting can safely be resorted to
a greater or less saving becomes pos
sible, depending upon local conditions,
but until we have a machine capable
of harvesting our cane regardless Of
the weight of cane per acre or the
condition of the cane, no great i'm
provement need be looked for.
"Loading.-The portable crane meth
cd of loading is becoming more uni
versally used and seems to give salts
faction where the country is of such
a character that frequent changes of
track are feasible, the shorter the sled
haul, the more economical this method
necessarily becomes, but is, of course
limited to plantations using railroads
or wagon roads. However, no changes
of interest in methods of loading have
been reported to your committee, and
this part of the work also remains
about as it has been
On the matter of general transpor-
tation he puts wagons and portable
fumes, where they can be used, in
the first place for economy, though
short packs and sled hauls, with pOrta,
BILE fumes near each other, are al
most as economical. Hauling by rail
is next mentioned, then wire trans
portation, when the grade from field
to mill allows of a gravity system
Mr.. Watt concludes:
"While considering the general CUES
ton of transportation it would be vel
to look into the great possibilities Of
the motor truck. Throughout the
farms of the West as well as on the
European continent we find the use
of these motor trucks rapidly replac
ing animal power, at a great saving
of time and money. This naturally
necessitates the building of good ser
viceable roads throughout the planta
tions, and your committee feels tina
well constructed well drained roaC
will more than repay the outlay. The

tically but one days work among her
friends on the Garden Island. Turrill
secured 1850 more votes yesterday,
and now stands fourth with 51,421
votes, against Miss Silva's 53.S52.
lnasmuch as the first ten in the list
at the close of the contest will receive
the Big Ten" prizes, it is easy to see
that the closeness of the leading
scores is a matter Of much moment to
the workers
OF course, there are prizes besides,
reserved for each of the separate
islands exclusive Of Oahu, which
will 90 to others outside Of the first
ten. These island prizes are trips to
Honolulu with weeks expenses paid
in a leading hotel, and a lot Of side
trips and other forms OF entertain
meut thrown i'm.
Books Are Popular.
The splendid list OF books which the
Star is offering as bonus prizes is prov,
ing popular Ten candidates have re-
ceived books in the first week the
book offer has been open, some of
them getting several. Miss Virginia
Silva, the lively Kauai hustler, has re-
ceived no less than eight Of these
splendid volumes, and has almost
enough votes for another Fred Tur-
rill has six due him, while others
have from one to three each. The fact
that the books are given as well as
the votes for the big prizes makes this
offer very attractive.
Almost everyone can pick up few
subscriptions Zone years new sub
scription to the daily is enough suf-
fcient to make 5000 votes, which gets
a book that was made to retail at from
$1.25 to $3.50. In this way every can.
didate is getting paid for his trouble
whether he is working for Il big prize
or not.

DENMARK.

Copenhagen.-Two sisters, who have
adorned the thrones of. Great Britain
and Russia, and their brother, the king
Of Greece, are gathered here, their
birthplace and their earliest home. The
family party was made complete when
Queen Alexandra arrived on the Brit
ish royal yacht Victoria end Albert,
today. Memories must crowd on the
sisters, of the days when their moth
err Queen Louise of Denmark, who
was rightly called 'the greatest match
maker the world ever saw" taught
them to make their own hats and
gowns. Queen Alexandra, widow,
mother and sister of king, is look
ing old. The smile that tNormans and
Saxons and Danes" 80 love, is faded.
She is clad still in deep mourning,
and has let her wish be known that
as little attention as possible be paid
her in public. The dowager czarina
came on the Russian imperial yacht,
Polar Sea, day or two ago. Her
majesty entertains but little, although
there are two bands of musicians on
the yacht. AS usual, a swarm of Rus
sian secret police hover around to
guard the dowager czarina. Indeed,
she and Queen Alexandra are, in a
sense, prisoners Of the police. The
royal ladies will remain on their
yachts for a week longer at least be-
fore they take up their residence in
the villa Hvidore, which is being made
ready for them.

News Of S Scandinavia,
Principal Happenings Of the Week
in the Scandinavian Countries.

DR.. Sigurd Ibsen, the son Of the
great poet, Henrik 1bsen, who was a
member Of the Norwegian cabinet
some time before the dissolution OF
the Swedish-Norwegian union in 1905,
IL causing quite stir in Scandinavia
by trying to prove that the Norwe.
CLANS made a great blunder when they
declared the absolute independence of
Norway without waiting for. Sweden
to agree to: formal treaty to the
same effect. He quotes the king and
the crown prince and other high au.
thorities to show that it was only
question of time when Sweden would
let Norway have a king of her own.
He also scores the treaty of integ.
rity between Norway and the great
powers as a cause of irritation in
Sweden. 1bsen proposes as a way
out of the difficulty to revise the
Karlstad treaty and abolish the treaty
Of integrity. A large number Of Nor
wegians agree with 1bsen, and the
Swedes are pleased to see that so
many Norwegians have such conf
dence in the Swedish spirit of fair
play in this most delicate political
matter. Some great Norwegian pa
pers stick to what has been done, and
characterize 1bsen's policy as the out
burst of the feelings Of a sorehead.

The recent elections of members oil
the riksdag resulted in pretty thor;

for the second time. Count Albert
A hrensvard. Swedish minister to the
United States, will become minister
OF foreign affairs. Other members Of
the new ministry are: War, DR.. D.
K. Bergstrom; justice, NJ. Landstrom:
marine, Deputy Jacob LARSON; inte-
rior, Deputy P. A. v. Schotte; finance.
Baron A. T. Adelswaerg. The cleo
tons which resulted in the victory for
the Liberals were the first that have
taken place under the new elective
system adopted about two vars ago.
That system extended the suffrage
somewhat, reduced the advantage CIV
en- to voters of large wealth, and ap-
piled a system of proportional repre-.
sentation, by which the minority in
each electorate has representatives
according to the number of votes cast.
Under this system the Liberals won
the election.

Minneapolis. = The Northwestern
National Life Insurance Com.
pany of Minneapolis has placed $780,
900 insurance on the life of Thomas
L. Shevlin in favor of the Shevlin
company, new corporation of which
Mr.. Shevlin is president. -.
One of the. most recent develop
ments in the life insurance field is the
adaptation of life insurance to the
protection of business interests. This
is the third 100000 policy placed by
L. K. Thompson, president of the Min
neapolis company, the other risks be-
ing on the life Of A. c. Loring for the
benefit of the Pillsbury Flour Mills
Company, and on the life of ]. H. Nc
MILAN in favor of the Cargill Elevator
Company. .--
In each of these cases the North
western National used the policy for
100000 dividing the rest of the risk
among other leading companies. The
Shevlin insurance goes to the North
western, Mutual, Equitable, Pruden-
tial, Travellers, Home, Penn and Ma
tional. .-.
The Shevlin Company, which has
just been organized, is a holding CON-
pany devoted entirely to the various
interests of T. H. and T. L. Shevlin.
It has no direct connection with the
Shevlin Carpenter Company, except
that it's business is the care of all of
the real estate and other properties
of T. H. and T. L. Shevlin.

ROBINSON GOING FAST.
Mississippi River Aviator Making Up
for Lost Time.

Mississippi River Aviator Making Up
for Lost Time.
Minneapolis, Oct. 20.-Hugh Robin.
son, who is flying from Minneapolis
to New Orleans, is now three hundred
miles down the river, having made
two hundred miles on his second day.
The aviator started on the second
leg of his voyage from Winona at
8:17, where he had been laid up due
to an accident to his hydroplane and
the impossible weather. He had flown
1926 miles from Minneapolis.
Robinson reached Prairie du Chen
at 11:00 a. m. and left 1 :03 p. m. bound
for Dubuque. He reached an e1eva.
ton of 1000 feet and got away at a
speed of about mile a minute. He
spent the night in Dubuque, 293 miles
from Minneapolis.
Half way between Winona and La
Crosse, a bolt in the front. controller
of his machine loosened and fell from
the rigging rendering this piece of the
apparatus useless. Robinson found it
impossible to manipulate the plane.
The craft was 5000 feet in the air
and making mile or more a minute.
Robinson realized the gravity of the
situation, but without checking his en-
gines leaned far forward in his seat
and found that he could direct the
course of the airship by throwing his
weight forward and bending all his
energies to the manipulation of the
rear control.

FILM SMOKE sTARTLEs ANokI
ExpIodes in New Picture Theater,
Causing Stampede.

Anoka. - A fire in moving pic.
ture theater caused considerable ex-
element in this city. A film ex-
ploded in a new picture show house
early in the performance. The oper-
ator threw the blazing film out of the
booth into the entrance way and this
startled the audience, which consist
ed of about 200 persons. People kept
their seats, however, until it was seen
that the film had set fire to the paper
on the wall. ...-.--~
Then there was wild rush for both
front and rear exits. Men, women
and children struggled with each other
in an effort to reach the outside.
Strangely, no one was injured, though
it was much-tousled and excited
crowd that finally found itself on the
sidewalks. The fire damage was triv

agreed to pay approximately the
amount of which Bren alleges he was
robbed early last June.
The regents have maintained that
the company is liable whether Bren
was robbed or whether he embezzled
the money, as is charged in indict-

Fergus Falls.-Government survey
ors have been at work for some time

The surveys contemplate a rise of
three feet in the natural level of the
lake, and dam of considerable size
will have to be put in if the water is
to be raised to the height indicated.
The government contemplates making

back water which would tend to cause
floods in the Red river valley in the
spring and to let it out when it is
needed in the summer
