REAL ESTATE
IS NOT INJURED

Any fears that might have been
felt that the fever scare would have
the effect of depressing the real estate
market have been dissipated by the
tone of the market during the past
week and the volume of land trans
actions. Instead of falling off, sales
have actually increased and there is
an eXuberant feeling of confidence
among the real estate men that the
season is going to be the best they
have ever experienced.
I'VE actually sold more lots last
week. said Charles Stanton of the
Kaimuki Land Company this morning,
than we have any previous week
during the past six months. There )
every indication that from now on
real estate is going to be very active.
look for the best season we have
ever had"
A. II. Dondero made a statement to
the same effect His company, he
says, had a good week and has every
expectation of doing a big volume Of
business from now on.
F. e. Steere, of the Warehouse
Trust Company, likewise entertains
no apprehensions for the future. 1t
looks like a good season to him and
he expects to do a record volume of
business.
IF no more cases of fever develop"
said J. W. Pratt, "and we succeed in
getting rid of the mosquitoes, as 4!
hope we will, it will be the best thing
that ever happened 10 HoRolulu Look

Panama have got through cleaning out
the mosquitoes. If we do the same,

our greatest drawback and, if we get
rid of it, this city ought to go ahead

Sewage and Garbage
Disposal in Berlin

The system of sewage disposal in
Berlin is admirable. No sewage is
permitted to be discharged into the
river or canals that pass through, the
city. 1t is all pumped through large
pipes to the city sewage farms (ries-
elfelder) located within a few miles
to the north and south of Berlin. The
farms have an area of about 10000
acres, of which about 5000 acres are
leased in small holdings to farmers
and the remainder cultivated by the
municipal authorities.
While the city administration SUI
pervises the cleaning of the streets,
the disposal of the sweepings and
refuse gathered is left to various con-
tractors. Some of these concerns
have purchased barren and unpro-
ductive land to be used as dumping
grounds, and as the garbage contains
principally sand and horse manure It
is exceedingly valuable as a fertilizer
and filler for such lands.
BY law and by municipal police reg
ulations, house owners are obliged to
provide for the removal of the waste
from their buildings. For this, pur-
pose they have formed an associa-
ton that includes most of the owners
in Berlin. This association has made
a contract for thirty years, twenty
one of which are still to run, with a
limited liability company, which was
formed for the purpose of disposing

JAMAICA To CO
MORE INTO SUGAR

The continued rise in the price Of
sugar. evidently caused by the short
age in the beet crop, has encouraged
the planters of Jamaica not only to
extend its cultivation, but also to use
improved machinery In the annual
report of the collector general of Gus
toms for this island the value of SUI
gar exported during 1910 was stated
to be $1.1O5,5SO, whereas in 1909 it
was only 1891 $50.
Another central factory will short
ly be established. Different species
Of canes have been planted, and tests
will be made when they mature as
to their sacCharine-prOducin qualities.
There are 90 sugar plantations in
the island, with an estimated area of
some $4,000 acres under cultivation;
but these estates nave available lands
suitable for the growth of the sugar
cane almost equal in area to those
now under cultivation, with other
fields in their vicinity either in grass
or lying fallow, and no doubt with
the present outlook all such lands
will shortly be brought under sugar
and central factories erected. Capital
from abroad will doubtless be invested
in the sugar industry, now that such
handsome profits are made, with ev-
cry prospect of their continuing for
some time.
The machinery comes principally
from Glasgow In this connection.
prominent planter, replying to an in
quiry as to why Scottish machine
manufacturers were able to obtain all
the orders for Quitting a sugar fac
tory. stated that it was because the
British manufacturer supplied boilers,
crushers, vacuum pans, pumps, etc,
in fact everything required, and kept
in stock spare parts, whereas in Am
erica one must go to different manu-
facturers to obtain separate parts of
the equipment 1t is obvious, there
fore, that preference will always be
given to a manufacturer who supplies
in toto all the various apparatus for
the equipment of an up-to-date sugar
factory
British firms in many instances send
out an expert engineer to superin-
tend the erection of the machinery
and to see that everything is in work
ing order. Often, too, special terms
are arranged between the sellers and
buyers, under which payment extends
over two or three crops. The present
time appears opportune for the sale

DEVELOPMENT
IN PHILIPPINES

During the course of an address to
a distinguished body of Manila citi-
zens, the Hon. w. Cameron Forbes,
governor general of the Philippine
Islands, said that since the American
occupation 445 miles of railroad have
been added to the miles in operation,
or a total increase of 366 per cent.
The railway served a population of
$685. in 1898. The total population
now catered for is 100000. The gov
ernment's contracts with steamers
have resulted in a regular and better
service, and the rates for merchant
marine are more reasonable. Unfor-
tunately, the present method of hand
ling freight leaves much to be de
sired The connection between the
existing warehouses, retail stores, and
the river wall is poor, and will re-
main so until the railroad is got in.
He had many times publicly and pri-
vately expressed the attitude of the
government toward the coming of cap
ital. They not only welcome it, but
are willing to go out of their way to
attract it by expressing the friendly
attitude of the government.

HEALTH
PREFERRED STOCK

The tone Of the stock market re
mains weak, though there was no per-
ceptible decline in prices offered to.
day Sales, however, were light, the
feature of the day being the exchange
of $4,000 of McBryde 6's at par. In
fact, there seemed to be more call for
bonds than for stocks. One other
bond sale was recorded, that of $1,000
Kauai Railway 6's at $3.50.
Brokers express themselves as an
ticipating renewed activity almost any
day now, though they profess them
selves unable wholly to account for
the present quiescence.
Oahu and Waialua were the only
stocks exchanging hands today. Oahu
sold at 1925, three blocks, one of five
shares, one of thirty and one of thirty
five changing hands at that. figure.
Five small sales of Waialua, aggregat7
ing thirty-five shares at STA, were
recorded.
A part of the quietness in the stock
market may be accounted for by the
fact that many of the business men
are actively engaged in the campaign
to rid Honolulu of mosquitoes, and
they are devoting their principal ener-
gies to that work just now rather than
to endeavoring to acquire more money,
The health of the community is para
mount in the minds of most of them
to business considerations. With the
principal work Of the mosquito cam
paign concluded, there may be some
increase in activity in the stock mar
ket.

GENERAL s WIDOW
MANILA FAVORITE

Manila Cablenews-American: Among
the passengers who are leaving to-
morrow on the transport Logan for
the homeland is Mrs, Nellie Y Egg
bert, widow of General Egbert who
fell in the early days Of the insur-
rection at Malinta and who was reck-
oned one of Americas finest gentle
men and most accomplished soldiers,
Mrs. Egbert is now librarian of the
American Circulating Library of this
city, an institution which she founded
and which owes in large measure,
its exceedingly marvellous growth and
development to her fostering care and
assiduous attention. Intended at first
as a source of supply for good reading
material for the soldiers and sailors
the library soon became valuable
and cherished adjunct to the life and
comfort of the American continent
lresiding in Manila in those early days.
| Mrs Egbert, who goes to the states
| for a vacation of six months, during
which time she will visit relatives
and friends many of whom she has
not seen for years, has endeared her
| self to almost everybody in the city
and will be sadly missed while away
and eagerly welcomed when she re-
turns to her duties as chief of the
| american Circulating Library in this
lefty.

of household and other waste They
have erected building for the pur-
pose of handling the garbage, disin.
fecting it, and separating the differ
ent articles, such as metal, rags, and
bones. All the refuse is then dis
posed of for fattening hogs, fertiliz-
ing, paper making, or for grading
purposes, etc.
Ingeniously contrived wagons are
used in collecting the garbage. In
every building large sheet-iron tanks
or buckets are placed. The daily
refuse is thrown into these tanks,
which are capable of holding 100 or
200 pounds of ashes and garbage, and
which close with a lid. The ashes
and garbage are placed in separate
receptacles. On certain mornings of
the week the tanks are collected by
wagons accompanied by three or four
men. The wagons are large and
tightly covered. A chain elevator is
arranged so that a bucket can he

wagon and then raised and dumped

any of the dust to escape.
