FOUR OUT OF ELEVEN CASES
OF SCARLET FEVER ARE FATAL

Chief Sanitary Inspector Trevenen
sent in written report to the Board
of Health from Maui yesterday. The
epidemic of scarlet fever at Lahaina
was the main topic. Eleven cases
were reported. OF these, four pa
tients died from the disease. They
were all Japanese.
A quarantine has been established
in one of the Pioneer Sugar Mills
camps. Actual patients are confined
in one place, the contacts being To-
Gated in another enclosure.
All the houses from which patients
were taken have been fumigated, and
every precaution has been taken to
combat the sickness. The Board of
Health officials report that the plan.
tation authorities have helped in
every possible way. Teams, wagons
and other necessary things have been
Cheerfully supplied
DR.. Burt and DR.. Hayes, with the
assistance of Inspector Treyenen, now
have the situation well in hand, so
that no further spread Of the scarlet
fever is feared
President Pratt, of the Board of
Health, who is now on Hawaii, will
be sent a full report on the Lahaina
sickness. DR.. Pratt expects TO be in

A Record Crop.
The past year has been one of the
most prosperous in the history of the
industry in these islands. The 1901
crop, as shown by the annual state
ment is 566,S21 tons, the largest in
our history. These figures do not rep
resent the total output, however, as
several mills had not finished grind
ing on September 80, the date of this
report. The total crop harvested from
canes grown for this crop will be ap-
proXimately $4,000 tons. At the be
ginning of the present season we were
facing a basis of 3.42, and the outlook
at that time indicated an average
price for the crop of between 31a and
3A cents. Contrary to these expecta-
tions, however, the average basis price
for the entire crop will be aboul ABS,
while a maximum price of $50 was
