$4,000 TONS GET BENEFIT
fFrom Thursday,a Adrrtiser. }

One hundred and forty-six thousand
tons of the Hawaiian sugar shipped to
the mainland win get the quotation Of
4.92 or better and that means that
there win be some millions of dollars
more coming to the plantations than
last year. The crop is extra large and
the prices the highest for years. AS
the planters expected to realize only
$50 for this years crop, the feeling of
citation in sugar circles is justified.
Figures given out by the Sugar Fac
tors Company yesterday indicate that a
large proportion Of the entire crop is
being delivered at what is considered
the "abnormal" price and that this
means large revenue which was total
ly unexpected, particularly in view of
the labor situation. Labor conditions
have not been of the best in the Islands
and yet the plantations have yielded
more sugar and the estates are in better
condition, due somewhat TO rainfalls at
periods of the year when unexpected,
but beneficial. and because of the con
tinual rise in the price.
The Sugar Factors Company up to
August 81 shipped out 429, 400 tons rep
resenting a part of the crop of 1911,
and they expect when the season closes
to have shipped out about 475,OOO tons
as against $4,000 tons for last season,
an increase of $1,000 tons, representing
eighty-three per cent of the total output
for the whole Islands.
For 1912 it is safe to say that the
Sugar Factors win ship about ass, 900
to 100000 tons, according to present
estimates, which are unofficial. Because
the coming season win yield banner
crop, the shippers have to look far
ahead to get the output across the water
in due time. The American Hawaiian
company is contemplating an eleven in
stead of a twelve-day schedule, and
will probably also ship two or three
eargoes in American Hawaiian steamers
via the Magellan route, in addition to
$4,000 tons via Cape Horn in the same
six sailing vessels which carried cargoes
Ehis year.
The Sugar Factors expect to com
meDce moving the 1912 crop about De-
cember /, or two weeks earlier than
last season.
Already there are $4,000 tons Of sugar
in at 4.92 or better and there is yet to
come reports on 100000. On August
81 there were $4,000 tons of sugar from
Hawaii afioat, Of which $4,000 were
going via Tehuantepec; IL, 300 tons via
Magellan in the steamer Massachusetts,;
$500 to the Pacific Coast and $500 via
Cape Horn, making practically 10000
tons at the top price.
The high prices have given Hawaii
one of the best years in all its sugar
history, and this in spite of an off year
in labor supply. Everything has com
bined to produce the best results.

INVENTOR OF SHIMOSE
POWDER IS DEAD
Man Who Helped Much to Cause
Defeat Of Russia Dies
in Toxic.

TOXIC, September PROF. Masu.
chika shimose, the inventor of shimose
powder, used for the first time by
Japan in the Russo Japanese war, died
at his home here yesterday. The cele-
brated Japanese chemist, whose inven-
ton helped materially in Japan 8 VIC
tories by land and sea in her last great
struggle, was ffty-three years old. He
was graduate of the Toxic Imperial
University, where he studied under and
obtained his first ideas of modern
explosive from the Scotch professor Of
chemistry, Edward Divers.
His Shimose explosive was tested for
ten years by the Japanese government
prior to the war and was adopted as
being superior to iddite, melinite and
loblite. So destructive were the shi-
mosite shells that 1t was charged dur
ing the beginning of the war by Rus
STA that the Japanese were using shells
containing some poisonous ingredient.

.G0NKLING SAVES
HAWAII BIC WAD
BY GOOD Work

While not exactly a1athema the
name of conkling is not spoken with
joy by the local bank managers these
days. The bankers don't think very
much of this bright idea of his of bring
ing the two tons of gold by transport.
They wanted to handle the money and
naturally they would have charged ex-
change. The exchange on $1,5OO,OO0
would amount to nice little check,
but Mr.. conkling thought it desirable
TO SAVE this commission -and he did
so.
Conkling went farther-he saved
the freight rate of $1,000 on the gold
from San Francisco by bringing it
down on the transport. Some of the
companies running steamships regular
ly between here and the Coast figured
on getting that money, but have been
disappointed. 1t is not noticed, how
ever, that any of the managers are
going around saying they dom want
two tons of gold. -
Bank managers hava had those words
put into their mouths but perhaps they
feel a little huffed. Conkling doesn 4
mind, because he has saved the Terri.

WEEKLY BULLETIN.
Technology Station, Halemaumau,

Technology Station, Halemaumau,
Aug. 20 to Sept. 3, inclusive.
The lowest point in the descent OF the
lava lake was reached this week on
August 20, when the level was 313 feet
below the station. The lava, since
then, has been osciIlating as before
without showing any marked tendency
to rise or fall excepting that it stood
fairly high on the morning of September
LIST. AT the time of writing Sunday
P. m.) it has again fallen to nearly the
same point as on August go.
The seismieity has averaged (nor-
NAL, 81 for the week without any alb
normal features but the slow fitting
of the ground Ms. and SIN. was very
marked during the week.
On August % the islands moved out
from their former position under the
eastern bank to point near the south
shore of the lake and showed by main
tanning their relative positions that
they are actually connected with the
original, but now sunken, island as fore
Swallowed in last week g bulletin. They
now stand some ten feet above the lake
surface and present curious appear
ance.
With the change in the location of
the islands sold Faithful, which had
virtually gone out of action, Immediate
ly resumed its operations and has been
quite active ever since although its
doming up occurs a little nearer to the
NE. shore of the lake.
Hydrochloric acid has been detected
IN the gases from the erater-this is
generally an indication of high grade
of volcanic activity and, in fact, al
though the lake of lava stands at a
lower level, the actual movement of
the lava, as shown by convection cur
rents and fountains, is very great
ne downfall of the. lodges continues
and was at maximum on August 30
when from p. m until midnight the
ayalanches were almost incessant. They
were strong again in the afternoon of
September l.
An event of the week was visit
from Prof. VIM. It. Brigham of the
Bishop Museum, many of whose OBJ
servations of these volcanoes made
forty years ago are being so strikingly
corroborated by the present expedition.
His kindly sympathy and keen interest
were shown in more ways than one and
the visit was a positive inspiration to
further discovery.
A systematic investigation of the
causes of the diurnal variation in the
height of the lava column has now
been inaugurated. Respectfully,

(Mail Special to The Advertiser)
HILo, September 5.-The first
touch" has come to the pioneer Ha-
waiian labor union, the Hilo longshore-
men being notified that any little thing
in the money line would be appreciated
by the strikers'of Local 5S7, the sugar
handlers at the Crockett refinery. The
touch was effective and a hundred dol
lars to add to the strike fund will go
to San Francisco.
A request for illegal defense fund =
was also put up to the Hilo unionists
last week by Ewaliko, who explained
that "the union was likely to become
involved in legal matters. A thousand
for defense fund and enough other
money on hand to support bi-lingual
paper are wanted, something which win
eat up very considerable share of the
union wages expected.
Several matters of great Importance
were taken up at the meeting of the
union last Saturday night, and num-
Der of interesting announcements were
made by David Ewaliko, the local
union Moses. who had received several
communications from the labor leaders
on the mainland.

Although the level of the fire lake
in Halemaumau has fallen considerably
during the past week, the activity in
the pit has increased. Old Faithful,
which has subsidized temporarily, has re-
sumed action and the twin-islands of
chilled lava have shifted position.
Mr.. Perret, in his regular weekly
bulletin, writes to The Advertiser that
the subsistence of the fire lake has
brought about a great downfall of the

Finally, Fouch wrote that the matter
of having all the sugar placed on the
Matson Navigation Company's boats at
Hilo by the local union, had been re-
ferred to President Keen of the Pacific
Coast District of the Longshoremen Is
Union, and that that officer would take
it up with the officers of the steamship
company in San Francisco.
Aid for STRIKERS.
President Fox of Local 537, the strik-
ing sugar handlers in San Francisco,
wrote to the local union appealing for
aid. He stated that it was impossible
to tell at this time when the strike
would be ended, and it was likely to
last long time. The matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee, and
it seems likely that a fund of about
a hundred dollars will be sent to the
strikers
The question raised by the application
of several citizen Chinese for member
ship was brought up again. 1t was
finally decided to pass it up to President
0iConnor for final opinion as to
whether such could be admitted.
Newspaper and Defense Fund.
Among the purely local matters were
several of considerable interest. 1t was
thus decided that the union should start
newspaper so as to possess an organ
of its own, the same to be published in
both the Hawaiian and the English
languages The executive committee
was instructed to devise ways and
means to start the paper going.
Ewaliko appealed to the union mem.
bers to raise by assessment perma
pent legal expense fund for purely local
uses. The union was, he said, likely to
become involved in legal matters, and
it was therefore ad visable that the Off
GERS thereof had defense money TO fall
back ON. 1t was decided to raise a fund
of a Thousand dollars for the purpose.
Finally the meeting discussed an offer
from Hackfeld & Co., that the union
take contract to handle the diseharg-
ing of all its lumber for an entire year.
Ewaliko, John Bohnenberg and Joe
Yierra were appointed committee to
discuss terms with the firm.
