The Progressive party is the pioneer

significant vote at this time by the peo-
pie Of the state of Ohio?
An analysis of the votes cast in Ohio
on the amendments to the constitution
of that state proves conclusively that
the average intelligence of the voters
OF this country is all right and. when
gathered together in composite form,
represents a far higher order of intelu-

methods to be adopted right now. in
solving our present-day problems. than
the intelligence possessed and exhibited
right now by many of our so-called

Ohio, in this recent vote on these

and we firmly believe that as Ohio went
in September so will go the Union in

ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR HEALTH JOB

There will be another examination
Of candidates for positions on the
board of health staff next Thursday.
Already several men have signified
their intention O taking the examina-
ton, and there are still more to be
heard from.
The examination will probably be
held at the College of Hawaii. The
board of examiners will be the same
as that which conducted the examin-
alton few weeks ago.
The men who were dropped from
the inspectorial staff, on account of
not passing the first test, may have a
try at the next examination. They
will, however, attend simply as out
side candidates for positions and be
on no different footing from the rest
Of the applicants. Five men in all
are to be appointed, and the first five,
as regards percentage of credits, will
get the positions. ~"

SUGAR INDUSTRY
OF FORMOSA
Especial Correspondence of the Starr
BY J. A. BREcKoNs.


WASHINGTON, d. c., February l.
United States Consul Samuel c. Reat
of Formosa, has made a report upon
the Formosan sugar industry in which
he says:
The Taihoku Seito Kaisha, the only
sugar company in north Formosa, eel
ebrated the completion of its 5O0-ton
mill with elaborate ceremonies on De-
cember II, special amphitheater and
banquet hall having been erected for
the event, in which the principal gov
eminent officials participated. The
Taihoku Seito Kaisha is capitalized at
Isl, 100000 gold, and its directors and
stockholders are the leading business
men of the capital city, Taihoku. This
factory is an American-built mill, hay
ing been erected by the Dyer Compa-
my, of Cleveland, Ohio.
The Niitaka Seito Kaisha has APP
piled to the Formosan Government for
permission to erect a sugar mill of
1000 tons capacity in the Kagi Prefec-
ture The application was granted,
with the proviso that the company
take preliminary action before Janu-
airy 26, 1912. The Niitaka Seito Kai-
sha now owns a sugar plant of $50
tons capacity, situated at Shoka It
is capitalized at $2,5OO,OOO gold
If present plans do not miscarry,
the Byoritsu, Chuko, Shinchiten and
two or three other small sugar con-
Germs in Formosa may be Incorporated
into one large company under the
name of the Minami Nippon Seito
Kaisha (Southern Japan Sugar Coz.
The machinery would necessarily
have to be increased, and the planta-
lions acquired would comprise, ap-
proximately, $4,000 acres. The Sugar
Bureau of the Formosan Government,
which has general supervision over
the sugar industry, states that the pro-
posed amalgamation has not been sub
mitted to it for its sanction or rejec-
ton
The cane-grinding season began
early in December and will extend to
the first of May, possibly little later
on some plantations. The estimated
total production of sugar for the sea-
son of 1912 will be 100000 tons. OF
this amount 100000 tons are centrifu.
gal sugar and 10000 tons brown sugar
The production would have been TWEEN.
ty per cent. more had the cane not
been damaged by the severe typhoon
of August 81, 1911.
The Formosan Government grants
every season certain subsidies to su
gar-cane raisers, in order to encour
age the natives in the use of fertiliz
ers in cane cultivation. The money Is
to be expended solely for this purpose
and this season the amount appro
priated is $27S,OOO The area of cane
plantations embraces 10000 acres
and this will allow an expenditure OF
$3.50 for every acre. Another subsidy
of $1S,378 is given to the model plan
tations, which cover an area of 1856
acres.

PUPUKEA TREE
PLANTING OFFER

There was considerable discussion
Yesterday at the meeting of the Board
of Agriculture and, while some of it
was over the proposition of buying
wagons and horses for the proposed
dog quarantine, there was still more
talk over the planting Of trees and
other matters.
Mr.. owen, who resides at Pupukea
has made a proposition to the board
and it sounds good. He is willing &c
agree to plant trees and cultivate
them till they are three feet high, on
the condition that, for a couple OF
years prior to the planting, he be al
lowed to raise pineapples on the land
Some thirty-five acres would be treat
ed in this way and the board seemed
to think that it would be a cheap wal
to do some forest work. owen will
do the planting and other necessary
work.
There was some talk about the
planting of Mimosa trees on the island
of Kahoolawe, and the advantage OF
the quick-spreading plant was pointed
out.
The campaign of the fruit fly mel
was also alluded to, and the reports
of several departments were read

SUGAR AFLOAT
MAKES MONEY

The Sugar Factors Company has re-
ceived advices that 500 tons of the
Alaskan's cargo reached New York on
Saturday, coming in under the quota
ton of ass cents. The Alaskan left
here with sugar at 4.05, so it is evil
dent that the voyage was a very prof
table one. The balance of the cargo
is due to arrive on the 18th, and is
likely to receive still higher price.
At the present time there is about
10000 tons of Hawaiian sugar afloat,
of which $1,000 is now at Tehaunte-
pee. With the strong advance in
prices indicated at present it is likely
to bring near Ats cents when it ar.

WAIPAHU VILLAGE
TO Be IMPROVED

Yesterday afternoon number OF
the board of health members paid a
visit to Waipahu village and looked
over the proposed scheme to install
sewers and to improve the general
sanitary conditions of the plantation
camp
Among those making the trip We're
DR.. Pratt, DR. shepherd DR. Mccoy,
Professor Keller, George r. Carter and
Inspector Charlock. The whole pro
position was looked over and the
unanimous decision was come to that
sewers must be put in.
There is not much grade at the
village but sufficient to make the
sewers satisfactory can be obtained
The supply of water to flush the sew
ers has to be arranged for also, and
it is thought that this can be obtained
easily enough.
There will be a meeting OF the com
mittee in a few days wnen the Wal
pahu matter will be attended to. The
plans of DR.. McGettigan of Waipahu
plantation are considered to be salts
