SOUTHERN PACIFIC
MAY DOMINATE THE
TRADE OF HAWAII

That the Southern Pacific Railroad
plans to take the sugar carrying con-
tract away from the American-Hawa-
iian Steamship Company within the
next few years, and through this
means dominate The shipping business
with the Islands, is rumor which
has been in circulation in local COM
mercial circles since the arrival of
the last mails from the coast. Just
who received this information, or how
well founded it is, cannot at this mo-
ment be learned, since sugar men gen
orally are mum on the subject; but
that the matter has at least received
consideration is fairly certain.
The plan is a most ambitious and
far reaching one. If it really has any
authenticity it means that the South

Pacific Mail Steamship line, purposes
taking Hawaiian sugars entirely away
from the Eastern market, and market

TO MAKE kauai
MORE SANITARY

President Pratt of the Board Of
Health and A. r. Keller, newly ap-
pointed consulting sanitary engineer
for the Kauai plantations. are work
ing on the plans of the new sanitary
system which is to be installed by
the Board of Health and the Kauai
Planters Association upon the Gar
den Island.
Professor Keller will leave for
Kauai next week and will go over the
ground covered by the plans upon
which he and Dr.. Pratt are now work
ing. Each of the five plantations viii
be carefully inspected, both in regard
to their improving present sanitary
provisions and constructing new sys.
TENS.
At the present time, according to DR..
Pratt, four Of the plantations have a
crude sewerage system, but on Ko-
loa plantation no provisions for sani-
tation have been made. Work on the
Kcloa plans is nearly completed and
the Koloa plantation will probably be
the first one upon which the work Of
sanitary construction will be started.
The project involves a prodigious
amount of detail and includes several
difficult problems of engineering TO
be solved.

HAWAII EFFECTUALLY CORNERED
The ONION SEED MARKET

Due to the foresight of Superinten-
dent S, T. Starrett of the market di-
vision, the Territory practically has
a corner on the entire amount of Ber-
muda onion seed to be found West
of the Mississippi.
Last year Starrett foresaw that the
onion seed in existence was not
enough to go around and, when called
upon to purchase it in quantities for
the institution of the onion industry in
the Hawaiian Islands, he slipped
Quietly over to the mainland and
bought all in sight, at the same time
securing all the available supply in
the Canary Islands where the most Of
the seed used in the States comes
from.
In one instance Starrett bought 800
pounds at 1925 a pound ana the man
who sold it to him wrote recently and
offered him IS a pound for any or all
of the lot. Starrett expects the price
to go to $40 a pound but the stock
owned by the Territory to the extent
of several hundred pounds is not for
sale save to those who wish to plant
1t on the islands and who may secure
it at the average cost rate
Not only have the Territorial pur.
chases of seed cleaned the mainland

market division raked the markets ol

tive.
New rules regarding the examina-
ton of officers for promotion, re-
cciyed from the war department, have
in the opinion of those who have ex-
pmined them, made the examinations
more practical through exemptions
from examinations on subjects where
officers hold certificates of proficiency
from a service school. These exemp-
ttons are but for stated periods and
cnly apply to those who passed the
school examinations with high per
centages, although the exemptions
differ for each arm of the service.

Pacific coast, through its great rail
distributing system. 1t counts on hav.
ing all Hawaiian sugar refined on the
west coast, and counts upon the rapid
growth of population in the Western
states to make the absorption of the
over half million tons annually con.
tinually more easy. 1t means that the
keen intellects directing the great
railroad system believe it economical

while in Europe and found there was
none for sale.
With the seed worth almost it's
weight in gold, Starrett is considering
placing the supply owned by the Ter
ritory in burglar proof vaults, each
can in his possession having a pres
ent market value of 5000.
Inasmuch as Hawaii has the lead in
onion seed the prospects for high
prices for the crop to be planted in
the fall are considered excellent, for
failing seed, Texas and the other great
onion producing sections will be in
dire straits.

MADE FINE
SHOWING At THE
COUNTY FAIR.
Some Dissatisfaction Over
Arrangements, But Exhib-
it Proves a Success.

While there was some dissatisfac-
ton on the part of the East Grand
Forks schools over the ARRANGEMENTS
made this year. Supt. w. E. Wolfe re-
turned from the county fair at
Crookston last night. feeling that the
school had made a very good show
ing: He said that plans were already
under way for next year. which would
make for a larger and better exhibit.
MI. Wolfe stated that for the num-
Der of displays they made the local
school Was more successful In the win
ming Of first premiums than the 9TH
ers. When he returned last night, the
school had been awarded eleven first
and sixteen seconds. Every exhibit Of
mechanical drawing the school made
won a prize. The schools exhibit in
baking and canning was better than
the similar exhibits made by the other
schools in the county.
The Mcintosh school, however, car.
ries off the rea honors Of the fair.
Their exhibit is complete in every
way, and is one Of the best ever seen
in the county. The exhibit Of the
Crookston schools is larger than the
others, but 1t is entirely outclassed by
the Mcintosh and East Grand Forks
exhibits.
The exhibit of the local school will
be shipped to the twin city for the
state Industrial contest, held in con-
nection with the Minnesota Educa-
tional association.

Farms Will Increase in VAL

Begin to Appear.
(Ry W. R. Porter. Superintendent
North Dakota Demonstrations

ICY w. n. Porter. superintendent
North Dakota Demonstration
Farms.l
In many sections Of western North
Dakota very few trees have been
planted and nc section Of country has
greater need Of systematic tree plant
ing. One OF the reasons for this Is
that many newcomers expect to make
a fortune in a couple of years growing
wheat or fax and then return from
whence they came and live happily
ever afterwards. Others do no know
how to grow trees and hate to take
duce trees. None of these things
should prevent farmer from
planting and setting out a good grove.
David Steiner Of the Beach demon
stration farm on the extreme edge
OF North Dakota has a grove of three
or four acres surrounding his build
ings. These trees have all been plant
ed In the past ive years n many
of the trees are now over twenty feet
high. Plum trees are loaded with
luscious fruit. Crahapple trees are
SO heavily loaded that they have to
be propped up. A friend from Wis
consin visited Mr.. Steiner recently
and he said he would give three thou
sand dollars more for Mr.. Steiner's
land than he would give for any 9TH
er farm in the vicinity Of Beach. just
because Of the grove and bearing
fruit trees. George Cline Of Mott has
also been in western North Dakota
five years and he has eight acres Of
very healthy looking trees. many Of
them fifteen to twenty feet in height.
These trees have gone through the
very dry eason Of 1910 and 1911
and the very cold winter OF 1911-l2
successfully. thereby demonstrating
the fact that western North Dakota
is adapted to tree culture, if the right
varieties are planted and they are
properly taken are Of afterwards.
The essentials of successful tree
culture in western. North Dakota are.
first: thorough preparation of the soil
by deep blowing and summer tillage
or corn or potato culture the year be-
fore the trees are set out. Second:
early spring planting Of the proper
hardy varieties such as box elder, cot
tonwood. green ash. elm and the
white willow. Third: thorough culti-
walton after the trees are set out.
Keep the tree plantation as clean as
a garden until the trees are large
enough to shade the ground. After
that a few civilizations should be CIV
en- each year and the trees will Don
become a priceless asset Of the farm
