Hawaiian
Rubber
Experiments Give Encouraging Results
Says Expert Wilcox.

Favorable in scientific and COM
mercial ways is the result of the
tests which have been made in the
forest of rubber trees on the island
of Hawaii. The trees cover an area
of six thousand acres, are full
grown and ready to tap. Their
yield is enormous and comes in
greater quantities than usual. THE
milk has produced sixty per cent
chicle gum and seventeen per cent
rubber. Just which one of these
materials to extract and market
will have to be determined by the
condition of the market. Rubber is
graded by its elasticity, and that
produced on these trees is not first
quality and there is little spring in
it. This rubber is valuable how
ever, and is used for making ma
chine belts and other articles which
do not demand the elastic qualities.
An uncommon feature of the latex
of these trees is that it can be
shipped any great distance without
harm. 1t does not coagulate easily
and this will lessen the expense of
collecting it. DR.. Wilcox estimated
that one man could tap one hun
dred trees in day or produce
eight pounds of chicle or nine
pounds of rubber. Chicle gum has
market value of from SO cents to
85 cents per pound or an average OF
rs cents, making allowances for a
f1uctuating market. Its commercial
value over the rubber is undoubted
as the very highest grade which
comes from Ceylon is only com
manding 81. per pound, while
the lower grades are much less.
An estimate that 800 pounds
could be gathered annually from
from each acre was made by Dr.
Wilcox and as the trees are ready
for tapping the expense entailed in
collecting the latex, not including
the refining or shipping, would not
exceed five cents for each pound
AS it can be easily shipped in the
raw condition, it will probably bt
sent to the manufacturers in thai

4 The Kipahulu Japanese being
more patriotic than any OF the rest
on Maui took two days mourning
before the death of their beloved
Emperor, and when they were in

were at work for the plantation
would not lay off the second two
days as they considered two days
were sufficient. Their countrymen
could not stand this, 50 they went
to the manager, Mr.. All Ping, and
demanded that he discharge the

ferring to have the money spent
for widening road from Kailua to

Mr.. Pogue explained the Kailua

for twenty-toot vide road, while
the section from Keanae to Nahiku,
could be completed for 100000

therefore possible and could be fin
ished from balance of the third

Mr.. Drummond put in plea
for road from Keanae to Nahiku
where there is no road at all at
present except over the privately
owned ditch trail.
| On the call of the Chair the
Chamber voted in favor of the pro-
posed road construction from Kea-
nae to Nahiku, preferring to remain
in the realm of possibilities as
against tackling 1869, 900 job with
only $4,000 in sight.
