After the interview with an anony-
nous citizen was printed in yester-
days Star, the following article from
the San Francisco Chronicle was re-
ceived. In the interview it was relat-
ed that the gentleman interviewed
had advised Governor Frear of the
probability that a parasite for the
Mediterranean fruit fly existed in
Brazil, and that correspondence with
certain South American consuls in
that regard might save the expendi'
ture of the $4,000, already placed at
the disposal of the fruit fly cam
paigners, to the Territory.
The Chronicle article positively
states that in Brazil a parasite has
been found that will aid materially in
mitigating the evil. May it not also
be possible that the further sugges
ton of the citizen in question to the
Governor, that a parasite for the fruit
fly may be found at home on the is
land of MoIokai, would bring about d
happy result if followed up?
The Chronicle article is as follows,

WASHINGTON, January 14.-Can-
ada has taken up the manufacture Of
coalettes from coal dust and slack,
and making of it a profitable indus
try. In a report to the Bureau Of
Commerce and Labor, Consul General
Jones Of Winnipeg recounts the success
of a new plant at Fort William, the
seaport of Western Canada. Here the
great barge transportation companies
have their coal wharves and dumps
as practically all the coal coming from
Pennsylvania is routed through the
great lakes TO this port
The new company has contracted
for all screenings and dust from these
dumps, and is making it into bricks
called coalettes. The machinery is
made at st. Louis, and each machine
has capacity of ten tons per day

WASHINGTON January 12.-With
the return from tour of the Panama
canal zone of the House committee
on interstate and foreign commerce
came the death-knell of free tolls
through the big ditch-for coastwise
or foreign-going American ships. The
House committee is against it, almost
to a man, and it's members have re-
turned with such convincing argu-
ments in favor of tolls that there is
very little hope of even a reduction
of the tax for American ships. Not
only does the government need the
money, which is the first considera-
ton with many, but a second consid-
Grafton is that the saving, especially
to coastwise shipping, will be so great
by reason of increased facilities and
the shorter route that the tolls will
be comparatively nothing.
A representative view of the ma
jority of this committee is that eX-
pressed by Representative Martin OF
Colorado. The completion of the
canal will have no direct appreciable
effect upon Colorado, and therefore
Mr.. Martin should be free from bias
one way or the other. To Star rep
resentative the member from Colo
RADIO said on his return from Panama
with his committee:

WASHINGTON, January 12.-It,s a
far cry from the American drummer"
of today to the Heather Chinee,' and
yet the former is being rapidly sup
planted by the latter in the rosters
of many American firms-and the
movement is just beginning. Not that
the average American merchant Is
likely to be soon visited by the Celes-
tial instead of the CHEEKY commercial
traveller with a new story. 1t is in
China that this change is taking place.
After expanding large sums in train
ing American statesmen to handle the
trade in a country with a population
of more than 4O0,OOO,OOO people, Amer
leans have at last admitted that the
Chinaman can give the American cards
and spades and still outsell the Amer
lean drummer-in China.
In a report made to the state de-
partment by Consul General Anderson
of Hongkong the superiority of the
Chinese salesman is attested by the
rapidly growing sales made by them
for American and English firms sell
ing goods in the empire, and the pre-
diction is made that the American
salesman in China will soon be I'M
known.
Consul Anderson cites number of
firms now selling goods in China ex-
clusively through Chinese statesmen,
educated in particular lines. The time

The Mediterranean fruit fly does not

The imminence of the danger to
fruit growers here is caused by the
thoughtlessness or carelessness of
tourists, who return to the States with
a desire to exhibit specimens of Hat
waiian or other Oriental fruits to their
friends at home Not realizing the
gravity OF the situation, they attempt
to slip by the quarantine officials with
these fruits and in many instances the
work of the states men is made as
difficult as that OF the federal customs
inspectors who are searching for
smuggled jewelry.
"Only the other day ! had trouble
with a motherly, kindly old lady who
wouldn't think of smuggling a valuable
