SIGNAL CORPS HAS
SENT TELEGRAMS ON
. PLAIN WIRE FENCE
Washington Boys Find 1t
Possible to Telephone in
Same Manner.

Telegraphing and telephoning on an
ordinary wire fence in lieu of telegraph
and telephone wires is the feat being
performed every week py the Signal
Corps company OF the District National
Guard.
This and other interesting work is
being carried on by the company in the
Mall, opposite the Missouri avenue
armory and at Sixth street and Florida
avenue northeast every Sunday ana on
holidays. The other means of communal
eating Information are by flags, hello
graph, and wireless.
Capt. oliver c. Terry commands the
Signal Corps Company. His officers
are First Lieutenant George NJ. lands

OF this company, no difficulty Is en-
countered In obtaining recruits.

with mechanical turn of mind.

Probably the most interesting of all
was the operation of the buzer on a
wire. fence along one of the drive
during the present summer used the
tbuzzer for both telephoning and telc-
graphing along barbed wire fences in
the Florida avenue vacant lots.
The buzzer. a compact little set
graph set, was attached to the fence
by buzZer wire, almost thread like in
size; and operated over several hum
dred yards.
No attempt is ever made to see II the
wire fence is "gcunded." The purpose
IS to make the practice simulate ac-
tual field conditions.
Find 1t Practical.
From the clear and distinct COM
munication over the wire fences, both
with the human voice and the "buzz,"
which replaces the metallic click of
the ordinary telegraph, no ground
was encountered, demonstrating that

wire, which is usually spread along
the ground or on trees or lance poles
In the regular service the bizzer has
many times been used on railroad ties
The buzzer Is regarded as a marvellous
instrument on account of it's ability to
carry messages when the wire is
broken and the broken ends are sepa-
rated by many feet.
The current jumps across the open
space and maintains the communica-
tion. Buzzer wire has even been
broken and the ends placed at either
side of pool of water. Under these
adverse circumstances the line OF
communication has been maintained.

IMPORTS OF EGGS
ARE INCREASING

There is every reason to believe
that the local production Of poultry
and eggs in and about Honolulu has
greatly increased during the past few
years, but the imports of cold storage
eggs from. the mainland still CON
tinues to increase also, indicating
that the demand is growing faster
than the supply
For the calendar year ending De-
cember 81, 1911, the imports of eggs
amounted to 1880 dozen, valued at
$29,99S; while for 1910 the record was
105,960 dozen, valued at $29,422; and
in 1909 75,430 dozen, worth $22,431.
The official figures concerning i'm.
ports combine the imports of dressed
poultry with those of game, and this
shows a falling off last year. being

ONION RAISING WILL Be TRIED
ON INSANE ASYLUM LAND

The Oahu Insane Asylum viii make
a snNl experiment in onion raising
to see II it would be profitable next
year . lay out twenty acres Tor cul.
tivauor of the product.
According - DR. c. A. Peterson.
superintendent of the institution, ex-
periments in tEro and cotton raising
have proved so successful that the
attempt will be made to see if the
onion can be raised as profitably.
With this end in view, DR.. Peter
son visited the Office of Territorial
Market Superintendent Starrett this
morning to obtain a small quantity
of the Bermuda onion seed, sufficient
to plant small patch of ground.
On inquiry, he was told that the soil,
of the institution lands is too heavy
for the successful cultivation of the
Bermuda onion, but ought to be we'll
adapted for the Australian variety.
"A quantity of this seed will be
planted and if the experiment proves
success, we shall probably lay out
as much as twenty acres in Australian
onions" said the insanity expert this
morning while discussing the asylum's
new experiment.
Our land has heretofore proved es.
pecially fertile and our taro lands yield
10000 pounds of taro annually. For
some time, we have successfully raised
cotton and if this onion experiment
works out all right we shall have ont
ons to put on the, market after taking
enough for our own consumption.
But we are not going to make the
experiment for profit alone, 1t is tC
keep our people busy as much as any
thing, and if we should make any new
discoveries which have important
bearing on the future of the onion in
Hawaii so much the better.
"One thing in regard to cultivating
the Bermuda onion here has puzzled
me; that is why the onion won't e
to seed in this climate They have
experienced the same difficulty in Der
muda and if it could be solved ovel
here it would put the Hawaiian onion
ahead of either the product grown il
Bermuda or in the States"
Market Superintendent Starrett wa
not very confident today regarding
the prospects of being able to Obtain
enough seed for three hundred acre
of the Bermuda onion. When he leave
in the Wilhelmina tomorrow he will
take a small quantity of Hawaiian
cotton with him for the Oakland col

MAUI PINEAPPLE
STORY DENIED

IT'S all poppy-cock" was the way
j. p Cooke characterized the West
Maui pineapple cannery story publish
ed in the Advertiser this morning.
IT'S just as | told you yesterday"
continued Mr.. Cooke, who had been
seen by a Star reporter in connection
with a street rumor to the effect that
Alexander & Baldwin were about to
open a large extent Of land near Laha-
ina for pineapple growing. There's
simply nothing in it.
There is a ditch project on foot
over there" Mr. Cooke stated further,
but the engineer is still at work on
the survey and no figures have been
presented to us as yet. The informa-
ton in the Advertiser was news to
me. Besides this ditch proposition
has nothing to do with any pineapple
project There's simply nothing in
it as far as Alexander & Baldwin is
concerned"
MI SOOhG CNelbSh hAAthb Ia ~ ASAAA
ing, the ranch superintendent at Ho.
nolua,l Maui, is making some small
paintings in pineappies, as a private
enterprise, but further than this the
story is unwarranted by facts.
According to the reports which the
Star received yesterday, but did not
print upon denial of their truth by
Mr.. Cooke, the Alexander & Baldwin
interests were preparing to open sew
eral thousand acres of fine pineapple
land near Lahaina, and subdivide il
for small farmers. Not only this but
that these farmers were to be financed
in their undertaking by the big sugar
firm, and a huge cannery built to care
for their crop.

MARKET STEADY
BUT FEATURELESS

The local stock marke' remains very
dull. There is but light demand, and
probably still lighter offerings at cur.
rent prices, except in scattering shares
Of small holders. The tendency still
is downward, but all declines noted
are slight. McBryde sold for 3-S,
from 8 IL; and 10 shares Of Olaa
brought Z Ia, an advance of Is. Oahu
Sugar sold on the board at % 3-S, a
drop from 2S 1-2. Eva strengthened a
little, selling at 80 "a. Wsialua was
not in demand, but was offered at 1871.
A comparison of the quotations to-
day with those of two months and a
half ago. show really higher prices
prevailing than at that time, although
then the free sugar bill was much less
a factor in the calculations than at
the present time. This is worth con-
sidering by those who are inclined
to believe that the tariff legislation
is hurting the market very seriously
1t probably is, as far as brokers' com.
missions are concerned, but not much
otherwise.
For instance, on January 4, with
the price of sugar practically what it
is today (the quotations for that day
were 4.42 cents for centrifugals, and
Ids. s lid. for beets). Olaa was sell
ing on the board at G fiat; McBryde
for Is; H. c. & s. at AZ; EVA al
80 Ia; Waialua, at 1877 10.
AS a matter of fact, sugar stocks
today are bringing a reasonably good
price-much better than could have
been predicted two months ago con
sidering present conditions. ..
