ARE PREVAILING
PRICES JUSTIFIED?

Are Hawaiian stocks high? Are
present prices, although greatly ad
vanced over quotations Of only a few
weeks ago, unwarranted by existing
conditions? Or is che present boom
all along the line simply one of those
psychological vagaries of the public
which occur from time to time without
any real foundation back of them?
The most conservative men in the
local financial field answer mo" to all
of these questions, though most Of
them do see psychological phenome-
non in the fact that the buying public
has apparently awakened in a body
to the desirability of local market Of
ferings.
From standpoint Of dividends,
there seem no question that almost
all Hawaiian sugar stocks are worth
what is being asked for them. That

ten per cent. or better on the invest.

the Territory, is now selling between
Al and As There seems to be no
doubt that this company will declare
at least $3.50 per share dividends this
year, which will equal ten per cent
on S45, which price has not yet quite
been reached. The 1910 dividends
amounted to "a per share, and the
highest price of the stock during that
period was 1850, while the lowest

time-around a. This plantation has
paid to it's shareholders eighteen per
cent. on it's $40 shares for the past
four years, which is at the rate of ten
per cent if the shares were bring
ing &c.
AS to the question of security, the
outlook for the present could scarcely
be better, both from the physical con
ditions of the plantations generally
and from the outlook for record prices
/ for sugar during the coming year. The
tariff bugaboo has about evaporate1
and there is every reason to believe
that the earnings for the coming
twelve months will be the highest il

ness.
The non-dividend paying stocks
which are likewise sharing the genera
advancement, are also doubtless con
sentative investments at presen
prices.
How much higher the market ca

PINEAPPLE LANDS
ARE GOING FAST

Within another year there will be
scarcely an acre of land suited to the
growing of pineapples on the Island
of Oahu which will not be planted to
this important fruit, according to
statement made by DIR. e. V. Wilcox,
director of the Hawaii Experiment
Station. The established companies
are developing, or preparing to do so,
most of the land in quantity that is
available, while smaller growers are
picking up all of the odd bits scat
tered about the island and planting
them to pines.
Some sections of the island look
like mining prospect district, where
people have dug holes to get soil sup
plies" said DIR. Wilcox. 1--WE have
been almost swamped with the de.
mands made upon us for soil
analyses.
The output of the Territory in
canned fruit last year was something
over 100000 cases, produced from
something like 5000 acres under Gull
tivation. 1t is predicted that this
years pack will run between 100000
and 100000 cases. OF course the
heavy new planting now being done
will not come into bearing for about
two years, so that it is not figured
in this estimate, and it does not seem
unreasonable to believe that the pack
within three years will be well up to
the two million mark, unless some
thing intervenes to check it.
Just how much Hawaiian pineapple
the world can eat without getting sur
feited, is a question that nobody
seems willing to try to answer Two
or three years ago posted packers on
the Coast predicted glut with AGO.
900 or 100000 cases, yet last year with
double this amount the supply was in
sufficient for the demand.
Among the most progressive pack
ers, however, there is a strong dispos-
ition not to rest on the favor thus far
won, but again to inaugurate an adj
vertisihg campaign similar to the one
two years ago which proved so bene-
fetal when the demand for Hawaiian
fruit was looking dull.
Hawaiian pineapples are now said
to rank second only to peaches in the
quantity of fruit canned each year.

JAPANESE MISSING

When the Tenyo Maru passengers
were counted up yesterday morning,
it was found that a Japanese steerage
passenger was missing from the
ranks. Diligent search failed to find
him, and it was believed that he had
gone insane and thrown himself over
board
DR.. Sinclair was the boarding Off
Ger and when he found that there was
man missing, he at once ordered
that the man be brought up. The ship
was secured to find the missing pas
senger, but to no avail AS the result
of many questions it was learned
from his fellow passengers that he
had shown signs of insanity, and this
led to the belief that he must have
| committed suicide.
/ j. II. Drew, of Castle & Cooke, when
asked for information, stated that he
knew nothing about the matter as
Captain Bent had not reported the oc
Icurrence to the office
There is no reason to doubt the au

SERVICE IS
CENTRAL idea
Or. o. j. HAGEN GIVES A PRAcTi-
CAL TALK TO THE STUDENTS
IN MooRHEAp HIGH SCHOOL
WHAT PHYSICAL WELL-RE-
ING MEANS TO EFFICIENCY.

The central idea in American pub
lie school education is seryice-and
service must mean efficiency, and eff
Alchemy must mean physical well-be-
ing WI
This sentence was the opening state
ment Of an address made this morn
ing before the students of the Moor
head high school by DIR. Hagen, who in
substance said that man comes into
this life with a certain amount of
physical capital to his credit. Reck-
less work means lack of efficiency IN
any person and such physical lack
means that disease has fastened itself
and thus reduces that persons chances
in the. field of competition in life's
battle.
No boy, smoking out his brains al
the end of a cigarette, can ever hope
to ssum any leadership of thought
or action in the world. ri
The men and women Of leadership
in all lines of human endeavor are to-
day in the public schools. Il don't
know who they are, but there is one
thing l know about them and that is
they must be hard at work today
otherwise they will never get there"
AS usual DR.. Hagen was we'll re-
ceived by the student body for what
ever he talks about he couches it tr
such lang gage that he is readily un'
derstood and he sends his words home
in such a manner as to create no
only attention but deep interest. One
adult who was present made the re.
mark as he was leaving the building
at the conclusion of the address, %
wish it had been possible for every
father and mother in the city to have
heard what the doctor had to say-at
least it would have set them think

SCREEN WAS BADLY COATED.
Screen in tho 1o-inch Well Has Beer
R~eleased-Is in Bad Shape.

The screen in the 1O-inch expert
mental well on the city's site at the
east end of the city, was successfully
pulled to the surface late yesterday
afternoon by workmen under the di-
rection of Contractor Mccarthy. The
screen was found to be so thoroughly
coated with a formation Of sand and
gravel that water could not penetrate
it. The important part of the well
machinery was sent forthwith to the
Moorhead Hardware Co. to be fitted
with a new wire and then the screen
will, be put back in the well and
hen the latter will be put to the test
arranged for by the water and light
commission. The idea prevails that
this we'll is in the proper water basin
and is likely to produce a big flow,
If this enterprise is a success orders
will be placed for other wells from
which it is planned to supply the city
with pure water. which is believed to
be possible by the state geologist.

Chicago, Oct. 1T.-Wheat: Opening
prices were irregular, being steady 70
a fraction lower, and during the early
to above last nights closing hgures.
December wheat today ruled weaker
than anything else or the list, and this
may be attributed, in a large degree TO
the fact that a great many spreads be"
tween spring wheat markets n our
own were closed out, all of them show
ing ahandsome profit, The possibility
of spring wheat coming here from the
northwest also had a tendency to weak
Ion, IL will take continual buying by
Europe to Offset the heavy movement
in the northwest, but we advise eau
ton regarding short sales on the weak
spots.
Corn-The early frmness was sue
ceeded by general weakness in the de-
ferred futures, although the declines
were not marked Support seemed to
be lacking and local operators were the
weather and the weakness in wheat
were both influential in causing lower
prices. We look for a market OF a
trading character and the future course
of prices depends largely upon wealth
er conditions.
Oats-A decidedly easier tendency
was shown in prices, the same being
due to further increased offerings from
the country and a lessening of the
port offers made abroad last
night at the market were not accepted.
If the country continues TO sell, as we
believe is likely, the market Is in no
shape to stand a force of hedging sales.
