MAINLAND

H. P. Wood, secretary Of the local
promotion committee and chairman of
the Hawaii Fair Commissiop, arrived
in San Francisco June and has al
ready held a number of conferences
with the exposition officials with re-
gard to the final arrangements for the
participation of the islands In the 1915
event.
In connection with Secretary
Woods visit to the coast as represen-
tative of Hawaii, the San Francisco
Chronicle of June carries the follow
ing story:
Hawaii has reduced its original ap-
preparation for its exhibit, but at least
$4,000 will be spent by the terri.
tory, according to Wood, who de-
clares that the showing of the islands
will be a comprehensive and valuable
enc and form one of the most inter-
esting attractions of the exposition.
I'VE have already selected our site" "
said Wood. "and are now completing
plans for the exhibit All of Hawaii's
resources will be represented and it
is planned to make the attraction an
unique one. A feature will be a re.
plica of the famous volcano of XII
lauea. In addition to exhibits of the
various products and resources of the
islands there will be a lecture-room
where moving pictures, showing isl
and scenes, will be on display.
The famous colored fish of island
waters will be quartered in an aqua
rum similar to the one at Honolulu
which is known the world over. The
fish will be brought over in specially
constructed tanks and should form an
unusual attraction.

Canada for the purpose OF spreading
promotion propaganda concerning the
Hawaiian islands.

ruin in FREE
SUGAR

'If the Underwood tariff bill, re.
ducing the duty on sugar to l cent a
pound, becomes law the sugar indus
try of Hawaii will be practically ru-
ined," says ]. A. Gilman, a prominent
sugar-growef>of Honolulu, who is in
Portland on business.
1T is impossible for us to compete
with the German sugar growers on an
open market" said Mr.. Gilman yester-
day. THE cost of labor and transpor-
tation and the general expenses are
man competitors.
Since the islands have been an
nexed to the United States the cost of
labor has more than doubled. With
the present duty of 1880 ton On our
raw sugar it costs us about SIS a ton
to lay sugar down in New York to-
day. Our average selling price is $50
a ton. This gives us margin of $22,
but out of this we have TO pay the
cost of selling it and other expenses
Now the Underwood bill proposes
to cut the duty to / cent pound or
$50 ton. At the end of three years
the duty is to- be removed altogether
This virtually would confiscate our
business. We could not operate I'M
der "a free sugar system, as the Ger
man growers could cut under our
price at every turn"
Mr.. Gilman points out that 90 per
cent of the people in the Hawaiian
Islands depend upon the sugar indus
y,either indirectly or directly, for
their livelihood. The pineapple indus
try now is becoming competitor of
sugar in the number of workmen it
but 1t is comparatively in its
infancy
Hawaii now sends 100000 tons of
cane sugar to the United States an
nually. The mainland" as the Ha-
waiian people refer to the United
States proper, produces annually 49,
900 tons of cane and beet sugar. The
total production of maple sugar and
molasses in the mainland is $1,000
tons. Cuba furnished 1,665,000 tons,
the Philippines and Porto Rico 100000
tons and outside sources, including
Java and Germany, 10000 tons. The
total sugar consumption in the United
States, according to these figures, Is
8 100000 tons annually. The price for
the whole world is fixed every day
at Hamburg 1t Is natural, the Ha-
waiian growers point out, that in the
event of tariff reduction the Ger
man growers and dealers will do their
utmost to invade this country with
their products. Just now Germany
finds ready sale for It's sugar at home
as well as in free-trade England and
other European countries.-Portland
Oregonian.

duke LAUGHS
At MORNING
PIPE.DREAM
Continued from page Onel

Where are there any professional
swimming meets, I'd like to know
said Rawlins Certainly there are
not enough for a man to make very
good living out of them. / know
though, that some persons here have
tried to get hold OF Duke to make q
few dollars out Of managing him for q
while. but they haven't been manly
enough to come out in the open with
their propositions. As to going on
the stage. Duke isn't just cut out for
an actor. There is nothing to that
story"
I'D like to meet the guy that wrote
that story about me getting an offer OF
$1,000 a week for 5S weeks to appear
on the stage" commented Duke
Maybe he can tell me where to find
the man that made the offer. | never
heard OF 1t before, and I'd kind OF like
to get such an offer. believe me. Gee.
I'd hate to think what ! wouldn't do
for $4,000 simoleons! That's an awful
lot of coin"
No" Duke said, in answer to a
query, 1--WE not received any theatre
cal offer of any kind yet I've never
heard a proposition of that kind, until
one of the boys toll dine about that
story in the morning paper today.
However, the theatrical offer or the
lack Of it isn't worrying the champion
to any extent In fact Duke is fortu,
nate in the possession of a tempera-
ment that refuses to be inflicted by
worry on any count.
He now has two swimming ambi-
tions-One, to cut down the existing
worlds records in the short distances
at the San. Francisco meet to a point
where they are likely to stand unchal-
lenged for many years to come; the
other is to do something worthy OF
note In the long-distance events.
After the San Francisco contest he
expects to go to Long Beach. and says
he wants to see what he can do In q
race scheduled for that place over a.
ree-quarter-of-a-mile course, in Sthe
open salt water.
Reminded that the water probably
will be pretty rough there for record
smashing, Duke said:
Il don't mind that / like the
rough water and somehow feel more
at home in it than in the still water.
I've never tried for record In rough
water and I'd like to make the at
tempt, just to see what l can do.
Duke yesterday picked out his spe-
cial surfing board from among the lot
at Waikiki and will take 1t to Long
Beach. where his performances In the
surf should prove an enormous. attrac-
ton to the Caiifornians.
Duke also has an ambition to visit
the beach resorts Of Florida with his
beloved surfing-board, but he doubt
less will have to forego that pleasure
a few months, as few people visit the
Florida coast in the baking hot sum
mer months and the big hotels are vir-
tually closed until late In the fall.

which determined the success of the
mounted guns. Two rounds were fired
from each of the two guns, everything
going off according to calculations,
and without accident or incident.
The only damage done by the con-
cussion was to the post hospital,
where dozens of bottles came rafting
and crashing to the floor, making an
indescribable mess of broken bottles
and spilled chemicals.
The guns were sighted for 5000
yards, and fired one at a time, first
With three-quarter charge, and then
with the full service charge behind
the cast iron projectile. The field of
fire was absolutely clear of any OBJ
struction, and there was little or no
delay in firing, as soon as General
Funston put in an appearance. The

OUT IN lEAVENWORTH, WASHINGTON

Leavenworth's the place to live
To get a perfect climate,
And if you don't believe me,
Why, you had better try it.
The winters are not very cold,
The summers-most delightful;
The people there are cordial
And do whate're is rightful.
It's the real garden OF Eden,
Brought down to modern times,
That's why l write this ditty
Which people call rhyme.
The fruits out there are lucious,
The fish are even better,
And if you want a pretty girl
Why, go out there and get her.
1t is there the glorious mountains
Raise up their peaks on high;
IT'S there the sun is shining
In an ever clear blue sky.
Whatever walk of life you choose,
Out there you can make money;
People may think this joke
And consider it very funny.
But every word is solemn truth
and is devoid of mirth;
To verify my statement
Go out to Leavenworth.
I'll shout of glorious Washington
Until the judgment day;
St. Peter will approve of it
He knows its truth I say.

Home Wanted

Sixteen months old Dorothy is the
last bit of humanity to drift into the
Receiving Home of the Washington
Children's Home Society at Ravenna
Heights, Seattle. Her large dark eyes,
entirely too large. and her emaciated
body, tell tale of neglect and abuse.
She was born in a hospital and when
two days old was given to couple who
had been there asking for a babe. In
cidentally it was learned that the same
couple had formerly applied to the
Society, and had been refused. The
condition of this child, testifes to the
wisdom OF the refusal.
Baby Dorothy will now be tenderly
cared for in the nursery until some
good reliable home is open to her,
where she will be fed such food as
will build up the frail body, where she
will have fresh air and exercise and
where she will be trained and loved as
a daughter.
Full particulars may be secured at
the Superintendent's Office, 323 New
York Block, Seattle.

Lumber Business Will be Good

With the anticipation that the Inter
state Commerce Commission will allow
a general, though small, increase in
freight rates in the near future, the
Washington lumber market last week
took on new life with the receipt by
lumbermen of scores of inquiries re-
garding lumber prices. These re-
quests came from nearly all parts Of
the country and it is estimated that
within the next few weeks orders will
have been placed in this state for up
wards of 100000 feet OF lumber.
With the prospect that they will now
be able to construct necessary i'm
provements, there is every indication
that many of the big roads will place
orders for millions of feet of lumber for
use in cars, bridges and false work.
1t is the opinion of railroad men that
if the increase in freight is generally
allowed vast sums of money will be
spent in the rehabilitation of various
roads.

Washington Will Get a Million Visitors

Plans for exploitation and publicity
which it is believed will attract fully
100000 eastern travellers to the
state of Washington during 1915, were
announced last week by the Washing
ton State Exposition committee, which
is giving much attention to this states
re-exposition advertising. The rail
roads have promised the commits
sion that they will help circu-
late booster literature throughout the
east and Canada. The first exposition
literature to receive the approval of
the commission is booklet entitled,
Through Washington to San Fran
cisco in 1916" which is being pre-
pared by Coatesworth M. Turner, of
Seattle. This booklet will exploit the
resources of Washington so that trav-
elers will be induced to route their trip
through this state. Mr.. Turner has
had wide experience in this work
and has promised the commission that
his booklet will be one OF the finest
pieces of exploitation literature ever
published in this state.
