COST IOBRING
LABOR TO HAWAII
S766.9O A HEAD

According to recently compiled fig.
ures, it has been found that during
the period from 1905 to 1914, the num-
Der of European immigrants brought
here through efforts of the territorial
government, were 1889; and that of
this number 1l,0S3 failed to remain
here, continuing on to the coast, in
most instances, as soon as they had
the necessary money to travel on.
These figures include men, women
and children. The total increase Of
arrivals over departures has been
,6,276. The cost of bringing these peo-
pie here has been over Slips, 957.4S,
and counting one-third of the immi-
grants to have been men, the cost
per laborer has been $766 80. The gen.
eral impression seems to be that this
enterprise has been an expensive one,
and that California has benefited by
it a great deal more than has the
territory. 1t is unlikely that the work
which was stopped some time ago,
will be revived.

through the exploration CT fresh pine
apples to the mainland markets. This
will be done through the territorial
marketing division, Of which he is
head. 1t is planned TO place a quail
fled representative in San FranciscJ
shortly after the F.rst of July who
will be expected to see that all Ha-
waiian shipments receive proper at
tention. An effort will also be made
to induce the several steamship lines
to make better provision for carrying
fresh fruit than at present. Under
proper conditions of packing and ven
tilation on the ships, pines reach San
Francisco with practically no loss.
During stormy weather, however,
when matches have to be closely bat
tened down, the lack of ventilation
sometimes occasions very heavy losses
to the shippers.
The homesteaders at Haiku, al
though many Of them will be pretty
hard hit by the slump in prices of
pineapples, and none of them can
hope to break even unless prices
should advance, are still optimistic
Most of them are experimenting with
various other crops, and the hope Is
very general that it will be found pos
sible to make good independently Of
pines. There are practically none Of
the so odd settlers who even suggest
the likelihood of failure.
With very few exceptions, all of
the Haiku homesteaders are undoubt-
eddy very much in earnest in their de-
sire to be able to make their holdings
their future homes. An especially
promising thing in this connection is
the attitude Of the women of the set

outside positions pending the time
when their lands will supply their

result has apparently almost been
reached, some of the places being al
most on a self-supporting basis.
The Haiku homesteads are gener-
ally considered to be among the most
favorably located in the territory, and
their success or failure will mean
much to the future not only to the
settlers affected, but to the territory
as whole. ..-, IT

BERMUDA Onion

For many years the growing Of on

NEST excellent chance for developing
q very important industry in growing
this onion. which it has been proven
can be grown successful here and
placed on the mainland markets sew
eral months ahead of the Texas and
Imperial valley crops. That this fact
is beginning to receive attention from
mainland capital is evidenced by the
following letter received yesterday by

1T was our pleasure to purchase
and handle on this market a number
Of shipments of onions of the Bermuda
type that were shipped in here from
Honolulu during the past few months.
We are quite heavy in the onion game
and are therefore considerably more
interested in this Bermuda onion bus
mess than most of the houses in this
market, and are therefore writing you
for information. We would appreciate
it very much if you will give us full
details if possible at your earliest
convenience.
We would like to know if the rails |
ing Of these Bermuda onions in the !
Hawaiian Territory has proven to be
a success. Do you get a sufficient |
quantity per acre to justify and is |
there sufficient acreage available so |
that the output could be increased. |

that this had been brought about, Viii

He enumerated as the principal fac
tors initiating against Mexico's re-

Mexican policy, and Villa, 1.-The great

Observers who had noted with some
wonder the strength with which Gen
eral Aguilar's forces occupied the
American-built trenches earlier in the
day, understood the reason for it when
Senior Favilla exclaimed:
"Villa will be fought to the last
'cartridge!"
There is no doubt that the Carran-
aistas will defend Vera Cruz against
the Villistas to the last man.
There were about 1000 persons in
the crowd that cheered Favilla's ad
dress.
General Aguilar spoke in very mod
crate terms. He did not even mention
the Americans.
The speaker assured the populace
that there would be no interference
with the rights of individuals and
that private property would not be
molested.
The departure of the American
troops was a very businesslike proceed
ure. For the troops there were not
many regrets. Their sailing meant

task which started with all the prom

Mutt and Jeff in a New Guise.

After three seasons Of veritable tri-
umph Gus Hill comes back for a
fourth season with his perennial sue
cess, Mutt and jeff" in an entire
new dress. "In Mexico" is the title
of the story that is to form back
ground for Bud Fishers inimitable
characters, which easily assume the
credit for the greatest and most dur
2ble success in the cartoon world. The
new production is an innovation of
play craftsman's work, embodying
about all of the real meat of stand
ard amusement-the thrill of the mel
odrama, the side splitting situations
of the farce comedy, the extravaganza
and tinselled brilliancy of the bur-
lesque and the harmonious art of mu-
sical comedy, not forgetting a scenic
production, electrically embellished, in
cluding some startling mechanical eff
fects that overshadow all previous at
tempus at realism. Contrary to the
general idea of producing managers
to frame up their offerings for the
second and third years cheaply and
"clean up"-speaking in the parlance
of the PROFESSIONALS. Hill has spent
more money and greater energy in
this 3eason's Mutt and Jeff in Mex
leo" than on any of the previous pro-
cuctions, so great is his faith in the
lasting qualities of the cartoon play.
In this seasons entertainment there
isn't Z thing left but Mutt and Jeff
The story, music, lyrics, scenery and
electrical effects are all new. Mr..
Hill has selected a cast superior in
every respect to any he has yet been
able TO offer. Z All in all, "Mutt and
Jeff in Mexico" will surely live up to
the title of the one great big hit of
the show world, and at will go oome. "
1t comes to the Opera House to-
morrow night. Secure seats in ad
vance is an old cry" but in this case
1t is very necessary, as Mutt and
Jeff always play to overflowing
houses.

Cruz again is Mexican town.
The American forces of occupation
General Funston's expeditionary bri-
gade, numbering something over 5000
men, evacuated the port yesterday III
four hours time. The first outpost was
withdrawn from Los Cocos at 10
o'clock. At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
the last of the transports loaded with
the khaki-clad American soldiers cast
off its line at the wharf.
On the heels of the American troops
the Carranzista army of occupation
under Generals Aguilar, Maganes and
MILAN entered the town 5000 strong.
BY the time the last of the troops
were aboard the ships the Mexican
troops had thoroughly reoccupied the
trenches stretching in a Gordon from
vergara on the coast to the north,
through La Cato, past the cross roads
to Observation Hill'' and on to Los
CocoS.
As the rear of the American column
swung past the American consulate
and saluted the flag, which was the
sole remaining national emblem left
10 f1utter in the town, the Carranzista
forces were entering the Plaza De
Armas, where the banner of Mexico

Americans, all sorry to see the little
commender leave, waited to say fare
well.
As the troops marched aboard the
transports the bands were playing and
there was much glee on the wharves.
1t was strangely in contrast to the
scene on the docks at Galveston when
the troops embarked for Mexico.
There were sad partings then. Home
ties were being broken. Soldiers were
leaving behind them wives, sweet
hearts and pet bull pups. Now there
was rejoicing, for they were going
back.
AS the last transport slipped away
from the wharf the band was playing
"Hail hail, the gangs all here. What
the - do we care. Now Wv"
And back over the waters of the
bay, as the ships passed out across
the bows of the three American war
ships which still remain to guard the
flag, there floated back the strains of
the soldier chorus:
Good bye, Vera;
So long, Cruz;
Hello, U. S. A."
