HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Seniors And Juni0rs Have Merr'
Time at School Last Night.

One Of the merriest times since the
Lee School building was erected was
had last night in the school. Wheh
the Junior class CT the High Schooi
entertained the Senior class at one
Of the first and prettiest Ha!loWee en-
nasuucrades OF the season III"
sight that met the eyes OF the guests
1 as they entered the building was
4 n,as+ attractive. The entire back
a Of the hall was covered by branches
\ oak, maple and dcgwood, standing
back OF red and gold autumn leaves
\ scattered thickly in front. Large
4 yellow pumpkins cleaning ghastiy
4 from their hidden places in TINS
bower of branches compIcted the
Halloween scene.
4 Az soon as all the guests had ar
rived q message was read TO the
assemblage from the underworld
!! requiring that all present should
accompany it's messengers across the
River Styx to determine each and
\ every ones fate. Ghosts came from
behind the curtains to the underworld
and carried the persons away one ny
one. and the groans coming from inc
throats Of those already sitting be-
fore Pluto showed what was happen
1 ing to them. AS each one safely
emerged from this ordeal, they were
escorted by other CHESTS TO the
fortune teller, a witch sitting in Il
rrotto of branches and leaves before
huge caldron hanging over fire
of subdued light. Their fates were
foretold by this witch and then they
removed their masks and went out
into the forest scene again, where
little later Il procession was formed,
marching upstairs to q glorious
feast.
Here from the center OF a long
table huge pumpkin set IN bed OF
black and orange was staring. Inside
we're the choicest fruits OF the season,
and around the pumpkin were placed
the best OF things to eat. Al one
end of the table was the punch bow!
resting on the same black and orange
as the centerpiece and over the ether
end were placed Halloween dA!n-
ties. After supper came singing,
playing, and all sorts Of fun until the
time to leave. Just before the d.
parture Of the guests CT honor q
token Of esteem from the Juniors
was presented TO them. The presen-
tation speech was made by Mr..
Fisher, who on behalf Of the Junior
class gave 20 the Seniors a small ,
terrapin. 1t was received by
committee from the class amid much .
laughter. The following were the .
members of the graduating class
whc enjoyed the hospitality Of the
Juniors: Misses Marian Hayden,
Marion Dickcrt, Lucy Anderson, ST.
Sc Murphy. Cora Pullman, and
Messrs. Clayton Bowman. Con
Herbert Byrne. Bruce Morton

PEPEEKEO CROP
FOR 1918 WELL
ABOVE ESTIMATE

The Pepeekeo Sugar Company last
year had an output of S951.i5 tons of
sugar from 2013 acres, according 20
the report of Manager James Webster,
submitted this morning at the All
nual shareholders meeting. held in
the offices of C. Brewer & Company,
agents for the company. OF this
acreage, 331 belonged TO planters out
side of the company. For this Years
crop the manager estimates a yield
of $500 tons from 1865 acres, Of which
y43 acres belongs to independent
farmers.
The manager states that the last
year crop ran considerably over his
estimate, due to unusual growth of
the cane in the early part of 1913.
The outlook for this year is consid-
cred satisfactory and the growth OF
the cane for the 1915 crop is said to
he fully six months ahead of any pre-
yious crop.
The reduction in area over last
year occurs by reason of the fact that
various homesteaders who have been
supplying cane to the mill have with
drawn their holdings. One lot, the
manager says, has been changed from
cane to peanuts, bananas, taro and
other garden crops. There mas been
and abundance of good labor and the
mill has been doing good work. Gen
orally speaking, the manager seems
to feel that things are in satisfactory
condition on the plantation. He in
dictates that there has been consider.
able trouble and expense in keeping
UP the laborers' quarters to the proper
standard An elaborate water supply
system for the camps is the most re-
cent call upon the plantation.
Peepekeo plantation made net pro-
fit on sugar last year of $94,435.61,
besides some $4,000 from other
sources. Dividends amounting to $780,
coo. or IL per cent, were paid. A
credit balance to profit and loss of
S402,3SS.S9 is carried forward. The
book assets at present are $I172,-
00S.90.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are the same as before. as fol-
lows: E. F. Bishop, president; w. H.
Baird, vice-president; George H. Rob
ertson, treasurer; E. A. r. Ross, sec
rotary: S. M. Damon, director: 7. R.
Robinson, auditor.

Street FUNDS
LYING idle is
NOW COMMENDED

While several hundred IUeH are re-
Iorted to- be out OF work and hunting
for jobs. attention has been called to
the fact that there is S71.000 lying
idle In the territorial treasury. avail
able at any time for the macadamiz-
ing Of several miles of streets i'm the
TUnchboBl district, the work to be
done under the direction CT the super
intendent of public works.
A difficulty over getting the curb
ing laid on these streets is responsible
for the delay, for matchmaking is
rot to be done until the curbs are
set. The city and county engineer, L.
NJ. Whitehouse, has had men working
in this district for some time, getting
the lines and grades for the curbings
fixed. But as several of the owners
have refused to put in curbs, the
work has not progressed as rapidly
as expected.
One thoroughfare has been all
curbed except in front of some four
CT five pieces of property, the owners
of which have so far failed to have
the work done. An aggressive COM
mittee of the Auwaiolimu Improve
ment Club has managed to push the
work thus far. On December 10 the
supervisors adopted a resolution to
compel all owners to put in curbs
within so days. But now a, difficulty
has arisen, p L. Weaver having given
an opinion that if proceedings are
brought against property owners on
one street to compel the laying OF
curbs, all the owners of land in the
district must be made parties to the
suits. =.
With the exception of $4,000 which
was a direct appropriation by the last
legislature, the $4,000 referred to Is
the money which was paid in by the
purchasers of the Auwaf6limu lots
when they were sold by the govern
ment a year or more ago, and by law
this money is available for road work
in the district.
Another thing that the Auwaiolimu
improvement Club is trying to hurry
up is the placing of street signs at
the street intersections in the new
district.

POOR PACKING IS
BIG Problem FOR
MARKET Division

Poor packing is one Of the biggest
problems Just now that the Territorial
Marketing Division has to contend
with in its work of selling island
produce. This morning. for instance,
the floor of the divisions warehouse
on Queen street was piled up with
several hundreds Of pounds, more or
less, Of carrots-good carrots, too, but
they were of every size and they had
been dumped into sacks without wash
ing, punching, or sorting of any kind.
The tops had net been trimmed and
were covered with soil A couple OF
men OF the division were busy most
10 the morning washing the vegeta-
|bles, and tying them in uniform bunch
es. 'It would be practically impos.
sible to sell those carrots as we re-
ceiyed them" said Al. T. Longley, who
Is in charge of the division, this morn
ing. But there is a very fair mar
ket for them when they are in an at
tractive shape. This is simply an ex-
ample of the ignorance or careless
ness of a good many people, that is
making our work expensive and hard,
and is bad besides for the producer.
Sadly Packed Eggs.
There are lot of eggs which came
In from one Of the other islands, .
continued Mr.. Longley. Some of them
are packed in straw. some in rice
bulls, some in paper Every egg has
to be handled in order to ascertain
how many there are, and 1t Is a big
lob in itself. Besides the eggs get
broken more easily than in regular
crates. There are lot of eggs fI have
ut an idea how many packed in
that old coal oil case. One end of
the box you see is saturated with oil.
There is every probability that at
least a part of those eggs will be
tainted with a coalloil flavor, for eggs
are pretty nearly as bad as butter TO
take up odors. Then the eggs are Of
every size, shane and color-no sort
ing whatever. They may be perfectly
fresh. hut 1t is impossible to get the
best prices for such product"
But the people of the islands are
getting rapidly acquainted with the
marketing division, and appreciate its
services, as evidence by the great
amount Of produce which is now com
ing in from all over the territory, and
az is probable that in time the import
|anee of careful sorting and packing
will become better understood, and
growers will profit accordingly as their
fresher and better products are made
to compare in appearance with the
produce brought from the mainland.

HUMUULA SHEEP STATION
SOLD BY SAM PARKER, JR.;
PRICE NAMED $4,000

A deal was closed yesterday after
noon through the firm of Williamson
& Buttolph by which the big Humuu-
la Sheep Station on the island of Ha-
wall was sold by Samuel Parker, Jr.,
to William Williamson, trustee. The
price paid is said to be $4,000, and
as yet the real purchaser of the prop
erty is not known outside of the few
persons directly interested Mr.. Will
Hansen left for Hawaii on the Mauna
Kea this morning where he will take
possession of the property as the
agent for the new owner.
A good deal of speculation was cur
rent in the commercial district this
morning as to the identity of the pur-
chaser of the big ranch. The consen-
sus of opinion seems to be that the
property is to become a part of the
Parker Ranch, which it joins, but A.
w Carter, manager of the latter COM
pany, refused to confirm this, when
seen this morning, though evidently
being fully conversant with the deal
Another rumor is to the effect that
Theo. H. Davies & Company has be-
come identified with the. ranch.
The Humuula sheep ranch is for
the most part leasehold from the
territory. 1t consists of $50 acres of
government land, and pays a rental
to the territory of $3.50 per annuR.
The present lease was executed six
years ago, and has until January 1.
1880, to run. The ranch is situated
in the great plains between the noun
tains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa,
at an elevation, of some 1000 or 5000
feet. The climate is said to be very
pleasant.

STILLDOUBTFUL
OF JURISDICTION

In answer to this letter Chairman
