OUTLETS OF COD

The best way to cook outlets Of cod is
as follows: Bake them in a nice quick
oven, on thin layer of bread crumbs,
seasoned with salt pepper. and chopped
uprsley, They should be turned once,
and kept covered until a few minutes
before they are done, and then allowed
to brown. Outlets of cod are often
steamed between two deep soup plates

Hawaii's Record Sugar Crop
Due to European War

HONOLULU, Dec. 9.--The Euro
pean war will be the cause for tho
production of the greatest sugar crop
in the history of Hawaii, if official
estimates for the year 1915 prove
true. Next years crop was estimated
today by the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers' Association at 612,530 tons, and
it is considered entirely possible that
this amount will be increased if
favorable weather conditions con-
tinue. A tonnage of 100000 has here
tofore been considered about the
limit Of production.
The sugar acreage which was cut
down after the passage of the present
tariff law, took big jump when
war broke out on the theory that
Germany, the greatest sugar pro-
ducing country in the world, would
have difficulty in handling her crops
and further that German beet sugar
seed, extensively used in America,
might not be obtainable
Additional water supplies now be-
ing obtained on the Island of Oahu
also contributed to the additional
acreage.

SAILORS REPORT
VISIT To STRANGE
ISLANDS IN NORTH
Crew of Polar Relief Ship Tells
of Exploration of Beloher
Group.

ST. JOHNS, y. f, Dec. 9.-The
Belcher Islands, a group some eighty
miles off the southeast coast of Hud-
son bay. long charted but little
known, were visited in SEPTEMBER
last by an exploring party on the
Newfoundland schooner Ladd1e.
Members of the party have just ar
rived here. Although the islands were
sighted by Captain Cook $50 years
ago, and by other explorers since, 1t
is said that the members of the Lad
die expedition were the first white
men to land there. The islands, which
lie in latitude Sc north, were found
TO be in a somewhat different posi-
ton and in greater numbers than
marked on the latest charts. In its
fifteen days exploration of the group
the party found il to be barren, but
Astounding in wild life, including
foxes. Arctic hares and geese.
The Laddie left st. Johns on July
Is last, with supplies for Filters and
Leduc. who went north in 1903 on an
expedition for the Canadian Northern
Railway One of their chief objects
was to endeavor to locate coal beds
In some part of the Hudson Bay
region, which could be utilized in
connection with the railway now be-
ing projected to runN from Lepas
Manitoba, to Port Nelson, on the
south coast of the bay. The Laddie,
running north along the Labrador
coast and working her way through
Hudson strait found the explorers
on August 10, at Madjuak bay, on
the south coast Of the Great Baffir
Island. With them were two New
foundlanders. The ice in the bay had
broken up only two days previously.
The four men boarded the Laddie
which proceeded to Cape Dorset oil
the south coast of Fox Land, then
crossed Hudson Strait to Eric Har-
Dor. at the entrance to Hudson Bay.
She made her way down the bay past
the ottawa Islands to the Belcher
Islands.
On the night that she left the
Belcher group the ship ran into a ter
rife gale but although she lost much
of her canvas, she reached Nastipoka
Sound, on the southeast coast of Hud-
son Bay, in safety, Explorations
were made here, along Manitou Sound
and near the outlet of the Great
Whale river.
The Laddie then went south to
Moose Factory, a Hudson Bay COM
pany post, on James Bay, to tie up
for the winter. Two men stayed with
the schooner and the rest of the crew
here on a Hudson Bay
steamer.
