REDUCED FREIGHT RATES
ON WESTERN BEET SUGAR

The beet sugar producers of the Pa
cihc Coast have petitioned the inter
state commerce commission to grant n
through rate Of 40 cents per 100 pounds
from San Francisco to Atlantic distri
button centers. Shipments will go by
the Southern Pacific from San Fran
cisco to Galveston, thence by steamers
of the Morgan Line to New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Boston.
A. NJ. Novel; stated yesterday that
if this rate is approved by the com
mission, as it probably will be, it will
place the transcontinental railroads on
competitive basis with all-water
routes to the eastern seabOaTd. The
time element is one factor that must
be considered in figuring the relative
cost Of transportation as insurance
charges against cargOes in transit vary
according to the number of days.
Another factor is the actual loss of
sugar in transit. When shipped by rail
losses are high through the sitting of
tn" sugar out Of the bags, because of
thr constant shaking motion in cars.
Thrfts have also been considerable
when in times past the planters have
had to move portions of their output
l." rnil OF course, when refined is
shipped in cases and barrels leakages
IL e not us great as with raw sugars.

BLACK ALKALI MAY CAUSE
LAHAN,AI DISEASE: Of CANE

Prof. p. 8. Burgess, bacteriolOgist Of
the sugar planters experimental sta
tion, is reported to have made discOv-
cries which may supply a clue to the
cause and prevention of the "Lahaina
disease of cane. John Waterhouse
said yesterday that Doctor Burgess
has apparently proved that black al
kalai, or carbonate Of soda, is formed
in many of the leeward soils, especially
in fields bordering the sea. A high
lime content, the presence of salt in the
, irrigation waters, and the application
of heavy doses of nitrate of soda to the
growing crops, all combine TO produce
conditions favorable to the chemical
reactions leading to the formation of
this corrosive salt in the soil. A condi,
ton of growth similar to "Lahaina
has been produced artifcially in cane
by the experimental use of black al
kalai and Doctor Burgess has proved
that the alkalai is present in fields
where the disease occurs.
Experiments are now under way to
neutralize the carbonate by the usual
agricultural methods. heavy dress
ing of gypsum, or land plaster, up to
eight or ten t"us per acre, may prove
to be all th"t is needed to cure AMI
prevent the " l.ahaina disease

GRANTED
.'. USE Of AALA PARK
Supervisors Override Opinion
Rendered BY City Attor- Z
.~ 'Nr' ney Brown

The board of supervisors has decided
to grant the use Of Aala park to the
Mid-Pacife Carnival Ltd, thus over
riding the opinion rendered by the city
attorney - department.
City Attorney Brown based his opin
ion on the fact that the carnival com.
pany is private corporation, and that
Aala park, being public playground
the board could not lawfully close thu
park during carnival week. A portion
of the PARK could be granted to the
company but not the whole area
Supervisor Shingle was strongly in
favor of granting the required permis
sion. He did not think that it would
be advisable to hold back any of the
park in order to keep square with the
law and thought that the thing should
be done in a whole hearted manner oil
not at all
Supervisor Larsen was wee bit
fearful of injnnctiOns. He warned hi
colleagues that a temporary injunction
restraining the city from going aheaC
with the work could be brought about
in twentv.tour hours, and put the en-
tire carnival to the bad.
DircctOr-G eheral Cooper exprcsse,
himself Yesterday as being greatly
gratificd at the turn things had taken
Everything would now go ahead swim
minglv, said he.
In a short time Director. Genera
Cooper expects to receive plans an,
elevations showing how the Carniva
City is to be laid out.

HAWAII IMPORTANT
+ USER or CANAL
Sugar Carriers Were Big Gus,
toners Of New Waterway
During First Year

A. NJ. Novel; manager Of the Sugar
Factors Company, has tabulated the
figures showing Hawaii share in I'm
Gle Sam s Panama Canal business. The
canal was opened to t-affic August Is,
1914, During the first year, or until
August IA, 1918, twenty six American.
Hawaiian ships of 23l 800 combined
tonnage made seventy eight eastbound
trips through the canal. and seventy ST.
voyages westb0und.
The eastbound carCOcs carried by
these steamers totaIpd 635, 226 tons, of
which 2s5,OoO tons was Hawaiian
sugar. Wrstbound frcirhts to the Pa
cific Coast and Hawaii amounted to
535,S6S tons. An American Hawaiian
steamer passed through the canal east.
ward bound every A. days and one
came west every 4.S days.
Hawaii Supports Canal
On the voyages to the Atlantic these
ships carried cargo up to SS5 per cent
of their full capacity, but coming west
they were only laden 1873 per cent fun
During this first twelve months of its
operation the canal was used by 66l
merchant vessels and tolls were col
lected on 3,2S3,0OO tons. The Ameri.
can; Hawaiian feet contributed 1874 OF
the 66l voyages, or 23.3 per cent.
As an illustration of the cargo ca.
pacity of the vessels comprising the
sugar feet Mr. NOVEL; finds that aver
age eastbound cargoes for all vessels
was 1867 tons. The average American
Hawaiian eastbound cargo was "a pei
cent larger than this total average.
Westbound American Hawaiian car
goes were 80 per cent higher than thu
total average cargoes of 1874 tons
Nearly II per cent of all vessel,
passing through the canal towards tn
Atlantic were sugar boats as were ais
11.6 per cent of the ones coming west
This feet carried 81 per cent Of all tn,
westbound freights and 1914 per cent o
/ the cargoes going east. On an averag'
there were Is vessels per day in tn
canal.
