OAHU SUGAR co.
SPENDS MILLION
ENLARGING MILL
View Plant Will More Than
Double Present Capacity and
Will Be Fully Electrified
MATERIAL is ORDERED
OF HONOLULU IRON WORKS
Installation Will Begin First of
Year and viii Be Completed
for the 1918 Crop

First definite details given TO the
public on the plans of the Oahu Sugar
Company were obtained by the Star
Bulletin today These plans include
the duplicating OF the present mill
besides other machinery and improve
ments to the present plant. They will
more than double the present milling
capacity of the company and the cost
IS to be approximately a million dol
lars.
Higher prices for sugar have both
lecessitated and warranted the en-
argements to be made as well as hav-
ing made the building possible when
it will be needed.
At Hackfeld & Company, agent for
The Oahu Sugar Company, it was
learned that the new machinery has
already been ordered from the Homo.
lulu Iron Works and will cost when
completed nearly. $1,000,000. The in
stallation will commence next Janu-
airy and the plans call for another
grinding mill to duplicate the present
one in use, more boilers and boiler
machinery and the electrifying of the
plant for night work.
The installing of the new equipment
was made necessary by the recent
planting of more acres to sugar The
new sugar cane will be ready to cut
in 1913, and it is the purpose of the
company to have all the new machin-
cry ready for use in time to take care
Of that increased crop.
When erected the new units will
be able to grind from $4,000 to So
BOO tons a year, San increase of from
80 TO so ner cent.

that head are all musical attractions, where there is an admission fee.
 The liberal element is about to start movement for the purpose of induc- ing the Pennsylvania legislature, if possible, to amend the Sunday act so as to exempt concert managers from it's operation. It may take time, but the Sunday concert is sure to become a feature of Philadelphia's humanizing activities.
 It has not been many years since Birmingham had ap ordinance prohibit ing Sunday concerts except they be given free or for some charity fund. It was amended so as to allow concerts under certain conditions; but the new law, which allows Sunday movies, also allows high class musical entertain ments without any restriction. This is as it should be, and when Philadel- phia falls into line no city of any con- sequence need be without its cultural music on Sunday.

The Cotton Situation

Henry ClewS in hlS last cotton feNleW says in part:
 "A great deal of attention is being given to the anomalous conditions between llV- erpool and this market The situation in Liverpool is reflected in prices there, and the only reason that our market shows indifference to it is because of the gen. eral belief that it would be impossible to find way to export cotton except at pro- hibitive freight rates There is no doubt that a large amount of our cotton is an imperative necessity in Europe, and it may be taken for granted that a way will
 be found to get it regardless of the short age of shipping facilities or of the price
 paid for ocean freight room. For some-
 time past Great Britain has compelled
 English vessel owners to reserve half of
 their cargo space for foodstuffs, and it is
 reasonable to suppose that with com
 polling necessity for cotton instructions
 will be given before long to reserve a cer-
 tain amount of room for the staple. That a move has already been made along these lines is indicated by a report re- ceived toward the end of the week that the British government has limited the rate on cotton from the gulf to Liverpool to $2 per 100 pounds, against the rate of S3 which now prevails. forfeiture of ship being the penalty for charging more. 'The statistical situation is still a strong one: the total worlds visible supply is a little over 6,OOO000 bales, compared with 5 5,936,937 bales in 1914; 6.136OOO in 1913, and 6,412,0oo in 1912. Total European stocks are now 1,613,000 bales, as against 1,34OOO0 a year ago, 2,07300O in 1913 and 2,55OOOO in 1912. Little attention is being paid to the excellent trade conditions or the real merits of the statistical position. Both these factors, however, are pointing rather strongly to heavy reduction in the supply of cotton, which, in time, ought to be reflected in considerably
 higher price level"

From Popular Mechanics.
 In one of the French army camps the
 soldiers have improvised a shower bath
 which is as thoroughly amusing in ap-
 pearance as it is ingenious in construc-
 tion. Its ludicrous mechanical features
 are so pronounced that it would seem
 more of a travesty than convenience
 were it not for the fact that it was in
 very general demand until late in the fall.
 The 'contrivance is built beside a small stream and consists essentially of a large spider having tin cups arranged about it's
 periphery; two water wheels, a bucket, a
 piece of tubing and hose. As the large wheel is revolved by the smaller ones the cups are dipped into the stream and car ried up to point where they are tripped and their contents emptied into bucket, which is held on a platform several feet from the ground. Obviously the water is carried from this reservoir through the hose to the spray. Primitive as it is the apparatus works and provides the men with much-needed facility for bathing.

The Official Canvass

The Birmingham tax amendment was defeated by majority of 84eo. The official canvass was made ana the result announced in Montgomery yesterday
 Many of the counties stood by BIT mingham and gave good maJortles in favor of the home rule principle. But Birmingham itself was against Birmingham, and Jefferson county and the city combined rolled up an overwhelming majority against the amendment.
 Some work was done in behalf of the measure, but not enough. There was a letter writing campaign, good as far as it went, but there were no public meetings; and past experience has shown that speech making IS the one effective means of arousing and
 
 convincing the masses.
 The bond issue proposition for Blr- mingham's temporary relief had only to be submitted to the voters here, but it was carried by decisive ma jority as result of an organized and vigorous campaign in the suburbs. The tax amendment, intended for Birmingham's permanent relief, would have carried had there been the same kind of campaign here abouts and in certain of the doubtful counties.
 There is no use in fretting about it now, but it is hoped the lesson will not be forgot in case similar amend ment is ever submitted.

William Waldorf Astor, formerly of New York, who was raised to the peer age last week by King George, has as- sumed the title of Baron Astor of Hever Castle The present residence of the new baron was a royal country place with a moat around it in the time of Henry VIII The mathematical monarch is said to have entertained several of his pros pective wives there including Anne Boleyn The castle is located in Kent, about 30 miles from London. MT. Astor bought it in 1895 when he gave up Give den, his first English residence. to his son and heir, Waldorf. He had the moat ex- cavated and filled with water, new port cullis and drawbridge made and the bat dement's repaired. Outside the castle he built a village connected with the castle by a covered bridge. Each cottage was also connected with another. An Italian pergola and an Italian garden were added later. When MT. Astor entertains his guests occupy the cottages in the village.

 The protestants against Sunday movies made themselves so objection able around the city hall that the com missioners, in order to get rid of them, made Sunday moving pictures legal.
