Reports from Hilo received here yes
terday announce that A. c. Wheeler,
assistant superintendent of public
works is exceedingly busy with the
different public improvements under
way on the Big Island. The work on
the Keaumoku road job, is declared to
be progressing rapidly, with about q

be made soon, Wheeler, says. The Kai'

marlin estimated to weigh 1000 pounds
was recently brought into the whole
sale market at Honolulu by a Japa-
nese crew who had been fishing of
one of the Hawaiian Islands. A large
piece of tuna was used for batting the

small fish. The "ulua," a fish said

ing that the. launch "Crete" was
wrecked at Haleiwa Bay recently. The
launch was shipped from Avalon some
months ago and was owned by Capt

The sentiment generally expressed
yesterday was that Duke had
done wise thing by signing up with
Benjamin. The officials of the local
branch Of the A. A. u, however, and
w. T. Rawlins, the Granville manager
of Duke, expressed indignation and
surprise that Duke had not taken them
into his confidence, going as far as TO
say that the swimmer had deliberately
lied to them when asked MS TO the
truth of the report that he had dc.
eided to leave the amateur ranks.
Hawaii has been awarded the national

High Price Of Sugar Going To Cut
Down Household Preserve
and lam Supply


II you are fond Of home made pre-
serves and jams the cast of sugar is
going to hit you in a tender spot accord.
ing to dispatches from the mainland re-
ceived here in yesterday g mail. A ia
mine In household preserves and jams is
predicted for next winter.
Sugar is nearly fifty per cent higher
than IL was last year and the price is
still climbing with no prospsets Of any
fall. In additionst6 the price Of sugar
the cost of jars and other materials
Ised in putting up preserves has ad
vanced to nearly double to what IL was
last year.
The war in Europe is given as one
of the main causes for the rise in the
price Of sugar. The Cuban crop, which
Usually comes to this country, is nearly
exhausted, dealers in the commodity
here say, and the greater part Of it has
,lready been shipped to England. The
supply Of beet sugar, which England de-
pended upon from Germany every year,
has been cut off and the sugar raising
countries are sending the product to
Great Britain because of the high price.
Supply in o, 8. Short.
This has diminished the supply of
zane sugar in the United States. The
price has been steadily rising about
thirty cents a hundred a month since
last fall. Cane sugar is now quoted
At $40 per hundrer retail. Beet
sugar Is held at twenty cents hun
bred less than cane sugar. This is
hard and fast rule of the sugar industry
Beet sugar follows the lead of cane su-
gar.
"Although beet sugar is just as good
for preserving and other uses as cane
sugar, the beet sugar interests keep the
rice close to that of cane sugar despite
the supply, said the manager of one of
he large grocery concerns yesterday
1.-THE price of sugar is soaring and
It is going TO be higher. II means
practically that there viii be no pre-
serving season among the housewives

zy heights which sugar is liable to
reach If the war keeps up will Brighten
the women. 1t would be extravagant
to attempt to put up any preserves at
the price at which sugar is now held.
other Materials Rise.
"Moreover, there has been rise in
the other materials used in preserv-
ing. The manufacturers of the glass
Jars with zinc caps have been unable
to get enough metal to make these
articles. Besides fruit. is high The
berry season is now on, but there is
hardly a housewife who is putting up
any of the fruit
1.-THE apricot and blackberry season
will be here next month and the
price of sugar will have another
boost. BY the time the peaches are
in, next July, it would not be surPris-
ing to see sugar up to SO or $40 q
hundred.
"The canning companies are cur.
failing the output of their factories
because Of the Prohibitive price of
sugar. Some of the canneries have
contracts for sugar, which will run
out this year and many will be fac
ing the necessity of cutting down the
volume of canned fruit. "
