Praises Islands
As Ideal Place
For Vacations
]. w. ConnelIa Does Some Fine
Promotion Work for Hawaii
While in Nevada

Honolulu and Hawaii nei in general
get about a thousand dollars worth Of
publicity in the July p issue of the
Ely Record, Ely, New, which prints an
interview with j. w. Connella, deputy
in the office of Collector of Internal
Revenue ]. g. Haley OF this city. Con-
nella is on his vacation. II
The Honolulu man gave out a great
deal of interesting data concerning the
islands and his promotion work there
affords the Promotion Committee an
excellent opportunity to send follow
up" literature in an effort to bring
some of Ely's wealthy mining men
here on vacation or winter trips.
Concerning Honolulu, Connella says
the city has 5000 automobiles, includ-
ing many of the best makes, but that
one can hardly throw a stone with
out hitting a Ford The city is very
prosperous, but business is so we'll
monopoliZed that it is almost impos-
sible for an outsider to break in, at
least not without buying out an old
time corporation. As a place of resi-
dence Honolulu is paradise, but Tor
business purposes it is closed chap
ter for newcomers" says the Record s
story
when the Volcano was in eruption
on the island of Hawaii, Mr.. Connella
visited it, and states that the awe
inspiring scene was simply beyond
the powers of description. 1t is per-
haps the greatest wonder of the world,
and can be visited and viewed from
the brink of the great crater without
Inconvenience and with reasonable
safety.
All of the islands are free from in
sects or pests with the exception of
mosquitoes, which are troublesome ct
times in certain sections. There are
no snakes nor poisonous insects on
any of the islands.
Wages of skilled labor are good,
but situations are hard to get, except
those in connection with the manufac-
ture of sugar Mr.. Ccnnella would not
advise people to go to the islands
with the expectation of finding en-
ployment, but TO those who wish an
outing no more pleasant place can
be found in the entire world. The
round trip can be made for $3.50, on
the Great Northern, Matson and
Oceanic boats, and automobiles can be
taken along for $35. Living can be
had on the islands at almost any
price, depending upon the size Of
ones purse.
"The hundreds of people In this sec
ton of Nevada who ANNUALLY visit
southern California might do well to
switch their itinerary of winter trips
so as to include the Hawaiian
Islands,"

SUGAR EXPORTS
FOR YEARLKELY
TO DOUBLE
Providing Rate and Prices Do
Not Fall, Value Should
Be 500, 000, 600

Exports of refined sugar from the
United States are now going forward
to sugar buyers in all parts OF the
world at rate which, If continued for
the balance of the year, will place the
total volume of the years exports at
approximately 100000 tons, with a
value of about $90,000000, compared
with the 100000 tons for 1915. hav-
ing valuation exceeding $4,000, 900.
Prior to the war domestic refiners' ex-
port business averaged less than 25,.
600 tons year, with an average valua-
ton of less than $3,000,000 annually.
Shipments Of refined for export
from all ports totaled approximately
$4,000 tons up to June %, and were
within $4,000 tons of equaling the. en-
tire exports for 1915, and it is esti-
mated exceeded the total value of last
years shipments by fully $5,0o0,000.
The department of commerce stats
tics for the fiscal year show that for
the 10 months ending in April ex-
ports of refined amounted to 651, 900
tons, and had value of $59,000,000.
As the exports of sugar from New
York alone during March, April and
May amounted to more than $1,000
900 in valuation, there is every rea-
son to believe that exports for the en-
tire fiscal year will reach value of
at least $75,000.000.
II is also interesting to note that
combined sales of raws by Cuba, and
the exports of refined from the United
States, for foreign destination from
January / up to the middle of June,
have exceeded $4,000 tons, compared
with approximately 100000 tons for
the same period last year. To this
should be. added the amount of both
raws and refined already purchased
and awaiting shipment, which will
easily total another 100000 tons. This
brings the amount of sugar which fer
eign countries have purchased in
Cuba and the United States alone up
to approximately 1,000,000'tons so far,
and shows the dependence of most of
the Allies upon the American market
for sugar supplies. Facts About
Sugar.

TALES Of BRIDE
HUNT ARE DENIED
BY ONE TRAVELLER
HonoIulan Back at Work Says
Stories Printed in States
Worse Than Exaggerated

One of the two so-called bride
seekers" is home and at work, nut
he says the whole story is mistake.
A. r. Yierra, who, with NJ r. GoeaS,
was heralded all through the main
land as man in search of a wife,
declares that he never saw the woman
who in Boston first made the news
public. Seen at his work in the dry
goods department of HackfeId & Co,
he asserted that it was all mystery
to him. .... .~. - -.
Goeas and Vierra left Honolulu
April 4 for a vacation tour Of main
land cities. Late in May the Boston
Post published a story telling of their
visit to Miss Charlotte Smith, head
Of the Homestead Association, in
search of a bride 1t quoted Miss
Smith as saying that not only were
the two young men in search of wives
for themselves, but that they wished
to let the young women Of New Eng.
land know that they can find happi,
Hess and homes in one of the, most
beautiful spots in the world-Hono>
ulu." The Nstory went on to tell Of
the great demand for wives in Homo
lulu.
"Goeas knew Miss Smith slightly. l
believe, and went to call on her when
we were in Boston" said Vierra this
morning. II stayed at the hotel. I
didn't speak to a soul in Boston
Goeas saw Miss Smith but once and
/ am sure didn't tell her any such
tale as the Post printed. We didn's
know of it until we got to San Fran
cisco early in July The story was not
printed until after we left Boston
So far as know, it has absolutely no
foundation" >@
The Posts story was copied by the
papers in all of the large cities and
quoted in the Star-Bulletin.
Goeas will return on the Matscnia
this month and bring with him copy
of letter to Miss Smith and her re-.
ply, declaring that she did not make
the statements attributed to her in
the Post, Vierra declares. He has not
seen the letter as, II was received
after he left Goeas.

Returning from London. where he
attended the Allies economic confer
ence, Thomas j. Ryan, premier and
tralia, and prominent labor leader Of
his country, passed through here Mon
day on the Sonoma with his wife on
their way home.
When seen at the boat Monday aft
ernoon he was retieent concerning
the Allies conference which he had
attended but was very enthusiastic
over the prospects of the colonies aft
er the war. and the feeling which is
growing in England to bring the colo
MES closer to the mother country.
During his stay in Eandon a ON
ference Of British statesmen was held
with the view of establishing Brit
ish parliament in London that shall
have members in both houses repre-
sentative from all of the British col
onies. Ryan was asked to speak, and
his views on the subject were enthu-
siastically received and went long
way towards furthersng the move
ment.
Knowing in part at least the plans
and hopes of the colonies from par
lament representation which shall be
equal as a voting factor of the present
membership, said Premier Ryan, Il
can say there viii be a closer and
more cemented and uniform empire
after the war than was thought pos
sible year or two ago.
''The new departure has practically
been accepted and we can now look
forward to new and progressive
British empire. The details have not
been worked out as yet, but they will
be attended to in due time. What /
want to emphasize is the fact that
the main points have been worked
out and accepted"
Just before leaving San Francisco
Premier Ryan celebrated his 40th
birthday and was the recipient of
many courtesies. He had been in
