Position of Improvement Club
Is ExpIained-CoiIins Gives
Stand

Puunui People VS.. The Country
Club" is the unofficial title OF the
latest document in the improvement
controversy involving roads TO NJ
uanu avenue. J. F. G, Stokes, one OF
the hard fighters Of the Puuiui dis
trict for the Circle drive outlet, con-
tributes the document in the following
letter. written in advance OF the su,
peIyisors' meeting tonight. TO make
clear some OF the points in disputes:
Editor Honolulu StarBulletin.
Sir: Concerning Circle drive, |
cannot let Mr.. Sutton's letter to the
Advertiser this morning 20 unnoticed
since he has. in his capacity OF PAID
attorney, made a strong attempt to
create public prejudice against the
stand taken by the Puunui people.
"A little history may make our po-
sition clear. Before the Country CLUB
bought its present grounds the Puunul
people and others had access TO M:
usnu avenue from the top OF the dis.
trict along a rough wagon road,
through what is now the golf links,
The road was closed BY the, Country
Club without protest by the Puunul
people because the men who incor-
pUrated the Country Club (and were
its directoTsC announced that the club
would run another road to the same
point on Nuuaru avenue. This was
reasonable as the old wagon ROAD
would cut the grounds in half. Mr..
Sutton attempts to make the legal
point that this was no announcement
by the club. My unlegal mind can
not understand his view. The an
nouncemant~ was made during the IN
cooperating proceedings, and is the
reason our fight did not begin long
ago. From time to time word would
reach the Puunui people that the an
nCunced' road was going through, and
this again it is explained by Mr.. SUIT
ten was not official Information from
the directors of the club. Where the
news came from cannot tell, but ii
had the effect of keeping us quiet
while the Country Club secured its
registered title. When we realized a
few years ago that we had been bun
coed we began the present agitation.
Il must particularly draw to the at
tent;on of the public that we have not
asked for the reestabliShment of the
old road, which would suit us best
because it would damage the links,
We picked cut route near the lower
boundary of the Country Club, and
this route no sane man, woman OF
child could claim would ruin the
grounds, as has been very freely stat
led by those opposing Us. The coun-
try Clubs directors oppose us now
on two counts. First, the assessment
forA the improvements. although they
/ have been receiving exemption in tax
alton from the community for many
years in a most scandalous fashion
Second, because they desire seclusion
What do they want to do that they
cannot find seclusion enough in near
" 400 acres of land? :.
Circle drive most unfortunately
continues along the boundary of a
wealthy mans diminutive 13-acre
property. This wealthy man needs
privacy, and will not be able to find
it in a small home lot of Il acres il

ShaCkIeton Fails to Rescue His
Men From Elephant Island

London-Sir Ernest Shackleton has
again failed to rescue the main body
of his Antarctic expedition left on Ele-
plant island, says the Daily Chronicle,
and has returned to the Falkland is
lands.
Sir Ernest returned on board the
steamer Emma, says Reuter- dispatch
from Port Stanley. The ship was
forced back by heavy gales and ice and
it was found impossi BILE to get near
Elephant island through the pack ice.
The ship was badly damaged, the en-
gines were damaged, and the Emma
was obliged to proceed under sail.
Sir Ernest, the correspondent adds,
recognizes that it is useless to force a
passage with light ship and he is
waiting for the steamer Discovery to
come from England.

Hop Crop Is Doing Well.

The Oregon hop crop is doing we'll
and hop men are particularly pleased
with the condition of the yards. The
market is decidedly dull.
The Chicago Brewers Bulletin says
of the trade situation in the East:
Brewers are not buying except an
occasional small lot for immediate
wants. Most of the brewers are COW
cred by contract for some months to
come. Dealers are offering to sell at
somewhat lower figures than of late,
the decline in the Coast markets hav-
ing made itself felt in the local and
Eastern trade"
The British embargo on hops is not
very strict, according to the Kentish
Observer, which says: "Notwith-
standing the fact that the order prohi-
biting the Importation of foreign hops
came into force on June 8, imports
continue to be received. The Board
of Agriculture reports that the i'm
ports for last week were 6195 cwt.,
against 1884 cwt. in the corresponding
week of 1915. The exports were !:
British, 800 cwt., against 432 cwt. in
1915; foreign and colonial, 1879 cwt.,
against 21 cwt. in 1916"

SPRING CROP BADLY AFFECTED
Most Damage in North Dakota, Min
nesota and Manitoba Orders
Cancelled by Merchants.

Chicago-Hail, black rust and blight
damage to the spring wheat crop of
the Northwest caused an advance of a
cents bushel on the Chicago board Of
trade Saturday. A 6-cent advance was
scored Thursday. At the high record
prices were 33 cents higher than the
low point in June. September closed
at $1.34a. December at $1.384, and
May at SLAB.
Reports reached the trade that in
some sections of North Dakota and
Southern Manitoba the crop had been
ruined by hail Wednesday night and
Thursday. Several large insurance
companies with headquarters in Chi
cago received messages saying that
the crop was total loss.
Most of the hail damage was in the
northern part of North Dakota. The
crop in Bottineau county is ruined.
Mercantile companies in that section
have cancelled all orders for future de.
livery. Even orders for such necessi.
ties as shoes and stoves have been can.
celled. ....... ..........
Ordinarily a 33-cent advance in the
price of wheat in little more than 9
month brings fortunes to many of the
big operators on the board Of trade
That has not been true during the
present rise. Nearly all Of the big To-
cal traders have been fighting the mar
ket, or rather fighting the damage re.
ports, and prices have gone up without
their aid.
Even the Northwest, where the
damage was taking place, was seller
of wheat in this market until few
days ago. That caused the belief that
the damage reports were exaggerated
by the market bulls.
Some of the boards exporters have
made large winnings, and coterie of
Wall-street grain men, who are said to
have large holdings of wheat under
$1.20 bushel, are credited with prof
its Of around So, 000,0
The disaster in the Northwest has
proved blessing to the winter wheat
growers. Thirty days ago they were
able to get only 81 bushel for their
grain. Now the price is third
higher.

Northwest Land Products Show at
Seattle, October 4 to ~.

Seattle.-Opportunity for all com
munities or counties in Oregon and
Washington to make agricultural and
horticultural displays is offered as
result of the holding of the Northwest
Land Products Exposition at Seattle
October to IA.
This will be the first show of the
kind ever staged in Seattle and the
whole of the Northwest is invited to
participate. The exhibition has the
endorsement of commercial bodies and
the railroads and the purpose of the
display will be to bring about a better
understanding of the many opportuni-
ties offered to homeseekers in the
Northwest
In addition to displays from Oregon
and Washington, Idaho and Montana
will send exhibits of fruits, grains and
grasses. Alaska, too, will have a sec
tion set aside for agricultural displays
and British Columbia will have part
in the undertaking.
Oregon, Idaho and Montana will
combine on a special day at the expo
sition. From Montana is coming an
exhibit under the authority Of the
state and a special excursion party
of more than 100 business
men. 1t is hoped to have the COVER
nors of Montana, Idaho and Oregon as
we'll as the governor of Alaska and
the Premier of British Columbia pres
ent at the exposition the same day.
Since Portland will not repeat its
annual land show this year, the Seat
tie exposition will afford exhibitors at
the Salem fair an opportunity to place
their displays before thousands of Wis
itors in the Washington metropolis
and bring the truthful story of Ore
gons countless opportunities to the at
tention of many men and women in
terested in a home on the land.

Big Prune Crop Indicated.

Ridgefield, Wash.-Prune growers
in this part of the county are jubilant
over the bright prospects for one of
the greatest prune crops in its history,
notwithstanding the large damage
done by the silver thaw last winter.
Although it is about six weeks before
harvest, trees in the orchards are
breaking down under the load of green
fruit. In some prune orchards the
ground is already strewn with broken
branches and growers have been shak-
ing their trees vigorously in an effort
to prevent further damage.

who has been stoutly opposing the bill
heretofore passed by the house ratify-
ing the compact between the states of
Oregon and Washington, under which
they propose to exercise joint jurisdic-
tionl over fisheries in the Columbia
river, is showing signs Of relenting.
If he does this the bill will pass, as
Senator Lane alone has prevented its
passage on several occasions. The fail
ure of the opposing fishermen to file
initiative petitions robbed Senator
Lane of his chief ground of opposition.
