NEW HOG DISEASE
ESTABLISHED HERE.
Has a Long Scientific Name and
Is Otherwise Very
Deadly

A serious disease Of cAttl" and hIgs
not previously known t" h" established
here has been discovered recently by
DR.. Victor A. N"rgnnrd. territorial
veterinarian. TWO Years ago he inves-
tigated an uutbrrnk OF fatal disease
among cattle on Hawaii and at that
time believed il to b" ha"mOrrObic sep
tea emia. This outbreak was not very
serious, and as the sympt Oms were not
exactly like thos" described in stand
arc works on This infection il was a..
sumed that his diagnosis was a mis-
taken one.
Within the last few weeks there
have been a Lumber of cases of "hOg
cholera" reported in tn" vicinity of
Honolulu which hnv" turned out to be
not that disease AT NIL, but typical
aases of srpticacmia. The doctor now
believes that his former diagnosis was
correct and that in all probability this
diseRse is somewhat widely established
throughout Hawaii.
A Mysterious Infection
Septicaemia is II disease of domestic
animals unk nown in the United states
until within comparatively recent
years, and probably of either European
or Asiatic origin. Not much is known
Of the method of infection, although II
has been proved that hogs fed on
slaughterhOuse wastes often contract
It.
The disease first appeared along tn,
Atlantic sea board and has now been
reported in many localities in almost
every State. 1t is deadly, but not viru
tent and is usually Of somewhat mys
ferrous origin. Doctor Norgaard be
heves the disease was brought to Ha
waii accidentally, but is probably now
widely established.
A characteristic Of septicaemia il
the alteration of the intestines similar
to what occurs in true hog cholera, and
I'm human typhoid, and death ensue,
from hemOrrhages. There are symp
toms differentiating the two diseases
rs a matter of course, for cholera and
septicaemia are caused by different or
ganisms.
The new disease is serious one. i
Is being studied by veterinarians al
over the United States and in tim,
methods of combating it will undoubt
Ndlv be discovered, but at present NJ
remedy is known

PEANUTS might PAY .
# WELL GRADED

A local importer states that there is
a constant demand for Hawaiian grown
peanuts but that it is almost impos,
sible to get what the market wants
1t is quality that is lacking, not guam,
tity, and for that reason the experiment
station would be serving the small
farmers well If they were to show the
growers how to prepare their product
for market, he said.
Peanuts, of sorts, are peddled here
at fair prices but they do not compete
with the manipulated, graded, washed
and bleached nuts shipped from the
Coast. The eating quality Of the home
grown peanuts Is first class, but NJ
such practise as grading has ever beef
applied. Hence the difference in price
Is always against the native product.
This suggestion by merchant who
has been buying peanuts for the last
thirty years ought TO be taken to heart
The peanuts shipped from the mainland
ere all of one size and color, clean
free from dirt, sand and gravel. The
home product is usually the opposite
Of all these characteristies The croE
grows well almost anywhere.

RUBBER IS BOOMING
-. = IN UNITED STATES

"The rubber business is booming"
Fred T. p. Warehouse said yesterday,
commenting on his recent visit to the
mainland. 81 visited some of the
largest manufacturing plants and
everywhere heard the compliment that
goods could not be made rapidly
nough to meet the demand. The ex-
'lanation given was not that there is
ny shortage Of crude rubber but that
Upper and metal supplies are scarce.
"The Goodyear people told me that
hey wonld like to buy one hundred
ems Of rubber for insulating copper
wire but absolutely could no; get the
wire. They also complained that skill
d laborers are simply not obtainable,
Deliveries are months behind orders
Il many lines.
"This condition of the rubber trade
'uglrs well for the rubber planters, "
lie said. ~ was told that such thing
overproductiOn will not occur for
many years to come"

MADAME PELE SHEDS
), HER HAIR IN PLENTY

HILO, November 5-Kilauea crater
has been displaying recently a mag
riRcent lot of Pele 3 hair according to
description in the Hawaii Herald
The fine, glass-hke, beautifully colored
lava has been deposited in large guam
titles around the edge of the crater
and visitors have been able to secure
samples of the interesting material.
The "islands" that appear to float
on the molten lava in the crater and
which at times are flooded with the
liquid stone now seem to be suspended
in mid air, with the lava sunken away
down below them. AS the cakes of
lava rise they appear to bring up the
lodges of rock that line the walls of
the crater. The pit is very active at
present and the display is wonder
fu one. The action of Old Faithful
is regular and the molten lava Gibbs
and flows constantly.

WISE ROADPOL|CY
General Scheme for Belt Road
Work .BeingWorked Out On
" a Modern Basis
mail Special To The Advertiser. ,

HIbO, November l--Realizing that
helter'skelter policy Of building
roads IL detriment TO the county, the
eoRrd of supervisors of Hawaii County
has marked out n plan of road cam.
paigning which IL believes will mean
splendid roads around and throughou
the island and save all the taxpayers
large suRs of money on account of the
permanent road work to be done.
There was a hope am, ng the super,
visors that concrete could be used for
belt road, but the first cost proved to
be. too high, SO IT is probable that there
will only be concrete road, outside
Of this city, as far as the Volcano.
elsewhere throughout the island it is
proposed to put in asphalt roads over
q maeadam base.
Comprehensive Plan
Executive Officer Samuel Kauhane is
10 charge of the preliminary work and
has been authorized to secure the nee.
essary machinery, some of which is
here and more is coming. 1t is pro-
posed TO have points of delivery where
the road plants will be erected and
from which the asphalt will be deliv.
cred. These particular stations are at
Mahukona, Kawaihae, Kailua, Hilo
Honuapo, Punaluu, PaauilO, Honohina
and WaikamalO.
Chairman Kauhane, of the board of
supervisors, has written to Child &
Caldwell, A. J. Lord, Union Oil com.
pauy and the STANDARD Oil Company
all Of Honolulu, and TO the HilO and
Kailua branches of H. Hackfeld & Co.
as we'll as to other firms here, asking
for estimates on asphalt and supplies
Of various kinds delivered It these sta,
tions. The machinery is coming from
the Coast.
At the meeting of the superVis to
day reports will be made of the prog
ress of the preliminary work and the
financial part of the scheme discussed
IL is proposed that the asphalt shall be
delivered in not less than twenty tor
lots and the board will arrange for the
payments in blocks.
Asphalting January
Work on the asphalt belt road
around the island will begin about the
Hrst Of the new year, and the first sec
ton Of road to be built under the new
plan viii be from HilO up the Hama
kua coast.
Speaking of this method of road
making yesterday, Chairman Kauhan'
said that an experimental strip of this
asphalt road had been laid down in the
DISTRICT of Kau about six years ago.
"This strip has been useG contin
hally and is practically as good toda!
as It was soon after it was laid" said
Mr.. Kauhane. - feel that something
pust be done in a systematic manner
for our roads, for we have greater dis
tances to cover than any other county
and simple macadam here has not
proved q success. While asphalt is
probably not as permanent as concrete
i believe II will prove far superior t.
any other general road work that hal
been done heretofore"

PRICES
N AUSTRALIA
Labor Government Boosts Wages
and Then Legislates Low Z
Prices For Sugar

BRISBANE, Australia, October Is,
l9l6--SO far az prices are concerned,
there is no change to report in the Aus
tralian sugar markets, but the question
Of supply is becoming a serious one, and
unless a settlement of the difficulties
created by the Dickson award for Geld
and mill workers is quickly reached, the
consequences may prove disastrous for
consumers.
This decision and proposed award by
Judge Dickson of the Industrial Court
provides for large increases in the wage
scale and changes in conditions under
which the laborers work on the plenta-
tons, and the planters say IL will be
impossible to produce cane under the
tntes and conditions as prescribed.
There is no intention whatever on the
part either of growers or millers to
create difficult situation, OF to deprive
The consumer of the necessaries Of life,
but the fact is generally admitted that
the terms and conditions of the award
are such as to make 1t impossible for
them to carry on their industry, except
at q direct loss on every ton of cane
harvested, and no one would expect
such sacrifice at the hands of any body
of producers.
BIames Labor Party
The responsibility for the shortage Of
supplies must rest with those who re-
fuse TO move in the matter of securing
my alienation of impossible conditions.
The real seriousness of the sugar sit
uation may be estimated from al article
which appeared in the Melbourne
"Argus, " under date August Is, some
time, of course, before the Dickson
award was issued. 1t is there pointed
out that, as the Australian production
was not expected this year to exceed
zoe, 900 tons it will be necessary to
import something like 10000 tons be
tween March and the end of the present
financial year, so as to carry us on
until the 1917 crop begins to come in.
Fhe "Argus" adds:
"The Commonwealth, having taken
over responsibility for the sugar sup
plies for the present season, as it did
for last season, the Treasurer will have
to make arrangements for the importa,
ion of the quantity required from
abroad.
A contract was made last year with
the Colonial Sugar Refining Company
under which the government took over
a certain quantity o. Java sugar it had
bought at cost price, and the company
Undertook to refine and distribute the
Queensland and New South Wales pro-
duction, less certain proportion re-
crvPd for the use Of the Millaquin Com.
Dany. This contract was carried out,
md considerable profit is understood to
have accrued to the Commonwealth,
fter making provision for the charges
agreed to with the refining company.
