BANANA PALMS
FOR GRAINBAGS
Plan OF farmer

WALI.A WALL. Wash, Jan. IA
C. p. Stewart, speaking before the
Farmers Union today, recommended
the use of the fiber OF the banana
palm, thousands OF tons of which are
wasted annually. as a substitute for
jute in making grain bags. Bags from
banana fiber would be three times as
strong and last four times as long
as jute bags, he said Jute fiber is
not as strong as IL was 10 years ago
and each year the crop Is getting
poorer. the reason being that natives
of India are raising more than they
can properly care for, the speaker
said. Jute is raised In one country
and bananas in L. He predicted
farmers will not be able TO buy all
the jute bags they need this year.
Warden Henry Drum of the state
prison recommended that Washing
ton and California cooperate in ex.
periments with the banana palm fiber
Small quantities Of the banana fiber
experimental with at the prison have
been satisfactory. Sacks would be
manufactured more eheaply with
banana fiber than with jute. the war.
den declared Warden Drum recon-.
mended that the Farmers Union take
up with the legislature the matter OF
an appropriation for experiments.

That the Pacific Mail is planning
to compete actively with the T.. X. X.
and other japanese lines for good
share of Oriental and Philippine bust.
ness, by putting on more ships, is
indicated in an address made by John
H. Rosseter. vice-presldent and gen.
eral manager of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, last month in
Manila before tine Merchants Associ.
alton in the Philippine capital.
Rosseter said, according to the
Manila papers, the company hopes
eventually to establish a fast service
between San Francisco and the Philip
pines, taking but Is or 16 days. The
two Mail liners now. on the transpaci-
fic run, Venezuela and Ecuador, now
take 81 days, calling at Shanghai be-
fore going to Manila on the outward
trip. On the return trip no call is
made at Manila.
Line Paid no Dividends
Rosseter said in part,
The withdrawal of the Pacific Mail
from the Pacific trade / looked upon
as a very regrettable thing" contin-
ued the speaker, 'and almost every
body in San Francisco shared this
view with me. The real reason for
that action was the fact that for sew
eral years the Pacific. Mail had paid
no dividends on its stock, and the
outlook was even darker at the open
ing of the European war.
Wants to Start Again
The ambition of the company now
is to reestablish the service, and it is
in this connection that my trip, which
is largely one of investigation, is be-
ing made. How this ambition has man
ifested itself may be seen already, for
while the Pacific Mail has not come
forward with announcements of what
it was going to do, IL has already put
upon the transpacific run three YES
sells which were destined for its South
American trade
Predicts 15-pay Trips
81 am making no promises-cau
what say dream, if you will, but
remember that dreams sometimes
come true. We want to establish a
line running from the United States
direct to Manila, or possibly via Ho.
nolulu. and making the trip in Is or
16 days see by your applause that
it would be appreciated.
