LAND AVAILABLE
F0RF0ODCROPS
Six Hundred Acres Near PahaIa
Can Be Used II Labor To
y. Work Il Is Found :

Six hundred acres of good cane land
near Pahala, Hawaii, could be turned
over TO the Territorial Food Commits
sion for emergency food production, II
labor could be secured TO work Il. This
land Is not being used by the planta-
tion because Of the fact that the lease
on 1t runs out in year. There would
not be time to take of crop of cane
in twelve months, but short-term crops
could be harvested with advantage.
The suggestion for the use Of this
land comes from James Campsie, man.
ager Of the Hawaiian Agricultural
Company at Pahala, through r. A.
Goff, county agent for Puma and North
Kau. In his report Goff states that
very. little food stuff is grown In North
Kau, where most Of the land is devoted
to raising sugar on Pahala plantation
and beef on the Kapapala ranch. The
homesteaders are all growing cane and
are not willing TO plant vegetables.
Kau can take care Of itself on the food
question, according to Goff, but will not
be able to raise anything for outside
shipment. ". ~
Cassava cuttings TO plant FIVE acres
were asked for by Campsie. One thou
sand cuttings were secured from Doctor
Baldwin Of Maui, but are not sufficient,
The crop win be used for hog feed
Sixty pounds of Hamakua hybrid pc.
tatoes were sent by Golf to Campsie,
who is distributing them among some
Of the men on the plantation.
About fifty acres of vegetables are
under cultivation in the Glenwood dis
trict, and cabbages and garden truck
are being sent daily to Hilo and Homo
lulu. A few acres Of corn have been
planted for feed. The farmers ask for
guarantees that they will be able

Analysis of the new rates shows thai
the old custom of charging 81 for Ger
tain of the deck rooms on the Mauna

The rate to Hilo, formerly $3.50, is
advanced to $l3.75 making $27.5O for
the round trip as against SIS as former

the coupon ticket rate for the Volcano
trip, an additional charge to be made
for the hotel end of the coupon. The
old $50 rate for the popular three-day
trip is increased materially. The rate
to Lahaina is increased half q dollar,

on the part of the shipping firm that

FIRE THREATENS
 BUSINESS SECTION

The Buck building on Front street, occupied by the Cozy Cafe, was com pletely destroyed by fire early this morning. The loss on building and contents was total, there being no in surance.
 The fire was discovered shortly be- fore one o'clock by John James, who was passing the building on his way to his home from the Majestic bil- Hard hall, where he is employed. James gave an alarm by shooting his revolver and in a few moments prac- tically every male citizen of the town was at the scene.
 The fire had then gained too much headway to be extinguished and the efforts of the men present were di- rected towards saving the K. c. Smith residence on the west, and the Hol- brook State Bank building on the east, occupied by the Scott millinery store and the Fischer tailoring es- tablishment. By hard work these buildings were saved, men carrying water in buckets and throwing it on the buildings.-Holbrook News, Oct 12,
