her an efficient helper in gathering at
times important information regarding
the histories OF the older families Of

SOLF ISSFATION
SHIP At PAGO'

The ex-German steamer SOlf. seize1

thorities when the United States en-
tered the war against Germany, has
been assigned to the navy department
and is being used today as station ship
at Uncle Sans Samoan base, accord
ing to Capt. J. H. Trask, an Oceanic
commander in port today.
The Solf was completed only a few
months before the European war be-
gan in 1914. She sought refuge in
Pago-Pago harbor at once. She was
built for a trading service between
Apia and Pago-Pago, in the American
Samoan group of islands.
Repairs to the Solf have been COM
pleted and she makes a fine, sturdy
vessel for the naval station at Page.

station ship was the U. S. S. Fortune,

HILO, July 16.-From figures now
available It is learned that during
the month of May last, the contrac.
tor for the Hilo breakwater placed
4736 tons of Waipio quarry rock and
5009 tons of Waiakea quarry rock on
the breskwater.
The good record from the Waiakea
quarry was made possible by the use
OF the special dump" barge that was
desiened by former Contractor Marsh
ali who, from May, 1916, to the time
that he was forced out OF the con-
struction work, dumped between four
and five thousand tons OF rock from
the Waiakea quarry per month. The
present contractor has kept up the
average since then from this partic-
ular quarry but the Waipio delivery
has fallen off.
In all, up to May 81, the present
contractor has dumped from the Waia'
kea quarry, 23,S09 tons while he has
also placed 1926 tons from the Wal
uio quarry. This means an average

instance a grower OF onions can not
expect a good price later than June /.
Of every year, but in March, April and
early May he can expect handsome

in growing onions with a view of get

onions in those months would also
tend to bring down to a more reason

time, and wuld be a distinct benefit

The same applies to potatoes. They
can be grown here to catch the early
market, and to this end our farmers
should urge their efforts. Everything
