HILO, Oct. 26.-At the meeting OF
the Association of the Engineers OF
Hawaii, which was held on Tuesday
last, Contractor Richard Deming, of
the Hilo breakwater job, addressed
the members on the subject of the big
artificial reef. He stated that he
would come to the end of his contract
at very early date and said that the
sub-base will be completed for a
length of $3.50 feet and the superstruc-
ture for length of $500 feet at that
time. The original estimate of the
United States engineers was for to-
tai length of breakwater of 10000 feet
OF the original amount OF. money esti.
mated as the cost of this 10000 feet,
there remains 100000 still to be ap-
prop riated, stated the speaker.
Mr.. Deming gave It is his opinion
that, according to present costs of
material and operation this amount of
money would hardly complete the
breakwater beyond the 1900 feet sta
ton, which would be POO feet past
the present mark. thus leaving $500
feet to completely end the work,
Mr. Deming also said that the last
rivers and harbors bill contained an
item of $4,000 for the improvement
of Hilo harbor and that he presumed
it was for the further extension of the
breakwater, but that he bad been un-
able to ascertain any further details

Mrs. Bloor, who is 81 years old,

that he carried Bible in his lett

Potato Prices Drop When
Backyard Crop Shoots Up

The potato crop which is Aourishing
in a million gardens and fields is be-
ginning to have its effect upon the
local market for the spuds. During
the last week the price of new pota-
toes has steadily fallen, making to-
tai drop during the week OF about Is
cents on the peck. The indications
are that the crop will be so good
that even the fellows who are trying
to corner the market and pinch the
public on the prices of this necessary
vegetable are apt to find themselves
without much of a market because
nearly everybody will be digging them
right out of their own back yards
or buying them from their neighbors.
Berries are here in great plenty.
Green gooseberries, blackberries, To-
ganberries and raspberries are on the
market in goodly quantities and now

Canning Fruits
Blu the Cold Pack Method

While the open kettle or hot pack
method of fruit canning is quite sat
isfactory, the cold pack system i:
somewhat easier as the work over a
hot stove l. minimized, The results are
considered more uniform, and the
fruit keeps its color and shape some
what better.
The general directions are similar to
the cold pack method for vegetables,
except that for soft, rather sweet
fruits the blanching and cold dipping
are omitted, The fruit is washed,
blanched and cold dipped in most
cases, packed in sterilized jars, the
jars filled with syrup to one-fourth
inch from the top, partially sealed.
then processed and immedia ely sealed
completely. The time of processing
is much shorter, about twenty min
utes for most fruits. For detailed de-
scriptiop OF the cold pack process,
the reader is referred to the article
in this column Of last Tuesday,
June 70.
To make the syrup for the fruit,
mix the desired amounts OF sugar and
water heat to boiling and boil two
minutes. In general allow half as
much water as the capacity Of the jars
to be filled; that is, one pint of water
made into syrup for quart jar.
To keep berries from rising to the
top of jar. wash the berries, cover
scantily with sugar over night, then
proceed as usual
Jams.
The old-fashioned jam of our
grandmothers day is coming back in
to its own. Jams are almost uni
formly successful, they require less
labor than jellies in the preparation,
and they can be kept in any kind of
jars, provided the jars are sealed with
parafine. A general rule for jam
making is to wash the fruit, weigh it,
and add pound for pound Of sugar,
II the fruit is very tart, as goose
berries; or threc-fourths pound sugar
to one pound of fruit for fruits of
average sourness. Bring to a slow
boil, then cook gently, with frequent
stirring. for forty-fve minutes. Pour
into sterilized glasses and seal. If the
fruit is not very juicy. it amay be
necessary to add small amount Of
water at the start.
Cherry Jam.
quarters pound sugar.
One pound stemmed and stoned
cherries,
Place in sauce pan and cook until
thick. Fill into jelly glasses; allow
the jam to cool, and then cover the
glasses with paro-wax. Seal and store
in the usual manner for jellies.
Preserved Cherries.
Stem and stone the cherries. Weigh
after stoning, allowing one-half
pound Of sugar to each pound of
cherries. To each pound of sugar al
low one-half cupful of water. Place in
a sauce pan and stir until well dis
solved. Bring to boil and cook for
