Especial Star Bulletin COrrespondeues)
HILO, Oct. l3.-That a new area
for cane raising. and one which Is
said to be composed of the very best
soil. and which is situated in Waipio
Valley. is about to be opened up. Is
the report Of "a Hilo business man
who returned from that district yes
terday. There is a strip of land
about mile in width by five miles in
length in the tract II is we'll
watered, and at present much Of it Is
planted to rice and taro,
The land is at present said to be
under lease to the Honokaa Sugar
Plantation and the talk OF planting
it to cane is causing a feeling among
those residing there that they are
likely to be dispossessed through
such proceedings. There are a num-
Der of owners Of kuleanas among the
present residents, but these cannot
be affected by the contemplated
change. The speaker stated that the
soil is OF such nature as to not re-
quire replanting, as is the. case on
most OF the plantations, rattoons be-
ing supported for any number OF
years, as the result Of the rich, deep
loan which has been formed through
the land having been washed from
the mountain top.
The place referred to Is one Of the
greatest taro producing districts on
the island and in case the growers
of this popular native food are forced
from the land it will have much to
do with the supply of taro for CONNER
cial purposes. Those who own their
land will be the only ones who can
grow the staple food and as a con-
sequence the supply grown will
necessarily be less than the de-
mand. The Honokaa plantation IN
case the land is planted to cane will
probably haul the product to its
mill. which is distance of about
twelve miles from the valley.
However, there is some talk that a
separate mill may be erected in the
valley, as the hundreds of acres of
excellent cane land are of such a
productive nature as to insure an ex-
traCrdinary erop.-Post.

The firmness displayed by the non

explanation appears TO be a correct

TO SUSPEND DIVIDENDS

At a meeting yesterday of the di
rectors of the Olaa Plantation Co., it
was decided to suspend all dividends
for the time being, at least, after the
payment of the December dividend.
The reason given for this action was
that the 1918 crop will be short, due
to the drought and the prevalence of
the leaf hopper on the Big Island.

Washington. Aug. 3.--Immediate
communicating Of most Of the vessels
under construction in American ship
building plants was decided on today
by the shipping board. The step is
preliminary to tho requisitioning OF
American tonnage already on the seas
and will be taken to speed construc.
ton so that the yards may be cleared
for building purposes for which the
government has let contracts.
There are building in the yards of
the country about 700 ships totalling
more than 100000 In tonnage, most
OF 1t for foreign accounts. Hulls and
contracts both will be taken over. the
final disposition of tho foreign craft
to be left to negotiations between the
United States and the governments
concerned. The completed American
ships will be retained by the board
for operation.

was one Of the features of the pro-
gram for shipbuilding announced by
Major General Goethals just before lie

Ing of this program was one of the
things that led to Mr.. Denman's re-

General Goethals' plan for construc-
ting two great government owned
ship-yards for building fabricated
steel ships will be taken up by the
board later. 1t is understood Rear Ad-
miral Capps. now manager Of the
fleet corporation, is opposed to the
form Of contracts proposed by the
general for this work and that the
whole scheme may be abandoned. In
that event the fabricated ships will ne

account.
