DROUGHT ON HAWAII is WORST in
HISTORY OF SUGAR INDUSTRY
Began Earlier Than the Dry Spell Of 1901 and Rainfall For Twelve
Months Is Fifty Percent Less Than Normal Years Moisture

When IL is said or published that the
drought of 1901 was more severe than
the drought Of the present year on
Hawaii the assertion is made from rec.
olecticn and not from actual statistics
and figures. The present drought is
the worst in the recorded history Of the
sugar industry of that island as is
shown by the records of Honokaa Plan
tation and Pacific Sugar Mill aud the
figures ON file in the Office Of the agent
here. II Is true that during the past
six months, the dryest Of the protracted
ny spel, ,heie are instances when the
figures are slightly higher than the cor.
responding month, in 1901, but when
the rainfall for a whole month is less
than an inch and half or even an
inch, small fraction of an inch of
mon. ,ure Jor he month Is unimportant.
II IL the total for the. season that
counts. M
Uo..,p risons Tell Tale .# &sf
At Honokaa the rainfall for the
first nine months of this year has been
nniv If!5 percent of the moisture that
fell during the first nine months of
the wear 1901. AT Pacific Mill the pre-
eipitation up to Octobcr this year
amounts 80 only 1858 percent of the
rainfall from December 81 to October
in the year 1901. - ~
II is in the fact that the 1917 drought
began earlier than other droughts that
il has been more serious. In 1901 there
were good rains in January, February
and March while this year there was
n shortage in moisture for those months,
the result being that in the former
drought the ground was well soaked,
fun of moisture when dry weather set
in while this year il was not. AT Ho7
i,okaa the rainfall for the first three
months of this year was 9.36N inches
as compared with 1851 inches for the
same period Of 1901 and at Pacific Mill
6.47 inches in comparison with 2Q.45
inches. r." ~ ,.sR. VI ~,
Pacific Mill has an elevation of 275
feet above sea level and Honokaa 400
feet, the greater elevation of the lat
ter explaining its larger rainfall.

The following table makes clear the
weather conditions on the two planta-
tions during the two wears mentioned:

BREAK
RECORDS IN EXPORTS

WASHINGTON, October All rec
ords for exports from the Philippine
Islands v'erc broken during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1917, according
to an announcement today by the Blu
reau of insular affairs of the war de-
partment,t Showing the effects of the
war on the trade of the islands.
The total exports for the year are
represented at nearly $72,000,00o, or
$40 100000 more than the previous
year, and imports at approximately
$4,000, 00p, an increase of 100000 600.
At the same time it is explained that
the largest figures on analysis express
advancing war prices rather than any
general development in trade due to
large consumption and increased pro
Junction. e.. .
The actual quantities of hemp, sugar
and cOpra, the three leading articles of
export shipped out of the islands, were
all below last year 3, but in each in
stance prices were higher, amounting
in the case of hemp TO an increase Of
rs percent in price. On the other
hand, exports Of cocoanut I'll doubled
in quantity. The United States con
tinued to be the chief market for the
oil and for the first time took the lead
in the copra trade heretofore con-
trolled by France. va
Demand for Cigars ~ %as
The statement says in part, r
"The American demand for the
Philippine cigar and doubling of
shipments to the United States was
the ruling feature in 80 percent
increase in the value of the cigar
trade, shipments to other count rieS
rs a whole falling to even a lower
level than had hitherto prevailed dur
| ing the war. ~
"Though the quantity of leaf tobac-
60 was about the same, materially bet
ter prices were realized and the United
States, for the first time, assumed
some Importance in this trade, taking
relatively high grade leaf. Philip
pine embroideries continued to in
creasinGly profit by the disturbed con
ditions in Europe, with $50 percent
increase over the previous year and
supplied the American market to the
value of $1,500,000. s.-.......
United States Gains ,:.... ..
with the practical completion OF
three years of war, a comparison Of
he country's distribution of Philip
,, Tino trade in 1917 with ante-bellum
conditions of 1914 is of interest. In
'he import trade the proportion of the
United States increased from 81 to SO
percent Of the total. The Japanese
increase was from to IL percent,
while a smaller gain was recorded by
China, Es..
"The British proportion declined
from to percent, the Australian
from 5 TO . and the French from to
| !, while 6 pereent credited 10 Germany
n i0l4 virtually disappeared in 1917.
In exports the salient feature was the
increase in shipments to the United
! states from 43 to 90 percent of the
total. The proportion Of the United
| Kingdom declined from II to II per
cent, due chiefly to the much reduced
hemp trade of 1917. while thef diver
sion of edpra to the United Stairs en-
tered largely into the, French decline
from 8 TO 3 percent,
Shipments to Germany amounting
20 ! percent of the total i1 1914 dis
appeC ed while 4 new trade Of Noine

The Nenana news., 1917-07-21
Wednesdays Bulletin COMMISSION EMPLOYEES
 ORGANIZE LABOR UNION

The newest thing in the way of Interior labor organizations is the Nenana Labor union, which came into existence last night at largely attended meeting of the employees of the Alaskan Engineering commits sion, held in the Commission ma chine shop. The union starts off with a membership approXimating 16O, and it is expected that this number will Ee doubled by the time the next meeting is held and the organization perfected. Jack ONeill was elected president and Robert Flames secretary.
 It is the intention to restrict the membership to employees of the Commission and to handle all ques- tions relating to labor and general working conditions through the or ganization, as suggested by Commits sioner Riggs in his address at the Coliseum several days ago. The purpose of the organization is one of protection, both for the men en- ployed and for the Commission, and it is believed that the relations be- tween the two will be harmonious and generally satisfactory to all con- cerned
 The men who signed the member ship roll have no grievances to air and it is not the intention of the organization to make any demands upon the Commission. It is simply a combination of labor to handle those questions which arise naturally, from time to time, as in the case of every large enterprise. Whether or not the local union will seek affilia- tion with the Anchorage body or some larger body will be determined after the organization has been per fected At present there appears to be strong sentiment against such an affiliation.

COLONEL IS PLEASED
 WITH LOCAL STATION

Colonel Mcdonald, inspector of the Western department, who has been in Nenana during the week on his first trip thru the Territory, express ed himself as being highly pleased with the manner in which the local signal corps station is conducted. This station, he said, was one of the best he had visited, and he was par ticularly impressed by the large amount of business handled by such small force.
 Recognizing the need of more help, the colonel ordered two more men transferred to Nenana, and one of them, Corporal Crowder, has al ready arrived.
 Colonel Mcdonald is now visiting the up-river stations and will return to the Outside by way of St. Mi chael. He is making the trip on the government steamer Jacobs.
