EXCHANGE NOTES.

The government potato market di-
rector is h. L. Miller, Of Chicago,
and he announces that present mar
ket distributing channels will be as
little disturbed as possible this fall.
The government is not likely to set
any potato prices. The food admins
tration has adopted standards OF
grading potatoes. Round varieties
must pass over an inch and three
quarters screen. Not more than
live per cent of undersized potatoes
Will be allowed in any event. These
81 AIDES will be known as Nos. one
and two. Our local farmers should
preserve this information, 80 they
will know when prices are quoted
later on what is meant by the diff
ferent grades. The Exchange took up
by telegram with Mr.. Hoover, the
government food director, the matter
Of buying San Juan basin potatoes,
and beans, and has received a letter
stating that our request has been
placed in the hands of the proper
committee.
A great variety Of matters are
handled by the Exchange every week.
Here are few: A Lincoln, Neb.
man says that peaches are selling at
$3.50 and $4 bushel there and wants
us to ship several carloads. A Nc
Cook, Neb., firm wants us to quote
prices on potatoes and beans in car
lots +. o. b. McCook. A wholesale
hay firm at Albuquerque wants
prices on 100 tons Of baled alfalfa.
A young man in Phoenix, Aflz., wants
10 come up and pick fruit. A man
from Omaha and one from Idaho
Falls wish work In the fruit belt. A
Seattle firm wishes samples and
prices on beans. Two prospective
homesteaders want land descriptions.
A firm at Lumberton wants lumber
men. These inquiries come in a con-
slant stream.
A stenographer who would be COM
petent to handle general work can
find a splendid opening at the Ex-
change rooms.
Frost has damaged the late pota-
to crop in Minnesota, Michigan and
the two Dakotas, according to the
Kansas City Packer, at least ten per
cent. The freeze came last Sunday
and Monday.
A change is contemplated in the
arrangement of the Exchange rooms.
The house committee has not fully
decided on the details, but the gen.
eral idea is that the social features
of the Exchange shall be exclusively
for members, and the general public
will not be permitted the promiscu-
Gus use of the reading table and 9th
er privileges. 1t is also proposed
to put in some new billiard tables.
new furniture and in general improve
the club service for members. The
dues are so moderate that 1t is felt
by the directors that no one using
the rooms has any excuse for not be-
longing. The board Of trade feature
will be well taken care of in the
front Of the big room.

GOV. JAESCHKE
IS ON DRY DOCK

This morning the ex-German ref
ugee merchant steamer Gouverneur
Jaeschke, last of the former German
fleet remaining in Honolulu, went on
the Inter-Lsland drydock to have her
hull cleaned and painted.
1t is now believed that it will be
some time between July % and Au-
gust l before the Jaeschke is ready
to steam for San Francisco with
cargo of island sugar.
After she comes off the dock she
will be given dock trials OF her boil
ers and engines by U. S. Inspector Of
Boilers Thomas ]. Heeney. These
will be followed by a short run out
side to try out her compasses and
see If all her machinery is working
right. She will then begin to load
sugar for San Francisco, taking about
1900 tons She will probably load
here and at Hilo.
The local representative of the U.
s. shipping board figures July q or
20 for her departure, but the local U.
s. inspectors think it will be nearer
to August 1 before she gets away.

CADET OFFICERS
ONP. N. LINERS

The Pacific Mail has instituted a
system of cadet officers. the first time
in a quarter OF century. says the
San Francisco Chronicle OF July !,
Two cadets will be placed on each OF
the China liners and later such Off
GERS may be put on the Panama fleet.
Special instructions have been is
sued to masters OF the company as to
the duties of the cadets. and these
show the elaborate plans worked out
by Mail Company officials 10 train
their own corps of deck officers. The
instructions, issued by Captain John
Kinder, nautical adviser OF the com
pany, in part are:
These young men are TO be treat
ed as cadet officers. Their quarters
are on the boat deck and they will
mess in the officers mess room. and
We wish it distinctly understood that
We do not wish them to clean brass
work and do that class of work.
AT sea one of them is to be on
watch with the second officer and the
other one with the third officer, the
fourth officer, as before, keeping
watch with the chief officer.
In port we wish them to be in
structed in the handling and stowage
Of cargo, and it appears to US that the
test way this matter can be handled
will be by having one of them in at
tendance with the second or third Of
ficer when on duty at all times.
We wish them to be instructed in
the use of the various instruments OF
no vic ton load
log barometer, thermometer compass,
azimutn instruments, seXtant, etc.
Also, they must be taught how to keep
a log book and should keep the rough
deck log book under the direction OF
the officer of the watch.
Further, we wish them to keep
notebook and to report to
the master the ships position by dead
reckoning every day and by obserVa-
ton at least once each day when OBJ
servations are possible.
They should also be required to
work position by star, planet, etc. as
we'll as, by observations of the sun.
They should be required to take All
muths and amplitudes of the sun and
stars-in short, we wish them in
structed in everything that will tend
to make them first-class reliable Off
GERS for the company when they get
their licenses.
When on night watches they
should be required to make a round
of the ship at lea once each watch,
making a thorough inspection and re-
porting to the officers of the watch
They should further be instructed
in signaling, as this is getting daily
a more important feature of an Off
GERS business"

NO ONE BLAMED
FOR OIL BLAZE

After a thorough examination yes
terday OF the vessels oil burners, par
ticul2rIy Of the one which backfired
and started the blaze in the fire room,
the local L. S. inspectors of hulls and
boilers, Capt Joseph J. Meany and
Thomas J. Heeney, have decided that
the J. A. Motfett acciden; vas un.
4vo!dable.
The inspectors have cleared the OF.
iCers from responsibility for the fire,
and the tanker was allowed TO steam
for the coast today, in order not to
upset her schedule. 1t costs the Stand
ard Oil $500 day for every days
delay to the tanker, so that in her
Ease time is money.
NO material damage was done to the
hCffett by the blaze, and no inquiry
sill be held at the coast when she
arrives there, as no one was to blame
and there was no defect In the burn
erB
Further details Of the successful
fight made by the crew OF the Stand
ard Oil tanner !. 4. Moffett against
the fire which started from a flare
back of one Of the burners under the
main boilers in the fire room, were
learned today from Capt. J. E. Pfe'l
and other officers Of the vessel
Captain Pfeil praised the coopera
ton displayed by everyone in the
crew. The fire and engine room fore
es acted the minute the bareback &C.
CURED, by making the fire room air
tight, turning the ventilatOrs so they
would not catch the breeze, shutting
off the oil suction which feeds oil
to the fireboxes beneath the boilers,
while the deck force got four lines of
fire hose from the deck into action.
All this helped drown the blaze out in
record time. SO the only damage sus-
tanned was burning off or blistering
most Of the paint from the Moffetts
funnel. 1t hung in flakes foot long
today from the stack
Captain Pfeil thinks it likely the
bravery Of the crew will be rewarded
by the Standard Oil Company in an
appropriate manner. Had the tire
ever communicated to the $4,000 bar
rels of fuel oil in her cargo tanks the
vessel would have been resting on
tn bottom 24O miles from Honolulu
today. The fire put the Moffett's
out Of business by burning
off the insulation on the wires from
the dynamo to the radio room
J. A. McVay is chief engineer of the

consider the cause of the fire to be
