BIG ISLAND PRODUCER
WOULD SHIP FOOD HERE
IF RATES ARE GIVEN

At least % growers OF foodstuffs
on the Island of Hawaii would ship
their produce to Honolulu if special
rates were allowed by the railroad and
steamship companies, according to a
report which has been received by the
territorial food commission from its
agent on the Big Island.
The Hawaii Consolidated railroad
has already offered to make special
rates for growers wishing to get their
prodtce to the wharyes for shipment
to Honolulu That the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co. will not lower
its rates is seen from a statement re-
Gently given the Star-Bulletin by the
head {of the company. This official
added that the company probably
would increase, instead OF lower, its
rates.

COM MERCIAL NEW s.
100000 Tons Low
Grade Sugar In
Philippines UnsOId

MANILA, P l.. July 2S.-While 1916
saw 4 gain in, the increase in circu-
lation Of money in the Philippine is
lands which amounted to $4,000. 900
pesos, the first six months Of this
year will exceed that record increase
by 100000 pesos. The circulation
since January has amounted to S.
100000 pesos. These figures, say To-
cal economists, reflect directly the
highly favorable trade conditions that
have been maintained for more than
two years in the Philippine islands.
The wealth OF the islands Is increas-
ing rapidly. In Manila alone, the as
sessed value of taxable property to
day, is over I03, 900, 900 pesos, which
is more than 100000 pesos above
1916. Recent agricultural development
In the provinces, the extent Of which
1t Is impossible to calculate exactly.
makes it certain that the increases
In property values in other parts Of
the islands have far exceeded Ma.
nila's record. The success that At
tended the single weeks campaign for
subscriptions to the liberty loan testi-
fled to the presence OF much available
money in Manila. Banks and other
agencies which. have all the funds
which they can readily make use Of
are another testimonial to the pros
perity Of the islands.
There is but one drawback to the
general outlook-prices- for sugar and
copra in the United States are such
as to make it Improbable to pay the
current transpacific freight rates. The
chief concern is felt as to sugar
There are upwards Of 100000 tons Of
low grade sugar from the crop har-
vested last fan in the sugar provinces,
lying In warehouses; A large part
Of the sugar has heretofore gone to
China and Japan, but conditions in
China have practically closed the mar
ket there. An unusually large crop
Of Formosan sugar has reduced the
japanese demand for the Philippine
product to a minimum
Low grade sugar cannot command
good prices in the American markets,
hence the present rate on sugar to the
Pacific coast, which is $35 q ton,
makes its shipment to the United
States a losing proposition. How
ever, it has been thought that the
dispatch Of the Communicated Ger
man vessels to: the United States by
the Philippine government would Of
fer enough available cargo space to
transport the sugar. The govern
ment has assured. the sugar planters
that their space needs would be met.
:. Nevertheless the government, in Or
der not to compete, with commercial
liners, Is making its rates conform as
much as possible to commercial rates.
Hence the rate on sugar must "ba low:
cred Or ths sugar men must be pre-.
pared to pocket q considerable loss BY
a sale, probably to, Japan, in order
to, clear their warehouses to make
room for the new crop which viii be-
gin to come in in November.
The situation as regards copra is
much the same, though there are not
such enormous stocks Of copra as Of
sugar; and the copra dealers can hold
their crop for better prices.

HILO, August 13.-That this city Is

is manifested in the willingness OF
the city to cooperate with the bust
ness men in giving the community
an efficient water system. The eA-
penditure Of $4,000 at the present time
Is q matter OF much concern since
the treasury is not in an altogether
healthy condition. but every dollar
spent in the betterment Of the water
supply means money we'll spent.
In connection with the proposed
bringing to Hilo of an expert for the
purpose of making a survey Of water
sources, Supervisor Lyman stated
that for all necessary purposes he
thought there was a sufficiency OF
water, and that the trouble lay In the
piping system and the inefficiency OF
the fire department relative to meth
DDS of up-to-date fire fighting.
Mr. Plankington, manager OF the
Hilo Electric company, on being asked
If the taking Of water from above
his plant would in any way interfere
with the successful operation. replied
that it would, and concurred in the
suggestion of plan which would lift
the water by pump station imme-
diately below where the water
emerges from the big wheel of the
plant. This, however, being done as
a means Of providing constant sup
ply of water from a suggested reser'
voir directly above the city.
Whatever else may be done in the
future. the supervisors passed a res
olution to have an expert surveyor

putting US straight and settling def
initely, the future water supply OF our
thriving little city. Two votes were
recorded against the resolution cali
