lands. United States shipping board
News to this effect was conveyed
to Mr.. Morse by cable he received
yesterday from the shipping board rep
resentatiVe in San Francisco. Just
what his duties will be is as yet I'M
known to Mr.. Morse.
A combined office of the L. S. ship
ping board and the American Ha-
waiian Steamship Co. is to be opened
tomorrow ip the Stangenwald build
ing, The decision to secure separate
offices for the steamship COMPANY
was made after Hackfeld & Co. were
released as the general agents for the
steamer line a few weeks ago.
1t is presumed Mr.. Morse IS to act
as the shipping boards supervisor
over all the shipping firms here doing
business under the shipping board,
but that the business of tie agencies
will not be affected.
Likely, requests for cargo space to
and from the islands, and the de-
spatch of various vessels from here to
their destinations, will rest solely
with Mr.. Morse, acting under the in.
structions of the shipping board.
1t is generally believed that the ap-
pointment of a divisional shipping
agent for the islands will tend to the
betterment of Shipping conditions for
Hawaii, as there will be personal
representative through whom the
needs here can be placed before the
shipping board.

CANE-PAPER
EXPERIMENTS
ARE SUCCESS
O!aa Manager Returns From
Boston Bringing Samples of
By-Product From HaWaii'S
Fields

That paper of all kinds can be
manufactured at low cost from Ha
waiian sugar cane bagasse which facts
holds promise of furnishing a new and
profitable industry for Hawaii was re
ported by C. F. Eckart, manager OF
Olaa plantation, this morning upon
his arrival in Honolulu from Boston
where Tor the past few months he has
supervised the successful experiments
made along these lines.
M. Eckart brought back with him
samples of mulching paper made
which were of black variety but OF
exceptionally good quality. The new
mulch paper is called asphah-felt and
will be used to cover the sugar fields
to hold down the weeds. The cane be-
ing sitter and stronger able to
break through the mulch PAPER while
the weeds being tender are unable to
penetrate and must die.
The manufacture of wrapping pa.
per, news print paper and book paper
from Hawaiian sugar cane bagasse
now may be undertaken if the direct
ors of the company deem the expert
mental results warrant it.
AS to the cost of manufacturing pa
per from bagasse Mr.. Eckart was 81.
lent except on the point that the cost
of making paper of all kinds from ba-
gasse would be a great deal cheaper
than making 1t from pulp. He remark;
ed that paper of almost any kind
manufactured from bagasse could
easily compete with paper made from
pulp or any other raw material or
the market. s.9+-
Just what the directors of Olaa
plantation intend to do in the way OF
making paper has not been decided.
but it Is understood that they will
guild such a plant for mulch paper
which can be enlarged
from time to time in case the need
is apparent and Nm case it IS deemed
advisable to go into the general paper
making business On a big scale.

John II. Clegg, recently of Honolulu
where he was manager of the pro
vision department of the Hawaii Meat
Co., and now member of the British
Expeditionary Force, was one OF those
injured In the Halifax disaster on De
cember 6.
News that the formera Honolulan
was among the injured has just been
received by Land Commissioner Bert.
ram G. Rivenburgh in q letter from
Mr.. Clegg's fatherin-law, @. ]. Waller,
treasurer and manager of the Hawaii
Meat Co. H.
The extent of Clegg's injuries is not
known. The letter from Mr.. Waller,
who is now in San Francisco, states
that a wireless message to Mrs. Clegg
bore the brief information that he was
injured. She left as soon a possible
r4falifax. r.. :... n. H.. ". r.
Clegg enlisted for the British army
a few months ago. He was q British
er by birth and had lived in Hawali
for about five years. He had been
with the Hawaii Meat Co. during that
time and had worked up to the posi-
ton OF manager OF the provision de
partment on Bethel street. They lived
on Thurston avenue. Clegg was a
member Of the Neighborhood Tennis
club on Hastings street. X
A card only recently received by
Mr.. Rivenburgh from Mr.. clegg stated
that he was feeling fine and enjoying
life in the army. He expected to sail
at once for England 1t is probable
that the card was mailed just before
the disaster and that the soldier may
have been on a transport In the harbor
when the explosion occurred. ri
