Of JAPANESEFOR
INCREASED WAGE

That the average monthly wage
paid by the plantations TO day la,
borers is $24.S4 which with the av-
erage bonus of $l2.76 makes total
OF $3.50 besides which quarters,
fuel. water and medical and hospital
attendance are supplied free, Is the
statement issued yesterday by Royal
D. Mead. director Of the Sugar Plant
ers' Association bureau Of labor and
statistics, in answer to the organiza-
ton of Japanese business and profes-
Eional men last Monday night TO Sc
cure better wages for the agricultural

Mr.. Mead also shows that the short

men receive $25.O6 monthly and bo-
nus Of $15.SS, and cultivation contrac-
tors, both men and women. receive
$36.76 monthly and $16.23 bonus.
These figures Mr.. Mead says are
based on what was paid to October
81, 1916, but this year he expects the
bonuses will amount to much more.
The bonus percentage for the year
ending October 81, 1916, was on the
average Of $52.95 per cent for a total
of $4,003, 6S4.99. of which the Jap
anese got $2,239,085.52. Up to July
81 this year the rate Of bonus is Sc

present price Of sugar continues for
the rest Of the year, October 81, the
rate will be not less than 70 per cent.

Land LEASING
BILL AGREEMENT
holsters OIL

san FRANCISCO, Cal, August II.
No stock traded on the local ex.
changes has Oeen SO quick TO respond
to favorable news as Honolulu Con-
solidated Oil, which has been eXper-
fencing numerous periods Of depre3-
sion because Of the holding up Of the
company's application for = patent
to Ia part OF abe land claimed by II
in the Midway field. Whenever any
news that may be construed as taV'
orable to claimants on oil land With
drawn from entry in California comes
through from Washington Of from the
courts. speculative interest in the
stock is quickened and buying fur
~. that is not always wholly specu-
lative, brings about a rise in the
price.
Such an exhibition was furnished
by the stock in the unlisted depart
ment of the stock and bond exchange
yesterday and it could be traced d.
rectly to the agreement reached by
United States senators on the fsIeral
land leasing bill.
The stock, which sold at $4.2j, on
Friday, when it was none too strong
at that figure, was suddenly n de-
mand yesterday, with nearly 400
shares changing hands in the board
room at rising prices. BoardrCom
purchases lifted the price to $40, and
it closed firm after some small blocks
had been sold at $3.50.
1t was stated, unofficial!y, by. par
ties who have followed the with
drawal litigation closely tina: the lat
est development in Washington was
the most favorable, as far as opera
tors on withdrawn lands are con-
cerned, that has been nnt''d since the
withdrawal litigation commenced.
The Honolulu company's applica'
ton for a patent to a part Of its Mid
way land has been heard and sub
mitted fer d second time 20 the reg
istrar and receiver of the land office.
The first decision. granting a clear
listing, was set aside upon receipt OF
instructions received from the gem
eral land office after the application
had been acted on.

WOULD CONTROL
SUGAR PRICES
IN ARGENTINA

WASHINGTON, D. CA law Of
the Argentine nation, dated June 7,
1917, just published, would appear to
mark the end Of the efforts of this
government to keep the price of sug-
ar to the consumer within reasonable
bounds by permitting the Importation
of specified quantities at a low rate
of duty and with an undertaking on
the part of the importing firms to
place the sugar on the market at not
above fixed wholesale price, says a
Commerce report. The executive de-
crees authorizing these imports pro-
vided for the importation of $4,000
tons of sugar to be offered wholesale
at a maximum price of IL centavos
Argentine paper currency ($O.174
United States currency per kilo of
2.2046 pounds, import houses of this
city agreeing to bring in that amount
under conditions specified by the gov.
eminent; in fact, bids were presented
for the importation of about 10000
tons, and subsequent DEGREES raised
the limit to this latter amount.
These measures do not appear to
have been successful in the object
sought. During the past several
months, while the contract sugar was
coming into the country, its price on
this market has been steadily rising,
and the ordinary grade is now being
sold at 9 centavos paper ($0.382
United States currency retail. Law
1928 authorizes the executive pow
er to purchase or appropriate all
sugar now in the customs warehouses
or that may hereafter arrive in the
country imported under the agree
ment with the government. The gov.
eminent will pay for the sugar the
price stipulated in this agreement,
and will sell it at Al centaves per
kilo. In the meantime, the treasury
department is ordered to proceed le-
gally against those importers who, it
is alleged, have by various subter.
fuges evaded their obligation to place
the sugar upon the market at the
price agreed upon. IT is said that,
although the government contracted
with many different importers, the
sugar after entrance soon found its
way into the hands of a monopoly.
While it is true that the prevailing
high prices of sugar everywhere rem
der this situation in Argentine more
acute than ever, the price of sugar
to the consumer in this country has
always been a problem closely re-
lated to the Development of the local
sugar industry in the province OF. tn.
cuman. The long protection given
to this infant industry has Of late
been the subject Of considerable crit
iciSm.

CANECROPSAR
HIT BY DROUGHT

John w. Waldron, treasurer OF F.
! A. Schaefer & Co., agents for the
Honokaa and Kukuihaele plantations,
who recently visited these properties,
says that the seriousness Of the
drought in that section Of the Big Is
! land has not been exaggerated. AT
best, half of the next crops is gone,
| he says, unless the district gets as
much as six inches of rain this month
or early next: The drought started
in February and it has been a real
one for six months, he declares.
The only hope Mr. Waldron has
for a good crop next year is that
within the next month honokaa and
Kukuihaele get a good soaking rain
Such a one might improve things
greatly" he asserts.
1.-THE dry belt extends from North
Point right down the coast, taking In
all Kohala and Hamakua and a little
of North Hilo. l will not undertake
to speak for the other plantations
in that dry belt, but l will say for
Honokaa and Pacific Mill that the
situation as to next years crop IS a
very grave one. Of course there is
still some hopes, if there shall be
good early rains such as August has
often brought" Mr.. Waldron says.
In 1897, when conditions more
nearly approached the present at Ho-
nokaa, the rainfall for the first four
months of the year was only 11.43
inches, or IL of an inch more than
this year, for the same period.
There is some yellow cane on
Maui, says John L. Fleming. who was
on the Valley Island last week, but
the damage there is not nearly so
great as reported on Hawaii. The
Waikiki Plantation Co. and the Maui
Agricultural Co. have suffered some
loss, as have also the Hawaiian Com
mercial and Pioneer. But the latter
two properties have had the least
losses because of the acreage in the
low lands, under irrigation with
pumps.
A half-inch rainfall occurred on
Maui last Saturday. On Maui there
will be reductions in the estimates
Of the 1918 crop but nothing to COM
pare Will IuOoS Ludl Will nave "
be made by numbers of plantations
on the island of Hawaii.
In the week ending August II the
rainfall reported from North kohala
and Hamakua observation stations to
the weather bureau was: Puakea
Ranch, OILS; Kohala Mill, 0.29: Ko-
hala Mission, OPS; Multi, 034; Ho-
nokaa, none; Paauhau, none. In that
part of North Hilo that has been at.
fected. Ookala reported O.1S: Lau-
pahoehoe, 0.2O and Honohino, O50.
In South Hilo at Honomu the fall
was 0.32, and for the previous two
weeks, 2.12.

SAN FRANCISCO, Avg 12.-In
F. view OF the fact that the stock O.
tire Honolulu Oil company has been
=. slowly, but surely, advancing in the
Z market during the last month, not
withstanding the fact that the general
. course OF the. market for Other Sc
curitics has been haltinG, and at times
B frankly reactionary, a SURVEY Of the
prCsent condition and the prospective
outlook OF this company seems to be
warranted.
Yesterday the stock sold up to $4.7j
share.
The following facts were asCer.
tanned by inquiry from a person
closely identified with the company:
The company has outstanding three
million shares of the par value OF 81
share, upon which It is paying az
preEent dividends Of one cent per
share per month.
3. These dividends are derived solely
from the operation OF the oil wells
on 1000 acres Of patented land
owned by the company. and from the
proceeds of the operation OF thess
same wells a sufficient sum is de-
rived 10 defray the expenses Of all
the development under way on the
unpatented lands of the company,
which comprise about 2700 acres.
This acreage, consisting OF seven
teen quarter sections in the Buena
Vista field, are in litigation with the
T9nffAH Gfafoo fS0uQPnmAnf
As has been published in this
column, Captain Matson expended
100000 on this property prior tc
President Taft's withdrawal order,
and this unpatented acreage was free
listed for patent by the United States
Land Department. e.
At the special behest Of President
Wilson the order of free-listing OF
this acreage was subsequently can
celled, and all the money that has
been derived from the sale Of the
OIL from this unpatented acreage has
been impounded by the government,
and these impounded funds amount
TO more than $4,000, 900, and are be
ing added to. gradually, as the OIL
from the unpatented acreage is sold.
Quite apart from this impounded
money, the company IL deriving an
income from the gas developed on
these unpatented lands. This gas is
being purchased by the Midway Gas
company.
The realization both hare and In
Washington Of the fact that conces-
sions must be. made by the govern.
ment In order to secure q large pro,
duetion OF crude OF IN this state.
would seem to be the proximate
reason for the advance OF this stock;
although the recent decision Of
Judge Bean. annnnciating legal prir.
ciples applicable TO the case Of the
Honolulu Oh company, would appear
10 be q contributing factor
II goes without saying that. the
patenting Of the Honolulu OIL com.
pany's 2,7oO acres. with the conse-
qnent release Of the impounded funds
amounting to more than 100000,
would inevitably result not only In
very much higher dividend rate on
this stock than Is now being paid,
but also presumably in the declara.
ton Of q very substantial extra diyi-
dend. The Honolulu OIL company
has no bonded indebtedness what,
