Those Americans who recall that the
first airplanes to be used in a military
campaign was used on the Mexican Dor
der by Americans troops in 1911 are
amazed to learn that the allied powers
are turning out about 4,WD airplaues
a month, and that in many quarters this
is considered the most important branch
OF the army. But such is the case, and
such has been this country's part in de-
veloping the airplane in its early stagcs,
that the allied powers expect great things

JAPAN ACCEPTS
BAN ON STEEL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Just as
soon as the export council can come
to an understanding with the Japan
csc government as to The meaning oi
the term war uses. as applied to
shipping, the quantity Of American
structural steel, which may be ex
ported to Japan for the purpose OF
building ships will be fixed.
The Japanese government, it may
be authoritatively stated, has a thor
ough understanding of the purposes
of the export council in regulating
the distribution of American steel
among the allied and neutral coun-
tries. 1t has been informed that tine
demands Of American shipbuilders are
so great that absolutely no steel can
be spared for export unless the ton
mage to be constructed therefrom goes
to swell the total volume of shipping
available for war purposes"
Recognizing the legality of this po-
sition on the part of the United
States, the Japanese government for
its part is quite willing that large
portion of its mercantile shipping shall
be utilized by the United States or
the entente allies to meet the neces-
sity created by the German submarine
warfare.

HILO, Aug. 13.-That Hilo is about
to be placed on the map as an i'm
portant Wells Fargo depot, is indicat
ed in the fact that for some time an
artist has been under special orders
to take a lot of local photographs
which are to appear in a publication
of the company's world offices.
The views taken include transpor'
tation facilities of every nature such
as unloading mail, delivering PACK
ages, the office building and force,
and in fact about everything in con-
nection with the local branch has
been included in the artists work.
FROM a mere beginning here a num-

1t is only just to add that during
the absence Of Mr.. Zimmerman from

proved himself equally as efficient in

OPIUM DUG UP
BENEATH HOUSE

Opium valued at about 5000 was dug
up from beneath a house in a lane
off Beretania street this morning by
Customs Inspector Gilbert McNicoll.
A quantity of yen shee was found in
the house. The case has been re-
ferred to United States officials who
are investigating. A Chinese woman
was the only occupant of the house
when the haul was made.
Inspector McNicoll, having received
information that opium was concealed
in the house, visited the place this
morning and, after a thorough search,
recovered only a quantity of yen shee
of little value. He was about to leave
the place when he recalled the Gus
tom of some drug traffickers to bury
their dope" Taking a shovel he
scraped around under the house and
finally unearthed a wooden box which
contained an earthenware bowl filled

Especial s:ar Bulletin Corrs.pondeuc

Especial S:ar Bulletin CnrrSsTondence)
HlLO, August l3-That this city Is
TO come into its own as TO a point Oh
standardized city dignity and modern,
up-to-the-second public Improvements,
is manifested in the willingness OF
the city to cooperate with the bust
ness men III giving the community
an efficient water system. The eX-
penditure OF $4,000 at the present time
is a 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 CT 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 ineffiCiencv 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 a constant sup
NV 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
go over the ground for the purpose Of
putting US straight and settling def
initely, the future water supply OF our
thriving little city. Two votes were
recorded against the resolution call
ing for the appropriation Of the $4,000
considered necessary to defray the

on the Island of Hawaii would ship
their produce to Honolulu if special
rates we're allowed by the railroad and

report which has been received by the
territorial food commission from it's
agent on the Big Island.
The Hawaii Consolidated railroad

rates for growers wishing to get their

MANILA, P. l., July 2S.-While 1917

two years il the Philippine islands.
The wealth OF the islands is increas
ing rapidly. In Manila alone, the as
sessed value of taxable prof. erty TO
day, is over l03,0eU 900 pesos, which
is more than 3,O00,00O pesos above

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 fall in the sugar provinces,
lying In warehouses. 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 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 ton,
makes its shipment to the United
States a losing proposition How
ever, it has been thought that the
dispatch Of the Communicated Ger

the Philippine government would Of

pared to pocket a considerable loss by
a sale, probably to Japan, in order
to clear their warehouses to make
room for the new crop which will be-

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.
