DOES
WORK
Hail Of Bonds Paid Off and Other
Halt Refunded At Lower
Rate Of Interest

Excellent financial judgement shown
almost a year ago is now saving the
stockholders of the Pacific Sugar 1IiIl
Company $4,000 a year. Action by
the directors which brought this about
was recently approved in meeting
of the stockholders. What the directors
were then able to do they could not
do now with money tighter and inter-
est rates higher. .=
One year ago Pacific Sugar Mill had
"a bonded indebtedness of 100000,
bearing six percent interest. Half Of
that indebtedness has been paid of
and all Of the bonds have been taken
up, in place there being outstanding a
quarter of a million dollars in certif-
Gates of indebtedness bearing interest
at five percent. ..,..
The refunding of the debt Of the
Pacific Sugar Mill Company was done
in this way, it is learned. The COM
pany received for the old mill which
It sold and which was taken to Japan,
$l25, 900. To this there was added
sec, 900 taken from the sinking fund
and $4,000 in cash from the earnings
of the company, Those three sums
amounted to $25O,oO0 and with this
half of the old bonded debt, was re-
tired. To retire the rest of the bonds
there was borrowed from the Bishop
Trust Company $25o,0o0, through that
company floating fourteen notes which
bear five percent interest, On the
$3.50, 900 bonds paid of there is now
being saved 5000 year while on the
$250,000 outstanding in notes there is
being saved one percent OF $500. 1t
would hardly be possible at this time
20 negotiate loan at that rate of in
terest owing to the changed conditions
brought about by the war.

PRUpOsEDORAS1CGONTROl Of SUGAR
DOES NOT WORRY ISLAND PLANTATIONS

d4rtakes but II This is tried IL win GER
sainly be q itremehdnasl iprobiann.
Hoover seems to be having his troubles
now and Il would look az If this plan
might add TO them although he may
have some plan by which the absolute
control he advocates would eliminate
some Of the present diffieulties.u
utilize Old Departments
II is suggested that perhaps Hoov-
er's plan is to utilize the distributing
departments Of the re6ners with gov
eminent officials in supervision. In
this way check might readily be kept
on where all sugar sold would go.
y Another suggestion Is that Hoover de-
Sires that the retailer should buy sugar
in only such small quantities as he is
able to pay for in cash and in that
way have all dealers under constant
supervision and direct control.
Industry Not Worried f..
So far as the industry in the Islands
Is concerned sugar agencies consider
that IL Is immaterial whether or not
the raw sugar be bought by the sugar
commission and sold to the refiner, de-
livered TO the refners for refining at a
certain price to the government and
then distributed by the government, or
sold by the growers to the reAners d.
rect at a certain price made by the
sugar commission. d
One. thing is evident from the de-
spatches, from mainland newspaper
articles and from letters recently re-
ceived by local houses from the main
land. The sugar brokers see their
probable elimination at hand and are
lined up to large extent against the
food administration, the sugar com
missions and the regulation Of the in
dustry as so far undertaken and some
Of the refners are equally antagonis-
tic, as for example Claus Spreckels.
To see the opportunity for profteer-
ing slipping away, to see their ordinary
business taken from them is not a
pleasant thing for them to contemplate
and antagonism to Hoover aud his
plans and those of Rolph and his fell
low commissioners are not satisfactory

DIVIDENDS CUT BY,
TN0PLANFAT|ONS

Reductions in dividends by two island
plantation companies were recently an.
nounced from the san Francisco Offices
of the companies in a letter received
here. The action is brought about by
Increased costs and increased war taxes.
II has been expected that such action
would come from a number of planta.
tions and that the reductions in divi,
dends in other instances will come from
eutting on extra dividend declarations,
The plantations TINT hive announced
reductions are Paauhau and Hutehin,
son md the explanatory letter follows:
''The yeHr OF 1917 has been period
Of extreme uncertainty and Teadjust,
ment in the business world, and in no
line OF endsavor has the departure
from nofmal standards been more mark
ed than In the sugar industry.
Starring with a price comparatively
low, the tendency was, except for q
period of recession in the middle of
the year, uniformly upward, as it he
came increasingly evident TINT the
current Cuban crop was not -equal to
the demands made upon it.
'f0n, October q, 1911, the food ad-
niinistrRtor interviewed, and the recent
Chaotic condition in sugar resulted,
The food administration still exercises
control over the industry and win dur.
ing the;duration of the war. The price
which this company will receive for its
1918 crop will be dependent upon the
price to be fixed by the food admin
iistrator.
"In addition to the uncertainty of
price, you have been informed through
the public press that the Hawaiian Isl.
ands experienced during 1917 a drought
of considerable severity, affecting some
districts to a greater degree than 9th
ers.. The effect of this dry spell can.
not be properly determined until har-
rvesting has commenced and the sugar
content of the cane established beyond
question. .v.
''In addition to the conditions men.
toned above, your company, in com.
mon with all other Hawaiian planta.
tions, finds itself confronted with an
increased production cost due to nd.
Vaneed prices in all lines Of material
as well as a substantial increase in

come and excess profits taxes will also

ditions cited, your directors, believing
that a policy of conservatism should
dominate the conduct of this com
pany 3 affairs at this time, have adopt.

LAKE OF KILAUEA IS
once MORE rising
Visitors Warned Concerning Dan.
gerouS Condition OF Walls

Following the slight fan at the sol
stice, the lava lake at Kilauea has re-
covered and has now entered upon an
extremely active period Of rising. The
various erags and islands have again
risen well above the rim of the pit and
are in plain view from the Hotel on the
edge Of the outer crater.
The director of the observatory, DR..
T. A. Jaggar, once more issues a warn
ing to visitors concerning the danger
Gus condition Of certain portions of the
upper walls Of Halemaumau pit. The
area between the foot-trail from the
automobile terminal and the rim of the
pit, marked with danger signs, should
be avoided altogether, although there
is reasonable. safety between the short
trail 70 the edge and the south station
marked by a triangular erection of
poles, Visitors who make the circuit
Of the upper walls are particularly
urged - observe every caution when
trayersing the southwest sector, which
is deeply erevassed and extremely I'M
safe, The prevailing windis from the
northwest, and the portion of the rim
over which the smoke and fumes are
generally drifting may therefore be
taken as marking the unsafe area. Wis
itOrs should keep at least fifty yards
back from the rim when going through
this sector.

find that there are three principal
causes Of loss. First, the existence.o1
forward reserve bunker partitioned
off from the cargo hold by non-wa'

loss is the failure to close the water'

third danger lies in the main drain
pipes, leading from the bilge pumps to
the different compartments, and pass

which are generally fractured in tor

be non-return valves on the end OF
these pipes. The committee recom-
