HAIKU PINEAPPLE
CONTROL GOES1O
MAUI INTERESTS
Negotiations Practically Com
pIeted To Transfer To Valley
Isle People, Says Arthur Rice
Harold Rice, D. c. Lindsay, An,
tone Tavares and Others Are
e Purchasers of Majority Stock

Negotiations are practically rom
Pl"trd for the transfer Of the Ha
"arian Pineapple Company control
buildings IN the Haiku Fruit and
Packing Company to Maui interests for
Arthur II. Rice, of the James Morgan
Company. which has handled the details
Of the big sale.
HaroId Rice, Maui rancher and CAPT
tahSt; u. c. Lindsay, cashier of the
knhuIui National Bank, and Antoine
TaNnrrs, manager Of the Maui Pineap
Vie Company acting for themselves and
'ther Maui investors, are the acknowl-
''grd purchasers of the Hawaiian Pine
arpI" Company's controlling stock in
the Maui pine packing company.
The Hawaiian Pineapple Company
several years ago acquired the control
of tn" Maui company by the purchase
Of slightly more than half the preferred
stock Of $l50,000 and n majority Of the
common stock of 100000.
The minority stock of the Haiku
Packing Company is widely held on
Maui. and this sale comes as q result of
III" dcsIr" of the Maui people t0 regain
oW n"rship of n company which was
originally controlled by the Maui resi-
dents
"Thr drul for the sale of the Hawa-
iinn Pineapple Company majority
holdings in the Haiku Fruit and Pack
ing Company is practically com
plctcI. said Arthur Rice last night,
when he was questioned about the ru-
mored sale. "The deal is virtually
closed" he added for further confirm
alton.
He advanced the information that
his brother, Harold Rice, Lindsay and
Tavarrs were not only acting for them
selves but for other interests.
However, he did not verify "street -
talk that the Maui Agricultural Com
lRmy was heavily interested in the pur-
chase of the big block of preferred and
common stock in the Haiku company.
He qualified reference to this rumor
with tn" expression:
"You know that Haiku stock is
widely scattered on Maui" leaving it
to inference that all the Maui stock
holders were interested in the deal.
Sale of the majority Of the stock to
the Maui interests by the Hawaiian
Pineapple Company puts an end to a
recent report that the Armour Packing
Company would purchase the control of
the Haiku Fruit and Packing Company
with the view of entering the pineapple
industry here as rivals Of Libby, Nc
Neil 4 Libby.
The Haiku Fruit and Packing Com
pany, Ltd, was incorporated October
q, 1903, with a capitalization of $780,.
600, since when W. A. Baldwin has
been the president and manager. The
capital was increased from 100000 to
$350O0O by the issuance of $4,000
worth of preferred stock at 500 per
share on April 30, 1914. Its assets are
given in the last manual of Hawaiian
Securities as 1929, 1898.
This same authority gives the land
owned by the company as $50 acres and
the leased land az $50 acres. The pack
for 1916 was l45, 383 cases aud for 1917
about e25,000 eases.

FOX FARMER IS
ON BRIEF Visit

Fred Kiel, who has a fox farm
on the Tanana river at its conflu-
ence with the Totatlanika, arrived in
town last night on a brief business
visit and to get stock of sup
plies.
The foxes on the Kiel farm are
kept on a fish diet which, he says,
seems to agree with them better
than a meat diet, and they are re-
ported to be doing well.
Some time ago a few red and one
silver fox escaped from the farm,
but they came back again, and al
though they evaded capture, they
hung around the place. Kiel laid
traps for them and succeeded in
getting the silver fox, whose pelt
he brought to town. The pelt, which
is valued at 5000, is now at the
N C. store.
Mr.. Kiel left Tor his ranch this
morning.

ARGENTINE HAS
PLAN TO BOOST
NATIONS TRADE

BUENOS AIRES.-Argentina has
taken the lead in an effort to per-
suade the South American republics
to tear down their tariff walls and
open themselves to free trade
among themselves, arguing that such
action would make them CONNER
cially independent of other coun-
tries in Europe and North America.
This step has been taken in spite
of the fact that until now the Ar
gentin's principal source of revenue
has been its custom houses.
To show it's sincerity, the Ar
gentine government has introduced
a bill in Congress providing for
the opening of diplomatic negotia-
tons with all the neighboring coun-
tries for the adoption of treaties
providing for the free exchange of
the products of each country con-
cerned.
The desire of Argentina is to
remove the fiscal barriers which in
the past have estranged the nations
of South America and restricted
commerce between them, making
them dependent on overseas ma
tions.
A years trial of free trade with
Peru led Argentina to seek similar
arrangements with the other re-
publics. The Peruvian legation in
Buenos Aires and the Argentine
consulate in Lima have acted as
commercial agents for their re-
spective countries with the result
that today there is regular trade
of wheat, flour, and cereals to Peru
in exchange for cotton. rice and
sugar from Peru.
It is expected that Chile will be
the next republic to ratify a free
trade treaty.
