COMM ERClAL
AND SUGAR COMPANY

Leading all the sugar plantations OF
the Islands in its output is the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany at Puunene and this year it has
produced the fourth largest crop in
it's history. The preliminary figures
were $4,000 tons, it was a little later
than usual in getting started by rea-
son of late arrival of materials and
new equipment and water shortage
but it passed its estimate within a
shade of ten percent and its figures
for the year are, 57,120 tons.
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company or Puunene as it is so COM
monty called, was the plantation for
which the late H. p. Baldwin did per-
haps more than any other, much as
he did for his Paia plantation. The
two went forward together after he
acquired what is now Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Company property.
Race With ~spreckels
It was H. p. Baldwin who conceived
the idea of carrying water from the
distant Nahiku district, and it was he
who succeeded in bringing the first
ditch water for over twenty miles "a
the Paia district, in what in its later
phase developed into a race with
Claus Spreckels and his associates.
Spreckels, always a favorite witt
King Kalakaua, had secured a license
provided that Baldwin, with an earlier
license, did not get his ditch built by
a certain time. 1t seemed impossible
that this could be iOne, but Mr.. Bald
win, although handicapped by the loss
of an arm and with no means but th'
most crude for transporting supplies
won the ace. 1t is related of hin
that an inverted siphon had to be in
serted in Maliko Gulch for the pur
pose of which his native assistants
feared to make the ascension. TC
give them courage, Mr.. Baldwin, IL
spite of his one arm, first made thu
ascension of the rope and hat the Ha
waiian workmen then followed.
This water brought from Nahiku
was used for what was originally the
old Paia plantation, and in h mil
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-10-22

has secured additional acreage which
before many years will be producing
largely and put the concern at Lahaina
up with the very largest producers.
It's preliminary estimate for 1920 was
2S, 800 and it's outturn was 29,264.
Like other Maui plantations it has
been handicapped for the past several
years by adverse weather conditions.
The company has been true to it's
name and has pioneered in electrified
ton of it's plant and may claim to be
leader in the Islands in that respect.
Pumping Plant Excells
Che plantation now has three hydro
plants with an $50 kilowat output and
a steam plant with a $50 kilowat out
put. Laer two more hydro plants will
be installed. A new pump has been
put in at the Kaanapali station to re-
place n abandoned in 1900 because
Of the salt content of the water. This
pump provides 100000 gallons of
water additional every "a hours, with
nc further trouble from the salt.
Pioneer Mill Company also has a
1000, 900 gallon electric pump at the
Lahaina station built in 1918, hat was
erected there to replace the old steam
pump. The total pumping capacity Of
the Pioneer plantation now averages
$4,000, 900 gallons daily.
Under an agreement with the Bald
win Estate, the plantation now gets
water from the Honokohau ditch
which permitted the development of
a new pumping plant at Kahana two
miles west CT Kaanapali, and to the
aid given by this ditch water is at
tributed the elimination of the salt
content formerly in the water from
the K%aanapali pumping station.
Much New Work
During the present between grind
season a considerable amount of
work is going on in the mill the most
important of which are a new evapor-
ator and "16-40" centrifugals. A
reinforced concrete machine shop has
just been completed and a reinforced
concrete garage and repair shop is be-
ing put in. In addition to this the
machinery recently arrived for a new
hydro-electrical pump going in at
Waihikuli, the work Of putting it up
to start Immediately.
For some time past work on lining
Of bitches has been IN progress
and it is expected the Lahaina section
| will be brought well into shape by the
end of next year.
Numerous changes and improve
ments have been made in the various
camps of the company for its planta-
ton laborers and still others are plan
ned and in caring for the welfare of
its employees Pioneer Mill Comply is
in the forward ranks of Hawaii's plan
tations.

in which H. P. Baldwin had previous
ly lost his arm in the crusher.
In subsequent years Spreckels and
his associates attempted to purchase
the Baldwin properties in the Paia
district, and it is told in a memorium
book written by his son Arthur, an
attorney in Cleveland, Ohio, that $780,
900 was the sum it had been decided
to accept. The deal failed to go
through and in time Baldwin himself
acquired the ~Spreckels' plantation,
nov known as the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Sugar Company, thus combin-
ing the Baldwin plantations, but as
separate properties, located between
Waikiki and Makawao.
Welfare Work Pioneer
He also initiated welfare work for
the employees, club house, hospitals
and schools and other beneficial insti-
buttons. On his death Frank F. Bald
win succeeded to it's management and
he has kept Puunene at the front in
production, progress, equipment, re-
suits and in kindly interest for the
good of it's employees, skilled and I'M
skilled.
In a recent issue of Maui News
what is going IN in the mill between
grinds, including the installation of a
new q%uadruple evaporation, was told,
as also additions to the pumping
plant that are contemplated, the new
automobile repair and machine shop,
and other details. Its mill is now the
equivalent of a Is roller.
A feature not mentioned heretofore
is the bag making machinery which is
being installed. Heretofore the COM
pany has purchased its containers but
is now making it's own.
In addition to the up-to-date equip
ment of the hospital the most modern
of X-ray equipment has been secured
and a latest model of operating table
has been ordered.

100000 MEMBERS
OF HEBREW TRADES
ARE WITHOUT JOBS
This Number Has Been Thrown Out
of Work During The Last Three
Weeks.

New York, Nov. 11-Nearly 150,-
600 members of the United Hebrew
Trades in New York state have been
thrown out of work in the last three
weeks of STEADY business recession"
Morris Feinstone, associated secre-
tary of the organization announced
here today. Of these 10000 are tail
ors. and cloth and dress goods max
ers, mostly in Greater New York.
The figures include about rs per
cent of the tailor and cloth and dress
goods of the Union, Mr.. Feinstone
said, adding that the United Hebrew
trades includes more than 100000
men and women throughout the
state.
"Emploers say business is slack"
Mr.. Feinstone said. "Some of them
have closed their factories, later re-
questing the employees to return to
their old jobs at lower wage scale,
asserting that they can accept some
cheap orders if labor costs less"
Every trade is affected by the slump
in business, Mr.. Feinstone said, add
that "none of our people are going to
accept lower wages until the cost OF
living has gone down. so that they
can do so "without lowering their
standard of living"

Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
THE TRUTH ABOUT ENVY.

I like to see the flowers grow,
To see the pansies in row,
I think a well-kept gardens fine, I
And wish that such a one were mine,
But one can't have a stock Of flowers
Unless he digs and digs for hours.
My ground Is always bleak and bare,
The roses do not flourish there,
And where I once sowed poppy seeds
Is now a tangled mass Of weeds.
I'm fond Of flowers, but I admit
For digging I don't care bit.
I envy men whose yards are gay,
But never work as hard as they;
I also envy men who own
More wealth than have ever known.
I'm like lot Of men who yearn
For joys that they refuse to earn.
You cannot have the joys Of work
And take the comfort of a shirk,
I find the man envy most
Is he, who's longest at his post.
I could have gold and roses, too,
If would work, like those who do!

COTTON SITUATION
DISCUSSED IN FULL
OF International Com
mittee Held In Manchester,
England.

Manchester, Eng, Nov. 11.-At a
conference today of the internation-
al cotton committee representatives
of England, France, Belgium, Italy,
Holland, Sweden, Japan and Czecho-
Slovakia submitted reports of con-
ditions of the trade in their re-
spective counties showing that the
depression is world wide and "short
time" is being extensively adopted.
Final arrangements were made to
send a delegation to the cotton
growing districts of Brazil in re-
sponse to an invitation from the
Brazilian government. The delega-
ton will start next March and the
investigation is expected to occupy
five months.
