HONOLULU, Jan. Il (by Associ- ated Press) There are prospects for an enormous sugar crop in Hawaii in 1921 with comparatively low prices prevailing, according to a review pre- pared by the Hawaiian Trust Com pany, which says Hawaiian planters will receive an average price of about six cents for this years crop. On the other hand, there are indications for an increased consumption of sugar. The Hawaiian plantations are represented as being on sound financial basis despite the present depression, but some of them will

show little if any profit this season.
 The report of the Hawaiian Trust company says the Crockett refin- cry in the state of California, sp- proximately 90 per cent of the stock of which is owned in Hawaii. suffered a loss of several million dollars last season owing to inability to dispose of sugar at price in keeping with the figure at which purchases were made. Consequently, while many Hawaiian planters seemingly made large profits in 1920. their losses tn- cident to the situation of the Crockett refinery have reduced incomes c0n- siderably. ',

JUST CAME OUT TO
 ENLIST FOR THE WAR

B. D. Seaman of the Joe Bernard expedition of 1916 recently arrived in Nome after series of exciting adventures at Coronation Gulf about a thousand miles East of Demarca- tion Point on the Arctic Coast of Canada.
 In October of 1918, just before the war ended, Seaman received his first knowledge of the United States entry into the great conflict. He resigned immediately from the Royal Northwest Mounted Police force on which he was serving and in small schooner set out to reach the outside and join the United States army. He reached Nome this week after travel ing 3 years amid untold perils and hardships. The wrecking of the tiny schooner was but one of the fearful episodes encountered and was also a twenty-seven day hike along the coast living on wild game and sort of wild tirnip called "Ma-hoo
 Speaking of the Coronation Bay section, Seaman said. "It Is near the greatest virgin copper hills in the world. Nuggets of pure native cop- per have been found weighing up to 150 pounds. The Eskimo there still use the bow and arrow and all their knives, spears and arrow heads are of pounded copper. They keep no reindeer but are plentifully supplied with caribou of which there are thouaands .'' %
 Ptarmigan and waterfowl are not plentiful in that section but there are millions of tailless squirrels sim liar in habits to the ground squirrel Of this section. White Wolves, White Foxes and White flares are very common. In one section Sea- man spoke of the white wolves fosming a. watchful. waiting circle around the camp fire and snapping and fighting furiously over scraps of meat thrown among them.

ing is prohibited by the Canadian government. Caribou. though form never failing source of supply and
 supplemented by the odoriferous sea oil makes for a happy, greasy and
 prosperous community of Eskimo. A curious custom among the na- tives, said Seaman, is that in the
 winter the favorite indoor pastime seems to be the swapping of wives. { The wives seem to be perfectly agree
 able and when the men are lax in their trading they themselves some times take hand and trade off their husbands. Without ceremony they
 accomplish what a white man spends six months and thousand dollars doing.
 Seaman modestly declined to ac- count for any of his exciting adven- lures but cited that of missionary on the trial: It seems that after pitching his tent the good man be-
 came bothered by great white dog that repeatedly thrust it's head
 through the flap of the tent and snuffed lOngingly of his food. The missionary .rapped the animal sharp ly on the nose whereupon 1t with drew. growing and bowling in anger. Something in the tone of the
