" HEADS WILL
MEET HERE FOR
CONF ABB ON CAMP

For the purpose of deciding upon
date for the interstate Y. M. c. A.
boys camp and to determine what i'm
provements may be made this year
on the site in Pinery canyon, con-
ference of Y. M. c. A. officials repre-
senting the associations of Tucson,
Douglas and Bisbee is being arranged
for the coming week end, the gather
ing to be held in Douglas.
Word has come to the local associa
tion that Fred D. Pierce, interstate
secretary, has been in Phoenix the
past week in an attempt to secure
financial support with which to con-
struct a swimming pool and cottages
on the location where the boys of
the above named cities camped last
year.
Speaking of this camp, the Phoenix
Republican says: 'The Y. M. G. A.
has a 10-acre site in the Chiricahua
mountains located on the government
road about 25 miles from Wilcox,
and it is the plan of Pierce to de-
velop this spot, providing it with a
lodge, cabins, swimming pool and.
Fairgrounds for the use of the boys
throughout the southwest. He de-
clares that the land is ideally located
in a heavily timbered area at an
altitude of 5000 feet, within five miles
of the famous Pinnacles, in mountains
literally infested with game
When completed, it. is the plan of
those interested to maintain a con-
tinuous camp throughout most of the
summer at this place to which the
associations of Ell Paso, Tucson, Bis
bee, Morenci, Clifton and Douglas
would go for their outings and con-
ferences. The date of this years
camp for Douglas will be announced
soon.

The General Motors corporation,
third factor in the rumored war for

regarding plans. Indications, however,
are that the corporation will stand
with it's present line of cars. General
Motors now has a total of seven pas
senger machines on the market and a
host of trucks and accessories. Its
light car the Chevrolet, at present is
the leading seller in its field, which
previously was dominated by Ford.
Ford is reported to have been silently
retrenching for the past year and
half and to have piled up an enormous
cash reserve. No production figures
have been issued during that time, and
this fact has led to the report that the
plants were being altered for the in
stallation of a new line of machinery
for the production of new types of
cars. The plants have been operating
on a part-time basis during this re-
ported alteration.

Seattle Sponsors First Northwest
Commercial Tour to Hawaii

CEATTLE'S first commercial inva-
y sion of the Hawaiian Islands will
begin in January, big delegation al
ready having been registered to sail
on the steamship Lurline, leaving
Seattle on January Is.
Governor Harrington of the Hawai-
ian Islands, in a communication just
sent to the Chamber of Commerce, de-
clared that the Seattle party would be
shown every courtesy and hospitality
during it's commercial tour of the mid
Pacific Islands.
There is an unlimited field for
trade expansion between Seattle and
the Hawaiian Islands," Governor Far
rington advised the Seattle Chamber.
II believe that Seattle's trade excur-
sion to the islands will aid materially
in bringing about this result"
Under the direction of the Pacific
Northwest Products Committee of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, it is
planned to occupy all accommodations
on the Matson Line steamer Lurline
for the excursion-sixty in all. A large
number of business men already have
signed up for the trip.
Leaving Seattle on January Is, the
excursionists will arrive at Honolulu
on January %, with side trip to Hilo
two days later. The return will be
made via San Francisco, arriving in
Seattle on February IL, a total of
twenty-seven days for the entire trip.
The total cost is less than $500.
Honolulu, where the Pacific North
west party will establish headquar-
tiers, is the principal city and capital
of the islands, located 2,409 miles
from Seattle. 1t has population of
over $4,000. Hilo, on the Island of

Hawaii, is the second city and a
place of commercial Importance. 1t
is the principal port of the largest
island of the group, and has a popu-
lation of about 10000. Waikiki, on
the Island of Maui is the county seat,
Kahului being the port of entry for
shipping with harbor protected by
a breakwater. Across the island from
Kahului is the beautiful old town of
Lahaina, a rendezvous for deep-sea
game fishermen. Lihu and Waimea,
on the Island of Kauai, are the largest
towns on the northern island.
Agriculture on the Hawaiian Islands
will be of particular interest to the
Northwest delegation. Among the
important agricultural products of the
islands, aside from sugar and pine
apples-the principal crops-may be
mentioned bananas, rice, sisal hemp,
tobacco and coffee. Onions, potatoes
and other vegetables and various
fruits are receiving much attention at
present with good prospects of be-
coming generally good crops.
The first sugar plantation was
started on the Island of Kauai in 1885,
under concession signed by the king
to Ladd e Co., an American company,
by which certain lands were leased
for the purpose of agricultural de-
velopment. The EVA plantation, near
Honolulu, one of the largest, was origi-
nally worthless area of land; but
by means of artesian wells and enorm-
Gus pumps the water is pumped
through pipes to an elevation Of sew
eral hundred feet to irrigate the cane
This has been considered one of the
finest plantations on the islands. In
1925 the sugar production amounted
to 776,O72 tons. Shipments of mer-
chandise from Hawaii to the United
States for the year ending June 80,
1925, amounted to $104,095,273, of
which $71 ,46S,115 were for sugar
(Stateman's Year Book. The United
States imports approximately one-ffth
of it's sugar from insular possessions.
Pineapples were introduced in the
islands by some of the early naviga-
tors. (Pineapples are native of Mexico
where they grew wild.) They also
grow wild on the islands, but the later
introduction of superior quality
have developed quite an export of this
fruit. There are some twenty-five
varieties, known by different names in
the various localities from which they
are obtained. The pineapple season
is from the middle of May to the mid
die of August, although some varieties
bear fruit throughout the year. A
single fruit sometimes weighs as
much as seventeen pounds, though a
fair average is from six to ten pounds

constructive cooperation, distributive
cooperation, productive cooperation
and credit cooperation.
Constructive cooperation: Pos
sessing the power of constructing
without tending toward positive con-
illusions until investigations of a CO.
7erative re have been carried on
in spirit of giving as we'll as receiv-
ing, that the results obtained may be
of benefit to ALL In the broad eco
nomic sense, it is the creed that life
may be best ordered by mutual help,
and not carried on in a selfish man
ner.
Distributive cooperation: In a
business sense consumers co-opera-
ton doing away with the middleman
and his profits, with the operation of
stores for mutual benefit and returns
in the form of dividends. Tending
towards the distribution of knowledge
and evidences of operations both
through individuals and collectively
by corporations, one to the other.
Productive cooperation: Not in the
sense of doing away with employers
and having labor produce its own CAPT.
tai, but in the spirit of exchanging
ideas that each may profit by the
products of others experiences.
Credit Cooperation: Not literally
the borrowing and loaning of money,
but in sense the same as the ex-
change of views carries a value both
from the efforts of the giver, and the
knowledge obtained by the ones re-
ceiving, and in so doing vast amount
of credit is piled up for the future
benefit of all.
The four classes enumerated may
at first glance seem rather indirectly
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-01-07

Some criticism has been advanced
against cooperation due to it's bad
erect on competition, such is not the
case as clean competition has nothing
to fear from any source and certainly
not from an exchange of ideas even
though they reach so far as to dis
close certain avenues of trade.
Service to the users of facility
satisfactory to their needs is the out
standing goal to be reached and the
making of such loses nothing in the
practice of cooperation honestly ap-
Piled. Surely where business in
creases steadily from year to year I'M
der willingness for and practical
application of cooperation, there can
be no fear of adverse results, and the
Pacific Coast ports are enjoying Just
such position in world trade.
There may be instances, although
undoubtedly few, where business has
been lost through cooperation, but the
gain is so manifest and the balance
SO decidedly in it's favor that COM
PeA1ooLA VI AOoo d5dluSC+i gam Is uGS-
ligible, and. anyone contemplating a
practical operation of mutual activi-.
ties certainly need not be afraid of
any adverse results, but look forward
to ever increasing good therefrom.
Cooperation, as time goes on, is the
embodiment of confidence and the
personal contact due to- its applica-
ton is well worth while acquiring,
eventually building up tlkde and new
associations by the god spirit i'm
parted.
The Pacific Coast poi $ and espe-
cially those located in Il Q North Pa

more close proximity We certainly
prospered and enjoye, confidences
with one another due to lie fine spirit
of cooperation. 1t is h. led that the
practice may become ge eral among
all the ports of the county and am
sure that the effect will b. far reach
ing in it's good results.

ties. These will include learning
the names and natures of different
trees and all. pertaining to their
planting, preservation and growth;
seed collecting; marking of trees,
tree mapping, the eradication of in
sects damaging to tree life and the
cooperation in all efforts made
toward forest fire prevention.
State and local foresters and all
organizations interested in conserva-
ton of national resources are ex-
pected to cooperate in this program
of the Camp Fire Girls. The ma
tional committee sponsoring the

No more forest famines in the
communities where Camp Fire Girls
hold forth. This national organiza-
ton of girls, with 100000 members,
has proclaimed 1927, Tree Year.
Every group all over the country is
to make itself responsible for the
planting of a certain number OF
trees, either "Camp Fire Forest,
on property belonging or loaned to
the organization, or on avenues,
parks or highways belonging to the
municipality. Not only will the
girls plant the trees, but they will
make themselves responsible for
their upkeep. ;.
"The impetus for this program, ,
says Mr.. Lester F. Scott, National
Executive of Camp Fire, "came from
various groups which had locally
undertaken the planting of Camp
Fire forests. In Grand Rapids
Camp Fire girls planted 10000 trees
last spring on bleak stretch of
land, and similar project was car
ried out in Cleveland. While every
group cannot hope to plant so large
a forest as this, there is no local
organization which will not make
an appreciate contribution to the
Identification of the community"
In addition to the actual tree
planting, there is a year round
program of educational tree activl-

In 1925 the pineapple pack amounted

canned pineapple has come to be
justly celebrated all over the world.
Coffee has been grown in Hawaii
for upward of halfa century. While
the industry has made no remarkable
growth, it has steadily developed, and
at the present time seems to be quite
profitable. The district of Kona, on
the Island of Hawaii, is especially
noted for it's high-grade coffee.
Bananas and rice culture are large

connected with port activities, but
close analysis will, I believe, allow
them to be applied in more or less
direct manner for the closer co-opera-
ton of port matters, and bringing to-
gether individuals who might other
wise drift away from one another.
The first real cooperation among
the Pacific Coast ports was evidenced
in the engineering and construction
departments where very free eX-
change of opinions, results of expert
ments and actual working out of plans
were at all times given. This did not
detract from individual effort, nor
did it tend to create facilities of the
same type or style of construction, but
was of material benefit in the more
nlans in matters of dispatch and eco
nomic operations. Very close CO.
operation in the matter of mechanical
handling equipment has at all times
received special attention, particular
ly among the North Pacific ports, and
has resulted in creating extreme eff
ficiency among the dock workers rath-
er than causing any discussions by
reason of decrease in forces, all of
which has manifested decided low
ering of handling costs, a benefit not
only to shippers and consignees, but
to all classes of water carriers.
After the Pacific Coast ports began
to turn from the constructive to the
operative stage, the Pacific Coast AS
ISOLATION of Port Authorities was or
ganized and affiliated with the Ameri-
can Association. The membership of
this association includes all Pacific
Coast ports whether large or small
and has at all of it's sessions carried
on very frank and open discussions.
True, at times these meetings have
developed extreme differences of
opinion and the discussions have
waxed warm, but the close personal
contact from year to year and the
fine spirit of cooperation in all it's
phases and classes has carried on, so
that great good has resulted, no one
carrying away from these meetings
anything but knowledge of value and
feeling Of close friendship for one
another, with a desire to be of service
whenever called upon.
The question of uniform rates and
practices is one that has had great
deal of attention both through COM
mittees, at conventions and between
individual ports, and due to the CO.
operation on the Pacific Coast, has ac-
complished much in this important
phase of port operation, especially as
the North Pacific ports where both
rates and practices are as nearly uni
form as it is possible to obtain, con-
sidering purely local conditions that
have bearing on rates applicable to
commodities produced in a given To-
cality only and charges necessary for
the proper moving of same. Practices
are more nearly uniform throughout
the coast as result of complete I'M
derstandings between ports of bene-
fits obtained by so arranging and this
has come about only. by far reach
ing application of cooperation prop
erly accepted.
