London, June 5. It was thought

week back, and hotel keepers were in

clined Jto be alarmed at the prospect.

that a set back had come to the influx of American visitors and that the rush was pretty nearly over" for the

season.

Inquiring what might be the cause

of such, a thing. If it were the case.

was told by an American interested in

shipping that it was probably the uncertainty connected with , the tariff

which was keeping the people at home

for the present Then again, notwith'

standing the fact that immigration is

much brisker than it was at this period last year, a good deal of leeway

has yet to be made up, and the opti

mism of those who have been predict

ing that America will soon be seeing

boom times again, he gave, me to un

derstand; isn't justified by the present

state of the labor market. Boom of the Bermudas.

Another cause of the aparent slack

ening of passenger traffic to Europe,

he said, was very likely the boom of

the Bermudas as a health resort, bat

during the last week arrivals of Amer

ican tourists in Europe by the bigger,

more luxurious and swifter liners have been great, for these boats reached this side crowded, and I am told they

could have been filled about twice ov

er. On the other hand, older boats,

which at one time were favorites and

were looked upon as floating palaces,

aren't bringing over their quota. :

There is talk here about there being

too many boats crossing the Atlan

tic Whether that is the case or not, it is a sign that the owners cant ignore that, though the cream of the

traffic goes to new boats, a considerable part of the public is grumbling at the dearness of the rates by the older vessels. The feeling is that these

rates ought to be lower, and hope

expressed that the Atlantic confer

ence will take the matter into consideration. At the time the rates were fixed the fares by the slower yet still first class boats were considered too

high, but with plenty, of passengers to carry no test of the matter baa been

possible till now. ; It . the rate

question were revised there might be

an increase of traffic.

THIS PRODUCT THE

LIFE OF ISLANDERS awsMBBBsasa

In All the Islands of the Group There Are 200,000 Acres

Now Planted With Cane by I

Producers. ;

Hmolulu. Mav 24. One is not in

Honolulu long before the fact is driv

en home that here sugar is king. Tou

meet a new friend and start a conversation. Very shortly the talk is about

suamr and tbe particular plantation

that Is the new friend's favorite. Tou pick up the afternoon paper and on

the front page under glaring headlines is the announcement that sugar is "up five points." Tou go for. an automo

bile ride outside Honolulu. Very

shortly your Interest is aroused to a

keen pitch because, in the distance you Imagine you see some immense

corn fields. You voice your thought

to the chauffeur who rather scorn-

fulry replies. "Corn nothing, that Is

sugar cane."

Sugar,: commercially speaking. Is

the life of the islands. Without it

the wealth of the islands would not

be one tenth of the present valuation.

very few figures will make plain

the extent of the industry.

Aeres of Sugar Cane.

On all the islands there are about

300,000 acres . planted in sugar cane, about half of which is cropped each

year. In 1908 the total production of sugar amounted to 521,123 tons. For

this the Hawaiian planters received

the enormous sum of $39,816,082.00, gross, of course. From these figures one is easily led to believe there is

big money in sugar. There is but to

get at it requires a very large expen

diture of money over a series of years

without any return.

Sugar, as produced In the Hawaiian

Islands, must needs be obtained by

corporations having large resources.

The land for a plantation, aside from the first cost of purchase or lease.

must be cleared at considerable ex

pense. Then there Is the additional

expense of a complete irrigation sys

tem, consisting of ditches and expensive pumping stations. And that is no

mean item. The plantations on the

Island of Oahu, alone use annually two thirds more water than do the

citizens of Greater New York. To

cultivate the ground is also a big

item. On most plantations the plow

ing is done by hugh steam plows.

Then the cane is cowed and after eighteen months of weeding and irri

gating the crop of cane is ready for

the mill. Hundreds of laborers are turned, loose in the fields and by

means of heavy .knives they cut down

the cane. Other laborers then load

the cane onto the cars of the planta

tion railroad, by which means it is

conveyed to the mill. The mill is another big item of expense, generally representing an investment of over a half million dollars. The cane after

reaching the mill is first sent through

series of hugh, crushing rollers, that

extract the juice. This Juice then

passes through a series of different operations, all involving theuse of

special and expensive machinery, and

finally comes out as the brown sugar

of commerce. This is the product

that is marketed. The bulk of it is

sold in the United States to the big

sugar refineries.

The Labor Question.

Lamia:

It is gratifying to know, that the well and favorably known "Feopie"a

Store. have adopted a plan which Is not subject to any criticism, but Is

put forward by them simply for the purpose of securing the Increased' good will of the community. The plan shows this store to be very liberal indeed, as it means the sharing of a good part of its profits with It customers. .While, of course, this contest is primarily Intended to benefit the store, at the same time it is sure to greatly advance the interests of some individual or organization, and. therefore, we believe that familiarity with the entire matter will be appreciated by our readers. The People's Store have purchased an excellent, high grade Oote Piano, manufactured by the Edmond Cote Piano Manufacturing company, of Fall River. Mass. The piano is one which sells at from $33aOO to $400.00. This Piano Manufacturing company Is one of the old reliable eastern firms which has always produced trustworthy Instruments. - Its Cote is by no means what is known as a "stenciled piano, aa each lnstrament bears their name and carries their guarantee. The People's 8tore propose giving this piano away without any expense whatever to their customers. The plan of doing this is as follows: With each purchase of goods at their store, during this contest, they will give certificates equal In amount to tbe sale made. These certificates will be given continually to everybody buying goods at their store during this contest. There are absolutely no conditions regarding the persons who are sIV

gible to compete for the piano, no formal entry Is necessary, as the purchase

of goods at any time after the contest opens, entitles the purcnaser to Become a contestant for the piano. It will be understood, of course, that Mr. McLear, his family. Tate salespeople and their families will be prohibited from entering the contest, sad his clerks will not be permitted to rhow favoritism to any coal sets it t. This contest Is to be strictly "on the square. The certificates given with parchase are transferable from one party to another and If you do not wish to enter the contest yourself, you can transfer your certificates to any friend In which you may be Interested. There has been some talk among the members of certain lodges and Sunday schools of the city, of making concerted efforts among themselves and friends to secure the pianv for their rooms: If the boys will set aa they now say they will, there'll be something doing. But they will have to look out for the young ladies the personal friends of some of the popular young ladies have expressed a determination to secure the ptano for their favorite.

There will also be the rural districts to contend with, sad wa

pect some friendly rivalry between the city contestants sad thoss residing in the rural districts. There are some 'very popular young ladles living out&ide of tbe city who have a host of friends who will work hard to see their candidate win. While It la early to make any fair estimate of the final outcome, we would almost be willing to bet our last dollar that the city people will have to hustle to keep ahead of their rivals from the country. The question of who will ultimately receive the piano Is certainly aa interesting one, and as all persons In our community are eligible to participate in the contest, the Interest is sure to be quits universal. According to the conditions of this contest the piano will be awarded to the person, society, school or Sunday school, securing the greatest value la certificates by February 5, liO. This paper will give further account of this contest as It progresses, as we are sure that our citizens will take an acU ive interest in the contest, and that they will see to It that the piano Is secured by some person or society worthy of it. who will appreciate the gift.

marketed In the States as canned pineapple.

A Pineapple Boom. There has been a small boom In

pineapples with the result that production has Increased at a greater rate than consumption. The 1908 pine

apple crop was several times greater

than that of 1907. The result waa that

a large amount of pineapples remained on the hands of the canners and growers. To my mind this was the

best thing that could have happened for the further good of the industry In these islands. Here is my reason: The growers and canners were more or less panic stricken when they could not get rid of the greater part of the crop. " They forsaw not only large

present losses but also the practical extinction of the Industry. In their extremity they raised a fund of $50,000 and. placing It in the hands of a good advertising agency, "started a campaign in January of this year In

the magasines, to educate the people of the United States Into wanting more Hawaiian pineapples. .This advertising campaign has borne fruit and while I have been here I have

seen thousands of cases of Hawaiian pineapples shipped to supply the newly aroused demand of the American public And tbe American public will not be humbugged In ordering Hawaiian pineapples. I have eaten them and they are delicious. The canned

product such as you can get In Rich

mond is also delicious. Hawaiian

pineapples are canned practically in

the fields when they are in a fine, ripe

wtntllni In this wav vnn art a can.

The labor question H a big one to I, pIneapple navIng a bet flaTor

fore. If Richmond grocers will take a tip from me they will keep a good stock of Hawaiian pineapples In their

stores and if Richmond people will

take a tip from me they will order

Hawaiian pineapples for their tables.

know of. R G. LEEDS.

tent on Chinese labor. . After annex

were effective . here snd cut off that

supply of labor. As a substitute Japanese were brought In and up to the

present time have proved , very satis

factory. Last year, however, owing to the anti-Japanese sentiment on the

mainland, the agreement between Ja

pan and the United States was reach

ed that the former should forbid fur

ther, emmigratlon to territory under

the stars and stripes. 'Consequently

the planters cannot get any additional

Japanese laborers.

Just at present plantation after

plantation Is being tied up by a strike

among the Japanese laborers. Real

izing that since the new agreement

between Japan and tbe United States

it will be hard to get additional laborers, ' they are trying to force the

planters to grant an enormous In

crease in their wages. The bulk of

the Japanese laborers receive sixty-

nine cents for a day's work. Those on strike are demanding a dollar a

day. - As this means such an enormous increase In plantation pay rolls; I

doubt If the Japanese will win tbe

strike, believing the sugar companies

win fight them to the last ditch.

Another interesting industry here is the raising aad canning of pineapples. This is a comparitively new industry
