THE police have been busy in Fiji lately, trying to check a traffic in opium; and various Chinese in Lautoka and Ba have been sentenced to imprisonment, and heavy fines, for having the vicious drug in their possession.

The most serious development was a raid upon the crew of the Sugar Com pany’s steamer “Fiona”. As a result, the boatswain, Dickenson, was sentenced to two months’ gaol, and the carpenter, Nib lock, to one month, for being in possession of opium.

Output of Koitaki Para Rubber Estates, Ltd., Papua, for September was 38,480 lb. of dry rubber.
