Among the passengers of the

who comes to the islands to look
into our method of banana culture
and other tropical fruits. He has
been engaged in the business for a
number of years On one of the isl
ands of the Corribean Sea, and is
well acquainted with the best varie-
ties as well as with the best methods
of cultivation practiced there. He
seems to think that San Francisco
ought to get all her supply from

the islands, and would insure the
Californians a better grade of fruit
than they can get from the East.

An Iron Wharf to be Built by
the q. s. Government.

the q. s. Government.
some years ago, through the in-
strumentality of Commodore Richard
w. Mead, Z. s. n, now Commits
sioner to the Columbian Worlds
Fair" says the S. f. Call, "a treaty
was made with the Samoan people,
whereby the privilege was secured
by the United States Government of
having coaling station for naval
vessels in that distant island Of the
Southern Pacific. Until recently
nothing of permanent character
has been done, but now our Govern
ment has taken steps toward estab-
fishing a station there.
Lieutenant j. H. G. Coffin, .. S.
n, who left by the Alameda, will
stop off at Tutuila, where he will
make the necessary soundiDgs for an
| iron pier or wharf to extend out into
Athe bay about 270 feet. At the end
of the pier the wharf proper will be
about $50 feet long by 80 or 40 feet
wide. The wharf and piling is to be
all of iron to better withstand the
elements of water and weather. Bids
will probably be let for the construc-
ton of the wharf after Lieutenant
Coffin makes his report.
"As it will be necessary to have a
