ELECTRIC CoMPANY's
YEAR.
Business has Been Good and Increas-
ing-Plant has Been Improved-Pro-
fits Have Been Handsome.

The annual reports of the Hawaiian
Electric Company are now in the hands
of the stockholders. The treasurer's
report shows gross earnings of $685.
114.24, exceeding those of 1897 by $685.,
429.9S. The sources of earnings were:
Light and power, $50, 754.01; sales of ice,
S2S,640; cold storage, S9,S20.90; profit on
merchandise, $S,S9933.
The operating expenses for the
year were $4S, 1880: profits, $44, ,361.f4.
Dividends amounting to $19,750 have
been disbursed. The increase of oper-
ating expenses over the preceding
year was $3,290.13, due to Increased
consumption of coal incidental to the
larger production of light and power.
The assets of the company at the
close of the year were $293, ,0S7.S1; the
liabilities $16,561.54.
The additions to the plant have been
large and costly, and are: Two 300
H. p. Heine boilers; one 500 H. p. Cor
liss engine; 1 5000 light alternating dy-
namo, which, with the necessary foun-
dations, have cost $36 $685. II; there
have also been additions and extern
sions of the poles and lines, amounting
to $12,60S.59, making a grand total of
$48,762.30 expended in permanent i'm
provementS and revenue producing
enlarge snents of the plant, more than
doubling its productive capacity.
Manager norman reports: we have
made improvements in the way of in
creasing our boiler plant from 600 II.
p to LOCO H. P; the engine capacity
from $50 H. p. to 9S5 H. p. the dyna-
mo capacity from 1900 16 c. r. lights
to $500 16 c. p lights.
The improvements we have made
cost a little more than the amount
estimated as the engine and dynomo
are of slow speed type, and found to be
much more economical in running than
the high speed. In the past year the
lights have not been up to standard
all the time, the cause was on account
of the overload of the machines, and
the long wait for new machinery which
was not delivered at the time speci-
fed.

ports that the directors have had

BEWARE Of THE KLOND|KE

Newspaper Boom in the Interest of the

Editor Star: Now that considerable
newspaper publication is being made
OF the klondtke, or properly speaking
the Yukon territory, 1 sincerely trust
that our citizens will not be carried
away with the glowing accounts as
published, and desire to go, like so
many have, to disaster and death.
Newspapers have distorted the truth
and Haunted the untruth, not for the
advantage of Dawson or the Klondike.

but for the gain of INSCRIPTIONS out
filters. These send to Dawson a class
of persons untitled for mining. unpre-
pared for the rigors of the climate, and
unaccustomed to the hardships of the
journey, there to meet with great dis
appointment. Transportation compa-
MES have also proflted immensely.
The poor mortal-but a mere skele-
ton Of eXistence-bemoahs his foolhar-
diness, alone, too proud to acknowl-
edge his mistake and too poor to re-
turn. The humiliation of returning to
his friends to relate his unsuccessful
trip with it's hairbreath escapes at ev-
cry turn, firmly sets his mind with the
desire to win or Bust" And the re-
suit win be. many will never see their
friends again.
The Yukon country offers untold op-
portunities to thousands of people, but
they must be people of means, coupled
with strong constitutions, pluck and
energy Dawson today has thousands
who would be far better off at home
than there, and undoubtedly relief this
year must be sent there.
There are valuable mining properties
in the Yukon district, but they have
long ago been taken up. The output
this year should be enormous, but re-
member people from all parts of the
world are assembled there
The ridiculous and exaggerated sto-
ries that have been and are being cir
culated by interested persons and by
newspapers should be stopped.

THE AVERAGE LIFE.

1t is difficult to determine accurately
the average life of a good bicycle but
1T is estimated that the ordinary per-
son, riding to and from his business
and for pleasure, covers about 1000
miles in a year. There are Sterlings in
use that have been ridden nearly 40,0 900
miles, which would be equivalent to 20
years of average service. One Sterling
bicycle was ridden in one year over
SS 900 miles, and in doing this the
wheels rotated in their bearings near
ly 25,000,000 times, and the bearings
when examined showed no appreciable
wear. The bearings for the '99 model
Sterling are the S. & j. special drawn
steel, corboniZed and ground bone, to
diamond temper, and ground on their
own centers, making them not only
true, but absolutely in line with each
other. Felt washers and ball retain.

MISS LONGS ADDRESS.
Something of Her Thought Regarding
Public Reading.

Monday evening next, Miss Long
gives her address on Teaching Com
mon Sense Reading" at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Miss Long had a very successful ca
reer as a teacher of reading and meth
DDS Of teaching reading in various in
stituNIcns in the United States, before
becoming a volunteer nurse in the
army, in which capacity she came to
Honolulu
She has appeared several times here
as a reader in public and always to
the great pleasure of her audiences.
Miss Long has a great contempt for the
conventional or theatrical in reading,
whether public or private reading. Her
idea is that reading should be the nat
ural expression of the sentiments or
ideas which prompted the words read,
and that neither hallowed associations
nor long usage, nor arbitrary signifl-
canoe given to punctuation or subject
can justify any other endeavor in a
reader than to be the means of con-
veying to the hearer the true thought
of what is read.

INPORTAT|ONS Of COIN
OVER $65O,OOO IMPORTED DURING
THREE MONTHS.
Minister Of Finance Keeps a Reserve
in the Treasury to Meet a Probable
Hiatus in Revenue.

1.-THE importations of coin into this
country for the first three months of
the year." said Minister of Finance
Damon, have been and will be very
large. In January the importations
were $203,O00, in February there have
been $150,000 and we expect to have
5000, 900 in March, in all 1858, 900.
THE orders for coin are heavy at
this season of the year because the
demand for labor is very great through
the numerous new enterprises which
are being started. There are hundreds
and thousands of acres of land coming
under cultivation, which have not
borne anything but grass in the past
Then there have had to be quite un-
usual amounts at the custom house for
the Importation of machinery, tools
and other things required by the new
ventures. From this you can see how
necessary the importation of coin has
been. But 1t is all going towards pro-
ductive enterprises which will yield a
good return for the money that has
been invested.
with regard to the balance in the
treasury, that is a mere act of pru-
dence, under the peculiar circumstan-
ces that we are in. We are paying out
for all the improvements ordered by
the legislature, compatible with econo-
my. There has been no cessation in
pushing forward public work always
with due regard to the proper proper
tion being carried on from month to
month.
But we must remember that we
may shortly lose the revenue from the
custom house and from the postofflce
which will accrue to the federal gov
ernment as soon as the new funda-
mental law is settled. Had we not n
reserve in the treasury to meet the
hiatus which will surely occur until
our new revenues and expenditures
adapt themselves, we should be in a
very uncomfortable position indeed
We must look forward to the eventual
tiles of the future as well as to our i'm
mediate present needs. In fact, to use
an old proverb. we must cut our coat
according to our cloth, and we must
also take care to have cloth enough
left to patch any rents that may oc-
cur during the process of wearing"
