ing Weakened to new life. That the develop
ment did not entirely cease was almost al
together due to the fact that in the south
such conditions existed that manufacturers
could erect and operate plants to great adj
vantage over the more expensive and more
unfavorably situated factories in other
parts OF the country, despite the limited
markets. With depression in the old es-
tablished manufacturing centers OF the
north, many Of the wide-awake business
men OF those communities protected them
selves by investing in new plants In south
ern localities, where the cost of buildings
power, raw MATERIAL cheap and efficient la
Dor and other advantages enabled many
kinds OF factories to run at a profit when
the less favorably situated ones had to close
down. 1t might be put down an an indus
trial axiom that 1t is In the times of dull
trade. commercial depression. In the So
called hard times" when the best loca-
tions and sections for industries of various
kinds are most plainly made known. In
flush times. with active markets and high
prices and large margins of profits, the
poorly located factory and the out-of-date
factory may prove a profitable investment:
but with the cessation of activity and the
lowering OF selling prices, 1t is a case of the
survival of the fittest, and the establish
ment which has untoward conditions, In the
shape OF more costly location, older ma
chinery, higher cost of production, must
close its doors. Two noteworthy examples
of this Industrial fact are the cotton and
iron industries. While the New England
cotton industry was woefully stricken by
the hard tines from 1898 to 1898, there
was steady increase In the industry in tho
south. with q good profit to investors. Dur;

DEVELOPMENT OF
RESOURCES ON SOUTHERN

There is certainly an Improvement In the
general industrial situation of the United
States. Factories in all parts of the coin-
try which have been idle or running on
short shifts are now in full operation, and
are able to find market for their products
at profitable prices. The great products Of
iron, lumber, cotton goods and others are
especially feeling the effects of the healthier
conditions in our foreign and domestic
trade. Industrial development, as rule,

HOW ALABAMA GREAT
SOUTHERN WAS BUILT

In 1856 congress granted to the state of
Alabama all the odd numbered section of
public land lying within fifteen miles on
each side of a railroad to be constructed be-
tween point near Chattanooga, on the
north, and a point near Meridian on the
south. where is would connect with the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad. Two railroads were
organized by the legislature of Alabama to
accept this grant; the Wills Valley railroad,
which was destined to run from Chattanoo-
ga to a point near Alfalfa, and the north
east and southwestern railroad, to run from
Alfalfa to Meridian. Part Of the Wills
Valley railroad was constructe dbefore the
war, and was operated as far south as

Rudolf Hering's Offer Accepted as Su-

The cabinet after a long session this
forenoon decided unanimously to begin

tendance of the members of the execu-
tive and the superintendent of pubic
works was also present.
A letter has been written to Rudolf
Herring, the great civil engineer, ac-
cepting his terms as superintendent OF
the work, and also with regard to the
assistant superintendent whom Mr..
Herring will appoint and bring with
him. The local superintendent will be
arranged for later on.
Mr.. Herring is also asked to secure
information about materials and ma
chinery and forms have been forward
ed as to the manner in which tenders
should be advertised for. These tend
ers will be sent to Honolulu and op-
ened here.
The important question to let

The area to be included in the FIRST

bounded by Nuuanu stream, the har-
Dor front, Alapai street and Beretania

extension to Thomas square. Later
subsequent legislatures will have to
be asked to supply the means for fur
ther extensions. The work is so laid

HAWAIIAN BILL IN SHAPE
HOUSE COMMITTEE REACHES AN
AGREEMENT.
Is Practically in Accord With Senate
Committee but Minority Opposes the
Provisions of Judicial Tenure

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
house committee on territories reach
ed final agreement this afternoon to
make a favorable report on the Ha-
waiian bill. The agreement to report
was unanimous, although the Demo-
Gratis of the committee reserved the
right to make minority report oppos-
ing several features of the bill. The
drafting of the majority report was
left to Chairman Knox, who VIII take
several days before presenting the bill
and report.
AS agreed to the bill is in all essen
tial features the bill submitted by the
Hawaiian commission, although chan
ged to conform to the changes already
made by the senate committee, and al
so as a result of the discussions before
the committee covering more than a
month. Most of the senate amend
ments are agreed to, the purpose being
to have the legislation in both houses
conform as far as possible. In addition
to these, Section 25 of the committee
bill is struck out. 1t provided punish
ment for persons guilty of disrespsct
or offense against the Legislative boo
les of Hawaii.
Another change not made by the
senate is the striking out of Section IS
for an investigation of the land laws
of Hawaii. The qualifications of cleo
tors, representatives and senators,
which have been subject to much dis
cussion, are arranged so that limlta-
tions are placed on admission to the
house, while the qualifications OF
senators and electors of senators are
$1,000 of property or 5000 income.
The minority report will be directed
mainly against the principle of a prop
erty qualification and against life ten
ures for the judiciary.
