wanton destruction of the food fishes Of
the Territory
In former years the fishing was done
almost exclusively by Hawaiians. The
great majority of the fishermen are now
Japanese, and to their method OF fishing
is chargeabie the very marked diminu-
ton Of the fish supply. BY fishing in the
shallow waters with nets of small meshes
many of the young fry are destroyed
Their faVorite way of fishing is to have
a net from 600 to 1000 feet in length, with
a mesh not exceeding a half inch and in
the center large bag or trap lined with
mosquito netting, and with a boat at
either end they sweep the bays and In
lets. taking everything in reach Of the
net, even to the smallest fish but a few
days old. This practice means the rapid
destruction of the fish supply, yet q bin
introduced In the last legislature to linn
1t the size of mesh to not less than one
inch failed to receive any consideration
further than first reading. The objection
to the bill was that it would prohibit
the catching of several varieties of small
fish of which the Hawaiians are very
fond. In retaining this privilege the de-
struction Of a large number of the more
important fish is made certain. / recon
mend that special agent of the Fish
Commission be located in the Territory
and that proper restrictive measures be
put in force at an early date.

PUBLIC LANDS.
Much of the matter contained in the re-
port is embodied in the recommendations
of Binger Hermann, Comm ssioner OF the
General Land Office at Washington. MIR.
Cooper gives the history of the methods
uudel which the crown lands were held
and disposed of by the king, and of pres
ent laws says:
1T is difficult to see how more just
or adequate system of disposing of the
public lands could be enacted, having in
view local conditions. To attempt to APP
ply the general land laws to the public
lands OF the Territory would most GER
ta.nly lead to confusion. In many of the
tracts there is such an intermingling of
private and public interests that il would
be impossible to apply the laws. Fur
Their, the size, shape and character of
| the lands would seem to be against such
! action The locate and quantity of the
principal lands are shown upon the
maps, but description of the charac-
ter of the lands can only be gwen in a
general way.
Where the maps fail TO show lands
mentioned in the schedule ii is for the
reason that they are either so diminutive
as not to be distinguishable on the map
or that they have not been surveyed.
! COMMERCE..
| THE volume of commerce to the cred
il of the Territory is very satisfactory.
While the great bulk of our trade can
no longer be placed in the export col
umns of our accounts it is necessary for
the purpose of comparison to include the
amounts of domestic products shipped
to the mainland with that exported to
foreign countries. In this connection 1t
becomes pertinent to note the d fiiculty
which exists in showing the amount ~of
our domestic trade. Since the 18th of
June, $780, the day when Hawaii became
an organized territory, no entry of goods
has been required when either shipped
to or from the mainland. For this rea-
son it is not practicaU.e to give an ac-
curate account of the amount of Amer
lean goods that have entered the Terri
tory.
Through the courtesy of the collector
of the port of Honolulu am able to give
the following statistics for the fiscal pc
riod ending June 30, 1901:

From a knowledge OF the extensive
imprC vements that lave been maize upon
the plantations during the past year and
the increased amount of general mer-
chandise purchased, a conservative esti-
mate of our trade with the mainland
would place the figures at about $4,000.

with a total population of 15S, ~, the
amount OF produce shipped and exported

Greater harbor facilities are urgently
needed at all the ports of entry. At Ho-
nolulu many vessels are detained far be-
yond the number of days stipulated in
the charter. with the consequent increas-
ed expenses. An appropriation for the
Improvement of Honolulu and Hilo har-
bors has been asked for which / trust
will meet with your approval.
| REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES
THE principal sources of revenue are
/ from taxes levied upon real and personal
property the sale OF Territorial Internal
revenue stamps, license fees. penalties
and costs in civil and criminal actions.
! inheritance tax, rates from waterworks,
| rents from land, and land sales.
| Taxes levied upon real and personal
property are limited to / per cent per an
mum upon the assessed value. Assess
ments, however. are made upon the basis
of actual cash value. The method of as
sessing enterprises for profit as whole
has made a considerable increase in the
value of taxable property. In this way
the earning capacity OF corporations is
a factor in increasing the amount of
money contributed by the plantations.
IAN income tax of 2 per cent was pass
ed by the legislature at its first session,
1s01 The validity of the law was con-
tested, but the supreme court OF the Ter
ritory sustained the law. This tax will
probably produce about $4,000 per an
mum.
The estimated receipts. July /. 1901. to
June So 1902. show a total OF s2.565, 500.
The summary of appropriations for bien-
NAL period ending June so 1903, salaries
and pay rolls, totals $2.I49. S13.50 Current
expenses of all departments totals S. $751;
6S0.52.

FISHERIES.

THE status Of private fishing rights is
not quite certain. The organic act re-
pealed ali Hawaiian laws which confer
red exclusive rights upon private per
sons, and declared all fisheries in the
sea waters to be free to all citizens of
the United States, subject, however. to
vested rights. a number OF the most val
liable fishing rights were conveyed to in
dividuals as appurtenanees to land. This
class seems clearly to come within the
term vested rights" The remainder of
the fishing rights were conferred by stat
ute and ii may well be argued that such
rights, having been created by the law
making power, are subject to be extin-
guished by the repeal of the law If this
view Is sound, congress having repealed
the laws, there are now no exclusive
rights except such as may have been
granted by patent or deed
Under present conditions, some speedy
action must be taken to prevent the

STOCK RAISING AND DAIRYING.
..,Fbe raising of stock has received new
life during the past two years, owing TO
the great advances in the price of meat
Many importations of the improved
grades have been made, and much CAPT
tai is being invested in the enterprise
The business is, as a general rule car
ried on in the mountain districts, Where
large tracts of fairly good pasture land
have been secured. The difficulty has
been, and still continues TO be, the IN
certainty of the rainfall No attempts
have been made to raise crops for fatten-
ing purposes. A few of the stockmen
have made efforts to improve their pad
docks by the introduction of forage
grasses. The presence of the hornfiy is
a great source of annoyance TO the cat
tie. In some districts this pest is so bad
that the stock will not fatten, owing to
the incessant assaults of swarTns Of fl-es.
While the man with a few head or stock
may be able, by the application of GER
tain washes that are obnoxious TO the
fly. to give relief to his cattle, there
seems to be no practical remedy for
large herds Fortunately the fly is not
so numerous upon the highlands as near
the sea. The local Industry is not able
to supply the meat required for con-
sumption.
1.-The making of butter receives the at
tention of some of the stockmen owning
ranches in the mountains. The cows are
partially MIXED and the balance reserv-
ed for the calves that are kept In the
corrals about the milking sheds.
THE production of milk is very ex-
pensive, for all the bran, middllngs and
other food stuffs have to be shipped from
the mainland. Sorghum and alfalfa are
grown for fodder, but these are INSULT
Client to produce a good flow of milk,
unless combined with other food. Milk
sells at retail for 10 and II cents a quart,
and from selected cows, Is cents quart.
The warm and unvarying climate does
not seem to be conducive to the raising
of a milk-producing strain of cows BY
judicious selections for a number of
years this may be accomplished, but eff
forts along this line have, so far, shown
no appreciable results. AS far as present
Information goes, there have been no
trials at cheese making, probably owing
to the fact that milk Is disposed of at
such high prices
