Hawaii is not a distributing point;
all merchandise brought TO the Terri
tory is for home consumption, and
therefore all customs collections are
paid directly by the people. During
this period IA, 825. 420 pounds of sugar
were produced, with a value of $35, 310.-
6s4.0O. OF this, the Island of Hawaii
alone produced 81, $4,000 pounds
The amount of capital invested IN
plantation and business enterprises is
s120, 55S, 070 The net profit of the Ter
ritory to the Federal Government from
Annexation to June 3oth, 1903. was sS,-
254. s.e9.
The profit now is upwards Of 500, 900
a month or over 81. zoe, 600 a year, over
and above the amount expended by the
Federal Government for Territorial ex-
penses.
Hawaii defrays her own legislative,
besides other Territorial expenses,
which are paid by the Federal Govern
ment in other Territories.
Hawaii is in absolute need of public
buildings for Honolulu ard Hilo.
The F1arbor at Hi,o is wholly unpro-
tected- The heavy swelIs coming over
Blonde Reef make it practically inpos-
sible for vessels to take on or unload
cargo, passengers and mail, except in
lighters and small boats, and these are
frequently capsized, the mali going to
the bottom and either lost or brought
up by divers. Vessels are oftentimes
required to lay here for days, some
times almost weeks, unable to do any
thing with cargo, and are obliged to
go to sea, at times. to save themselves

The breakwater will make this one of
the best harbors in the world.
Hilo. the second city of the Terri
tory, does large amount of shipping.
Its population and commerce is in |
creasing rapidly.
The harbor at Honolulu needs to be |
dredged and the channel leading to the |
harbor deepened and widened, so that |
the largest battleships and other ves- |
sells can enter and dock for supplies |
or cargo.
Legislation for these improvements is
Imperative and necessary to foster and |

fully realize that at this session it |
VIII be extremely difficult tic secure any /
legislation. I, however, inform you /
briefly of our needs and situation in
the nope that I can ask your aid and
support early next session In securing |
for the Territory, appropriations for
the objects specified which call for but

An acknowledgment of the receipt Of
this communication, together with any
suggestions that you may desire to

entail, Philippine and Australian port
is considerably over 200 miles shorter
via Hilo than by way of Honolulu, and
with the construction of the Panama
Canal, it being more southern than Ho-
/, nolulu, the distance via Hilo will still
| be considerably lessened. The harbor
is large, and amply able to accommo-
date a large number of vessels, being
very considerably larger than that of
Honolulu.
very much desire to have an oppor-
trlnity to be heard and present to you
and the committee information relative
to this measure, so that some action
can be had.
l further desire to state that the GUS
toms receipts of the Islands for the
fiscal year ending June Both, 1908, were
$1.l93, 677.S3, Hawaii being eleventh as
shown by attached list and for the
month of December alone, in 1903, they
We're $160,e00. The Federal Government
is receiving from the Territory in e,.-
cess of all its expenditures net profit
of upwards OF 100000 per month, or
more than $1,200,000 a year, and for the
period ending June both, 1908, the Ter
ritory had yielded net profit to the
Federal Government of $3,254, 66S.69 in
-
With this protection given to the
Harbor of Hilo, within the period of
the next ten years the City of Hilo
will unquestionably increase it's pop
ulation to upwards of $4,000, and its
shipping many fold.
The Island of Hawaii, being less de-
yeloped and containing greater pos
sibilities for agriculture than any of
the other islands of the group, should
receive more than ordinary considera-
ton.
Thanking you for an early reply,
remain.

there comes a session where they are

No. 3. passenger train was wrecked
at Mcfarland, Tuesday night. 1t

Louis Boehler, of this city was in

states that he was not injured.
Later reports say that it was a head
end collision, the passenger running
into a stock extra. From the num-
Der dead it must be assumed that a
great many are injured.

Hon. Lot Ravenscraft is advocat-

son or some other central city to
Kansas City. He thinks the road
would cost about ten millions of dol
lars and should be owned by the
state entirely. He thinks it would
have tendency to cause the other
railroads to give the people a better
show in the way of rates and be-
cause it is needed as is shown by
the wheat still on the ground in
the state, owing to the inability of
the roads to get cars to haul it; and
from the further fact that cattle ship

inability toget cars.-Ashland Clip

Alfalfa men in western Kansas
have grievance against the rail-
roads. They claim the roads are
discriminating. 1t costs IS cents a
bushel to ship alfalfa seed, while the
rate of shipping millet is only 10
cents bushel, and they weigh just
the same. Not one railroad man in
ten can tell which is millet seed and
which is alfalfa seed by looking at
it. Inasmuch as the railroads were
giving the farmers the worst of it,
some of the shippers concluded
they would turn trick themselves,
so they have been shipping alfalfa
seed and labelling it millet to get the
Io-cent rate. This subterfuge saves
about S25o car.-Mail and Breeze.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN DRESS

The English newspapers. ostensibly on the initiative of the court contin- gent, are rcviving the discussion of the question of greater variety of male attire. The king is said to be heartily in favor of it on artistic grounds, and the incentive of his encoura cement has created a demand among the London tailors for various novelties in full dress costume for the smart set-such. for example. as knee brooches. swallow tail coat, with bright colCred silk lin ing and collar. etc.
 Our transa tlantic cousins are often subject of jest on the score of their clothes. This is only partly fair. how ever. The working of their ideas is frequently defective. but for one guid-. ing principle they deserve unlimited credit; if an Englishman believes that a certain style becomes him personally. it takes a yoke of oxen and a two inch chain to drag him away from it. Within certain well defined lines Eng fish dressers will fellow each other like a flock of sheep, but when it comes to the treatment Of their individual peculiar ities, they have their own ideas, and they stick to them.
 Take the single matter of hats for an illustration. An American who takes great pride in his costume will feel that something has been lost out of life if he does not get the latest fall shape of silk chimney-pOt in Novem- Der and the newest thing of the same sort in April. The Englishman. on the other hand. having discovered. or be ieving that he has discovered the par ticular crown and rim, band and roll which suits his physiognOmy, will or der his hats from the same block as fast as the old ones wear cut For that reason one can see a greater aggre- gatiOn of styles in Piccadilly on one fair day than in three or four years in Connecticut avenue.
 The same general fact is true of other details of costume, though not in quite the same degree as of hats. It would be a good thing for the artistic whcle of a street scene in this country if our men were as independent-or. rather, individuaI-as their British contemporaries in such matters.- Washington Post

MIME. cURIE's PERSONALITY.

Mme- Skiodowska- -Curie, the learn ed discoverer of radium, is described as an attractive woman who dresses with out the least attention to style. With fine, regular features, light blue eyes and a good forehead framed in magni- ficent light, wavy hair, her face is dis tinctly pleasing, except for the thin lips which give a touch of hardness to the expression. In figure she is tall ard we'll built. AIme. Curie lives with her husband. and little daughter in a small house in a suburb of Paris. but most of their time seems to be spent at his laboratory or at the Paris School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry and the Superior Normal school at Sevres. where the husband and wife are res pectively engaged in teaching.
 Mime. Curie, who now is Cnly 36 years old, met her husband at the university in Paris, where the two young students worked side by side in the chemical laboratory. When NJ. Curie. after bril- liant scientific labors, obtained a pro- fessorship which gave him modest in come, he married Mile. Skiodowska.- N. Y. Tribune.
