Agricultural Analysis.

Don't get it into your head that
crop diversity means giving up rice.
ltmeans practical farming which will
enable the rice farmer to live at home,
buying only his tea, coffee, sugar.
spices, etc., at the grocery, and pay
ing for them out of the poultry yard,
the dairy and the garden.
It's nonsense to SAY that our rice
lands are worn out. They are rails
ing good rice in large quantities in
China, India and Japan on the same
land where they have been raising rice
for five centuries.
Don't plunge on cotton. A few
acres will not break you, even if the
price goes down, or if your crop is a
failure, but if you 60 in heavily you
will be jumping out of the frying pan
into the fire.
Vans, like rice, are good for man
and beast, and they grow we'll on rice
land. A mule will leave an ear OF
corn for yam any time, and they are
o good change feed.
Every acre of rice land planted in
cotton and properly worked will next
fall be an acre from red rice, and th at
will pay you even if you don't raise
much cotton.
The farmer who has lot and from
thirty to fifty porkers getting ready
for the market may consider himself
lucky. Hogs are good thing in the
rice belt and cheap to raise.-Rice

Preparing for Winter Visitors.

General Passenger Agent 7. j. An
derson of the Southern Pacific is Offer
ing inducements to our northern
friends to spend the winter in the
south, and has sent out blanks along
the line to ascertain the expense of
boarding at private houses for the
benefit of those contempting spending
the winter months here. The letter
accompanying the blank reads as
follows:
1--WE are sending you few blanks
with view of interesting the people
in your section to take boarders dur
ing the winter months. There are a
great number in the northwest and
northern states who can be induced to
come to the gulf region. A part of
them want to stop at private houses
and few would like to spend the win
ter on the ranches. The winter visi-
tors spend much money in the cOmmu-
nifty they visit, and we are anxious to
have the people in our territory get
their share. We do not care to have
anyone 60 to the expense of especially
fitting up for boarders until they are
sure of getting them, but we want to
be able to refer inquirers to those who
have houses or rooms they will rent
to those who want to do their own
cooking. AS this is matter that will
place money in the hands of the peo-
pie in your section. I know we can
count on having your aid by distribu-
ting and sending these blanks to those
you think will take winter boarders.
Many of them become permanent resi-
dents, building houses, purchasing
property and engaging in business.

COMMERCE
Of HAWAII
interesting Report by
Department OF
Labor.

The exports of manufactures this
year promise to exceed those of any
preceding year in the history of Amer
lea. The last four years there has been
an apparent dropping of in exports, al
though in reality there has been
steady increase in production which
however has not been included in the
estimates. This is due to the fact that
exports to this country and to Porto
Rico are no longer included in the
statistics complied by the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
In 1900 the exports of domestic man
ufactures amounted to s4ss, ,0G0 for
the whole fiscal year, which was The
highest figure ever recorded for the ex-
ports of domestic manufactures from
the United States. In 1901 the figures
showed s411, 600, 600, in 1902, s463, 900, 600,
and in 1908 s4o7, 0O0 o00.
This drop in the figures, however
was not entirely due to an actual re-
duction in the value of manufactures
leaving the ports of the United states,
but was in part because of the fact
that shipments of manufactures to Ha-
wall and Porto Rico, which had former
ly been included in the statement of
exports to foreign countries, were. hot
so included for the year 1900. The ex-
ports of manufactures TO Hawaii and
Porto Rico in 1900 amounted to sl1 &c.,,
900, and had these been included In the
figures of exports to foreign countries
subsequent to 1900 there would have
been comparatively little reduction.
The figures of exports to foreign coun-
tries in 1904 which are now completed
for the nine months ending with March,
indicate that the total value of ex-
ports of manufactures to foreign count
tries in the full fiscal year which ends
June 80 will exceed those of 1900, III
spite of the fact that Hawaii and Porto
Rico are no longer included. The total
value Of exports sent from the United
States to Hawaii and Porto Rico for the
present fiscal year will aggregate $25,-
900, coo, and of this manufactures form
about two-tIirds of the grand total
In the nine months ending with March.
1904, manufactures shipped to Porto
Rico and Hawaii have probably aggre-
gated about s10,00O,6O0 in value. Fhe|
total value of the manufactures export
ed to foreign countries in the nine
months ending with March exceeds by
s17, 900, 900 that of 1900, the banner year,
in which the figures of exports to Ha-.
waii and Porto Rico were included.
To compare, therefore, the shipments
from the ports of the United States In
the nine months ending with March,
1904, with those of the corresponding
months of 1900, the shipments to Ha-

nine months ending with March, zsci,
over the corresponding period of 1868,
and 4cair of $50. 000, eco compared with
the same period Of 1907. Comparing
conditions with those of a decade ago
It may be said that exports of man
ufactures have almost trebled. In the
nine months ending with March, 1884,
the total value of domestic manufac-
lures exported was s1ss, 500, 14s against
1896, 572, 215
Imports of manufactures show a de-
cided falling off in the nine months end
ing with March. 1904, as compared
with the corresponding period OF 1903.
TO obtain a statement of the imports
of manufactures, the Bureau of Statis-
tics groups in three classes, viz, wholly
or partially manufactured materials for
use in manufacture; manufactured
ready for consumption; and the group
articles of voluntary use, luxuries, ETC.;
and this gives approximately the value
of all manufactures coming into the
United states, and amounts in total to
1924. SIS. $50 in. the nine months ending
with March, 1904, against $3.50, 101,T4I in

ever, that the group articles of yolnn-
tary use. etc. contains some articles
which could not properly be classed as
manufactures, especially diamonds, of
which the Importation has grown stead.
ily for several years past until the pres
ent fiscal year, which shows a decided
falling off compared with 1903.
For The eight months ending with
February, the diamonds imported
amounted to 81. 100000 against over
SIG. 0oo. 600 in the corresponding period
of last year. These, if deducted from
the Bureau of statistics figures of nam
ufactures, would bring the total for the
nine months down to about $500, 000, 600
worth of manufactures imported,
against 1880 600. 900 worth exported dur
ing the same period.
These figures seem to justify the pre-
diction that the value of manufactures
sent out from the ports of the United
states in the fiscal year 1904 will ex-
coed those of any preceding year, and
will also exceed the imports OF manu-
features during that same period.

Chambers Circuit Court
Hilo, May 4, 1904.
Editor Hilo Tribune:
My dear sfr.-After four years of sue
cessful administration as Judge of this
circuit, it is most gratifying to see the
steadfast devotion and feel the unani-
NOUS determination of my fellow citi-
zens who represent the best we have
in standing and property over whom
my court presides, to insist on my re-
appointment as judge of this circuit.
/ have watched the progress of affairs
in this Territory during my residence
here with some degree of interest, es-
pecially since we became a Territory,
and am deeply interested in our future
prosperity. and while the judicial office
is not in a sense a political one, yet the
selection Of judge is in q measure po-
Iitical in its Specification. Viewing it
in that light, consider myself too good
republican to stand any longer in the
way of the selection of some gentleman
of the bar OF this Court other than my
self. or to have my friends any further
importune the President or Attorney
General in my behalf for the position,
which political necessity and the unfit
cation of the party may require to be
given to some one else.
I have. therefore. concluded to with
draw my name from further considera-
ton, and in order that no mistake may
be made in the selection of my success
sor, I ask all my friends to use all hon
orable means to secure the appointment
of Homer L.. Ross of this city. Mr..
Ross will be as oil on the troubled wa
tiers and be a most worthy successor.
I take this occasion to thank not in
words merely formal. but with deep
sincerity all my friends, personal and
the press, which supported me- I shall
during the coming years endeavor to
merit your continued support and good
wishes. Very truly yours,

Business ii New Orleans.

| The following excerpts from Dun IS
Review Of Oct. !, showing general
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove OF interest:
General Conditions-Trade condi-
tions have been favorable, and the
movement of merchandise is large.
Collections continue to improve and
are coming in quite satisfactorily. The
outlook in the sugar section is I'M
usually good, and in the cotton section
an average yield is expected. The
trade generally anticipate large and
prosperous fall business. Retail trade
is fairly good.
Cotton-Receipts of cotton continue
heavy. So far 99T, 926 bales have been
received, against 5I6,514 last year.
The demand for spot cotton is good
and exports are unusually large. Not
withstanding the good demand for
cotton, the market both for future and
spots has declined steadily during the
week, the decline averaging from fifty
to sixty points. The market, however,
closes fairly steady. Local stocks are
SO, TAO bales.
Rice-Reeeipts of rough rice for the
season amount to AT, $3.50 sacks, against
1902, 967 last year. Receipts of clean
rice were 81,378 pockets, against 1900
last year. Receipts Of rough rice have
been comparatively heavy, and while
the demand for the better grades con-
tinues good, the prices received are
extremely low, although the market is
fairly steady. Clean rice is in fairly
good demand, especially for the better
grades. Dan Talmage's Sons report
the Louisiana crop movement to date
as follows: Receipts, 500, 4O3 sacks
rough, against 394 $50 sacks last year,
and sales of 232, 1853 pockets cleaned
compared with 1874, 81 pockets in 1908.
Sugar-Receipts from plantations
are extremely light, and only a moder-
ate volume of business is being tran
sacted. The market is firm and the
demand good. Molasses is nominal.

any left, return it and pay for the
rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was

INSIDE INFORMATION
A Few Facts That Are of Interest to
EVERYBODY.

A politician has inside information
about deal before he goes into it. A
business man looks into proposition
before tackling it. An engineer would
not think of buying a piece OF ma
chinery without knowing all about it.
The same rule should apply to a
watch. No one should purchase a
watch without having inside informa-
ton. The case may be all right, but
it's the works that really count. Come
