Panama Canal.--The action of the
United States Government In. COM
mencing the construction OF the PAN
anna Canal, Will be of very great inn
portance to Hawaii, commercials. The
fact of there not being sufficient U. s.
tonnage to carry our sugar crops via
Cape Horn to New York. has given us
much concern, but the opening of the
canal means ample service, as well as
increased trade.
"'rhe Board has devoted time and
thought to matters pertaining to gov
eminent, such as to its financial con-
dition. county BILL and the ACCESSIBILITY
of an extra session of the legislature.
The Committee on Legislation and Pub

ferences as well as extended correspon-
dence with the Governor. calling atten-

vancing may measures OF vital impor-
lance, not only to our commercial in
terests. but for promoting public health
and other benefits.

Rapid Transit & Land Company, that
have been made during the past twelve
months. and the able service this COM
pany renders. The Importance and con-
venience of rapid transit about the city
is certainly n great help to its COM
mercial interest. The service and the
we'll equipped cars are source of sur
prise to those visiting our shores.
Since the establishment of the Pa
cifc cable. its Importance not only to
the business community, but to the gen.
eral public has grown daily. Too much
praise can hardly be given to Mr.. Clar-
ence NJ. Mackay and associates for what
they have done i'm thus advancing Ha-
wallis best interests.
MINOR INDUSTRIES.
Business, Crops and Minor Indus
tries.--The lack of prosperity in so
many branches of trade during the past
year. is recorded with deep regret Eff
forts have been made to devise ways
and means for the Improvement of busi-
ness generally. but without the hope
for results. Although there has been
a shrinkage In the sugar crop of 1904,
this shortage is likely to be made up in
part. by the late advances in the worlds
