TROUBLES OF HAWAII.
It Has Not Prospcred Under Rule O
United States.

United states.
Sacramento, Cal, Aug. In an in
terview today. Governor G. C. Garter
of the Hawaiian Islands said:
The annexation of the islands to the
United States has not been d CONNER
cial success so far as the isla nds are
concerned. Since we have been United
States territory we have mott made
great progress.
"One reason for this is because the
laws by which we are governed are
mot suited to the country For in
stance we have to obey the United
States land laws and cannot rem. gov
eminent land for a period of more thar
four or five years at time. AS II
takes from two to four years to real
lie crop in our climate, we cannot
find anybody that will rent land for
such a short period as FIVE years Thus
we are deprived of a big income crom
government lands.
Since we have been annexed. Cor.
gress has never dredged our harbor4 1t
is filling up and thus prevents the
landing of the largest vessels AS a
result of this our traffic is falling off
We have dredged the harbor at our own
expense since we have been annexed
but unless it Is dredged again we Will
lose much of our traffic.
Annexation has cut off all our in
ternal revenue. On the other hand
from Uncle Sans point of view. an
nexation has been decided success
Over SG.250,000 has been paid into the
United States treasury from the is
lands. The whole cost of annexation
was only $4,000.

struction of property.

It is a turism that the trend of life
hangs on the turn of a step. but In
this case the fate of Elsie Clarke
waited on the turn of an automobile.
which was whirling around the curves
of country road at breakneck speed
On the front seat were the owner
of the automobile. Walter Earle, and
edly married couple who were doing
all In their power to bring about a
match between Elise Clarke and Ar
thur wynne, the couple on the back
seat. In fact, all the friends of these
two young people had decided 1t was
a perfect match and were using all
their endeavors to further it,
There was no trouble as far as
wynne was concerned. He was in love
with theRair young woman to the full
extent OF his placid. well-regulated ma
ture, while she was trying hard to
reason herself into a reciprocity. She
told herself over and, over that he po-
sessed every quality of eligibility. He

moment she was in his presence. she
felt 3 70 iistic to the fate awaiting
her. r. 1.eariy bored her. and she
skillfuf1y warded of his proposal
The simple solution of the situation
was that she was not in love with
him. and that love never would $e-
spond to reasoning. She knew better
than to advance this argument to his
supporters. for she intuitively felt they
would consider love an obsolete emo
ton. Finally she had come to believe
that. since she had met so many men,
and none awakened the grand passion
the fault must lie in her, and that she
was not capable of falling in love.
She felt that this day and ride was
TO be the contamination of the affair
and that 1t was purposely planned by
the Earles and Wynnes. They were
now, at the close of an early summer
afternoon. en- route to a country inn
several miles distant where they were
to dine. after which she knew the
Earles would discreetly vanish for a
stroll on the lake shore, leaving her
alone with Wynne and her fate. The

Business and Industrial conditions

The iron trade, too, is showing i'm
provement and even bituminous coal
is looking up. Other basic industries,
however, are not so favorably situated
Demand for boots and shoes Is less

able carried over stocks. but leather is
active and higher, owing partly to the
effect of the meat strike upon the hide
market. A few large strikes are re-

different industries Gross railway
earnings returns indicate a slight loss

Altogether the outlook, while cheer
