IMPROVED HARb0R
MORE SHIPS WILL CONE
AND RATES l0WiR[D

The annual report upon the improve
ment of Pearl and Honolulu harbors,
In charge of Lieut.. j. X. Slattery has
been received here. The report is in
pamphlet form and known as appendix
engineers for 1905. Relative to the
commerce between Honolulu and the
United States and foreign ports during
the calendar year of 1904 the shipping
amounted to more than 300.22S tons,
valued at $lS.551,1ll. Passengers
numbering 6,636 departed from this
port during 1904.
The local commerce between Homo
lulu and the island ports for the same
period amounted to 237,727 tons of
freight and 55,44l passengers. The
through commerce passing through
the port between San Francisco and
the Orient and Australia for the same
period was valued at si5.S97.7 1853.
In recommending the harbor i'm.
provements now under way the report
says all this commerce will be directly
benefited by the work, through the
greater safety Of the harbor and the
greater facility in entering and leaving
H. The Improvement may result in
some of the large ships, which do not
call at this port, calling here. II add.
tional steamship lines should be in.
duced to have their ships call here, the
report reads, considerable reduction
in freight rates, which at present are
exceedingly high to and from this port,
might result
With the opening Of the Panama ca,
nal a considerable increase above the
present commerce can be reasonably
expected. The establishing of an ex.
tensiye naval station and Notifications
will still further add to the importance
and prosperity of the port.
Relative to Pearl Harbor the report
says:
AS yet there is no commercial activ-
lty In the harbor. Inside the bar the
channel Is so crooked and the turns so
sharp that 1t is not safe for the nayi-
CATION OF large vessels. No estimate
for remedying this defect has yet been
authorized by Congress. The mean
range Of tides at the entrance is about
, IA inches.
The work, so far as authorized and
appropriated for, has been completed
in accordance with the project. The
head of navigation is at the head Of
each lock forming the harbor. No fur.
ther funds under the existing project
are required. ."

Progressive Ascension Planters.

Mr.. C. J. Mire and Mr.. C. d. Con

Ascension Parish, have demonstrated
in the last tive years what it is posi-
BILE for the ambitious and energetic
cane grower in louisiana to do if he
has the business aeumen to branch out
into other industries. A few years
ago Mr.. Mire invented a cane-loading
machine. He made it at first only for
his own use, but it was proven so sue
cessfully that other planters wanted it.
AS resu,,;. of this demand, NE went
into the business. He has had them
manufactured at Labadie, but he is
now endeavoring to have them manu-
factured in New Orleans in greater
numbers, and he came to New Orleans
to consult some local machine people.
During the last season he sold seventy
FIVE machines, and the demand this sea-
son has been even heavier.
