PLAN AND ESTIMATE OF COST OF
IMPROVEMENT

Honolulu, Hawaii, December 49, 1904.
General Complying with your cable
gram of this date, 1 have the honor to
submit the following report on the pro-
posed Improvement of Honolulu Har-
Dor:
/. The harbor consists of an inner
basin, formed and perfectly sheltered
by coral reef, through which there
is a narrow channel leading into the
inner basin and approximately at right
angles to it.
2. Considerable work has been done
from time to time by former govern
ments of Hawaii. so that now the en-
trance channel has a depth of from
80 to So feet for a width of 200 feet,
and the inner basin a depth of from
25 to 80 feet for a width of about 500
feet. While the harbor thus formed
was large enough to accommodate ships
formerly frequenting this port, it is Al
together inadequate for the larger
ships of today. With the constant
tendency to still larger ships it Will
become still more inadequate, and I'M
less a considerable enlargement is an
dertaken it seems probable that the
large ships will cease calling at this
port, due to the inconvenience and the
risk of entering, thereby depriving the
port of valuable business. The new
est ships on the Pacific. the Mongolia
and the Manchuria. are unable to en-
ter the harbor when at all heavily
laden, but are compelled to lay out
side the harbor entrance. All ocean
liners have considerable difficulty in
turning around upon leaving their
Wharves.
Annnn1n1 baro+n &c q
furnished by the Honolulu Chamber If
Commerce of the foreign commerce OF
this port, and also a list of the vessels
which called at the port during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1904. To
the commerce there set forth is to he
added the local commerce between Ho-
nolulu and the other islands of the
group. From information furnished by
the local steamship companies this
commerce for the past year is estimat-
ed to have amounted to 321. PA tons of
freight and 60.52S passengers. This
would make the total commerce for
the past year amount TO 545.895 tons Of
rc'ght, valued at approximately $3S =
COO 600. and 1871 passengers. In al
clifton TO this the great commerce pass
ing through this port between the Unit
ed States and the Orient and Australia
would also be directly benefited ~
the improvement of the harbor, and
should therefore be considered as a
| portion of the commerce to he benefit
| ed by the proposed Improvement.

harbor. While there is ample depth
of water, the channel is SO crooked
and the turns SO sharp that its navi-

size. No examination for remedying

The Graduates.

(From the Chicago Tribune)
Henry has decided as to graduation
day;
He will show how past events our flu
ture actions sway;
He will speak of how the world goes
ever on and on.
Steered across the sea of time by hap
penings agone.
Mary's undecided-says she can't
make up her mind
If her graduation waist should or
should not be lined.
Henry doesn't waver; he will take his
stand and show
How and why and where and when
the nations ought to go.
He has solved the problems that con-
front the human race:
He will tell us all about the troubles
we must face.
Mary's hesitating-she is trying hard
to plan
Cuffs and belt and collar that will
match her filmy fan.
Henry knows where Congress made it's
serious mistakes;
Henry shows where diplomats have
made their grayest breaks;
He is satisfied with what conclusion
he has reached
Shows us how to keep the ship of
State from being beached.
Mary still is worried--She'll decide,
then she'll annul:
First she wants an organdie, then she
wants a null.

Mary finds new problems in each

Henry knows precisely how the coun-

Dogs, Cats and Public Comfort.

Every dog has his day, and now the time
has come when every dog, to have a day
of unthrcatened life, must wear tag. For
the order has been issued that the catch
ers" go forth with nets and wagon to cap
ture all strays. the unconsidered trifies of
the canine world, the hoboes of dogdom,
the orphans, the pets of those too poor to
pay 81 A year for the privilege of enjoying
dog comradeship or too lazy to journey to
the District building and procure the nee
essary license.
These annual rounds are essential to
good order and public comfort. Were it
not for them there would be an unbear-
able surplus of dogs. a western imitation
of Constantinople. Washington is a spot
well favored by nature for the increase Of
the dog census. There are many hooks
and corners for them to find shelter, and it
is a city of generous impulses and kindly
spirit. If there were no stern law and
sterner opponents Of the law the town
would soon be aswarm with mongrels Of
all grades of respectability.
As the years pass and the benefits of a
strict watch over the dogs are appreciated
by the community the belief grows that
he cats should be similarly treated. Cats
are as great nuisance as dogs; perhaps

Roger @. Mills.

An admirer of Roger Q. Mills of Texas
proposes him for governor. Mr. Mills re-
tired from politics in 1899, after twenty
five years of service in Congress, and since
then has prospered in business. If he can
be persuaded to take Office again. and
Texas desires his talents where they
would do the most good, why not return
to the House? The governorship is hardly
In Mr. Mills line The atmosphere is slow
and humdrum. Mr.. Mills is of an eager ac-
tive temperament. He likes to be around
where things humming, and to help
make them hum The House when he was
there suited him, and he suited it. He was
hardly so much at home in the Senate
though he served there with credit. Let
Mr.. Mills return to his first love- and show
the country that at seventy-three he is
still a good man for debate and honest
one in the performance of public duty. He
has always been an honor to his people.
