and that other landings will be added to the
route She is a twin screw, light draft, and
said to be faster than the Pemaquid, and
with additional landings it would take
faster boat to make the schedule time. The
Pemaquid has done good service ON this
route and boat and officers are popular with
the travelling public The Quaker City
was built for an excursion boat and many
changes will be necessary to fit her for pas
senger traffic. The after part of the steam

room, toilet rooms and dressing rooms for
ladies will be put in here. Farther forward
will be the lower saloon with seats elegant
ly finished in plush. There will also be a
dining room where lunches will be served
to passengers. The f0recastle will be built

The Penobscot arrived at Rockland from

FORMER FIRE EZE-UPS. In answer to
many enquiries we have consulted the files
of The journal for data as to the close of
navi CATION here in 1875. The Katahdin
was frozen in here Jan. 25th of that year
and the ice went out April 18th. Last year
the bay closed Feb. 7th and opened to navi-
cation April Sd, a period of 81 days. The
following data from Williamson's History
of Belfast may be of interest at this time.
The winter of 1850 was particularly severe.
Travellers passed on foot across PenObscOt
Bay over the ice. 1918, Feb. Is. The bay
was frozen to Castine, and people crossed

CHANGES PLANNED IN
GUAM GOVERNMENT

AGANA, Guam, July 90, via San
Francisco, Aug. ia board appointed
by the governor, consisting of Lieuten-
ant r. S. Douglas as chairman, G. d.
Lehmauk, executive secretary, and the
Rev. Padrejose Palomo, has been in
session during the greater part of the
month, having under advisement the
financial condition of the island, the
salaries of insular officials, and the de-
sirable changes to be instituted in the
administration of island affairs.
A number of changes under the rec
ommendation of this board, it is con-
templated, will soon be put into effect,
among others the disbanding of the in
sular artillery, now the only police in
the island, and the substitution there
for of a suitable constabulary, reforma-
ton of the courts of the island where
by the supreme court becomes the
court Of appeals, and is brought as
near to the jury system as the circum-
stances attending will permit, reforma-
ton of the prison laws and of public
work performed by the prisoners;
changes in the accountability system
of the treasury, and the extension Of
the government apprentice and train
ing system.
On the third of July telephone COM
munication was opened through from
Agana to Suma, connecting the gov
eminent Office with the cable station.
1t is now proposed to hasten connection
with the more remote and inaccessible
districts of Agat, Merizo and Inerajav.
A strenuous effort is also being made
to extend the roads of the island to the
outlying districts. Good progress has
been made during the past year, and a
small sum of money provided by con
gress became available on the first day
of July which will permit further ex
| tension in the immediate future
Wherever these roads have been opened
up during the past year a large area
has been cleared and put under cult
walton. The main backstay in the past
have been lack of transportation facili
| ties.
The installation of wireless teleg
raphy has progressed rapidly during
the past month, under the direction o.
Lieutenant George G. Sweet and ;
corps of electricians who were sent on
with the necessary material in tn
Solace.
The Norwegian steamer Norge, ladel
with barley and -four, has cleared from
Tsin Tua. There is rumor that he
cargo is intended for the Russians il
Manchuria.
An artificial boat channel is in prog
ress of construction between the harbo
of Apia and Peti, and is nearing CON
pletion.
On July 6, the construction of
causeway from the mainland to tn
Island of Cabras, on which the GOV
eminent coal pit is situated. will b
begun. This will vastly facilitate tn
convenience of supplying coal both
ships and the naval station when con
I pleted.

Lieut.. Slattery recommended that the
contract be given the San Francisco
Bridge Company after the bids were
opened. He has advised the company
that it is quite likely the Washington
authorities will confirm his recommen-

THE BANANA
DIFFICULTY

HILO. August 25.-There are two
things essential to success in the ba-
mana industry In Hawaii: a fruit
steamer, one that is fitted up for carry
ing fruits; and a square deal at the
Coast or the last shipment Il is re-
ported 1000 punches of bananas were
cooked by being packed so closely in
the hold of the steamer that ventilation
was cut Off or the pines shipped one
man lost two hundred of the largest
yet received at San Francisco from
Hilo for the same reason. As matter
of fact. the Enterprise was not design
I'D for a fruit carrying steamer and is
unsuited for It. One shipper siys that
the prices received for the uncooked
fruit arriving from Hilo were entire.y
satisfactory, better than was expected
And well they should be. With the
fever i'm New Orleans came a quaran-
tine against Central American ports
and consequently fruit shipments from
Bluefields were discontinued and the
demand in San Francisco was about
the same Notwithstanding the fact that
the California fruit season was at its
height. That the growers in Olaa are
to give UP cultivating bananas Is to
be regretted. for once out they may
Tot be expected to return to that In
dustry. 1t has been suggested that a
tariff be put upon fruits so that the
grower on United states territory
would have a chance with the one in
Central America where labor and other
conditions are more favorable. But
with the lobby OF the United Fruit Co
in Washington tariff as applied to
fruits would have no consideration
