ormal all week, the weather during
the latter half of the week being the
coolest, thus FAR, during the present
winter season. There has. been no rain
ofaimportance except in the WindWard
districts of Hawaii and along the
northeast slope OF Haleakala, in Maui
High winds are reported in the Ailo
district of Hawaii, the Hula district
of Maui, and the Honolulu district of
Oahu. causing some slight damage to
cane, plant rice and young garden tops.

Both the 1905 and 1906 crops of cane
are reported generally as in good con-
ditfon the 1905 crop ripening slowly,
end grinding having commenced at
nearly all of the mills. The prepara-
ton of land for the first rice crop of 1905
continues apace and considerable
quantity of seed rice has been sown
The coffee crop is about harvested and
although of Il good quality the yield
is below the normal. The winter crop
of pineapples is ripening very slowly
under the adverse temperature condt-
lions. Pasture lands generally are i'll
