The Shamrock.

In Ireland only one shamrock is
known. 1t is an indigenous species OF
clover which trails along the ground
among the grass in meadows. The tre-
fold leaves are not more than one
fourth the size Of the smallest clover
usually seen in America and are pure
green in color, without any Of the
brown shading Of white and pink clio
vers. The creeping stem Is hard anG
fbrous and difficult to dislodge from
the earth. On St Patrick's day the
true shamrock has to be searched out
among the grass, for, though compare
lively plentiful at that season, it
grows close TO the ground. Later It
bears a tiny white crown" blossom.
The information that shamrakh Is the
Arabic word for trefold may be Of
service to those interested In the origin
Of the Irish race.

BOW LING.

Judging from the crowds present
aud the continuous sounds of bowling
heard at the new alleys on East Nah
oning street, it does not seem that the
sport of bowling will suffer for the
want of votaries in DanVille. The re-
suits that have followed the opening
are in all respects gratifying to the
propIletors.

| Hon. George r. Carter, Governor:
Sir: The Commission appointed by
you under Joint Resolution passed by
the Hawaiian Legislature in special
session in 1904, to investigate and re-
port at the next regular session of the
Legislature a plan for the reorganiZa-
ton of the Territorial ystem of ac-
counts, respectfully submits its report:
In order to get definite idea of the
| receipts and expenditures of the Ter
ritory, as related TO taxation division.
your Commission secured from the
Auditors office a full statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures for period OF
IL months-from July l, 1903, to June
80, 1904-showing sources of revenue
and location of expenditures.
With the kindly assistance of yourself
and the Auditor, these receipts and ex-
penditures have been segregated under
five general headings, as follows:
Territorial, First District, Second
District, Third District, Fourth Dis
trict
Under the heading of Territorial
we have placed all receipts and expen-
ditures of general character which
We're not directly applicable to any one
of the taxation divisions.
Under the heading of First District"
we have placed all receipts and expen-
ditures of the Island of Oahu not gem
eraI in character
Under the heading of Second Dis
trict'' we have placed IL receipts and
expenditures of the Islands IF Mani,
Molokai and Lanai, not genera; n char
acter.
Under the heading of Third District"
we have placed all receipts and expen-
ditures of the Island of Hawaii, not
general in character.
Under the heading Fourth District"
we have placed all receipts and expendi
lures of the Islands of Kauai and Nil
hau, not general in character.
From the statements furnished by the
Auditor, the Commissioners found that
during the period covered (July 1, 1903,
to June so, 1904 the total income of
the Territory was 81, AS, 1868, from the
respective divisions, as follows:
Territorial. 1916, OS2.46, or 26.75 per cent
of total; First District, S1,01S. 305.0S. or
42I6 per cent of total; Second District,
$2G5. O79. 6S. or $40 per cent of total;
Third District, 1881, OS7.53, or 1903 per
cent of total: Fourth District, $685.,
7S1.5s, or 6.57 per cent of total. Total,
81. AIS, 1868.
The expenditures for the same period
were:
Territorial, 1881, 2SS.12. or 57.19 per
cent of income; First District $780,,
S4O.14, or 34.40 per cent of income; Sec

of the Territorial deficit, will show to
the credit of the district.
To arrive at a working basis. your
Commissioners have assumed that the
total income from all sources during the
two years to begin July 1st. 1905. and
end June 80, 1907, will amount in round
numbers to $4.s00 90: and using the
percentages shown in the income table
for the II months hereinbefore review
ed, this $4,000 10000 should come in the
following PROPORTIONS:

Your Commission believes it would be
a good idea to have district funds es-
tablished on some such equitable basis
as will be suggested by the foregoing
tables, and we respectfully recommend
that an effort be made to have the Ter
ritorial Legislature now in session en-
act necessary laws to have such effect.
This being DONE we would further re-
spectfully suggest that the excellent
system of accounting now in use in the
Auditors office might be made to cover
the requirements of the new conditions
thus created by the adoption of a gem
eral cash book with columns for the
respective funds, and the opening of
separate ledgers for the funds so Gre
ated,
We would also further recommend
that as far as practicable the bookkeeP-
ing for all the governmental depart
ments be done in the Auditors office,
and that all government dues be made
payable into the Treasurer's office d.
rect instead of through several de-
partmentaI offices, as at present.
