Following is an abstract of Gov. Car
jter's annual report:
The greatest change of the year has
Sbeen brought about through the pass
age by the last Legislature of a county
act, by which there has been a subdi-
vision Of various functions of the gov
ernment through the establishment OF
a county system. The Territory is di-
vided into five counties. but the pow
ers granted are not so wide or so COM
plete as those usually existing on the
mainland. The measure. in way, was
experimental, not carrying with it the
power Of taxation, so that for the pres
ent the situation is unique in that the
work undertaken by these counties is
provided for by allotment of what has
heI etofore been Territorial income.
The Territory's finances are in excel
lent condition, and the great reduction
made in expenditures during the special
session of the Legislature in 1904 is now
being appreciated.
The fiscal year ended June 80, 1905,
shows a most favorable balance, and
for the second time since annexation
the expenditures have been kept with
in the income. Another very important
developed of overdrawing or exceeding
appropriations made by the Legislature
has been checked; this, it is stated, is
due to good judgment displayed by the
Legislature and better methods adopted
by heads of departments.
The assessed value of taxable prop
erty on January 1, 1904, was 1923 1895, ,504.
divided as follows: Real estate, $63,-
516,S79: personal property, $50, ,3S1 ,525,
while the assessable value of the prop
erty on January 1, 1905, was, real es-
tate, S67 500, ,036, personal property, $685.
415064, aggregating $133, ,924, 100, show
ing an increase over the previous year
of so, OPS, ,596 The total revenues of the
Territory, including cash balance on
July l. 1894 of $56.613 30, aggregated 81
Ali, 1861 on the 30th of June, 1905. The
total disbursements during that period
amounted to $2,9SS. .05710. leaving a net
current indebtedness July 1, 1905, of
$516, ,630.79.
During the twelve months covered by
the report it is stated that the cur
rent receipts of the Territory have eX-
ceeded the obligations incurred during
that period by S6,S499 81 and, figuring on
a conservative basis that the floating
indebtedness of S576, ,63O.79 outstanding
at the close of the aforementioned
period viii all be paid during the pres
ent year. it is believed that on June
80 1906. there Will be a cash balance in
the trea sury.
In this connection, the Governor
states it is but just to Hawaii to point
out that since annexation the contrl-
buttons made by this Territory to the
Federal Government from customs rev.
enues alone have amounted to S6,059,-
17151. This is more than half as much

again as the entire debt of the Repub-
lie of Hawaii which the United States
assumed at that time. Considering
that the area of the Territory is only
6640 square miles, occupied by $4,000
people, it is difficult to realize how Ha-
waii has been able to stand such a
strain upon it's resources. Under these
circumstances the people urge their
claims for liberal appropriations for
public buildings, improvement of har-
bors, and for lighthouses as being just.
Any improvements requested in the in
terest of harbors and lighthouses are
for the benefit of the American navy
and American commerce as much as
for the islands, which are becoming
more and more an important factor in
the growing development of trans-Pa-
cific trade.
The bonded Indebtedness of the Ter
ritory on June 80, 1904, was 81, ,1S5, ,O00
During the past year this was further
increased by the sale of one thousand
4 1-2 per cent. $1,000 bonds, at premium
of one-tenth of l per cent. and decreas-
ed by the payment of 5 per cent. bonds,
amounting to $4,000, thus making
total of the bonded Indebtedness of the
Territory of s3,137,0 900, an amount not

property of the Territory.
Under the legislative power provided
by section 55 of the organic act, no
debt of the Territory can be author
lied except to pay the interest upon
the existing Indebtedness, to suppress
insurrection, or to provide for the COM
mon defense, except that, in addition to
any indebtedness created for such pur-
poses, the Legislature may authorize
loans by the Territory for the erection
of penal, charitable, and educational
institutions, and for public buildings,
wharfs, roads, harbors, and other pub
lie improvements. The total of such
Indebtedness is restricted to per cent.
of the assessed value of the taxable
property, and for such loans no bond
or other instrument of any such in
debtedness can be issued unless made
redeemable in not more than five years
and payable in not more than fifteen
years from the date of the issue there
of; nor shall any such bond or in
debtedness be incurred until approved
by the President of the United States.
The limitation as to the length of
time for which bonds can be issued has,
the Governor states, greatly hampered
the Territory. One class of investors
does not desire a bond of SO short
term as fifteen years, and there al
ways will be considerable expense to
the Territory in making provision to
refund it's Indebtedness. On the other
hand, another class of investors prefers
a bond where sinking fund is estab-
lished for the redemption of certain
percentage every year. To meet such,
the more modern system is to issue
bond redeemable any time after one

to the place where he committed sui
eide.
Since the middle of November Ram
say has been employed by p. c. Buz-
zell, the Honolulu agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine Company. Mr.. Buzzen
installed Ramsay in the Wailuku
agency, but according to his employer,
he has done very little business.
Il don't think he has tried to work
very hard said Mr.. Buzzell yesterday
when informed of the tragedy. Il was
over there about three weeks ago and
Ramsay was very respondent. While
was there he tried to commit suicide.
He drank heavily one night and then
wandered to the beach at Kahului and
laid down on the sand and waited for
the tide to rise and carry him out to
sea. 1 followed him. brought him to,
and got him back to town safe again"
An Elk brother said yesterday after
noon that he met Ramsay recently in
Wailuku and found him quite despond-
ent. He wanted to drink, but his
friend told him to "cut it out, as he
(Ramsay) was on Maui on probation
and ought to brace up"
About that time Mrs. Ramsay joined
her husband, and she will probably re-
turn with the body today
Mr.. Ramsay for many years was as
sociated with Hart & Co, or the Elite
Ice Cream Parlors, as the business was
more generally known. He and Charles
Ludwigsen built up the business and
both made it prosper while the store
was located where Millers restaurant
now is. After the removal to the Elite
building. the business Stacked and less
than a year ago. in the reorganization
of the company, Mr.. Ramsay was drop
ped out. He went then to the New
England Bakery. but was there only a
couple of months. Later he took charge
of the Perfection Home Bakery, but III
luck followed him and he did not re-
main there long. At one time he start
ed for Vancouver, but friends decided
otherwise for him and he remained
here.
He has had many troubles besides
financial ones. Mr.. Ramsay was about
81 years of age. He leaves widow and
little daughter.

MAINE MUSIC FESTIVAL.

At Bangor Oct. D, q and "A Galaxy
of Artists Eames the Star.
The great musical event of the year-the
Maine music festivals only two weeks
sway-at Bangor, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, Oct. 5, 8 and Z, and at Portland
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct, 8,
10 and IL.
This is the ninth season, and the indi-
cations are that in point of in 7rest and
enthusiasm this years festival will sur
pass all its brilliant predecessors. The
bright particular star this year is Mime
Emma Eames, of worldwide fame, who
will sing at the concert on Saturday even
ing. Columns might be filed with the
story OF her life and wonderful achieve
ments in the musical world but the thing
is to hear her-and the opportunity is to
be afforded.
Although Evan Williams has not been
here since the first festivRl-in 1s97-the
memory of his magnificent presence and
glorious tenor voice still fingers, and his
coming is hailed with delight.
The other soloists, while new to Maine
are not unknown TO fame; each has an es-
tablished reputation, and will no doubt
receive the usual Maine welcome.
The oratsrio night is Friday, when
Haydn's Creation" will be sung, with
Madame Rider-Kelsey, soprano, George
c. Carrie, tenor, Frank Croxton, bass.
On Saturday evening with Nine. Eames
will appear signor Salvatore Nunziato, the
famous Italian tenor.

will be larger and better than ever. Mr..

as usual, be present to lend her invaluable
aid in the thousand and one ways that
have so endesred her to everybody.

smaller number of singers than heretofore.
Information concerning course or single

State Highway Commissioner Paul
D. Sargent is sending out to municipal
officers and road commissioners OF
the State some timely hints as to the
care of highways to prevent destruc-
tive work OF fall rains. One sugges-
ton is that road commissioners ar
range with several trustworthy men
in various sections of the town, to pa
troll given length of road each time
a severe rainstorm is in progress dur
ing the fall, his special care being to
remove from bitches and culverts all
distractions to free flow Of water,
and to turn water from the road into
the bitches wherever it is seen. He
should also see that water is turned
out of the bitches and away from the
road at every opportunity. Ellsworth
and some other towns of the county
are already doing this, with good re
suits. 1t is a practical application of
the old adage, "a stitch in time saves
