II have met with a very favorable
reception In your business community"
said w. A. Mears, special representa-

to and have listened to them with a
great deal OF interest and am piling up
data which our business men in Port

Mr.. Mears has also been visited by
several Honolulu men and he has put
them in the way of establishing re-
ciprocal trade relations. One man who
has koa, or Hawaiian mahogany. to
dispose" of, learned that in Portland
there are three big furniture manu-
featuring concerns and branch Of the
largest furniture factory in the United
states is there. Portland disposes
of tremendous lot of furniture every
year, San Francisco. from which place
furniture is shipped to Honolulu, being
one OF its best customers. There is
one opportunity opened up to island
products.
Then pineapple man was put in the
way of working UP considerable busi-

find a market and ready one there.
These are but samples of the way Mr..

HONOLULU'S
ATMOSPHERE

Away out two thousand miles and
more In the wet, Honolulu may be pre-
sumed by people on the mainland to be

however, be acknowledged to be a
thousand miles of whenever and
wherever the official figures OF Uncle
Sans meteorological caretakers are ex-
hibited.
Instead of being especially humid
the normal atmosphere of Honolulu is
particularly and conspicuously dry, not
as compared with ordinarily humid
climates but with many widely separat-
ed places in the arid regions of the
mainland.
VIM. b. Stockman station director OF
the Honolulu office of the u. s. Wealth

from the annual averages of consider

recognized many places noted for dry

well-known health resorts such as

THE question of water is solved also.
We will cultivate cane by rainfall. We
have an average rainfall of about 15O
inches a year, we'll distributed. Then
| there Is a lake of about 1000 acres IN
extent right in The center of the prop
erty. Besides we are right on a river
and have sixteen miles of the plan

is navigable for eight months of the
year. 1t Is a trip of 115 miles by the
river to CoatZacoalcos on the Atlantic
coast. The mill will be located about
eight miles off the line Of the Tehuan-
tepec railway and within a year we
will put in switch to connect with
the main road.
THE Honolulu Iron Works are our
consulting engineers. The mill pro-
posed for our plantation is of the g.
roller kind, something like that at
Olaa, and arranged so that 1t can be
enlarged, IL necessary. We will take
off about 900 or 500 tons of cane this
year and will make alcohol from 1t. in
stead of sugar. The first crop of sugar
will be taken off in January. 1908, from
about 1000 acres. We will not need the
mill for about year. Therefore, we can
afford to see what the freight rate will
be before the mill Is ordered built in
Honolulu or elsewhere.
I'VE have not made use of steam
plows yet, owing to the lack of roads
to get them to the plantation, but they

A SURVIVOR
OF PORT ARTHUR

DIR. Hubbenet, head surgeon at Port

gates to the Red Cross Convention now

with member of the local press,
stated:
No fewer than $4,000 out of the 49,
900 besieged men were wounded, some
of the officers being struck seven and
eight times. The death roll reached
1000. There were twelve hospitals and
one hospital ship, all of which were
congested almost from the first days
of the siege. The speaker rendered
high tribute to the scrupulous manner
in which the Japanese invariably re-
spected the Red Cross flag. During
the latter month of the siege. prices

Before n motion to file was put, Mr..
Spalding asked if the report had been
audited. and was informed that the
chairman of the Finance Committee
had audited the books and certified to
their correctness; there was slight
error in the typewriter statement that
would be corrected. The error was a
transposition OF figures and was cor

Mr.. Spencer at this point presented
his resignation as secretary and treas
urer owing TO his retirement from

was read by Mr.. Spencer which seem

and on motion of Mr.. Morgan the
resignation was accepted and filed. Mr..

Whether or not IA n!ne-roller sugar
mill will be built by the Honolulu Iron
Works in this city, or built in the East

rerts, to be shipped to the .Tabasco

by Manager Hedemann of the iron
works, but is one which deeply con-

Investigation of the various sugar mills
on all the islands and studying cane
cultivation Mr.. Davis is stopping at
the MOana Hotel.
The whole question of the building
OF the mill here or elsewhere depends
upon freight rates. The Tehuantepec
Railway will be completed and opened
for traffic in January. The Atlantic
equipment Of docks, railway sidings,
warehouses, etc, will be in readiness
to handle freight and the American
Hawaiian line of steamships will then
make direct connections with the ter
minals. In the Pacific the freighters
will ply between San Francisco, Ha-
wall and Salina Cruz, the western ter
minus. Machinery made in Honolulu
can easily be loaded onto the freq snters
and shipped direct to that port, loaded
thence upon cars and transported to
the Tabasco plantation, eighty miles
from the coast and but eight miles off
the railway line. When this line is es-
ltablished the Honolulu Iron Works
will be in possession OF all the data
necessary to figure on the building of
the mill.

GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN SPEAKS.
Mr.. Morgan stated that the secretary
to the delegate at Washington was
present and he might be called upon
to speak of the conditions. The secre-
tary replied he was present by courtesy
of the president and had little to say.
He and the delegate had worked during
the session with the accredited repre-
sentative of the Chamber. Mr.. Hatch
has done particularly creditable work
considering his hurried departure from
Honolulu to reach his post. In saying
this, Mr.. Mcclellan said he was simply
repeating the words of the delegate In
that respect. He said he believed dis
patching the delegation to Washington
was one of the best things that had
been done by the business men and
while they had not accomplished the
main business of their mission,
they had put it in the way of
passage and the work of the delegation
Is bearing fruit. The needs of Hawaii
have been brought to the attention of
Congress through that commission and
much good would result
The chair appointed Messrs. ]. A.
McCandless and e. I. Spalding, rep
resentatives of the Chamber on the
Promotion Committee. Many pleasant
comments We're made on the selection
and the gentlemen responded thanking
the chair for the honor. Mr.. Spalding
said he had come to the meeting with
the intention of withdrawing but the
remarks made by the chair and the
members had taken the ground COM
p!etely from under him, Mr.. McCandless
also responded and after thanking the
Chamber paid his respects to Mr..
Spalding for the assistance he had rem
dered as member of the committee.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned.

TOO NARROW LINES.
If / may be allowed a criticism on
our association it is that IL is run
on top narrow lines. When matters
are brought up there has been ten
dency on the part of some to ask "is
that commercial question: and If
not, to turn it down. In doing this /
believe we are missing large oppor-
tunities for service to our city. A
body of this kind, non-political and
representing the largest commercial in
terests of the community is in posi-
tion to exert a powerful influence in
all public matters as well as in those
which pertain more specially to busi-
ness affairs. The coming session of
the Legislature will soon present one
opportunity for practical work. Refer
ence to the unsatisfactory working of
liquor and tax laws will suggest IL
lustration of lines which may well be
considered. 1t is true that the broader
lines would require more attention and
take more time on the part of our
officers, but / believe this body should
seek to advance the welfare of this
city in particular and the Territory as
whole to greater degree in the
future than it has done in the past.
This should be done on constructive
lines in !naugurating improvements as
well as in exercising a watchful care
that nothing detrimental is allowed.
Proper representatives of the Chamber
should be in close touch with those in
charge of county affairs, and also with
territorial and Federal officers and our
experience has shown that in all cases
such men are willing to meet us fully
halfway. The opportunity to mate
rally assist in moulding public senti-
ment in the interests of civic right
eousness should be used to the utmost.
i thank you all for your support and
assistance during the year, and hope
that under the new officers now to be
elected that year of greater useful
ness may be before us.
