shows profit of $571 1854. Bond
and other interests, $125,779.99; bal
ance, $445,S5S.S5; dividends of nine
per cent. were paid on the capital stock
of $4,OO0,OO0, amounting to 100000;
leaving to the credit of net revenue
$S5,SS5.35. The construction of the

freight earnings for the year ending
Juno 30, 1907, were 1869, 1918, while

were 1886, 1921, or an increase of
$1l6,35S.99. The average receipts per
ton per mile of road, comparing the
same periods, show that while the gross

was handled at less cost per ton to the
shipper. The passenger earnings for
the year are less by $4941 80.

A New Mill for Kona.
A contract was entered into the past
week with the Honolulu Iron Works
| for new nine-roller mill for Kona.

| The Hamakua Ditch.
]. It. McCrosson and Fred Lewis re-
turned on Friday by the Alameda from
an absence of several months in Eu-
rope. They report that with Colonel
Macfarlane they believe they have
floated 100000 of the bond issue for
the construction of the lower Hamakua
ditch, through Kootz & Co., bankers,
London. Something new in floating
bonds is the insuring of these bonds by
the Norwich Mutual Life Insurance
Company at a premium which makes it
cheaper than the creation of a sinking
fund. AS soon as the deal is finally
closed work win begin at once.
II is part of the project to de-
velop water power in the Waipio Gulch
and by means of it manufacture nitro
gen from the air for use in the manu-
facture of fertilizer. Mr.. Lewis and
Mr.. McCrosson studied the processes of
this new industry while they were in
Germany. The importation of nitrates
to Hawaii for use in the manufacture
of fertilizer amounts to about half a
million dollars year.
