GENERAL REMARKS.

While the gross earnings. for 1907
show an increase over 1906 of s34.0 81,
the net earnings show a decrease of
s26,921.79. This is accounted for by the
fact that an unusually large amount
of work and materials were expended
in repairs and improvements to road
bed and track, renewal and repairs on
rolling stock and matchmaking wagon
roads around the Honolulu termina! to
warehouses and wharves, resulting in
materially raising the standard of the
railway system and the efficiency in
the operating departments.
FUTURE PROSPECTS.
The prospects for fair increas, of
business for the year 1908 are good.
There will be an increase of. several
thousand tons in sugar and fruit for
transportation. The waianae Lime

One of the oldest residents of Ho-
nolulu, Mrs. William C. Roe, passed

INTERESTING SERVICES
FOR THE PRISONERS

The service at the prison yesterday
was in charge of c. =. Day, who was
assisted by Miss Florence Yarrow and
John NJ. Martin.
Miss Yarrow's account of her expert
ences as a Sabbath school organizer
in rural districts of the mainland made
deep impression on the men. The
hardships and prosecutions she had to
endure in this work came as a revela-
tion to most of them, proving that
heroism of high order is called for
in those carrying the message Of the
weak and lowly Nazarene, even in our
own land.
Mrs. and Miss Skinner of Toronto,
Canada, who have been visiting the
islands, were interested listeners and
were much impressed by the good work
being done for the prisoners by Mr..
Martin and his helpers, under the aus
pieces of the Young Mems Christian
Association.
At the close of the service Miss
Skinner spoke few words of cheer to
the inmates, saying she would bear
them in mind, even when she returned
to her home in Canada.

FLOATING DEBI.
Since the issue of bonds in 1897 to
the amount of 100000 to refund OBJ
legations then existing, your company
has expended for permanent improve
ments: Wharves, warehouses, water
front property in fee, branch roads,
new rolling stock, ETC., 1910, 377.S7, thus
increasing the total value of it's prop
erty about 1000, 900 without increasing
its bonded debt. The obligations thus
incurred from year to year have been
represented as a floating debt, and the
surplus earnings during the past ten
years have been applied to the liqui-
dation of the same, leaving a ball
ance on December 81, 1907, as shown
above.
We consider that this method of
financing has been more favorable to
the interests Of the stockholders than to
have increased the issue of bonds in
1897 to s3.O00,o0O. The practical result
has been the same as if we had issued
SO, 100000 in bonds in 1897 and redeemed,
through sinking fund during the first
ten years, % 1-2 per cent, or $685., 200,
of such issue, which would have left
outstanding December 81, 1907, $2,145,-
900 bonds. the amount of the present
bonded and floating debt.
1t may be of interest in this connec-
ton to note that the net earnings dur
1907, have been s2,965, 300. 81, and the
amount of dividends paid were 1884,
932. 90.
