when you have the facilities you can
see whole lot better and when you
have the facilities for carrying on a
grocery business, you can see where
your business is coming from and
how it is growing, because you have

GOVERNOR'S
REPORT On WAY
Left for Washington in the
korea's Mail on
Monday.

Governor Frear s annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior was sent to
Washington in the mail that went by
the Korea early Monday morning. The
report consists of 12S pages of type
written matter and is illustrated with
several maps, one showing the propos,
ed improvements for Honolulu harbor
and another showing the present situa-
ton at Kahului harbor with its break.
water. There is also a picture of the
new High School and other illustra-
tions.
The report is probably one of the
most carefully prepared reports that
ever went to Washington. Governor
Frear has spared himself no pains or
labor to make the information on the
subjects he treats both accurate and
complete. On every subject he has
gone to original sources for his inform
alton and has exhaustively studied each
subject. While there are a number of
statistical tables, the report is not load
ed down with them, and each table
shows some subject in completeness.
The statistics as rule, are for each
of the years since the organization of
the Territory, and thus afford material
for comparison in the matter of the
growth or progress of the Territory.
These viii also make comparisons In
future reports easy provided the future
reports cover the same subject
