P. N. CO. RATES

Information has reached ihis port

This move has been contemplated for
considerable dme past, 10 Is under.
stood. and the other steamship com.
panics have, in measure, been pre-
pared to meet IT, The cut - from
$3.50 per ton to $3.50.
The American Hawaiian steamship
Company has already met the lower
rates, according TO statement issued
by Mr.. Morse. local agent for the
company. yesterday The new stand
ard Of freight rates for this company
will be inaugurated when the charter
cd steamer Plciades leaves San Fran
cisco for this port, March Is.
Whether or not the Oceanic Steam
ship Company will make n cut also
can not be determined until the return
of w. NJ. GifIard, the local agent, and
then he will have TO receive his news
from the head office of the company
in San Francisco Mr. Gitfard is at
present on one of the other Islands,
and he will not return until next Mon
dav morning. Until his return, moth
ing can be learned about the stand the
Oceanic company will take in the
matter.
The Matson Navigation Company,
| through Agent Drew, would make no
statement Yesterday. The freight rate
| cut is considerable, and it was said on
the waterfront yesterday that Matson
would probably make a fight on the
Pacific Mail AS result. 1T was also
said that Matson would not meet the
cut in rates. This will probably be
known definitely tomorrow.
With the cut in freight rates and
the installation of wireless, the Pa
cfic Mail boats will make strong
bid for local favor. The wireless sys.
TENS will undoubtedly be put in the
liners of that company within very
short time.
The American Hawaiian company
has apparently been prepared to meet
every cut of the Pacific Mail in freight
rates for some time past, as Agent
Morse stated yesterday that the new
order of things would begin when the
Plciades sailed from the Golden Gate
city shortly. Whether or not this cut
will be in force on all the boats of
that company he did not say, but an
other steamship authority said that the
Pleades would be the only boat eff
fected and that the cut would not be
permanent.
Should the Matson company make
still lower quotation-which, how
ever, it is hardly probable they will
do-there is every reason to believe
that the Pacific Mail company viii
follow suit.

SEVERE EFFECTS OF

trees are in flower now, and look as if
they were covered with snow. Judg-

shown in coffee in that district at pres,

waiians and Portuguese, are going into
the coffee business, and new houses are
being built all over the district
"The recent storm was one of the
worst they have ever had in Kona. The
sea came up hundreds of feet above
the usual mark, washing over the
trails. One house at an elevation of
twentyfouf feet was almost reached
by the water.

Working of the Bill.

The workings of the proposed bill
were then explained, the point being
dwelt upon that the period of the bill
was short and would lapse of itself
unless reenacted.
Regarding conservation the Govern
or stated that some steps must be
taken to do away with the present sit
uation of all the eggs being carried in
once basket. that of sugar. There
would be $4,000 available to use as
seemed best. How was the matter
to be worked QUIT He referred to tho
good work of the Planters Expert
ment Station, where much important
work was planned, waiting for funds
to carry it on.
The Question of Fodder.
The question of fodder was an i'm
portant question to be taken up, in
order to increase the number of beef
cattle, hogs and sheep in the Terri
tory, these now being largely i'm
ported.
The Governor referred to other
work, including n soil survey, the mat
ter of investigating diseases of pine
apples, etc, all of which would cost
only $4,000 year-a mere pittance.
A photographic survey would cost
$500 to $4,000, an all-important mat
ter. The planters had spent fifteen
million on irrigation.
The question of the Federal govern
ment retaining arid lands was some
thing to be preceded by a hydro
graphic survey on the part of the Ter
ritory, something which would open
much land for settlers.
Opening market facilities for the
small producer was something which
would bring good results at small cost.
A large subject was covered in
three departments of the Bureau of
Agriculture and Forestry, which might
all be supported out Of this fund.
These are questions we can not, with
good sense and justice to the eommu-
nifty, ignore, while the matter of i'm
migration was all important.

: mittee of the planters had been in

that the chickens came to their end
