territory are in a most satisfa ctorv
condition.
The manufacture of sugar, which has
brought such great prosperity to our
ierrltory, still continues to be the domi-
nant product, and will undoubtedly re.
main so, at least for many years to
come, though it IS questionable if the
output Will ever largely exceed the last
crop, either IN quantity or value. Ha-
wan owes much to the men who have
made the sugar industry what it is, for
as direct result Of their work, there
has been continued accumulation of
capital until today Hawaii is in a po-
sItlon to finance any and all home prop
ositlons of merit, and thus bring to the
front other possible industries.
Rice, which has been the second of
our industries, with an annual product
valued at $2,500,000, is giving place TO
pIneapples.
The development of the pineapple in
dustry in Hawaii has been a remark
able one. In 1900, the entire output
amounted to only about 1000 cases,
each containing two dozen cans. For
the season just passed, the output
amounted to $4,000 cases. A vigorous
and well conducted campaign of adver-
Using has established the fact that Ha-
Waiian pineapple is the very best OBJ
tainable, with the result that the de-
mand for this delicious fruit is keeping
pace with the increased output. The
continued success of this industry has
been assured through the efforts of
James d. Dole, who, after some three
years of experimenting, is now able to
successfully bottle the pure juice of the
ripe pineapple. Last years output,
which was simply experimental, amount
ed to 1000 bottles. This season the Ha-
waiian Pineapple Products Company
will have 100000 bottles, and from the
present outlook, it would seem to be
very doubtful if the pineapple fields of
Hawaii, extensive as they are, will be
able to supply the great demand for
this, nature s most delicious and health
full beverage.
Large packers from the mainland
this industry. Some have already ar
ranged to do business here, and others
are planning to do so.
The demand for Hawaiian coffee is
greater than the supply. Plantations
suitably situated and carefully managed
pay satisfactory dividends. The output,
while stationary for several years past,
is again increasing.
Tobacco growing can at last be class
ed as one of Hawaii's industries, ex-
pert treatment in the curing and manu-
featuring of the leaf being now arrang-
ed for The experimental stage is past,
and those who have given careful at
tention TO the matter express the op1n-
ion that the growing of tobacco in Ha-
wall will become great industry.
Sisal continues to do well and the out
put shows a satisfactory increase.
Cotton is again being taken up. The
quality grown is such as to warrant the
belief that several thousand acres will
be planted to this crop within the next
few years. quite large area being al
ready under cultivation on the different
islands.
Hawaii s rubber plantations will soon
be heard from. The first commercial
tapping of several hundred acres of
thrifty trees will take place within the
next few months, and if present prices
for the raw product are maintained, the
industry is certain to prove profitable
one in Hawaii.
Of fruits, the banana offers good
profits The industry is well establish
ed, and as there are several thousand
acres of land suited to bananas, we may
expect to see large yearly increase IN
shipments. which, however, are some
what handicapped by lack of proper
steamship connection with the north
western part of the United States. To
day we are shipping 1000 punches
monthly, but this output can be readily
increased to $4,000 punches or a steamer
load weekly.
Military Matters.
During the year the military forces
have been most active on the Island of
Oahu. Work on several Notifications
has been advanced almost to completion.
The number of troops stationed here has
been increased and preparations are
now being made to care for an addi-
ti0nal force of men.
For the work of dredging Pearl Har-
Dor. and the entrance thereto, the sum
of 81, 100000 has been made available
