Travel.
Travel to Hawaii has shown a notice

lines of business have felt the change.
As one merchant expressed it. "We no

a record breaking travel for the coming

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-
tional force of men.
For the work of dredging Pearl Har-
Dor, and the entrance thereto, the sum
of s., 500 600 has been made available
out of an appropriation OF S3,29b, 0OO.
For the great drydock $l,500,000 IS
available out of the appropriation OF
s.. 304 600. About One-third of the
amounts appropriated have been spent,
the work is being actively prosecuted,
ana il is believed Will be fully complet-
ed by January l, 1912. At one time
it was feared that the appropriation for
the drydock would be curtailed, but due
appreciation by our friends at Washing
ton of the actual need of a dock, as orig
inallv planned, has resulted in the larger
plans being finally adopted.
Quite a settlement has sprung up near
the scene of activity on the shores of
Pearl Harbor, and one of the pressing
needs today is a better road from Ho-
nolulu to this point, and | would sug-
gest that the chamber of commerce
make a special effort to bring this
about as soon as possible.
The increase IN the army payroll has
benefited our retail merchants material
", while our wholesale merchants have
had the privilege of bidding for a por-
ton Of the general army and navy sup
plies, which they are able to furnish at
satisfactory prices.
Steamships.
The improvements in steamship com.
munication with the mainland during
the year has been marked.
The enterprise Of the Matson Naviga-
ton Company in building the splendid
steamship WilheImjna. the largest
steamship constructed in the United
States during the past year, ana put

now that the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany has replaced the reliable old Ala

much better able to take care OF the
rapidly increasing passenger traffic.
