The time of the west bound train on
the Burlington has been changed so
that it is now due to arrive at 9:45 in
the morning. The time of the train
east remains the same. We under
stand that the trains now meet at Sligo
The earlier time is probably to give the
up train ample time to reach the end of
the run before dark during the cold
and snowy weather.

Bob Murphy says he is no mind read
er and that if they want him to take
pork to Stoneham, they should tell him
so in customary language, as he is not
up on sign language or anything but
Irish and English. Bob says they are
trying to saddle the blunders of other
people on him and that when he goes
any place he looks in all directions all
the time.

HAWAII'S VEHICLE
BILL 100000

Hawaii will have a record, when the
returns are in from Washington, of
round million dolars-a little more or
little less-for vehicles and their
parts imported from the United States
mainland during the year ended June

with May the total imports of cars,
carriages, etc, amounted to 1911, 215,
against $S76,642 for the corresponding
period ended in 1910, an increase OF
S34,573.
Much the greater portion of the
! total, or S729,715, is represented by
automobiles and parts thereof, not in
Guiding tires, against SCISSOR for the
eleven months ended May last year.
The number of automobiles imported
for the 1911 period was 343, being an
increase of twenty-five over the 1910
period.
Automobiles make up $671 800 in
value and parts thereof S5S,3S5 for the

in automobiles was $33,371; in parts
thereof, S737; total $94,1OS.
In the month of May this year fiji

Impetus from Annexation.

The marked development during the
decade ending with 1909 is attributed
in considerable measure to tAe inn
petus given Hawaiian manufacturing
industries by the annexation Of the
Territory to the United States. The
increase is due in part also to the adj
vance in prices of commodities that
has taken place.

The Honolulu Figures For 1909.

q
The Honolulu Figures For 1909.
In 1909 the city of Honolulu report
ed 236 establishments, or 47.2 per
cent of the whole number in the ter
ritory; an average number of wage
earners employed during the year of
2,432, or ALP per cent of the total;
total value of products of $10,705,000,
tai; and a total value added by manu-
facture of $4,336,OOO or 1873 per cent
OF the total.
Hawaii's 10 Leading Industries.
Measured by the value of their prod
ucts, the ten most important industries
ranked in 1909, as follows: Sugar, $685.
$4,000; rice, cleaning and polishing,
$2,239,000; canning and preserving Of
pineapples, 1851, 900; wholesale
Strengthening and meat packing, 1864,
600; printing and publishing 435,O00;
food preparations, $341, 900; bread and
other bakery products, $S44,000; cop
per, tin, and sheet-iron products, $780,
600; coffee, cleaning and polishing,
$4,000; and lumber and timber prod
ucts, $2S1,OOO All other industries,
$4,758,OOO.
The prosperity of Hawaii depends
largely upon it's sugar products. The
cultivation of sugar cane in CONNER
cial quantities and the manufacture
of sugar were begun about seventy
five years ago, and since 1875 this in
dustry has increased rapidly and
steadily. Cane sugar alone is produc-
ed, although recent experiments in
growing sugar beets indicate the pos
, sibility that this industry may secure
a foothold in the territory,
In 1909 the value of the sugar manu-
featured amounted to 1873 per cent
of the value of all manufactures OF
the territory Since the sugar in
dustry so greatly preponderates among
the manufacturing industries of the
islands, it exerts powerful effect on
the increase shown for all mahufac-
turing industries confined. EXclu-
sive of sugar, the value of the manu-
features increased from $4,O99,OOO in
1899 to $11,454, 900 in 1909, or 49,
per cent.
Importation of Sugar Into United
States.
The United States has imported
nearly all of the Hawaiian sugar, a
large part of which is refined after
importation. The exports of sugar
during the year ending June 20, 1909
were valued at $37,692,S21 and repre-
scented 93.1 per cent of the value OF
all exports. The exports of domestic
merchandise to the United States, eX-
elusive of sugar, were valued at ST.
762R19, and of these canned fruit
amounted to $1,229,647 and rice to
$255,312, leaving a balance of Sl,277,-
26O to represent the value of all other
exports.
With the exception of some of the
larger mills in and near Honolulu, the
rice cleaning and polishing industry is
carried on by Chinese and Japanese
Practically all of the rice milled in the
islands is consumed locally, being in
great demand among the Chinese and
japanese, who constitute about one
half of the population. During the year
ending June 80, 1909, the imports of
rice products amounted to 2S,19745S
pounds, valued at $72S,791, while the

exports amounted to only 5,S69,75
pounds, valued at $257247. About 80
per cent of the imported rice came
from Japan.
Since 1895, when the pineapple can
ming and preserving industry was first
known commercially in the islands, it
has shown steady growth. Considering
the short season during which it isl
carried on the value of products isl
significant, compared with the values
reported on other industries. Measured
by value added by manufacture" this
industry is second in Importance, al
though holding third place in actual
value of products.
Persons Engaged in Industry.
There were 1872 persons returned
as the average number engaged in
manufactures during 1909, of whom
1904 were wage earners, 1888 pro-
prietors and officials, and $50 Clerks
OF the total number, 93.1 per cent were
male and 60 per cent female.
OF the total number of persons en-
gagged in manufactures, 1850, or SO 8
per cent, were in three industries, as
follows Canning and preserving,
pineapples, S53; rice, cleaning and pol
fishing, 51S; and sugar, 2,7O9.
Sex of Clerks.
OF the clerks, 96.1 per cent were
male and 99 per cent female. Of
wage earners, 91.5 per cent were male
and SIS per cent female; 9S.9 per cent
we're 16 years of age or over and but
IL per cent were under that age.
The largest number of women and chill
dTen were employed in canning and
preserving. OF the total of 500 females
in all industries combined, 246 were
in this INDUSTRY and Sc in the sugar
industry. Thus &C per cent of the
total female employees were reported
by these two industries.
Hours of Labor.
For nearly half the total number of
wage earners employed in the manu-
featuring industries of Hawaii the pre-
vailing hours of labor per week are
over sixty, or an average of over ten
hours per day.
Character of Ownership.
For all industries combined, % per
cent of the total number of establish
ments had in 1909 a corporate form
of organization, as against 70 per
cent for the remaining forms. The cor
responding figures for 1899 were 80 4
per cent and 67.6 per cent, respective
ly.
Size of Establishments.
In 1909, Of the 500 establishments,
only twelve, or "a per cent, had a
value of products exceeding $1,OOO,OOO.
These establishments, however, not
withstanding their small number, had
a total average number of wage earn
ers of 1886, or 1926 per cent of the
total number in all establishments;
and the importance of their operations
as measured by value Of products, was
4G. 6 per cent of the total and by value
added by manufacture SIG per cent of
the total
On the other hand, small establish
ments-that is, those having products
valued at less than $5,OOO-constituted
a very considerable proportion (51 per
cent? of the total number of estab-
lishments, but the value of their prod
ucts amounted to only IL per cent

No News Of Titania.
The interest that was created by
the news received here that the I'll
tania was making Honolulu in a dis

morning the officers on the Manchuria
were asked whether they had seen or
heard anything of her, and they re-

know that she was supposed to be in

1t would seem evident now that the
message has been mixed up in some
way, for the Manchuria and the Will
helmina both left last Wednesday, and
the news of her alleged accident
reached here on Thursday last 1t is
not too much to assume that had
there been any real danger to the III
tania, the Manchuria and the Wilhel
nina would have received wireless ad
vices to look out for her on their way
/ to these islands. Both vessels would
have been within easy range of the
shore instruments when the inquiries
