The finances of the county will not

Under our new receipts for this

$500, 900; for running expenses to the
county one year, 100000, leaving a
balance of 100000 to be expended in

Chairman, Board of Supervisors.
Frear's Warning.
The reply of the governor was IN
its text much like the ancient fable
of the grasshopper and the ant. The
keynote was that the county must
emulate the ant and store up sup
ply with which to tide itself over the
lean part of the year, least it, grass
hopper-like, be caught in a most en-
barrassing situation. The counties
must all be careful in their financial
management, said Frear, until next
May, for under the statutes made and
provided by the last session of the
legislature the Territory will cease
making its usual monthly advances
after January 1. 1t has been the
habit of the Territory to advance
the County of Hawaii from 81, 900
to $4,000 a month, and to turn over
whatever balance of the tax collec.
tions remained to the credit of the
COully, bGlllAt NhSSN NNAAlN
generally coming in during July and
January. The governor added his let
ter that from the taxes which will
be coming in next November the Ter
ritory will retain the advances which
it is making to the county between
this time and that, and the county
will have nothing to depend on, witt
the exception of the balance of the
November taxes, until the time wher
the May taxes come in. Next May
says the governor, consolingly, tho
counties should be on "easy street,
but until then, beware.

tlO,O0tl, ,O00 RAILROAD BRIDGE ANG TERMINALS TO BE BUILT
 AT MEMPHIS.
HARAHAN IS BEHIND IT
Means Much to Arkansas and Adjacent Territory-Mr. Harahan Tells
 of the Project.

Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 27.-Involy- ing an expe nditure of approximately S10,000,O00 the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company, will erect a bridge across the Mississippi river at Memphis and establish freight terminals here of sufficient magnitude to make Memphis the central point Oil the big railroad system, particularly as it will affect California and West ern business.
 Details of the tentative plans of tie railroad company were made public this afternoon by James T. Harahan. former president of the Illinois Cen- tral railroad, following the filing of l char for the Arkansas and Mem phis Railway Bridge and Terminal Company at the office of the county register The incorpofators ..e !. T. Harahan, C. Hunter Raine, J. 4 Riechman. B. L. Mallory and E. t. Wright, MI Harahan will be pr.s'- dent of the big corporation
 The new bridge will be located several hundred yards north of the bridge now spanning the river .t Memphis. making it of easier access from the bnsin ess district of the city.
 Tn first step necessary before af- tual construction work may be started ;n {1, b1 of (Nnn TO and to that end a bill will be intro duced by Representative Mckellac shortly aft'r the national assembly reconvenes January 4. This, it is said, will be a mere formality and no trouble in securing speedy action in the national House and Senate are an- ticipated The bridge will be built under the supervision of the Secretary of War
 MT. Harahan in an interview this afternoon said:
 "The purpose of the Arkansas and Memphis railway bridge and terminal Company is, as it's name applies, t0 build bridge across the Mississippi river and also large terminals in tue city of Memphis. The building of au- other bridge across the Mississippi river at Memphis will give additional facilities which are absolutely need- ed to insure not only the proper handling of freight and passengers in and out of Memphis over the present railroads centering here, but also will insure facilities for, other railroads which are now seeking to enter Mem- pl7saas great terminal point
 q believe that the carrying out of the purpose of this corporation will be of great benefit not only to Mem phis but to it's adjacent territory but for many other reasons. In the first place we expect to spend several mill lion dollars in the building of first class railroad bridge across the Mis- sissippi river in the purchase Of prop :. erty and the building of large freight warehouses in this city. In the next place 1t will enable the Rock Island. which is the principal interest back os this movement, to make of Memphis great gateway in the transportation
