For the twelve months ending June
30, 1912, the gross earnings of the
Hilo Railroad Company were $685.
379.S5, according to the thirteenth an
nual report of the president and board
of directors to the stockholders. Op-
Grating expenses were $181 ,335.24,
leaving earnings net of operating eX-
penses $157, ,044.61. From this sum de-
duct fixed charges of $125,913.45 and
there is left s31,131.16, to which add
net earnings of Hakalau extension dur
ing construction, $17, ,207.62, and there
remains as total earnings $4S,338.T8
for the fiscal year.
Gross earnings have steadily grown
since 1908, when they were S141 ,435.-

IS, and the. total net earnings over the
same period from $45,6754O to $751;
044.61, except that there was a de-
crease of $50 in the latter in 1911,
when the increase in gross earnings
was less than s35.
Total passenger earnings, including
mail, baggage and express, for the
year just passed were S67,118.91, as
vious year. an increase of $27,720.47,
or more than 70 per cent.
Big Freight Increase.
Total freight revenue in 1911 was
$176,S29.59, and for 1912 1892, ,465.S5,
an increase of S56 6,136.26, or nearly 80
per cent. In 1911 there were 1S5,465
tons of freight hauled, and 241,475 in
1912, an increase of $500 tons, or 80
per cent. "Of the total tonnage of
freight hauled during the two years"
says the report, there were only 3d.
PSI tons of sugar in 1911 and 26,597
in 1912. Less than II per cent. of the
total freight in tons was represented
in sugar from Olaa. The completion

Food Commissioner Blanchard has

inspection of the winery, the pei shops

mond ranch, pineapple canneries and
the stores, principally the ones carry

"On the whole" said Blanchard this
morning, IT found conditions at the
places where the inspections were
made, to be very good. Samples Of the
product of the winery were taken to

ing taken up. The output of the win
cry is smaller this year owing to the
drought prevailing on the island now,
but the quality of the product prom
IL es to be superior to that of other
years.
while it was impossible to make
an analysis of the poi, the shoDs and
n ethods of manufacture seemed TO be
entirely satisfactory, and compare
favorably with the shops of Honolulu

duct. There are few dairies on Muai,
and are hard to reach. l was rather
surprised at the unusually good coDdi-
tons under which milk is produced hv
them. The sanitary conditions OF these
dairies is probably better than the
local dairies, although the quality OF
the milk produced is somewhat lower.
This is due to the fact that the cattle
are bred more for beef than for diary
purposes, and are fed poorer. A few
ronths ago the Raymond ranch began

storage to Honolulu. The ranch.

KEWALO PLAN
NOW AWAITS
COURT RULING
Arguments Heard and Early
Decision Expected on
Big Project
INVOLVES FILLING OF
LAND TO COST 100000
Contract Has Been Let and the
~ Present Suit Is a Test
Case

Within the next few days, probably
early next week, a decision is expect
ed from the supreme court that will
enable the territory to begin its work
of reclamation on the Kewalo project
an enterprise involving the filling and
grading of large area of land near
Kakaako and the expenditure OF
something like 100000.
While the supreme courts decision
may prove adverse to the territory,
which is the defendant in the suit
this is not anticipated, and the big
work probably will begin within the
next two or three weeks. The con-
tract already has been let to the
Lord-Young Engineering company,
which is merely awaiting this decision
before starting active operations.
The suit is in the nature of test
case brought by Cecil Brown against
the superintendent of public works,
the territorial auditor, and other Off
cials representing the territory, to
ascertain definitely the legal author
ity of the government to proceed with
the improvement, assess the cost
against the priyately-owned property
affected and compel the owners to
pay their pro rata shares. The law
is plain enough on the point, bat it
has never been interpreted by the
higher court, and the territory re-
quires this Interpretation in case it
should be compelled to face injunc-
ton suits or protests by property
owners later.
The suit was filed by Senator
Brown, who owns some land in that
neighborhood. several weeks ago, but
there has been some unavoidable de-
lay in the hearings and the final ar
gument was completed in supreme
court only yesterday. Assistant At
torney General Arthur G. Smith ap-
peared for the territory, and the firm
of Thompson, Wilder, Watson & Ly-
mer represented the plaintiff.
