NEW ZEALAND ISLAND TRADE

The island trade of New Zealand
with the Cook, Society, Samoan and
Fijian groups is important, and in
cludes merchandise imported from Eu'
rope and America, since the more i'm
portant importing houses for this part
Of the world are located in Auck-
land.
New Zealand interests supplied i'm.
ports to the Fijian group to the value
of $4,649, 1903, out of a grand total OF
$685., 1O4 last year, while in the other
groups New Zealand controls a very
much greater portion of the bust
ness. This trade covers practically
all lines of imported goods, while
copra leads so far as exports are con-
cerned, aside from tropical fruits.
1t is expected that the business of
the Samoan group will be almost en-
tireIy controlled by New Zealand in
terests, since New Zealand has taken
charge of German Samoa, with steam
ers plying between the islands and
New Zealand ports quite regularly

|. E. {. DECISION
IN RATECASE
MAY HIT HAWAII

An increase OF freight rates on
certain commodities carried to the
Pacific from points East Of the Mis-
souri, river may follow as a result of
the decision of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission in the famous
inter-mountain rate cases. These
cases have been pending for some %
years
BY the decision rendered, water
competition between the East and
West seaboards is found to be too
negligible to be considered and rates
from the East to the Western coast
terminals lower than the rates on
like traffic to such intermediates
points as Spokane. Salt Lake, Reno
and Phoenix are held justified.
In complying with the commissions
order we do not intend to make any
radical advance in West bound rateJ
1T terminals, but to pursue a conserva
tivc course" says a statement from
San Francisco received here yesterday
10y II. f. Vernon, general agent for
the Santa Fe line.
while We do not agree with the
Startling at terminals, justified many
years past by competition of water
carriers, should now be disturbed be,
cause of temporary cessation Of ser
vice on the water, We do recognize
the situation fa:ing the commission
and believe they are guided by a sense
Of duty and what they believe the law
contemplates. We are certain that
when water service is resumed there
will be no difficulty in securing neces.
sary permission from the commission
to make rates at the terminals lower
than at Intermediates
The summary of the decisions rem,
dered by the interstate commerce
commission follows:
Existing water competition found
to be negligible factor in affecting
the rates by rail between Atlantic and
Pacific coast terminals.
Rates on commodities from East
ern defined territories to Pacific coast
terminals lower than the rates on
like traffic to intermediate points
found not justified under existing cir.
cImstances.
IOScuL effective rates on certain
specified commodities for all Eastern
defined territories to Pacific coast
terminals found not unreasonably low
and not to have been induced by wa
ter competition.
Present effective rates on other
commodities in schedules B and C
found as a whole unreasonably low
from territories East of the Missouri
river to Pacific coast terminals.
Rates on barley, beans, canned
goods, asphaltum, dried fruits and
wine from Pacific coast ports via rail
and water routes through Galveston t.
the Atlantic seaboard should be re.
vised to accord with the require.
ments of the long and short haul
clause of the furth section"

j. S. Scientists
Make Study of
HaWaH'S Grass

WASHINGTON, July lS.-DUriEg last
summer, Professor A. S. Hitchcock
custodian of the section Of grasses Of
the division Of plants, /. S. National
Museum, assisted by his son, 4. F..
Hitchcock. made a forage survey II
the Hawaiian Islands.
The islands visited were Kauai
Oahu, Lanai, Molokai, Maui, and Ha
wall, these comprising all the islands
of the main group except the two
smaller ones, Kahoolawe and Nihau.
Kauai, geologically the oldest is
land, shows the greatest effect OF
erosion, its deep canyons riyaling tnc
beauty of the Grand Canyon OF Col
orado
Hawaii Is Youngest
To the south the islands are sue.
ccssively younger, Hawaii, the larg-
est, being even now in a state OF
volcanic activity. On this island are
situated the two highest peaks Of
the group. Mauna Kea, 1885, feet,
and Mauna Loa, 1859 feet in height
Important agricultural industries OF
the island include sugar, live stock
and pineapples.
The native Hawaiian population is
decreasing, and it is only in the less
the primitive customs still prevail.
Here may be found the native grass
huts made of a wooden framework
filled in with thatch Of grass.
The grass used for this purpose is
usually pill, an indigenous grass abun-
dant upon the rocky soil Of the low
lands.
The cultivated trees and shrubs are
of great variety and beauty and are
drawn from all tropical and subtropi,
cal land. The introduced flora is
very pronounced in the region Of
the towns, ranches and plantations.
and one must go several miles from
Honolulu to find indigenous or native
plants.
Many Foreign Grasses
Of so species of grasses found on
Oahu about so were introduced from
foreign countries. One of the intro
duced trees of great economic i'm
portance is the algaroba tree, or
kiawe as the Hawaiians call it.
It's pods are very nutritious and
are eagerly eaten by all kinds Of
stock. Its flowers furnish an excel
lent quality of honey.
The prickly pear cactus has become
extensivel.- naturalized in the dryer
portions of all the islands. Ranchmen
utilize this for feed when other kinds
become scarce.
Two introduced shrubs now occupy,
ing extensive areas have become
great pests. These are guava, whose
fruit furnishes the delicious guava
jelly, and lantana, with clusters OF
handsome parti-colored flowers.
The indigenous flora is highly in,
teresting though not abundant in spe-
cies.

VETO OF MAYOR

cIerks> which they did last night,
the occasion was taken by several OF

item off the table, by saying that
he thought every member Of the board
should vote against the veto, espe-
CHILLY Petrie who had claimed that
10 was not tool Of any party" and
a<o because the passage Of the bill
had been unanimous.
Petrie, with a grieved expression,
replied that the veto was not directed
against all the employees Of the at
tofney's office but only against the
messenger, Joseph DiaZ.
"The mayor probably had a good
reason for vetoing the item and al
though / have not discussed the mat
ter with the mayor / shall back him
up," he said.
ct seems to me-" said Arnold, that
the Judgment Of seven men who have
so far run the business of the city
without the aid Of the mayor and who
unanimously passed the bin should
be sufficient to decide whether the
attorneys office should have a mes
senger. The board IL legislative
body and. ..as the right to set salaries.
II i had known that the mayor would
veto the item I should have exercised
the power which the ehairmanship Of
the board gives me and signed the
bin myself. II Is simply o case Of
politics with the shoe on the Demo
cratic foot"
Mcclellan said that II there was
any politics the shoe was on the Re-
publican foot, as the position Of mes.
senger had been made especially for
Diaz, although he admitted the law
allows the city. attorney to have a
messenger. He thought the position
was worth only $40. IT have never
tried TO influence the mayor" said
Mcclellan. although explained to
him the circumstances. ! believe the
appointment OF Diaz is the worst
thing which has happened in the IL
years OF city government"
Mott-Smith then put. q stop to the
argument by saying that as there had
been nothing new raised by the mayor
and the bin had already been passed
unanimously he could see no reason
for unfolding the veto. The veto
stood five to two, Mcclellan and Pc
trie approyins the veto. -.
