HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,

TWenty-two years ago yesterday Aug 12, 1898, Uncle Sam took the islands of Hawsafi under aris protecting wing. The annexation of the South Sea. Islands bo the United Startes signaIzed the beginning of an era of peace and plenty in the land of the lotus. Pros perfty has enptted her cornoopias promiscnousfy upon the Hawaiians and the natives recognize the fact that Uncle Sam Is but good fortune dis guit1ed.
 The strategic position occupied by the Hawaiian group of islands has gained for them the ttfe of the key to te Pacific. The population of the islands is extremely diversified The races represented are Japanese, Chi nese, Korean, Asiatics. Hawaiian, Por- tug~ese, Spanish. American, French English, German. Porto Rican, Afri- can and mulatto. The Japanese and Chinese are in the majority and their numerical supremacy is increasing.
 Sugar is the chief product Of the Hawaiian Islands and great strides have been made in the industry with in the past decade. From the years 1885 to 1855 it was considered that an average yield of one ton of sugar to the acre was as good as could be ex- pected but with the importation o1 improved machinery the ouput in creased to three and then four and one-half tons.
 The land question is the great DO liticaI issue in Hawaii. A large pro portion of the most fertile and pro ductive lands of the islands is held ir largest estates each thousands of acre:

in extent Those so-oa,lled mission ary lands'' prevent the vast majority of the people of Hawaii from becom- ing independent farmers.
 Known as the Pearls of the Pacific, the islands are a picturesque string with their white sandy beaches, bril- liant green tropical foliage and widely assorted fnhabftants. Stevenson and other writers such as London have woven a spell of romance over them which is more real than fancied. Ad- ventuners of all sorts may be found
 on their shores and intrigues are numerous
 Honolulu is the chief rendezvous
 for Americans. This cosmopolitan
 city has a beautiful sheltered harbor where the water is ever still. The business section of the city is npoderr and up-to-dzate. Electric cars traverse
 the principal streets. The residential
 portion of the city is made beautifu by thoroug ghfares lined with tppica 1 trees and magnificent gardens. The | executive building is a handsome l edifce in ample grounds and was for naaHly the royal palace.
 The Hawaifans are open air people | and the spacious verandas, Shnt of l from the street by trees and gardens are the distinctive features of the l houses. The old custom of the mid day siesta has now been discarded ana | the working hours are now the same as in the states.
