HILO NAN ANA TRADE. I'rospectB for Capturing the Western Slates Market. Peter Lee, who has put his shoulder to the task of developing the banana industry in the Hilo district, feels that excellent pro gress has been made during the past few months. He estimates that over 500 acres within the dis trict are now being cleared for bananas, and that within a year or eighteen months 3,000 to 5,000 bunches per month will be furnish ed for shipment to the San Fran cisco market. He also believes it will be an easy job to capture tne western market from Central America which now dominates the trade. He says that bananas from Hilo laid down in Frisco at $1 per bunch will do the work, and estab lish the industry upon a permanent paying basts to all who arc engaged in it. Mr. Lee agrees with-Mr. D. G. Camariuos, the Honolulu fruit man, that we should grow the Southern bar.ana here. It ships without packing; has a tough, skin that prevents bruising and blacken ing. These arc qualities not pos sessed by our more delicate Chinese banana. In his plans vAiich he believes will ultimately capture the banana trade of the Rocky Mountain States. Mr. Lee insists that the Hawaiian grower be paid living profitable price for his fruit. He believes that with bananas at a $1 a bunch in Frisco the grower here should have 50 cents per bunch, the transportation companies 35 cents per bunch and the commis sion agents and other charges 15 cents per bunch. He claims these figures will pay all the parties reasonably and foster the expansion of the business. Mr. Lee figures that the planter is entitled to not less than 50 cents a bunch because ot the following expenses and conditions connected with the growing of the fruit. Land suitable for growing bananas can not be leased for less than $ioto $20 per acre. Some Japanese growers are paying as much as $25 per" acre for tracts of from three to five acres. He figures that planting and cultivation will cost 5 cents a bunch. Then the fertilizer must be used if the choicest bananas are to be raised. The leaves and grass for packing purposes must be cut and stored in sheds to be kept dry. Cutting and packing the bananas figures another 5 or 10 cents, and it will cost 10 cents a bunch to transport them to the wharf. The grower must receive 50 cents a bunch to offset these charges if he is to have any profit left. Mr. Lee himself will import some plants of the Southern banana and advises others to do the same. UAH1.E COXNEUTKI). First Messngo From Sun Francisco 011 New Year's Dny. San Francisco, January 1st Com pliments of the season. Weather finer than California has ever known at this time. With this message in his hand, Manager Dickenson stepped out into the rotunda of the offices of the cable company at 8:41 o'clock last evening and announced that the cable between Honolulu and the Pacific Coast of the continent was open and working successfully. In the office were gathered a num ber of the representative citizens of the city, and with him was Secre tary Cooper, and the announce ment was greeted with cheers. To be exact, this was eight min utes after the recorder had shown that the great task of bringing Ha waii within a second of San Fran cisco had been finished, as the sensitive instrument which indicates the passage of the electric impulse began to vibrate about 8:30, and the preliminary service calls occu pied the first few minutes of the action of the wire, and engrossed the attention of the busy officials who gathered about its end. It was the culmination of a generation's hopes and aspirations, and the peo ple who saw the working of the instrument could not restrain a cheer. Advertiser, Jan. 2, 1903. FINANCIAL ARTICLE NO. 2. History of Co-operatlre itnnklng In Europp and United Stntes. The first inception of the Build ing and Loan system (as it is popularly called) was in Germany 125 years ago; almost simultane ously something of the same kind started in England. Out of this movement came the Birbeck of London, 51 years ago, which is today the seventh strongest financial institution in the world. It has handled over $1,259,000,000 in 51 years. Over two thousand years ago the Chinese formed societies and each paid monthly, and the money thus collected was loaned to one of their members who repaid it. in install ments. The system of installment bank ing, popularly called Building and Loan associations, have increased from one in 1837 in Frankfort, a suburb of Philadelphia, to over' 10,000 in 1900, and stilt increasing. Their assets increased from nothing to over $950,000,000, considerably more than the entire assets of the National Banks .of the United States. Their field of operation extends from Portland, Maine, to the Hawaiian Islands, and from St. Paul to El Paso, Texas. Besides this the investments in these com panies are sought and held by European capitalists. There must be something good in this system or they would not have gained such proportions. This system has been improved from time to time, until we claim, and are proving it, that the "Phoenix" is strictly a modern, popular banking institution, giving its stockholders an equitable divi sion of the profits earned and guaranteeing them absolutely against loss by the permanent cash capital (called Reserve Fund) paid in by its management and other prominent financiers on the Pacific Coast, we will fitly describe this Reserve Fund in one of our arti cles.
