THE FISHERIES CONSIDERED BY ISLANDS. 
During the year 1903 commercial fishing was prosecuted from the 
islands of Hawaii, Kahoolawe, Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, Niihau, 
and Oahu. This list shows an addition since 1900, for no commercial 
fishing was done by the few inhabitants of Kahoolawe at that time. 
The fishermen from these islands also frequent some of the smaller 
islands of the group, which are uninhabited the greater part of the 
year. In 1904 Mr. Max Schlemmer, of Honolulu, who is in charge 
of the guano work on Laysan Island, made an offer to the territorial 
government to lease Necker and Gardiner islands for a term of twenty- 
one years at a yearly rental of $25. It is his intention to engage in 
fishing from these islands during the rainy season (the equivalent of 
winter in the temperate region), when the guano work is not being
