the  animals  were  allowed  to  remain  on  board  and  will  leave

by  the  requisite  certificates  of  inspection  and  testing. 
V ery  respectfully,

PINEAPPLE  OUTLOOK. 
Many  factors  are  at  work  which  makes  the  future  of  the 
Hawaiian  pineapple  and  canning  industry  one  of  great  promise. 
The  active  advertising  campaign  has  contributed  largely  to 
the  growing  demand  for  our  pines  and  in  direct  response  to 
this,  not  only  has  the  reserve  stock  of  our  local  warehouses 
been  disposed  of,  but  orders  are  booked  ahead  for  future  de- 
livery. Coupled  with  this  a general  falling  off  of  the  fruit 
crop  on  the  mainland  is  reported,  which  necessarily  affords  an 
opportunity  for  other  available  supplies  of  like  products. 
Another  great  stimulus  to  the  industry  has  been  afforded  by 
the  Seattle  fair,  where  the  sales  of  fruit  alone  have  already 
justified  the  expense  of  the  pineapple  growers  at  the  exposi- 
tion. It  is  needless  to  say  that  the  reputation  of  the  Hawaiian 
pine  will  be  carried  bv  the  Seattle  visitors  into  thousands  of 
homes  throughout  the  mainland.  In  this  way  it  is  not  im- 
probable that  enquiry  will  be  made  for  our  canned  fruit  from 
entirely  new  localities  so  that  the  resources  of  our  plantations 
and  canneries  will  be  taxed  to  cope  with  the  demand.
