Banana industry in Hawaii and factors for development
A June briefing from Honolulu outlines Hawaii banana production largely on Oahu with growing potential on the Big Island. Transportation gaps exist with monthly sailings from Hilo and Kahului, wages average 75 cents daily, labor mainly Japanese and Chinese, and land costs from $2 to $40 per acre. Current shipments total 15,000–20,000 bunches monthly from Honolulu, with smaller exports from Hilo and Kahului.

Smokeless Firing and Steam Jet Aids for Combustion
Smokeless firing relies on a thin bright fire and a good draft with air fed over the fire after each firing. Steam jets and automatic devices help maintain combustion by supplying fresh air, though valves and doors must coordinate with firing intervals to avoid smoke. General Stalkenberg leads Russian forces from Liaoyang toward Wafantien as cholera threats prompt home remedies and public warnings.
