FEEDING SOLDIERS.
COmmissary Department of L. >.
is Eept Busy.

WASHINGTON, August 16-The
commissary department is now work
ing busily to provide food and subsist-
ence for the new army of the Philip
pines. The bulk of the material must
be purchased in this country and
shipped from San Francisco. When it
is realized that 100000 pounds of food
will be consumed every day by the
men in the Philippines some idea can
be gained of the quantities which will
have to be provided.
The first order for the new army of
sc, 900 men has been made up by Com
missary General Weston. This is only
preliminary, and similar orders will
follow, so there will be no intermission
in the supplies.
One of the largest items on the list
is 100000 pounds of flour. With this
goes 100000 pounds of hard bread, 300,-
900 pounds of crackers and 5000
pounds of ginger snaps. The first or
der for coffee amounts to $780, 900
pounds. Five thousand cases of corned
beef and lis 900 pounds of Goldfish form
two important items. The canned
goods in the order include everything
WHICH a grocer usually SellS- LUNA
toes head the list, to the extent of $50
tons. In the list also are $50, 900
pounds of green corn, 200 cases of lob
sters. 1000 cases of salmon, 600 cases
of fancy soups and canned peaches,
pears and apples in large quantities.
Other items are $4,000 pounds of chloe
olate 1000 cases of condensed milk,
1000 cases of condensed cream, 5000
Of Z
cases of oatmeal.
A welcome addition to the commits
sary stores which are placed on sale
will be 5000 barrels of ginger ale in
bottles. All kinds of dainties are pro-
vided for the men. Fifty cases of
mushrooms are included, as well as
several thousand pounds of candy in
half-pound boxes.
Among the standard articles of diet
issued in rations are $4,000 gallons of
vinegar, II 900 pounds of pepper and
several thousand pounds of cheese.
Five hundred cases of baked beans are
added to help out the order of I'M
cooked beans.
Rice and sugar are purchased in the
Philippines, although some quantities
of fine sugar are included in the order.
Fresh beef is sent from Australia to
Manila in refrigerator ships. The
meat is frozen and is said to be of eX
cellent quality.
1t will take $50 tons of bacon per
month to supply the troops. One OF
the items of this big order is $4,000
pounds of plug tobacco. There Will
also go with this consignment 1000
pipes of assorted kinds and several
thousand pounds of fancy smoking to-
bacco in tin cans and packages.

TO TALK BUSINESS.
Hawaiian Tramways Co
Are Ready.
So Says Hon. Paul Neuman. Attor
ney for the Com pany-EndOrssS
the Pinkham Plan.

Il think everything set forth in the
statement of Mr. Pinkham is perfectly
reasonable" The speaker was Hon.
Paul Neumann, attorney for the Ha-
waiian Tramways Company, who was
giving his views on the interview with
Mr.. Pinkham on transit matters pub
lished in Wednesdays Advertiser.
Yes, a consolidation of interests
would undoubtedly result in a big saw
ing for the Honolulu public. It's the
people that pays, you know. We al
ways have been and are now ready to
talk business with the Rapid Transit
Company. If they have any PROPOSE
ton for joining interests they should
present it to us, or if they want us to
buy them out they should let us know.
Mr.. Pinkham's propositions were
sent TO us some time ago. We gave
them attention and waited for the
Rapid Transit people to show that they
thought the ideas worthy of consider
alton. Certainly, Mr.. Pinkham has no
connection with our company. He is
simply thinking citizen endeavoring
to improve present conditions. His
ideas are good. The floating of the
bonds and the combination of inter-
ests, with the summary showing the
saving that would result, are first-class
propositions.
But We cannot make any overtures.
Ours is the old-established company.
We are conducting our affairs in such
a manner that will insure a certain
rate of interest to the stockholders. If
a new company appears and shows us
how we can give the people better SER
vice and still earn the interest we
shall gladly listen to their proposition.
Understand, we want to do that
which will work for the most good for
Honolulu. We desire to see the city
grow and advance. To this end we
are laying a double track and prepar-
ing for electric service. If better re-
suits may be had by combining issues
with the Rapid Transit Company we
are in a receptive mood

of the credit system from circular
issued by an English cooperative
society: an it's demoralizing in

Credit degrades the individual by
the consciousness of wearing I'M

the working man dependent, and at

him. Credit increases the cost of
