HONOLULU IRON WORKS.
May do Work for the United States
Army and Navy.

The Honolulu Iron Works ex-
tending its business and capacity
at home and its reputation abroad.
The Army and Navy Register OF
recent date contains the following
paragraph:
The firm representing the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works has made a
proposition to the navy department
TO do work at cost price plus the
regular ten per cent Tor the uTe OF
the plant The company also points
out to the government that th..re is
an available site alongside its
works for a naval dry dock "
When seen at his office concern
ing the new move indicated in this
item, ]. A. Kennedy, the manager,
said that he knew nothing about the
proposition having been made. He
thought, however it might have
been made BY Mr.. Hedemann: the
superintendent, who has been on
the mainland for several months.
\ representative of the concern
who has recently returned from San
Francisco saws that the Honolulu
Iron Works mas a high standing
with army engineers and contract
ors. and that all engineers and cap
tainS on the transport service are
aware of Honolulu's facilities in
this line. After October Ist. all
transports have instructions to stop
at Hawaii. both going and coming,
and this will tend to increase the
patronage of the big local iron
works BY the government.
In the new shops, nearly COM
pleted by the company. facilities for
doing the heaviest kind OF iron
work have been put in The plant
is claimed to be superior to any
other of its Kind to be found else
where this side of Chicago.
The ponderous cranes are now in
place and in working order. The
BIG lathes are being set upon their
foundations and it will be
but j short time until the largest
-essels and ironclads, finding ref
ige in this harbor, can get repairs

Mrs. Logan was the first white woman
to visit the group, and the natives were
AFRAID of her. For the last six years or
so, Miss Logan says the work of the
mission has been carried on despite a
good many adversities, but with much
encouragement. The natives are al
ways fighting among themselves, but
the German authorities are now en-
deayoring to disarm them. In some
districts the natives are suffering from
famine, chiefly through having neglect
ed their crops to fight
Traders complain of the hostilities
of the natives" observed Miss Logan,
but We found that if a person was
straightforward and honest he had
nothing TO fear. The natives are taught
in the mission schools, and then sent
out to teach. In many cases they dis
appoint lis, but We can scarcely expect
great results in such d short time, es-
pecially considering the reverses we
nave had, and the lack of support from
the Government. The native popula-
! ton speaking the Ruk language is
| about $4,000. There are ten churcnes
in the group, in charge of native teach
/ ers. The only communication which
| the missionaries have with the outside

Describing the manners and customs
of the natives Miss Logan said it was
difficult TO imagine the filth and vice
in which they lived. The children
marry when they are eight or nine
years of age. Miss Logan brought a
native couple to Sydney with her. The
wife looks quite child, though she is
10 years of age. Girls have no voice in
