THE PRICE
OF BEER
Unlikely to Bring
On a Trade
War.
RUMORS ABOUT
SEATTLE BREWERS
Will They Now Try to Cripple
the Home Industry
Brewery?

A rumor has been going the rounds |
the Seattlei Rainier and probably one or
two other brewing companies would, |
within the next few weeks. wage beer
war in this city, and that the liquid en-
at five cents a glass, thereby attempting
to cripple the local brewery. An investi-
cation of the rumor. SO far as the local
saloon keepers were concerned. failed to
reveal anything definite. One and all
said, without exception, that they had
found nothing tangible in the rumor. All
expressed the opinion that five-cent beer
would not be very popular article for
the man behind the bar. The profits
would be so small, If there were any at
all, that it would not be worth the while
of the local dealers to handle 1t.
Another rumor has 1t that the Northern
brewers intend bottling beer at their
works in this city, and from there de-
liver 1t to tae different parties who have
| been their customers in the past, at re-
duced figures. One has only to mention
the subject in a crowd, and he can get
all sorts of figures offered him to prove
that the venture can or cannot be car
rfed through
Larry Dee, when questioned about the
proposed cut in the price of beer, and as
to it's possibility, replied:
| 81 do not think that such a thing is
probable. This is the first time I have
| ever heard of the matter / will, how
ever, give you a few figures just to show
you why hold the opinion do. To be-
gin with, it costs the Seattle people, at
the very lowest, sS.25 per ton to bring
| their beer here by freight. Now, there
are four barrels in a ton of beer. The
| cold storage costs two cents gallon. 1t
costs the brewing company twenty-five
cents a gallon to put their beer on the
Seattle wharf, and a like amount to put
it on the Honolulu wharf. The total
amount is $13.79. To expect a retailer to
sell beer at five cents a glass, make back
the money that the wholesaler must nee
essarily have to ask of him, and, in ad-
Idition to this, make his own net profit,
out Of which must come salaries for
help, big liquor license saloon rent
the expense of keeping up his place OF
business, and the money he lends which
he never gets back, there is not, when al
is told, very much left for him. You
may think my statements are fictitious
but If you will take the books of any
retail liquor dealer in Honolulu, you will
find that they are just about correct"
Mr.. st. c. Sayres, who represents the
Seattle Brewing Company in Honolulu
said last night that there was absolutely
nothing in the story of a war. Of thi.
he was positive.

BAD FOR HoEoLULU.
Its Peace Will Suffer If it Loses
Mounted Patrolmen.

High Sheriff Brown, in speaking yes
terday of the Senates action with re-
gard to the appropriations for the Ma
tional Guard and the previous legislative
action with reference to the mounted
patrol, wherein the latter was practical
ly ignored, regretted that some of the
could not see the danger
which threatened Honolulu by the re-
moval of the patrolmen.
1T takes but a little figuring to see
what dangers the residents of this city
will be menaced by if the mounted pa
trolmen are done away with. They are
an efficient body of men, whose true val
ue may be discovered by a great many
only when they cease to exist as a body.
THE very fact that eVil-doers know
that we have mounted patrolmen who
are on duty in the outskirts of the city
at night, and usually in places not known
to the average citizen, helps materially
to keep the peace. These men are patrol
ling beats in quiet manner as reckless
drivers have found out to their cost
They are the best preservers of the peace
in such districts as Kakaako and Palama
and can cover ten times the area OF
ground that a foot-police officer can ira.
verse.
IF the mounted patrolmen are with
drawn it will be unsafe for law-abidina
people to drive upon the Waikiki roaC
at night. The drivers who recklessly
race up and down there when a patrol
man is not in sight, would make it
dangerous pastime for a family to g,
out to take the air.
These persons would be the ones t,
make the beach resorts places which de
cent people would refrain from patroniz
ing. Our city is peculiarly adapted 70
the needs of a mounted service. TIL
foot-police cannot be expected to take Il
| the suburbs on their beats"
