There are single iron beds. and In
the top OF the rather high head Is set
an electric light A reading desk is
attached to bar. which crosses the
head OF the bedstead and can be
raised above il when required. There
are disadvantages to this light, which
must shine In the eyes as well as on

Better arrangements are made In
SOME of our big hotels. There Is ar
ranged at one side of the bed an arm

can be pulled over the bed at the Will

Mr.. Mott-Smith gave statement OF
the present phase Of the paiai supply
question. Some of the article brought
to Honolulu by Young Brothers steam
launch in dress had been put on ice
here and reshipped hence, having been
delivered in good order at Kalaupapa
the previous day. An arrangement
had been made with Wilder's Steam
ship Company, through Superinten-
dent Reynolds, whereby paiai may be
shipped by Contractor Kalua from Ka-
hului to Honolulu for transshipment.
Reference was made to the liability Of
spelling the foodstuff by improper
packing. Layers OF Il leaves inside
| the gunny sacks had proved a proven
tive of encrustation of the paiai from
1 atmospheric exposure. II was shown
! that without a contract II cost 500 a
ton to ship from Kahului, while under
the contract 1t cost but $3.50 a ton
from Honolulu to the Settlement. In
answer to question II Young Broth
ers could not undertake the service
Mr.. Mott-Smith said it was better t
be sure than sorry.
Mr.. Reynolds explained that hi
proposal to Wilder's Steamship Com
pany had been noted by Secretary Ros'

vice president and treasurer of the Sc
attic and San Francisco Railway &
Navigation Company, who has been
spending about six weeks in this city
on business and pleasure combined.
The company which Mr.. Dovey rep
resents has its headquarters in Seattle.
where II has grain elevators, coal
bunkers and other large facilities for
shipping. The wheat shipping facili-
ties of the company are at present. al

stage of development, able to load up
to $1,000 sacks of wheat day while
the facilities of the company for the
handling OF coal enables 1t to handle
500 to 600 tons of coal per hour. 1t is
expected that very soon the company
will so increase its facilities that 1t
will be able to handle up to 1900 tons
a day.
The company also owns extensive
coal mines located in the best mining
district in the State of Washington
about fifty miles from Seattle. These
mines are being developed by the
most modern systems. Electricity Is

that coal will not be replaced with oil
and Notwithstanding the fact that the
coal supply at present on hand here
Is very great, he has been successful
far beyond his expectation in placing
extensive orders for his coal not only
on this island but also on Kauai and
Maui and II is confidently expected
that Hawaii will also soon be counted

company's coal The monthly com
