ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
NEBRASKAN TAKEN
OUT OF SCHEDULE

H. A. Isenberg, president of Hackfeld
& Co, local agents for the American
Hawaiian Steamship Co., have the fol-
lowing cable yesterday from Williams
Dimond & Co, the San Francisco
agents:
Steamer Nebraskan Withdrawn"
The Nebraskan was scheduled to ar
rive here from San Francisco on
November 81. Nothing further is
known yet by the local agents about
the withdrawal of the freighter. Re-
turn cargoes of sugar are difficult to
obtain now, owing to the sugar crop
having been about cleaned up. When
the season opens up again, the Nebras-
kan will undoubtedly be added to the
schedule.
The Nevadan of the same line is due
here from San Francisco next Wednes-
day. a..
