AMERICAN HAWAIIAN SCHEDULE
The American-Hawaiia S. S. Co. is
now inaugurating it's 1905 schedule. The
sailing of the S. S. Texan from the
Sound on December IL for Honolulu
was the beginning of fourteen-day
service with freight connections be-
tween New York, Salina Cruz, San
Francisco, Puget Sound and Honolulu.
Freight from New York. via Tehuan-
tepec, will go from Salina Cruz to San
Francisco and the Sound, and so to
Honolulu, steamers arriving here every
fourteen days, and sixty days win be
port freight from New York, in this
manner, to Honolulu, connections be-
ing made promptly.
The sailing of the s. S. Nevadan
from San Francisco on December 10
started triweekly service between
that port and these islands. On De-
cember 81 the Nebraskan will sail
from San Francisco for this port, and
a
vessel. either the Nevadan or the Ne
braskan, will sail from San Francisco
to Honolulu thence to Kahului, thence
to Makaweli, thence to Eleele and so
back to Honolulu before returning to
san Francisco. Merchandise Will be
brought from the Coast in this man
ner for Honolulu and the other ports
named, where sugar and fruit will be
loaded for the return. Passengers will
be carried to and fro by both the
Nevadan and the Nebraskan. and
these additions to the regular passen-
ger service will no doubt prove most
acceptable to a port in need of all the
passenger transportation it can get.
COLUMBIAN COMING.
H. Hackfeld & Co, local agents of
the Hawaiian S. S. Co., have,
received a cable from the San Fran
cisco agents of the line that in order
to maintain the schedule laid down
for the Tehuantepec steamers for the
1908 season, the steamship Columbian,
which was expected to have gone TO
the Sound and proceeded thence to
these islands, will now come here di-
rect from San Francisco, sailing from
that port on the oath inst. This viii

Day, three days ahead of her schedule,

this port direct and will be here the
nth. She will now be followed by the
Columbian from San Francisco direct,
sailing the day before Christmas,
which will in turn be followed by the
Nebraskan on the regular local sched-
ule. the 31st, making three vessels
leaving San Francisco for Honolulu
direct this month.
