MR.. THURSTON'S TALK.
Mr.. Thurston, relating the events
that had led up to this, stated that
last November he and Mr.. Shingle
had gone to the Coast on be-
half of the Hawaiian Mahogany Lum-
Der company, commissioned by the
board of directors to make a contract
for the transportation of the ties sold
to the Santa Fe road, and authorized
to use that contract as the basis for
securing a steamship on the local run
between the Islands and the Coast,
fitted for passenger and fresh fruit
traffic. To further this they were au-
tf1orized by the lumber company to
yield to the extent of cent a tie in
the freight contract, which would ag-
gregate $25,000, showing how far the
lumber company was willing to go.
I'VE had conferences said Mr..
Thurston, with representatives of the
four companies engaged in carrying on
steamship traffic with these Islands.
The Oceanic company after the first
of January said that what they would
be able and willing TO do would de-
pend on whether the proposed subsidy
bill, which extended to vessels of six
teen knots speed the mail contract
subsidies now limited to twenty knot
vessels, passed Congress or not. If it
did the company intended to convert
its three large steamships into oil
burners and put them on the Austria
liam run, again. In the meantime, if
enough freight were guaranteed them
they would put one or two of these
vessels on the local run.
Dearborn and Latham, the princi-
pal owners of the American
company, said that the passenger traf-
fic between the Coast and Honolulu
was one that they had been looking
forward to. and they had expected to
transform the Virginian into a pas
senger boat. But after expert advice
had been taken it had been decided
that she was not capable of being
into passenger boat that
would meet the requirements of the
service. They had looked the Amer
lean market over for one that would

''On the morning of February 18th,

about it, made it a veritable supper

The entrances and the cloak rooms
were at the makai end of the struc-
