sent ashore at Guam.

by All Wong, Chinese cook enlisted IN

In signing up contract with the
Matson Navigation Company for car
rving it's freight between island ports
and the Coast, Alexander g. Baldwin
have not yet given up that part of its
contract with the American Hawaiian
Steamship Company, for the transpor-
tation of its New York freight via
Tehuantepec.
Announcement of this change was
made yesterday by j. P. Cooke and Z.
r Paxton of Alexander & Baldwin.
The confirmation of the contract was
received in the Alameda's mail.
This will cut out from the American
Hawaiian company large amount OF
business. and will make the Matson
line s hold on business in the islands
an exceptionally strong one, particular
" as the line is looked after locally
nv Castle & Cooke, who also have large
sugar carrying contracts.
Tn brief, the Matson company is to
carry from all ports of the islands, at
which it may be necessary to call, sugar
n Pacific coast ports, and in return
will bring all the Alexander & Baldwin
freiqhts to Honolulu and distribute the
same at island ports. The Matson boats
orc IN call at Kahului every eighteen
DAVIS. and will also make regular calls
at Makaweli, Kauai.
The sugars contracted for by the su-
oar Factors company to go to New

ers. has two years yet to run. !
The Matson line thus far has run the
steamers Hilonian and Lurline to Ho'
,oIuln from San Francisco, and the En-
from San Francisco to Hilo,
and intends putting on the steamer
to run between Seattle and
Honolulu. thus making bid against
Tho American Hawaiian line for the
Sound freight.
