POSSIBLY
OCEANIC
THINGS LOOK LIKE THE THREE
sPRECKELs BOATS GETTING
LUMBER CoMPANY's CONTRACT.

Robert w. Single, president OF the
Waterhouse Trust Company, when ask
ed this morning if he had anything
more to say in reference to the Ha-
waiian Mahogany Companys contract
with the Matson Navigation Company,
replied:
There is nothing to say about it,
except that the Matson Company will
carry our ties. VINO will get the con-
tract is another question, and l have
absolutely nothing to say. That bust
ness is one that concerns us, and not
the pubic, but | suppose In due time
tie successful bidder will be an
nounced."
win you give the Matson Company
another chance to bid on the contract?''
was another question asked Mr.. Single.
mo, the Matson company will not be
given another chance to bid, and as for
the reason of our declining the offer
would raJner not SIdIe.
The contract was supposed to have
been given to the Matson Company
some time ago, but things have come
up recently that evidently made the
directors Of the lumber company decide
to give it to someone. else.
1t is quite possible that local steam
ship company will be organized to
1carry the ties, as George Beckley has
been closeted with Single and other
directors a good deal recently, and the
former chief purser has often spoken
about starting a new steamship COM
Ipany in opposition to the Inter-Island
The Star stated some months age
that it was quite likely that a loca
company would carry the ties, and thai
the three steamships of the Oceanic
Company would be put on to do the
business.
Mr.. Spreckels, when he was here 6
few months ago, remarked in an inter
view that, in the event of the ship sub
sidy bill not going through, the com
pany might put on the three SHIPS OF
a triangular service between Hilo, Ho
lnolulu and San Francisco.
I The only logical reason for so doing
, would be to carry the ohia ties for thu
Lumber Company.
w. w. Harris a few months ago stat
, ed that plans for the conversion of tn
J three Oceanic boats into oil burner
, had been prepared and the Oceani
Company was seriously considering do
ing so, as the ships could be run mucI
r cheaper than they have been run il
the past.
5 However, every one is waiting to Sc
. what the next move of the hawaiian
, Mahogany Co. will be as the con
tract is supposed to become a necessar
e fact before long.

BOY THIEF
IN NUUANU

1t is suspected that some boy has
been developing a criminal career in
Nuuanu valley and robbing numerous
houses, including those of w. W. Hall,
Soper and Alexander. Detective Reeves
has the matter in hand and young
Hawaiian is suspected, though at pre-
sent it appears impossible to prove mis-
guilt.
The little chap is believed to have
made a speciality of helping himself
to loose change lying about the res
pective houses He was seen leaving
the grounds of one of the homes the
other day The small robberies have
been going on for week or ten days,
In one case an empty purse was found
lying in the yard.

TEACHERS
GOING
SEvENTY-FIvE HAVE ASKED FOR
PLACES ON THE JULY TRANS
PORT TO COAST.

Already seventy-five of the local |
teachers have made application for
transportation to the coast on the July
transport as the result of the good
work done by the Superintendent of Ed
ucation who obtained room for thirty
who may wish to attend the Summer
Session of the University of California.
The list for applicants will probably be
kept open till June l, at which time a
decision will be made and those who
are selected for TIE trip will be no
titled.
Arrangements have also been made
by Mr.. Babbtt for board and lodging
in Berkeley for the teachers who will
make the trip at a cost of from $25 to
$35 per month. The trip on the trans
port which will probably be the Sheri-
dan, will cost the teachers only 81 per
day, so they will be able to spend their
vacations to great advantage and at
very moderate cost.
The teachers from Hawaii will not
reach the Coast in time to take part in
the regular course but will have an OPP
portunity to avail themselves of the
various excursions which will be ar
ranged to the famous farm of Wizard"
Burbank, at Santa Rosa to the Lick
Observatory and other like places Of
interest They will also be able to
take up special courses which should
prove of great benefit to them.
The following letter from the dean
of the Summer Session explains some
thing of the work to be done:
Berkeley, April 6, 1908.
am taking the liberty of sending
you an announcement of the next Sum-
mer Session of the University of Cali
fornia. l wish this might be posted
in your Office or on your bulletin board
for the information of teachers. More
courses will be given this year than
ever before, and nearly all the depart
ments of the regular session will be
represented. A number of distin-
guished educators from the leading
Eastern Universities will join the facul
ty.
While much of the work which W.
are planning will be concerned directl!
with the method and content of tn,
studies of the secondary schools, w
feel that we can not serve the teacher
OF the state better than by offering als'
wide range of opportunities for stud.
along other lines than the daily rou
tine of the school room. To this ent
we are presenting this year, larg
number of unusually interesting liberia
culture courses.
In addition to the many regula
courses Of the Summer School, WI
shall have more evening lectures, in
formal receptions, and excursions, thi
year, so that teachers should find thi
= a most delightful and profitable way Z
spend six weeks of their summer vaca
ton. I hope that you will co-operat
. in making the Summer Session bette
known to the teachers of Alamed
County and of your school in particu
lar.
Very sincerely yours,
.

To Make Sirup With Less Cooking

Messrs. Editors: After many years
experience with sorghum and after
having made over 5000 gallons of
strip in a season, | will report what
| have observed. To my surprise, l
made as many gallons per acre and
strip of as fine a quality very late
in the season with one-fourth the
cooking that would be needed ear
lier. The ripper sorghum gets, the
better. both for forage and for strip
I'll after frost. Do not forget that
a choice strip can be made from
sorghum and that the bagasse or
mashed cane may be used for forage.
