William F. Morgan Dislllses War Sec.
 rctary's Remarks About Grant.

William F. Morgan, of Grand ave- nue, civil war veteran, was asked by the Journal-Courier last night what he thought of Secretary Taft's statement in Grants tomb Memorial day, that Grant resigned from the army because he had given way to strong drink and feared that he would be court-mar- tialed
 Mir. Morgan stated that he did not know Grant until the latter became connected with the Army of the Po- tomac, so that as to the truth of Sec- retary Taft's assertion he could say nothing. He said, however, that he was very sorry that MT. Taft had spoken so of General Grant Any American citizen would deplore such statement
 The remark by Secretary Taft was made to show that Grant overcame every obstacle. The Grand Army men in general have become much displeas- ed with this section of Taft's Memo- rial day address.

MUCH MACHINERY COMING

The strides that the pineapple in
dustry has taken is strikingly Illus
frated by the fact that at the present
time new outfits of canning machinery
are being. purchased on the mainland
for three of the canneries. The plant
of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company,
in Honolulu. is TO be more than
doubled before the summer. James D.
Dole came up the line with me yes
terday and states that the work of
building in Iwilei viii commence next
week. Manager ]. T. staff of the Wa
hiawa Company is now on the main
land picking out parers and runners
and slicers and the other cunning bits
of machinery that go to make UP a
cannery. The new machinery viii give

from his three patches, at Pupukea,
Halemano and Wahiawa.
RAILROADS GOOD SERVICE.
1t is decidedly refreshing to hear the
customers of a railroad praise the SER
vice given them, but the O. r. & L.
seems to be able to give general sat
isfaction. The main reason for this,
probably, is because the company
keeps just a trifie ahead of the pine
apple grower in the service. Already,
in anticipation of the demand which
will be made upon them this summer
for rolling stock, the company has
begun TO build new cars, especially
adapted for the transportation OF
fresh pines. These cars will be open
and will keep the fruit in much better
condition than when they are slowed
away in the closed-in freight carriers.
From our experience with the rail-
road company l can say that their Of
ficials are ready TO do anything at all
in reason to help the producer and get
the fruit to our cannery in good
shape. So far they have helped us in
every way" This is the statement OF
Manager Dole of the Honolulu can

inclined to the transportation facili-
ties afforded by the various steamsbaE

companies carrying the fresh pines to
the mainland markets. None of the
vessels in the trade now are properly
fitted up with ventilating plants, and
the difficulty of getting the fruit to
San Francisco in good shape is made
great on that one account. Once the
pines are successfully landed on the
Coast there is no further aiff1culty with
them, although Mr.. Dole is of the opin-
ion that to lay them down as far east
as Chicago will prove to be too ex-
pensive a proposition. His company
ships more fresh pines than all the
others put together, but he prefers to
send out canned pines to fresh ones.
COAST CAPITALISTS ON THE
sa GROUND.
Today, Mr.: Dole is showing a party
of Coast capitalists around his COM
pany's fields at Wahiawa. At the
head of the visiting party is Mr.. Baum
garten, of san Francisco, of the firm
of Hunt Brothers, the big Gamers of
the Golden State. He is enthusiastic
in his praise of the Wahiawa country.

thing that was.
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
Pineapples are not the only thing
grown at this favored spot. On the
land of the Wahiawa Consolidated are
two ten-acre patches of cane on which
the company is making money. Last
years the crop off one patch was sold
to the Honolulu plantation at the rate
of 1915 a ton and brought in over a
thousand dollars. The cane was not
irrigated in the regular sense of the
word. the main dependence being put

seth and Mr.. Dingler. Supper was
served in the balcony of the hall and
refreshments were served through
out the evening.
At late hour the uniform rank

World, entered with the Goodwill
fife and drum corps, who marched
about the hall and played several
airs. A number of actors from the
Bijou theatre were also on hand and

No Trouble. In Afternoon.
