The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-02-04

pamphlets describing the beauties OF
Hawaii.
Among the passengers who boarded
the Moana at this port was FL. A. Hal
dane, who is general agent for the Ca
madam Australian Steamship Company
in Vancouver. Mr.. Haldane and his
wife have been in Honolulu for several
months, but as the former has been i'll
most of the time, they did not have
much of an opportunity to see the is,
lands.
The Moana took mail for all the
States except California.
Alameda IS Big Cargo.
The Alameda is due here Friday, and
when she sails the following Wednes-
day, she will carry her usual large car
go. She will take away between six
and seven thousand punches of bananas
and about 5000 bags of sugar. She
will also carry to the Coast about 12,-
600 crates of fresh pineapples. It is
the general impression that canned
pines are somewhat of drug on the
market, both here and on the Coast.
Few of the canned article are being
sent to the mainland these days, and it
is probable that the export will not
be large until the demand is increased
Of miscellaneous cargo, the Alameda
will have about 100 tons in all.
Carpenters Are Scarce.
President Kennedy of the Inter-Is-
land Steam Navigation Company stated
yesterday that the new coal hopper
would probably be finished in about two
weeks The work has been delayed
owing to the scarcity of carpenters, the
men realizing that the job is about fin
ished and looking around for positions
that promise longer employ. The con-
struction work at Leilehua took many
of the carpenters out of town, but,
though this has been finished, the men
do not seem to be enquiring for work
in the city.
Irmgard Waiting for Sugar.
The Irmgard will probably sail from
! this port for San Francisco with her
cargo of sugar on next Wednesday, She
is at present waiting for the Inter
Island boats, which are stormbound on
| the Hamakua coast, to complete her
cargo. 1870.
Begging Seamen Prevalent.
Waterfronters are complaining these
! days about the number of able bodied
seamen who are begging for the price
of a drink. Three or four sailors, who
! appear to be Swedes or Norwegians
and who have been in semi-comatose
condition from over-indulgence in cheap
liquor for several days, have been max
ing regular round of the various stores

up pitiable tale about not having had
anything to eat 'Fsince day before yes
terday," and beg for nickel or dime
Taking compassion on the cold salts,
some of the people who have beer
"braced'' by the beggars have glve1
| them money. One well-known man OF
the waterfront sent a mendicant sailo
about his business in the right kind o.
fashion yesterday, telling him he should
be ashamed, an able bodied man, to b.
begging on the street. This fellow haC
the nerve to ask for money for drink
He was so full of poison then that h
was unable to stand steady, and he wa
told to get sober before the police tool
him in.

Kisagata Probably Saturday.
Nothing has yet been learned abou
, the japanese steamer Kisagata Maru
which is due here sometime this week
She is probably carrying a cargo o
sulphur for Davies & Co., but this fri
has had no definite information abou
her. One Japanese merchant stated yes
! terday he had learned that she sale
from Kobe on January %. If that
true, the Maru is not due here unit
Saturday, though she may come in te
morrow.
