ports about December IS. She may not

Alameda Doing Big Business.
The Oceanic liner Alameda arrived
yesterday forenoon from San Francisco
chockahlock with passengers, freight
and mail. and when she leaves for the
Golden Gate next Wednesday morning
she will at least be chockab1ock with
freight. In fact it will be her banner
load of Island products. Among the
principal items which Freight Agent
Fred Whitney has assembled is 5000
sacks of coffee from the Kona, Hawaii,
plantations. This is the largest single
shipment of coffee ever made from the
Hawaiian Islands. The Kona planta-
tions are doing exceptionally well this
year and not only the planters, but the
shipping people, are well pleased. The
Kona coffee has fine reputation among
coffee users and the brand is sought
by mainland consumers. Other items
will include rice, canned and fresh
pineapples, sugar and bananas. The
vessels cargo capacity viii be taxed
to carry all the freight offerings.
The Alameda arrived about two hours
late yesterday this being due to fogs

fast enough after she shook herself
free from the fog envelope There
Were one hundred and four cabin pas
sengers on Purser Smith S list, and
they all enjoyed the trip They were
well looked after from the gastronomic
standpoint, as usual, and ON Thanks

dinner He had the singing room pref
tily decorated with small flags and
festoons of colored paper. The menu

that it was difficult to keep pace with
the items. Thanksgiving Day, for
tunately, was pleasant from the
weather standpoint.

people aboard belonging to the Rich

pear at the Orpheum tonight, amuse-
ments and entertainments did not lag.
