SIGHTED
SAMPANS

Early yesterday morning nearly four
hundred miles from Honolulu and
headed for Bird Island, the Pacific Mail
S s. Mongolia arriving from the Orient
this mirning, sighted two Japanese
sampans from Honolulu, sailing with
fair wind and making good time.
"They may have been on a fishing
expedition said an officer OF the Mon
golia this morning, but I'd like 10
gamble that more profitable business
takes them that far out"
The sampans, from the description
given by Mongolia officers, are two OF
the crack fleet of gasoline auxiliary
Japanese fishing boats, capable, If need
be, of crossing the Pacific.
There has been much correspondence
of late, between certain local authori-
ties and navigators and Washington, in
regard to the bird-skin violations on
the part of Japanese fishermen on is
lands outlying but under American jur-
isdiction. This talk and the opium ru-
mors share alike for honors in water
front gossip, leaving much for ven
turesome conjecture as to the real mis-
sion of the sampans yesterday sighted
by the Pacific Mail boat.

This is a holiday and is being gen
orally observed, only the most press
ing Of business receiving attention.
Markets kept open for awhile in the
morning and the drug stores dispens-
ed soda until noon, after which the
quietude of a Sunday settled upon
the business center.
The week as a whole did not come
up to expectations in retail trade, al
though it probably held it's own fav-
orably with the corresponding per.
Tod of August. A very great dea
was expected of the fleet by the re-
tail merchants, and this element of
trade has not been in evidence to
the extent anticipated for it, due,
perhaps, to the fact that the "ghost
has walked" not on the ships for
some days. However, general trade
has been very nearly up to the mark
and complaints seem to be few.
Real estate has shown some activ-
ity, although there has been an abb
sence Of large deals. The Real Els
