SHIPPING NEWS

The chartered steamer Honolulan,
which is engaged by She Matson
Navigation Company, will probably
not leave San Francisco until
February zist, the time scheduled for
her second trip. She is still in San
Francisco and following upon a cable
asking whether she could get cargo
of sugar if arriving here on the 10th,
Messrs Castle and Cooke wired to
hold her until the 21st if it could be
done.
Making the run from Sydney to
Honolulu in fifteen days, the Canadian
Australian steamer Zealandia arrived
off port shortly before four o'clock yes
terday afternoon. She had very littel
cargo on board and she rolled consid-
erably in the long swell which pre-
/, vailed. 1t was blowing half a gale
outside, remarked passenger, but the
Zealandia behaved so we'll during the
trip that the swell was hardly noticed.
All the way from Australia the wealth
err was fine and making port a day
ahead of time pleased ALI the passen-
gers. The steamer had III passengers
in the first and second class, thirty
three of whom lay over here. Among
the passengers were several we'll
known Sydney people, as well as
Americans returning from a visit 10
the Antipodes.
The zelandia had 1O9 tons of cargo
for Honolulu, consisting principally If
fertilizer and large consignment Of
onions. After discharging this cargo
and taking on board a small consign
ment of miscellaneous freight for Van
couver the Zealandia will leave at
three o'clock today.

INTEREST SLACK
IN 100000 CLUB

The monthly meeting Of the Honolu-
In Hundred Thousand Club was held
this morning in the rooms of the Pro
motion Committee.
Secretary Chas. A. Stanton submit
ted his report showing that the club
had secured 3OS members, and dis
cussion arose as to ways and means to
stimulate the more rapid growth Of
the club, and much surprise was man
ifested by the committee that so lit
tie interest is being taken by the gen
eral public in a movement which
means so much for the development
of Honolulu. 1t was remarked that in
all American cities the citizens have
enthusiastically responded to their
Hundred Thousand and Million clubs.
and why not Honolulu. that desires the
greatest amount of advertisement and
mainland popularity it can secure?
It was suggested that an additional
prize of a trip to the Volcano House
and return be given to the person
first securing 500 yearly memberships
to the club, and appropriate prizes 20
those securing lesser numbers. This
idea was adopted and the list and con-
ditions will appear in public print lat
er.
MIR. Edward D. Casterline was
elected Assistant Secretary.
The meeting closed with a discus
sion of Mr.. Stanton's suggestions, rs
embodied in his report, as to ways and
means to create an earnest and active
interest among all property owners q
clean up their premises, knock down
old fences, remove the weeds ami
grass from sidewalks and curbs, and
assist in identifying the city in gen.
eral.

COURT INSISTS
UPON A TRIAL

Two charges against Peter Stanley
have been appearing and re-appearing
on the police court calendar at irreg-
u'ar intervals since January 5th, one
an assault charge and the other an
offence under section 316t. Once
again the name came up this morning,
Attorney L. Straus appearing for the
defendant and announcing his read
mess to proceed to trial.
But Deputy City and County Attor
ney A. NJ. Brown was not ready, He
pointed out that the complaining wit
ness had not appeared to prosecute
though she had first been subpoenaed
and then a bench warrant issued.
Though a search had been made for
her she could not be found. He ask
ed for a continuance for two weeks as
he understood there was a possibility
of the girl being apprehended on one
of the other islands.
Attorney Straus suggested a contin-
uance for a week and to this Brown
agreed on the understanding that If
the witness were not found further
continuance could be had.
At this stage Judge w. B. LymeT
interP0sed There is no need for any
understanding" he said. "This court
is going to keep this case on the cal
endar until the girl is found, even if it
takes a year" Judge Lymer, how
ever, agreed to Straus' suggestion and
put the case over for another week.

KIRMESS STARTS
CARNIVAL WEEK

A public dance on a big platform
fifty eight by twenty feet in size is
to be one of the enjoyable features
of the Mid-Pacific Kirmess that is to
be held at the old fishmarket on
Saturday, February 49, This is the
announcement that was made yes
terday by Stage Manager Will Adams.
The dancing floor. he says, will be
the huge stage that will soon be
erected at the fishmarket. The stage
will be used from eight O'Clock in the
evening to eleven O'Clock for the
folk dances living pictures, bridal
professions and other spectacles of
the fete, after which it will be turned
over to the people for two-steps and
waltZes
Each booth has been allotted fifteen
minutes to put on it's show. AS
will take more than three hours for
the continuous performance. But the
cars will run late and nobody need
be in hurry to so home, so the
big dance should prove one of the
main attractions of the evening.
Bergers band will be on hand all
evening to play for the Kirmess.
Also arrangements have been made
tc secure Ernest Kaais double
quintette which will alternate with
the band and which will play for the
dancing.
The Kirmess committee and the
committees of the various other or
CARNATIONS, like the Elks, Shriners
and Floral Parade committee, that
are to take active part in the events
of the Carnival week, are working
tremendously together to make the
week a joyful time long to be re-
membered in Honolulu. Col. Jones,
chairman of the Elks, carnival COM
mittee, is understood to be particular
ly pleased at the Kirmess people hay-
ing volunteered to break the ice by
inaugurating the Carnival Week. He
understands that the Kirmess will
serve to awaken the carnival spirit
in the people, and consequently is
willing to work earnestly with the
Kirmess committee to make the en-
tire affair big success. His CO.
operation has been gladly accepted
by the Kirmess committee.

who come here to settle and through
a growing tendency on the part of
Honolulu permanent citizens to go
into such Eight housekeeping as is
afforded by the facilities of just such
light housekeeping as is afforded by
the facilities of just such metropoli-
tan apartment houses. Most of the
hotels are full, as are all boarding
houses and lodging houses.
Most of the hotels are full, as are
all boarding houses and lodging
houses. There are waiting lists too
numerous to mention. Mrs. c. j. Nc
Carthy's Donna" one of the latest
of the converted residencesfi convert
ed to the use of roomers and boarders
is turning away applicants for rooms,
as are also such popular establish
ments as The Hau Tree, The Airing
ton, The Allangton, Johnson's, The
Majestic, Helens Court and The
Seaside.
There is constant inquiry for
housekeeping rooms, very few of
which exist, comparatively speaking.
Link McCandless' new concrete build
ing on Pauahi street is already either
full or spoken for, but it has no
housekeeping rooms.
1t is believed that the example to
be set by the Trent Trust Co.'S
apartment house on the site of the
old Methodist church will be follow
ed by others who will put up build
ings where the man of moderate
means will have a chance to secure
a decent apartment for the living of
his family at reasonable rates The
$50 toll TO be charged by the Trent
institution will meet demands of
tourists who wish to spend a few
months here and yet do not desire
to go to the expense of hotel ac-
CommodatiOns.
The Realty Co. will seel the Met
hodist church site at auction and
there seems at present nothing in
the way of the realization of the idea
of placing on that site the apartment
house referred to.
One of the interesting features of
the new proposition is that it will
have roof garden and collanade and
will be embellished with a couple
of cupolas.
c. B. Ripley and A. Reynolds are
the architects.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 10
Movements of merchandise and prod
uce by the water routes, TO and from
San Francisco, were unusually large
during the year, says Duns review.
The tonnage entering the port during
the year exceeded 100000 tons. I'm
ports for the first ten months we're
S42, 702, 300 and a moderate estimate
for the last two months swells the
total for the year to SOL 100000. This
is the third time in the past decade
that these imports have exceeded
$50,000,000 per annum. This total
does not include the value of the
imports from the Hawaiian Islands,
which average over $20,O00,0OO per
annum, of which more than S15,000,000
was sugar, OF the $50,000,0 900 or more
credited to SIN Francisco as the
value of it's imports last year, much
the larger proportion came from the
Orient, consisting principally Of teas
and silks, the bulk of which was in
transit to markets on the other side
of the Continent The exports by
sea from this port last year were
unusually large, the total value ex-

oeding $61 100000. Only once so far
in this century has this total been
larger, and that was in 1905, the
year preceding the great disaster.
The last quarter of the year was an
usually active period and November,
1910, proved to be a record month,
showing a total of $500, 6O3; in only
three other months have the exports
exceeded $S,OOO,OOO
Most of the dried fruit was in the
form of prunes, the bulk of which
went to Europe This was also true
of the barley, and the canned fruit,
vegetables and salmon, and a con-
siderable quantity of the wine. Cali
fornia oil shipments figured for a
large amount. Texas cotton Ship
ments to Japan, and Government
suppdels for THE philippines were
also important factors. The supplies
sent to the Hawaiian Islands were of
a miscellaneous character, comprising
nearly everything needed, and the
orders made up a larger total value
than those received from any one
source, not even excepting Great
Britain, the total for the year aggre-
eating over $14,000,000.

COLUMBIAN HAD
SIX DAYS GALE

Reporting a six days gale the
steamer Columbian came in yesterday
from Seattle, which port she left
on the 21st inst Immediately on leav-
ing the Sound the Columbian ran in
to rough weather and for six days she
was battling with a north west gale.
The Columbian only had a thousand
tons of freight on board, and being
light, she tossed about considerably in
the rough seas. No damage was done
either to the ship or to the cargo, and
there were no passengers on board TO
be sea-sick The Columbian, after
getting out of the gale, mentioned,
ran into hail and rain storm on Sat
urday. While this lasted the wealth
er was very dense, but after this the
remainder of the voyage to port was
made in agreeable weather.
The Columbian brought cargo from
New York and the Sound, about five
hundred tons from each place. The
New York cargo is general merchan-
disc, while that from the Sound is
mainly flour and fodder. She also had
on board about 200 bags Of mail, the
largest mail carried by one of the
American Hawaiian vessels for a long
time. Immediately OH arrival at the
railroad wharf the Columbian COM
menced to discharge cargo, a start
being made on the our from the Sound.

GOOD NEWS
IContinued from rage one.I

and every business man Of this city
was urged to work to the best of his
ability, through correspondence with
Congressman, and otherwise, to help
San Francisco in her fight for the big
show. San Francisco has won and
we are the gamers here as we'll as the
people of San Francisco are the gain
ers."
Said President James F. Morgan of
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce:
81 always hoped that San Francisco
would get the fair and always expect
ed that she would be victorious in her
endeavor to secure the great eXposi
s. ton for 1915. We should all be might
lily pleased that the award has gone as
it has. Undoubtedly Hawaii will
largely benefit through the fair being
held on the Pacific coast. 1t will
mean an increase of tourists this way
and it will probably be the means Of
many people coming here to stay 1t
will stimulate trade and advance bust
ness all along the line. The Cham
Der of Commerce, it will be remember
ed, adopted resolutions supporting San
Francisco for the fair and we have all
been doing everything in our power, I
am sure, to bring about the desired
result. San Francisco is the logical
city for the exposition and she has
won, which is not only matter of con-
graduation for San Francisco but for
us here in Hawaii.
1--WE should arrange at an early date
to send as fine an EXHIBIT to the fair as
possible. We should not neglect any
chance to avail ourselves to the ut
most of this splendid opportunity to
bring the products and advantages of
Hawaii before the eyes of the world.
"Our manufactures and our products
of nature should be exploited in the
best possible manner, and believe
they will be. 1t is essential that we
do our best in every particular. 1t is
too early to speak of details of which
we know nothing, there being nothing
definite in the way of plans at this
date. It is bully thing and I am de-
lighted"
Former President Waldron Of the
Merchants Association said: ut is the
biggest news for Honolulu in a long
time. An immense opportunity is Of
fered Hawaii We will show the world
at the Frisco fair what we can do
and what we can raise. Everybody is
pleased. One great happy smile per-
vades Honolulu today. II there is a
man here who ever wanted to see the
fair in New Orleans, he dare not show
his hand. 1t is splendid! Hurray!"
There was general rejoicing about
town this morning upon receipt of the
cabled information that San Francisco
gets the Panama worlds fair in 1915,
it being highly appreciated among
merchants and other businessmen that
the hundreds of thousands of people
who will visit the Golden Gate city
during the great exposition will of
necessity send some of their number
on to the Hawaiian Islands. People
who can afford to travel to San Fran
cisco from the eastern States and from
Europe and elsewhere, will be able to
afford the extended trip to Honolulu
for the sake of seeing what manner of
country this is. And there are four
years of opportunity for booming and
boosting Hawaii, to be ready for the
9 reception OF the people bound to come,

If the legislature gives the desired
authority, it is the intention of the
supervisors to sidewalk or curb the
entire city, within a radius of three
miles or more of the postofice, and to
make the property owners pay for it.
It is not planned to require the laying
of complete sidewalks, but curbing will
be ordered and property owners will
be required to keep the sidewalks
clean. In many parts of the city they
are now overgrown with weeds.
