The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-22

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Honolulans with fair sprinkling of
tourists. Manager Myers of Paia
plantation brought down tank Of
black bass and perch. He will stock
several ponds.
There was a fairly large cargo of
general merchandise under the matches
and eighteen automobiles. Ten of
them were for the Schuman Carriage
Co., five for Won Hamm- Young Co. and
three were brought by passengers.
The Sierra should bring a large CON
tingent down to view the Foloral Pa
rade. Already there have been about
eighty reservations for Chicago people
who will make the trip. The Sierra
will arrive here a day ahead of time
that is, on February %, thus enabling
those from the mainland who wish to
see this pageant to run down and back
in the shortest possible time.
Resuming the Australian Run.
The officers on the Sierra had no
fresh news to give with regard to the
resumption of the Sydney-San Fran
cisco run by the Oceanic company.
The Sonoma and Ventura have been
scraped and Clipped, and are now back
lat the Union Iron Works yards to
have the machinery replaced. This is
a long job, and will not be completed
for some time yet. The understanding
of the situation on board the Sierra is
that the Sonoma and Ventura Will
carry on the service between Sydney
and San Francisco, and that the Sier-
IA will stay as the local boat, thus
giving Honolulu a fortnightly service
to and from San Francisco. The Of
come from the agent at sydney, n. 6.
w, says that the old service of a yes
sci every three weeks will be resumed.
Thre is some talk that there will
be some new boats built by the
Oceanic company, but although the
matter seemed pretty definite some
months ago, nothing further has been
heard.
No Inter-lsland Freight on Christmas.
The Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company will not receive any freight
for its vessels on Christmas Day.
Chiyo Maru In and Out.
The r. X. K. S. S. Chiyo Marrf ar
rived Yesterday afternoon from the
Orient. and left this morning for San
Francisco.
The boat was sighted at half-past
eleven yesterday morning, but the
thoroughness of the inspection by the
quarantine officials held her outside
a long while, and it was not until after
three o'clock that she was alongside
the wharf.
The Chiyo Maru had a rough DAY
outside of Yokohama, but after that
the conditions were fine throughout,
and the usual program of sports ana
entertainments was held. Out of the
passenger list, Honolulu got six from
the cabins, eleven from the second
class, and 1872 from the steerage. This
latter number included twenty-tour
Filipinos, los Japanese, five Chinese
and fifteen Russians, There were
1871 tons of cargo for here, chiefly ori-
entail foodstuffs, and forty-eight bags
of mail.
There are fifty-siX in the cabins 60
ing through, sixty in the second-class
hand 1OI in the steerage. The through
cargo is a valuable one, totaling over
1900 tons. This includes 1872 bales
of raw silk, worth about $469,2OO, silk
goods, porcelain ware, as we'll as a
lot of general cargo.
On the way to San Francisco, Christ
mas Day will be fittingly celebrated.
In addition to the usual excellent din
ner that the company provides, a
Christmas tree is in store ready to
be fitted up.
Two Japanese stowaways were dis
