means great deal for this port not
only in a business way but also in con-
nection with the tourist traffic.
At the present time it is well
known that the Canaoian-Australian
people do not boost Honolulu, this fact
being announced by William II. Hoogs

for the line are also handicapped IN
so far as they cannot tell Intending
shippers whether accommodation cant
he had until the steamer is alongside
the dock.
These things cause friction all the
time. added to which is the fact that
the boats are rushed in and out OF
the port and, as in the case Of the|
Zealan6ia's last trip, at times do not
allow any daylight for the passengers
at all,
