DR.. Raymond Replies to Complaints.

Alaskan Brings no Mail

Reported complaints from shippers
at and about Makcna to the effect that
the manager of the Raymond ranch |
had torn down government property at |
the Makena landing and thereby him
dered shipping at Makena, were an
swered this morning by DR.. J. H. Ray |
mond, who denies that any of the |
buildings on or about the landing are
government property and that the
work which his manager has been do
ing there will affect the public use of
the landing.
1T has been alleged" said he that
in complaint made public by Mars
ton Campbell, that we have torn down
a warehouse to the detriment of other
interests at Maizena, and it is implied
in this complaint that We have been
destroying government property Not
only the buildings, but the landing it
self and all the improvements about
the slip, are the property of the Ray
mond ranch and are used by the public
as a convenience. 1t is not govern
: ment but private property The build
ing to which the complaints refer was
a shed on the wharf, which has been
used as a warehouse and which was al
most useless in its former position.
The manager of our ranch tore this
building down so that it could be NOV

it would be available to the general
public and upon this the complaints
are founded"
cHlYo's QUICK DISCHARGE.
In discharging her unusually large
Honolulu cargo of 1855 tons the T. K
K. liner Chiyo Maru, which arrived
from the Orient yesterday afternoon,
did record work. The stevedores work
ed in full force last night by arc light
until II o'clock so that the big steam
err could get away this morning on
schedule time The Chiyo Maru sail
ed this morning for San Francisco at
10 o'clock, carrying 236 through pas
sengers of all classes and four tour
lists from the Orient who had stopped
persons were G. w. Shirley, Miss A
e. Graham, p. NJ. Benney and Mss
Pearl Boggs. The Chiyo Maru carried
the last mail for the Coast which will
leave this port for eleven days. The
Lurline takes the next consignment of
mail to the mainland March 10.
ALASKAN BRINGS NO MAIL.
In spite of the fact that the mails
into this port from the mainland are
few and far between, the San Fran
cisco postal authorities overlooked an
opportunity in the coming of the Alas
kan to send the islands their share
of intelligence from the outside world
and the big freighter, which left San
Francisco for Honolulu direct day
after the departure of the Shinyo Ma
ru and quite some time before the
Siberia, which will get in here next
Monday, brought no mail.
The Alaskan had more than 1000
| lOllo VI llVltollI LII NAllo pOi - ~" ~ ,
much of it from New York, and small
shipment of sundries from Liverpool,
Included in the cargo were 600 tons
of tin plate for local canneries and
400 tons of pipe, from the Atlantic
coast, for Honoluluis water works.
The Alaskan YVES originally sched-
uled to make the usual run to the
Sound but has been in drydock in
San Francisco being overhauled and
came directly to this port to get the
sugar shipments awaiting her. She
will take 1900 tons of sugar here and
lwill go to Kahului March 10, thence
to Hilo and finally to Port Allen to
load sugar. She will leave the Kauai
port March 10 for Salina Cruz. The
Virginia will leave the Sound for Ho,
nolulu March 20 and will arrive here
March 30 The Columbian left Hilo
last night for Salina Cruz with a full
cargo of sugar
M. TURNER TO DRYDoCK.
The NJ. Turner, lumber schooner
now discharging at the Allen & Robin
son wharf, will finish dischargng this
week and will go into drydock Satur
day for a general scraping, painting
and overhauling. When the Turner
returns to the Coast she will take g
? cargo of lumber to Mexican ports and
her owners want to get her in first
e, class condition before she goes on this
trip.
PROSPER TO WILLlPA.
! Through the belated delivery of a
cable from the owners of the schoon
? er Prosper, Captain Neil Murchison
nearly ran off on a wild goose chase
i. yesterday which would have cost his
company double harbor fees and would
3 have lost him about twenty days time
His standing orders were to sail from
this port TO Port Townsend and for
, that harbor he cleared and made ar
, fragments to be towed out at 4 o'clock
