Glen Dickerson, who has been the
P. M. yardmaster at Alma for some
time, has been transferred to Edmore.
He has an engine and crew and they
are busy in the local yard every day.
Last Sunday there were thirty cars
of local merchandise in the Edmore
yards aside from one hundred and
seventy other loaded cars, and the
local freight handlers unloaded and
reloaded cars all day at the freight
house. George Wager, the big potato
dealer of Toledo, Ohio, was also here
and loaded five open cars with sacked
potatoes, which were covered with
straw and factory cloth. On account
of poor train service, these cars did
not leave Edmore until about the
middle of the week-Edmore Times.

CAR SERVICE AND PROFITS.

Honolulu, jan IS, 1918.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-There has been an interesting
case going on in California involving
the right of the Oakland Railways to
make special rates to suburban points.
The decision of the State Railroad
Commission in the cases involved will
be interesting reading for the suburb
antics who have been persuaded that
a branch line must return a profit.
1t has been contended in Honolulu
that providing the lines in Manoa,
Kaimuki or Puunui returned no profit
or were operated at a loss that these
lines should suffer a corresponding
reduction in service Such is not the
case if the California decision is to be
regarded as a precedent. Branch lines
must get all reasonable service pos
sible under the franchise as a whole.
For instance 1t has been held that
though Manoa gives most of the Will
der avenue traffic to the main line, yet
that branch must be run as Jerk
water, and Manoa be made a transfer
point instead of running the cars
through to Manoa and making Pawaa
the transfer line.
Here is the decision of the Commits
sion on this particular point:
During the afternoon session the

HEAVY RAINS FLOOD
EAST END OF CITY

For a short time yesterday after
noon this city was visited by one OF
the torrential downpours, that, no
matter how used the people here are
to sudden rains at most any old time,
caused a look of surprise to creep
over the face of. the oldest inhabi-
tant. ~
The rain in the city proper did not
last over an hour, but in that time
there was a large amount of water
came down. At one period of the
precipitation Beretania street was
flooded for its entire length from PHI
koi street to Alexander street with
the water rushing through the fences
and over the lawns on the makai side
of that street, and from mauka tor
rents were rushing into Beretan1a
street. i
At the height of the downpour
Pawaa Junction was flooded to such
an extent that passengers could not
make the transfer from one line to
another and were taken to the end OF
the line and returned.
The rainfall for the afternoon was
$50 inch, and for ten minutes in the
heaviest of the fall 80 inch came
down.
There being no wind with the rain
there was no damage reported. and,
on the whole, it is thought that the
lawns were done considerable good
by the flood waters

BREWERY EXPECTED
TO RAISE DIVIDEND

1t is expected on the street that the
dividend, of Honolulu Brewing and
Mailing Company will be Increased
to one per cent a month on February
l, which accounts for the advance OF
about three points in the stock in the
past few weeks. -
Even old gilt-edged WaimanalO has
reduced its dividend, but the cut is
only from 21a to 2 per cent. AS Wal
manalo stock is not on the market
once in ten years, this event has
nothing more than languid interest on
the street.
Todays stock sheet indicates lively
business between sessions in Onomea
stock and Hilo Railroad extension
bonds, with Onomea up an eighth
point. Oahu shows a decline of three
eighths for two blocks of 80 each.

after that body convenes for the extraordinary

of maintaining the effective work done by the
Promotion Committee and Secretary Wood. The
bylaws were carefully drawn, SO that there will
be no interference with the promotion work.
