Mr.. Z. ID. Tenney, the vice-president
and general manager, of Castle &
Cooke, Ltd, has spent the greater por-
ton of his business life in the Ha-
waiian Islands where he has for
years been interested in the shipping
business, his interest dating back to
the time when sailing ships were a
prominent factor in this business. Dur
ing this time Castle & Cooke, Ltd.
controlled number of well-known
vessels plying between San Francisco
and Honolulu, and also ships of the
types of the "Tillie E. Starbuck, "Ha-
waiian Isles" and George Curtis"
which vessels made many voyages to
the various maritime ports of the
world in the interest of the above
mentioned firm. While the life of Mr..
Tenney has been closely identified
with the sugar industry and with the
agricultural and financial development
Of Hawaii, 1t is said of him that he
has never lost his keen interest in the
shipping business, and with the. pass
ing of sailing ships this interest has
been transferred to the steamship
business and the same keen interest
has been displayed by him in the de-
velopment of the steamship business
as has been displayed in other lines.

with the Matson Navigation Company

Sacramento Paper Tells of the
Voyage Made by Wealthy
Men as Part of Crew

One cent month as wages! No.
this is not the story of the effect of
the Democratic government upon the
workingmen of the country, but the
tale of within of the millionaires
who wished to make the trip through
the Straits of Magellan on what is
probably one of the final trips by that
route by a first-class liner. says the
Sacramento Union, F. B. Adams, until
few short years ago millionaire
wholesale grocer of Sacramento and
now Cle of Belvedere's colony of the
retired rich, and Colonel Sam Parker,
HonolElu's celebrity, were the two
wealthy men who served on the crew
of the Matsonia, on her maiden trip
from New York to this coast. And the
worst of it is that neither of the two
has collected the cent and one third
which is due him for his labors during
the voyage Of Al days from New York
to San Francisco.
Adams acted as purser, but as the
ship carried no passengers, it is posi-
BILE that his wages were too high at
one cent a month. Colonel Parker was
freight clerk officially, but as the liner

age, and then took on no cargo, it is
conservative to state that the Homo
lulan was not suffering from overwork
or neurasthenia when he landed in
San Francisco.
F. B. Adams, who for SO years was
a wholesale grocer of this city and
who amassed a fortune in that time,
had made three trips around the Horn,
one in early days when he was lad,
but he had never gone through the
straits, and knowing that the opening
of the canal would prohibit his travel
ing that route on a passenger steamer,
he seized this opportunity. Neither he
nor Parker have suffered financial re-
verses which would make their labOrs
necessary to ward off want, but the
Matsonia had not acquired her passen-
ger license, and to ship at all they
were compelled to sign as a part Of
the crew.
Late last fall Adams and his wife
hurried East and after a short visit
with relatives went on board the Mat

vessels, and while these vessels were
generally operated in the Hawaiian
Islands service there were exception;

Matson flag became familiar in al
most every maritime port OF the

In some OF the states the TOut-
ing Of certain portions of the
highway has not been settled.
The purpose is to build it along
the lines Of least resistance, as far
as is compatible with route that
is intended to include striking
scenic effects. 1t is probable that
through the Middle West the
highway will follow the old
Santa Fee trail.
Other routes have. I under
stand, been under consideration
but in view of the excellent
natural advantages of what may
be called the southern route, here
described. it offers the clearest
and most natural passage for We
hicular travel from sea to sea. 1t
should prove the ideal ocean-to-
ocean route.
This unique highway, when
completed. will be of value not
alone to motorists. Settlers and
farmers. merchants, traders and
freighters will also be immensely
benefited. for statistics show that
under our present system OF
roads it costs the American
farmer twenty-three cents per
ton to haul his goods one mile.
In Europe, where the system OF
roads is much better. because OF
steady improvements for centu-
ries, it costs the farmer but seven
cents per ton to haul his goods
one mile.
IS NOT the justification for the
public building Of great traffic
highway across the continent in
1914 (and thereafter) as COM
plete as was the justification for
the Government construction of
the first overland railway nearly
half a century ago?
