SPECIAL SHIPPING
MATSON Liners
Will Bring
HUNDREDS

The Matson Navigation Company
face the prospect of a banner passen-
ger business during the summer and
fall season. Such is the prediction
from officers IN the Matsonia, arriv-
ing from the Coast this morning.
Hundreds of travellers are booked
at the San Francisco office insuring
full complement for practically all
liners leaving the Coast port during
the next six months.
While the Matsonia was not crowd
ed to its capacity, it brought 1874 cab
in and II steerage passengers. Cap
tain Charles Peterson was favored
by fine weather. The gales which
have served to delay the Wilhelmina
on its homeward voyage assisted the
Matsonia. The Matsonla passed the
Wilhelmina Saturday, while passen-
gers were at lunch.
A notable item in the cargo to be
landed at Honolulu were 80 automo.
biles and trucks. The vessel will
steam to Hilo Thursday evening to
deliver 1900 tons of cargo and a num-
Ter of machines. A five-ton lift to an
island plantation reached destination.
The Matsonia landed 399 sacks of
mail. It's passengers included many
people prominent in social, business
and professional circles from along
the Coast.
