TEST Economy
Of CANAL

The Indra Steamship Company is
now making practical test of the
economy and efficiency of Panama ca.
nal as connecting waterway between
two oceans in routing several heavily
laden cargo steamers, including the
freighter Indrasamha, by the way of
Honolulu.
Today this vessel has been given
500 tons of bunker coal, sufficient to
carry it to Balboa. where additional
fuel will be taken. The Indrasamha
carries in, transit more than 5000 tons
of product from the Philippine islands
and Japan. Much of the cargo con-

cries. 49, -.
Captain + p. Jones' master, is max
ing his first visit to the Hawaiian is
lands. He is reported as saying that
the company, operating large fleet
of freighters, will continue to send its
ships to Honolulu as long as harbor
tolls are fair. -. .~... 49,
About 80 vessels are employed in
the Indra line service between the
east coast OF the mainland and Japan.
China and the Philippines. The Ind
rasamha is, the fourth vessel of the
line to take bunker coal at Honolulu.
I Officers in IndTa steamers, which
have called here lately, say that the
cost of the passage OF each ton of
cargo through Panama is practically
rs cents These figures are based on
calculations from returns for the first
three months CT the commercial ope-
ration of the waterway, during which
the cargo transported east and west
amounted to 1,079,521 tons.
The toll charge of S1.20 is levied on
each net ton, canal measurement, ON
loaded vessels, this register being
constant. The quantity of cargo that
may be slowed on ship is variable,
and as on the average the dead weight
cargo capacity of the ships passing
through the. canal has been largely in
excess of the net register, the burden
of the toll has been cOrrespondingly
reduced on the ships operation.
Steamship owners. say that the toll
has been readily absorbed and that
no complaints have been raised on
that score. The reduction in the rates
effected by the water route has been
manifestly advantageous as compared
with the previous rates.
The Indrasamha left Yokohama on
January 8. 1t met with some rough
weather while off the coast of Japan.
A sharp watch was maintained for
war vessels of a hostile power. The
Indrasamha will be despatched for
Panama and the east coast today.

of sincere congratulation from a large
circle of friends today over his pro-
motion from the ranks Of chief officer
to commander of vessel in the Aus
tralian service.
The Ventura landed about 800 sacks
of later mail from the mainland Ho-
nolulu passengers numbered 80 cabin,

The lighthouse tender Columbine,
which is now in Alaska, and the ten
der Kukui, which is at Honolulu, have
been ordered to shift stations. The
vessels are to meet at some point on
the Coast, probably San Francisco,
about the middle of next month, to
exchange masters, as well as some of
the other officers, before proceeding
to their respective stations. The Ku-

NEW CASTLE, Del, Oct. 11.-Pro-
fessor Howard T. Ennis. who assumed
charge of the New Castle Schools this
year is meeting with great success.
Every teacher is in hearty accord with
the superintendent and the Board of
Education has informed Prof. Ennis
that he is expected to conduct the
schools after his own ideas. Each
month a report is to be presented
showing the work of the schools.
Last year there was some friction
in the school staff and as a result
the efficiency of the schools was i'm
paired. Petitions we're circulated
asking that teachers in the High
School be relieved of their work.
As a result of the conditions the
Board of Education elected Professor
Ennis and two assistants. Professor
Ennis and Miss Hope Hill, assistant
principal, have since placed the State
curriculum in the schools, discipline
is being maintained and the pupils
are down to hard, solid work.
