COUNTING ON
new ship

Manager John Drew CT the steamship
department OF castle & Cooke, repre-
senting the Matson line, refuses to
take seriously the report that an in
dependent steamship line is to be es-
tablished between Honolulu and coast
ports in competition with the lines
now in service
Not that Mr. Drew denies that there
is something behind the rumor Int he
does not take seriously the belief in
certain quarters that such line could
offer genuine competition to the Mat
son and Oceanic companies. Mr. Drew
says the starting of such line viii
not interfere with the plans of the Mat
son company for new commodious
steamer for the Honolulu-San Fran
cisco service, which was announced in
the Star-Bulletin after Mr.. Drew had
arrived from the coast December %,
1914.
There are shipping men on the local
waterfront who are of the firm belief
that the proposed steamship line to
the United States is being boosted by
the Pacific Mail in reality to make
transfer from the American flag to-
the Chinese flag of the Pacific Mail
beats an easy matter for the latter
company This was rumored on the
mainland several weeks ago, the
change to take place when the sea-
mems act goes into effect in Noyem-
Der.
In any event if the Pacific Mail
makes its exit from local service be
tween Honolulu and San Francisco by
changing its registry such a move
would enable the Matson line to add
soon after a good, fast and commodi-
Gus steamer to its present service, re-.
CARELESS of any eut-rate steamship
lines, according to the opinion of ship
ping men.

DIFFICULTY TO
PUT TREATY ON
WORKING BASIS
Japan and China Face Many
Consultations Over PraC-
teal Details

Now that the Sino-Japanese treaties
are signed and the notes ratified and
exchanged, the Japanese and Chinese
governments will be called upon to
consult each other as TO the practical
application Of the provisions Of the
treaties and the notes, says the Japan
Advertiser Of Toxic. The Foreign Of
flee states that the authorities who
were in charge of the negotiations
after their strenuous work will be
given breathing space before they
are set to work again on the line
suggested. .... ~.
Ii is believed that many consulta-
tions Will have to be made as to de-
tails. For instance, in the case of
Shantung province, the German privi-
leges which Japan is to take over,
have not been defined. Germany pos
sessed various privileges in connec-
ton with the Shantung railway, which
Japan will doubtless take over, but
Germany also enjoyed privileges in
connection with the Tientsin-Pukow
railway, and the privileges regarding
the Shantung railway may not be OF
much profit to Japan unless she at the
same time obtains the privileges OF
the Tientsin-Pukow railway The
question of, the branch lines of the
Shantung railway will give very little
trouble. = VI. " =. ! ~. 49,.
May Take Telegraph Right.
Germany obtained concession soon
after the Boxer trouble to lay cable
line from Tsingtau to Shanghai and
another from Tsingtau to Chefoo.
This concession may be taken over by
Japan. Germany also possessed the
privilege of a post office and tele-
graph system along the Shantung rail-
way and in Tsinan and Weihsien.
Germany had 20 per cent hare OF the
customs receipts at Tsingtau Some
of the goods were free. This matter
will have to be settled, as also the
questions involving the officials to be
employed in the customs service, al
though this question of the customs
service is mentioned in the treaty it
self with other matters,
AS for the open ports in Shantung,
the japanese government would watch
the natural development of the prov
ince and decide what points should be
chosen as open ports. At present
Tsinanfu and Chefoo are open ports.
To these will be added Tsingtau, |
Lungkow, and Chutsung, as already |
decided, and doubtless others.
The policing of the Shantung rail-
way has not been definitely settled. |
Germany contributed toward the fund |
for maintaining the Chinese police.
and German advisers were employed |
In supervisory capacity.
In Article no detailed procedure

cases was provided. But it is the In

IMPoUNDED WATERS AND ME-
LARA.

Those parts of the country where
the prevention of malaria and mos
quito reduction constitute acute pro-
lens are often faced with peculiar
conditions which must be carefully
considered before adopting any rem.
edial measures. One of these prob
lens now being studied by the Unit.
ed States public health service is the
possible relation of certain impounf-
ed waters which furnish the necessary
power for important industries to the
spread of malaria.
The many phases of this situation
have been discussed in number ~
reports, one of which has just been
published by the public health serV-
ice. This article deals with the
Coosa river in Alabama, the impound'
ed water extending for about twenty
miles upstream from the dam. In the
area examined, the topography is sucn
that very little of the floating debris
is cast upon the shore. Pine trees
are very numerous, not only on the
banks and flooded areas but also in
the valleys of streams and creeks
that flow into this artificial lake.
One of the most interesting obser-
vations made was that the leaves Of
these pine trees, either when they
fell into the water or were carried
into it by streams, collected into
groups and afforded excellent pro-
lection for mosquito larvae, forming
in fact the most important local fac
tor in the production of mosquitoes,
and being far more influential in this
respect, at least in the late autumn,
than floating logs. AS observed else
where it was noticed that whenever
feeding minnows were abundant, they
disposed of all mosquito larvae and
thus prevented the development of

THE RETAILERS PROFIT.

In the current issue OF Farm and
Fireside, Herbert Quick, the editor,
| writes an interesting little article
about middlemen. Commenting on
the fact that the business research
bureau of Harvard university is study
ing the retail business to see whether
it is efficient or inefficient He says:
"On the whole the retailer works
for less money than almost any other
member of society. If he is unskilled
he proba bly, works for less than moth
ing, and fails Many retailers do not
keep books, nor charge their business
with their own salaries, nor with the
rent OF the buildings they occupy if
they happen to own them.
Most OF the trade of the world is
done by retailers, and always will be.
The consumers cannot ask their SER
wants to work for less than nothing.
and good workmen will not do so. 1t
would be better for all of US If the
retail business of the country were n
the hands exclusively of men who
would know whether they were max
ing money or not; and decidedly bet
ter if all were making fair profits.
The retailers are our servants, since
they do for us work which we could
not do for ourselves. 1t is not good
for any of us when the retail trade Is
disorganized by the presence in it of
very many men who are losing money
or are so inefficient that they do not
know whether they are losing or not.
THE Harvard people have worked
out for some sorts OF trade standard
sets of books by the keeping of which
storekeepers may know just how they
stand. Let us hope that their work
may not be for naught. The farmers,
who have received great deal of adj
vice as to how their business should
be run, are able to assure the store
keepers that while it is sometimes I'M
pleasant to be told Of shortcomings 1t
is frequently beneficial.
"The retailer is very useful per-
son. If university research bureau
can tell him how to become more use

The wonderful cures that are being

PUBLIC SENSE OF NEATnEss.

The following editorial from the
Quincy Journal, in view of the gen.
eral cleanup campaign that IS to
take place in this city soon, is peril
nent:
There are many people who are
thoughtful for the appearance of
their own home places, yet who are
absolutely careless as to the general
appearance Of their town.
Comparatively few persons, who
have any sense of cleanliness at all,
would litter up their own home
grounds by throwing refuse out Of
the windows. Yet the same people
will scatter paper bags and other
waste matter about the streets CT
their town. Then they complain
against the local officers il the place
is not kept in neat condition.
Most people also feel some pride
about keeping up home places. They
will take pains not to run over grass
bankings, and will scrupulously fol-
low paths But when they go down
town they will cut corners, gradually
wearing down plots of grass, and give
the town an unfinished and rundown
air. No matter how much money a
town spends to keep its public ways
in good shape, it will never have a
neat and tidy appearance unless its
citizens cooperate
People should feel a positive sense
OF shame in throwing away anything
that would make their streets look
unattractive.
In some places boys and girls are

trained to pick up waste paper that
Is flying about the streets. With u
lot OF youngster active in that way,
not merely to remove evidences OF
other peoples disorder. but not to
make any of their own, it is aston.
ishing how towns appearance can
be transformed.
Allowing public streets to remain
in disorderly condition must hurt
the reputation of town. In these
days Of automobiles town receives
visitors constantly from far AID near.
Residents of other cities come in a
critical spirit. They are quick to see
evidences of public disorder, and they
bear away the news that this or that
town is dirty.
Spring is the time for cleaning up.
Let US all resolve to keep the streets
neat this season!

If a man shows a disposition to pro-
vide for his old age, don't discourage
him by saying he is stingy; our most
pitiable tragedies are old people who
are poor and neglected. Thus says
the Ottumwa Courier, and it states 4
great truth. The old are too often
neglected and there are few but who
can recall specific instances where
age and sorrow have gone hand in
hand. A bank account is mighty good
protection against old age. Try it. 1t
yields 100 per cent satisfaction.
