MORE THAN A PRIVATE MATTER.

III is true that the freight on which any steamship
line running 10 Honolulu must live is concentrated
IN few hands yet the subject OF communication
between territory Of this size and the mainland is
more than private matter between few shippers
and one steamship company"
There Is whole volume of truth in this com
ment made by President Hagens of the Carni-
rnl company at meeting of the Carnival -di-
rectorsy yesterday.
The subject of adequate traffic communica-
ton between Hawaii and the mainland is the
city's affair, the territory's affair, the whole
peoples affair. 1t is not the affair of env one
bnsiness or of any one group Of businessmen.
Particularly is it public affair in its rela-
ton to the d-Pacifc Carnival Hawaii is
ADVERTISING this Carnival abroad spending
thousands of dollars tosadvertise it. We are
asking the world Is tourists. TO come here. And
ihey have Alright TO expect adequate transpor-
taiion facilities
The discussion of the Carnival directors en-
phasizes the extreme need for speed in getting
notion of some sort to guarantee this commun-
~ against passenger traffic congestion just
when congestion will hurt us worst. The Star
bnlletin believes the solution can be reached
by cooperation with the American lines, but
the businessmen of Honolulu have to be up and
'lnstiing, and they can do all of that hustling
On the theory that steamer communication here
IS private matter between one steamship line
md few shippers.

FOR A MUNICIPAL BUILDING.

honOlulu, II. H., Aug. 20, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: There has been considerable
talk in the newspapers in regard TO
a county building. For the sake OF
discussion. permit me to suggest the
site covered by the two-story brick
building adjoining the police station,
occupied by Bruce Cartwright and
others. the building occupied by F. A..
Schaefer & Co., at the corner OF Kaa-
hufnanu and Merchant streets. and the
wooden building belonging to Mrs. Al
bert Jaeger on Kaahumanu street.
The ground covered by these buildings
would make almost square and is an
excellent location for county build
ing. II would be adjacent to the po-
lice station and opposite the postof-
flee, in a central locality, and to my
way Of thinking It would be far bet
ter site than any as yet proposed. The
buildings on these properties are none
of them expensive and II Il is possible
to purchase this site the buildings
thereon would not mean large ex.
penditure for improvements.
Very truly yours,
TAXPAYER.

backed by the territorial government, have
made arrangements to ship the fresh product
weekly to this coast. The agentin charge of
the opening shipments states that fresh pine
apples will cost the consumer only six cents a
pound. Retailers can sell pineapples from
fifteen to twenty-five cents apiece and make a
good profit.
This method of disposing of the Hawaiian
pineapple crop has been established because
of the growing size of the crop and the low
prices paid by the Gamers. Probably the in
dustry has gone beyond the needs of the can
ners and prices naturally have dropped to a
minimum.
Fresh fruit always appeals to the consumer
hut, in this case, i is doubtful if these ship
menfs will compete detrimentally with the
canned pineapple A pineapple is not like a
pear or an apple in its adaptability to ripening
conditions Voyage ripened pmeapples are
liable TO be dry and woody because necessarily
they are picked before they are ripe while the
canned article is taken ripe from the field. 1t
sounds like heresy to express preference for
canned fruit as opposed to the fresh article,
hut, in the case Of pineapples, one may be
excused. 2

WINNING OVER BULGARIA.

Though it is announced from Berlin that
Bulgaria and Turkey have signed treaty
which guarantees that the Bulgars will not take
up arms against the Tentons and their Otto
man allies, the general impression in European
diplomatic circles undoubtedly is that ulti-
mately Bulgaria will join Britain, France,
Russia, Italy and Serbia.
Probably the world at large will never know
the inside story of the statecraft that is COM
posing the jealous differences among the Balkan
states and influencing them TO join hands with
the Quadruple Entente at a moment when Ger
many holds most Of the honors of war. But it
is a willy, far-seeing and powerful statecraft.
TO win Bulgaria s assistance at time when
German armies are tramphng across Warsaw
and Kovno, and Petrograd already hears the
thunder of their marching feet, will be no small
triumph for the anti German. diplomats To
secure Buigaria's aid means that Serbia must
be persuaded to give up territory she bought
with blood during the second Balkan war;
Greece and Rumania must be placated; the
delicate nicely Doubtless the Teutons will say
that Bulgaria sells herself for, coin, and doubt
less an advantageous bargain is what moves
Gar Ferdinand, but it will be remembered
that it was precisely this sort, of bargaining
that Germany and Austria sought fruitlessly
to drive with Italy. Austria, at the instance
of Ambassador Won Buelow and others, offered
to give large territorial concessions to- Italy if
King Emmanuel would maintain neutrality.
Italy refused the bargain. The Entente powers
have to make Bulgaria s bargain so tempting
it cannot be refused.
Apparently Providence is not always on the
side of the heaviest battalions. Occasionally
providential aid is on the side of the ablest
diplomats.

In spite Of the fact that Americ,

In spite of the fact that American
women have been wearing furs during
the summer, the fur trade of the world
is in a bad way. This, of course, il
the result of the European war. It is
estimated hat there are now on hand
in the fur concerns in London some
$4,000 600 muskrat furs from North
America, 100000 skunk skins, 54,-
600 Australian opossum skins, 1877
600 civet skins, $4,000 fox skins and
1880 polecat skins. London cannot
dispose of this enormous number Of
pelts, nor can Leipzig avail itself Of
them. The heavy loss which the war
has caused the fur trade is indicated
by the fact that the price in Europe
last year for a perfect black fox pelt
was $3.50, and now is 500. The cot
ton trade, which has been complain
ing loudly Of the effect Of the war, has
not been hit nearly as hard as thu
fur trade.
