Cost More Then 100000
A eablegram TO Castle & Cooke, re-
eived yesterday, confirmed prior press
dispatches from San Francisco that
he Matson line would build a new
teamer She will be built at the Union
ron Works, San Francisco. The other
TatsOn steamers were built at Newport
Jews. BY building her at San Fran
SEQ the company will be able to watch
obstruction more closely, make changes
$ it wishes, and, altogether, turn out
l more satisfactory steamer than one
uilt across the continent. The bid
# the Union Iron Works for the Mat,
onia was $4,000 in excess of that
# the Eastern builders for her. At the
ime, Captain MatsOn said that he
.ould pay 100000 more to the Iron
Works, but he baked at $4,000. Her
otal cost was 81 100000 or $1,000, 900
md the statement that the line would
guild another MatsOn.a means the new
hip will cost more than the 100000
rice Indicated in press dispatches, es
'ecialIy since prices have advanced.
The new ship will be ready in fifteen or
,ixtePn months.

The name of the new ship is not
determined. but the name will begin
With ON" When the Matsonia was
launched it was said informally that
I'll MatsOn ships thereafter would have
names beginning with that letter, and
he ManOa was christened accordingly
There are Hawaiian names aDlenty b"

uiuht name her Maui, or Molokai, o.
