remarks about the big drubbing that
our party received, and the drubbing
that certain elements of the party re-
ceived at the hands of its own mem
bers who have ideas of their own.

WILHELMINA HAS
1850 BAGS MAIL

Santa Claus will arrive on the Mat
son liner Wilhelmina Tuesday morn
ing He has with him 1850 bags OF
Christmas mail, the first big despatch
TO reach Honolulu. Some Christmas
mail arrived on the Shinyo Maru yes
terday, but it was a small despatch,
5S4 bags. .
The Wilhelmina's despatch, while
big, is not so large as the mail she
brought on December 81. 1915, when
she arrived with 1858 bags, SO more
than she will bring Tuesday morning.
1t is believed by the postoffice that
considerable mail was held for the
Great Northern, leaving San Francis
co at 4 o'clock this afternoon, two
days later than the Wilhelmina. She
will arrive a week from today and
will probably have 500 or 500 bags,
including much Christmas mail from
Los Angeles, which port she will
leave at ) O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
Although the Wilhelmina brought
the record Christmas mail last year,
the Oceanic steamer Sierra, which ar.
rived December 13, 1915. was close
second, as she brought 1914 bags.

CAPT. YOUNGREN
IS INDICATED

Because it was the first time he
had been called before the inspectors
in SO continuous years of sea service,
the license of Capt John o. Youngren
of the Matson steamer Enterprise,
which had been suspended for 80 days
by the San Francisco local inspectors
of hulls and boilers, was returned to
him by Supervising Inspector John X.
Bulger, to whom the Matson skipper
appealed.
According to the San Francisco
Chronicle of December 5, Bulger on
the previous day reversed the deci-
sion OF inspectors James Guthrie and
Joseph Dolan in the case of Capt.
Youngrea and restored the latter's Ii
cense. Youngren's license was sus.
pended for 80 days, December 2, by
the inspectors because the fire hose
aboard his vessel was not connected.
He appealed the decision to Bulger
Bulger said the offense did not JUS
tify suspension and that Capt. Young
rem should only have been reprimand-
ed. as this is his first time before
the inspectors in 80 years of continu.
Gus sea service.
The Enterprise runs on regular yoy-
ages between San Francisco and Hilo.
She called here once last year but
has not been at this port since.
