PANAMAN IS BACK
TOFINISH HER
LOADING

Bringing $500 tons OF sugar, from
island ports, with 1000 more to load
here to complete her cargo, the Amer
ican-Hawaiian steamer Panaman, Capt.
N. j. Kane, arrived from Hilo and
Kahului at o'clock this morning. and
will sail either tonight or at daylight
tomorrow morning for New York, via
the Straits of Magellan.
Captain Kane said this morning the
steamer will reach New York, unless
more bad weather is met, March 20.
The kona gale of last week has made
the Panaman a week behind her sched-
ule, as she was unable to work at
Kaanapali at all, and her loading at
Kahului was also delayed.
The Panaman was at Kaanapali
loading, week ago yesterday, and
had only taken on III tons when the
kona began to blow. Captain Kane
anchored his ship off that port, stay
ing there for two days and then steam
ing around to Kahului, where the
steamer took refuge until the gale
abated, after which Captain Kane took
his ship to Hilo.

of the "big men" locally are indulging
in much head-shaking and in many
doleful prophesies over the future of
sugar when the war ends. as well as
loud cautions that stocks are now too
high.
What basis this may have, coupled
with the rumor that the same pessim.
lists have lately unloaded large blocks
of stocks in the hope of breaking
prices. is not definitely known-but it
is said that the large unloading was
made with the hope of reducing prices
so that they might buy in again at
lower level before Congress takes
final action on the sugar tariff.

small and large investors, however.

offerings with prices climbing up the

That Honolulu Is not making any
extensive preparations for handling a
big tourist traffic is believed due very
much to the recent unsettled condi-
tons OF transportation. Last year II
was feared that the withdrawal of the
Pacific Mail liners would cut the
tourist trade down TO minimum. The
Great Northern service was hastily
arranged and whether IL is to be per
manent is not yet known. Consequent
~ hotel men say that on account OF
transportation uncertainties and the
fear that the war may end and the
tide Of tourists turn to Europe. no ex-
tensiye building plans now are justi-
fled. Members OF the Promotion Com
mittee do not agree with this. They
say that Honolulu fails to realize just
how fast Honolulu is becoming known
as desirable tourist resort, summer
and winter, and how 1t is taking the
people who used to go to the south or
to scme OF the Atlantic islands for
their annual outings.

ONCE SCHOOL JANITOR,
 NOW A MILLIONAIRE

It has often been said that from little acorns, sturdy oaks grow; such has been the success of C. w. Parker, of Abilene, Kansas.
 When a boy he left the farm and came to Abilene and secured job as ianitor, taking care of small village school house, for which he was paid a very small sum.
 One day an old-time merry go- round with a horse pulling it as mo- tive power, came to Abilene, and it was then that his delight to ride, after riding few times, he suggested to the owner his idea of using an engine to run the machine, but was laughed at for his efforts.
 So from that day on the began to build his way up in the ranks of man ufacturers. He designed a merry-go- round, the delight of young and old, and as a factory he used woodshed. After building his first machine, in order to sell more like it, he organ ized a small show and played mostly picnics and celebrations.
 Soon his machines became famous and he then began to receive orders faster than factory space would allow him to build. His time became so much occupied turning out work that he found it impossible to take his show on the road tours, so he then sent the shows out year after year, and every year would see a new idea in amusements bearing c. w. Par ker's stamp.
 He now owns a large factory with trackage for five large lengthy trains has five large shows and manufac- lures most of the amusements used in the United States at parks, fairs and carnivals.
 There is carried with the Southern Amusement Co. that shows here the week commencing Oct. p and con tinuing to Oct. 28, one of the finest riding galleries, and it was made by the one-time janitor, who now is a millionaire
