$4,000 Is Cost
OF Jaeschke Job

Permanent repairs to the ex-Ger
man steamer Gouyerneur Jaeschke
win cost the United States shipping
board approximately $4,000.
Work on the vessel Is being prose
cuted rapidly and both the local u.
s. inspectors Of hulls and boilers and
the local representatives of the ship
ping board are confident she win be
able to leave for San Francisco under
he own power about July Is. -
Because her Teuton crew did q
Jaesehke's boilers 1t has been neces.
sary to re-tube every boiler and place
new crown sheets IN them. This has
made repairs great deal more ex.
pensive than on the Staatssekretar
Kraetke, which was repaired for
about $4,000. ~
The Honolulu Iron Works recently
imported 10 marine mechanics from
San Francisco because they could not
get men here to do the work. The
" orkmen were brought from the coast
under a 60-day contract. Half Of tho
time is now up.
Her stay Of three years In this port
as refugee, exposed to the weather,
so rotted the wooden boat deck Of the
Jaeschke that a workman last week
stuck his feet right through the plank
ing and almost fell all the way down.
A new boat deck 80 feet long Is now
being laid.
The Jaeschke Is being repaired at
the Inter-Island drydock. Drydock
Supt. J. Alex Lyle says there Is more
work to be done now than men to
do i. Skilled help Is scarce and the
situation is not likely to become much
better, he thinks.

acting general manager of the corpor.

Gedge said that although he has not

James A. Kennedy announcing the
closing up Of the transaction he is
quite sure the deal has gone through
successfully.
Concerning the price paid by the
InterIsland for the vessel, local wa.
terfront men today were Of the opin.
ion that the 100000 reported ID en-.
tirely too low. when ship values at
the present time are considered, and
that $200, 900 Il much likelier figure.
The Doris win probably bring from

This is the news brought to Homo.
lulu today by Capt. 8. Satow, Of the
Uchida Steamship Company, Ltd, Of
Kobe. ID s..E@.s
Capt. satow's steamer brought l..
400 tons Of cargo to this port from
Yokohama and Kobe. His through
cargo for San Francisco is 1000 tons,
local and overland freight
Strong northeasterly trade wtEds
and currents from the same direc-
ton made the freighter two days late
getting In, Capt. Satow said. Wind
and current were both against the
vessel, an unusual condition.
There Is an acute congestion Of
overland cargo awaiting shipment at
Yokohama and Kobe which. has pre-
vailed for the last three months,
said Capt. Satow. Tonnage Is ex-
tremely scarce owing to so many Jap
anese steamers having been chartered
for the transatlantic trade and taken
off the trans-Pacifie run. Thousands
of tons of freight await shipment.
$50 great is the accumulation Of
freight In Japan ports that the Jap
anese department Of communications
