cents and for ten pounds the increase should no,
exceed three cents. And so with other food com
lmodities. 1t can be seen at once that on tin Of
canned goods which weighs one pound the in.
creased freight amounts to one-quarter Of cent
To add cent to the price would give the mer-
chant three hundred percent profit on his extra
freight payment H
With wearing apparel it is the same II shoes
weigh ihc pounds pair, and this would certain
iy allow for the weight of the packing cases also
there would be 400 pairs of shoes to the ton An
added FIVE dollars ton in freight rates would
mean that each pair OF shoes cost the shoe dealer
one cent and quarter more A two cent rise in
price would amply compensate him. 1N
On suit OF clothes the added freight will be
less than five cents. On underwear, on linens,
-cottons, woods and cloth generally the added
freight amounts to only very small fraction Of a
cent yard. And so we might go on through a
long list Of commodities and articles.
Let the consumer remember that the added
freight cost on ten pounds OF any goods where
the rate has been increased five dollars, is only
two and half cents, on single pound is only one
quarter OF one cent and let the consumer make il
clear to the dealer that he knows what the In
crease is and means and there will be no undue
raising of prices with the blame placed upon
higher shipping rates" .r1l1E
1t is probable that this warning is unnecessary
here r Honolulu but it does no harm to sound It.
PROTECTING because of the increase in freight
rates is not to be tolerated s424

ONE BID FOR MAUPS
PIOSTOFHCE BUILDING

So far as is now known, only one
bid was fled for the new postoffiee
building in Wailuku. 1t was by d. C,
Lindsay, for q wooden structure next
to the present postoffice, completely
furnished with modern lock boxes, etc.
q; 1t has, been the intention of the Maui
Bank, Ltd; to tender for the postoffice.
They had in mind the erection of new
home for,themselves on the lot at the
corner Of Main and Church STREETS,
remodeliing and turning over the pres.
emit premises of the bank to the govern
ment for postoffice uses. Owing to the
high, and increasing, cost of material,
however, il was deemed business wis
dom to postpone building for awhile.
The tender Of Mr.. Lindsay went to
the inspector at Honolulu. 1t is as,
sumed that it will haye to be submit,
ted to Washington, in which event
there will be a further delay.-Maui

.COLDURN GETS TEN
DAYS TO ANSWER


b.. .
John 7. Colburn, whose trusteeshiI
in the matter of the estate of David
Kalakaua Kawananakoa and Helen Ii
liuokalani Kawananakoa was attacked
about the time that his name figured
in the preliminary contest over the
Queens win, was given ten days in
a court order filed yesterday to answer
charges set forth in the document fled
by the master, G. $. Davis, November
22 last. IL
The minor children for whom Col.
burn has been acting as trustee are
children Of the late Prince David Ka.
wananakoa, brother of Prince Kuhio,
in the recent report Of the master,
which Is an amended report, Colburn &
removal is recommended. A further
recommendation made is that he be
ordered by the court TO make a full
accounting Of all matters pertaining
to the property which has been un.
der his control for long term Of years
and particular recommendation asks
far an accounting Of an apparent dis.
erepency in the records of the proper.
~ w auVuth pAOtOOVs ..,..
An allegation Of the amended report
is that Colburn has neglected TO file a
bond Of $1,000 he was ordered by the
court to give some time ago. The
court is urged to appoint some respon-
sible person or preferably trust com.
pany to succeed to the trusteeship.
II is stated that he should be charg-
cd some $37,290, less certain commits.
sions which he may claim as trustee,
and it IN alleged that records of the
estate show that he has but $26, $50.
In this connection the amended re;
port says;
: - The trustee has in no way shown
that he has in his possession or control
any further sum than the said sum of
S26,65O. He should be required to
promptly account for the difference be-
tween the said $26,850 and the $37, 29O
(less whatever commissions the court
allows him, which win be some SIC, 900.
The trustee has not in-any way shown
that he has this amount or any amount
approximating 1t on hand or under his
control" =. ..E..,t, ...I.-.,.' s..s
