Hawaiian Pineapple Plant Ex-
poets Business Increase in
1918, Prepares For It

Work on a $4,000 project CT BALD
ing concrete oil tank, a concrete
loading and receiving platform and a
concrete chimney for the Hawaiian
Pineapple Co. cannery at Iwilei was
begun this morning; the permit for
the job having been issued by the city
building inspector late Saturday al
ternoon.
The tank will cost about $4,000 when
completed and will be the second tank
for the cannery. The old wooden
leading and receiving platform is be-
ing torn down and the new concrete
platform to be built will cost $15,-
900. The huge chimney for the can
merry, also to be built of concrete
will cost $1,000. The Pacific Engi-
neering Co has the contract.
The reason for the repairs, and the
adding Of further facilities, as ex-
planned by X. E. Barnes of the COM
pany this morning, is because the
cannery expects an increase in bust
ness next season and is therefore max.
ing preparations to handle the work.

CITY PURCHASER
MAY BE SETTLED
Peter Kanae, Boards Messen-.
ger, to Be Mentioned; Has !
Done Work. for Month

Members of the board OF Superyis-
-ors are undecided on. the question of
whether or not the city purchasing

two months -..-
Not only has he succeeded in
Strengthening out matters in that
field but he ha organized and
brought the work down to a system
attic basis so that the bills of pur-
chase which. under the old regime.
sometimes did not reach the auditors
office until late in the month, are
now on file, tabu.ated and checked
in the shortest possible time.
The entire nun cipal auditing de-

receiving a salary of a size suitable
only for a messenger there is
movement on foot to raise his salary
and give him full charge of the work.

RUSSIA TOPAY Il
BOND INTEREST
FROM ISSUE DAY

Further indication that the present
government OF Russia is rapidly plac-
ing itself on a second financial basis is
contained in cable received this morn
ing by the Bishop Trust Co. from the
mainland confirming the message Of
Saturday and stating that Russia will
also pay the back interest on the
ruble coupons of the imperial govern
ment internal bonds.
The message Saturday declared
that the present government would
assume the liability of the bonds only
so far as the principal and the inter-
est from this date on was concerned,
but it Is apparent from the message
this morning that the government has
decided to become fully responsible
for the bonds and pay all the indebted
ness of the old government.
This is welcome news to the local
holders of the bonds, il being estimat-
ed that over 5000, 00(, rubIes, worth
are in the hands of Honolulu finan.
cial men who. though glad enough to
hear Saturday that interest would be
paid in gold coin in New York and
that the Russian government would
redeem the bonds in 1926. will be
still further pleased TO know that tho
interest since the date Of issue in 1916
Will be paid up under the new deci-
sion.
Local men holding Russian bonds
who wish to collect this interest must
forward them to the National City
Bank in New York: the bonds to
reach their destination before Octo-
Der 30. The Bishop Trust Co. is for
wardfng the bends which have been
purchased through it and will send
bonds held by others who are not
their clients.
Owing to the presence Of Ger.
man raider in the Pacific holders Of
bonds viii be advised to insure their
property before the papers are In
trusted to the mails for delivery =
