Government to Build
New Hawaiian Ports

HONOLULU. - Congress has voted
and the War Department has allocated
more than $250,000 for harbor work In
Hawaii during the next few months.
The largest single item is $4,000 for
enlargement and development Of the
1arbor of Kahului. principal port of
the island OF Maui. While Honolulu
remains the busiest port of the Ha-
waiian Archipelago in point OF ton
mage, other harbors are doing q stead
lily larger volume of business. Several
of these have had to be developed to
accommodate ocean-going liners. which
up to a few years ago seldom had oc-
casion to visit any other port but
Honolulu.

SHANGHAI.-Witha view to assist

.A TOUR MANAGER :,
 TELLS OF TALK ON BOARD SHIP
Princess Louise Calls on Way from Vancouver
 to Skagway

What interests tourists to Alas ka the most?"
 Casper J. Miller of Cleveland, O., who is in charge of a C'asper-Mil- Ter excursion party aboard the steamship Princess Louise, repeated "a question that had been put to him in the lounging salon of the vessel while she lay in port last night.
 "The weather" he answered un- hesitatingly. The scenery is a cause of wonder to most adults, the varied natural resources attract attention from the majority of business men, floating icebergS porpoises and an occasional whale delight children, but the weather commands the interest of all.
 Always Under Discussion
 Tt is under discussion at some place on the ship by some per sons from the time when the first two passengers get up in the morning until the last two go to bed at night-what it has been, what it is, what it will be. It is matter on which everybody, old and young, is frequently expressing an opinion.
 "Of course the state of the wea- ther, good or bad, often determin- es whether the voyage is pleasant or disappointing
 Weather, by the way, is mat ter of concern not only on ships but everywhere else. It is fac tor of importance to more persons in more places more often than possibly any other one thing. am sure"
 Interrupted by Passenger MT. Miller was interrupted by a passenger who was getting off at Juneau to stay over while the ves- sel called at Skagway.
 q shall come aboard again when the boat returns here from Skag- way and go back with you to Van- couver," said the passenger, ad- dressing the tour manager and aft CT the two had shaken hands, and as the passenger was turning to take his leave, he added
 "I hope you have nice day to- morrow"
  The Princess Louise, Capt. A Sla- ter and Purser A. G. Barker, bound from Vancouver, B. C., to Skag- way, arrived in Juneau at 5:30 last evening and remained until mid night. She brought north 143 pas sengers, of whom 110 are round- trip tourists.
 One person, Charles F. Lanwer- meyer from Waukegan, IL, disem- parked at this port. The vessel will be back here Fri day morning on her return voy- age south.

 The tug Finch of the Finch Sal wage Company is also reported there in an endeavor to salvage the engine of the Northern for the insurance company.
 Officials here are not certain as to what action can be taken and it is supposed the Alert has been sent there merely to prevent trouble.
