The play shown by all four teams in the basket ball matches contested at the Hilo Armory Saturday evening has aroused a good deal of enthusiasm among basket ball fans and comment is being freely expressed regarding the games scheduled for Wednesday and. Friday evenings.

The Boarding School team demonstrated its superiority over the Picked Team which lined up against it on Saturday night, but tomorrow night there will be three of the Boarding School players in the Picked Team. Not only will this strengthen the Picked Team, but will enable the Boarding School to test its ability against some of its own members. Wm. Kualii, A. Kaaihili and M.

Ching, of the Boarding School, will be among those to play for the Picked Team, taking the places of Albert Ah Fook, Lionel Silva and J. A. C. Kennedy, who are on the reserve list.

Orient-Anyo Maru, Jan. 25. Australia-Niagara, Feb. 11. HUGE SAMPAN IS HERE TO OPEN LINE WITH ISLAND PORTS John Bohnenberg Arrives With Tenjin Maru, Which He Purchased to Inaugurate New Freight Service.

FIRST SAILING TO BE IN ABOUT ONE MONTH Produce From Kona and Kau Coast Towns to Be Brought Here in Exchange for Local Products. The large sampan Tenjin Maru, with John Bohnenberg, her new owner in charge, arrived in Hilo Bay Monday morning after a voyage from Honolulu. The trip from the capital was a rather loafing one, according to Mr. Bohnenberg, the weather being fine and the sampan proving herself a pleasant boat to voyage in. He brought a cargo of oil as ballast.

John Bohnenberg is about to embark on a venture in transportation which promises to put the coast towns in the Konas and Kau in regalar freight connection with Hilo. He tought the Tenjin Maru with that purpose in mind. She is a boat of tons net, gross 29 tons, classed as the largest under-sized boat in Government regulations. This empts the owner from employing a licensed engineer, which he thinks would be a prohibitive cost. He expects to operate the Tenjin Maru with two operators and two deck hands.

The Tenjin will have to go through some more repairs before she is ready for regular service, which Mr. Bohnenberg thinks will take about a month. Then he expects to start weekly sailings to the ports of the Konas and Kau. The towns he mentions are Mahukona, Kawaihae, Kailua, Napoopoo, Hokena, Hoopuloa, Punaluu and Honuapo. There is considerable produce along the Island farms which would supply the Hilo markets with a share of its vegetables and fruits if it could be got to market while it is fresh," said Mr.

Bohnenberg. "This I intend to do. The merchants of Hilo ought to have a better trade with the towns along the coast, with a boat making regular trips every week to take their goods to the buyers. With the sampan I can carry produce one way and supplies the other. Once the business is established I believe it will be agood thing all around." Mr.

Bohnenberg made application to Board of Harbor Commissioners while in Honolulu for use of the old boat landing at the mouth of the Wailoa River. "I do not expect any he said. "The landing will give me serious objection to the application," close connection with boats and the railway." Mr. Bohnenberg, while he has been engaged in contracting work for some time, was formerly a seafaring man and says the call of the surf is still in his ears. If the Tenjin Maru proves a success he intends to put on another boat, possibly one with a refrigerating plant to carry fresh meats and game into the city.

He edited the McKenna, of Honolulu, a sampan with refrigerating plant which comes as far as Maui for meat and produce and does a thriving business. U. S. ENVOY QUITS POST By The Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Jan.
