TACOMA 40 HAWAII
G. G.. Chandler, General Agent Of
the Northern Pacific, has brilliant
scheme on hand. It will be presented
to the Puget Sound and Alaska
Steamship Company, Of which he is
the first general passenger agent,
and quite likely will be success.
His idea is to run boat for about
six months In the year between
Tacoma and the Sandwich Islands.
The boat to carry about 200 passen-
gers The expense for trip for
thirty days could be put as low as
$50 to 5000 per passenger, and
every expense of the tourist during
that time would be borne by the
steamer. The tourists could enjoy
the beauties of Hawaiian scenery, by
making u thorough tour of the ISL
ands. This would solve the problem
of what to do with the Alaskan
steamers during the winter months,
and give the people of the snow
bound Eastern countries chance to
enjoy the balmy climate of your
lovely Hawaii The plan is to be
presented by Mr.. Chandler to the
Puget Sound and Alaska Steamship
Company at its next meeting
SUGAR MATTERS.
According to a correspondent,
beet-sugar making is grand success
in Utah and that territory is no
longer dependent on the San Fran
cisco market for its supply. This
will make quite cut into the Central
Pacific's Utah traffic receipts. A
correspondent to the Salt Lake Tri-
bune from Lehi says that he had
just received word from the sugar
factory that they were loading car
of sugar for Cunnington & Co., of
Salt Lake. The order was given at
the celebration of laying corner
stone and the order was enclosed and
sealed up in the stone. The factory
is producing an exceedingly fine
grade of sugar
Raymond Loranz, United States
Inspector of California beet sugar,
was guest at the Russ House last
week. He had just returned from
the great beet farm and sugar works
at Chino and had also noted the pro-
gress of the two factories at AIvar-
ado and Watsonvile. He says the
growing of beets and making of beet
sugar is getting to be a bigger thing
every day in California, and that be-
fore ten years there will be $1,000,-
100000 invested in the beet sugar
business here. 1t is now talked of
in every community in Southern Cali
fornia, and many people are intend
ing to 90 in it. Mr.. Loranz said also
that there was one thing that was
going to greatly increase the product
that had not yet been discussed, ex
cept by those in the business, and
that is the planting of beets so as to
have them maturing constantly for
six months, instead Of three. This
is going TO be done, and then the
factories, instead of running 100
days, as at present, will run for SIX
months.
Commissioner Mason of Washing
ton, d. G., received the first applica-
ton for bounty on cane sugar manu-
featured under the tariff law on
October 23d. 1t came from Joseph
w. Dougherty & Co Louisiana.
The amount of sugar manufactured
upon which bounty is asked is
6j,963 pounds and the bounty is
S1319.
The Chino factory has produced
825 tons of graduated sugar since
August goth. 1t has shipped 756
tons of sugar, mostly to Southern
California towns, but some went to
San Francisco, Fresno, Arizona ard
Colorado points. The inspector says
the sugar polarized as high as 97.9
percent in purity, and the entire out
put is very high standard.
The crop of sugar beets in the
jacksonville valley will greatly
overrun the estimate made early in
the season. The Pajaro crop will
not be less than 1000 tons greater
than was estimated. Several fields
have averaged 20 tons per acre and
on the Moro Colo ranch of thirty-one
acres they turned off as high as
thirty-one and half tons to the
acre. The price paid for the beets
is IS per ton.
Spreckels has been leading his
rivals in the sugar business a lively
dance and has finally succeeded in
his scheme.
Under the impetus of what is call
ed the Spreckels movement granu-
lated sugar went down to four cents
on the goth inst. for the first time in
many weeks. When the market
reached 4 l-1G cents, a local sugar
broker made an offer of four cents
for 500 barrels of Spreckels' selling
