Additional Particulars of the Laurens

LAURENs, S. C.-Switzer, the slayer

! Capitalists are preparing to establish q
line of steamers between Portland, Ore.
gon, and tho Sandwich Islauds to obtain
share of the trade which San Francisco
now mcnopoiizes. The islands last year
paid to San Francisco firms 1878, 900 for
hour aud $465, 900 for grain aud feed.
Portland can supply these staples cheaper
than its rival, and In return for them
expects to bring bananas, pineapples,
mangoes, and other fruits TO its own
door. As local merchant puts it:
"rhere is no reason why Portland should
pay San Francisco commission ON our
iraits, and no reason why the islands
snouid pay Slu Francisco commissioa

nercial relations must prove profitable
both to Portland aud the islands, and I
see no reason why the enterprise should
