and the interests that are laboring to
make the Northwest the trade channel
to the Orient shall be permitted and
shall have the ability to carry out ade-
quate transportation plans
Few people realize, even here in the
Northwest, the vast superiority of Pu-
get Sound, the northwestern shipping
port. as the short cut to the markets
OF the Orient. The maps we have
studied in the old school Biographies
have deceived us. Most of us have the
impression, for example, that San
Francisco and Los Angeles are directly
across the Pacific from Shanghai,
Hongkong and the Philippines, and
therefore are as near the markets of
Asia as Puget Sound is. That is he
cause our education has been had from
studying the old fashioned map instead
of a correctly made globe. EXamina-
ton of the globe shows that the con-
tinents of North America and Asia, in
stead of standing as the almost paral-
lei east and west shores of the Pacific
ocean, are arranged on the northern
hemisphere in such a way that their
northern shores practically encircle
the Arctic ocean, while their Pacific
shore lines spread apart at an angle
of very nearly $50 degrees.
AS a matter of geographical fact, an
arc of the great circle passing through
the Mississippi Valley and Lake Supe-
rior to the north pole and thence down
ON the other side of the globe to the
equator, passes through Central Asia,
touching the equator at about Calcut-
ia: while the short and direct route
from our Pacific ports to Japan and
China instead of due west. via the
Hawaiian Islands, is northwest. via the
Aleutian Isles. This is true. not only
for Puget Sound vessels, but for San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Panama
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1902-02-14

steamships. 1t is this geographical sit
uation which makes Puget Sound the
nearest possible point in the United
States to all points in Asia.
Ocean distances given by recent gov
ernment charts point the significance
of the above geographical facts. The
charts show that the Puget Sound
route via the Aleutian Isles is 1900
miles shorter to Yokohama and Shang-
hal, and 1890 miles shorter even to
Hongkong and Southern China than
the San Francisco route via Honolulu.
For fifteen knot vessel the extra ,230
miles mean nearly three and one-half
days added to the voyage, or a week
extra for the round trip. From the
standpoint not only of prompt ship
ment. but of earning power and cost
of operation. it is perfectly clear that
the steamship line with the 1,200-mile
shorter haul has "cinch" on the St
uation.
Even San Francisco and Los Angeles
save over 400 miles by going via Puget
Sound and the Aleutian Isles, as COM
pared with the Honolulu route; and
400 miles are more than a days voy
age for a siXteen-knot vessel. This ad-
vantage of a days voyage, or of two
days on the round trip, will always
stand in favor of Puget Sound. the
shipping port of the Northwest. as
compared with san Francisco, the most
northeriy port of the Southwest. In
all that enters into the cost of trans
Iportation-wages, fuel, interest insur-
ance and cost of maintenance-as well
as in earning power and promptness
of service, the Northwest will always
be at least twenty-four hours ahead
on every shipment, and two days in
the lead for the round trip voyage, and
this means that the Northwest is in
command of the Pacific transportation
situation, provided its shipping and
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1902-02-14

railroad resources are equal to the oc-
'casion.
From Puget Sound to Yokohama via
the Northwest route is only 4,240 miles.
while the journey from New York via
the Suez Canal, more than half en-
circles the globe for distance of 1880
miles. and via Cape Horn and Homo
lulu the trip covers 16,9e0 miles. An
average twelve-knot vessel thus re-
quires about two weeks to go from
Puget Sound to Japan, as compared
with over six weeks from New York
via the Suez Canal, and nearly eight
weeks from New York via Cape Horn
land Honolulu. When twenty-knot
freight vessels are employed, Puget
Sound shippers will be able to get in
three voyages while the New York
shipper makes one via the Suez Canal,
and four voyages to one made by the
New York shipper via Cape Horn.
If the Panama Canal is constructed.
the New York shipper has 1881 miles
to make in order to reach Panama,
1855 more to Honolulu, and a total of
l10,046 to Yokohama, or of 1,607 to
IHongkong; as compared with 4,240 and
$3.50 respectively from Puget Sound to
the same Asiatic ports. Aided even by
the construction of the Panama canal,
therefore, New York will require as
long time and as great ocean transpor-
tation cost to reach the markets of
Asia for the single trip as the North
west via Puget Sound will require for
the round trip.
| If there is any reason why the North
west, therefore, will not be in posi-
ton during the present century to
command the Pacific trade, the fault
Twill not lie with mother EARTH for she
has arranged time, distance and geog-
raphy all in our favor, and given us
the great commercial opportunity Of

CATTLE-Yesterday's light receipts of
cattle were followed by another light
run today, which max the supply Tor
the week TO date considerable less than
for the same days of last week or for the
same days of the corresponding week of
last year. In view of the decreased supply
competition among the different buyers
at steady to strong prices.
There was a lively demand this morning
for steers and it did not take long for
sellers to dispose of practically everything
they had on hand at good strong prices.
The better grades, of course, sold more
freely, but still even the common kinds
moved without much difficulty. AS high as

finished cattle.
The COW market was also active and
steady to strong. The better grades were

the case for some time past, and the prices
in most cases lookeds a little stronger.
There was also quite an Improvement I'm
the demand for the medium grades and

prices paid II was in the direction OF an

safely be quoted steady to strong and ac-

There was not much change noticeable in
the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and
stays, but still anything at all good met
with ready sale at. fully as good prices
as were paid yesterday.
The demand for feeders of good quality
continued fully equal to the supply, so that
anything at all good sold freely. Stockers
of good quality also sold at fully steady
prices, but the common kinds were neg
lected, the same as they have been all
along. Representative sales:

The dubious condition in which the North

HOGS-The downward course of the hog
market continued today. All points had
fairly liberal receipts and prices here
at the decline so far as the better weight
hogs were concerned and the bulk of the
offerings was out of first hands in fairly
good season. TIL light stun, however, was
a, drug on the market and sellers found II
almost impossible In a good many. cases to
even get a bid on the underweight loads.
For that reason the last end of the market
was very slow and weak and IL was late
before anything like a clearance was made.
The bulk Of the heavy weight hogs sold
from $3.50 to $Sl6, medium weights went
from $3.50 to $3.50 and light stun from $3.50
