WILL ESTABLISH LOCAL
STEAMER LINE.

HONOLULU, Sept. 9.--Certain
business men of this city, who
have the welfare of the Territory
very much at heart, have come to
the conclusion that Honolulu has
not received the treatment that
she has the right to expect at the
hands of some of the Pacific steam
ship companies and a movement
is on foot looking to the building
and running of an up-o-date ocean
passenger and freight carrier be-
tween this port and San Francisco
a steamship of the most approved
style to be constructed by Hawaiian
capital and operated by Hawaiian
company with headquarters in
Honolulu.
One million dollars will be
necessary to realize the plans now
forming.
Sugar men Will probably put up
most of the money. The scheme
will benefit all other interests in
these Islands if it is carried out.
There is inclined to be some op-
position from some of the big sugar
capitalists, but there is money
enough in the country, and to
spare, to put the proposition throu-
gh in time and. in the end, the
Hawaiian-owned vessel will prove
blessing even to those who may
now oppose the idea.
This shaping of plans is the out
growth of the old movement to get a
boat, by charter or otherwise, to
run between Honolulu and San
Francisco, particularly agitated
last year without any results, the
the sugar men turning down a
proposition to guarantee each trip
certain amount of freight
The passing by of the Korea and
the Siberia, their cutting out
Honolulu on the homeward run,
has added oil to the flames of the
independent spirit coming to know
itself among local men of affairs
and the two or three who have
gathered together to put their
shoulders to the wheel of local
progress and force conditions, are
determined that no stone shall be
left unturned to bring about sue
cess.
The proposition is now being
worked up through the prelimi-
nary stages and the matter will be
presented to the monied men in a
manner that will convince them of
the adyisability of the investment.
