The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-07-31

Spreckels and Hartman interests for
the control OF the freight traffic on the
Pacific furnishes the San Diegan-Sun
with additional reasons why San Diego
should be made a regular port of entry
by the steamships OF the American
Hawaiian line, both on their east and
west bound trips. The Sun says:
1T is the announced intention of the
spreckels interests through an ar
rangement just perfected with the
Observation-Disclosures company and the
Tehuantepec railroad TO ship every
thing possible over that route. For
years past the Hartman interests.
through the Pacific Mail Steamship
line and the Panama railroad have
practically monopolized this traffic on
account OF the Hawaiian steamers
having TO make the trip around the
Horn.
with the Inauguration of the new
line this will be all changed, and 1t
is estimated by the Tehuantepec Off
cials that fully one month will be
saved.
This means gigantic support for the
Hawaiian line, as the Spreckels in
terests are consuming a considerable
amount of material ~ Southern Cali
fornia all the time and heretofore has
been shipped in by rail. Much of this
will be used in San Diego and vi
entity.
THE Tehuantepec officials announce
that the line will be ready for trans
continental traffic in December, and as
three new steamers for the Hawaiian
line are under contract to be completed
at that time, a ten-day service is as
sured for this port"
