HONOLULU CONNECTING LINK

The suggestion of a steamship line
to ply between San Pedro and Homo
lulu, as presented by the promotion
committee of the latter city, is entitled
to careful consideration. Portland al
ready has such a connection with the
hawaiian islands, and there seem to
be good reasons why the more direct
line embracing San Pedro would be
preferable.
But the Honolulu proposition is prop
erly a feature that should be embod-
led in a greater one. A steamship line
plying between San Pedro and the
oriental ports, touching at Honolulu
is project that certainly will be real
lied when the harbor work at San
Pedro is completed. That proposition
has been thoroughly considered and
its practicability is unquestionable.
The steamship lines operating be-
tween northern ports and the orient
are adjuncts of the railway companies.
The Southern Pacific company con-
trolls the service from the San Fran
cisco terminus and the Great North
ern company the servicve from Seat
tie. Senator Clark has substantially
declared his purpose to project a
steamship line to the orient from the
San Pedro terminus when the harbor
at that port is available.
Pending the establishment of a
through steamship line to the orient,
however, it might be feasible to op-
crate at once a comparatively light
draft service between San Pedro and
Honolulu. 1t is not probable that the
traffic between the two points would
Justify at present the use of large
craft nor of a frequent schedule. The
sugar product of the Hawaiian islands
affords the chief element Of freightage
therefrom, and San Francisco is likely
to retain the part that now comes
to this coast
1t is quite true, as argued by the
representative of Hawaiian interests,
that a great volume of tourist travel
and Honolulu steamship line. Among
the tens of thousands of eastern tour
lists who annually come to Los An
geles a large number would gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity to
make the Hawaiian visit a feature of
their encourage. A voyage to the
islands would also become a popular
outing for many citizens of Los An
geles and of Southern California gen.
orally.

BEWARE OF sHoppY LEATHER

"Its fierce age. this" sighed the
shoemaker. "They are making shoddy
leather now. It's worse than shoddy
wool.
"They buy up all the old boots and
shoes and they throw them into a big
machine and grind them into o, coarse
powder. Whir-r-r goes the machine.
and in at one end fly the old shoes,
while out at the other gushes clloco-
late colored dust.
"This dust they mix with about 40
per cent of melted india rubber, and
the mixture they press out, as thin as
pie crust, under huge rollers, applying
a pressure of 10000 pounds to the
square foot
"They color II afterward and put It
on the market. Tt is used In cheap
shoes. The men who halfsole and heel
