10000 Runehes of Bananas

The largest cargo of bananas ever re-
ccvcd in any port of the world reached
here Thursday on the United Fruit COM
panys steamer Esparta from Port Limon,
Costa Kica. 1t consisted OF 60113 punches
Of I.imon fruit. which is the largest var
icty of banana shipped to this country.
and il filled $50 box cars. These cars, if
attached to one locomotive. would have
stretched a distance of a mile and a half
The work of discharging this cargo will
be the greatest task the company has ever
undertaken. Once the sister ship of the
Esparta, the Limon, arrived with $4,000
punches of fruit. and up to that time the
record was very much smaller. The
Esparta broke the Limon's record by COCO
punches.
The Southern Pacific road ran out a
special train to assist in the delivery of
this fruit which will be scattered. all over
the country between st. Louis and Van
couver. A portion of the cargo goes Z to
Houston. Galveston. San Antonio. Los An
gcles and San Francisco. Another section
will go to Seattle and Vancouver and this
train will run special over the Southern
Pacific straight through San Francisco and
up the Pacific coast. Chicago, Omaha,
Kansas City, Detroit. st. Louis. Indian
apolis and several smaller cities will be
supplied with fruit from this one single
cargo.
1t took eight trains loaded with nothing
but bananas to carry out the consignment
and there We're fifteen messengers in
charge of the fruit.
When the cargo of the E;sparta is COM
pared with the shipments which were re-
.ccivcd up to a few years ago. and idea can
be secured as to the wonderful growth
of the importations.
When the steamers first ran in the fruit
trade they carried on an average of 1909
punches each, just one-slxth OF the Espar-
tas cargo. These vessels were chartered
In Norway and made an average OF nine
miles an hour. The steamers now in the
trade are magnificent ships. fast and
equipped with every modern comfort for
Il limited number of passengers.
