ANOTHER
RUN HERE
OFFICIAL ADVICES ARE THAT
SIERRA WILL MAKE AT LEAST
ONE MORE TRIP.

The Oceanic steamship Sierra will
according to information at hand in
this city, make at least one more round
trip between San Francisco and Homo
lulu. What will be done with her al
ter that is uncertain and local agents
are not advised
Upon putting the Sierra on the local
run after taking her, together with the
Sonoma and Ventura, off the run to
Australia, it was determined to eX-
pertinent for three round trips with
the Sierra as a local boat and one more
round trip is scheduled to complete
the Experiment
On the first run to Honolulu the S.
S. Sierra brought only fourteen passen-
gers; on the second trip down on the
local run she brought nearly three
times as many. On the present re-
turn voyage she carries lis cabin pas
sengers, 81 in the steerage, 1 500 tons
of sugar, 1000 cases of pineapples, g.,
600 punches of bananas and some mis-
cellaneous freight
At the office of the agents Of the
Oceanic Steamship Company, w. G.
Irwin & Co., nothing at present is
known beyond the originally arranged
plan of three round trips by way of
experiment and it can not be said from
any local authority that the Sierra will
make more than the three runs.
Outside, on the street, where every
body seems to know more about what
the company intends to do than do
the agents, it is reported that the 81
S. Sierra will not make any more trips
to this port and it is also stated that
even the Alameda will be taken Off
Recent articles in this paper have
stated that the Sonoma had been char
tered for the run between San Francis
co and Puget Sound ports. The Sierra,
it is said, by men in the street, will ye
chartered for the same service. While
there may be something of truth in
information based on private COM
munications the fact remains that
there is no official information to hand
in regard to the doings OF the Oceanic
steamship company other than that
the Sierra will make another trip and
that nothing has been heard of the
Alameda being taken off the run.
The published statement in another
paper that the present trip of the S. S.
Sierra is the last is without official
authorization.
The financial page of the News
Letter of San Francisco contains the
following:
The holder of block of Oceanic
S'eamshiup Company stock is in al
n; ~ as awkward a position as the
owner of an estate in Ireland, the tax
es on which have to be paid to tho
Government, while the tenants refuse
to- pay any rent. Notice has just been
given that another assessment of $40
per share has been levied, which share
holders must either pay or forfeot'
their interest in the company The
delinquent sale of the last levy has
Just passed when the next is levied a
rather unusual proceeding, as it is
generally the custom to give people a
chance to breathe. A large amount of
stock was advertised for sale as de-
linquent on the last assessment, and
much of it must nave fallen into the
hands of the corporation. The present
levy will likely result in a sweep of
more shares into the company's treas
ury In this manner, it will not take
long to wipe the company out of exist
ence, leaving the directors free to wind
up it's affairs at their own sweet will. "
