Merchants
Talk On
Sierra

The coming of the Sierra, which
leaves San F'rarcisco for Honolulu on
April 80. is being greeted by the mcr-
chants of the city with great appre-
citation. That they viii be able to get
their goods down here from San Fran
cisco with less delay ard that the pas
senger accommodations from this city
will be made better for the tourists. is
very pleasing 40 them and they are not
in the last backward about making
statements to that effect. A few uf the
expressions of prominent business men
In the city picked up by Bulletin re-
,orter, follow:
Frank Hustace, of HustaCe d Peck:
we want more boats and | believe
that the Sierra will fill the bill. She
Is easily the best of the three Oceanic
steamers which have been running to
Australia and Captain lIoudlette has
been coming here for years and Is Il
great fayorite. Both these things will
Be of assistance to the Sierra in her
new run. think that the more boats
We can have here the better the city
will be on and the merchants of the
city will certainly do their best to SUP
wv NH' companies "ht't i'll NN WV
In regard to the business OF our firm
our principal purchases are In the line
of feed stuGs which come from san
Francisco. Naturally some Ul these
will come on the new boat
A. Hooking of the Honolulu Brew
ing and Mating Co.--"I think that the
merchants of Honolulu will yet tOgeth-
or and see that the Sierra has plenty
OF freight. The Americas. Hawaiian
loats are coming down here with full
CargOes ON every trip and think that
the Sierra. being boat which will
come In on "A regular schedule, will get
all the freight that she can carry. In
regard to sugar to take back TO San
Francisco ! cannot tell you anything,
but see no reason that with the pres
ent conditions To be considered there
should not be plenty of room for an
other steamer In this line of work.
| think that everyone should help " keep
this steamer. which We need loaded TO
the rail with freight and passengers.
Robert /. Lange, of HOifschlaeger
| Co, Ltd have no doubt In regard
10 the freight coming here from San
| Francisco. The Alameda comes down
here every trip full Of freight and has
10 leave u great deal which cannot bn
brought for lack of space. To he sure
the Sierra Is a great deal larger boat
than the Alameda and can carry more
| freight, but II you knew how much
| freight the Alameda has to refuse You
would think as | do that the Sierra
viii have all that she can carry. She
H. fine boat and II Is u fine thing for
Honolulu to have her placed on the
run with the Alameda. II will be OF
great benefit to both passengers COM
ing and going from Honolulu and also
TO the merchants"
X. b. Booth. of Waldron & Co.-"Our
| firm Is greatly pleased with the fact
| that the Sierra Is to be put ON the run
between here and San Francisco. II
will help us out great deal. At pres
ent with the Alameda, which brings n
great part OF the local freight. coming
ever! three weeks. we have to wait
| some time for shipments, while with
| the new schedule II WI. mean that we
will have quicker dispatch and that
goods will not be dclu,ed on the
Nharves In san Francisco waiting .or
| the LsXt steamer"
Mamie Phillips, OF VI. Phillips a. Co
| "our firm has alwa?& shipped by tho

:inue to do so. | AN v".'y rau1h please

tor the passenger service and the extra
accommodation which she will give for
freight to be brought down here on n
regular schedule will be very much APP
preciated by the merchants of the city
! The Oceanic Company has always been
very friendly to the merchants Of this
city and once more has come 10 our
