Harry Armitage Revisits the Coast.
Harry Armitage left by the Korea
yesterday morning for a trip to the
Coast Few men in the Islands are
more widely known than he. He came
here from New Zealand in 1872, and
was here several years when he went
to Idaho in 1879 attracted thither by
the mining excitement He remained
on the Coast until 1881 when he re
turned to Hawaii and he has been here
ever since. His present visit TO San
Francisco will be his first since 1881.
He is accompanied by his wife.
New Manager for Pioneer.
L. Weinzheimer, who has been man
ager of Koloa plantation on Koloa for
a number of years, and for a longer
period than that has been connected
with the sugar industry on Kauai, has
been appointed manager of Pioneer Mill
Plantation to succeed L. Parkhausen.
He will go to Lahaina April l.
MILLS begin GI1u041S.
Olaa plantation is to begin grinding
on Monday on what is expected to be
a 22,0O0-ton crop. Koloa and Kekaha
were expected to begin grinding last
week, and Pioneer mill has been grind
ing for more than a week. Waimea
Mill will begin grinding this week, and
Eva is expected to begin the week af-
ter.
Sugar Factors Shipping Plans.
The shipping arrangements for the
crop of 1909 are somewhat different
than those of any previous year. AS
last year, the bulk of the Atlantic
bound sugar will go by the Tehuantepec
route. But as last year, certain
amount will go around the continent of
South America, in all little more than
went that way last year. But less of
it will go by sailing vessel. The plans
for this year are for the shipment of
%, 800 tons by sailing vessel around
Cape Horn, the sailing feet to consist
of the barks Nuuanu and Foohng Suey,
and the ships Hawaiian Isles, John
Ena, w. P. Frye and Dirigo. By steam
ship through the Strait of Magellan
there will be shipped $4,000 tons, max
inc in all something over $1,000 tons
to go by this long route this year as
against only about 10000 tons to go
that way last year The crop this year
is expected to be fully equal to that
of last year and probably little more.
Last wear there were times when there
was a congestion of freight on the
Tebuantepec route which once in awhile
interfered with the regularity OF ship
ments from here, congesting warehouses
and so creating conditions it is not
desired to have repeated. Hence ar
ranoements have been made this year
TO send larger amount around the con-
tinent of South America.
First Shipment of New Crop.
The first shipment of the new crop
by way of the Tehuantepec IS sched-
Med to leave January 2. During
December perhaps twelve or fourteen
thousand tons will be shipped to San
Francisco.
The Matson Line.
Another change in shipping arrange
ments for the coming crop consists IN
the fact that the Matson line OF steam
ships will carry a greatly increased
amount of the San Francisco bouno
sugar and the American Hawaiian Will
carry somewhat less of this sugar.
Pearl Harbor Channel Dredging.
At noon. December /, at Washington,
the bids for the dredging of Pearl Har-
Dor. Oahu, were opened at the Navy

Dredging Company was the lowest, and

bids. -Four were from mainland con
Germs and two from Honolulu interests

O17O0O cubic yards from the entrance
of the channel of Pearl Harbor and
leading to the site of the new Naval
Station. and requires width OF chan
mel of 600 feet and uniform depth OF
thirtv-two feet. The work must be
completed within three years.
The Sake Case.
The sake case which is of such I'M
mense interest here is to go to the
Snnreme Court of the United States fol
final decision.
Both the Merchants Association anc
the Chamber of Commerce have adopted
resolutions protesting against the e1
change of the Mahuka site for the Feo
eral building, for the Irwin Palaee
Square site. Much data on the SUD
iect went to Washington by the Korea
New Bank Manager.

the Honolulu branch of the Yokohama
Specie Bank, arrived here by the Korea
