Struck Business Men o. K.
The manner and time in which the
various mail steamers arrived in port
in the last few days from the four
sides of the Pacific made it particu-
larry handy for the business commu-
nifty to receive and answer mail. For
instance, the Aorangi arrived Thurs
day from the Colonies with mail, and
replies were forwarded to the Colonies
by the Makura on Saturday. The
Nippon Maru arrived from San Fran
cisco on Friday evening, and irst-class
mail was delivered that evening, and
any additional letters for the Orient,
consequent upon arriving letters, were
sent off on the same vessel Saturday
morning to Oriental ports. Replies
were attended to in answer to main
land and European mail arriving on
the Nippon, and left for their varied
destinations on the Manchuria Satur-
day afternoon. Considerable mail,
comprising answers to mail from the
Orient received on the Manchuria Sat
urdav morning. went back to the ORR
Al nf
replies to incoming Oriental mail had
to be hastily penned, as the Nippon
left port about IL a. m. Also mail
received from Canadian points was an
swered, and returned to the Coast on
the Manchuria. Many business men
commented on the unusual and very
favorable opportunities to clear up
their mail baskets by Saturday even
ing.
Los Angeles to Hawaii.
1t is reported from Los Angeles that
two new steamship lines between the
Pacific Coast and the Hawaiian Islands
are being formed. One will be incor
porated by capitalists of that city ano
the other win be a subsidiary Of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
R. R. The projected lines are to make
port Los Angeles their chief coast
touching point and both are designed
to take care of the rapidly growing
sugar and canned pineapple freight ant
the tourist passenger traffic between
Honolulu and the Coast ports. ThC
newly developed market in the United
| States for railroad ties of particularly
tough Hawaiian wood called ohia is thu
| reason for the activity of the Los An
geles capitalists and the officials of the
| San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Railroad. The Santa F'e has ordered
| $2,500,000 worth of ohia ties, which vii
| be cut from forests now being cleared
for the further cultivation of sugar ant
| pineapples in the higher parts of TIL,
