IN COMBINATION

Golfers Weekly.-Concerning itself
frequently with a defense of the rail
roads, the Portland Oregonian attempts
to achieve humor at the expense of
Collier s. In an editorial anent the
control of steamship lines by the
Southern Pacific we said that the
American-Hawaiian Steamship Compa-
ny carries sugar from Hawaii to Phila-
delphia and New York, its return car
goes consist of merchandise for Cali
fornia, and the ships of this compa-
nv do not "touch at" any ports
which have Southern Pacific terminals.
To one intimate with the English Ian
guage, this would mean that these
ships do not make any passing calls
on their voyages at intermediate points
where the Southern Pacific has rail
road terminals. There are points on
the Gulf of Mexico-Galveston and
New Orleans, for instance-which have
such Southern Pacific terminals. The
Oregonian should use its opportunities
by making a more intelligent perusal
of the wisdom in the pages of Collier s.
Commissioner Prouty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission has said that
he is convinced that an agreement ex-
lists between the American-Hawaiian
company and the railroads whereby the
former will build no more vessels. A
congressional committee found that a
former compact existed between the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company (sinee
acquired by the Southern Pacifc) and
the railroads, whereby that company,
for an annual consideration of nine
hundred thousand dollars agreed to car

STEAMSHIPS AND
SAILING VESSELS
Statistics for Two Decades
Show Rapid Supplanting of
Sails by Steam.

The days of the sailing ship are
passing, and the steamship is penetrat-
ing to every branch of the world s
commerce. Fifty years ago the Amer
lean clipper ship was the synonym for
all that was admirable on the sea, but
even America has at length been com
PEELED to fall into line with other
maritime powers and to allow the more
efficient steam vessels to take the
place of the older class of shipping.
The extent and rapidity with which
the change has been wrought in recent
years can be gathered from official
statistics.

the San Francisco Commercial. is Civ

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-10-04

The enormous disparity between the
average tonnage of sailing vessels and
steamers is shown by the fact that in
1908, 15,202 steamships had a gross reg
istered tonnage of 1881, 1888, com
pared with a net tonnage of 6,993, 73(
for 1886 sailing vessels.
In the same period the change in
style of American shipping has been
unique because while the number and
tonnage of steamships have more than
doubled there has been small in
crease in sailing vessels also. The
continued enstruction of sailing YES
sells here is~due to the requirements of
the coastwise trade, and has no con-
nection with the deep water traffic,
from which America has almost en-
tirely retired.
The following statement shows the
progress of American shipping during
the eighteen years since 1890:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-10-04

In 1908 the net tonnage of sailing
vessels over 80 tons under the British
flag was 1,590,550, compared with g.
693. $50 in 1890.
The remarkable feature of the fore
going table is the vast increase in size
of vessels. The average steamer of
1890 was 1917 gross tons; in 1908 the
average tonnage was 1878.

SIGNS HOME RULE ACTS.
Gov. Warner Approves Three New
Laws Passed by Supervisors.

LANSING. Mich. Dec. 29.-Gover-
nor Warner has signed three local
acts passed by boards OF supervisors
under authority OF the last legislature.
which granted 10 counties home rule.
One OF the acts passed by the Glare
county board prohibits the killing OF
deer in that county until 1915.
Under the provisions OF this act.
the boards OF supervisors cannot en-
act any legislation which will inter
fere with the general laws. Secre-
tary Martindale is OF the opinion that
it will be a hard proposition to dis
criminate between some OF the acts
and II is probable that their validity
will have TO be tested in the supreme
court. In case the governor should
veto any OF these local acts. the
boards are empowered TO pass them
by a two-thirds vote. and they will
convey as much force as though en-
acted by the legislature
This act was fathered by Colon

~ passed after considerable opposi-
