Her contribution toward breaking
the gasoline drought was eagerly
awaited, and Manager Dawson of the
Associated Oil Company whirled Cap
tain Engass away to the custom house
this morning in order that the neces-
sary formalities could be got out Of
the way as quickly as possible, so that
the valuable cargo may be handled
with dispatch.
There are $40 drums Of distillate
and gasoline in the Falls of Clyde AMI
/ 10000 barrels of crude oil. Thus the
situation is bright all round, not that
/ there was ever any fear Of a crude oil
famine, for the Associated Oil Com
pany had plenty for immediate re-
/ quirements, and the Union had many
thousands of tons.
The Lansing, which is reported as
having left San Francisco, it is
thought, will bring a big supply of
! gasoline and distillate The fact that
the Santa Maria had to jettison some
of her drums because they were
smashed up has led to the quick dis
patch of the Lansing from San Fran
cisco via Monterey, is the local sup
position. The Union Oil Company has
| plenty of crude oil on hand, and 1t is
! presumed that the San Francisco firm
has deduced that there might be a ne
cessity for getting gasoline here
pretty hurriedly, hence the visit of the
Lansing, which might be looked for
about Monday week, as in all probable

be no famine in the icebound times.
The opening of the canal is being
looked forward to as increasing the
scope of the oil companies. Two big
British boats capable each of carry
ing about 10000 barrels of crude oil,
will in all probability be put on that
run for the Union Oil Company. That

British flag still flying will not pre-
oil to the foreign ports down there,
but it let's them out of bringing oil
here and to Alaska on account of the
coastwise law. "-r
The Lansing, the Maverick and the
Rosecrans, en- route here, will make
the situation easier all round, for
there will be no fears of the gasoline
supply running short again, as these
vessels will enable local agencies to
fill up their stocks, and the necessary
precautions for safeguarding the flu.

BAYO MARU TO BE FUMlGATED
The Buyo Maru arrived here last
night from South American ports.
She was boarded this morning and
will be allowed to come inside after D..
she has been fumigated for mosqu- |
toes. DR.. Ramus thinks that this
work will be through in time to en-
able her to tie up at the new Matson
wharf at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
For here she has 1900 tons of nj
trate for the Hawaiian Fertilizer Com
pany This will be discharged as rap |
idly as possible, and she will get away T!
to Yokohama as soon as possible after
the work is through. Whether she |
will want any coal or not is not yet
known, but in all probability she will |
fiji up here, There are many through |
passengers on board, but none will
get off here,
The trip across from South Ameri- !
can ports was a very rough one, dur |
ing most of the journey.
SIBERIA GOT AWAY.
The Siberia came across from the
quarantine wharf at about o'clock
last night and tied up at the AIakea
wharf soon afterward, Captain iced
ers skill in bringing her over was az
mired by those who watched the big
liner put alongside the wharf 1t was
considered as neat a piece of work
as has ever been done here,
The Siberia got away at 10 o'clock
this morning with sixty-six cabin ras-
sengers and twenty-seven in the
steerage, She took away about four
hundred tons of cargo.
