CRUISER MARYLAND
SETS TARGET MARK
(By Latest MALI

VENICE, Cal, Officers and men of
the cruiser Maryland, which steamed
in at this beach this morning. jubi-
lantly announced that at a recent tar
get practice on San Diego the Mary
land had eclipsed all former records
of American war ships. The cruiser
had carried the craftsmanship trophy
for two years, but lost it last year to
the dreadnought Delaware with a
score of 80.
The Maryland now regains the
title, the officers stated, with q score
of 81 points. Ordnance Officer Cal
hourn, in direct charge OF the prac-
tice, said that this score had never
been equaled by an American man-of'
war.
The score was made with heavy
sea running. The ships searchlights
picked out the six targets and firing
began at 5000 yards and ended at
1000 yards. When the targets were
brought in and the holes counted, a
shout that shook the ship went up.
Captain Ellicott today transmitted
the score to Washington.

Tacoma Wash Ledger, April al
The resolution of the board Of trus-
tees OF the Tacoma Commercial Club
that a duty OF I cent a pound should
be retained on sugar to safeguard the
chief industry u Hawaii was strongly
supported by business. men OF this
city, who are lenioying thriving
trade with the Hawaiian Islands, and
who believe the trade will be greatly
injured by free sugar This trade
has been developed in recent years.
especially since the San Francisco
earthquake and fire, and 1t is in a
fair way to increase right along unless
the Hawaiian Islands suffer a back-set
as a result of removing the tariff
from sugar.
In the early days of the old Oregon
country there vas much trade with
the islands, but with the discovery of
gold in California and the annexation
of that territory to the United States,
close commercial relations were es-
tablished with San Francisco, and
those relations have continued.
though in the last few years Puget
Sound has gained fair share of the
trade. The Pacific Coast would regret
exceedingly to see the prosperity or
Hawaii destroyed by tariff changes.
The Hawaiian Islands were in
profitable trade relations with the old
Oregon country long before they did
business with San Francisco. In the
fur trade of early times it was GUS
tomary for vessels on the way from
the Pacific Northwest Coast to China
to stop at Hawaii Capt. Gray. who
discovered the Columbia river, touch
ed at Hawaii on his way to Canton
with cargo of fur in 1889 The Ton
quin. ship sent out by John Jacob
Astor, stopped at Hawaii on the way
to Astoria. From Hawaii the Tonquin
took hogs, sheep and poultry to As
toria, while IL Kanakas enlisted for
three years service with Astor's fur
company.
1t has been estimated that in 1929
100 American vessels visited Hawaii

look after our commerce and seamen
at Honolulu.
The old Oregon country sent wheat,
beaver skins, salmon and lumber to
the islands, and traded for molasses.
sugar, tea, coffee and other COM
modities. Hawaiitwas also center of
the whaling industry and through that
industry was long in close trade rela-
tons with the Northwest Coast.
When a congressional committee in
1888 investigated the advisability Of
making an effort to hold the Oregon
country. 1t pointed out the strong
position of Hawaii in the trada with
China. and predicted that the islands
would fall into the hands Of the Eng
fish. The Oregon country was acquir-
ed. but the Sandwich, or Hawaiian,
islands were allowed to continue I'M
der their own rule. Not until 1898
were they annexed to the United
States.
Guy Vernon Bennett. in an instruc-

reasons the intercourse between the
islands and the Pacific Northwest
fell off about 1850:
The fur trade between the Ameri-
can Coast and the rest of the world
died out in 1925 with the invasion Of
the silk hat.
THE whale fisheries died out by
1S45 through the exhaustion Of the
supply.
THE development of overland trans
poftation routes from the east to the
Pacific Northwest
THE rapid settlement of California
after the discovery of gold in 1S4S
made San Francisco the chief trading
point on the Pacific Coast of Ameri-
ca. Hawaii thereafter traded with
California instead Of the Oregon coun-
try"
Now, however, trade with Hawaii
is coming to Puget Sound as well
as to San Francisco, and our BUSH
ness men are opposed to Action by
congress that would seriously cripple,
If not destroy, that trade.
