This Years Sugar
10 Be Cleaned up
Within Shorf Time
More Space For Island Products
win Follow But Down Con-
gestion Continues
(From Wednesday Advertiser)


Sugar of 1915 grinding will be
cleaned up largely by three Matson
steamers now in or nearing Island
ports They ARE the Matsonia, in yes,
terday morning from San francisco
the Hilonian, loading at Mahukona,
and the Enterprise, en- route from San
Francisco to HilO. After these sail,
ings there will be more space for
canned pines and other Island products
tEan there has been this season. Ka-
hului is pau, there are 700 tons at Port
Allen and little at Hilo.
There are a few fag ends for the
Atlantic seaboard, overland via San
Francisco. This sugar mostly is at
kaanapah, Kahului and Hilo. The
kaanaPali and Kahului sugars will
have to await the coming Of the Iur-
line, as the Matsonia does no; 90 TO
the Maui ports.
Flour and Feed Shipped
Down freight continues conpeste ed
at San Francisco. Flour and feed have
been shipped in large Quantities from
North Coast mills of late. These goods
had been held in the North, in some
iNi POSoiDit OF EOOuUu
saihngs by the MatsOn vessels Hyades
and Hilonian, but they have all they
can do to take their portion Of the San
Francisco freight, and when they will
resume calls at Seattle is problemat-
ical. No greater Quantities OF freight
are coming than usual, merchants say,
but the All. suspension has thrown
virtually all the load upon Matson
ships. Christmas goods probably will
come from the Atlantic in better time
than before, as they will get quicker
despatch overland than via the all
water route of the" Panama Canal.
The Great Northern will make her
drst voyage within two months. She
win handle about $500 tons a voyage,
$500 n month. Putting into service Of
the new Matson vessel, probably in
February, should enc tie congestion,
but there probably will be no perma-
nent relief until that time
Matsonia In; Manoa Out
With 1868 tons of cargo for Homo
lulu and 993 for Hilo, the Matsonia,
Capt. Charles Peterson, arrived from
San Francisco yesterday morning. II
was the largest cargo she has brought
here. Passengers were PIG cabin and
seventeen steerage. The MatsOnia will
sail for HilO at five O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon, taking about 100 passen-
gers, and will return Sunday morning,
to sail for San Francisco at ten clock
next Wednesday morning. The Manoa,
Capt. F. M. Edwards, sa:ied for San
Francisco yesterday noon with eighty
three cabin passengers and fun
cargo.
Travel to the States IL continuing
l"rGe. The Matsonia will take out q
full list, number of whom will
be Island folk. Despite a belief, held
a few weeks ago, that travel to the
r.ainland would fall off about this
time, it has not done so, and indica,
tions are that it will continue indefi.
nitely. Already Castle & Cooke are
receiving advices from San Francisco
TO make reservations for upward voy-
ages in February and March. These
probably are for persons who will come
in January and February for the Car,
nivnl. If the' new Matson steamer
Maui is completed for the Carnival
there viii be more visitors than ever
BEFORE and even without her the crowd
probably will exceed this years, to
Whi"h Pacific Mail steamers did not
contribute.
