Be ginning April 15, the steamship Now port will be placed in regular service bctwen Portland and points on the Coquille River lu the freight and passenger trade, affording the only through transportation facilities the merchants of the Rose City have ever enjoyed with Bandon, Myrtle Point, and Coquille City. A. Dunham and associates, who own the Newport, have purchased a controlling interest lu tho river boats plying on the Coqu ille. By transferring freight from tho Newpoit to them, goods can be delivered to the various points on the Coquille during the lowest stage of the river. Heretofore shipments destined from Portland to Bandon, Myrtle Point and Coquille City were for warded on the steamers plying be tween here and Coos Bay. At Marsh field the goods were re-shipped on other lines, necessitating their fre " handling. There are two ways 'i .hlp from Marshfleld over the ra'lroad or by gasoline schooners. Delays are often experienced and it is believed a through line will afford the heavy shippers a much improved service. The Newport has accommodations for 40 first-class passengers, and she can take care of 200 tons of general cargo. For the past two months she has been at Eureka undergoing ex tensive repairs and receiving altera tions. Rather heavy travel to the Co quille is anticipated the coming sea son and it is announced that parti cular attention will be given to look ing after the passenger trade. The steamer is expected to provide close to a weekly service. On the up-trips the cargoes of the Newport will be made up mostly of coal, which will come from mines op erated by the owners of the steamer. She will also bring considerable farm produce from that section. Return ins she will take out general mer chandise. The Company officials have been led to believe that a most thriv ing business can be built up by the line, and others acquainted with the varied resources of that rich terri tory say there Is no doubt of it. The steamer will probably bo operated from the Oak street dock, although no definite arrangements of this sort have as yet beeu completed.
