INCALCULABLE GOOD TO 0BEG02T
Tha Deal Will Ba Cloaed In a Few Day
Th Great Northern Railway Com
pany Behind the Project In Time'
for the Opening of the Tea Seaeon.
Pobtmkd, Or., February 0. The new
Portland and Asiatic steamship lincIJt
which is to be established by the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation . Company
and Great Northern railway, will begin
its regular monthly service about May 1.
The names of the steamers which are to
ply on the route have not yet been given '
out. What few details are yet to be set-
tied will be attended to on the arrival
of Mr. Davidge in this city. The con-.
tract is yet to be approved by the St. :
Paul officials of the Great Northern, but
it is thought that there will be no fur-1
ther hitch in the programme. ' ;
Portland merchants are greatly pleased
with tbe idea of this city having an in-
dependent line to tbe Asiatic coast, and '
predict that the scheme wilt be a sue- -cess
from the start. It will receive
every support from the business men of :
the city and State, and much or all of
the trade with the Orient, which has
heretofore gone by way of San Kianciwu. f
will be diverted to the new line. The.
assistance of (he Great Northern with
its Eastern connections wilt be ol in
calculable benefit to the company. Tho
beginning of the service on May 1 wtlr
insure a good healthy commence uieiit to (
the enterprise. The tea season in the
Orient opens about that' time, and this
will enable the Oregon Railway & Navi-i
gation Company to get its hands on a,
lot of cargo, which will pruvo very ac
ceptable freight for the transcontinental
line. e.v -,i j , i r
It is generally believed (lint, the prime ,
mover in fhenewenterprise is the l'ici--dent
of the Xiieat Northern.. Mr.- Hill (
has an ambition to shine in the Im-inms t
world as a great steams-hip matrnaie.
He hns already done some wonilos in
that line and mny do more. As 1'iesi-,
dent of the Northern Steamship. Com
pany he has built up a service between
Buffalo and Duluth which is not ex-
celled by that of any other line on the
lakes. The two principal steamer of
the line, the North West and tiie North
Land, are as fine craft as are afloat any
where. ''. ' ' - ; ; - .
