BOAT MAKES MONEY
New Unit of American Merchant Ma
rine Chartered Through Portland
The Pacific coast sales agent for
several large shipbuilding and foundry
companies reports to the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce that
the new steamer Pacific, which was
built in San Francisco, and which last
month made a successful trial in San-
Francisco Bay, has been chartered by
a prominent exporting firm in Port
land, Oregon, at the record figure of
$31.50 per ton for delivery from either
Portland or Puget Sound to France.
The Pacific is a 9,000-ton carrier,!
and will draw in freight charges fori
her trip from Portland to France
$283,500. The voyage will take 90
days by way of the Straits of Magel-'
lan, giving a gross income per cjay of
$3,150. The price is more than the
vessel's owners asked originally. The
steamship agents in San Francisco
had offers from at least seven different
exporting firms, the correspondent of;
the Bureau states, and this accounted
for the increase in charges. j
The conditions disclosed are cited
by the sales agent as emphasizing the
need of tonnage on the Pacific coast
