nndrr the name of the Bayocean Ex
cursion Company, completed the pur
chase yesterday of the speedy paseen
srer yacht Bayocean. built here In 1911,
and she will be the flagship of a fleet
to be assembled within the Golden Gate
for excursions to nearby points.
The vessel Is now a.t Bayocean. on
Tillamook Bay. where she has been
Wintered since her flrst season, as she
was built by the Potter Realty Com
pany, which Is interested in Bayocean
as a Summer resort. A thorough in
spection was made of the yacht and in
about a month, or as soon as conditions
are deemed favorable, she will be navi
gated to San Francisco to be prepared
for the new service.
Craft's Coat Is $40,000.
Joseph Supple turned out the Bay
ocean at his East Bide yard and per
cost Is said to have been close to 40,
0o She is one of the nattiest vessels
of the type on the Coast, and while
said by mariners to be an excellent sea
boat, proved expensive to operate, she
made a number of trips from Portland
to Bayocean and later plied between
Astoria and Tillamook Bay. but last
reason was used only as a transfer
across the bay to carry passengers
from trains to Bayocean.
the la of 150 gross and tons net
register, has a lensrth of 130.1 feet,
beam of 18.7 feet and depth of hold 7.9
feet. She has three powerful gasoline

Other Boats to Be Built.
The Bavocean Excursion Company in
ten.ls to acquire or build other vessels
and especially during the ISIS Imposi

the Coast for want of a suitable route
wiii no doubt find their way south. The
Victorian, now on Pnget Sound, is being
(i cured on for the same purpose.

where the draw rest stood soundings
show the depth to be 90 feet and at the
south extremity the depth is 85 feet.
Two steel rails, 1 feet long, are used
as a drag, they being fastened by a
line to a derrick, ana when hauled over
the bottom indicate obstructions. On
one being; encountered the diver is lm

made at once to remove it, either by
blasting or sawing off old piling.

TEXAS ONION CROP LARtiFl ONE
Acreage Is Increased nd Peaaon Is Earlier
Than Usual.
The Texas Bermuda onion crop will be
gin moving about April 1. according to
a statement made by the Southern Texas
Truckgrowers' Association. The producing
acreage for 1913 exceeds that of last year,
when 4000 cars were shipped. Estimates
for this crop are not fully made up, but
experts are of the opinion that It may ap
proximate 5000 cars. Everything has been
favorable for development and maturity.
On account of market conditions for this
product, which were the worst ever known
during the past mild Winter, Texas grow
ers do not expect anything like fancy or
even very good prices for their earlier
shipments, but they hold the hope that with
the exhaustion or setting aside of old North
ern and Western stocks prices for their
product will improve with the progress of
the season.
On account of disturbances across the bor
der the usual movement of the Mexican
onion crop Into the United States by rail Is
being greatly Interfered with. This crop,
however, which Is mostly grown by Ameri
cans, does not exceed 100 oars. It la sub
ject to the existing tariff of 40 cents pet
bushel and cannot he brought In com
mercially after the Texas crop begins to
move.
