MAIDEN TRIP
Excursion Steamer of Obser

LUNCH SERVED ON BOARD
First Propeller Type Vessel on Co
lombia Can Accommodate 350
Passengers and Is Almost
Free From Vibration.
Ideal weather smiled on the passen
rer steamer Georgiana for her trial
trip down the Willamette and Colum
bia rivers ' yesterday. That, with the
substantial lunch and the' absence of
vibration from the engines, made the
trip to St. Helens and back a tnor-eug-lrly
enjoyable outing for the 275
guest of the Harklns Transportation
Company.
The steamer left her dock at the foot
of Washington street at 11:15. At no
time on the way down stream did she
do- much better than half speed, but
cn ' the ' return trip she made spurts
wlik-o showed that she can travel 17
initM an hour and better. She was
back1 at the Washington-street dock
at 4:o0-
The Georgiana is licensed to carry
350 passengers, but Captain L. P.
Hosford says she could easily carry
600. and' she has a seating capacity
of 465. She is a propeller passenger
nteamer of the observation type. She
lm a. triDte-expansion engine of SOO
horsepower, built by the Seabury Com
pany. of New York. The steamer was
designed by F. A. Ballin and built by
r:ntaJn L. P. Hosford in Supple's ship
yard. Her length is 145 feet and her
beam 22 feet.
Seating Capacity Large.
On the lower deck are the engines
ana boiler-rooms, the smoking-room,
th dlninsr-room. the galley and the
lavatories. There are seats for 125
on this deck. The main deck Is al
most entirely occupied by one long
observation saloon, with seats looking
forward like those in a railway coacn
along each side, and a double row run
ning fore and aft along the middle of
the saloon. There are open spaces fore
and aft of the saloon. Altogether there
are seats for 237 on this deck. On
the uDtier deck there are six state
. rooms, with two berths each. There
are seating accommodations for 100
mora on this deck.
Everyone on board seemed to be de
lighted with the Georgiana. Here are
a few of the opinions expressed of
the boat and her capabilities:
Marcus Talbot, general manager Port
of Portland Commission: "The Georgi
ana is a departure from the ordinary
river passenger boat in being a pro
peller instead of a stern-wheelen. 8t
ought to be a success because of her
ample passenger accommodation. I
think Captain Hosford and his asso
ciates should be given a great deal of
credit for their enterprise In building
a boat of this kind."
Commissioner Daly: "She is not only
a handsome, but a speedy boat. I be
lieve she will be Instrumental In the
beeinninsr of a big river traffic. Port
land always has been short on this
kind of steamer. Our greatest asset is
the Columbia River, and. the better we
how it the better we will prosper.
Government Inspectors FIcaaed.
Captain Meany, assistant United
Btates Inspector of Hulls: "The Geor
giana Is one of the best equipped boats
in the district. She is up to date, well
built and in every way adapted, to the
purpose for which she was built.
George F. Fuller, United States In
spector of Boilers: "She is a roomy,
convenient boat, well adapted for the
excursion passenger trade anywhere on
the Columbia River. She is the only
exclusively passenger boat In this local
district. She is a well-appointed, neat
little boat."
Franklin T. Griffith, president Port
land Railway. Light & Power Com
pany: "I believe that this boat can
make the trip to Astoria in quick
enough time to keep the people from
setting tired of it five hours. 6he Is
comfortable and has the appearance of
peed.
Chief of Police Clark: 'I think she
Is a crackerjack, one of the nicest lit
tie boats I ever ran on, and I used to
run on the Mississippi and was a pilot
on the Minnesota River before I be
came a policeman. The builders ought
to be congratulated. The public will
appreciate the Georgiana."
City Attorney La Roche: "She is
delightful craft and has less vibration
than any boat I have ever been on on
the river. I hope she will be the fore
runner of more of her kind on the Co
lumbia."
Captain Hoaford Satisfied.
Captain L. P. Hosford: "I am well
pleased with the Georgiana. She rides
comfortably and develops good speed,
xuiiy up to expectations. Since
nave iouno. out now steady she is we
have arranged to carry 100 more pas
sengers on the upper deck."
Fred A. Ballin. designer of the Geor
gians.: "I am satisfied with the work
fche is a true little boat I have never
"been on any boat which had so little
vibration and her stability is wonder
ful and the arrangements for the com'
fort of her passengers excellent."
Among the prominent men who
made the trial trip were R. j.
Wood, La. F. Knowlton. A. J. Lewth-
waite. John Lewtnwaite, Captain

np HE display of fresh fruits In the

gal. The very latest is the new sea
son's pineapples from the Hawaiian
Islands. These are retailing at from
25 to 40 cents each, or 10 cents

10 and 15 cents a dozen. Oregon apri
cots, 35 cents a basket.
The fancy peaches shown are con

clings, at 15 cents a dozen, or 65 cents
basket, look very inviting, and are
'grown in Oregon," too.
A short crop of cherries was dole
fully predicted early in the season,
but the opinion hazarded today is that
there never were so many cherries
before in the state. Some especially
fine Lamberts are selling readily at

box level. A large consignment of
red currants from Salem is offered at
1.35 a crate. A number of boxes of
black currants at 15 cents a box, grown
at Woodstock, are of great interest to
old country" housekeepers with whom
the preserve is almost a medicinal
standby for coughs and colds. A few
strawberries, the last of the early sea-
sotvs crop, are offered at two boxes
for a quarter, the price asked also for
wild blackberries.
Unusually good bananas are on dis
play at 20 and 25 cents a dozen; fresh

etables in market, with few exceptions,
