is understood the boat will be put on the
run between Seattle and Olympla.
The name well fits the boat. She Is long
and narrow, and Is sure to be fast. Her
lines were laid down to provide as speedy
n boat as runs In the Northwest. Her
builder modestly says she -will make IS
miles an hour, but 'old-time river men say
the -will do 20 miles 'jr.. better. "ThA Arrqw
is ! icet long, win oniy lect oeam.
Her depth Is 9.3 feet. Triple expansion en
gines of 1100 horsepower, built by Wlllard
ic Co.. of Chicago, furnish the motive
power. Steam is generated In two Taylor
water-tube boilers from the works of the
Taylor Bolljr Company, at Detroit.
The steamer Is built for the purpose of
carrying passengers, and has no freight
room. There Is a cabin on the main deck,
and another larger one on the upper deck.
Stairways fore and aft reach the upper
cabin. Seating capacity will be provided
for 330 passengers. The people who travel
on the Arrow will enjoy all the comforts
that fall to the lot of those who ride In a
Pullman palace car. Unlike most steam
boats, the Arrow will be fitted with seats
similar to those in the best passenger
cars, one at each of the many windows
that line the sides of the boat. There Is
no dining saloon aboard, but temporary
tables, such as arc used In railway diners,
can be placed before each seat, and there
the passengers will be served with their
meals. A' bar and smoking-room for the
male travelers Is placed forward on tho
main deck, and In the after end Is the
ladles' cabin. The officers" rooms are on
the upper deck.
The Interior furnishings of the boat will
be handsome, rather than elaborate. The
cabins will be white and' gold, with the
space beneath the windows finished In
Uncrusta walton. Incandescent lights will
be numerous. All the cabins are to be
carpeted with Brussels and the passage
ways laid with linoleum.
Captain James Cochran figures in the
contract as the owner of the Arrow. Ac
cording to rumor, she was built for a
Puget Sound syndicate to run between
01ympla"find Seattle. The service on that
route has for a long time been unsatisfac
tory to passenger travel. It la also said
that another boat on the same lines, but
somewhat larger, will also be built by 3Ir.
Paquet for the same people. Work began
on the Arrow August 1. and hardly a day
of the six months has been lost. The fin
ishing touches will require about 20 days
more, and then the boat 'will be ready to
steam around to Puget Sound. In a day or
two she will be turned over to the AVU
lamette Iron Works dock to receive her
smokestack. The total cost of the Arrow
Is placed at 340.000.
3Ir. Paquet. who has been building
boats for 40 years, was highly pleased
with the launching of the Arrow yester
day "These wise fellows along the river,"
he said, "have been predicting all kinds of
trouble for us. They said the Arrow was
so narrow she would capsize when she
struck the water. I launched a boat once
around a curve, so I wasn't afraid of any
trouble with this one."

The steam schooner Sequoia, undergoing

In as soon as possible. Yesterday he had
a large force of men completing the re
pairs. The steamer was badly damaged

Harbor. The stern timbers were crushes.
part of tne keel was torn away and the
rudder post ruined. The screw also was

Portland. Captain Hlnkle expresses him
self as well satisfied with the work.
