FLAVEL IS THE TERMINUS FOR THESE SHIPS The Great Northern, the first of the Hill ocean grayhounda to be completed, will be ready to take her trial spin by the latter part of next month, and she will be ready for her trip from Philadelphia to the mouth of the Columbia River, ivia the Panama Canal, not later than January 25th. L. C. Oilman, president of the Hill lines in Oregon and chief executive of the Great Northern Steamship Company, which will operate the palatial passenger steam erB between the Columbia River and California, has just arrived from an inspection of these twin leviathans, which are being built at a cost of J5.000.000 at the Cramp Shipbuilding Yards. - , . -.. "The Great Northern ia structurally complete rigrht now," said Mr. Oilman. "All she needs is her furnishings, fixtures and interior decorations Installed. While her sister ship, the Northern Pacific, was launched only a short time ago, she was much further along structurally when she took her maiden dip than was the Great Northern, and the Cramp people definitely assured me that the Northern Pacific will not be more than six weeks behind the Great Northern, so that she ought to be ready to start for the Coast by March 1st. "Calvin Stone, the new traffic manager of the operating company, ia now in New York and Philadelphia arranging for obtaining a full cargo of freight and a big passenger list for the steamers on their trips thrdugh the canal to the Coast, and be will not have any trouble in getting the business, from all present indica tions. ' . SALESMEN WANTED. Can You Wonder That "Flayer Is Being Utilized4 "FLAVEL" is at the terminus of the only down-grade haul, both by water and rail, on the Pacific Coast. "FLAVEL" is at the terminus of a water competitor (the Columbia River) that is forcing the railroads to use the gravity route to the sea. "FLAVEL" is on one of the finest fresh water, ocean side, land-locked harbors in the world, and the only one on the bI - Pacific Coast. "FLAVEL" is nearer the Orient by 294 miles on the round trip than is Seattle. "FLAVEL" is nearest the Orient by 846 . miles on the round trip than is San Francisco. . "FLAVEL" is nearer New York or Liverpool on a round trip by 600 miles than any point on Puget Sound. "FLAVEL" is the point where two ships of the same speed leaving New York or a European port arriving at the mouth of the Columbia River at the same time, the one landing at "FLAVEL" can discharge and load her cargo and be on its way to its destination before the ship Jbound for Puget Sound reaches the Seattle Harbor. "FLAVEL" is that interchange where two passengers leaving Seattle on the Shasta Limited bound for San Fran cisco, the one routed via "FLAVEL" on the Hill steamers will arrive in San Francisco before the through passenger arrives on the Shasta Lim ited.
