WILL REPLACE THE COLUMBIA Steamer Senntor Clinrtcred by llnr- riuuin for Portland Trade. San Francisco, Nov. 16. Negoti ations were concluded yesterday by the Pacific Mail Company for the charter of the steamer Senator from, the Pacific Coast Steamship Compa-, ny. The Senator will now be placed on the Portland run In place of the Ill-fated Columbia. It is intended that the Senator wl'i be kept In the Portland service until next spring at least, and If possible until the two new steamers which are to be built for the Harrlman in terests on the Pacific Coast are readj for service. Nothing will be made public as to the ararngements made in New York, by Manager Schwerln with regard to the date on which the new steamers may be expected to be available for service until Schwerln's return from the East. The City of Panama, tho Costa Rica and ttie Senator will all be en gaged in the Portland trade for some time, but it is likely that the City of Panama will be used only as a freight steamer leaving tho passen ger traffic to the Senator and Costa Rica, and should trade decline to any extent, the City of Panama will be put back to her old work on the Panama route. The Senator Is now in flrst-clas3 condtion and since her extensive re pairs Is as good as a now steamer, After coming out from tho Rlsdon Iron Works sho 'did a most satisfac tory trial round the bay on Monday.

C. and Broadway FLOOD OF LETTERS AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Walter Lyon, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, is one of tho busiest men in Marshfleld, and Miss Nellson, tho stenographer, Is getting burled in a shower of letters of In quiry. Yesterday 88 letters wero re ceived In one mall. That Is a pretty good showing, and should an average be struck at that pace, a month's business would amount to 2G40 let ters, enough to keep several secre taries and stenographers busy night and day. The great interest which the Marshfleld Chamber of Com merce has arousd throughout the East by judicious advertising is shown in the flood of letters which aro streaming In every day. East erners aro becoming more and more interested and next year should seo an influx of builders and business people, homeseekers and tourists coming to Coos Bay that wll) over shadow this year's stampede by sev eral hundred per cent. The business men of Eugene, who used a page in the Pacific Monthly last year for two months, recoived somewhere between 700 and 800 replies, but tho tide which tho Coos Bay advertising '(' attracting is several times as great. The pamphlet which the Chamber of Commerce is having printed In Port land should bo ready for distribu tion very soon, nnd then all inquirers will receive one of them. These aro heralded to be tho best advertising over issued from Coos Bay, Jm 3K
