FLEET HAS TONNAGE 07 60,000.
Four steamers of the Hamburg-American
line, with a combined net registered
tonnage Of 18,379, have been chartered
by the Portland-Asiatic company to take
the place of the Indra liners, the char
ters of which have about expired. The
steamers are modern freighters and
practically new. They are the Aragonla,
5,198 tons; Arabia, 4,438 tons; Nlcome
dla, 4,87! tons, and Nuraatla, 4,871 tons.
Excepting the Aragonla, they were all
built in 1901, and for handling freight
rapidly are equipped with all the latest
appliances. The steamers have a dead
weight carrying capacity of from 7,000
to 8,000 tons each.
In connection -with the four China
Commercial liners, the new vessels will
be operated between Portland and the
Orient. The combined oarrylng capacity
of the eight steamers amountqpto almost
80,000 tons, and it is Intended to have
an Oriental vessel sailing from Portland
every 10 days. The new schedule will
go Into effect about May 1. It will
probably be prepared Immediately upon
the arrival of R. P. Scherwln, general
manager of the line, who Is expected
in a few days from New York.
The news of the change has been
known by officials In the local office
for the past few days, but until late
yesterday afternoon they were not au
thorised to give it out Until very re
cently it was presumed that the Indra
liners would be re-chartered, but on ac
count of the growing trade it was de
cided to replace them with larger and
more modern freighters. One of the
new steamers is plying between Hong
kong and other points in the far east,
while the others have been running be
tween New York and the Orient Just
where they are located at present none
of the local officials know, but it is
said they are available to be placed
in commission by early spring.
The Indra steamers will go on the run
between New York and the Orient Word
was received this morning that the In
drasamha arrived at Hongkong yester
