It Is reported that James f. Hill Is
arranging for the eonstrictloa ef two
steamers to be engaged in .the trans
paclflo trade, They are to be construct
ed on the Delaware, aad will not be as
large as the Minnesota, now running
out of Puget sound.
The report has given food for eonsld
erable discussion, and It Is believed that
possibly the veeeels will be operated out
of Portland In conjunction with the
north bank road of the Hill Interests,
That he will place steamers oa tho route
to handle a portion of the Immense quan
tity of freight that forms the commer
cial relatione between this part of the
World and the orient Is conceded a cer
tainty, and It is also contended that
whatever vessels might bs put on will
be up to date and particularly suitable
for the run.
In view of the fact that Japaneee
Steamahlp companlee are aald to be ne-
? reflating for . arrangements with ths
till interests for ths operation of a
lne of steamers out of this port, the
report from the east goes to show that
ths Hill Interests have not altogether
decided- to turn ths ocean trafflo over
to tho little brown men.

Is being diverted to Puget sound snd

"Throua-h 12 iiava and nights of al

like a paper box by the force of a tre

everything on deck away. The old fa

its accustomed place but has mingled

Captain Jacobeon lays his Inability to

SITE HOT SUITABLE
FDR OLD LADIES' HOME
By. a vote of 11 to 9 the members of
the Old Ladles' Home society decided
not to purchase the property on Wlberg
Heights near the Barr road. Offered
them aa a site for the new building
which the society hopes to erect at
some future time. .
There was much animated discussion
among the 20 members present at ths
meeting held this morning at the First
Presbyterian church, Maay ef the
members were of the opinion that no
better property could ' be found than
that offered, and considered that the
situation and the view afforded ceuld
not be bettered. Others matntalaed that
the situation was too . far from ths
city to be convenient for very old peo
ple and that the cold winds caused by
ths two rivers would make it Impossible
for the sged lamstes of the home to
be out of doors to enjoy the beauties
of ths alts. . M
The society owns lots In the Ledd
tract given the society by the late
Henry W. Corbett which may be used
as a building aits, and also ths 8. G.
