Portland . shipper have the rreatest
Interest In the tncorporation yesterday
of ths "Atlantic & Pacific Transport
Company of Nrfw Jersey." at an au-yiat he iB not a railway representative
thorlsed capital of $15,000,000
the first large plan for sending Amep
' lean ships between American pot!
through ths Panama canl. The fact
hat service will be exirnnea 10 rori:
land adds to the importance of ths en-
, tsrprles.
t Ths headauarters will bs in Baltl
more, but branch offices will be main
talned In the principal seaboard cities
on ths Atlantic and raciric coasxs ana
on the Gulf of Mexico.
The company has been formed to bid
ion the ocean mall services now being
advertised for by the postmaster gen
ml, which call for weekly service be-
. tween New York and colon: New or
.leans and Colon: San Francisco and
Panama and fortnightly between Seat
tie and Panama, and it is proposed to
.establish and maintain these ocean
routes and to extend the services
through the Psnama. canal from coast
to coast.
' The incorporators are:
Y B. N. Baker of Baltimore, formerly
president of the Atlantic Transport
company.
' James 8. Whiteley of Baltimore, for
merly vice president of ths Atlantic
-Transport company.
C. Q. Helm of Baltimore, formerly
tresurer of the Atlantic Transport
company.
T. B. Harrison of Baltimore, former
ly secretary of the Atlantic Transport
'company.
v Adrian H. Boole ojl Washington, for
merly Boston partner of the American
agency of the Wilson steamship lines
of Hull. England.
To Build IB Steamers.
Plans are under way for the immedi
ate construction of not less than 15
Steamers of the speed and else neces
sary to comply with all the require
ments of the "Ocean Mall Act" of 1891.
The mall contracts provide that
Colon, and from. San- Francisco thejr
must stop at Ban redro tL.os Angeies;
and San DJego en route to Panama, and
when from Seattle they must stop ajt
Astoria (Portland) enroute to Panama
With these mail routes extended
through the canal and the steamers In
terchanging positions, complete trips
from coast to coast, stopping at a.11
these ports, will be made every week
the year round, thus giving effectual
Interchange of business between the
Atlantic snd Paclflo littorals", I. e 104
dirrct sailings with 62 Intermediate
calls a year from the Atlantic to the
Pacific porta, with the opportunity for
full return cargoes without any re
handling in transit.
kulea Are Stringent.
In order that the trade advantages
of the canal may be developed to the
greatest benefit- snd profit of the peo
ple of the United States, the postmas
ter general"s instructions to bidders
declare that the contract will not be
awarded "to any bidder who shall be
engaged in any competitive transporta
tion tusiness by rail." Every person
elected as a director must take an oath
r is acting in the Interest or any
railway corporation.
Further. sS a protection against rail
way control, the following Is in the
t'harter: "Each stockholder shall be
entitled to one vote for each share of
capital stock held or owned up to
6000 shares and to one vote for each
additional two shares up to 10,000
shares-, and thereafter he shall be en
titled to one vote for each additional 10
shares he may hold or own. After the
first election the directors shsll serve
five years; so that It would require at
least three years to gain a new ma
jority in the board.
Ballroad Pool Anered.
Three years ago the government saw
that unless new ships were built Amer
ica would open Jhe costliest canai in
th world with Dractleally no American
ships to use It In 1808 Secretary of
War Wright asked B. N. Baker, who
hsd been in the steamship business zo
years, to ascenain wny i '"
route was not being uuiikco. rar.
Raker made personal visits to the Isth
mus and the cities of the Pacific coast
and the resulta were contained in a
statement which was transmitted Feb
ruary' 10. 1910, to the senate committee
on lnteroceanlc canals. It was shown
that the transcontinental railroad pool
had been paying over $1,000,000 a year
to the Panama railroad company to sup
press wster competition' by way of
Panama. Other trips to Panama and to
the coast were made and on request
of the secretary of war Mr. Baker form
ulated plans for the commercial utiliza
tion of the canal. The government Is
now advertising for the mail services
and The Atlantic and Pacific Transport
line Is the embodiment of these sug
gestions and recommendations.
4,000,000 Tons of rreigat-
The annual traffic from coast to
coast was estimated by the carriers
steamers from New York must stop at Uo be 8,000,000 tons two years
each year, which will mean 4,290,000
tons when the Panama canal is opened.
Increased facilities for shipping have
never failed to Increase) the volume of
business srt that there will always be
enough traffic fo,r bpth railroads and
steamship lines.
The new ships In ocean comfort and
luxury will surpass the best that is
be-lng done today in Europe. Special
apparatus will keep the temperature of
the ship even throughout tfte trip. A
passenger may sail from New York to
San Francisco or Seattle In a room
which he can keep at any temperature
he desires! The cost of the trip will
be about two-thirds of the coat of tha
railway Journey all expenses considered.
The new line expects to do a large
business during the San Francisco ex
position and slso to turn much travef
to the attractive places of South and
Central America.
Through its proposed terminals at
Now Orleans the Atlantic and Pacific
Transport compnny will be In touch
with the 16,000 miles. of navtgable Is
land water that reach the cities and
towns of the Mississippi valley.
Large Profits Been,
When passing through the Panama
canal the-new company will also handle
a vast traffic at the Panama and Colon
terminals. Thin will consist 1) of
transshipments to and from Central
American markets served by the com
pany's barges, and (2) transshipments
to and from the canal In connection with
forelcrn ships from all parts of the
world. .
Provision has already been made by
the government for such traffic at the
canal entrances. Large piers and ware
houses are being constructed under
plans suggested by B. , N. Baker and
adopted by the -Isthmian Canal com
mission. Within easy water communi
cation of Colon and Balboa there are
14,000,000 people representing $135,000,
000 of commerce. Of this, less than 19,
000,000 was brought from and less than
$18,000,000 shipped to the United States
last year. It Is thus seen that the
extraordinary condition exists of these
14. 000, 000 people buying annually but
S4 cents per capita from the United
States while spending $3.68 per capita
for similar commodities in other coun
tries which are more remote.
To meet this situation and to give
the greatest possible stimulus to the
development of our commerce with the
Central and South American countries
near the canaP zone, It is the purpose
of the Atlantic and Pacific Transport
line. to Inaugurate a system of seagoing
barges to operate up atid down the
coasts of these countries from the canal
entrances and connect with the mall
steamers from the United 8tates. These
barges of light draft will be able to
penetrate the numerous shoal bays,
roadsteds and rivers, and hulld up an
enormous traffic transferred to the big
ships.
These sddltlonal services will operste
from Portland, Maine, Boston, Philadel
phia, Baltimore. Norfolk, Jacksonville,
Kev West, Mobile and Galveston,
porta., and' vie versa. "In short," to
use the word of the company, "it Is
the purpose of this line to develop the
entire domestic comm.ro of the coun
try via the Panama canal as fully as it
may be done, by modern water trans
portation.
Authority Is Denied. "
Indianapolis, Sept 4. Judge Remsler
of the circuit court today decided that

satisfaction in being able to present a garment of this quality,
style and workmanship repays us for the loss of profit.
