NEW SHIP SAYS CEO. D- CRAY
Plans Under Way And Will
be a Modern Built Boat.
Plans have been drawn up hv
the California & Oregon Coast
Steamship Company for a new
boat which it intends to build for
operation out of Portland to Coos
Bay in conjunction with the Alli­
ance.
Bids for her construction
will soon be let, and the company
expects to have the job under way
within tlie next month.
It will
take about five months before she
is completed and ready for service.
This announcement comes offi­
cially from George B. Gray, presi­
dent of the company, who is in
the city from San Francisco look
ing after the work of giving the
Alliance her annual overhauling.
He exhibited the plans of the pro­
posed new craft this morning,
and said he had arrived at the
conclusion that in the long run it
is cheaper to build than to buy a
steamer which would require fre­
quent repairs.
In the past few days it has been
persistently reported in shipping
circles that the Alliance would be
withdrawn from the Portland-Coos
Bay route. Mr. Gray asserts that
nothing has been so far from his
purpose, but instead of that he in­
tends to improve the service in
such a manner as to afford the
Coos Bay and Portland merchants
the best transportation facilities
they have ever enjoyed.
The new steamer will be modern
in every respect— more up-to-date
