THE BAY STATE.
This VIII Be the Name of the New
Boat for Boston.

The Portland Company Are Building the
Engines-They Will Weigh, with the
Boil ers, about Five Hundred and For
ty Tons
1t has been decided that the new
steamer which is being built for the Port
land Steam Packet Company as the sister
boat to the Portland is to be named the
Bay State. This is a compliment to the
other end of the line, as was also the
naming of the fremont, while Portland
and Forest City are names familiar here.
The hull of the new steamer has al
ready been begun at the yard OF the New
England Shipbuilding Company at Bath.
The engine and boilers are to be built by
the Portland Company in this city. The
building of the moving machinery of
such steamer is great work. The
cost Of the boat entire will probably not
be far from $3.50, 900, and it is safe to say
that two-fifths of this cost goes into the
machinery.
The engine will be simple. low pres
sure, condensing. beam-acting. 1t will
work under about 81 pounds OF steam,
at 16 revolutions minute, and with its
thousand horse power will give the Bay
State speed of about II knots. There
will be two boilers, larger in diameter
than those of the Portland, and little
shorter; but on the whole having some
what greater capacity. The boilers
themselves will weigh about 40 TONS
This machinery is to be delivered the
first of March next year.
The engine is to be of the same design
as those of the State of Maine, Cumber-
land and Portland, all of which were
built by the Portland Company.
Perhaps Portland people do not appre-
ciate fully the extent and character OF
the work done by the Portland Company
In the midst of these hard times it is
employing $50 men, and the work 1T is
turning out is of the very highest class.
Its marine engines are the equals of any
made, and no steamer equipped with
one of them ever has to be tinkered at
forwards.
Within a few years the company has
made some notable additions of modern
machinery to it's plant. Its boiler shop
is absolutely the equal of any in the
country, and it has mammoth electric
crane that will take up mass weighing
35 tons as easily as man picks up his
hat, and carry it anywhere about the
shop.
Not long ago the Portland Company
offered bids for eight great pulp diges-
tiers for the Glen Falls On. " Paper
Company and four for J. J. Rogers & Co.
of Au Sable Falls. There were many
! bids, and a Western firm underbid the
Portland Company. So the manager
gave to the Westerners the Portland
Company's specifications and asked
them if they would do the work as spe-
Gifted there. They looked over the doc
ument, and then replied that they not
only would not do it for the price of their
bid but that they could not do it at all
and furthermore they did not believe
that digesters could be SO well made as
that. So the work came here, where the
boiler room has special appliances for
just such work.
