MORE PACIFIC LINERS.

Chicago. Oct. 2s.-The management
OF the Hartman lines is preparing to
make vigorous campaign for increas.
ed Oriental traffic through Portland.
With this end In view orders will soon
be given for the construction OF four
mammoth ocean.gofng steamers to ply
between Portland and Asiatic ports
The cost of the steamers will be be,
tween $2,0OO.00O and 100000 each
and their tonnage will probably be as
large as those which are building foI
the Hill lines. For several years all
OF the Coast line arrangements have
realized that the battle of the future
In the West will be for Oriental traffic
James J. Hill has taken the lead In pre-
pairing for this trade. and the Others
have been slow to follow. The awak
ening, however, has come and the San
ia Fe and Hartman lines are making
every effort to rival Hill's campaign.
