Telephone May
Take Local Run
Report Is Current That New
Steamer Win Be Put On in
Opposition.

Portland advlees have It that the new
steamer Telephone. built for the Arrow
Navigation Company. Is 20 be placed on
the Astoria Portland run. The steamer
is almost ready for commission and
her probable field Is matter Of much
interest. She is reputed to have been
designed .or great speed and the
statement IL made that she will show
her heels 10 the river steamers now In
operation.
II appears to have been the original
intention OF the Arrow company to put
the new Telephone On the run between
Seattle and Whatcom, but Captain U.
B, Scott, while In Portland a few
dayg ago.expressed the conviction that
she would not pay there. and that there
In no possible opening for her. Re-
Liable reports have II that she will join
| The Astoria Portland feet. The old
white Collar line recently sold out It's
Astoria business to Jacob Kamm, who
has been enjoying monopoly OF the
| field with the o. r. & N. co. II ~ pre-
| dlcted that the advent Of the Telephone
| an the local run would precipitate a
| rate war but there is no particular
reason for this statement. The other
lines fought for time.but finally came
10 the conclusion that ,aere was ~
money to be made in rate war. Tn
less the Arrow company il prepared toI
long stMggie and consequent losses
and really entertains hope that II car
drive Kamm and the o. X. & n. co
out OF business, there is little proba
bility OF rate war.
