vessels was assumed by the Eastern
Shipbuilding company in April 1900
Inc company was organized and the
plans of the ships outlined IN CON
sonance with the ideas of James r.
Hill early in 1900, and the contracts as
-sumed by President Charles r. Hans
com, of the Eastern company, who had
in February of that year resigned as
superintendent of the Bath Iron works
at Bath, Me.
With the $5,00O,O0o contract in his
possession Mr.. Hanscom hurried to
New London, where years before dur
ing the trial Of warships for the United
States navy he had discovered a mat
urap' shipyard site, and here he in
tended to build these notable ships. The
chosen site acquired, there began ST.
simultaneously the construction of the
ships and the installation Of q shfpyard.
Necessarily the latter work advanced
with greater celebrity, and within eight
cen months the shipyard equipment
was complete, and then work on the
vessels began in real earnest.
The steamship Minnesota was
launched April 16, 1903, and though
not nearly so far advanced then as Is
the Dakota today, she will be ready
for her trial trip in July next, and the
Dakota will, it is confidently antici-
pated, be ready for service in Septem-
ber In the meantime great wharves
have been constructed at Seattle for
docking the vessels, and, as Mr. Hill
said recently when asked If he was not
going very slow in putting his new line
into service:
The Dakota and Minnesota will COM

gers. The passengers are not only sep
arated from the noise and general in
convenience incident to the operation
of vessel, but, being amidships, they
are removed from the vibration of the
vessel and are subject to but little of
the pitching motion, if any,-ef the ves-
sci.
Although primarily freight vessels,
the Hill liners will have accommoda-
lions for $50 first-class passengers, 100
Second-claSs passengers, 100 third-class
passengers and 1000 steerage passen-
gers. There are also quarters for the
accommodation of 1900 troops, or a
regiment. The total cargo capacity is
10000 tons. The officers and crew OF
the vessel will number 500.
The finish and furnishing Of all the
cabins is on a scale of elegance, taste
and convenience to command the adj
miration of the travelling public.
The cargo capacity of the Dakota and
her sister ship alone will each equal that
Of a fleet of six Pacific steamships Of
the usual size. Forty-f cargo
winches, through twice the number of
matches the Cedric contains, will feed
the tremendous NAV or each of the
ships.
For her own consumption during a
single trip each will take on more than
5000 tons of coal and 5000 tons of
water. Twice as large as a modern
battleship, each leviathan could carry
ten full regiments with their equipment
from an eightinch gun down.
Taking steam from water-tube boil
ers, engines aggregating 10000 horse
power will drive them at an average
speed of fourteen knots. The engines
are of the triple expansion type.
There are four boiler rooms, each
containing four boilers. Three of these
batteries of boilers could drive the
ship, SO that the cutting out of a few
boilers would not cripple her.
Ali the staterooms are on the out
side. Furnishings, comforts and deco
rations are to rank with those on the
Atlantic passenger greyhounds.
Twenty-Five miles Of electric wiring
conveys power to all the auxiliary
mechanisms and furnishes lighting.
Each ship will have refrigeratlng
apparatus, making it practicable to
for an indefinite period to Asiatic mar
kets.
Ships Cost 100000.
The cost Of the twin ships is placed
at $5,000,000, a moderate sum, con-
sidering their utility and practical de-
sign.
The dead weight carrying capacity of
the Dakota is $4,000 tons, and with
her sister ship, the Minnesota, will
carry $4,000 long tons Of coal and $780,
600 barrels of flour.
AS compared with the largest steam
ships built at the American shipyards

sofa sagacity and foresight fastened
the awakening of the Asiatic world; a
prairie maiden sped a message of good
will to millions of her sisters beyond
the farthest seas-yesterday the great
steamship Dakota, christened by Miss
Mary Bell Pennington, left the land to
float beside her twin ship Minnesota.
Prominent Northwesterners and lead
ing men from Eastern cities joined their
personal congratulations to the written
and telegraphed compliments received
by James ]. Hill upon the successful
launching of the twin to the largest
vessel that the world has seen. And if
the Dakota is no vaster than the Min
nesota, both commonwealth have more
reason to be proud that their names
have thus been honored without dis
elimination.
Experts in the building of big ships
were loud in praise of the launching
methods adopted by President Hanscom
and his assistants of the Eastern Ship
building company. The same admired
the superior workmanship of q vessel

Largest in the World.
Steamships Dakota and Minnesota
are the largest freight and passenger
, carriers in the world, af1oat or in the
stocks, or even designed. Their dimen-
sions are: Length $50 feet; breadth,
IS feet 6 inches; nodded depth, SO feet.
On a draught of 81 feet the displace-
ment will be $4,000 tons. On draught
of 40 feet, which is possible. with per-
feet stability and ample freeboard,
either will have a displacement of 49,
600 TONS or 230 tons more than the
great White Star liner Cedric, with 80

the plating being carried up every
where to the upper deck, which is flush
throughout the whole length of the
ship. The greater depth and more
bulky model of the new ships account
for their exceeding the longer and
broader White Star boat in displace-
ment.
From the outer bottom Of the Dakota
to her navigating bridge there are no
less than eleven distinct decks or plat
forms. First, there is the outer bot
tom Of the ship; six feet above that
is the inner bottom, which forms the
floor of the vessel; then follow, all
within the plated structure, the orlop,
lower, between, main and upper decks.
All these decks are of steel plating, and
the whole enclosed structure is f1fty-six
feet in height.
Above the upper deck, and in regu-
lar order, are the promenade deck, the
upper promenade deck, and the boat
deck, the boat deck being Is feet s
inches above the promenade deck, or
81 feet inches above the keel; an
other feet above this deck, or, say,
80 feet above the keel, Is the navigat-
ing bridge
When the Dakota is of 33 feet
draught, it follows that the navigating
bridge will be 81 feet above the water
line; and in light condition, when she
may draw but IL feet of water; the
same bridge, when the vessel Is run
ming light will be 73 feet above the
water, and the passengers on the upper
promenade deck will be SIS feet above
the water line, and the passengers OH
the upper promenade deck will be IS
feet above the water line At a medium
draught of % feet the passengers can
promenade at height Of so feet above
the sea INvel.
1t has been ascertained that the big
gest waves seldom exceed 80 feet in
height. If that is so, passengers on
these ships, even in the stormiest
weather, will be able to look down upon
the Pacific rollers from height 80
feet above the crests.
Vibration Won't Affect Passengers.
The decks above the upper deck

the American line, have 10000 tonnage.
The Dakota and Minnesota, on the
usual basis of 40 cubic feet to the cargo
ton, have cargo space for 81 ,652 long
tons, while the actual dead weight car
rying capacity is $4,000.
The strength of the Dakota's hull is
shown by the fact that it is twice as
thick as that of the American battle
ship Oregon. Where the Oregon uses
steel deck plating of half-inch thick
ness the Dakota uses an inch to an
inch and-a- quarter plate. Where the
Oregon uses main frame six by three
and one-h half inches the Dakota uses
a twelve-inch.
In the hull and decks of the Dakota
there are no less than $4,000 tons of
steel plates and shapes and 375 tons of
r1vets, a greater total of steel strength
than is found in the hull Of the great
est battleship or of any other merchant
vessel in the world. 1t Is interesting
to note by comparison that the Park
Row building in New York contains
5000 tons Of structural iron and steel,
or one-quarter less than used in the
Dakota; that the Frick building in
Pittsburg contains 1900 tons, or near
ly 40 per cent less, and that the Old
Colony building in Chicago contains g.
500 tons of structural iron and steel, or
less than one-fourth that In the Da-
kota.
The Greatest Day.
''The greatest day in all shipyards is
a launching day. the Importance Of the
event increasing with the size Of the
vessel to be launched"
Reminding his fellow shipbuilders Of
this fact in paper read last November
before the Society Of Naval Architects
and Marine Engineers, New York city,
President Charles r. Hanscom, of the
Eastern Shipbuilding company, then
added:
'fThe problem we had to solve in the
launching of the Minnesota, the Da-
kota's twin, was to drop a mass Of
metal weighing nearly 100000 tons
through a distance of thirty feet in
such manner that no part of the vast
strl cture should be strained"
Extraordinary precautions must be
taken at every launching to provide a
temporary substitute, throughout the
entire process, for the soft yet strong

CROP INSURANCE.

We call attention to the ad. of the
Park Region Mutual Hail Insurance
Association which will be found in
another column of this paper. This
is one of the oldest and most reliable
hail insurance companies doing bus
mess in the United States. 1t was
organized in Minnesota in 1894, but
has since extended it's business to a
number of States. It began business
in North Carolina in the early
spring of 1902, and has sustained
something like 500 losses in this
State, every one of which, we are in
formed, has been satisfactorily ad-
justed and paid in full by the Com
pany. Many of these losses have been
very large ones and their payment a
great benefit to the farmers who 9th
erwise would have suffered heavy
loss. Among the larger losses paid
is that of Col. J. J. Laughinghouse,
of Pitt County, who in 1902, was
paid $1,000 for damage to his tobacco
crop. The Company insures growing
crops of all kinds against damage by
hail storms. The cost of carrying
the insurance is reasonable, and
every farmer owes it to himself, to
his family and to his creditors to
protect his growing crops, and there
is no better way of protecting them
than by taking a policy with The
Park Region Mutual Hail Insurance
Association whose branch office in
this State is located in Raleigh.
