down the coast her cargoes will
consist mostly of lumber. The
managers and owners will be the
MacCormick- -Hauptman Company
of San Francisco and Portland.
The dimensions of the steamer
will be 165 feet in length, 36 feet
across the beam, and depth Of
hold Of l21s feet. She win be of
$50 net register tons, and have ca.
pacity for carrying 100000 feet Of

with passenger accommodations
for 80 people.
Her engines are now being built
by the Fulton iron works of San
