were after the steamer Alameda a few
days ago, with a view of purchasing
the vessel for use on the Portland
route, but there will be no change of
ownership, for the Alameda is to re-
main on the Honolulu run. SO far
as equipment and general require
nents go. the Alameda would make an
ideal liner on the Portland route, but
she draws a little too much water for
the Columbia river bar. And her value
to the Spreckels company is more than
anybody could afford to pay for her
In the market the Alameda might
bring 1925 900. but il is doubtful wheth-
er she could be purchased from her
present owners for less than $500 000-
She has proved her worth on the Ho-
nolulu route for the Oceanic Company,
and is now better fitted than ever to
remain in that service. It is not un-
likely that the san Francisco and Port
land Steamship Company VIII build
steamer for the northern route. TO take

the Alameda was wanted.-Chronicie.
