the way for its steamships Nevadan
and Nebraskan to touch at Portland on
| their triangular run between SAN Fran
cisco, Seattle and Honolulu, and ac-
/ cording to a telegram received this
morning the Neyadan will be here on
the evening Of the 10Th of this month.
She will be followed by the Nebraskan.
All kinds of pressure has been
brought To bear upon the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company during
recent years to have the steamers make
Portland port of call, but until today
the response has been in the nature of
vague promises only. A few weeks
ago the announcement was made that
by the first of next year Portland
! would be placed on the American-Ha-
waiian Steamship Company's map.
Meanwhile the Matson Navigation
Steamship Company was induced to
place the steamer HiIonian on the run
with the intention of operating her on
a monthly schedule. The Matson Nav
igation Company has carried out its
part of the contract so far and the
Hilonian will sail this evening on her
first voyage from Portland.
With the Inauguration of the new
line the Americana Hawaiian Steamship
Company suddenly discovered that it
could send it's boats to Portland before
the first of January next and rushed
the information by wire to the C. F.
Beebe Company. the concerns local
agent. Mr.. Beebe has done everything
in his power to have the steamers call
here, but according to information re-
Gently received from the East the.
American-Hawaiian people had all the
business they cared to handle and so
they saw no particular use in develop
ing the trade of Portland.
Tbs announcement Of the coming of
the steamers created no great commo-
tion in shipping circles this morning,
because there is no crying need for
bottoms now that the Hilonian is in
commission. although the news of an
increase in the deep-sea fleet was re-
ceived with satisfaction
The Nevadan and Nebraskan are
large steamers and will be able to
handle the overflow from the Hilonian,
Connecting with the steamers from
New York, the Nevadan and Nebras-
kan will also give what may be termed
a direct service between Portland and
the Atlantic coast with a saving of
time On account of the tieup of the

EARTH BALLAST NOT WANTED. |
Twelve hundred tons of earth ballast
in the hold of the American ship |
Atlas, brought here from Yokohama, !
must be dumped overheard at sea, and
this will require that the boat be tow
The Atlas is a Standard Oil boat and
that company, represented by an at
torney, as well as Capt. Amberman of
the Atlas, protested against this order |
of the authorities. But in the end it |
was apparent that although the
Standard Oil owns d good part of the
earth as well as that in the Atlas hold,
it couldn't run things here. The result
is that the captain decided to do as
the authorities ordered. He said he
was fearful that his ship would turn
turtle. He was advised then to take
in sugar as stiffening before discharg-
ing the earth. This advice will be fol-
lowed. The expense to Captain Am
herman will be in the neighborhood of
$1,000. It will take about six days to
discharge the ballast. Neither YOko-
hama earth or Shanghai mud brought |
here as ballast can be discharged
ashore. This is a health precaution.
