PACIFIC TONNAGE INCREASES.
Remarkable change in shipment

Remarkable Change I'm shipments
Noted In Recent Years.
Ralph ID. Paine in an article entitled
..Steam and Sail ON the Pacific" in the
Outing Magazine, makes an interest
ing comparison regarding the increase
in tonnage Of American vessels on the
Pacific.
When Mr.. Paine first crossed the Pa
cific to act in the capacity of a war cor
respondent in the China-Japan war, he
found in use few boats which had
proved too small and slow for use in
the Atlantic service. Reyisiting the
Pacific coast last autumn in the inter-
est of the Outing Magazine he found
the following remarkable change had
taken place.
In 1897 the toal tonnage Of Ameri-
can steam vessels engaged in the Pa
cific Ocean was 23.426; in 1905 1t had
increased to 1865, by which time
more vessels in foreign trade were
owned in Washington than in any other
State in the Union.
From Seattle now sail the magnifi-
cent steamers Minnesota and Dakota,
built for James j. Hill, which would
loom as giants on the swarming Allan
tic, and from San Francisco steams the
new fleet of majestic liners of the 10
rea and Manchuria class, created by the
Pacific Mail. Out of Tacoma voyage
westward the new ships of the Boston
Steamship Company; the China Mutu-
ri Navigation Company has invaded
the field with monthly line from
Puget Sound to Liverpool and Glas-
gov via oriental pcrts, and the Ger
mans are building up new service
out of Portland. Besides these regu-
lar lines, unattached freighters under
steam and sail are hurrying to and
from these ports in greater fleets each
year. Far to the southwark the break
water at San Pedro stretches out a
mighty arm to shelter the coming
sQuadrons of commerce. New ships are
building to meet new demands, and yet
with almost every voyage the liners
leave behind them waiting cargoes for
which they have no space, whose bulk
is measured by hundreds of carloads.
In the first half of last year ten ships
were filed with freight left behind by
steamers out of Seattle and Tacoma.
