Victoria Colonist.-An announcement
of surprising Importance to the ship
ping interests of Western Canada has
been made by President Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy OF the Canadian Pacific
railway, who reached the coast yester
! day in the course of his annual toul
of inspection of the company s western
service, being nothing less than init
nation that larger, faster and in every
way more modern and adequate vessel;
will shortly be placed on the Pacific run
| to meet the growing necessities of the
established trade.
To quote d Vancouver special of this
morning, President Shaughnessy says
| that in view of the growing orienta
trade, the question of large and faster
vessels for the Pacific is now receiving
special attention by the G. P. r. com

Expresses viii be moved to the Pacific
or new ones built is not quite decided
but in any event the improvement viii
be made very soon.
As soon as the rush is over this yeal
a start will be made on construction
of a magnificent new hotel in Van
couver.

grant of sixty-one acres at the east
end of False Creek, and he advised

well repaid in the bargain.
Koko Head and Lahaina.
VANCOUVER, B. c., September 81
More than ordinary interest centers il
the coming race between two American
sailing vessels with lumber from this
port for Sydney, Australia. One rea
son for this is that the vessels, the
barkentines Koko Head and Lahaina
are sister ships and both accounted
smart sailers. These vessels, now load
ing lumber at the Hastings mill, vii
complete their cargoes about the same
time and both expect to leave within
a few days of each other, if not on the
same day. Both are bound for th'
/ same port and will carry the same
/ amount of cargo, so that the condi
! tions of the race will be more equa
! than is usually the case in a contes
between two sailing vessels.
| The two carriers are owned by Hind
Rolph q Co. of San Francisco. The,
| will get away for Australia about tn,
| first week in October The captains
| have wagered the finest dinner that Svd
ney can afford on the result of tn,
! passage. The Koko Head was built il
| 1902 at Oakland, Cal, and the Lahain;
