WILL COST ABOUT $4,000 EACH
FiraI Arrangements Will be Made
Today, and Work on Vessels
Starts at Once, Making Employment
For Many Additional Men-Mere
Runner Concerning Good news
Creates Sensation Throughout the
City.

Contracts for the construction
of two large freight and passcn-
ger steamers. to cost about
$758. 1000 each, for service on the
Pacific coast, have been secured
by the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company.
Final arrangements in connec-
ton with the contracts will be
completed some time today. and
york on the vessels will begin at
once.
This is the biggest piece Of
news that has come to Newport
News for many a long day. and a
mere rumor on the streets to the
effect that the contracts had been
landed caused a sensation yester-
day evening. The telephone bells
were ringing in the Daily Press
ONCE all throughout the early
part OF the night, and scores Of
jubnant people gave vent to
ecstatic ordinations over the
wire when the great news was
confirmed.
Although the contract price for
10th of the new vessels amounts
to only about half the cost of
great battleship, as far as the
employment of labor is concerned
and the actual value to the COM
munity. these contracts are worth
pearly as much as one Of the much
coveted battleships. Indeed the
value Of the new job to the COM
mnnity just at this time. when
work has been rather scarce at
the yard. is ;nestimable. It puts
the community on its feet again,
and ensures a bright and pros
porous spring and summer.
Not Talking Vet.
? Although the oficials Of the
shipyard decline to confirm the
Lcws concerning the contracts or
to discuss it at all for publ c.
tion. the Daily Press received its
information tn. ough sources that
are absolutely reliable. and the
PAPER is in a position to state
positively that the work has been
secured.
It is probable that oficial con-
fiImat.On OF the news will be
forthcoming from the yard Office
today.
For New Fleet.
I, is understood that the new
ships will bc constructed for the
San Francisco and Portland
Steamship Company. and will be-
used on the line between Frisco
and Portland. with the steamship

chased By this company some
weeks ago.
