BIG STEAMER HERE.

/ Tank Ship of Texas OiI company DIScIaEees
Cargo Of Twenty-Five Thousand Cal
Ions of Crude Petroleum Vessel
will De Frequent Visitor.
An important event in the history of
DonaIdsonville, and one which may per
haDs be of far-reaching influence with ref
erence to the development of the ports
river transb bortation facilities. was the ar
rival here last Wednesday morning of the
Texas Oil Companys big tank steamer
Northwestern which, with the exception
of the battleship Mississippi and other
naval fighting machines, is the largest
vessel engaged in commercial traffic and
the first ocean-going steamship to anchor
off this port The Northwestern carried
cargo of $4,000 barrels of crude petroleum
fuel oil, which was pumped into the Texas
Company's mammoth 37,G00-barrel tank
on Bayou Lafourche, in the suburbs of
Donaldsonville, from whence it will be
distributed by means of barges and rail
road tank cars to the various patrons of
the company along Bayou Lafourche and
the line of the Texas and Pacific main
and branch line railways in this section.
This oil was taken aboard by the North
western at Port Arthur, Texas, which is
the terminus of the pipe line extending
from the Oklahoma oil fields. The North
western is $50 feet long by 43 feet beam.
and is equipped with eight oil tanks, each
having a capacity of 3125 barrels. When
fully loaded, the vessel draws Is feet of
water and is capable of speed of about
nine knots per hour, which is increased to
little over ten knots when the tanks are
empty.
The Northwestern was built on the
Great Lakes and has been in commission
about nine years. She burrs oil as fuel,
is lighted by electricity throughout, and is
equipped with the latest and most mod
ern machinery, including engines capable
of developing 24O0- horsepower.
The big steamer finished discharging
her cargo this afternoon, and will leave
tonight for New Orleans, from whence she |
will proceed to Port Arthur for another
load of Oil. The vessel will be frequent
visitor to this port in the future There is
a sufficient depth of water in the harbor to
enable her to anchor within hundred !
and fifty feet of shore, and it is proposed t
to drive clusters of piling in the river at
about that distance out to provide suit
able landing place for the steamer on her
next visit to Donaldsonville.
