New York

The steamer Bear, one of two new
steamers built at Newport News by the
Hartman interests for the San Fran
cisco and Portland line, arrived here
yesterday after an uneventfuI run from
New York. The Bear was built TO use
liquid fuel, but burned coal on the voy-
age from New York and called at
Montevideo and CoroneI TO refill its
bunkers. The furnaces will be changed
70 oil burners at once and the Bear will
be ready for business in about three
weeks. Captain Austin. master of the
Bear, gives the new ship a good repu-
tation for steadiness- in bad weather, Of
which the coaster was given several
tastes during the run from New York.

the Bear and Beaver was signed April
q, 1909. the keels were laid June Is.
The Bear was launched October 16. had
its trial trip January 10 and was turned
over TO the owners January II. The
period Of construction was seven
months and two days, which is a record,
as the Bear and Beaver are practically
in the ocean liner class They have one
foot less beam than the Pacific steam
ship company's President and Governor
and about 2 feet less length.
The Bear has a steel hull and is a
vessel Of 4,5O7 gross tons. There are
81 staterOons with berths for 273 cabin
passengers. There are accommoda-
tions also for 105 steerage passengers
The dining room will seat 1872 passen-
gers at one time.
The staterooms are large and well
veptilated and throughout the passen-
ger quarters the keynote is simplicity
The entire absence of gingerbread work
is one of the features Of the new ship
The deck space is generous and the OBJ
servation deck IS a feature that will
add to the pleasure of the trip up the
Columbia river
The Bear brought three stowaways.
