SEATTLE, Dec. 9.-This morning the Nome liner Senator took the run to San Francisco, replacing the steamship President, in which an oil-burning system is now being in- stalled. The Pacific Coast Company has decided to convert both the President and the Governor into oil burners. The decision to install oil burning systems in the two big coastwise liners follows exhaustive tests of fuel consumption made the last few months by the company on the California route. The move is considered of great importance in view of the fact that the Pacific Coast Company operates it's own coal mines and coal bunkers and despite that fact has found that oil is more economical. It is estimated that the work of installing fuel oil burn- ing systems in the two vessels will cost approximately $100,000.
 The Alaska Oil & Refining Co.,, has recently completed a new refin- ing plant at Katalla, and kerosene as well as gasoline, is being refined.

We will be home Christmas" IS part of the cheering message re- ceived yesterday by Mrs. Lane from her husband, Captain Lane, of the power schooner Polar Bear.
 The message was sent from Circle City, Alaska, and follows:
 Hudson, Draper, Lockwood and self just arrived. Others wintering O. K. Will be home Christmas. Express complete outfit clothing to Cordova. Are all well. Answer at Fairbanks"
 The Polar Bear sailed from this city during the early part of May last. She carried party of Eastern game hunters and men connected with various scientific institutions of Eastern cities and Will E. Hud- son, Post-Intelligencer photographer
 The members of the party include Dunbar Lockwood, of Boston; Sam uel Mixter, of Boston; w. Sprague Brooks, of Milton, Mass; Joseph Dixon, of Berkeley, Cal, and Eben s. Draper, of Boston. The Polar Bear was caught in the ice floes off Banksland last fall and was frozen in for the winter near the mouth of the Canning river. From the mouth of the Canning to Circle City, where yesterdays wireless message was filed, is about $50 miles, from Circle to Fairbanks is about 140 miles. The trip from Fairbanks to Chitina can be made on the regular stage line, and the trip into Cordova over the Copper River Railroad.
 On November 25 the Seattle P.-T contained the following, which is of interest to Cordova people, be- cause the men referred to are now in our midst awaiting the sailing south of the Northwestern:

The Juneau Empire has the fol- lowing on an affair that is of in- terest to Cordova people:
 "A very pretty wedding occurred Saturday night at o'clock at the home of MT. and Mrs. Benjamin c. Delzelle. Miss Charlotte Hauke of CordOva was united in marriage to Geo. Osborne of Juneau. The host and hostess of the occasion attended the couple during the ceremony. The bride recently came from Cor dova and has been the guest of Mrs. Delzelle, who is an old friend, since arriving in Juneau. The romance which eliminated in the wedding started in Cordova at the time Mr. Osborne was in business there.
 ''The groom recently became es- tablished in business in Juneau as a member of the firm of Nelson & Os- borne, who conduct one of the nice jewelry stores in this city. Mr. Os- borne is we'll known and esteemed all over Alaska having lived in the North for more than IA years. The Osbornes have taken apartments at the Hotel Cain.
