VANCOUVER SERVICE.

A NEW STEAMER

BY CABLE-PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, Oct. 9.

Mr Archibald Hurd, writing in the Daily Telegraph, says the Union Steam Ship Company's order for a new steamer for the Vancouver service represents the most daring advance ever undertaken since motor shirs were discussed. Such a huge internal combustion ship would a decade ago have been regarded as madness. The order speaks well for the Union Company's motor engine maker's enterprise, which has put the motor ship's advantages to a supreme test.
