THE STEAMSHIP NORTHWEST.

One of the Ideal Water Palacca Planned by James J. Hill. | steamship Northwest Is one of the ideal water palaces planned by J. J. Kill, president of the Great Northern Railway, for the freight and passenger traffic "<s!£ his line between Duluth and Buffalo. She is tho

largest combination boat afloat on the great lakes, steel ribbed and braced, hlgh-prowod, and with the weather capacity of an ocean steamer. She is compa rt m e n t built for both water and air, and her architectural lines are drawn on

the basis of what is called Clyde designs. She is one of tho fleet of the Northern Steamship Company, and was built with an eye to the future

possibility of her traveling between Duluth and England, should American waterways ever exist with sufficient carrying capacity to bring the commerce of the seas inland. Like all the boats of the Northern Line, she is white in color, with high water line, double decks, double cabins, and her motive power under water. Triple compound engines of the latest pattern operate hgr, while her equipment for times of danger is double that of any boat on the lake. She was especially constructed for heavy weather and large carrying capacity, with a maximum of safety.
