At the works of the Craig Ship Building Co., Toledo, the passenger steamer IROQUOIS, which is being built for the Arnold Transportation Co. of Mackinaw Island, Mich., and a smaller passenger vessel, the Lake Side, for the Sandusky & Island Transportation Co. of Sandusky, are so near completion that they will be delivered to their owners shortly. The IROQUOIS is expected to be even faster than the CHIPPEWA, built some time ago for the Arnold company,
