19 THE MORNING OREGDNIAN, FRIDAY, DECE3IBER 7, 1906. PL CROSSES WITHOUT 11 PILOT Captain Shirley Signals in Vain and Brings Steamship in Himself. GLENERICHT OFF THE BAR British Ship From San Diego Also Has Pirrtculty in Getting Pilot ami May Experience Trials of Iverna. Captain Shirley, of the British steam ship Apollo, from Guaymas, to load a argo of lumber here for the Orient, reports that he found no pilot off the mouth of the Columbia River on his arrival Wednesday and took his vessel In without assistance. He Is said to have signaled for a pilot for over an hour and meeting with no response de cided to take the Apollo in -without any further delay. While outside the Apollo spoke the British ship Glenericht which was beat ing oft the mouth of the harbor and signaling for a pilot also. Captain Evans, master of the Glenericht, sig naled Captain Shirley to send him a pilot as soon as possible as he did not wish to remain outside during the storm which was then threatening and which broke in all its fury last evening. As far as kncn the British ship was still off the bar last night. The Incident where the British bark Formosa was brought In within a short time after she signaled for a pilot, seems to be offset by the tactics displayed towards the Apollo aitd Glen ericht. Unless the ship was brought in yesterday she may experience the same difficulties that fell to the lot of the bark Iverna, now on her way up the river. The Iverna, it will be remem bered, is the vessel that caused consid erable anxiety by putting in her ap pearance oft the Columbia and then disappearing for over a month because a storm arose during the interval she awaited a pilot and she was forced to put out to sea. The Glenericht is a sister ship of the Bankburn now loading here, and is coming from San Diego in ballast to load grain for the United Kingdom. She has visited this port before and her commander. Captain Evans, is well known here. It was announced yesterday that Bal four, Guthrie & 'Co. have chartered the Norwegian steamship Christian Michelsen to transport a mixed cargo of lumber and wheat to China. These two charters are only a small portion of the number of big tramp steam ships scheduled to load here, or already in port receiving cargo. The tonnage in port includes the British steamships Pranklyn and Man chester Port in addition to the Apollo which arrived yesterday. Captain Shirley, of the Apollo, states that he had a fair passage from Guay mas, Mexico, to this port, and that nothing unusual occurred to mar the voyage. The British steamship Strat horn, under charter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to load a similar cargo at this port. Is supposedly on her way to this city from the Mexican port. The Christian Michelsen and the Thyra, which loaded here several months ago and which is under charter to load here again, are at San Fran cisco and may be expected to leave the Bay City almost any time and should reach here for the holidays. The mixed cargo of lumber and wheat scheduled to be loaded on the Michel sen, will make the second such cargo of the season, for the Manchester Port now loading here is to handle lumber as well as wheat. Two large tramps are loading grain exclusively. They are the British steamships Franklyn and Bessie Dollar, the former being a recent arrival while the latter has about half her cargo al ready aboard. . Both vessels are loading'at the grain docks on the East Side of the river and attract considerable attention from passing boats. The public of'this city .has taken to examining the big tramp Franklyn, which is the largest steamer that has visited this port this season and as the Dollar is working almost alongside the larger boat, she also comes in for some notice. The British steamships Strathmore and Wandsworth are two more large vessels expected here in the near future. The former Is coming for a cargo of wheat and the latter for lum ber. The British steamship Wyneric, which left here with a.cargo of lumber about November 1, arrived out at Shanghai yesterday. ELDER COMPLETES VOYAGE Well-Known Steamship Ends First Trip in Nearly Two Years. The steamship George W. Elder completed her first round trip in nearly two years when she tied up at Martin's dock in North Portland yesterday morning. On the trip south she called at Eureka and also on the return. While at San Francisco she had a few repairs made which delayed her con siderably. Captain Jessen reports a fair trip up the coast and states that the Elder is capable of reeling oft as many knots as she ever did, and he is of the opinion that she can do even better if pressed. The. steamer is schedule to sail for Eureka,, San Francisco and San Pedro tonight. " INSPECTORS MAKE INQUIRY Investigate Charges of Master of Kitsap at Seattle. SEATTLE, Dec. 6. United States Ma rine Inspectors Whitney and Turner are today hearing the charges made against Captain Moe of the steamboat Monte cello by Captain Hostmark of the Kit sap, the result of a recent collision be tween the two vessels near Seattle. Cap tain Hostmark ch asses that the Monte cello ran him down. The boats are In competition on the ocean between Seattle and Paulsbo. WILL FIX BLAME FOR WRECK Investigation Into Canses Leading Up to Stranding of Galena. Captain James Laidlaw, the British Consul, and Captain Burchell, of the British bark Oweenee, and Captain Tyn dall, of the British ship Iverness-shire, are in Astoria for the purpose of con ducting an Investigation into the Galena disaster. The British bark Galena went on the sands of Clatsop beach, on No vember 13, and now lies high and dry. The investigators are to inquire thor oughly into conditions prior to the strik ing of the vessel, with a view to fixing the blame for the, wreck. The Galena belongs to T. Shute, of Liverpool, who is supposed to be on his way to Astoria for the purpose of making arrangements for pulling her off the beach. Shute Is one of the few shipowners who does not Insure his ves sels. He says that the percentage of loss is not large enough to warrant the outlay. The Galena will likely . be saved, for her position on the sandy beach is not as dangerous as that of the Peter Iredale, which lies on the beach three miles North of the Galena. SEVEREST GALE OF SEASON Wind Blows 74 Miles an Hour at North Head Station. ASTORIA, Or.. Dec. 6. (Special.) By far the most severe gale of the present season reached here this after noon and at a late hour tonight con tinued. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the wind at North Head was blowing from the southwest at a 74-mile rate. During the afternoon the barometer dropped from 30:25 to 29:50 and it is still going down. So far as reported, no damage of note' has been done. Some of the vessels in the lower harbor dragged their anchors and the barken tlne Wrestler drifted to the sands in the middle of the river, but she is in a safe position. The bark Formosa which arrived last evening reports sighting a ship and a four-masted bark on Tuesday evening about 30 miles off the mouth of the river. The Formosa stood inshore and picked' up a pilot yesterday, but the other two vessels stood off-shore. The ship is thought to be either the Waver tree or the Halewood, and the bark is thought to be the Muskoka from Ham burg. SAILORS DESERT EURASIA. British Ship Unable to Sail From' San Diego. SAN DIEGO, Cal Dec. 6. Captain Hughes, of the British ship Eurasia, has gone North in an effort to secure sailors to take his ship out of port. Almost as soon as the ship had docked the men be fore the mast began deserting, leaving only- the cook and captain and the first mate to take care of the vessel. Captain Hughes Is having the same experience as other deep-sea captains who bring their vessels to this Coast. The sailors desert as soon as the anchor is dropped, leaving their back pay on board. SEAMEN SUFFER HARDSHIP BRITISH SniP MARION JOSEPH ENCOUNTERS COLD WEATHER. Sailors Are Badly Handicapped by Freezing Winds Rigging Be comes Coated AVith Ice. SEATTLE, Dec. 6. A harrowing tale of suffering on the part of the sailors of the British ship Marion Joseph. Captain W. L. Grant, while that vessel was round ing Cape Horn, reached this city this afternoon, when the Marlon Joseph ar rived in port. Captain Grant says that half of his men were frost-bitten and unable to work, while two were confined to their berths during the entire trip up the West Coast. The vessel was bound from Newcastle to Seattle. Arriving off Cape Horn, bit ter cold weather was encountered. To add to the cold, immense icebergs, somo of which were five miles in length and which towered above the vessel, sur rounded the craft. All the ropes and shrouds of the vessel were covered with ice from eight to ten inches in diameter. Blocks were frozen so that it was im possible to work the ship, and her sails vre as stiff as if molded of iron. Astoria Custom-House Is Upheld. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 6. (Special.) When the French bark Empereur Menelick ar rived here recently from Antwerp, Captain Moret, her master, presented at - the costom-house a certificate of remeasure ment Issued by the New York Custom house in 1904. and giving the vessel's net tonnage at 1660 tons. Collector Carnahan held that the deductions made were ex cessive and cut down the deduction on the captain's cabin 98 tons and on the cap stan space 50 tons, thus increasing the net tonnage on which tonnage dues were collected 148 tons. Captain Moret protested against the in creased dues and appealed to the de partment in Washington. Today a letter was received from the department sus taining the contention of the local office. In rendering its decision, the department says the rules regarding deductions in measurements of vessels which were In force at the time the certificate was Issued by the New York office, do not now ob tain.

WOULD TRADE HERE Nome Anxious Line, Says S. for Steamship T. Jeffreys. TIRED OF SEATTLE SPIRIT Resources of Country Set Forth bj Nome Lawyer Member Says the Chamber of Commerce Should Support Project. Strong encouragement to a 6teamer line between Portland and Alaska is given by S. T. Jeffreys, a lawyer of Nome. He says such an enterprise is one of the leading needs of Alaska and will meet with the strong support of her cit izens. He points out tnat Alaskans have 7 5- not always fared well In their relations with Seattle, and says they would gladly welcome a competitive market. "Being an Alaskan and formerly an Oregonian, I have read with interest the movement on the part of the Board of Trade and business men of Portland to put on a line of steamers to ply between Portland and Alaskan ports," said Mr. Jeffreys. "This interest is somewhat in tensified from the fact that for the past three years I have heard many people at Nome express surprise why Portland capital did not reach out for Alaska trade. "Probably the greatest new field for capital and enterprise in the world today is Alaska. Alaska is larger than the combined areas" of California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Washington, with a coast line greater than the circum ference of the earth. Now, when it is remembered that the only means of reaching this vast country, teeming with wealth and a rapidly growing population, is by water, the wonder still increases why Portland capital has not before this put on a line of steamers to ply between Portland and Alaska. "I have practiced law at Nome con tinuously since 1900, and I think I know the people and their needs, and the great est, need today is a line of steamers, and base of supplies operating from some port other than Seattle. The merchants and business men of Alaska (I speak more particularly of Northwestern Alas ka) have had many just grievances against the alleged 'Seattle spirit, which, interpreted, means 'do the other fellow,' and the existing transportation compa nies. "I sincerely believe that the mining and business interests of Alaska and es pecially Northwest Alaska will give their enthusiastic support and encouragement to an Independent line of steamers with base of operations at Portland." SAVS CHAMBER SHOULD ACT Member Declares Alaska Steamship Project Worthy of Support. PORTLAND, Dec. 6 (To the Editor.) It is to be much regretted that the prosperous steamship line to Alaska has not been endorsed by the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce. I doubt much whethgr their decision in the matter meets with the approval of a majority of its members, and I should like to see a general meeting called, so that the mat ter in question could be fully discussed by the members at large. From time to time this all-important question, that of a line of steamships to the Far North, has been before the public, but so far nothing has been accomplished, and when it seemed almost certain for the propo sition to materialize, cold water has been thrown on it. The people here can scarcely realize the vast amount of trade that they let slip by not having direct communication to Alaska. In the season, scarcely a day passes but what a steamer Is sent out of Seattle, loaded with freight and passen gers, for the North; and that very thing is what is building up that city. Having interest there myself, I know of what I here write. I hope that the Board of Trade will yet succeed in procuring the required subscription to start this line of steamers as originally proposed. May I not suggest that at its forth coming annual meeting the by-laws be so altered that an open meeting of the Chamber of Commerce be held monthly i for the transaction of such business that may come before it. This was in vogue In former years, and much good resulted from it. All important ' matters that are coming up from time to time could be fully discussed, and proper action taken, the meetings should be held in the eve ning, when many could attend that are unable to leave their places of business during the day. Of the very large mem bership, it would be an easy matter to procure a good attendance. A MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ' BUtiGET IS $2,000,000. Heads of City Departments Make Extravagant Estimates of Expenses According to the estimates filed by the heads of the various departments of the city government, it will take nearly 3,000,I0 to run the City of Portland during the year 1907. Of this amount, $500,000 Is asked by the water depart ment for the maintenance of the system and the extending of the distribution system. Of the J2.000.000, according to the estimates now on file with the City Auditor, J491.368 would come from the general fund, and the remaining $977,468 would be raised by taxation. Taxpayers, however, need not worry, for these estimates will undergo consid erable pruning when they reach the hands of the ways and means com mittee of the Council. Many of the ap propriations which the heads of the de partments have asked for will not be allowed. The estimated expenditures from the general fund exceed the estj mated income of this ' fund by approxi mately noo.ooo. If the estimates of the various de partments were approved as they stood, a tax levy oS 6 mills would be required.. The ways and means committee will not countenance a levy so high.

They Brought Relief and Cure When Ordinary Medicines Seemed Only to Make Her Worse. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a remedy which has beeu before the American peo ple for a generation, is still accomplish ing wonderful results as is evidenced by the following interview with Mrs. Ra chael Gardner, of Wilsey, Eans. ' "It was very strange," he says, "I never could tell what caused it and neither could anybody else. For a long time I had bad spells with my stomach. The pain would commence about my Jieart and was so deadly agonizing that I would have to scream aloud. Sometimes it would last several hours and I would have to take laudanum to stop it. Be sides this I had a headache almost con stantly, day and night, that nearly crazed me, so you see I suffered a great deal. And when I think of the ngouy I en dured it still makes me shudder. ' 'Doctors,' did you say? Their medi cine made me sicker. I couldn't take it and I kept growing worse until a friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I did. I began to feel better and was soon wholly converted tor this wonderful medicine. It did me more good than rhad ever hoped for. I tc on with the pills and now I recommenl them to all who suffer."
