These vessels will be dis patched a rapidly as they can be loaded. Wheat is coming In fairly well, all available longshoremen are working and vessels will be dispatched as fast as possible. The Strathendrick Is working at Greenwich and will be finished by Wednesday of next week. Several sailing craft are working to their capaiiity and by the end of the month the export fleet will sum well up toward the .35 mark.

Olson, master of the uteamshlp Alliance, officers and mem bers of the crew, have been exoner- ated by Local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller, from all blame in connection with the damage to tho steamship, which was damaged while crossing the Coos Bay bar, November 28.

Captain Conway, superintendent of the water lines of the O. R. & N. Company, presented a bill for the towing across the bar of the Alliance by the tug Tatoosh. The amount was $175, which Is according to the tariff rate for tow age made by the company. CREW OF THE ACME PAID OFF Suitors Who Made the Voyage Out I'loin San Francisco Get Money. Sailors who made the round trip on the American bark Acme, from San Francisco to Kobe, Japan, and return, were paid oft in the local customs of fice yesterday. The men received from $20 to $60 each. The Acme is laying at the yards of the Portland Lumber Company and 1 will . load timber for Europe. The contract for the repairs to her rigging has been let to An derson & Crowe and she will be rigged while loading. The Acme arrived in port from Hiogo In a crippled condition. When six days out from the Japanese port she went on her beam ends and her ballast shifted. It was found necessary to cut away her top-allant-masts and upper rigging in order to save the ship. She was ttnally righted and reached the Columbia River without being placed on the overdue list. TRIAL TRIP OF THE ROSE CITY. Steamer Will Be Ready December 2 0 at Sail Francisco.

De cember 20. Site will be placed in commis four days later, and will probably leave the Bay City New Years day on her maiden voyage. i- The Rose City was formerly the trans port Lawton, and was purchased by the Harriman people last July.

Returns In Exactly Ten Years. The British steamship Strathendrick will finish loading next Wednesday and will leave down the following morning. She arrived in the river December 8. A strange - coincidence- in eonneetion with the Strathendrick Is that her commander, Ca-ptain Stewart, entered the river ex actly ten years ajro In command of the steamship Kttrickdale. That vessel cleared December IS and put to sea two days lat-f. If the schedule laid out for the Strathendrick -is carried out she will clear on the same date. Tug Arngo Undergoing Repairs.

SPECIAL ROUND-TRIP RATE Round Trip for $26.70, With Tick ets Good 30 Days, Granted by Southern , Pacific Will Start January . 18. Never lit the history of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's Association has there been such preparation for a convention of that body as Oakland Is planning for the January gathering, and In view of this fact, the Portland Ad Club will run an excursion to San Francisco, starting Saturday night, January 18. This decision was reached after a conference between William McMurray, general passenger agent of the Harriman lines, and Rinaldo M. Hall, president of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's Association. Mr. McMurray's letter to Mr. Hall follows: Referring to our conversation regarding the meeting of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's Association at Oakland, January '20, 21. 22: We will be pleased to make for the oc casion a round-trip rate from Portland to Oakland and San Francisco of $28. TO, which is one and one-third fare of the limited one way rate. These tickets will be good for SO days from date of sale, with stop-over privileges within the limit on the return trip. To require a special car, the Pullman Company rules provide for Standard car not less than 15 berths and drawing-room The railroad company must have not less than 18 tickets. We will be glad to co-operate with you In every way and help yott out in advertising the excursion. The letter from Mr. McMurray was glad news to the advertising men and already the excursion Is being boomed by the local ad men and their friends, many of whom will plan their Cali fornia trip so as to go with' the Oregon boosters. Mr. McMurray eays that the California advertising men are leaving nothing undone to make the convention a splendid affair In the way of pro gramme and entertainment. Several thousand1 dollars have been subscribed by the business men of Oakland for the gathering and the country Is being flooded with catchy folders and picy letters advertising the convention. The excursion party will leave Port land Saturday evening, January 18, ar riving at Oakland Monday morning, January 20. Those who have not seen San Francisco for some time will, by the excursion, have a splendid oppor tunity to visit the new city and also to make a trip to Los Angeles and other points within the limit of the excursion ticket, f Portland is to get the next conven tion of the advertising men, the gath ering being held during the 1908 Rose Festival, and It is quite likely that a delegate ' wijl be sent from the Rose Festival 'Association to make an ad drees before the Oakland convention. DISCUSS INDIAN BASKETS Arts and Crafts Society Holds In formal Meeting. The Portland Arts and Crafts Society held the first of a series of informal meetings last night in the shop where J. Nelson Wisner holds his classes in metal working in the Liberal Arts build ing at the Fair Grounds. The Portland Raffia Club had on exhibition specimens of the work of. its members, and Miss Esther L. Wuest, instructor of art in the city schools, read a paper on the subject of basket making. In her paper site traced the history "of basket making, showing how it was the first of the arts learned by man in the process of civilization, and giving the development of the various .forma of shape and color and decoration, all of which was very interesting and very in structive. Then in an informal talk she used the Indian -woven baskets on. show to illustrate her various points'and ex plained the methods by which the ef fects brought about in the raffia work were obtained. Other members of the club also told of the club and its work, telling- how It was started by Miss Wuest herself, in showing one of the members how to do basket work and how this knowledge was passed' on from one to another until the club has now a substantial membership, and is one of the foremost In the United States in the work done.
