LOGAN IS IN CHARGE XloyU.s Heprsentatlve Will Make Complete Survey of Vessel No Complaint Is Piled Against Bridge Contractor. Difficulties encountered by a diver in trying t" make a minute inspection of the. bottom of the British tramp Rtver dale, at the North Bank dock- yesterday afternoon, following her release earlier 5n the day from the top of the foun dation of the old Madison-street bridg-e draw pU'E. caused a suspension of oper ations until early this morning, when staging will be rigged and the entire Jower portion of the hull gone over. Fritz re Rock, ins diver employed Ty the underwriters, reported that he found a deep scratch along the port .Hide of the bottom, but as there is not sufficient depth at the dock to permit him to walk upright beneath the ship's Ikeel and there is such a collection of mud that it Is stirred up at every step, lie was not able to make encouraging headway. V. H. Logan, a representative pf JJoyd's in London, who arrived yester day to discuss with officials of the Wil lamette iron & Steel Works their bid tor repairs to the steamer Yucatan, re ceived instructions in the afternoon to AHsump charge of the survey on the Riverdale. Caro May lie Transferred. The China Import & 'Kxport Company, which has the Riverdale under charter, is arranging to transfer her cargo to the British tramp Belle of Scotland, which is due in a few days, providing the Rlverdale is found unseaworthy and has to be docked. The Riverdale piled up on the old bridge pier at 5:4f o'clock Wednesday nfternoon and was floated yesterday (morning shortly before 11 o'clock. "Work was under way in removing the yemainrier of her a f ter-deckload and Captain Hay and Captain Albert Crowe, the latter representing the San Fran cisco underwriters, had gone "ashore to nrrange for tow boats to be alongside at 1 o'clock, with the expectation of trying to flout her. Matt Troy, superin tendent for Brown & McCabe, was di recting the unloading of the heavy tim bers on deck, wli'le Harbormaster Spier Was aboard to ascertain what progress vas being made. Vessel Kaslly Floated. The two noticed that the tramp was swinging slightly and after proving that she was floating, by getting a sight on objects ashore, they mustered oine of t he longshoremen and more of the Chinese crew, and with the sanc tion of the second mate, ordered the men to heave in on the forward anchor chain, while the one astern was slack ened. By that means they shifted the Riverdale from her former position over the pier, so as to gtiard against "her striking, if disturbed by the swells of passing steamers, and then a line "was run astern and made fast to a new bridge pier on the west side of the channel. The fact the craft was float was then reported and soon after 1 o'chu'k Pilot Anderson, with the as sistance of towboats, took her to the Korth Bank docl. The arrival yesterday morning of the big steamer Beaver, after her stay if two days on the sands in the lower harbor, proved an event on the water front. Can tain Kldston says that she suffered no damage through going ashore, but there are two dents on her starboard side, near the stern, which were caused by the tug Wallula strik ing her while maneuvering during the Attempts to haul her into deep water Repairs to He Made In South. It it expected she will be placed on drydock at an Francisco and the dam acred plate will also be replaced or straightened there. Superintendent Campion, of the Port of Portland, and Vaptain Nolan, of the Wallula, will inspect the damage in company with Captain Kldston this morning, so there will be no question regarding the re pairs. Adjustments are being made by the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company with passengers who com plained of having had to pay for berths Aind meals on the steamer T. J. Pot ter. Captain Kids ton yesterday filed a statement with Local Inspectors Kd A'ards and Fuller regarding the ground ing of the Beaver, and the damage resulting from the striking of the AVal- lula. and there will probably be no Investigation. Yesterday passed with no more ser ious misha ps being reported. Regard ing the collision between the oil tank steamer Uosecrans and the dredge Portland, the Government inspectors have decided to conduct an investiga Hon as soon as Pilot Patterson flies his report. Major Mclndoe. Corps of Kngineers, IT . S. A , yesterday said that the fact Contractor Wakefield was engaged in constructing the Madison-street ridge under authority from the War Depart ment, did not mean that the engineers were to maintain a personal supervision of the operations. The Government en gineers have nothing to do with the work until t is reported to them as ompleted. when they will file a state nient to that effect, after inspection shows all requirements have been ful filled. No Complaint Is Kiled. In the authority received from the War Department to proceed with the work, it is expressly stated in the pro visions governing the sanction that the old draw pier was to be razed to a depth of 30 feet below aero, which, it is Insisted, has not been followed, or the Riverdale would not have struck. Major Mclndoe stud that it was within his province to investigate a disregard of the Department's instructions, but only after formal complaint had been made by an interested person, who must furnish names of witnesses and other data, so that the case could be turned over complete to the Vjited States Pdstrtet Attorney for action. As yet no complaint has been filed. IItElGINO OF RIVER URGED Owner of East Side Water Frontage Asks Immediate Action. That the Port of Portland should dredge out, or cause to be dredged, the Wil lamette River between the. Morrison and Madison bridges east of the present chan nel to within 100 feet of the docks, was the opinion emphatically expressed yes terday by Joseph Supple, shipbuilder and avuut of a waterfront block on Eat Water and Belmont streets. Mr. Supple said: "I hstve dredged the river in front of my dock 200 feet wide, although 100 feet only is required. I cannot, for the life of me. understand why the Port of Port land does not clean out the river between these two bridges, the Morrison and Madi son, and remove the constant menace to vessels passing up and down through the bridge draws. . The Pacific Bridge Company has been dredging out material here and there between the two bridges for filling up the East Side low blocks, but only has taken material where it is easy to get at. I think there is no doubt that the company could be em ployed, at a few cents per yard, to clean out the river east of the present chan nel to within 100 or 200 feet of the docks on the East Side, and the dock owners could do the rest of the work. 'As it is now this shallow water on the east side of the channel is a constant menace to vessels passing through the draws. If the draws are not opened as quickly as might be desired and a ship is delayed she is in constant aanger ot getting out of the channel into the shallow water.. If a vessel strikes bot tom the accident is noted ana the port fTEAMEB IJSTEiXJGKNCxV Iue to Arrive. From Date Eureka, In port Honprkcn--. . In PW1 Ban Pedro... In port Tillamook...

The owners are required to dredge 100 feet in front, and beyond it is the duty of the Port of Portland to clean the river." LOXGSHOKKMEX'S STRIKE OrT k Saint Nicholas Relayed While Dis pute Over Trucking Is Settled. Formal notice given local stevedores by the general Longshoremen's Union that hereafter they will expect to do all trucking on docks where general cargo steamers are discharging, pro viding the cargo is moved from the edge of the dock after it is landed from the slings, caused a brief strike on the waterfront yesterday. The strike caused a delay of several hours on the British tramp Saint Nicholas, consigned to Balfour, Guthrie, which Is being unloaded by the steve doring firm cf the McCabe Company. The longshoremen refused to work unless they were given the trucking of structural steel, while the steve dores held tiat it was labor properly belonging to the dockmen. The con troversy was finally settled by the stevedores paying the union scale of 55 cents an hour to the longshoremen on the dock, instead of hiring dock men at from $2.50 to $3 a day. It is asserted by the longshoremen that they have always handled that work for Brown & McCabe, and that their agree ment, entered Into with that firm and the McCabe Company specifically sets forth that they are to1 perform all gen eral cargo trucking, which includes steel, coke and heavy stuff, in addition to merchandise. excepting cement, which belongs to the gralnhandlers local. The agreement between the steve dores and longshoremen, entered into two years ago, with the Chamber of Commerce as sponser, expires Septem ber 10. and the Question of trucking, together with that of paying winrhmen and hatchtenders on the Lower Colum bia an advance is expected to be dis cussed at length before new contracts are made. It I VE II CHANNEL IS INSPECTED Skippers Say Upper Willamette Can Ie Opened Inexpensively. A trip of 171 miles in a skiff, from Eugene to Butteville, to ascertain the condition of the Willamette at its low stage, because the depth is now slight ly less than zero, was finished yester day by Captain A. B. Graham, of the Oregon City Transportation Company, and Captain Raabe, of the steamer Oregona. Captain Graham said that, in his opinion, the channel from Corvallis to Harrisburg can be cleared with less cost than would attend the improve ment of the road from Mission Land ing to Wheatland, because there is only a small amount of dredging to be done. Most of the trouble is due to snags, .he says. Soundings were made wherever necessary, and the data will be given to the United States engineers, with whom Captain Graham expects to discuss the prospects of reopening the river to Salem. I.OCAI. FIRMS BID ON, DREDGE Digger for Honolulu May Be Built In Portland. Bids have been asked of Joseph Sup ple and the Portland Shipbuilding Com pany on a dredge wanted by San Fran cisco interests for use at Honolulu, and as soon as the tenders have been compared with others obtained on Grays Harbor, the contract will be let. The dredge is to have a length of 140 feet, beam of 40 feet and depth of 12 feet. The hull and house 'are to be constructed on the Coast and will be towed to Honolulu, where the machin ery is to be installed. It is estimated that the craft. not including the mechanism. will cost approximately $20,000. Captain Svendson Leaves Ttygja. Captain K. H. Svendson has resigned command of the Oriental liner Rygja, and will be succeeded by Capfain Myers, who Is to reach here August 9 from Bergren. Norway. Captain Svend son will establish his home in Portland, as Mrs. Svendson has accompanied him on voyagres between here and the Far Kast since the vessel was chartered by the Portland & Astatic Steamship Company. The Kyjcja yesterday shifted from the Eastern & Western mill to St. Johns, to take on lumber, and will sail about August 10, Potter's Pilot Files Statement. G. W. Myers, pilot of the steamer T, J. Potter, yesterday filed with the lo cal steamboat inspectors a statement covering: the collision Thursday morn ing near Henrict's, in which he says that when the steamer Ocklahama sounded two whistles on approaching, he gave fie danger signal and one whistle, the latter being answered, but that he feared to cross her bow when he saw she was towing the barge Klickitat. It is said the confusion re- suited from the fact the steamer El more was following- the Ocklahama. The inspectors will hold an investiga tion Tuesday. Marine Notes. At the Custom-House yesterday the steamers Beaver and Shna Yak entered and cleared, San Francisco being the destination. Having finished discharging pig iron, which she brought from the Orient via San Francisco, the British tramp Hazel Dollar is ready to proceed to the Port land mill for a lumber cargo that goes to China. To replace buoys and deliver supplies, the lighthouse tender Manzanita has started down the Coast and will pro ceed to Cape Blanco. The tenders Heather and Armeria were both report ed yesterday at Ketchikan. Alaska. Extensive changes are contemplated on the Oregon drydock and the stock holders expect to increase the capitali zation from 100,000 to $150,000. It has been arranged to care for all passengers bound to North Beach points this afternoon and those who cannot be accommodated on the O. R. & N. steamer Harvest Queen will be routed over the line of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad. Heatley & Co. have chartered the Norwegian tramp Titania to load lum ber on the coast for Australia and the cargo will be supplied by J. J. Moore & Co.

CHICAGO MARKET WEAKER Arrivals at Primary Points Are Heavy and .World's Shipments Are Estimated at a Large Fig ure Coarse Grains Sag. CHICAGO. July 29. One of the most por tent factors in shaping values here for wheat was the seeming diminution of buy ing power both for the cash grain and for futures. There was evidently no anxiety to purchase on the part of the milling, spec ulative or other buyers. Arrivals at pri mary markets today were heavy. World's shipments, too. were estimated at a liberal. total. Considerable feeling developed in re gard to a report that the officials of the exchange would hold a special meeting and declare that J.50TO00 bushels of wheat in cars on railroad tracks here would be as regular for delivery on July contract as though housed in public elevators. The dif ficulty at botrom, it was said, was simply a ngni oetween two big elevator interests. One concern had sold huge lines of wheat and had not succeeded in getting as much grain in public elevators as the filling of July contracts demanded. The effect on the market was to make trading largely a scalping affair. Sept amber ranged between $1.02 to $1.04 with the close weak at $1.02 to $1.02c, a net loss of c to lc. Corn sagged because of the breaking of the heat wave. September fluctuated be tween i2 H U 63 X c. with the close 1 to lc down at the last-mentioned price and the tone weak. The cash market was also weak. No. 2 yellow closed at HSftiiSc. Miscellaneous liquidation gave oats a downward cast. .September varied from 36 He to a7Vi37Hc and closed He off at 36 c. Provisions were sold heavily by commis sion houses. In consequence, the close was 1"-U c to 32c down for pork, at 24 5c to 17 He for lard and at 82 He for ribs. WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

G- Dunn & Co.s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say : There Is no lack of evidence that the business situation is much better than the recent depression in Wall street would In dicate. A notable improvement In business confidence took place in the latter part of the week, due to recovery In security prices, to; advices that much-needed rains were falling in crop sections, and to the excel lent quarterly report of the leading steel producers. Production Is going on at a fair rate and reports of cancellations are not borne out by facts. BuBiness is rather brisk in steel bars. Shading continues In sbf'et products of from $2 to $4 per ton, while tinplae Is firm and there is no sisn of abatement activity in ihis direction. Buyers are more numerous in the pri mary dry goods, markets and trading Is slightly more active for staple prints, bleached goods and duck, while miscella neous export fabrics are in better call with values held steadier. Silks, in fancy weave and in the gray, for converting purposes, sell steadily. Shoe buyers still operate conservatively, following the recent buying in Boston, and hold off from placing further orders of ac count until crop ""results are determined. Footwear values are again - y per cent lower all around. BradntrfH' Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. July 20.

There are better reports as to the demand for finished iron and steel, copper, some makes of cotton goods, based apparently on the advance in raw materials, and for raw wool. Pig iron remains very quiet and prices are still easy. "Curtailment of output does not appear to have gone far enough to buoy quotations.
