THE MORNING OREGOXIAX," TTIIIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1911. lb RATE IS CUT 50 PER CENT Port of Portland Makes Re duction With View of Adding Business. MINIMUM NOW ONLY S25 President of Orrer.n Prjdock Com pany Rejrard Action as "Oat of Harmony," bat Future Conre Is rndfllccl. Determined to mnkr the Port of Port:a,nJ public drydock attractive to htpowners ar.d to give owner of ves sels an opportunity to lift them at un heard of rates, the Port of Portland Coramtisl-Ml. yesterday nave one of the hla-grst surprises of the present ad ministration by cutting the tariff 50 per cent. The new rates will be ef fective ondfiy and apply on all ves sels and Include a red-ictlon of one half of the. minimum charge. The dis count allowed under the ra'es effect Ire November 1. 1510. of IS. 10 and 25 per cent, according- to the amount of business given the dock In a year, are wiped out by the cut of yesterday. "We have not been swamped with patronage at the drydock and the cut was made w'th a v'ew to getting busi ness and rather than have the plant Idle so much we feel that It Is best to reduce life rates." said Commissioner Wheelwright chairman of the drydock committee. The reduction means a 0 per cent cut under the tariff of the Oregon drydock. a private concern, which has secured the bulk of the busi ness, particularly anions; vessels of the smaller types. Low Schedule Adopted. The tariff will be 1 cents a ton on steamers up to 999 tons. 9 rents up to 1999 tons. 8 rents up to 3999 and 7 cents up to 4000 tons and over. On sailing vessels It will be 9 cents on carriers up to 599 tons. 8 cents up to 999 tons and 7 cents for those of lono tons and over. The docking charge on scows will be SIS and S for each lay day. It was agreed by the Commission that no lower charge would be au thorised for tne use of electricity, tools and dock gear and where the minimum charge for a vessel has been $.Q It will be IIS after Monday. until early in the Fall the rates were 14. 51. 18 and 13 cents on steamers, ac cording to the same basis of tonnage, and on sailing vessels 19. 17 and 15 cents, but the cut effective November 1 was to 10. IS, IS and 14 cents on steamers and 18. 16 and 14 cents on sailing vessels. W. II. Corbett. president of the Ore gon Drydock Company, said that the action of the Orai sslon was Incom prehensible to him and that the reduc tion of 50 per cent made Portland the home of the lowest drydocking rates In the country. He said he was sorry to hear of such action, as It was out of harmony, but what steps bo and his colleagues would take be could not say until he had discussed the situation. Mcintosh Gains Benefit. The low rates worked to the benefit of Robert Mcintosh, who hid I13S0 for repairs on the tug John McCraken be fore the reduction was announced, but anticipating sucTi a move he agreed to ower the figure I, a If the rates were dropped 13 per cent and he accepted a drop of 1150 on the B0 per cent decline, lie will pay the Port of Portland also for the use of the dock n handling the McCraken. The bid of the Ft. Johns Shipbuilding Company. $137 was first decided to be the lowest, but that cor poration planned to raise the tug on ways. Joseph Supple bid liSOO and asked a month in which to complete he task, saving that It was Impossible do proper work on the lines set forth for less. Theodore Knudson bid 127J. but It wns said the proposals were ambiguous. Bids for rubber sleeves for the. dredge pipe lines and for lining for pumps on both diggers were opened and referred Captain Groves, superintendent of dredges. The subject of entering Into con. racts for supplying the dredges with uel during the coming season was left Captain Pease, acting as chairman the absence of C. F. Swigert. p.lds will also be nsked for brush and other atrrlal to be used In constructing a bulkhead at the drydock. where the basin Is to be Improved.

Three barges of sand, owned by the Columbia Digger Company, dragged nchors from a point below the Haw thorne bridge and drifted through the Morrison brlifge without dimage and were picked up by the steamer Her- ttles. One was anchored off Stark tieet. where the anchor fouled a cable f tho Pacific States Telephone & Tele graph Company, so that It was impos sible to move the barge without dam- ge to the cable.

Klamath Falls Regarded as Jfore Likely. In the recent movements of the di rectors of the Nevada-Callfornla-Ore-gon Railway, operating- from Reno, Nev., northward to Alturas. CaL. Is seen a plan on the nart of the mil system to secure a physical connec tion between the lines In Orecon and San Francisco. The possibilities of such action are many and the reasons for it are numer ous, although Portland as well as East ern officials of the Hill companies deny the Intention to form such an amalga mation with the southern line. The announcement recently went out from the office of the Xevada-Callfor-nla-Oregon that an extension U to be built from Alturas to Pendleton, but doubt was expressed as to the. course to be taken in rounding Goose Lake, on the boundary between California and Oregon. At the time the road was built the Intention. to invade Southern Oregon was expressed by the officials, but the ultimate direction of the ex tension seems never to have been de termined. That the new line should be built to Pendleton Is a statement which Port land railroad men give little credence. They are inclined, rather, to believe that Klamath Falls or a point on the Oregon Trunk line In the Deschutes Valley will be the ultimate destina tion. With Klamath Falls as the terminus, connection would be given with the new main line of the Southern Pacific that now is being built. If the back ers of this road seek to effect a rail connection with the Hill lines the con struction of a road into Klamath Falls will not preclude this possibility, as the extension of the Oregon Trunk to that city Is not without the scope of near future railroad development. The construction of a road to any point south of Bend, or even as far north as Bend, would accomplish the same junction with the Hill line. The object In building from Alturas to Pendleton Is not apparent. But If such a move Is contemplated It seems likely that the road would be built on the east side of Goose Lake. The fact that doubt was expressed as to the course to be adopted In rounding Goose Lake gives reason to believe that Pen dleton Is not the objective point after all. With the northern end of the line fully connected with the Hill system In the Northwest the operation of trains into San Francisco would be a com paratively easy matter If the relation ship between Hill and the Western Pa cific is as pleasant as appears from the surface. XATROX BRAXCII DOXE IX YEAR Trains to Run Into Klamath Falls Xext January, Says Visitor. With 100 miles of railway yet to con struct. It will be one year before the Southern Pacific Company will be run ning trains over the Natron branch into Klamath Falls. That Is the opln- on of Judge Baldwin, of Klamath, who arrived here yesterday. "Tracks are laid and construction trains are running 26 miles north of Klamath Falls," said Judge Baldwin. I was talking with Contractor Erlck- son Just before leaving and lie said that the grade was completed this week considerably above Sprague River. The track is laid to William son River. All told about 40 miles are graded and 30 miles of track laid north from Klamath Falls. from Natron, south, I understand, 45 miles have been completed. The intervening space is in the neighborhood of 100 miles. Much ' of this is of easy construction, partlc- I ularly In. what is known as the Klam ath Marsh. Here It will be constructed quickly and, as Constructor Kelley told me, with the exceptlbn of pushing a tree aside here and there, there are no serious barriers. We all figure that next January we will be able to come direct to Portland by this new route. I have been told that several new contracts have been let between a point above Sprague River and the southern terminus be low Natron. 'Our postal bank is something of a failure. It was a mistake In my opin ion to place It mere. We are all bor rowers, we haven thinly settled coun try. The man who has money to lend certainly would prefer to let the banks have it at 4 per cent rather than the Government at 2 per cent. The bank should have been located In a more settled country where the conditions are different. Down our way we are all developers and are engaged In try- ng to build up a country. We have not reached the stage where we can afford to have Idle money." BRANCH LIBRARY BURNED Building Is Beyond Repair and 4000 Books Are Ruined. Fire starting from an over-heated stove destroyed the branch library of the Portland Library Association, at East Eleventh and East Alder streets. early yesterday morning, damaging the building beyond repair and ruining the 4000 or more volumes Inside. Ef forts of neighbors, equipped with gar den hose, supplemented the work of the fire department, but the fire had i i-itlm i -.is'i ,1 .i .. . i.

One janitor has charge of this build ing and the branch library in Albina. He had started a fire In the East Port land building and had gone to the other to do likewise. While he was gone the heat became so intense that the woodwork Ignited. Mrs. S. D. Graves, living near the library, saw the smoke and after turning In an alarm called the neighborhood. The damage Is estimated at between $6000 and $8000. The records were destroyed and It is not known who the persons are who have books borrowed from the library. v Borrowers are requested to return their books to the main library at Sev enth and Stark streets. Immediate steps will be taken by the trustees to provide a temporary home for the branch, and a new building: will be erected as soon as possible.
