THE jrORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1911. 20 BOARD CANCELS 50,000 OF BONOS Commissioner O'Reilly Sees No Reason for Marketing More Paper Than JMeeded. DREDGE BID IS $236,000 Chamber of Commerce Aks That Reports or High Pilotage Charges Be Investigated Time of Completing Bridge Extended. Taxpayers of the Port of Portland district are not to b saddled with a financial burden In excess of the re quirements of the river service and channel construction by the new per sonnel of the commission, according to Indications yesterday, when a block of SSO.000 of pilotage and towage equip ment bonds was cancelled. Commissioner O'Reilly, treasurer of the board, reported that the general fund contained 1187.000 and that but 125.000 was required monthly for the last quarter. With approximately 1500.004 to be derived after April from the collection of taxes, the treasurer said he saw no reason why the bonds should be marketed. I'nder the law the bonds are lost If not sold as specified. The board yesterday opened bids for the construction of a 30-Inch steel hull suction dredge, to be a duplicate of the Columbia, and only local firms filed proposals, the Willamette Iron Steel Works being lowest, with a bid of I ::. 000. The Portland Iron Works' bid was KS4.S79. that of Smith Broth ers Watson Iron Works 1276.000 and the John Woods Iron Works $277,000. Award la Delay.. The latter specified no time for com pleting the undertaking and Smith Brothers ft Watson asked 10 months, while the others agreed to complete the digger In eight months. As there were counter propositions made by the bidders If other boilers' were substi tuted. President Mears appointed Com missioners K. D. Inman and J. W. Shaver with General Manager Talbot as a committee to canvass the bids When they are ready to report a spe cial session will be called and the award made. A communication from the Chamber of Commerce set forth that a com plaint had been made of exorbitant charge for handling tramp steamers In the barber and of rates asked for river pilotage and It was suggested that the Port of Portland take over tho river pilotage and either decrease the tariffs or make It free. In that connection President Mears cited that on the last voyage of the Bank Line steamer Kumertc she paid $181.69 for bar pilotage and 1193 for river pilot age and he thought the river work should be less. 'ommissloner Pease, who belongs to the I'olumbla River Pilots' Association. po:nted out that except for greater hazard, the bar pilots were on a ves sel but two hours, while a river pilot R1I5M be from eight to 14 or 1 hours making the trip one way la-the river. No action was taken. Bridge tVerk Delayed. Commissioner O'Reilly said that he had been approached by Robert Wake nld. who has a contract for erecting :4! on the new Harrlman bridge and aekeri regarding the possibility of se curing two pontoons of the public rirrdork for a period of SO days, with which to float the lift span Into posi tion. The commission thought that whll the remuneration would be ac ceptable It was poor policy to leave th dry dock without full lifting facil ities to care for emergencies. ' iS.-n.ral manager J. P. O'Brien, of the o.-w L A N.. wrote the commission f.r an extnlon of four months on the time in which the new bridge was to liave been completed, and It was granted. Mr. O'Brien said that there had been delays met In getting pos session of property for the approaches, that the American Bridge Company was delinquent In Its delivery of steel for the superstructure and there were other obstacle that retarded the work, lie experts to have -It In readiness by Msrch 31. 1I2. On motion of Commissioner Inman ne charge was made for drydocktng the tire boat tieorge IL Williams last month. To General Manager Talbot was re ferred the matter of Investigating the advisability of equipping the tugs Wal Itila and Oneonta with wireless, as the I'ntted Wireless Interests had proposed t establish one-kilowatt sets for IKS e.:-h and furnlhh operators for 1100 a month each. Counsel for C. A. Lowry alleges the latter to have sustained permanent In juries to an -arm while employed on the public drydock and wrote as to the prospects of effecting a compromise without recourse to legal steps, but re ports of Foreman Johnson, of the dock. Indicated that Lowrr bad not reported hting Injured at the time and later sought employment. Responsibility will be denied. PORTLAND'S SHIPS INCREASE tiovernment Statistician Compares Growth on Pacific Coast. Collector of Customs Malcolm has re relied from the bureau of statistics of the Department of Agriculture a bulle tin complied by Frank Andrews on . marketing grain and livestock In the i'at-tflo Coast region. It Is replete with information on the cost of wheat and other products for export, channel con ditions, docking facilities and other data Ieailng with Coast marine growth. Mr. Andrews says: "Two of the striking features are te decrease In the number of sailing easels engaged In the foreign trade at San Frani-tsco. and the Increase In tne average slxe of all vessels. During I 1 1 0 the sailing vessels leaving iMi port In foreign trsde were scarcely li per cent of the number In lS71-l$7i. and at the same time the average space for freight and passengers on these vessels Increased from 704 to nearly )) tona Increases In the sixe of both sail and steam vessels are recorded for Portland. The relatively small average else of vessels and the great number vt clearances In foreign trade from I'uget Sound porta are caused to a large degree bv the frequent coastwise movements to and from British Co lumbia. Many of the boats In this trade would naturally be much smaller than the ocean steamers." REAVER'S TRICKS 101 FEET llrlilce llulldera Get Data Concern ing Clearance Needed. on request of engineers In charge of bridge work 'inder way In the har bor, i'aptaln Nelson, of the steamer lUairr. has furnished data concerning f the clearance required by his vessel ' In passing beneath lift draws. Among; ! other measurements Is one of 101 feet, 1 representing- the height of the Beaver's ' trucks from tne water when she has 1 about half a cargo aboard. The clear 1 ance beneath the roadway of the Broed- way bridge Is to be 80 feet above low water and It will be equipped with a bascule type of draw. The new Harri man bridge will have a lift draw of the same pattern as that on the Hawthorne avenue bridge. Captain Nelson says that when steel work is placed from shore to the west draw pier of the Broadway crossing, towboats will be required to get his steamer Into position that she may pass between the draw piers. With the Steel bridge out of the way when the new Harriman crossing is finished, he can back the steamer from Ainsworth dock and "line up" for the Broadway bridge without help.

The steamer Ore gona will continue running to Salem only. The Pomona has been operating only between Portland and points aa far as Mission Landing. The last trip this season to points beyond Salem was made early In July. Since then the water has been so low the Oregona has met difficulty In reaching Salem, and for a time in the Summer she was unable to proceed above Mission Landing. The Corvallls route was opened November 11 last year, but rains of the past few days have advanced the early boating stage. Loggers Ask Federal Protection. Manager Brewer, of the Loggers' Salvage Association, made Inquiry yes terday of United States District Attor ney McCourt to ascertain if It was not possible for the Federal authori ties to afford protection against the stealing of logs in the rivers, as such depredations have increased and the state laws do not appear to give ade quate remedy. Mr. Brewer was told that there was no Federal statute bearing on the case and Its authorities could only be Interested when differ ences between cltlxens of two states became Involved. It is alleged by the loggers and mlllowners that the state authorities are lax In their prosecu tion of such cases and It Is often be lieved that some mlllowners not only have guilty knowledge of the thefts but buy the logs, knowing that they Marine Xotes.

Nov, 9. (Special.) Two good eyes are among the essen tial qualifications for renewal of license of men who navigate ships under the Jurisdiction of the United States Gov ernment. The Department of Commerce and La bor at Washington has sent out a circu lar to all steamship Inspectors Instruct ing them to rigidly enforce the regula tion as to good eyesight of navigating officers. It is expected that the new order will have the effect of retiring many of the oldest and best-known skippers who have sailed the seven seas. The local inspectors recently declined to renew the license of one of the best known and efficient master mariners on the Pacific because of the loss of sight In one eye. For more than SO years he has been in command of seagoing ves sels, but the new order has retired him. The rule Is one that has long been established In the British Admiralty. Its adoption by the United States -Government means the passing of many sea captains who are In every other respect qualified for the command of - ocean going vessels. It developed during the recent hear ing of the wreck of the steamer Santa Rosa that the third mate. E. J. Thomas, who was on the bridge when the steam er ran ashore off Point Arguello on the morning of July 7. had faulty eyesight. NOTTINGHAM LIBEL IS FILED Port of Portland Assents lo Vessel's Coming Here. The Port of Portland Commission filed a libel suit yesterday in the admiralty division of the United States District Court against the four-masted schooner William Nottingham, which the tug Wallula picked up as a derelict at sea October 15 and towed to Astoria. The suit is brought In the names of the officers and crew of the tug as well as that of the bar pilot who was aboard. It recites that claims-for salvage have been made to the owners of the vessel and cargo, but no re sponse has been received. The value of the cargo Is fixed at 14000 and that of the vessel at 130.000. It Is asked that a decree of ownership be made In favor of the libelants or that an award of adequate salvage be granted. Judge Bogle, of Seattle, counsel for the Globe Navigation Company, owner of the Nottingham, asked the Port of Portland Commission yesterday to as sent to a plan of towing the schooner here, discharge her lumber cargo of .00. 000 feet and drydock her for survey. It was acceded to and as soon as the underwriters sanction the proposal she will be brought to Portland. She will remain In the custody of the United States Marshal until the libel Is ad Justed. As soon aa the extent of ber Injuries Is known 'bids will be asked for repairs. BIG BLOW HOLDS LURLIXE Aftermath of Astoria Tide and Wind Interferes With Shipping. Astoria's t'g tide of Wednesday night, which Is said to have been nearly 13 feet and accompanied by a strong northwest wind, flooded basements In the lower part of the city, and held the steamer Lurllne. of the Kamzn line, at her dock there until midnight. As a consequence the Lurllne did not reach Portland until 13 o'olock yesterday. No trouble was experienced on the tun up the river, as the Influence of the wind was felt principally In the lower har bor. Conditions had not Improved at the mouth of tbe river yesterday morning and the steamer Falcon was the only vessel to cross out and but one en tered, the steamer Bear, from San Fran cisco. The storm was not unexpected, as the weather bureau posted storm warnings Wednesday and vessels ar riving from southern ports reported having meuwlth heavy blows.

SHIP'S HOLD FIGHT SCENE Sailor Has Broken Jaw and Long shoreman Injured Hand. Jack Maher, a longshoreman, used Ms fists yesterday on Alesandre Ber tou. a seaman aboard the French ship La Banche, who Is alleged to have drawn a knife. Maher says the sailor cut him on the hand, and he landed a stiff uppercut on the Jaw of Bertou. whose Jawbone was fractured by the blow. It Is said. The ship Is loading wheat at Irving dock. Patrolman Grislm Investigated the case, but not having been a witness, made no arrest, and Harbormaster Speler was called.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Brotherhood of the First Congre gational Church. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee. chairman of the Civic Improvement League, gave a brief account of the or ganization of the league two years ago. and of the purposes for which It was organized. Its aims are to get the best municipal architect in the world to visit Portland to study Its topography, and that of the country tributary to It In all directions, and then prepare working plans for Its future growth covering a period of 100 years. These plans 70 all told have been finished by E. H. Bennett, of Chicago, and pho tographic copies of them were exhib ited In the address. On motion of T. S. No young woman in the joy of coming motherhood, should neglect to prepare her system for the physi cal ordeal she is to undergo, the health of both she and her coming child depends largely upon the care she bestows upon herself during the waiting months. Mother's Friend prepares the expectant mother's system for the comintr event, and its use makes her com fortable during all the term. It works with and for nature, and by gradually expanding all tissues, muscles and tendons, involved, and keeping the breasts in good condi tion, brings the woman to the crisis in splendid physical condition. The baby too is more apt to be perfect and strong where the mother has thus prepared herself for nature's supreme function.

Townsend a vote of thanks was ex tended Dr. Wetherbee for his address, and also the Brotherhood, by unani mous vote, favored the adoption of the plans as submitted. In emphasizing the necessity of a plan'to extend over 100 years, it was shown by one speaker that In 1870 San Francisco was is times larger than Portland, and that In 1910, it was only twice as large, and Portland was now growing more rap Idly than ever before. It was estimated that Portland will have a population of 2,000.000 long before 2010. If the ratio of growth from 1900 to 1910 129.2 per cent Is continued. IS ACCOUNTING OF PRISON" STOVE FOUNDRY FUNDS ASKED. Lowenberg, Going & Co. Allege Head of Penitentiary Plant Con verted Cash to Own Use. SALEM, Or., Nov. 9. (Special.) Al leging that during portions of the time that R. B. Fleming acted as su perintendent or the stove foundry at the State Penitentiary he had wrong fully converted funds belonging to the prize fund for the convicts and that he had also sold goods, wares and mer chandise belonging to Lowenberg, Go ing & Co. and converted the pro ceeds to his own use, that company brought suit In Circuit Court today against Fleming, demanding that he give an accounting to the corporation. It Is alleged that Fleming was su perintendent from 189S to August 21, 1911, and that as a result of his sales of goods, wares and merchandise be longing to Lowenberg, Going & Co. he had secured a large sum of money, the amount of which Is said to be un known to the plaintiff company. As before published, Sid Lowenberg, one of the leading proprietors of Lowenberg, Going & Co, had In timated to Governor West, during con troversies over the stove foundry, that Fleming had engaged In alleged pecu lation of the prize fund, or the R. B. Fleming disbursing fund, as it was called, and Lowenberg at tbe time de clared that considerable of the com pany's trouble In falling to make pay ments to the state on schedule was a result of Fleming's alleged conversion of the funds.
