20 THE 3IOHXIXO OREGOXIAN, TEDXESDAT, DECEMBER 6, 1911. STEAMER ELDER IS LEGAL SUIT BASIS Head of North Pacific Com pany Starts Action Against "Lucky" Peterson. REFUND OF $9000 IS ASKED Aow mutiny Is Sought by Charles P. Don, Who Purchased ITalf In trt In SalTarxd Vessel Fir Tears Ago. With a view to perfecting tltla to his Interest tn the itttmrr Gi-o. W Flder. which sails tonight for San fMego and war ports. Charles P. Do, head of th North Pacific Steamship Company, has surd John H. Peterson, locally knomn aa "Lucky Jack." for an accounting, reciting that he has paid approximately $9000 In excess of 1rms aareed on for a half Interest In the steamer. The action recalls history tn connec tion with the Elder, which went on the rocks at Reuben, near Ooble. when owned by the Harrlman Interests. At that time It was declared a total loss. Fhe remained there It months and was sold by the Insurance companies to Peterson as "junk, for which he paid f 10.000. Ite arranged with wreckers from Detroit. Mich., to undertake the task of raising her, which they iuc cessfully executed. In the pleadings filed yesterday roe arera that July 6, 190. when the Elder was on the Port of Portland drydork at PL Johns, he secured an option for a half Interest In the vessel. It being stipulated that he was to pay for all repairs and to shoulder one-half of the expense of Installing- an oll-burn- Inf plant. Doe says that he liquidated tn the sura of flOf.dO.S2 and that Peterson has refused to give an accounting; and from what has been ascertained as to the cost of work and disbursement of funds ha believes that he Is entitled to a refund of $9000. It Is asked that Peterson be ordered to unfold his bookkeeping system and adjust the discrepancy. As Doe haa entered into a merger agreement with the Alaska Pacific and Alaska Coast lines, so that they are to be operated under one holding com pany, with the North Pacific, It Is be lieved locally that he has sued Peter, son In advance of formally transferlng his Interest In the Elder to th con solidated line. MINNESOTA'S LOAD IS RECORD Portland Will Ship 100.000 Barrel of Hour This Month. , From Tacoma has been received news that when the Great Northern liner Minnesota sails next week she will carry to the Orient the largest cargo In her history, and more left on the dock will require two extra steamers to transport It. The Minnesota will have approximately lt.OOO tons dead weight, of which 14.000 tons will be flour, cotton and miscellaneous con signments. When the steamers Dakota and Min nesota were built In 1904 many ship ping men regarded them as too large for the Pactrtc trade, and the loss of the Dakota was evidently not seriously felt by the Hill Interests other than aa to ber value. The Dakota haa not been replaced and business waa not regarded aa great until one steamer aa ordered loaded to capacity. Portland will export about 100.000 barrels of flour this month. The Lu cerlc will take out SO. 000 barrels, and as much more would have gone on the Htrathlyon. due the latter part of the month, had not orders been received to hold back some of the shipments ow ing to the China trouble. The Minne sota's big load la due to the fact that flour shipments for the year are to be cleaned up on the Coast and little trade Is looked for after January 1. SAILING SKIN BKATTTIFTER Beaver His Sailor Vhoe Complex Ion Is Envy of Women. Easterners patronising the "Bin Three" fleet have propounded queries to officers of the steamers as to why Western women traveling at sea do not resort to the use of veils. It fell to the lot of the Beaver's company to an swer, because aboard that vessel Is a sailor whose complexion Is the envy of women passengers. On a recent voyage of the Beaver the seaman was found by two women busily polishing brasswork. and al though the passengers had not met. the remark of one, calling the other's at tention to the fair complexion of the salt, paved the way for conversation. 1'nknown to the polisher of metal they discussed his looks, skin. hair, eyes and teeth. There was no debate on the fact exposure to salt air assists Mother Nature, and that the best skin food is to face the wind to produce a healthy glow, and that sea air will smooth wrinkles and clear the skin. Of course, steps must be taken In Summer to ward off tan. but at this season many brave the motion caused by heavy swells to remain on deck as much as possible to help beauty that Is skin deep. CONDOR IS NEARLY WRECKED Gasoline Sloop Has Koujrh Exper letK-e on Coo Hay Bar. MARSHF1 ELD. Or, Dec. 5. (Spe cial. The gasoline sloop Condor. Cap tain C. A. Baker. Is at Kruse ac Banks shipyard, at North Bend, for repairs, due to an exi-itlng experience on the Coos Bay bar today. The Condor, which Is owned by the Waldport Lum ber Company, of Waldport. Or, loaded with coal and shingles, was bound for Taquina Bay. In crossing out to sea she shipped three heavy waves and shortly after ward four more. Though the hatches were closed, water flowed Into the engine-room, the windows of the pilot house were broken by coal and some of the housing waa torn away. For a short time It was feared that the boat would be lost before she could get over the bar. Captain Baker, however, managed to get out and turned around and came back Into port. He has tied up for re pairs. Not more than a ton of the cargo was lost. LIGHTVESSEL TLAN PLEASES Congre Aked to Provide Funds for Or ford Reef Aid. Probably no Item In the budget of the Secretary of the Navy, as sent to Congress Monday, caused such satis faction In martttne circles as that of $160,000 for the construction of a light ship for Orford Reef, off Cape Blanco. The amount asked for the Columbia River's mouth, to be used on jetty work. Is $1,000,000. but that waa ex pected because the undertaking there haa become to be regarded aa a con tinuing project for which there will be money allotted unfll the two Jetties are completed. In the case of the Orford Reef light vessel It was not certain that the aid would be sought at the present ses sion, owing to 111 success met with In the past. The subject has been the occasion of several special reports and haa been recommended annually for the last few years. Captain J. M. Elllcott. IT. 8. N took up the question In two yearly reports, and at other times for warded pertinent statements as to the value of marking the reef.

ARBITRATORS HEAR PLAINT Captain of Invercoe Refuses to Pay 30 Cents Per Ton When 12 Cents To to Shippers for Truck age Salt Imminent. A dispute arising over the basis on which the British bark Invercoe was to be loaded with wheat, brought about a conference at the office of At torney W. C. Bristol last night, at which It waa decided to arbitrate the charges Friday morning. In the meantime the vessel haa teen declared "on iMrtli and will continue loading. In case the bark finishes her cargo be fore the subject Is settled, a suit may be filed to prevent payment of the excess alleged by the master of the bark to have been charged. The ves sel began loading at SO cents a ton, but the captain of the bark refused yesterday to continue the work. In sisting that the charge should not ex ceed IS rents. At a meeting yesterday morning at the Chamber of Commerce, Charles K. Curry qualified as an arbitrator for A. Berg, charterer of the Invercoe, and W. J. Jones acted In the same capacity on behalf of the owners. Masters of vessels In the harbor testified and all went on record against the policy of the exporters' "custom of the port In upholding the rate of 10 cents a ton, of which they receive 12 cents rebate on the ground that it represents the cost of trucking grain from the dock to ship's tackle. Wirt Minor attended the proceedings as counsel for Mr. Berg and Mr. Bristol was on hand aa attorney for the owners of the inver coe. Mr. Bristol has been retained by ves sel owners abroad who Insist that they should not be assessed for the ex pense of handling wheat on the docks. He said last evening that the arbitra tion proceedings begun are only the first step In a controversy that will no doubt lead to a suit before a set tlement Is obtained to the satisfaction of owners who want the custom of navlnir trueklnsr charges abolished. Exporters aver that trucking charges must be met and declare that there is nothing wrong in the practice, because It was placed In vogue years ago when the question arose as to the nroner amount that should DO aiiottea for the work and It cents was deemed equitable. In some cases it might not reach that figure, but they deny that there is any intention to profit at the expense of vessel owners. The exporters aYe not desirous of waging a legal battle ana aecry ino move to take the case io tno couna as needless expense. Mr. Bristol, now. ver insists uDon fighting the truck age charges and declares the case will be taken to court. II necessary. SPELER SATS STAGIXG TJXSAFE Strike Ends When Tarps-tilln Is Stretched as Life Net. There was a strike of longshoremen enarae-ed In loading the Maple Leal liner. Celtic King, at Montgomery dock No. 2. yesterday afternoon, when the men contended that a staging built f-om the dock to the vessel, about 12 to IS feet long, was uneafe on whlcn to work because there had been no Ufa net suspended beneath. Aa the ship waa not hauled close to tne oenn, uia Bias ing was necessary on which to truck barrels of tallow. Harbormaster Epeler was summoned hv the longshoremen, who refused to arbitrate with others, and, on his arriv al, the situation was gone over and stress laid on the fact that If a man fell from the staging he would drop on long pontoon used to keep vessels from striking the dock. It was offi cially decreed by the marine sleuth that the staging- was unsafe, in tnai a nie- net was lacking, and, on It being agreed to substitute a stout tarpaulin in lieu oi a net, the men consented to return to work. , "Tl a folne shlpmasther tn- laa Sneler must her made, wld his weather oi open for th' safety av th" mln." re marked one worker as he gave a hitch to his trousers, spat on bis hands ana began wrestling with another barrel of tallow. NEW DREDGE BIDS WANTED Government Alters Specifications to Conform to F'und. Bids received September S for the construction of an ocean-going dredge for service on Coos Bay have been rejected by the chleif of engineers be cause the lowest figure exceeded the appropriation and Major Morrow, Corps of Engineers. U. S. A., has or dered revised specifications prepared and bids will be readvertlsed for De cember 21. It Is proposed to advertise for about two months and tenders will be opened the latter part of February, so that all plants in the United States may have an opportunity of submitting figure. Firms on the Pacific Coast will be given the benefit of the cost of bringing the dredge from the Atlantic side, which is estimated at from $20,000 to $30,000, and keen competition Is expected. When the first bids were opened Moran Brothers, of Seattle, was the lowest, but they proposed to construct a dif ferent type of digger than the speci fications requested. The vessel will not be completed in less than a year. HARBOR MAPPING IS ASKED Astoria Port Commission Wants Lines Fixed at Seaside. ASTORIA. Or.. Dec. 5. (Special.)
