TTTE MORXIXO OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECE3FBER 14, 1911. 20 ASNIERES IN LEAD French Bark Heads Portland List of Grain Carriers. UNION WILL REORGANIZE Ttrd action of Thrre Cent a Ton to Be Allowed for Excess Cargo Ten der Old Charter Provision. Snmii Cmtrr Way Early. Portland's lint of grain-carriers for the 113-13 season will be headed by the French bark Asnleres, wblcn was chartered thla wwk. and her engage ment marks an unusually early open-Ina- of the charter market. The rate la ITs id. the aame as ruled at the beginning of the present season and which prevailed during past years since the perfection of a union amonir own ers of foreign sailing vessels. In the past year the combine has lost consid erable strength, yet ts reported to be alive and some of the more Influential members hope to rejuvenate the or ganisation next year. Old Provlalaa Itevtved. The Asnleres- engagement has an other feature In that an old charter provision hss been revived that I cents a ton will be allowed as a reduction on the rate for each ISO tons of cargo loaded In escess of 1500 tons. The ves sel is to sail from Antwerp for San r'rancleco In general cargo and will proceed here, though will probably not be towed up the Ooast aa her lay days do not begin until September 15. It has frequently happened that sev eral vessels have been listed before Spring, but since the days of sailing vessels on the Coast It Is seldom that engagements are made so early, as the rates were established and until a fair Idea was obtainable of the probable outcome of the grain harvest exporters did not hurry to secure tonnage. Retreat ef Sailers) flew. If more European steamship lines make Portland a port of call next sea son there Is certain to be a decrease In the strength of the sailing fleet, for they will handle general cargo Inward and load back with wheat, yet It would appear that windjammers are making but a slow retreat from Paclflo Coast commerce and owners still find It proOt abla to keep vessels In commission In opposition to steam tramps. This sea son has been unusually good for all owners aa desirable tonnage has been scarce for Coast needs, and with the Oovernment transporting such Immense quantities of coal from the Atlantic to Navy-yards within the Golden Gate and rug el Sound, there have been more steamers sent this way than would have probably arrived In the general trend of business. WAXT STEERAGE RATE $7.60 If Swam Schooners Will Join, Tariff May B Advanced. Consideration Is given a proposal to Increase steerage rates between Port land and fin Francisco from l( to 17.60. A abort time ago the tralff was raised from ti to It. but some steamship op erators hold that the revenuea are not sufficient and point to the fact that i few yeara ago the charge for steerage passengers waa f 10. While the principal lines, the San Francisco Portland and North Pa cific, may enter Into a compact to main tain the rate at ,.u. u is nui certain that the association of steam schooner owners will follow suit. At present they receive the same rate as the larger vessels, but It Is contended that they should have some margin to attract tftisiness. Until this month the rush of steerage passengers Mouth was heavy, but there has been a material Increase and all lines are rustling for business. Even at the rate steerage patronage la welcomed Instead of car go being stowed In the same space, but soon there probablyewlll be lighter cargoes aa well as fewer names on the steerage list and It Is the aim to In crease revenues and get away from cut-rate figures. GRAIN' CARRIERS ARE BITS St- Rogatlen lU-adjr for Sea and In- vrrco Will Be Xeit. There waa a shifting about of grain carriers yesterday through the fact that more berths were available. The French ship Thiers left down with a fall ri S The French bark Ft. Ro gatien finishing loading wheat at Irv ing dock and went to the stream. 8he will probably clear today. The British bark Invercoe moved from the North Bank dock to the berth vacated by the St. Rogatien and If there Is sufficient space at Irving the French bark Bre tagne will shift from Mersey to begin loading. The British bark Conway Cas tle moved from IJnnton'to Columbia dock No. 3 and her berth at the bal last dock will be taken by the Inver logle. The German ship gtelnbek will have the last of her ballast out at Ltnnton today and probably haul up to the ele vator, and the British bark Lydgata will shift from the stream to a bal last berth. The Invercoe Is expected to complete her wheat cargo today and will probably get away at once, after being responsible for the fric tion between owners and exporters over the payment of 30 cents a tun for loading. The tJU Kngatlen'a owners had contracted for loading at the rul ing tariff, and. like the Thiers, she will not be named In a contest. J-REXCII SAILOR IS DROWVED Man Climb Railing Protecting Slip and Jails Into River. In a week two deaths have occurred on the waterfront through disregard of regulations demanded by Harbormaster fipeler. A member of the crew of the steamer Washington fell from the gangplank and no life-net being stretched, he was drowned. The sec ond death In the river was that Tuesday night of Jules Cleech. a member of the crew of the French bark Brategne. who climbed over a railing protecting a slip at Albers' dock, fell on to the slip and rolled into the river. At the Insisnce of Harbormaster Speler. railings are maintained around dangerous slips, that sailors returning to their ships may walk along the dorks without danger of stepping into them. At the outer enj of the railings, on the liver side, planks are provided on which to cross the slip spacea A com panion of Cleach aald yesterday that both climbed over the railing Instead of walking around, and fell, one saving Mmself from rolling into the stream. The body was recovered yesterday by Hugh Brady and was turned over to the Coroner.

DR. C. K. HOLSMAN CANDIDATES IN DOUBT DISCRIMINATION- POINTED IX CAMPAICN REGULATION'S. Difference in Salaries Paid to Dis trict Attorneys Jumbles Ex pense for Publicity. SALEM. Or.. Dec. 18. (Special.) That the Huntley act, commonly known as the corrupt practices act. will wsrk discrimination generally among: the District Attorneys of the state when tha question of campaign expenees Is up. and that in addition It will work discrimination mong the candidates for primary and sjeneral elections, is the discovery made by the Secretary of State's, office in preparing a pamphlet for the benefit of the voters and can didates. Next year will be the first that Dis trict Attorneys have been elected under the corrupt practices act and as a re sult the point Involved haa not come up before. One clause of the act provides that all office ejeekers shall hold their expense accounts to 15 per cent of their salary. As an Instance of the discrimination which it will work among candidates the Fourth Prosecuting Attorney Dis trict is cited. In that district there are three counties. Lane. Benton and Lin coln. In Lane County a deputy is em ployed at $600 a year; in Benton at $400 a year and in Lincoln at $200 a year, with the provision attached that ha is to pay the salary of the deputy in the county in which the Prosecuting Attorney lives. . If one candidate for District Attor ney is from Benton County his expenses will be limited to 15 per cent of $1600, while his opponent if he lives in Lane County will be limited ta 15 per cent of $1400, while a third opponent who lived in Lincoln County would have 16 per cent of $1800 to spend. In other counties like Multnomah, for instance, the District Attorney receives $4000 a year and has to pay no depu ties. Tne other case of evident discrimina tion which has been discovered is in the case of payment for space in the pamphfet. Candidates for office are al lowed four pages in the pamphlet and pay a stipulated sum for the first page and $100 a page' for all pages there after. Candidates for Congress who receive a salary of $7500 a year are charged $100 for the first page, while candi dates for Secretary of State, which of fice only pays $4500, are charged a like sum. Candidates for State Dairy and Food Commissioner are charged $25, the office carrying a salary of $2000 a year, while the candidates for the office of Railroad Commissioner, which office pays $4000 a year, are charged $26. A Justice of the Supreme Court who re ceives $4500 is charged $75; the Secre tary of State, receiving the same sum. is charged $100. A Circuit Judge, who receives $4000. is charged $50. NATRON EXTENSION PUSHED Work on Present Contract Hurried. Depot at La Grande Half Done. EUGENE, Or., Dec. IS. (Special.) That work on the present contract of the Natron extension is rapidly near lng completion Is the statement made by F. R. Hamblet. general office man ager at Natron, who was here yester day. Where three large labor camps have been maintained all Winter, says Mr. Hamblet. there Is now but one . bal lasting camp with about 60 laborers. One work train is employed in clear ing slides, which have been frequent, and In maintaining the track. The de pot building at Lowell Is about half completed, and when it is completed the contractors will move on to Jas per, and then to Oakridge. Changes in the lines of the original survey east of Oakridge. which Is the eastern terminus of the contract just being completed by the Utah Construc tion Company, are being rushed, and further contracts will be let within a short time. The next contract to be let probably will cover a stretch about II miles in lensrth. and will be up the Salt Creek Canyon. With the excep tion of one or two points, construction will he comparatively easy. From the end of this 12-mile stretch to the Junc tion at Odell with the Oregon Eastern.

A crew of men shortly will begin the construction of a 65,000-gallon steel tank at Oakridge, which probably will be a helper station on the new line. OPPOSITION LINE FEARED San Francisco May Draw Trade of Sluslaw From Portland. Stockholders In small vessels operat ing along the Oregon coast are inter ested in a report that a steel steamer, 160 feet long and with a draft of 10 feet, is to be built at San Francisco for the purpose of trading between there and the Sluslaw, drawing trade South that has been reaped by Portland. It is said that the strongest incentive for the operation of the new vessel is the fact that the Wendllng-Johnson in terests will operate their sawmill next season and other plants will resume, so that considerable material will be turned out for the California market. The gasoline schooner Anvil, which makes the Sluslaw, draws 8.8 feet of water and on her first voyage this month struck on the bar there and dam aged her shoe.'
