LUMBER CARRIERS TOO FEW Paciric Coast Interests Face Per plexing Situation. Returning yesterday froin a two weeks- business trip to San Francisco, W. J. Jones, manager of the stevedor ing firm of Brown & McCabe, said that he found shipping interests there in a peculiar position. "There are at least a dozen steam ship cargoes of lumber contracted for In the Pacific Northwest for July, Au gust and September shipment." he said, with only one steamship at present in sight. Some of the lumber exporting firms are short and will have to engage vessels at any price at which they can be secured. They have sold the lumber on a basis of from six to seven shillings a dead weight ton. and may be held up so as to have to pay be tween nine and ten shillings, which Is only in proportion with the advance of grain tonnage. Everything in the nature of a ves sel fit to carry lumber Is at work and there Is no idle tonnage around San Francisco. At the present time there are 14 steam schooners under construc tion for Pacific Coast lumber carriers, with capacities of from 1.500.000 to 2.500.000 feet. They are all of an im proved tvpe. with the decks made up of continuous hatches. Into which pack ages of lumber of 3000 to 5000 feet can be stowed, and In this way it Is pos sible to load and discharge within 34 hours. By this manner some space is lost, but the saving of time more than compensates. When these s t earn schooners begin operations this ear the Coast lumber tonnage will be in creased 60 per cent, and then some or the old steam schooners will have to -be laid up." LAW IS SAID TO BE LACKING Persons on American Sailing Ships Not Properly Safeguarded. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the wreck of the steam ship Titanic has drawn attention to every safeguard given vessels at sea and in Inland waters, with the Vesult that the Government officers nave been enforcing old rules and regula tions and establishing some new ones. Captain Albert Crowe, surveyor for marine underwriters, speaks of a phase of the controversy that has not been brought to general attention. "There are no laws of the United States In force to safeguard persons who go to sea in sailing vessels that fly the American flag." he said, "but at the same time the greatest care Is taken to insure the safety of what these ves sels carry. In my capacity as surveyor for the Insurance companies It Is my duty to see that the vessel Is In such condition as to carry cargo safely and to Insist that the vessel shall be placed In such condition, but no one does that lor the crew In case an accident should happen. The owners of these vessels are entirely responsible, as the cap tains, under modern service, have little or nothing to do with the equipment of their ships." OFFICERS CHANGE AT ASTORIA Engine Room of Onconta Deserted. Boat Is Out of Commission. ASTORIA. Or.. June :5. (Special.) There were several changes today In the officers and crews of the Port of Portland bar tugs This evening Cap tain H. F. Astrup. who has recently been in charge of the dredge Chinook, assumed command of the tug Wallula and Captain M. Nolan, the tug's former master will act as a pilot. When the tui Oneonla arrived at her wharf last evening Chief Engineer Hughes. Assistant Engineer Tennant ud tl two oilers" gave up their posi tions and stepped ashore. The reason for this, was not given, but it is un derstood to be the result of a misun derstanding that has existed for some time. The tug is now out of commis sion until a new engine-room crew is procured. cv Steamer America Launched. The new steamer America, that has been built for the Holman Transporta tion Company was launched Monday evening at the Milwaukie ship yards in the presence of its owners, builders and many of their friends, a bottle of sparkling wine mingling with the ripples of the river as she entered the water. The America is 120 feet long. 19 feet beam and is equipped with Scotch marine boilers that will develop 250 horsepower and expected to drive the boat at least 16 miles per hour under natural conditions. She will go into commission on July 15 or earlier, if possible, on the run be tween Portland and St. Helens. Marine Notes. The steamer Sue H. Elmore sailed last evening for Tillamook with a full freight. The steamship Lord Derby, with a cargo of lumber for China, will go to sea today. The steamer Breakwater arrived yes terday from Coos Bay with' freight and passengers. The Japanese steamship Madasan Maru, with a general cargo, for the Orient went to sea yesterday. The steamer Bear will sail today for San Francisco and San Pedro and the steamer Rose City is due to arrive during the day. The Norwegian steamship Opland has been in the harbor since May 17 taking on cargo for the Orient, almost a record but the delay has been the result to repairs being made to her boilers.

An order dissolving the temporary receivership of the Almeda Consolid ated Mines Company was Issued yes terday by Federal Judge Bean. This was done upon petition of 48 stockhold ers of iDayton, Ohio, who telegraphed to Attorney S. C. Spencer their wishes in the matter, saying they desired to Join In a protest against the appoint ment of a reeciver. "On examining the record,' said Judge Bean, "I am satisfied there is no reason for continuing the temporary re ceiver of the physical properties of the defendant corporation. "All the charges of fraud and mis management made In the bill are sat isfactorily denied by the answer and by numerous affidavits on behalf of the defendant. "The appointment of the receiver is an extraordinary proceeding, and should be made only upon the clear showing of necessity therefor. The plaintiffs have not made such a showing in this case. "The order heretofore made appoint ing a temporary reeciver will be va cated so far as the physical properties of the defendant and the management of its affairs are concerned. The receiver will be continued, how ever, in control of the books and papers of the defendant company so far as it may be necessary to enable the com plainants to examine the same and to take an accounting therefrom If they so desire, on the condition that they shall make satisfactory arrangement with the receiver or accountant for the payment of the expenses therefor. The defendant and its officers and agents to have access to said books and papers and the use thereof at all reasonable times." Robert Tucker was apoplnted the temporary receiver about two weeks ago. Application therefor was made by stockholders of Dayton and Spring field. Ohio. They alleged they had 100.000 worth of practically worthless stock. The company was organized in 1905 with capital of $15,000,000, to en gage In the mining business. FACULTY PLANS ARE MADE Professor Ewer Will Pass Summer in Rhode Island.
