THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1913. 12 I'll BIDS ARE IN Tenders to Float Wreck Range From $14,000 to $48,000. VALUE PLACED AT $60,000 Marine Men Say Work Will 'ot Be Difficult When Rigging and Bal last Are Disposed Of Posi tion Remains Unchanged. Six lenders filed for floating: the German bark Mlml from the beach near N'ehalem. which were opened yes terday, ranged from 114.000 to 148, 000. It was the understanding; that the "no cure no pay" principle would apply and it is Incumbent on the suc cessful bidder to deliver the bark safe within the Columbia River. Captain Westphal. master of the vessel, with CaDtaln Albert Crowe, will ascertain the ability of the bidders to handle the task and then Inform the owners and the German underwriters. Robert Mcintosh, of this city, was the lowest with a bid of S14.000. and J. G. Curry, of Astoria, filed a tender of 114.900. The next nignest. 000. was from Moody A Reeves, with 112.500 bv the Willamette Shlpllnlng Company, both of Portland. Watt & Jlollyfleld. of Brighton Beach, where the vessel lies, bid $24,850. and the Vislier Comoratlon. of Portland, placed the figure at 148.000. Borne of the bids are said to be mucn lower man It had been estimated the work could he done for. not allowing- lor a prom, and it is believed that a contract will t awarded Immediately. Before the Mimi went ashore it Is raid she represented a value of about ISO. 000 and those who nave viewea the wreck and have bad experience in similar cases say it will not be an unusually difficult job to Bet it Into deep water, though expensive gear win b reaulred. Late reports from the Coast are that the Mlml has not hand her Dosition since she moved a few days after going on the sand. More of her rig-King will be sent down and it Is supposed that some of the ballast will be thrown over when an attempt is made to float her. FALIS OP ORCnr IX FLEET Royal Slall Announces First Steam er Front Iondon March 14. To care for cargo accepted for June shipment, the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company has chartered the British steamer Falls of Orchy. now at Ham burg, to load, here, sailing: June 30. She Is to depart from London via the Orient March 14. with general cargo, bne win be the first through vessel of that fleet. The company has chartered, the Brit ish steamer Harpagus to make one trip from Portland to the Far East. She la due April 12. so another vessel will be taken for May loading. The British steamer Robert Dollar left Kalama for Portland last night and will start loading 6000 tons of wheat and flour today. The vessel will also sail with a small shipment of lum ber. As the Hamburg-American Line will have Its first steamer here in May, there seems little doubt that shipments from now on can be taken care of. The British steamer Crown of Seville, of the Harrison line, reached San Fran cisco from Europe Tuesday and she will proceed, here by way of British Colum bia, discharging creosote at St. Helens and. continuing here to load lumber for Manila, also shipments of grain, and flour. EASTER X HELP MAX BE ASKED Klrclioff Urges Reciprocity Cam- ' palgn for Steady Trade. That Portland firms which purchase supplies and equipment from large Eastern factories having Interests in the Orient, now shipping to agencies there by way of San Francisco and Puget Sound, should ask these Eastern houses for a, division Is the view of Fritz Klrchhoff. agent for the Hamburg-American line. Mr. Klrchhoff Is sanguine that such solicitation on the part of Portlanders would produce results and to brtng about concerted action he intends tak ing It up with the Commercial Club and Chamber of Commerce. "Lumber and flour shipments will not maintain lines at all periods," says Mr. Klrchhoff. It Is the small stuff as well as large shipments that go to make up cargoes. Machinery, electrical equipment and other commodities move to the Orient from the United States, but none through the Portland gate way. Not a single parcel has been of fered for shipment to Manila, the larg est American city in the Orient. San Francisco and Puget Sound have aided their lines by hard work and boosting." HARVEST QCEEX EV DRYDOCK Steamer Travels Over 178,000 Miles With. Slight Attention. Having traveled 178.000 miles since receiving any but minor repairs, the steamer Harvest Queen, of the O.-W. K. N. river fleet, is In tbe hands of mechanics for a thorough going over and will soon be ready to relieve the steamer Hassalo on the Portland-Astoria run.

The steamer will be placed on the Port of Portland drydock and repainted. MEXDELL SLAKES 11 1-C MILES Government Tug Leaves Today for Official Fuel and Water Test.

Tbe vessel was placed in commission July C. 1912. She was floated from drydock Monday, after be. ing fitted with a new wheel. The tug leaves today for Astoria and on the way her fuel and water con sumption will be tested. She has burned an average of 17 tons of coal a month so far. The tug Arago has taken her place temporarily as a ten der for the north Jetty. BIG 'WIRELESS PTjAXT WORKS North llead to Be Principal Station Xorth of California. North Head can be connected by wireless with Government stations north of Dutch Harbor with a powerful modern plant that has been completely installed at the mouth of the river, and is working. The gear is technically known as a combination Telefunken system and comprises the latest In wireless advantages. It Is credited with being among the best the Federal authorities have provided on the Coast. Each pole supporting the aerial is 230 feet high and they stand 400 feet apart. Under a recent declsion.ortn Head will be the principal point north of California for the receipt of com mercial messages from sea. For that reason It Is thought there will be more business handled by way of the Co lumbia River than any point In the district. GRAIX MOVEMENT NOT HEAVY California Buying Expected to Be came General After March 3. Operators of coastwise steamers say they have not felt the demand for ton nage Incident to a resumption of wheat buying by California. The purchase of grain In large lots, which started again this week, after an inactive period, promises to give plenty of freight until midsummer. The Camino, which arrived yesterday from San Francisco, is to sail Sunday with 4000 tons of grain. She brought 1000 tons of cement and 60 tons of mis cellaneoua cargo. As March 3 is tax day In California, little movement Is expected prior to that. Marine Notes.

They told Stllwell that If he fired they would kill Fletcher and Collins. Stllwell pulled the trigger of his rifle, but It would not discharge. Whereupon he went to his stand and obtained an other rifle and fired, killing Charles Brown, a convict. Enraged at Stilwell's shooting.

John Patterson was praised for keeping an entire gang under bis charge from escaping by his nerve. Whenever Mr. Collins spoke of his experience he never referred to the injuries he received while saving the life of his subordinate officer.

The Oregon Monthly, the defunct lit erary magazine of the university, was stricken from the list of student activ ities and the Women's Glee Club was recognized on an equal footing with the men's organization. Karl W. Onthank the present editor of the Oregon Emefald, was re-elected for the Spring semester without oppo sition.

AUSTRALIANS MAY COME HERE Tonrlng Cricketers Can Be Given Match if Demands Are Less. If the Australian cricketers, who are touring the world meeting all comers, will modify their financial de mands, Portland lovers of the great English sport will see the-foreign champions in action for two days against the Portland. Cricket Club team next Summer. The Australians have asked for a $1500 guarantee to appear for two days in Portland, but Ed Fenwlck, secretary of the Portland club, is confident that they will come for $750. This sum can be raised. "When the management of the Australian team wrote us regarding dates I am sure that there was a misunderstanding regarding the cost of transportation from San Francisco," says Fenwlck. "I am sure that the team can get a stopover at Portland on Its way to British Columbia with out extra expense, and this should cut their guarantee demand in half." A letter awaits the Australians at New York and definite word will be received within a few days regarding the appearance of the 18 men here. Amateur Athletics.
