H1GHERRATESLIKELY Portland-San Francisco Sea Tariff Expected to Rise. MARCH 1 PROBABLE DATE Action Believed Sure toy Steamship Agents, - In View of Recent An nouncement In Regard to l-'are to Los Angeles. Passenger rates between Portland and San Francisco on the regular steamship lines are fully expected to be advanced Marcn 1, when the new tariff to Los Angeles goes Into effect, through which first-class rates are ad vanced $1 and. Intermediate rates J2, with steerage charges tl higher. The announcement of the new Port land-Los Angeles tariff last week is said to be In compliance with the reg ulatlons of the Interstate Commerce Commission, making it obligatory for steamsnip lines connecting with rail lines, as the vessels do at San Pedro on Los Angeles business, to file tariffs 30 days In advance of the effective date. As there has been no change in the Portland-San Pedro rate of S26.15 while the Portland-Los Angeles tariff Is to be $27.50 after March 1 and the rail charge between the two Doints only 35 cents, it is apparent a higher cnarge is prospective to San Pedro, else the new Los Angeles rate would be of no benefit to the lines. The fact that that rate must be raised, also the lack of announcement, has convinced steamsh4pmen that the full new sched ule has not been made public. To what extent the Portland-San Francisco tariff may be boosted has not been intimated, but with the Los An geles rate from $1 to $2 higher, it is thought that the same percentage of Increase will apply. The San Francisco-Los Angeles, field is full of com petitors and with higher charges de cided on there is all the more reason, say Portland agents, why there will be a. change between Portland and San Francisco, where only two regular lines ply In competition with the independent carriers. Frank Bollam, agent here for the Yale and. Harvard and independent steamers, said-yesterday that he had not been informed of any contemplated increase on the formei ships from San Francisco south or on the others out of Portland. PUBLIC TO DISCUSS RATES. Now Dock Tariff to lie 'Submitted Before Official Adoptiou. When the Commission of Public Docks completes a schedule of proposed charges for handling cargo on public wharves a meeting of shipping men, stevedores and others informed on ma rine subjects dealing with berthing vessels and moving cargo will be called so that rates may be thoroughly de bated on in advance of being compiled in the form of a tariff. G. B. Ilegardt, chief engineer of the Commission, is engaged in threshing over tariffs of other ports, those now in vogue here on private and corpora tion docks, and various features of re ceiving and dispatching- vessels. He will draw a tentative tariff for sub mission to the Commission, iind in turn for public consideration. Those who Have harbored thoughts of taking civil service examinations with a view of falling heir to lucrative positions on, the new docks must put behind them visions of SHOO a month or more, for it is being seriously con sidered to pay wharfinger $125 a month. He will probably have the as sistance of a clerk, also dock laborers, and when business demands there may bo more men on the payroll, but there is no disposition on the part of the Commission to burden the disbursement sheet with higher salaries than are paid elsewhere. NEW WATCH GIVEN ENGINEER Herrings Crew Remembers Chief Pence When Transfer Comes. Captain .Macdonald, of the Associated Oil Company's tanker W. F. Herrin, "put one over" on O. E. Pence, chief engineer of that vessel, at San Fran cisco a few days ago, when he pre sented him with a handsome timepiece of gold and platinum, the gift of the crew. There were other talks and a general jollification followed, for Mr. Pence was popular as head of the "black gang." He was ordered from the enirineroom of tho Herrin to the Union Works, where the new tanker F. H. Buck is under construction, and he is to super vise the final installation of her motive power. The new vessel is to ply with the Coast fleet from Monterey and wil give the company additional tonnage that has been required as a result of the loss of the steamer Rosecraii3 a year ago last month, and a natural in crease in oil consumption. DEPARTMENT HEAD MAY ACT Final Move in North Head Cable Case Yet to Come. David F. Houston. Secretary of Agri culture, promised on the occasion of his visit here last week to interest him self in the restoration of the cable con necting North Head with the Oregon shore, and marine men desirous of re establishing that communication have hopes that he will exert an influence on behalf of the move. Patrons of the Merchants Exchange have not lost because of the fact that the cable Is out of commission, for through special arrangements at As toria, the condition of the bar is re ported morning, noon and night, also the movement of vessels in and out of the river. The lack of frequent weather reports is unsatisfactory, as they must be sent to the Weather Bu reau now by wireless and only during the hours prescribed for commercial messages. LA ROCHEJAQUELEIX CLEARS Exporters Not Informed as to Char , ter Rates on Grain Via Canal. Ipswich is the destination of the French bark La Rochejaquelein, which was cleared yesterday with a grain cargo having a valuation of $89,037. On her manifest is shown 115,725 bushels of - barley, worth $72,212. and 18,695 bushels of wheat, valued at $16,825. She shifted to the stream from a berth at Columbia dock No. 2 yesterday and may leave' down tomorrow. In tow of the steamer Ocklahama. The La Roche jaquelein arrived in the river from San Francisco January 8. As the 1913-14 grain fleet dwindles and exporters begin to figure on ton nage for the 1914-15 movement to Eu rope, the question of rates has arisen, as the opening of the Panama Canal is counted on to have a material effect, also causing the bulk of the grain to move in steamers. So far no intimation has been given as to the probable rate via the Canal. It Is believed that sail Ins vessels will continue to be repre- sented in the grain fleet, though mak ing their-way to the United Iviiigdom via the Horn. - TRAFFIC RECOltD IS KEPT. Time Required for Passing Vessels Through Bridges Is Noted. Through a system in vogue on the Hawthorne avenue, Morrison street, Burnside street and Broadway bridges, a check is maintained on all vessels passing through, the maximum, mini mum and average time being recorded. The O.-W. R. & N. has kept such a record on the railroad bridge, and while operators of other crossings have checked vessels on their own account or recorded movements at times when ordered by the County Commissioners, the present system la permanent, being used on all bridges across the Willam ette under the jurisdiction of the County Commissioners. A report is filed at the Courthouse each month. News From Oregon Ports. ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. 4. (Special.) There has been little doing In shipping at the mouth of the Columbia River to day. The bar was rough, with a strong west, southwest wind blowing, and no attempt wTas made to tow any of the sailing vessels to sea The steamer Bessie Dollar came down the river to day, but dropped anchor In the lower harbor, and the only vessel crossing out was the steamer Breakwater.
