He first settled at Chicago, where he re sided 10 years, engaging in vessel con struction. He came to Portland in 1876 and two years later entered the employ of what is now the O.-W. K. & N. Company. Until 1880 he was con nected with the plant at the "bone yard" and was advanced to foreman in 1880 and sent to Kiparia. While at that yard he had charge of building the present steamer Spo kane and rebuilding the steamer Lew iston, both of which the company op erates on the Snake Itiver. Pension Is Awarded. Jlcturning to Portland In 1888, he was promoted to master shipwright for the company and served until Jan uary 31, 1910, when he was retired on -"pension. On severing liis connection witli the yard, he was presented with a gold watclt by the employes there. The first vessel built here under the supervision of Mr. Carstens was the steamer Elmore, now lying at the "boneyard," though she was since re built. The next was the steamer Ruth, at present owned by the Willamette Transportation Company and operated in the paper trade between Portland and Oregon City. .

OITICK COMKS NEXT Hamburg-American After Passenger Business in This Territory. Following the action of the passenger department of the Hamburg-American line in establishing an office at Seattle a few weeks ago, Lesley W. Hayes Northwest passenger agent for the fleet, who was in the city yesterday, says that another is to be opened at Portland shortly. "We find a large volume of trans-Atlantic travel is from Portland and this vicinity, especially among persons who came originally from Europe," said Mr. Hayes. "Of course considerable travel is derived from the northern cities and Seattle was first selected as being near the center of the Northwest territory. We have been advised that the lmperator will sail from New York March 21, she having been out of serv ice since November for an overhauling and repairs, and a number of bookings have been made for the voyage." The Hamburg-AmerIcaTi freight de partment has been established here since it was decided to make Portland the terminus of the European-Oriental-Pacific Coast service, with Fritz Kirch hoff in charge. BREAKWATER IIAS NEW CARD Steamer Shifts From Night to Day Schedule Next Week. Beginning March 18 the steamer Breakwater is to leave Portland at 8 o'clock each Wednesday morning for Coos Bay instead of the same hour Tuesday night, reports Captain Mac genn, who brought the vessel to her berth at Ainsworth dock yesterday. May 1 the Summer schedule goes into effect, with sailing every five days. A report that the Breakwater was delayed leaving Coos Bay because of grounding was responsible for the skipper being out of humor, and he said BUILDER the sole cause of the vessel bein tardy was that her sailing hour from Marshfield was temporarily changed. and, getting away late, she encountered fog. Work- is planned aboard the steamer to provide about eight addi tional passenger accommodations, sub ject to the approval of United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller. Captain Macgenn declares that poets weather prophets and others, to the contrary notwithstanding. Spring is at hand, for on the run from Coos Bay the vessel headed into a northwester that blew 40 to 44 miles an hour, which he asserts is the first genuine Spring breeze from that quarter this year. RATE ADVANCE IS GENERAL. North Pacific and . Independents Make Announcement. All steamship lines operating be tween Portland and California ports have agreed to an increase in passengci rates to San Francisco, as announced Saturday by the San Francisco fit Port land line, but the independent vessels have not followed the regular lines in raising tho tariff as far as San Pedro and Los Angeles. Martin J. Higley. agent for the North Pacific fleet, was advised yesterday that his company had joined in the advance, but that it be came effective March 12, so he says It does not apply on the steamer Roanoke, sailing tomorrow night. The San Fran cisco & Portland is selling tickets at the new rates on the steamer Beaver, sailing Thursday. Frank Bollam, agent for the inde pendent vessels, received Information yesterday that the new Portland-San Francisco rates would be $11 in the cabin and J 7 in the steerage, an in crease of jl. That gives, the inde pendents an advantage of $1 on cabin fares, as the others are $12. $14 and $15 to San Francisco, the steerage being the same. It is not known why the $1S rate to Los Angeles was . not changed by the independents. NEW FERRY LANDING ON TODAY Dock Commission Prepares to Out wit June Freshet. Workmen are to start this morning on the demolition of what has been known as the Harvester dock, on the north end of the Martin-dock site, so that A. C. U. Berry, who was given a contract by the Commission of Public Docks for the erection of the second unit of Dock No. 1, can clear the ground and begin on the new slip for the Lower Aibina ferry without delay. It is aimed to drive the outer piling for the slip during the low water stage so as to proceed from the harbor line toward Front street with the work, thereby keeping ahead of the freshet, unless there is an abnormal rise. The ferry slip will not be an improvement over the present one, as it is intended simply to duplicate iL The present landing at the foot of Seventeenth street will be covered by the public dock that will have an unbroken front age of 1075 feet and the new landing will be about 425 feet north of the existing slip. BELGRAVIA TAKES BIG LOAD Portland Furnishes Two-thirds of Liner's Oriental Cargo. More than 6000 tons of cargo was carried on the Hamburg-American liner Belgravia when she sailed yester day afternoon for northern ports, on her way across the Pacific and around to Hamburg. As the steamer has a deadweight capacity approximately of 9000 tons, it is apparent that Portland is doing more than Puget Sound cities in patroninzing the big fleet. On virtually every Hamburg-American vessel sent from here since the service was established the ratio of cargo loaded has been greater than at Seattle and Tacoma. More than 40. S 000 barrels of flour went out on the Belgravia, all for the Orient, while the total Oriental shipments for February Were but 7788 barrels. Low rates pre vailing, which for a time were thought to have had no effect on buying, are now regarded as being responsible for a nominal increase in shipments. The Glenroy, of the Koyal Mail fleet, gets away the latter part of the week with a large cargo, made up principally of lumber. DIVERS MAY REPAIR IKALIS Well-Known British Tramp Dam aged Recently in Suez Canal. Late news from Port Said concern ing the British steamer Ikalis, a trader generally known here, is that when she grounded In the Suez Canal re cently there were 13 of her frames bent, numerous rivets broken and sheared and other minor damage.

On her last voyage she sailed from Saigon, January 11, 1 r Port Said. STEAMERS ARE IN DEMAND Ran Francisco Firms Gather Vessels in Advance of 1915 Fair.

The diet should be light, and all animal food should be excluded as far as possible from the dietary.
