THE MORXTXG OREGOyiAX, FRIDAY, NOVTOrrrEll 27, 1914. 13 U ORIENT BUYING TIES Northwest Millmen Asked to Tender 9,C00,C00 Feet. ENGLISH BUYING REPORTED With End of War Extensive Orders for I umber Are Expected, bat Effort Will Be Made for Preference in Canal. Batlroad ttes aggregating 9.000,000 feet are wanted In the Orient from the Pacific Coast and millmen of the North west are interested in bids to be opened for them December 2, as virtually three cargoes will be sent across the Pacific to fill the order, which may be in creased. Ordinarily the prospective tie contract would not be so alluring, but with the Far Eastern lumber market almost at a standstill since the incep tion of the hostilities in Europe, not only is the business desirable, but is encouraging in foretelling that avenues may be opened also for merchantable tuff. Incidentally, so it is reported to Port land millmen, orders have been placed on the Gulf for 600,000 feet of ties for England and there has been "nibbling" from there for Pacific Coast ttes. Re habilitation of Belgian and French ter ritory after the war is expected to cre ate an unprecedented call for North west timber and invasion of England or Germany would only enlarge the market possibilities of American milla Assuming that dimension timber and lengths cannot be furnished along the liaet Coast of the United States for re construction of bridges and large struc tures, the outlook is for this region to benefit more than any other in the new trade. Millmen are wondering if experiences of the Federal Administration in the operation of the Panama Canal from the standpoint of American develop ment will have any Influence toward repealing the clause providing for tolls on American ships by the next Con gress, because they assert one big or der has demonstrated that in the lum ber trade the Canal is more beneficial to foreign bottoms than those flying the flag of the United States. This contract was entered into by the Dol lar Steamship Company, of San Fran cisco, operating certain steamers un der the British emblem, to move lumber from British Columbia to Philadelphia and New York. It is contend 3d that lower wages paid on those shops, as compared with American carriers, not only made it possible for foreign vessels to set the business, but for the same reason Brit ish Columbia mills were given the or ders in preference to American plants. The British steamer M. S. Dollar left British Columbia November 20 with a cargo for New York and Philadelphia and she was preceded by the British steamer Robert Dollar, which just fin ished discharging 2,500,000 feet on the Atlantic side and a third cargo is to go. It Is contended here that the ac tual price of the lumber was above what it could have been obtained for on the Pacific Coast of the United States, but the price margin wu offset by cheaper transportation charges. WARX1XG IS GIVKX MARINERS Changes In. Canadian Navigation Aids Dae to War Announced. Officials of the Custom-House have received the following notices from the office of A. Johnston, Deputy Minister of the Department of Marine and Fish eries, Ottawa, Canada, bearing on war preparations that mariners are warned of: The masters of all vessels navigating in Canadian waters are requested to report the movements of any suspicious craft which they may meet to the customs officer of the first port at which they touch, for transmission to the captain in chart,- of the drydock at Halifax.

XtlVER HAS "HOLIDAY, TOO Waterfront Life Almost Ceases and j All Hands Feast on Tarter. Even the Willamette River assumed a most quiet and sluggish pace yester day, and along the waterfront life was In accord with the placid stream, ac tivity having ceased for 24 hours. In the evening some of the Inbound ves sels arrived and that was the first disturbance of consequence during the da, except movements of the river pas senger steamers. Virtually all of the towing fleet was In port and. with 25-cent turkey plen tiful, there were no substitutes on steamboats for the National bird. No emergency exls.d for hurrying wheat ' carriers, and coasters due to sail today had their cargoes in such condition that longshoremen were not called on to "turn to." Steamers not in port had been stocked in advance of sailing, bo, whether In the river or on the high eea, turkey was with th.' . So. prob ably, the only real laborer during the day was "Cookie," likewise the most popular. LOST GRAIX FEEDS " CHICKENS Bweepings of Dock Vehicles Pro vide Food Tbat Would Be Wasted. Drivers of transfer vehicles handling (Train these days wonder at the thoughtfulness of csrtaln dock-workers who sweep wagon beds clean of cereals when loads are removed. It Is not through the desire , of the dock fraternity to see tidy trucks, but their frugality in gathering poultry feed for the home flocks. There is little waste on docks of that character that is lost for that reason. On the big grain docks, when sacks break and grain is spilled, it is always cleaned and resacked. the dock floors being so constructed as to permit of the saving. Where river steamers berth, there is such a variety of freight handled that a small leakage of grain goes with sweepings unless segregated by the dock force.

Girl," at Heflig, Langhs When Paper Links Name of Play and Bigamy. BT LEOXE CASS BAER. DIRE consternation raged rampant in the Flag-rath apartment at the Seward hotel yesterday, where Mother Flugrath and ; her wee pretty little girl, Leonie (Dana) Flugrath, were pondering over a headline one of the screaming scare sort in a San Francisco paper.- "What will father say?" wondered Leonie, and "My, I hope none of the neighbors ever see this," murmured Leonle's young mother. "The scareline read, "Is the Mother of the Poor Little Rich Girl a Biga mist?" Since everyone lias come to as sociate Leonie Dana as the poor little rich girl that headline did sound dread fully personal somehow to mother. -"You know how the world feels to ward stage folk," she said, "So curious about the Inside of our lives, whether we are as old or as young ad we look, whether our . teeth or morals are false, and scandal is particularly relished. And this headline sounds as if it refers to me. Of course. It's amusing to us but you have to read through a whole column to find out that it means Eleanor Gates, who was Mrs. Richard Tuily and lately became Mrs. Moore." Child Sees Joke in Line. Mother Flugrath smiled ruefully, but Leonie thought it was a great Joke on someone. Then she listened carefully while her mother explained what big amy is and made clear to her how a flaw in a divorce decree could make the Tully-Gates-Moore episode a subject for discussion under the California laws. Leonie is just like all happy, healthy, normal children in her un bounded search for Information. Remember in the play how she has everyone racking their heads to spell "absquatulate," and heaven only knows if that's the right way. Well, Leonie lives up to it every minute. She car ries a little library of thumbed books, and a dictionary, and she studies French with one of the company and talks German with mother. She doesn't give a tup'penny about dolls" because they're not alive," but she loves real babies and mothers her heart out on a white rabbit she carries with her. "All actresses have dead rabbits' feet for luck," says Leonie, "but I like mine alive." His name is Alphonse and he has the whitest back and the dirtiest feet I ever saw. Leonie explains it by say ing that she gives him a nice bath regularly, but that he insists on run ning around to get dry, and gets his feet all black again. AlphonBe is ec centric and eats caviar and sweet pickles, and a lot of junk that he seems to thrive on. Also he is fond of skirt hems, and had managed to make a comfortable meal off my best one be fore I knew he was in the Interview at alL Little Actress Likes A nimala.

For a year and a half Captain Works, chief aide to "Captain" Budd, directing the O.-W. R. & N. fresh-water lines, has reared a hen in his backyard. For the same period the hen has rendered no greater service than to devour her share of poultry food. Contributing to the family larder In the way of eggs seems to have been farthest from - her Intentions. Therefore the feathered one was selected as the Thanksgiving bird. Wednesday was set as the date for execution.. Before starting for the waterfront Captain' Works, essaying the role of. the beheader, headed for the poultry yard, but on nearlng the hennery rang for full upeed astern on hearing a clamorous cackle. On swing ing alongside he observed that the doomed chicken had redeemed herself by laying the first egg. one that is said to offset all others in size, weight and appearance. Thereupon an order was made immediately for her parole, with prospects of a complete pardon. And for that reason turkey graced the table yesterday and a tradesman was the gainer.

SECRETARY WANTED SOON Applicants for Other Offices Are Asked to Wait' T7ntll After Leg islative Session to See What Boards Will Remain. Oovernor-elect "Withycombe Is expect ed in Portland today on official busi ness and to consult with local advisers on prospective appointments and plans lor his administration. The next Governor also is working- on his first message, . which he will submit to the Legislature immediately after it convenes. He proposes to make his message short. It probably will contain a plea for economy in all affairs and for special attention to remedial legislation. It is believed that Dr. Withycombe will appoint his private secretary either while in Portland today or im mediately upon his return to his home at Corvallis. He reports that he Is handicapped In his present efforts through the lack of a secretary s as sistance and indicates that he will make the appointment effective about December 1. Although the new Governor has re ceived more than a score of applica tions for the position, it is said that he is giving serious consideration to only two of the applicants. It is probable that other appoint ments will be held up until after the Legislature adjourns if the next Gov ernor adheres to his original policy. Comr-teay by Mr. Weit Indicated. Governor West has said that he will permit Dr. Withycombe to indicate his own choice in filling vacancies before the present Governor leaves office. A few such positions are to be filled. Principal among them are the office of state printer, a place on the In dustrial Accident Commission, the su perlntendency of the Boys' Industrial Home and several places of minor im portance. C. E. Babcock. whose term as a mem ber of the Industrial Accident Commis sion expires January 1, Is a Bepub lican and Is understood to be desirous of reappointment. It Is said that at the time Governor West appointed him It was with the promise of continuing him m office, as he drew tha short term. It is reported, however, that the Governor now seeks to replace him. but the Governor is expected to allow Dr. Withycombe to make this appoint ment if be allows him to make tho others. Inasmuch as the next Legislature Droposes to abolish a good many boards and commissions ana prooabiy do away with several high-salaried Jobs, Dr. Withycombe considers it useless to fill those places only to have them go out of existence automatically soon after he takes office. Applicants .Are Instates. He has advised all aspirants, there fore, to wait until after he takes of fice, or until after the Legislature ad journs before pressing their applica tions. In spite of this position, however. the Governor-elect has been besieged from every . side hy an eager horde of office-seekers. Every place within the gift of the executive has been spoken for. A large number of places are not filled by the Governog himself, but by the State Board of Control, consist ing of the Governor, the State Treas urer and the becretary of State. Under the present administration the Board of Control has been dom inated by Governor West and Ben W. Olcott, Secretary of State. Olcott is a Republican, but a close friend and rel ative of the Governor, who first ap pointed him to office to fill the unex pired term or tne late jj-rank w. Ben- eon. Two years ago Olcott waa electod to succeed himself. Thus there is a strong bond of sympathy between the present Governor and the Secretary of State. Thomas B. Kay, State Treas urer, has been a minority member of the Board of Control, but under the new administration it is expected that, tV.l i l T,V? ,aest and Largest Coffee ( 5TUVV IS emm Governor Withycombe and Treasurer Kay will work together and consult on appointments. Dr. Withycombe expects to pass the entire day in Portland and may remain until tomorrow. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DDE TO ARRIVB. Nam. From. Data.
