Number of Lines Increased
The number of steamship lines par
ticipating In the rates of the North
Atlantic-Pacific westbound confer
ence has recently been Increased to
six by the entrance Into the agree
ment of the Crowell & Thurlow inter
coastal line. 'Under the name of the
Intercoastal Sea Carriers, this line,
operating six steamers In the coast-to-coast
trade started wild, but with
a change in management and rep
resentation has come a change in
policy, and the company has agreed
to maintain the rates quoted by the
conference, posting a bond to be for
feited in case of violation.
The only Intercoastal line now
serving Portland which Is not "a mem
ber of the conference is the Isthmian
yine, operated by Norton, Lilly & Co.,
and this line has agreed to abide by
the conference rates.
Sub-Agent Is Named
The conference lines routing steam
ers regularly to Portland In the In
tercoastal trade are the Luckenbach,
Am erlcan -Hawaiian. Williams.

The Crowell & Thurlow Una will
be represented at Portland by the
Northwest Shipping company, as sub
agent for Sudden & Christenson, a

the Crowell & Thurlow steamers have
come to this coast, but none has had

AWKWARD SITUATION MET
Customs Officer Goes to Vessel Be
cause Officers Are 111.
The fable of Mohammed and the
mountain was recalled yesterday when
the French steamer Saint Joseph en
tered through customs. The custom
house went to the ship. The laws of
the country make a vessel liable to a
heavy fine if she Is not entered at the
custom-house within 2t hours of her
arrival at a port. Hence It was neces
sary for the Saint Joseph to enter
jesterday. The captain and first offi
cer were sick In bed. so an enterpris
ing representative of J. T. Steeb &
Co.. custom-house brokers, drove to
the custom-house, gathered up Harry
Montgomery, shipping commissioner
and deputy collector of customs, and
took him to the ship, where the nec
essary documents were signed in due
order.
The Saint Joseph Is here In the
service of the French line, represent
ed by the General Steamship corpo
ration, and will load a part cargo
for ports of the west coast of Mexico
and of continental Kurope.

E
HIGHER PRICES TO PREVAIL
BECAUSE OF TARIFF.
Increase in Import Duty Results
in Greater Charges to Con
sumer on New Stocks.
The Importation of peanuts from
the orient, which stopped abruptly
several months agro when the new
tariff was made effective, is beinjj
resumed on a larpe scale, with prices
sufficiently higher to permit the ab
sorption of the increased import
duty. Several small shipments of
peanuts have been received here re
cently In liners eominir from the
orient, and at least 8500 bass of
peanuts will be discharged here by
the Japanese steamer Horaisan Maru
of the fleet of Mitsui & Co. The ves
sel is expected here February 6.
A notable effect of the new tariff,
besides Increasing- the price of
peanuts to the consumer, has been to
raise the proportion of shelled nuts
over the unshelled. Formerly most
of the peanuts coming; here from the
far east arrived in the original shells,
but the shipment coming on the
Horaisan Maru contains 6200 bags of
shelled peanuts and only 2300 bags
of unshelled. -
The former tariff imposed & duty
of of a cent a Durtd on unshelled
peanuts and of a cent a pound on
shelled peanuts. The new tariff
places a duty of 3 cents a pound on
all peanuts Imported, shelled and un
shelled alike. The immediate effect
of the application' of this tariff was
to shut off .all peanut importations
until stocks in this country were
practically exhausted and the price
could be advanced to a figure high
enough to absorb the duty and still
leave a profit for the importer.

BMP POUT BODY SUED
TAXPAYERS CHARGE COM
PLAINTS IGNORED.
Commissioners Satd to Have Let
Contract for Dredge When
Treasury Was Empty.
GARDINER, Or., Jan. 27. (Special.)
Suit was filed in the Douglas county
circuit court, January 23, by the Port
Umpqua Taxpayers' league ' against
the Port Umpqua port commission.
Plaintiffs In the suit representing the
taxpayers league are: John Hedden,
Scottsburg; P. P. Wells. Elkton; Fred
Aesenheimer, Gardiner, ajid A. B.
Haines, Elkton. The Umpqua port
commission Is composed of the fol
lowing: Arthur Walker, Reedsport,
president; J. R. Browne, Reedsport,
secretary; W. F. Peck, Reedsport.
Joseph R. Butler, Reedsport; A. -La,
Butler, Scottsburg.
The complaint charges that th
port commissioners let a contract for
the building of a suction dredge when
there were no funds in the port treas
ury, regardless of the protests of the
taxpayers; that the 1922 budget pro
vides for the raising of $5000 for
semi-annual interest payment on out
standing bonds, in spite of the fact
that this interest payment had been
raised and set aside for the purpose
the previous year; and that the 1922
budget calls for interest money oa
bonds voted by the port commission
a year ago while bonds are still un
sold, due to the fact that they art
contested, and still In litigation.
Considerable feeling is shown among
the taxpayers of the Umpqua port
district, due to the fact that they be
lieve the port affairs have been con
ducted in an extravagant and Inef
ficient manner.

MILLION'S PAID BACK TO FED
ERAL RESERVE.
Stable Condition In Gotham Has
Made Itself Felt Throughout
the United States.
The (table financial condition that
has made itself felt throughout the
country Is shown In the condition of
banks in the nation's financial
capital. Twenty-five of the larger
New York city banks and trust com
panies do not owe the federal reserve
bank a dollar.
Dow, Jones A Co. has compiled a
table showing the status of "bills
payable at the federal reserve bank"
item. Statements of condition as of
December 31 last show that most of
the New York city banks and trust
companies are entirely free- of re
serve bank indebtedness.
Figures for 27 banks and trust
companies are Kiven. Tn addition
there is included the high point of
federal reserve borrowings as fur
nished by most of the banks, to
gether with such loans as of August
last and December 31.
At the peak 17 New York city
banks were obligated to the extent
of 1882.954,831. Two of them were
borrowing at the time the figures
were compiled and the total was
JgS.24S.000. The First National's in
debtedness was JS6.BOO.000 and the
Harriman National's J2, 745. 000. The
condition of the First National bank
is explained partly by the fact that
it holds $118,000,000 In government
securities of all kinds. Includlng
certiflcates of Indebtedness, of which
the bank is a heavy purchaser.
From the table some idea is gained

reserva bank loans. National City
bank at one time owed $142,000,000,
whereas today tt does not owe any
thing. Guaranty Trust has also wiped out
Its loans with the reserve bank. At
one time It was obligated to the
extent of $141,000,000.
National Bank of Commerce was
one time a borrowor of $115,000,000,
whereus now it docs not owe any
thing. Many smaller hanks not con
tained In this compilation are also
free of reserve bank Indehtednens.
This remarkable showing: of the
New York city bnnks and trust com
panies Is a result of caslnfr credit
conditions together with the exten
sive liquidation of commercial loans
and the lack of demand for new
credit for Industrial purposes. The
Industrial depression during the last
few months has released a lnrpe
volume of funds which lias enabled
borrowing member banks to liquidate
their loans with the reserve bank.
Money rates are reflecting: this
situation. Heretofore member banks
were retarded from offering; funds
in the money markets In that they
were obligated to the resorve bank.
Now that banks are freeing them
selves of such loans they are again
In a position to enter the open
market with larger offerings irre
spective of the federal reserve bank
rate. The member institutions nat
urally adjusted their rates In keep
ing with the reserve bank figure.
Heserve hank rates, however, de
clined during the Ir.st nix months of
tho year In company with f.nrlnkage
in members borrowings.
Following Is a table showing
reserve bank borrowings at the peak
for 27 banks, together with such
loans as of December 31, 1921:
