THE SUNDAY OREGON! AX. TORTLAND, JUNE 17, 1906. 11 M MEAN THE END ndications Point to Termina tion of Sailors' Strike. WORK RESUMED BY SOME men will not bring; vessels here because they are satisfied they would be unable to load them. Close down of mills means suspension of operations at logging camps, and results will be serious and far-reaching. Millmen are inclined to be pessimistic, saying the strike will doubtless be con tinued, as the Shipowners' Association has determined not to give in. Chief of Po lice Chrlstensen has guaranteed the mill men that he will protect all vessels that may arrive to load from any violent dem onstration on the part of the strikers, and the Mayor has determined, if necessary. to ask the Governor to send state troops to preserve order. Union men say they 11 not molest nonunion vessels. They seem satisfied they have won the strike, but the millmen say otherwise. lilpowucrs Believe Backbone I btrike Is Broken on Account ot Xack of Popular Favor. Loading the Korea. With the departure of the steamer Johan Poulsen yesterday for San Fran cisco all further trouble along the water front is believed to have ceased. The attack of lust Tuesday evemns pained the strikers so much censure tout they have discontinued all further attempts at intimidation along that line. Captain Lcvison before sailing; re placed the positions of the men wound ed in the bloody affray of last week with others from this port and expe rienced not the slightest difficulty in so doing, and thereby was able to take his vessel to sea without any trouble. Prospects for the sailors in the strike they have inaugurated are not of the brightest for the reason that princi pally the demands they have made are unpopular with the public, and unless a strike is backed by popular favor it has small chance of being successful. Along the water front the cause of the sailors is espoused in very few in stances, for the workers along the docks do not sympathize with the strikers to any great extent for the reason that the cause of the walkout or strike is looked upon as unreason able. Sailors on the coasting vessels, both steam and sailing, were making as high as 100 a month and more, which is greater than the salary commanded by the average mate, and scarcely any of the longshoremen could come within hailing distance of this figure. According to local persons familiar with water-front conditions it will be essentially necessary for the sailors to make some material concession in the very near future if they hope to pre serve their organization, for already dissension has cropped out and unless something is done they will be left without a union in a very short time. A crew of supposedly union men was yesterday secured to load the Orientals liner Korea at San Francisco for the Orient, which is looked upon as the be ginning of the end inmarine circles. The Korea has been tied up for sev eral weeks and the securing of a work ing crew to load the vessel is regard ed as the first sign of weakening on the part of the union. IjOcally the strike has not had any " great effect except for the delayed ar rival of several of the coasting fleet, but as most of these vessels are re ported to be on their way to this port the situation is not at all critical. The F. A. Kilburn and the Roanoke will shortly roach Portland from the south, and both are manned by nonunion crews. This fact may make it neces sary to demand police protection on the arrival of the vessels, but since the Jnhan Toulsen affair it is not believed that the sympathizers of the sailors will resort to nny more of the same tactics, for they lost too much ground, as far q popular favor Is concerned, in that affair. rive gnnss of stevedores went to the Pacific Mail dock thin afternoon and be gan to load the big liner Korea, which. it is announced, will Ball for the Orient on ednesday. This means that the Korea will not go out in ballast, con trary to the announcement of Friday nifht. The Pacific Mail officials explain that they have ".0 carloads of Eastern freight that they contracted to carry to the Orl ent and that this will be taken accord ing to the agreement. The Panama liner. San Jose, belonging to the same company, .will sail within the next few days, and she also is des tined to carry a cargo of Kastern freight, contracted for before the present labor troublp commenced. Botli of thene ships will be loaded by regular uniln Steve dore. the City Front Federation-offering no objection. ?0 CARRY PROVISIONS VNORTH Harold Dollar Chartered to Relieve Ice-Bound Fleet. SAN FRANCISCO. June 16. Provisions for the 350 men of the whaling fleet Ice bound in the Arctic all Winter are to be sent from here at the end of this month. The steamer Harold Dollar has been char tered by the various concerns Interested in the vessels to carry the stores. Some time ago the news was brought hat the men were well supplied with food, but about a month ago information came from the imprisoned whalers that the stock of food was alarmingly low. Board Surveys Schooner Stanford. ASTORIA, Or., June 16. Special.) This morning a survey was made of the dis abled barkentlne Jane L. Stanford by a board consisting' of P. I Cherry, of this city; Captain Crowe, - of Portland, and Captain Morrison, master of the schooner A. F. Coats. The survey was to deter mine the extent of the Injuries sustained by the barkentlne in the collision with an unknown steamer off the mouth of the river on last Tuesday night; and had no reference to the circumstances surround ing the accident. The board found that bowsprit, foremast, foretopmast, fore top gallantmast, main topmast, lower topsail yard, fore royal yard and skysail yard must be renewed: that the vessel's stem is badly damaged, but can be repaired. and much of the gear and a portion of the sails must be replaced. The damage sustained will not exceed &000, and all the repairs can be made here. Keel for New Steamer Laid. HOQUIAM, Wash., June 16. (Special.) to be built by the Matthews Shipbuilding Company was laid today, and the work of sawing out the frame will begin at once. This steamer will be for E. T. Kruse, of San Francisco, and when com pleted will cost J'0,000. She will not have passenger accommodation, and will carry 700,000 feet of lumber. SHOOTS TO WARN PICKETS CAPTAIN OF STEAM SCHOONER FIRES ON THE MEN. ATTEMPT TO LOAD STEAMERS Slatle Mills at Aberdeen Will Try With Two Vessels. ABERDEEN, Wa.sh.. June 16. An at tempt will be made by the West Slade Mill on Monday morning to load the steamers Centralla and Newburg. which have been lying here almost a week. There are lots of men anxious for work, but afraid of trouble with union sailors. Mayor Undstrom has agreed to provide all the protection possible in case of trou ble. Deputy Collector of Customs J. Dorn today fined P. Hansen $2o0 on account of the midnight attack upon the schooner Fearless in the lower harbor on the night of June 2. The launch which took the aimed party to the schooner was the Waterboy, owned by Hansen. The fine is for a violation of inland rules to prevent collision of vessels, sections 3 and 4, $00 being against the master and $200 against the owner, the boat having been navi satcd without lights between 11 and 12 o'clock at night. Strikers Endeavor to Intimidate the Crew of the Brunswick and Are Put to Flight by Skipper. SAN FRANCISCO. June 16. Captain Ellefson, of the steam schooner Bruns wick, fired seven shots last night at five union pickets who steamed out to his vessel to investigate his nonunion crew. The shots were fired as a warning to keep the pickets away from the Bruns wick and no one was hit: The launch used by the Sailors' Union went out at 11 o'clock last night to where the Brunswick lay at the foot of Stuart street. Andrew Keincr was in charge, and there were also a coxswain and three others on board. When they ap proached the Brunswick Captain Ellefson warned them away and fired with rifle when they paid no heed. The shots went wild and the union men withdrew This is the second time shots have been fired during the present trouble. Yesterday pickets went out to a steamer off Sausallto and when the officers of the vessel turned a hose on them they re piled by firing. As the days pass and the tie-up shipping along the waterfront continues the feeling increases among the striking sailors and locked-out stevedores that the lumbermen hold the key to the situation. The advance in the price of lumber is cited as one reason why the increase in wages demanded by the Sailors' Union should be granted. The seamen argu that the shipowners can well afford to grant their demands when they are reap ing a double harvest from increased freight rates and the raise in lumber prices. The rise in prices is generally attributed to the greater cost of logs. The increase in the price of logs is $1 for flooring. merchantable and No. 2 varieties. SCHOONER WAND IS ASHORE While on Her Way to Portland Ves sel Runs Aground. SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. The steam schooner Thomas Ia Wand is fast ashore at Bolinas, a point near the northern entrance of San Francisco harbor. The schooner Alpha went to her assistance and in the course of the efforts to pull the vessel off the shore, she als went aground. The tug Relief succeeded in pulling the Alpha off the beach, but all efforts to get the Wand off have failed. Both the Alpha and the Thomas L. Wand are owned by the Olsen & Ma honey Company, of this city. The Wand is a new vessel and is commanded by Captain William V. Olsen, and was on her way to Portland when she struck. The Thomas I Wand was pulled off the bar at high tide and arrived here tonight in tow. Her stern post and rudder are gone and there is about eight inches of water in her hold. MILLS CLOSED AT ABERDEEN Strike Causes Shutdown of Cray's Harbor Concerns. ABERDKKX, Wash., June 16. That the seamen's strike Is certain to result in great commercial loss to this city seems assured. Tonight two large mills were forced to close down and others are pre paring to do the same. Four mills are already seriously affected and other millmen say they are apt to become involved shortly. Gray's Harbor depends upon steam schoomvs to ship out her lumber product, aggregating by water approximately 20,000,000 feet monthly. Mill- Arrivals and Departures. ASTORIA. June 16.

MORE FUXDS FOR IRRIGATION Washington Allotted $700,000 Ad ditional Oregon to Get Increase. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 16: Representative jou-s today secured allotment of $700,000 ad ditional out of the reclamation iu for use on Government Irrigation works in Eastern Washington, $253, 000 going to the. Tieton'projeot to con struct a high line canal. This with the $1,000,00) heretofore allotted, will com plete this project. Heretofore $750,000 was allotted for the Sunnyside pro ject and Mr. Jones gets $350,0J0 addl- ional, which will permit the construc tion of permanent dams and neaa works, where only temporary struc tures were contemplated. The remaining $100,00) goes to irri gate lands of wnite settlers on tne Yakima reservation. These additional allotments are made possible by reason of the fact that public land receipts for the current year will exceed the depart ment's estimate by $3, 2o0, 000, which means that just this much more money is available for allotment in addition to the apportionments heretofore made. Senator Fulton today telegraphed D. C. Henny, district engineer at Port land, asking what amounts in addition to previous allotments can be imme diately used to advantage on Oregon irrigation projects. When Mr. H'enny's reply Is received. Senator Fulton will endeavor to secure a part of this $3,000,000 for Oregon, whose aggregate allotments are comparatively small to date.
