THE SUNDAY -OREGONIAN, -PORTLAND, AUGUST 7, 1910. HA Rill MAN LINE QUITS JAPANESE Western Pacific Agrees to Give Traffic to Oriental Company. BUSINESS NOT EXTENSIVE Pouthern rariilc Said to Hare Lost . S.0 to $300.00 Annually r Krrp American Flag on Pacifie Liners. CHICAGO. -A IJC- peciaLV-Wllllam H. Amr, assistant general manaer of the Toyo Klaen Kaliiha Oriental Kteam ahlp Comjunj. confirmed the report today that the Southern Pacific road and lil company had decided to part company. The traffic agreement that has existed between the rompanlra for many yeara a III terminate on January C. upon whl-h date the Japanese company will enter Into a traffic agreement with the West ern Pacific road. The contract between the Japanese company and the Southern Pclf!c earned a clauae which permitted either to withdraw from the contract up on givlnr six months- notice. Sucft a notice was given In New York on July X. Mr. Avery said: There la no ill feeling between our nmpany and tha Southern Pacific road. If we had not entered Into a contract with tha Western Pacific, the North Ger man Lloyd Steamship Company or some other fore ten company would have done x and that would not have been a good thlnar for us. The Southern Pai-lflc has Its own boats and we cannot, therefore. r-t all of Its traffic The Western Pa cific has no boats and we. therefore. get all of Its traffic and also keep a country foreign to Japan from getting a foothold on tha Pacific. Really, however, under present conditions. Oriental-traffic Is not worth fighting over. It costs the South em Pacific between Ono.WO and 1300.000 a year to keep the American flag afloat on the Pacific "So Ions; as tha Sues route Is takinat tonnage for ballast and If not for ballast at as low a rate as 18 a ton. there is not much chance for boats sailing from Pa cific ports." Mr. Avery said that he did not know what Inland proportions of the through rata would he made by the Western Pa rlflc. but he presumed It would make low rates in order to Induce a Urge movement of business through the port of San Francisco.

Yesterday was the seventh anniversary of Captain McLeod's taking command of the Princess May. He retired at mid night Thursday night without fear for the ship, for the westher wao fair and there was no wind. Half the width, of th ship was all the distance that would orve been needed to clear the reef. The steamship was moving 13 knots an hour, and skidded and then struck heavily and stopped.
