-6 TTTE SUNDAY OKEGONTAX. PORTLAND, JUTT 4, 1015. RIVER PARTIES MANY Steamboats Chartered for Numerous Excursions. RECORD YEAR PROBABLE Columbia River Is Attracting Un usually Large Number of Organi zations, Both of Portland and From Eastern Cities. Operators of steamboat lines on the Willamette and Columbia look for the largest excursion business this year eince 1905. and possibly it will equal the patronage of 1893 and 1900, thoutrh it may not prove as busy as in 1896 and 1897. which are said to have been banner years. There were more private excursions toy Portlanders and Oregonians in 1896 and 1897. while In 1899 and 1900 thou sands of Easterners headed for the Pacific Coast, as it was during that period that privately conducted excur sions by rail were moat popular. The came years different conventions drew epecial trains of railroad employes and all organizations arranged their itiner ary so as to include a trip on the river. In 1905, during the Lewis and Clarlc Fair, small parties were numerous, patronizing excursion steamers on regular runs as a rule and not char tering vessels as is now being done. July 11 the steamer Dalles City is to make a special trip from The Dalles to Portland with 250 Shriners on their way to California from the East. The same day the steamer Undine will carry members of the Oregon City Fire Department and their families to St. Helens and return. The firefighters will engage in baseball and other sports there. July 16 the steamer Georgiana is to carry 350 Shriners from Portland to a point on the Middle Columbia, prob ably Bonneville, where they will take autos for Portland via the Columbia Highway, while Shriners who make the run from Portland in the machines will there board the Georgiana for this city. July 17 delegates to the Portland Stamp convention will have the Un dine under charter for the entire day. July IS Webfoot Camp. Woodmen ol the World, has the Undine chartered for a trip to Multnomah Falls and re turn. The same day 50 school teachers from the East, returning from the Cali fornia Expositions, in an excursion party under the chaperonage of Thomas Cook & Sons, are to make a round trip on the steamer Bailey Gat xert. July 19 laundrymen of the city will have the Gatzert for an outing by moonlight. July 21 the steamer Undine will be taken over by members of the Sons of the American Revolution, the ob jective point not having been decid ed on. July -23 there will be a moonlight excursion on the Undine under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. There are many more trips talked of for August, in which vessels are to be chartered, while private parties are forming for the run to The Dalles and Astoria on the daylight steamers. FIGHTERS KNOWN HERE MASTERS ENGAGED IX EUROPEAN WAR ZOK ARE TRACED. Captain Shotton, Formerly oai Roserlc, la Skipper on Brfttm That la Transporting Stores. From time to time Portland folk in terested in maritime matters hear cf masters or mates of vessels known here who are engaged in the European war' rone, and the latest information bears principally on men who came here on Andrew Weir & Co.'s vessels. Captain Stanley Shotton. who was on the tramp Roseric. is now skipper of the British tanker Barneson, engaged in transporting war stores across the English Channel.' The ship is also known here, as she carried a cargo of creosote from. Europe to St. Helens about a year ago. Captain Harper, formerly on the steamer Boveric and chief mate on the Kumeric for a time, is commanding a mine-sweeper. Captain Loftus, who had the Americ, is now navigating one of Hadji Cassam's ships and plies be tween Bombay and South Africa. . Captain Cummings, who was chief officer on the Kumeric when she plied out of here regularly, has a berth as skipper of a mine-sweeper. Captain Mathie, who was master of the Luceric here, and who was "taken prisoner at Hamburpr at the outbreak of the war. when he was aboard -the new steamer Gifford loading cargo there, has ' reached England after varied experi ences in German prison camps. Ha was recently exchanged at Berlin. Captain David Baird, who was on the v. eir ships for a lengthy period, then marine superintendent for the line in the Orient, is living at Burnaby. near Vancouver, B.

The former session will be convened at 2 P. M. Thursday, July 22, and the Svenson hearing is set for 9 A. II. "Wednesday. July 14. In both cases the 'applications were filed with the War Department and re turned to Colonel McKinstry. who will hear arguments on the subject, but suggests that those desiring to have their views placed before the War. De partment in detail should file them in writing, three copies being fur nished.

GRAIN FREIGHTS STIFTEN Owners ot Tramps Reported to Be Askinjr 90 Shillings Again. One tramp steamer was offered yes terday for September-October loading at 90 shillings, and exporters aver that whatever weakness may hava been ehown in grain rreignts a weefc ago Tias disappeared, and It is no longer possible to charter tramps for September-October at 85 shillings, aa was re ported. It is said sailers are firmer, though not as difficult to obtain, as Eteam tonnage. The steamer Colon got away yester day with a cargo of oats amounting to 80,504 bushels that was valued at $39,000. which Is destined for Mel bourne, and she proceeds via Honolulu, being dispatched by M. H. Houser. The British bark Kllmallle. coming to load for the United Kingdom in the interest of Strauss & Co.. arrived in the harbor last night in tow of the steamer Game cock. Another to be here in a day or two la the British steamer Egyptian Transport, which is coming from San Diego. TANK FLEET WILL OPERATE Interstate Commerce Commission Lifts Ban Against Oil Carriers. That the Interstate. Commerce Com mission had rescinded an order en tered May 28, that the Associated Oil Company, as a subsidiary of the South, em Pacific, must cease operating its oil tankers from California oil porta to harbors in Oregon and Washing ton, was news received yesterday by A. D. Parker, Portland manager of the affairs of the oil corporation. Many took the stand that the Com mission's position was untenable con cerning the tank line, because cargoes were loaded at the outlet of pipelines from interior wells, the same as is done by other oil concerns, and that the product was placed on the market the same as the Associated competitors and that it had nothing in common with the Southern Pacific rail line. save that its stock was said to be HISTORIC WARSHIP BURNED ON BELLINGHAM BAY.

It was 6:30 o"clock when the steamer Lurline reached the city last nl;ht from Astoria, though she was due yesterday morninsr, and as soon as she could be discharged and reloaded she waa sent down stream again. There is a rush of freight along the river, and with the Lurline and O.-W. R. tt N. steamers on the run. all are handling more freight than usual. Passenser buslnese) is also at Its height, though the fact all Togging camps are not in operation has cur tailed the number of travelers some what as compared with past years.

HISTOR GSH1PBURNS Nipsic, of Farragut's Fleet, Is Destroyed for Junk. CIVIL WAR BATTLE FOUGHT t Spectacular Career of Old Frigate Brought to Inglorious End Off Bellingham After Service as Storage Plant. BELLINGHAJf, Wash, July . (Spe cial.) The touch .of a match and all that was left of the gallant old bat tleship Xlpstc. which helped make naval history for nearly 60 years, was consigned to flames this week on the "est shore of Lummi Island, across r 'Ulngham Bay from this place. The last word in construction in her day, only the bare bulk, blackened with, smoke, is left to speak of her career. Two incidents stand out above all the rest in the palmy days of the Nipsic. She was of Admiral I'arrsgut's fleet at Mobile and she was the only Amer ican vessel to come out whole In the great typhoon at Apia. Samoa, tn 1SI9. At the Battle of Mobile Bay she gave good account of herself. From that time until 1SS9 little of note came her way. In 1889 she was stationed at Panama. Soon afterwards orders came to go to Apia. Samoa, and It was there that one of the most heroic acts of seaman ship was recorded. The typhoon came up without warn ing. Several vessels were inside a coral reef and their captains saw the danger. Quick efforts were made to race outside. However, the wind struck and the vessels were soon ramming each other and a few minutes later all but three went on the reef. The Nlpslc lost her sails and, floundering about, collided mith the German boat Kber, sending that vessel to the bottom. Hassan Sail la Formed. The Nipnic rescued most of the crew and beat on against the storm. With every shred of sail gone. Midshipman Jackson Jumped to the mainmast and. calling to the crew, now numbering 540. to follow him, distributed them about on the masts, literally making a human sail. The man at the helm, with this assistance, was able to poke the nose of the Nipsic aright and she rode the waves to safety. The keel of the Aipslc waa laid at Bangor, Me. She went into commission as one of the best vessels of the day In the closing days of the Civil-War. She was ordered rebuilt in 1879 by Secretary of the Navy Kobinson. From 1888 to 1894 the Nipsic was used as a prison ship at New York Harbor. While there thousands of people trod her decks. From them silver dimes were collected and a massive bell weighing 10 pounds was cast from them. This bell and the twisted rudder, a relic of the Samoan typhoon, still are on dis play there. Vesae-1 Bctonn Storasre Pleat. When the naval station was estab lished at Bremerton. Wash., in 1894. the Nipsio waa ordered there, being towed around the Horn. For some time the men and officers lived aboard. Later land quarters were built and the Nipsic was transformed into a training ship. This was her last service for the Gov ernment. In 1912, at open auction, the Nipsic was sold to the Carlysle Packing Company for J7000. Tha company fit ter her up for a cold-storage plant for canned salmon and also used her as a barge for carrying cannery supplies. A year ago the Nipsic waa towed to Eagle Harbor. There riuch of her fit tings of brasa and copper were re moved and used to construct a private yacht. Still replete, with coper and fine oak. the canning company aeciaea to reduce the hull to ashes and Junk the metal. Accordingly. about six months ago. she was towed to the can nery plant on Lurnml Island and there beached. Last ednesday the lorcn was applied. It is estimated the salvage will bring about $15,000. Her original cost waa upward of 11.000.000. Thus is the history of one of Unci Sam's mirn. fiahters. Staunch to the last, her destruction will not be com plete until workmen with ax and ham mer tear asunder the shell of the hull and again apply the torch.

The channel being dredged has a width of 1UO0 feet, and the present rul ing depth of 3o feet covers the full area.

J CHINOOK HAKES GAINS SHIP CHANGE DENIED Attorneys for Line Say Flavel Will Remain Terminal. PROFIT IS SHOWN NOW Seattle Declared Not Logical Port for Great Northern and North ern Pacific Western Paclflo Slay Be Taken Over. "Absolutely without foundation." la tha comment of Judga C. H. Carey and James H. Kerr, attorneys for the North Rank Railroad, when confronted yes terday with the report from San Fran cisco that the steamers Great Northern and Northern Iaclne were to be oper NEW EQUIPMENT USED ON STEAMER TRAINS OPERATED BY NORTH BANK ROAD BETWEEN PORTLAND AND FLAVEL. 1 C-V , . . . , . - ' , t. f IM t.HlllH lie" h i tut. I'AHUIlt-LIBH.kHY-UUSbHV ATIU.N CARS. About half of the new steel cars ordered by the North Rank road hava been received and placed In service. The steel day coaches and parlor cars of the steamer trains operating; between Portland and Flavel In conjunction with tha California steamers are tha pattern of tha latest equipment used on all the biff trunk lines In the country. The roaches have numerous Improvements over the first steel coaches that were turned out. The parlor cars which hava been placed on these trains In addition to tha combination llbrary-parlor-observatlon cars are popular. They are a new typa in Coast service. They are equipped with easy chairs, a larsre smokmtr compartment and an anteroom near the entrance, and the lighting effects ara artistic. ated between fteattl and Fan Fran cisco instead of between Flavel and San Francisco. The San Francisco report attributed the statement that the northern ter minus was to be chansred to I C Gil man. president of the North Hank and of the tircat Northern Paclrtc Steamship Company, which owns and operates the steamers. Mr. Ullmtn Is passing; a brief vacation at his farm on I'uget Sound. The San Francisco tala could not fee brought to his attention. "1 am sure that Mr. Oilman would deny the report the Instant he heard It." was Judire Carey's assurance. It is pointed out that Mr. (Jllman has made repeated dentals of similar reports at various times within the last year or two. Chaaaje Never Cwnsldered. "I know positively that tha transfer of the terminal from Flavel to Seattle never haa been considered." said Judge Carey. "In fact, I don't think It ever has ueen talked of except when reports of this kind came, out. and then It waa for tho mere purpose of denying; them. "We are doing a nica business on the steamers now and they are beginning to pay. There- Is no economic reason for a chan (ro. Uut even If they were not paytnff there would be little pros pect for an Improvement by moving; to Seattle, as no rreater volume of busi ness would be available. "Then, there might ba a legal diffi culty In such a ciianue. The tlovern nicnt now la questioning; the legality of the ownership of thoxe vessels by the tireat Northern and Northern I'a cirlc railways, throuch the North Bank road, which they own. It Is our con tention that the steamers do not com pete with any of the parent railroads, but that they serve as an extension of service. It mlirht be more dllllcult to prove thla contention If the vessels were operated out of Seattle, for then they would run parallel tn the railroads between Seattle and Portland." YVratrra Partite May Be Take. The San Francisco report also ac credited tho threat Northern and North ern I'aclnc with Intention of acquiring the Western 1'aciftc Hallway, which re cently went Into the hands of a ra ce I v c r. This has been considered a losrlcal development of the lltll ambitions to reach California with a rail line for many years, and Is not considered an unreasonable turn In the affairs of the near future. It Is not improbable that the North. ern I'actflc and Great Northern will take over the Western Pacific If they can get it at a price that suits them. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule.
