20 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 13, 1921 GRAFT MAKE DASH TO SAVE CHARTERS Pengreep, Siam and Hermion Racing Against Time. VISIT TO PORTLAND OF AMERICAN-HAWAIIAN STEAMER TEXAN RECALLS HER DAYS OF . SERVICE AS A TROOP SHIP. CANCELLING DATES NEAR Failure of Carriers to Make Ports I'nder Contract Terms Might Cause Crash of Rates. Somewhere between San Diego. Cal.. 1 and San Francisco the British steamer! t'ensreep is bending every effort to I reach Portland in time to save her J charter, which expires at noon next) Sunday. Somewhere between San Francisco I find Vancouver, B. C., the Norwegian motorship Siam, with lining mate-1 r:als and a crew of liners aboard, is striving to reach the Canadian port before her charter expires Tuesday. Somewhere between Balboa and the I Columbia river just where cannot be determined, because she carries no wireless is the Norwegian steamer Hermion, steaming steadily for Port land, although her charter expired Thursday. Never before in the history of Pa cific coast shipping has such a flock of steamships raced with time against I cancelling dates. Sailing vessels In years past have many times been so long delayed by head winds and rough weather that they have arrived here too late to make their charters, but the British steamer D. A. D. G. 76, which arrived here last November, after having trouble with her machin ery all the way from England, was the first steamship to miss her char ter in recent ears. Llnern Will Be Ready. H. F. Kellogg, manager of Frank TVooIscy c Co., representing Dowdell A: Co., Limited, who in turn represent the owners of the British steamer I'ingreep, is taking no chances with iiis vessel in the face of the recent break in the charter market. Cap tain J. 11. ftoberts, to whom has been awarded the contract" for lining the! Pengreep for wheat loading, yester day was instructed to meet the vessel at Astoria with a crew of liners and a. supply of lumber and burlap, In or der that no avoidable delay may re- I tard her. A radio message from Captain Binkford, master of the Pengreep, to ilr. Kellogg stated that he expected to reach the Columbia river lightship at a A. February 16 if the present favorable weather continued. A sud den storm might arise, however, or she might burst a steam pipe, or she might be delayed in the river by fog. oo the liners will meet her at Astoria. Whether the charter of the steamer Hermion will be renewed or not has not been stated by Kerr, Gifford & Co. If the motorshlp Siam succeeds in making Vancouver in time to save her charter she will load 4000 - tons of wheat there for Kerr, Gifford & Co., and will then come to Portland I to complete her cargo. Grain Charter Market Inert. Officials of the Northern Grain & Warehouse company, charterers of the Pengreep, are confident that this ves sel will reach Portland in plenty of time to retain her charter, and the Pacmc Grain company says that the motorship Theodore Roosevelt, now en route from Honolulu to Tacoma with a part cargo of nitrates from the west coast of South America, has pienty ot time. In the meantime the grain charter! market locally is absolutely inert.; awaitine the outcome of th vsrimn races against time. If a fleet of dis-I tressed tonnage Is to be unloaded upon the market here rates will go ledding again, and operators are waiting to see whether or not bar gains in wheat carriers will be v oircring. -o new charters have been reported ior several weetcs.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 12. Ship building activity at Hog Island, the world's largest shipyard, has ceased. With the delivery of the steamship Aisne to the army transport service after the vessel's trial trips during the latter part of January, not a ship remains to be completed at the great plant. Hog Island, during the throe years of Its existence, has been one of the chief factors in placing America in the front ranks of maritime powers. Created as a war-time emergency, more than 36.000 men and women were employed there at the peak of Its operations. The first keel was laid February 12. 191S. and since then 122 vessels, of a total of 956.730 deadweight tons, more than one-tenth of the shipping board emergency fleet corporation's tonnage ot contract steel ships built at all the shipyards in the United States, have been turned out. The production record of the Hog Island yards reached its height in the one-year period from April 18, 1919, to April 17. 1920. when 79 ships were launched and 74 delivered, an av erage of one ship . launched every 2!( working hours and one delivered every JO working hours. The cargo-carrying records of Hog fland vessels inc.i de the carrying of 3.613.694 long tons of American products to all important ports of tne world. To do this the Hog island ships have steamed 3.775,435 nautical miles, equivalent to 157 trips around the world. It is declared that they have functioned perfectly on all voy ages. During the course of their travels over the seven seas, these vessels have engaged in 19 rescues of craft disabled in heavy storms; the lives of "02 members of disabled crafts' crews have been saved and ships worth $18, 000,000 have been brought safely Into port by the steamers from Hog island. Big Freighter Due Soon. a big 16-knot freighter of the Luck enbach intercoastal service, will call here the latter part of next week, ac cording to the General Steamship cor poration, agents ror the Luckenbach line. The Walter A. Luckenbach is the present holder of the coast-to-coast speed record. Shr recently beat the record of the Julia Luckenbach of the same line by steaming from New York to Los Angeles in 15 days and 11 hours, elapsed time, and an actual steaming time of 14 days and 23 hours. She will discharge and load small shipments of freight here. . 5 wm mm i i 0SS-SS1 ; - m , I M V : : rs : vmwwY , r taw-- -ly ' ti: J li-i ?

The hulls of the Oregon Pine and Oregon Fir were constructed by the Peninsula Shipbuilding company for the emergency fleet corporation, and sold by the latter to Grant Smith & Company. . The fact that hulls de signed as steamers, of ,which eight had been placed in commission un der the shipping board banner, have been developed into sailers of such speed and handling qualities, has surprised even some of the old salts. The film at the Orpheum affords an excellent opportunity for a study of the lines cf the vessels, as they appear on drydock as well as at sea, in the latter case having full cargoes of lumber aboard. .

In order that Portlanders may ob tain a "close up" of the ships, which are being managed by Grant Smith & Company with 100 other Portland ers associated as stockholders, Frank J. JlcGettigan, manager ot tne ur pheum theater has arranged to ex hibit a film of the vessels, starting tonight and continuing during the Orpheum show this week. The film deals with the fitting out of the vessels at Portland and their departure for the antipodes. W. A. Van Scoy took the pictures, and they show many details of the work as well as views at sea. as the big car riers, laden with lumber, got away from the Columbia river for Aus tralia. Captain A. A. Sawyer master of the Egeria, and Chief Officer Wendt, have informed Frank S. Baillie. man ager of Grant Smith & Company, that Australians familiar with maritime matters found in the Oregon Pine and Oregon Fir surprises in the man ner in which they were rigged and their carrying capacity, and, when informed of the severe weather the big schooners passed through, ex pressed wonder at their behavior. The confidence of Portlanders In investing in home-owned vessels is declared to have .impressed Aus-, 43 in Crew. The new tank steamer Swiftarrow, of the Swiftsure Oil Transport com pany, went downstream at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon for San Fran cisco, where she will take a supply of fuel to carry her to the Panama cai'al.

Their wages aggregate $6,000,000. t URING the calendar year 1920 gh lumber was shipped out of the Columbia river, both offshore and coastwise, to build a board walk four feet wide entirely around the earth, according to figures compiled by the trade and commerce depart ment of the Chamber of Commerce A total of 553.000,000 board feet of lumber, according to the Chamber's figures, was carried from the river by water during the year. This amount would be equivalent to a single board one inch thick, one foot wide and 104.735 miles in length. If this board were sawed Into four-foot lengths and these lengths laid side by side the resulting board walk would extend for about 26,184 miles. So, after the walK had been laid entirely around the world, there would be enough material left to build a four-foot sidewalk from Portland to Los An geles. In other worCs. the lumber shipped rrom tne Columbia river during 1920 including -Portland, Astoria and all intermediate points, amounted to something over 10,000,000 feet a week, or a little more than 1,500,000 feet a day. .Marine Xoles.
