ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1921. NUMBER 61 Advocates a Belt Line The attractiveness of Port land as a port, whtch already brings joy to the heart of a Dutch akippor when ordered here, can bo Increased many fold by the institution of some system for tho concentration of cargo at a jingle torminal, thus obviating tho necessity for a Bteamer to move to several docks to obtain freight. This is tho substance of a statement mado to Mayor Baker by Captain W.J. van der Horst, master of the Dutch stoamur Simaloer, of the Java-Pacific lino. Following a recoption to tho mayor Saturday aboard tho Simaloer, Captain Van der Horst and his officers werotho guosta of tho mayor Sunday on a trip over tho Co lumbia river highway with din ner at tho Columbia Gorge ho tel. Though reluctant to make a statement which might be co.iBtrued as a complaint. Cap tain Van der Horst told tho mayor whom ho insisted upon aidressing as "Burgomaster," that tho profit earned by his vessel for carrying freight from Portland to Japan and the East Indies was a most onttrolv enn sinned by tho port coals incurred by the Bteamer in getting in froitflit. Vhorj tho Simaloer was berthed first, ho said, at the-Al- liina dock, alio loaded 500 tons of nour. 'A hen alio had to shift to tho Portland Flouring Mills Com pany's dock ta tako 700 tons of Hour. Sho moved Fridny to tho West Oregon Lumber Com pany's mill to tako 1,000,000 foot of lumber, and yesterday wont across tho river to Municipal Tor mlnal No. 4. She will load at two more docks boforo sho leaves Portland. When two boats aro used in moving tho vessel, as Uuptain Van der Horst consld era necessary for tho safety of tho vessel, tho cost of each move, with tho pilotago charge, amount to $185 without any al- 1 wancofor tho loss of timo en tailed. "Portland's chief advan tage ut present in attracting flipping, said tho captain, lies in tho quantity of curgo avail able hero. Tho Simaloer is tak ing only 2600 tona from San Francisco and about 8001) tona from Portland. At San Francisco, however, tho cost of Becuring this froight is much, lower, bo cbubo wo tako it all from pier 37.
