GAME AROUSES INTEREST.
Local Sports Calculating Chances
of Victory for Contesting Teams.
Considerable interest is being mani
fested locally In the coming struggle
on the gridiron between the two great
educational institutions of the state,
which takes place on Kincaid Field, at
Eugene, next Saturday, between the
University of Oregon and the Oregon
Agricultural College elevens.
Opinion is about evenly divided as to
the chances of victory, many of the
local enthusiasts favoring Eugene,
while an equnl number think the
"Farmers" will come out victorious
Judging from the reports emanating
from the strongholds of the contesting
teams, the contest will prove a memor
able one In "the history of football in
the state, and many persons anticipate
as close a score as marked the meet
ing of these two clubs last year, when
Oregon won out by the narrowest of
margins.
The best authorities in this city fig
ure that Coach Steckle has the strong
er team at Corvallls, but those who
favor Eugene think that any superior
ity that the "Farmers" possess will be
offset by the state pride that is so
prevalent at the home of the state in
stitution, where the game is to be
played.
Coach Shorts undoubtedly has a
strong team at the University of Ore
gon, but according to several experts,
the Corvallls contingent should prove
the better club, while at the same time
they argue that the best clubs do not
always win at football, for local pride
and determination sometimes o-er-come
the advantage another club may
possess, especially if the stronger ag
gregation is meetlnir an ODDonent on
the latter's ground, as is the case with
I Corvallls.
At any rate, it will be a great came.
and many persons have signified their
intention of goinsr to Eue-ene .satnrdv
to witness the battle of the giants.

to improve matters. AVe UrinV. tee, that the
trade wilt eventually be carried In steamers
far bigger than the lmaura. though prob
ably not so large as thoee enormous railway
boats which at present are la advance ef

The gist ef them remarks Is. te put It
shortly, either yeur bar want dredging or
your plkHls want shifting (call It promoting,
if you like), possibly some ef both.
It may Infrest yeur harbor board te know
that It was the trouble we had with the

a loaded draft of "tl feet C Inehcn.
AVe are much obliged te you for your ear
In looking after the Imeum In our Interest,

could have, wished. Yours faithfully.
EDWARD BATES & SONS.
That the obstructions to Portland's for
olgn commerce, consisting of the "sys
tem" prevailing at the mouth of the rtver.
Is not only known locally, but abroad as
well. Is evidenced by the foregoing letter.
Edward Bates & Sons, of Liverpool, are
the owners of eight steamers, of which
the Idar. 2505 tons, and the Imaum. 2705
tons, and sister ships, are the smallest.
Among the remaining vessels owned by
them are the Iran. 40S6 tons; Istrar. 2975
tons, and Imanl, 2379 tons. As indicated
In the letter, the firm realizes the Import
ance of the Pacific trade, and as an ex
periment sent the Imaum to Portland.
While loading here for the Orient, th
captain of the Imaum. out of an abund
ance of caution, wrote to the bar pilots
asking us to what depth he could safely
load. The bar pilots, whether through a
fear of having to take out a big ship'or
through Ignorance of conditions, replied
with the recommendation that the vessel
should not be loaded beyond SA feet. In
spite of this recommendation, the Imaum
was loaded to 25 feet, 7 Inches, and passed
safely over the bar on October 13. Not
withstanding this practical' demonstration
of the unreliability of the pilots advice,
their unwarranted views have necessarily
gone abroad, and have resulted not only
detrimental to themselves, but have glvon
an absolutely false Impression of tills har
bor's capabilities.
When It is seen abroad that the pilots
need "shifting,' it Is only a substantiation
of the feeling which has existed amnm-
local shipping men for some time, and !
brings out stronger than ever the fact
that one of Portland's 'river necessities Is
the introduction of new blood In the bar
pilot system..
