Although vacation time and the hot
leather kept many of the members
away, the Board of Trade held an en
thusiastic meeting last night, at which
the Portland-Alaska steamship line can
vass was the prinlcpal topic of discus
sion. Owing to the absence of President
Mash. Willis Fisher was elected chair
man and called the meeting to order
Bhortly after S o'clock last night.
The lengthy report of the committee
Uppolnted to .act on the steamship line
canvass was accepted by the meeting
and ordered filed and continued. As the
meeting was attended by only a few
members of the board, no definite action
was taken on the proposed canvass, but
Bfter some discussion Secretary Laber
was authorized to receive voluntary sub
scriptions from members until the of
ficial canvass Is commenced. The com
mittee was also given power to act on
behalf of the Board of Trade, and from
the great enthusiasm displayed by those
present It Is now evident that it Is sim
ply a matter of time until the Portland
Alaska steamship line becomes a reality.
The exact date of the canvass will be
decided upon at the next regular meet
ing of the boarfl, and the minor details
of the project will toe completed.
The report of the committee was as
tallows;
Report of Committee.
The special committee inaugurated by the
Roard of Trade of Portland has given very
careful consideration to the possibility of open
ing up and developing commercial relations
with Southwestern and Northwestern Alaska.
At this time no attention haa been paid to
trade with Southeastern Alaska through Skag
way and the White Horse Pass.
But it la firmly believed that the City of
Tortland should lose no time in opening close
relations with the Seward Peninsula.' Nome,
the neighboring regions and the mouth of the
Yukon River via St. Michaels.
Wonderful development Is in progress
throughout this region of untold wealth, and
the handling of both exports to and imports
from Nome offer every Inducement to our
merchants and shippers.
Nome Is the great distributing center for a
vaet district, and Its commerce has assumed
immense proportions, even under the disad
vantages still more apparent today than when
the Influx of population flrst responded to the
discovery of gold on the open beache.
Primitive methods are still uaed, all ships
having to be discharged and loaded by lighters
of 60 tons burden and exposed to all the
dangers and drawbacks attendant on the ac
cess to ships anchored two or three miles
from shore, and the loading or discharge of
the lightens from or on the open beach. Tull
details of these methods will be presented.
The committee would hesitate to advise the
endeavor to open trade exposed to such draw
backs and perils, and where the present ap
pliances are owned or controlled by opposing
interests.
The way out of these conditions Is apparent
in the opportunity now presented for a Port
land enterprise securing the ownership and
control of landing and loading facilities so
far ahead of anything now existing as to
make It certain that by Portland's making
an Investment of email amount In proportion
to the advantages to be gained, & permanent
and firm hold will be won on the Nome
tradp, while returning to the investors very
profitable results for every dollar expended.
The committee has given careful attention
both to the principles and the details of the
proposition submitted by Captain Chllcott, of
ea;tle and Nome, who controls and Is em
powered to act for the Nome Improvement
Company This Is a Washington corporation,
formed to acquire the franchise and carry out
the harbor improvement at Nome, provided
for in the river and harbor act of' 1905.
Under this act Snake River at Nome is to
be dreiiged out and converted Into a harbor
for voxels of light draft, with Jetties pro
tecting its mouth by extension into the ocean
for a distance of 4.0 feet from the existing
beach line.
Lighters Provided.
The corporation, besides controlling the har
bor and providing warehouse for receiving
and storing merchandise. Is to provide light
ers of 300 tons burden, of improved construc
tion, to be operated from and to the harbor.
By these means the actual time of unloading
and loading .vessels -lying in the roadstead
will be materially reduced, as also the ex
pense of thwe operations, and the handling
of both pafisengers and freight will he safely
carried on In weather which drives the exist
ing lightens of At) tons burden onto the beach,
and .forces the stoppage of all those opera
tions. The ownership of these facilities will be
yond question secure a handsome return on
all capital invested in the enterprise and se
cure a predominating position for the corpora
tion applying the same in controlling the
traffic.
' The Nome Improvement Company has a
capital of $600,000 in 3."M)0 common shares of
100 each, controlling the company, and 2?00
7 per cent preferred' shares having no voting
power. Of the 3W)0 shares, 1000 are owned
bv the original investors, who secured the
franchise from the United States, or their
transferees. Seven hundred more are owned
by Mr. Johnson, of Nome, who has, with his
friends, invested tTO.OOO in cash in the harbor
works, and has received for that investment
700 shares of preferred and 700 of com
mon stock. There remain, therefore, 1800
shares of common and 1800 of preferred
stock. The 1MO shares of common stock rep
resent a controlling interest in the corpora
tion. The proposition made by Captain Chilcott,
on behalf of the Nome Investment Company-,
is that Tortland interests should invest $180,
000 in tho purchase of the 1800 shares of
common and 1800 shares of preferred stock.
With this sum, the expenditure of which
Is to be governed by the controlling Interest
in the corporation, the following objects-are
to be attained.
Objects to Be Attained.
1. The completion of the harbor works in
compliance with the terms of the United States
franchise.
2. The construction of warehouses and other
buildings on a scale sufficient to handle ex
isting traffic and such as can be relied on
to take care of that resulting from these
facilities. Including coal sheds and bunkers.
3. The provision of lighters, each of 300
tons burden, and of a tug of power sufficient
to handle them.
4 The charter and operation for one or two
years of two large team schooners to be
ready for the season of 1007.
6. The purchase of one cargo of coal, where
with the trade under these new .conditions can
be opened.
6. A margin of capital sufficient to place
the new enterprise In running order.
Captain Chilcott hae presented detailed esti
mates to this committee showing minutely
the cost of all these operations. After ex
amining these carefully and studying the facts
in relation to the Nome Improvement Com
pany as shown by the legal documents fur
nished, the committee asked W. A. Grondahl,
the well-known engineer, to examine and re
port on the feasibility of the plans and the
safety of the estimates of cost. Mr. Gron
dahl's satisfactory opinion is copied below:
"To the Special Committee of the Portland
Board of Trade on the Proposed Portland
Alaska Steamship Line:
"Gentlemen I have given the plans and esti
mates laid before me by Captain Chilcott lor
the construction of harbor works at Nome.
Alaska, sufficient examination to Induce the
opinion that such plane are feasible for the
purposes Indicated, and that the estimates
are amply sufficient to cover the cost.
I am also of the opinion from the informa
tion given by Captain Chilcott that it is very
improbable that any serious obstruction in the
channel or at the mouth of the Jetties should
be formed as a consequence of the there
prevailing winds, which I understand to be
from the southeast and southwest.
"Very respectfully yours,
"W. A. GRONDABV
Best Solution of Problem.
The committee is therefore satisfied to pre
sent the whole matter to their fellow citizens
as a solution of the question how Portland
can best establish a shipping line with West
ern Alaska at the least cost and with the
best promise of safety and permanence.
The Investment in the Nome Improvement
Company is, in their opinion, very profitable
in immediate prospect, but its main induce
ment is that thereby Portland can enter into
commercial relations with Western Alaska
unfettered by present conditions of costly and
HnnirermiH hnnriline. 'and With the prestige.
so far as Nome and Its citizens are concerned.
of having relieved their commerce in advance
of restrictions which, unaided, they cannot
themselves remove.
The Portland-Alaska steamship line will thus
become an established and intrinsically profit
able and permanent enterprise.
The practical method of carrying these plans
into execution is suggested as follows:
Let there be incorporated in Portland the
Portland-Alaska Steamship Company with a
stock capital of shares of tlOO each,
with a .directorate chosen by the stockholders.
As soon as $180,000 has been subscribed
let it be devoted to the purchase of the 1800
shares common and 1800 shares preferred stock
In the Nome Investment Company, to be held
in the names of trustees chosen by the Port
land company. Thereupon let the Chilcott
plans be at once carried into effect, to the
end that the materials for harbor completion
and lighter construction may be shipped to
Nome before this season closes Chartering
steam schooners is, of course, essentially a
temporary measure.
But the success of the plans above sketched
during the year 1907 will open the way to
the ownership and operation of larger, more
costly and suitable steamships commensurate
with the growing trade which is confidently
predicted.

Tin Smelter Question Goes Over.
After the reports of the regular com
mittees were considered and accepted,
the discussion on the location of a tin
smelter in Oregon was postponed on
account of the absence of President
Nash, who was appointed by the board
to act as a special committee on the
subject. The board approved, however,
Mr. Nash's project, which provides for
the erection of the tin smelter in Port
land, which would draw on the tin ores
from Alaska. The New York capitalists
with whom President Nash has been
corresponding offered to furnish one-half
of the necessary funds toward the build
ing of the smelter, providing the other
half could be raised here.
The invitation from the Oregon Irri
gation Congress to send delegates to
their Annual State Congress to be held
at Hood Klver October 11 and 12, was
read and the president was authorized
to appoint delegates. Action was also
taken on the representation of the Port
land Board of Trade at the coming Na
tional Irrigation Congress to be held in
Boise, and the secretary was instructed
to ascertain who of the members would
go as delegates to the congress.
Tire monthly report of the secretary
was read and heartily approved by the
meeting. During July the Portland
Board of Trade sent out 31S3 pieces of
literature to people all over the United
States, and in the same time 1864 let
ters were sent out in answer to queries
as to the resources and possibilities of
the state. The financial condition was
found to be excellent, and Secretary
I,aber was warmly congratulated on his
good showing.
The following new members were
elected at last night's meeting: Good
rich & Goodrich, W. Hutchings. Sherman-Clay
Co., L. B. Smith. Bankers &
Lumbermen's Bank, A. M. Butler, A. B.
Keaton and W. S. Phelps.
Instead of meeting tonight, the legis
lative committee will meet tomorrow
at 4:30 P. M. in the rooms of the Board
of Trade, and it is expected that It will
take some action with reference to the
new Irrigation law to- be introduced In
the next Legislature.

CHANNEL TO SEA
United States Engineers to
Work on Sandbars.
COLUMBIA TO BE USED
Port of Portland Dredge Contracted
for by Government for Use in
lower Harbor Bar Dredg
ing Itself Out,
While the channel of the Columbia
River is occupying the attention of both
the Port of Portland Commission and
the United States Engineers, It Is also
of general Interest to the citizens of this
city.
Both the Government officials and the
city officials Intend to do their utmost to
further the work of expediting the Im
provement of the water highway to the
sea, and in the endeavor to do this it lias
been found necessary to secure tne serv
ices of the dredge Columbia on the part
of the Government officials.
This vessel was to have started work
on the channel in the Columbia below
Knapp's Crossing, yesterday, but owing
to a dispute arising between the United
States officials and the local commission
the big dredge did not leave yesterday,
as anticipated. The contentions of both
sides In the dispute will likely be settled
today, and the vessel will be taken down
to the scene of her future labors, which
are to be of great benefit to this port.
The Government has contracted for the
use of the dredge in disposing of the
sandbars that have accumulated along
the Columbia during the past year, and
when these are disposed of, the cry of
25 feet to the sea will have been accom
plished. Within a short time the United States
Engineers will make another survey of
the Columbia River Bar, with a view of
estimating the amount of washing out
that has occurred by the channel itself
since the last survey. In June. The bar
pilots have reported that the channel has
dredged Itself out for a considerable dis
tance, and this section extends to the
southward of the old channel for about
one mile, which is in accord with the re
port of the survey party which recently
took the measurements for the annual
Government map of the bar.
When this last survey was taken it
was stated that within a short time the
current would eventually create a greater
depth at the mouth of the river than was
accomplished by dredging. This is due
to natural circumstances, and will un
doubtedly come to pass, eventually, and
the Government officials expect to find
a greater portion of the work completed
by natural agencies when they make the
next survey, within a month or so, or,
to be exact, when they complete the
work that is now occupying their atten
tion. COLOMA REACHES PORT.
"Well-Known American Bark Comes
to Load Cargo of Lumber.
The well-know American bark Coloma,
which was formerly a frequent visitor
to the local harbor, arrived up from
Astoria yesterday and took a berth at
the Portland Lumber Mills. She comes
direct from the Gulf of California, and
will load lumber for San Francisco.
Captain Johnson reports a rough pas
sage up the coast, and shortly after
leaving the Mexican port a stow
away was discovered aboard the vessel.
He gave his name as Herman KHnt and
was accepted as one of the crew, and
shortly afterwards was given the berth
of second mate on the ship.
When the Coloma was a regular vis
itor at this port she was commanded by
Captain Cyrus Noyes, who was a part
owner in the vessel, and for many years
she plied between Portland and Asiatic
ports.
