'BUSY DAY AT THE MOUTH In Addition to Sailing Fleet for Lum ber, the Chinese Junk Whang-Ho and Three Steamers Arrive. Three Vessels Cross Out. TLEET THAT CROSSED BAR. Expansion, schooner.

For three hours yesterday morning the - Columbia River Bar presented a scene of activity that would give due credit to the greatest ports of the world. The de. layed lumber fleet arrived in a bunch and eight vessels sailed in over the bar between the hours ot 9 A. M. and noon. In addition to the sailing craft three steamers sailed and three arrived. The South Bay had in tow the Chinese junk Wang Ho. The total number of vessels crossing the Columbia River for yesterday was 15, a record-breaking business for any single Sunday and close enough to leave room tor question for any other day. During the past two months lumber business has fallen off to a large extent. In the beginning this was due to the mill workers' strike. A number of vessels u . STEAMER INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive.

The arrival of the fleet yesterday marks the reopening of the lumber business for this port. While charters are low and the demand for rough lumber is falling off, dressed ma terial and ties are In demand, and there will be plenty of business for the Coast wise fleet unless the strike of the street car men In the Bay City reaches such proportions that all work Is suspended. Of the sailing fleet, which arrived In yesterday, all came from San Pedro, with the exception of the William Olsen and the Makawell. A large percentage of the outward cargoes will be ties, and the car riers will clear for San Pedro or Redondo. The San Francisco lumber yards are re ceiving little and are heavily stocked. This has In a measure divided tha busi ness to Southern ports. During the month of April the Coast wise Tumber shipments dropped to 4,230, l0 feet. With the vessels in the river and those due to arrive within the next two weeks the Coastwise business for May will run close to 13 million feet. The arrival of the eight sailing craft yesterday will stimulate towboating, which has been quiet for several weeks. The steamer Ocklahoma has been in the tooneyard but will probably be called out today. NO GARBAGE IN THE RIVER Harbormaster Speler W ill Issue Or ders to Masters of Steam Vessels. Harbormaster Bpeier will today issue orders to masters of all steam vessels In the river against, the throwing of any and all refuse into the harbor of the Cltv of Portland. This applies to all river as well as ocean going vessels and Is directly in line with the regulations ot the United States Government. Garbage from the galleys of steam ves sels must hereafter be placed in barrels and kept on board until after the harbor limits are passed. The deposits of gar bage In the river is a matter that has caused considerable trouble in times past and the action of Captain Speler is sanc tioned by all shippers of this port and by people Interested In keeping the harbor clear. In the rules and regulations ot the Unit ed States there is a clause which prohibits the throwing of any refuse, except in a liquid form mto the navigable waters of the United States. The dumping of gar bage into the harbor Is also provided for by city ordinance and Captain Speler took the matter up after consultation with the heads of the city government, i Emily Reed Goes Ashore. ASTORIA, Or.. May 12. (Specials Eight sailing vessels, all coasters com ing for lumber cargoes, arrived in to day and nearly all sailed up to the city front with the strong northwest wind. While coming up the harbor the ship Emily Reed went ashore on the sands. A kedge anchor was placed in the channel opposite her and she will prob ably be hauled off at high water. Marine Notes.

M O t feet INSTALL BLOCK SIGNALS All Harriman Main Lines Will Be Protected by 1900. To Install automatic block signals on all the main lines of the Harriman system is the aim of "W. W. Slater, chief signal engineer for the Harriman lines. To make signal lights bloom along the railway lines where none shone before is his mission. He says that within the next two years all the main Western lines of the Harriman roads will be equipped with the auto matic block system, which neither for gets, misreads train orders nor sleeps at the switch. "By the close of December, 190S, said Mr. Slater, "we will have the sys- ttem from fortlaod to tireea iuvert from San Francisco to Ogden, and from San Francisco to El Paso, fully pro tected with automatic systems. We expect to equip 280 miles of track on the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. lines In Oregon during the year 1907. We are carrying on the work as rapid ly as possible. "Although automatic signals cost about $1000 a mile, we find they pay for themselves. It is money well invested. Mr. Harriman himself is strongly, in favor of thorouah protection by One best signal systems, and Mr. Krutt s'jhnltt Is also enthusiastic about it. These signals almost entirely do away with the liability of trainmen to make a mistake. It reduces the likelihood of wrecks to a minimum." Improve Mount Scott Line. The Portland Railway, Light & Power .Company is Improving the Jlount Scott railway by laying double tracks on all the curves, and placing the block system be tween Anabel and the Junction on Haw thorne avenue. At the curve between Powell Valley road and Anabel station work on the double track Is now in pro gress. The embankment between these two points was widened sufficiently to make room for the second track. Double tracks will be laid at Flrland and also at Tremont. where there are sharp curves. Double tracks at these curves wilt do awav with many delays and also make traveling more safe. These short stretches of double tracks mean the final double-tracking through to Lents. With nearly 15.000 people tribu tary to this single-track line, the cars are crowded at all times, especially morning and evening. Pullman Official Here. G. S. Fernald. of Chicago, assistant general solicitor for the Pullman Com pany, Is In Portland for a brief visit. Mr. Fernald was with the Northern Pa cific for a number of years and was tax commissioner for that system when h resigned 'to enter the Pullman Com pany's! service. Ken Mill at Montesano.
