PACIFIC BUSINESS IS BAD Many Oriental Shipments to New York Now Made by Way of Suez. Lee Hong Appointed as Orien i tal Agent Marine Notes. "The Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company will operate its. vessels directly between Portland and Oriental porta as soon as the homeward business will war rant It." said R. P. Schwerin. general manager of the Harriman steamship lines, last night. "I have done every thing within my power to throw freight via the Portland & Asiatic line to Port land and have never diverted a single pound that 'I could persuade to come this way. "Business conditions are vastly dif ferent than they were several years ago when ships came here direct, all loaded. A large part of the business now goes by Suez, and we will never be able to regain It. When our agent In Hong kong cabled me that no Portland freight was offered, but that he could secure 1500 tons for Honolulu and 500 tone of local San Francisco freight. I felt justi fied In accepting the business. That Is why I diverted the vessels of the Port land & Astatic Company from Portland. I would be more than willing to operate them direct If offerings made It pos sible. "Between Hongkong and Puget Sound ports there axe six lines of steamships operating, each with a sailing a month. Hongkong shippers will naturally send by the first steamship on receipt of an 1 order. I have appointed Lee Hong, of the Chinese Arm of Bow-Yuen A Co.. as Oriental agent of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company. He will reside In Pnrtiarid and will have charge of the Chinese business, with power to settle claims, etc. With hla aid I hope to secure much of the business now com ing via the Sound. "I have had Interviews with T. M. Stevans, one of the largest Importers in Portland, and have talked the matter over with several of the leading Chinese merchants, and hope to add materially to the homeward-bound business of our line. With 22.000-ton steamships coming eastward with only 1000 tons of cargo you can see the condition of business. The Interstate commerce ruling threw much of the overland business by way of the Suez. I am willing to do any possible thing to assist In putting the freight through Portland, but need the assistance of local Importers." Mr. Schwerin haa been In Portland for several days looking over the business situation. While not admitting that any thing other than a purpose to Investi gate the workings of the local office prompted his visit to Portland, he has been closeted with a number of Import ers whose business has been thrown to other lines since the diversion of the Portland & Astatic boats to Honolulu and San Francisco. He will leave this evening for San Francisco. CAPTAIN" PARSONS IS CHARGE .Formal Transfer of Papers of Alli ance Made at Custom-House. Captain B. W.

S. Forest, general superintendent of the North Bank r6ad. The visiting delegation presented as a grievance that the North Bank of ficials are giving the Great Northern train operatives the preference in employ ing men on the new road.

Thompson. COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.) At the annual meeting of the Comemrclal Club, H. O. Thompson was chosen president and F. H. Rosenburg secretary. Mr. Thompson has been a prominent resident here tor six years, and with his wife has taken an active part In public affairs. They also helped to orgamzo the Civic League. Mr. Thompson was formerly from Idaho, where he was prom lrent In the Republican party. He Is 41 years old. solid train service between St. Louis and the Pacific Northwest In 1909. "Plans are now being elaborated," eald Mr. Charlton, "to put on these trains. Through cars have been run over this route for five years, but the intention now Is to operate at least one through train dally, 'and probably two. "The run takes about 72 hours, the distance being approximately 15S0 miles. One through train probably will leave St. Louis in the morning for Portland, and another at night for Seattle, both via Billings. Mont. The new trains will go into commission. It la expected, when the new North Bank line is completed to Spokane, which will be In January. "The trade between St. Louis and that section of Che country and Port land and the Pacific Northwest is rap idly assuming great proportions. There Is no nuestlon but that the new freight and passenger service from St. Louis to the North Pacific Coast, affording such vastly Fine Italian Hand of Ferdinand Reed Appears in Latest Scheme in Governor's Behalf . An effort Is being made by the Statement-Chamberlain forces to line up the members of the Republican County Central Committee in the Interest of the election of Oregon's Democratic Gov ernor to the ;'enatorshlp. The pro gramme contemplates that the precinct committeemen saall stand together and use thtir Influence to have eveYy State ment member from this county respond to his pre-electicn pledge and vote for Chamberlain for Senator. Th3 details of this work are being looked after by Ferdinand E. Reed, he of Devlin campaign fame. Reed for several days ha3 been endeavoring to arrange for a general meeting of the members of the County Central Com mittee so that s.ime definite expression may be obtained from its members. Thursday night several of the precinct committeemen KOt. together and decided to do what they could to bolster up the Statement men and Insist on their vot ing for Chambeilain for Senator when the, Legislature convenes. Just what action the County Central Committee will take, if any, as a unit, has not been determined. This is said to be due tj the fact that it has been Impos sible cither to assemble all of the mem bers ill a meeting, or to learn the atti tude of each Individual member. The reported action of Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, in sending a letter to Senator Bourne vouching as to the Republicanism of John C. Young. Postmaster-elect, has served further to disrup that organization. It was learned yesterday that 11 of the 15 members of the executive committee of the County Central Committee had de cided to join vigorously in protesting against the action of Major Kennedy, as chairman. By them It Is insisted that the letter written by Kennedy and vouching for Young's Republicanism, may be con strued as an Indorsement of the Postmaster-elect by the county organiza tion. It Is to avoid having such a con struction placed on the attitude of the Republican organization of this county that a majority of the members of the executive committee have rosolved to put themselves on record by disclaim ing any responsibility for the Kennedy letter.

SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT NARROWS Only Bean, Statement, and McAr thur, Anti-Statement, Remain. For the Speakership the fight has nar rowed down to a contest between Bean of Lane, supported by the organized Statement members, and McArthur. sup ported by anti-Statement men and also numerous members of the Statement side, both designating themselves strict ly Republican, in contrast with their op ponents who are trying to join with the Democrats to control the House. While McCue. of Clatsop, is still an aspirant for Speaker, his following is too small to do him any good, and as he logically belongs In the caucus, it H probable that he will' join the McArthur column. Caucus will eliminate Patton. of Marion, since he has been fighting that method of organization. As the State ment men have themselves eliminated Campbell, of Clackamas, he is no longer Improved facilities, will I an active force for the Speakership, a!- COOS BAY EXPORTS HEAVY Smith Lumber Company Busy Load ing Eight Steam Schooners.

Or., Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) The committee having In charge the securing of subscriptions to the fund for sending Coos Bay representatives to Washington and Salem has secured near ly enough funds.

The policy of the Northern Pacific will be to foster and build up the mutual Interests of the two sections of the country. "There will be unusual tourist at tractions in the Pacific Northwest dur ing the coming Summer. In addition to the Alaska -Yukon-Pacific Exposi tion, there will be the Rose Festival at Portland. On this account there should be a heavy patronage of the new trains, but the service Is not to be temporary. It Is expected." Mr. Chaion was asked if his company would not also shortly operate through trains via St. Paul between Chicago and Portland, but he would neither confirm nor deny this report. He said he was not prepared to announce any such service as yet. Eastern papers rhow that President Elliot:, of the Northern Pacific, is doing a great deal to advertise the coming Rose Festival. On a recent trip through the Middle West he lost no opportu nity to boom the show next June. He has taken a very great Interest in the festival and Is doing everything pos sible to make It a success. though with him are allied his Clackamas colleagues, making slderable Influence. two con- CnOfll) LEAVES FOR SPOKANE Four Special . Sleepers Carry Port !andersto Apple Fair. Four special sleepers left the city last night at 5:25 over the North Bank Road for Spokane, carrying passengers to at tend the National Apple Show there. To day Is Portland day at the fair and the Portland party, which is made up of local railroad and business men, will reach Spokane this morning. The return will ba made by daylight Sunday, arriving here Sunday night. The naw ' equipment of the North Bank Road was used for the excursion esnd the train was almost palatial in Its appointments. This Is the first excursion to be run over the North Bank Road. . A. D. Charlton, assistant general passen ger agent or the Northern Pacific; F. H. Fogarty. assistant general freight agent of the same line, and R. H. Jenkins, as sistant general freight and passenger agent for the new North Bank line, are among the railroad men to make the trip. Statement Forces Losing Ground. Statement forces in the Legislature have been lo'sing ground fast in the fight for organization of that body. First they were worsted in their elTort to or ganize the Multnomah delegation of leg lslators and Senator J.' B. Coffey wrested the chairmanship away from them. Next they were unable to keep In their camp all the Statement men In this and other counties. Then they were unsuccessful in defeating the Bowerman plan of Re publican caucus in the Senate. And from the looks of things they will be unsuccessful In blocking the McArthur plan of Republican caucus in the House. Anti-Statement men and their Statement associates in this county say that a ma jority of the Republican members of the House will have signed the caucus call within a few days. The City Executive Board' yesterday afternoon adopted the report of the street comml'tee. recommending the awarding of the contract for the bitu lithic pavement on Belmont street, be tween East Fortieth and East Sixty seventh streets. The' contract was let to the Pacific Bridge Company, the price being JS6.W0. This was done over the strenuous objection of the street railway company. What action the corporation officials will take is unknown; but it is said they contemplate injunction proceed ings, or at least some suit at law to test the legality of the proceedings, particu larly as to the power of the City Council and the Exacutive Board to force the laying of Belgian blocks between the tracks. Vice-President F. I. Fuller was pres ent to represent the company, -and en tered emphatic objection to being forced to lay Belgian blocks the entire dis tance between the car tracks. Two weeks ago he appeared and sought a delay, his wish being to lay the matter before the Council with a view to securing a change of the specifications for matt-rial to be used between the tracks. He presented the casa to the Council on Wednesday, and the Council voted to grant his peti tion; but on the following day. the Coun cil being In adjourned session, the re pealing ordinance passed, but the emer gency clause did not carry, as Councilman Kellaher voted against' it. Under the present ruling of City Attorney Kava naugh, an emergency ordinance must have have 12 affirmative votes, and must be signed by the Mayor. Thursday morning Mayor Lane de clared the ordinance did not pass, but City Attorney Kavanaugh ruled yester day that It did pass, but that the emerg ency clause did not carry with it. This makes It, under the Supreme Court de cision of recent date, an ordinance which does not become effective until the ex piration of 30 days, during which time the referendum may be applied. There fore, the contract was let, and It is quite certain that Mayor Lane will veto the repealing ordinance, which will make a clear way for the carrying out of the contract. There has been a great clamor for the warding of the contract, and a letter from the United East Side Push Clubs was read, asking that favorable action be taken by the Board. The citizens along the street are very anxious to have the work proceed! 600 10 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Ladd Estate Company to Edwin Cas well and J. Raymond Robers, lots 7, 8, block 21.
