THE SIOKATXG OREGQXIAN, TUESDAY, MAT 31, 1910. THREE BOUTS FOR NEWLINESECURED Bates & Chesebrough Now Ne gotiating for Fourth, An nounces Firm Member. MUCH FREIGHT IN SIGHT Promoter of New Portland-New York.. Line Does Not Deny His Company May War With Hawaiian-American Line. Three steamers, the Aztec, J. I Luckenbach and Lyra are available for the New . York-Portland line, and to othw craft are being negotiated for, aocordingr to A. S. Cheseb'r6ugh of the San Francisco firm of- Bates & Chese brough, who reached the city yester day to complete arrangements for the sailing of the Aztec. "Portland and its .tributary . country ; is undergoing a wonderful development, and we believe we are fully warranted in starting this . service,". . said Mr. Chesebrough. The fact that we have already fixed 3000 tons for the Aztec, which Will take cargo in New York and Philadelphia and sail from the latter port July -5, la one of the strongest indications that the business-is here."- Portland Better Than San Pedro. It was also brought' ' but ' by 'Sir. Chesebrough that it was- -Portland's deep channel to the sea as against a questionable depth of water at San Pedro, and the added objection in the way of a rail rate of about $2 a ton, that won the line for the Rose City. "One thing we have positively decid ed on and that Is the service . will be direct to this port, with no stops at San Francisco or elsewhere for work ing cargo," - said Mr. Chesebrough. "Portland will be on one end of the route, with New York and Philadel phia on the other. We have every rea son to believe there is a large field here for return cargoes to be made up of salmon, canned fruits.' lumber and such commodities. We are going to make a strong canvass to secure them for the New York run. Fair Tariffs Promised. ' "We do not base our tariffs on a percentage of the rail charges. The old adage of regulating- the cost of transportation by. levying ja.ll the traf fic will bear is not followed by us. We secure ships for a specific sum and estimate in addition the cost of -maintenance, insurance and such features, and establish our tariffs so that the business will net us a fair return on the investment. .We .term .it. a. fair tariff basis." The firm recently opened negotia tions to inaugurate, a service on the Pacific Coast in conjunction with the Panama rail line and guaranteed to de liver to it 60,000 tons of cargo an nually, but the" threat that the Pacific Mail interests would withdraw from the rout If the arrangement was made is said to have caused a. temporary de lay. "We have not given up the fight by any means," declared Mr. Chesebrough. "It is our plan to secure about four steam schooners which will be changed so as to have 'tween decks instead of the one big hold, and they will be placed in operation between Poptland and the Isthmus. We calculate that a ten-days service can be maintained easily, and no doubt the matter will be closed before long." -- Mr. Chesebrougii does not deny that his corporation is prepared to battle with the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company in the. matter of rates, and in all probability there will be con siderable cutting of tariffs. The Aztec Is scheduled to reach here on the first trip- October 1. niiiaiiiuiiiiiintiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiniiuiiiiinima THE teeth are injured more by neglect tnan from any other cause.

FERRETS JOIN SHIP'S CREW But Official Denies Seeking Port land Trade.- Almost simultaeously- with the an nouncement from the Bay City that the .Harriman steamship interests had com pletd negotiations for berths and steve doring for the steamers Bear, Beaver and Rope City, preparatory to inaugur ating the Portland-San Francisco-San Pedro schedule, is being circulated a ru mor that the Pacific Coast Steamship Company will make Portland a port of call for Its San Francisco-Seattle fleet. G. H. Hlgbee, general manager of the latter corporation, with headquarters at San Francisco, yesterday denied that such an arrangement was about to be put into effect, but from some source it was started at the Bay City last week and is being discussed in Harriman cir cles. Though the Pacific Coast Steamship tompfny has no direct line from Port land, the Htll rail lines have a traffic agreement with the North Pacific Steam ship Company, which has been in effect over 'eight months, through which cargo Is handled from San Pedro and way ports to this harbor and turned over to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern when destined to interior points. Under the same system the' Hill lines deliver to the North Pacific fleet freight from the Northwest territory billed for Coast points, and unless the business materially increases, there appears no reason why the Pacific Coast vessels should enter the Columbia. Much the same sort of a "gentlemen's agreement" that was in effect between the Hill and Harriman rail interests sev eral years ago, that held back the con struction of the North Eank and con tiguous lines, has been in force with reference to the ocean business, and so long as the Harriman craft plied be tween San Francisco and the Rose City! all was serene. When it- was mads known that the service was to be extend ed to San Pedro, then the Hill executives determined to seek some of Portland's trade. Animals Chase Rats on Roanoke to Prevent Loss to Cargo, r . Finding it impossible to drive rats from the vessels by fumigation and other means, the North Pacific Steamship Com pany Is experimenting with ferrets, two of which were placed aboard of the steamer Roanoke at San Francisco and made their first trip, arriving here Sun day. The animals will be closely watched to ascertain what success they have in di minishing the rodent family, and two additiional pair will be secured for use on the Geo. W. Elder and Santa Clara. Experiments on other craft indicate that rats have such a wholesome fear of fer rets, that, when cornered, they will leap overboard rather than fight. The company has suffered losses through damage claims of nearly $30 on one voyage . and as the destructive re sults were traced to rodents, it was found that a pair of ferrets could be secured for an amount equal to the claims on one trip. More Dock Room Wanted. . Limited dock space controlled by the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company Is in such -demand, partly be cause the lower docks are submerged, but largely owing to increased freight offerings, that efforts are being made to obtain additional room below the Burn-slde-strcet bridge.
