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.

McCraken, going down, went through

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.
