SATURDAY, XOTE3IBER 12, 1910. 13 SURVEYOFCRANKY STEAMEHORDEHED When Eir Refuses to Answer Helm, Captain Anchors and Sends for Underwriters., LOADING MEETS APPROVAL Experts Saj Tliat Wlirn .Wbr Arc Thrown Overboard and Fuel Is Consumed, Norwegian Vessel Will Rle lo Mark. Captain P. E. Marcussen, master of the Norwegian mr Kir. Is inclined to the opinion that there are reasons why a ship Is called "she" other than that the rlffsrlnjr costs more than the hull, that she has a waist, and that she haa stays, headgear, hose and "rats.1 because yesterday the Kir developed a dual demeanor that Is known in mari time lore as "tender" and "cranky." Tiiouffh the skipper asserts no mas terful knowledge of the eternal femi nine, he refused to proceed when the Kir evinced a pouting disposition. Af ter leaving the North Pacific mill aha was anchored off Claremnnt. Captain Albert Crowe, representing; the San Francisco underwriters, held a special survey. The Elr Is under charter to the American Trading Company and was cleared tor Australian ports lnursaay with a lumber cargo measuring- 2.9-3.- 000 feet. On the occasion of her last departure from here. In July, she car rled a larger cargo, and Captain Mar rnssen was confident a mistake had been made In checking; the liimber from the dock. But tha charterers were firm, and when tha vessel's business here was completed a letter was irlven the master by the American Trading Company saying that the vessel had failed to load the amount guaranteed and that the difference between her load and the amount that should have been forwarded must be paid by the vessel's owners. In the presence of the Tacoma agent of the charterers. Mr. Macquarrle. Cap tala Crowe surveyed the Kir at Clare mont and concluded that ahe was sea worthy and fully loaded. She had list to port, which he attributed to the fact that a large amount of ashes from frer furnace had been piled on that aide of the steamer to be dumped over the side when she left the Willamette. Kesldea. he later said, the Kir was be low her load line and he thinks that with the removal of the ashes and con sumption of coal on the run to Astorta aha will rise to the mark. A letter to that effect was given the master. The list to port waa not regarded as serious, but when the Kir. In rounding the lower end of Swan Island, displayed her "tender" feelings and did not an swer the helm as usual, thereby being lubbd "cranky." the skipper deemed It time to have the Insurance Interests apprised of the condition and learn of bis protest of tha loading. imiDGK PEEKS GKOW UAPIDLY Work on Ilarrlnian Structure Is Not Delayed by Kains. Rain proved no obstacle to the Union Hrldse A Construction Company In rushing work on the Harrlnun bridge, (or to the past ten days 3000 barrels of cement have been used on piers and abutments and the first setback waa experienced yesterday when the supply of material reached a low ebb. The breaking of a portion of tha cofferdam on the first pier, which oc curred last week, hum not retarded progress to a material extent and yes terday the big buckets of concrete were being lowered Into the v ells of the caisson as of yore. The Kast Side J-ler Is to be started shortly and a crew Is engaged at the site In blowing away hard formations on the riverbed. On the AVert Side tha first pier, which will be at the edge of Alaska dock. Is under way. A crew Is building up the cais son and It will be weighted and sunk Into place as fast as the walls grow. Fear of high water Is entertained by the bridge constructors, and to avoid delays the foundations In process of tmlldlng are being hurried so that they will be above the line at which high water and a stiff current would prove troublesome. o provide the most re liable information concerning the con dition of the I'pper Willamette, the of. Dclala have added to the Weather Bnreaa service a system of their own, through which men stationed at points as far south as Albany and Corvallls forward daily reports on the gauge readings, showing the stage and changes for it hours, while In emer gencies they are instructed to telegraph the data. By that means the bridge crews can prepare night or day for trouble. When the east pier Is started It Is proposed, with the sanction of the authorities, to construct a line of boom artlcks, reinforced by dolphins, which will begin at a point upstream on the east bank and extend toward the chan nel, so that drift will be carried past the caisson plant, instead of lodging beneath the dock and between scows. EXGIXEERS START XEff DOCK Profile Being Made for City of Stark-Street Site. Evidence that the City Engineer's de partment Is not to be outdone by other improvements In inaugurating prelim inary work in the Stark-street concrete quay was offered yesterday in the op erations of a surveying crew, which began running lines from the east line of FTOnt street to the river, covering the site to the harbor line. A profile Is to be made, showing the elevation of buildings on both sides of the slip and Including other data on which speci ricatior.s will be compiled In calling for fctds. At no point In the main harbor on the West Side haa there been so little activity shown In past years as In the vicinity of Stark street, yet today there Is one dock under way south of the slip, the Failing Interests and Reed In stitute are considering details of the construction of a modern concrete dock between Stark and Oak streets, prob ably to Include two decks and two Tloora above for storage purposes, and the city executives have authorised the construction of the Stark-street quay and appropriated 1 1 5.000 with which to begin the undertaking. In next year's budget will be Included mother appropriation of the same mount, deemed sufficient to complete the structure. STANFORD'S KEEL IS GOVE Hull "Swept" Yesterday and Great er Damage Is Found. Mora serious' 2ian a as at first estl- 1 mated Is the damage to the barkentlne Jane L. Stanford, lying at the St. Johns' drydock. for yesterday Captain Albert Crowe, on behalf of the under writers, examined her bottom, by means di tiw "'"i'" " " - side and hauled aft, and he reported mtl ner aei, piBVUtSJijr i u.u stern, is Injured and that In some plsces the keel Is gone to the planking. The condition of the rest of her hull csnnot be ascertained until she is plared on drydock. The work of dis charging the lumber loaded on Grays Harbor is being hurried so that she can be surveyed and repairs ordered with out needless loss of time. It is as sumed that her rudder la damaged and that she is badly strained, because n r t,. ..hi. i rm r rti A not be closed. Pilots on tlrays Harbor, know ing she struck the bar there while bound out Australia, did not regr-1 the damage as serious and it was not until she was out several hours that soundings In the well Indicated she was leaking badly. She took water so fast that the skipper put Into the Columbia and he may not leave until December. The lighthouse tender Manzanlta put to sea yesterday from Seattle and cn route to Astoria she will call at Grays Harbor and shift the outer Jetty buoy, so as to mark deeper water as a guard against similar mishaps.

Market on Hops Takes Upward Trend After Returns Come. Liquor shipments from the eastern brewing and distillery centers and bop shipments out of Portland have more than doubled since it became known that Oregon would be "wet" for feast two more years. All the railroads having connection vsith St. Louis, Milwaukee. Louisville and Cincinnati, four of the largest dis tributing points for beer and whisky in the country, report that heavy ship menu of spirit beverages are on the way to Oregon. Likewise those serv ing the breweries In the Northwest are moving more of this kind of freight now than during the few weeks previ ous to the election. The Chicago Northwestern and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul handle most of the Milwaukee beer that comes Into Portland. Local agents of both these roads report that orders for car load shipments were held subject to tha result of the election. As soon ai the returns showed that the "wet" vie tory had been clinched these orders were released. Many wholesale liquor dealers, aa well as the retailers, had allowed their stocks to run low during the campaign, thus putting the freight traffic far below the normal. After the election It became necessary to re pleniah the stock and the usual order was augmented by the demand to sup ply this loss. Dealer Send in Big Orders. In addition to this, railroad men fig ure a psychological result from the re turns. One freight agent said yesten day that the Joy attending the "wet victory Instilled many liquor dealers with a spirit of recklessness that caused them to order more than the usual amount. This probably accounta for some of the extra heavy orders. The Burlington, Illinois Central and Wabash are the principal roads having Portland offices that tap the brewing districts of St. Louis. Every one of these has from four to six carloads of beer on the way to Portland now. From Cincinnati and Louisville come the statements that large quantities of whisky have left those cities for Fort- land wholesale centers. It Is estimated that the shipments aggregate a car load. "We figure," said a freight agent yesterday, "that fully 20 carloads of beer will arrive in. Portland In the next week or 10 days from the Eastern and Northern brewing centers. This is far above the average and is In addition to the local supply. This liquor represents the decrease In stock and the supply that will be sufficient to replace their shelves and refrigerators with the usual quantity for future consumption." Hop Market Is Affected. Movement of hops over the roads leading out of Portland also was af fected by the uncertainty of the elec tion. While the price of hops advanced gradually during the campaign the lo cal market remained somewhat stag nant, farmers reporting difficulty in disposing of their stock. . It Is charged In dry quarters that the absence of a demand for the hops of Oregon growers during the campaign waa created by the "wet" Interests, who thus sought to influence the farm ers to vote against prohibitlin. Railway men say, however, that the demand for hops among Eastern brew ers is constantly increasing and that the result in Oregon would not have affected the market materially. Hops have started to move eastward now, and the several roads connecting Portland with Eastern consumers are rushed with freight orders. PORTLAND MEX OX FROGRA3IME Passenger.

Its infectious virus contaminates every corpuscle and tissue of the circulation, and for this reason its symptoms are of a varied nature. When it enters the blood it is but a short time until the mouth and throat begin to ulcerate, the skin becomes spotted, rashes and eruptions appear on the body, sores and ulcers break out, the hair falls, and fre quently nails on hands and feet thick en and come off. Mineral medicines which simply shut the poison up in the system should be avoided, for when such, treatment is left off the old dis ease will break out again, often worse than before. S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison permanently, and it does bo because it thoroughly purifies the blood. S. S.
