The launching of the steam rhnonrr A. M. Simpson at the Kruse A IVanka shipyard at North I!a-nd waa an event of particular local Interest for Several reason. The Tesael la the largest steamer ever built on Coos Bar. It Is named for Captain A. M. Simpson, the pioneer lumberman and head of the Simpson Lumber Company, and waa christened by Marian laabolle Margenn. the daurhter of Captain llararna. of the iOikt Breakwater, who for years probably has been the most widely known mariner making this port, and himself a pioneer In tbe marine Inter ests of Coos Bay. Vemaefa Capacity Is Urge. The A. M. Simpeon Is 200 feet Ionic with 41-foot beam and 134-foot depth. Fhe will carry about S30.000 feet of lumber and will be one of the fastest and best lumber carriers on the Coast. the will be used by the Simpson Lum ber Company In carrying lumber from the North Brd mills and will be the flnsnhlp of the Simpson fleet. In the construction of the vessel the builder used about aoo.000 foel of lumber, nearly the carrying capacity. There was usd SO tons of bolts. 30 kea-s of spikes and 11.000 trenails. The vessel will be an oil burner and will have 750 horsepower. Besides accommodations for the crew she will have two state rooms for the owners. The master will be Captain Bendersard. formerly of the ISendondo and now master of the tug Columbia, who Is one of the oldest employes of the Simpson com pany. Captain A. M. Simpson, for whom the vessel Is named, probably has a larger acquaintance than any lumberman on the Coast. He resides In San Francis co, where he Is prominent In the lum ber business, and for years has oper ated on Cooa Bay. His first mill here he built about 170 and ever since, through his company, he has been one of the leaders of this section In the lumber Industry. faptala Write la Vene. Captain Macgenn. whose daughter christened the boat, is a poet of con siderable fame among his friends and on the occasion of the launching ha wrote a poem dedicated to the vessel, and his daughter added a versa of ber own composition. Captain Macgenn'a poem follows: W are rather.! here from far and wide T this fri!itT touch the ld; Arl hin ab hits the ocean spray And proudlv danevs on th bay u"il e-ie three chera fr Kruae and Banks, Two butl1r of lhi f.tr.mot ranks.

XEIIAUKM IIAIinOR IMPROVED With $30,000 Spent In Work Ft f cot Already Is Noticeable. With less than fsn.noo spent on th Improvement of the Nehalem River bar, positive results have already been obtained, with the full assurance that a continuance of th work will accom plish what waa desired. Those com mercially Interested In the vicinity of Nehalem subscribe! the 150.000 to hava the tortuous and uncertain channel straightened and dc pried by the building of a Jetty. This undertaking was not looked upon favorably by shipping men gen erally, who considered It a waste of money and attempting an impossible task because of th peculiar condl t'ons there. Captain Rorvlk. master of th steamer Geo. It. Vonbursr. has been running there regularity several years and Is now In 1'ortland with bis steamer Mia until the Winter storms in over. In leaving there last week, he said, he crossed out by the old tbannel that had II feet at high water. He noticed that a new channel was breaking out. a half a mile north, along the Jetty and It appeared to b scour ing out fast. Sine then, he said, he had heard that this new channel had become the principal one, but no op portunity had offered to have It sounded. A few weeks more work will complete the expenditure of the money In hand, but now that the Jetty, as far as built, has proven successful, there will be no trouble In raising a further amount.

NOTARY Captain Jones (ilvrs) Side In Libel Salt Against Craft. In the libel suit of the McCabe Com pany against th Cambrian Chieftain, her master. Captain Griffiths Jones, was permitted, by agreement of coun sel, to give his testimony before a notary public Saturday and It will have the same effect as a deposition tn the trial of the case on Its merits It Is announced that th masters of th other foreign grain vessels In port also will refuse to pay more than It cents a ton for stevedoring charges undT advices from their owners. Back of this refusal to pay the regular and agreed charges Is said to be the Bil borough Club. of Liverpool; Clyde Ship-owners' Club, of Glasgow, and the Aberdeen Ship-Owners" Club, of Aber deen, which represent a large part of the British. German and French sail ing vessels. To meet current expenses of this and prospective suits these clubs have sent to W. C Bristol $2500 and have made arrangements with a surety company to furnish necessary bonds when the vessels are libelled. At the time the rate of SO cents aVAJi fnr atevednrlns? srraln It was fully understood and agreed to by the foreign shipowners ana was consid ered very favorable by them, sxa It waa less than the rates at San Francisco.

ACTION IS VITAL TO CITY Inspecting Harbor Engineers Decide That Later! Wharves, Parallel ing River, Are Best Suited to Situation In Portland. In th opinion of the board of har bor engineer engaged by the Commis sion of Public Docks to report on the public docka situation in Portland, the wbarvea proposed must Inevitably be lateral and parallel th river, to fa cilitate freight handling; and transship ment. A general Impression haa been cur rent that th proposed work would necessitate the construction of slips running: into the river, alongside of which Ships would lie, but this would be against th Interests of tho port, assert member of the board. Much of yesterday was passed In a water tour of th riverfront, special attention being paid to the East Side. The harbor partol Elldor waa called Into service. At a meeting of the Job ber and shippers this afternoon at th Chamber of Commerce, member of the board will deliver addresses and ask for the view of the Portland men. Oppealtloa Hot Serious. "Despite the fact that In Portland a large part of the water frontage Is owned by the railroads, there Is no reason to anticipate trouble from this," commented W. J. Barney. Second Dep uty Commissioner of the New York Department of Docks and Wharves. "We faced th same situation in New Tork but when the railroads found we Intended to go ahead they all climbed on the band wagon. I am inclined to believe th same condition will be noted hers. The tendency of th rail roads I to oppose public dock con struction, yet it ha been shown in variably that following their construc tion, freight shipment by railroad In creases. "Naturally, railroad opposition here Is due to the fact that th rail lines want the long haul across the conti nent. It must be admitted, however, that with the opening of the Panama Canal there will be a tremendous amount of water-haul business. Now, the point I want to make is this: Is Portland or Seattle to have this busi ness? "We have seen In New York how with the earlier development of that port, water shipments gravitated there, and now other ports, despite great development, are finding how hard it Is to disturb established custom. Buslaesa Kntare at Stake. "It you are not prepared In Port land when the Panama Canal Is opened then the business for the Northwest must go to Seattle. If It once goes to Seattle and the steambshlp lines make that port their terminus, nothing short of an earthquake will disturb it." Commissioner Barney showed him self conversant with the Oregon sit uation by remarking that the' hlnier land business ber was destined to be enormous and that this business must find a convenient outlet. For this public docks were an absolute neces sity, he declared. Lateral development is best for a city with , a harbor like Portland's, Commissioner Barney contends. Trans shipment to either city or railroads Is then made easy. Freight train are saved from having to switch around a right , angle Into piers, which in tvlta VI ra)Mil ia congestion, he said. 1.75 Combinations $1.49 Women's Combination Corset Cover and Drawers or Corset Cover and Skirt, made of good quality crepe or longeloth; some with allover embroidery.

"If an organized plan of de velopment for the Port of Portland is prepared, providing for a aystematlo manner of hauling- a great shipping traffic It will be found that the rail roads must slip into line and develop their property accordingly." Railroads Fall into Line. Barney said this had been the sit uation In New York, where th Bush Terminal Company's work had been backed by the railroads. They prompt ly followed the development of the Bush system by formulating- similar plans. The Bush plans were drawn up by K. P. Goodrich, who Is a mem ber of the board now here. The situation in New York, however, varied from conditions here In that as that city was on an island, car floats were necessary to handle frelpht trains: these car floats were handled two abreast between the slips, Barney explained. "For every dollar Seattle spends, Portland can well afford to spend an other," he added. "The tendency, other things being equal. Is for water ship ment to be carried as far Into the In terior as possible. Portland Is further Interior than Seattle, and should real ize that she can draw shipments here. "Antwerp, a city no larger than Portland, is spending 50,000,000 on dock development and plans to dam the whole River Schelt- London has purchased property to the extent of $250,000,000 to have the dock property under one head and plans the expendi ture now of $70,000,000 more to main tain that supremacy. Tax Borden Not Heavy. "In Liverpool you have the situation of the Mersey Docks and Harbor Board, In no way related to the mu nicipality, controlling- the waterfront of both Liverpool and Birkenhead. "In this county, and It is inevitable owing to our democratic form of gov ernment, our boards must change from time to time and the work carried on by one board may be stopped by an other. It Is for this reason that I say when the railroads see that politics is not the controlling factor In a docks board, they will assist it in its work." Barney said that privately owned property already had been shown the board in Portland that is 'available for the beginning of a public docks sys tem. "It will be found," he continued, "that the construction of public docks will not mean that the taxpayer must delve Into his pockets. Following the construction of the first unit. It has been found that docks are self-supporting and will be able, to retire their own bonds. In this instance, I see no reason why Portland's original appro priation of $2,500,000 should not be sufficient to care for all the prelimi naries. Future development can be on a prearranged plan and may take care of Itself." Marine Notes. . The oil tank steamer W. S.
