MIL RIVAL FORCES
STEAMER TO QUIT
Following Opening of Tillamook
Line Business by Water
Falls Off.
FREIGHT ALSO DECREASES
Captain O. V. Hosford Says Golden
Gat Will Be Offered for Sale.
Carriers Still to Make Tilla
mook Port of Call.
Rail competition bftwwn Portland
and Tillamook haa outpointed Us first
rival, the steamer rjolden Gate, which
arrived In rort yesterday and was or
dered out of commission. Captain O.
W. Hoaford. manasMng; owner, said that
there wera no plans under considera
tion for resumlna; service, and the Gol
den Gate will be offered for sale.
For years the steamer Sue H. El
more had full sway on the route to
Tillamook, and less than a year and a
half aito the Golden Gate was placed
In permanent operation. She was fol
lowed In the past season by the gaso
line schooner Anvil, which makes Tilla
mook a port of call and continues down
the Coast to Bandon. The Elmore In
terests had operated the arasollne
schooner Oshkosh on a tramping
schedule, and when she was lost the
irasollne schooners Tillamook and
Patsy were built and both call at Tilla
mook:. The completion of the line of the Pa
cific Railway A Navigation Company
was not expected to prove disastrous,
as It was reasoned that the history of
other rail and water competition would
be repeated and new business created
for both. But It was soon apparent
that the steamers could not hold pas
senger business, and a few weeks ano
the Golden Gate relinquished her li
cense, merely continuing in the frelKht
trade.
"We do not feel that the business
offered is sufficient to warrant the
Oolden Gate be In a on the run." said
Captain Hoaford. "Of course all freight
has not been diverted to the rail lines,
but what Is left does not justify con
tinued operation."
As the Anvil does not depend on
Tillamook patronage, ahe la to remain
In commlsaion. and the Elmore will
continue, ao far as Is known. There
are expected to be times durlns; the
Winter when the rail line will be
blocked, throufrh landslides and soft
track, and then the water route will
be the only means of transportation.
TIG ONEOXTA INSPECTED
Officials to Decide on Chances In
Objectionable J'eatnres.
Port of Portland Commissioners
1'eaae and Sharer went to Astoria yes
terday with General Manager Talbot
and Superintendent Campion, to make
a thorough Inspection of the tuK
Oneonta to decide what changes can be
made to enhance her seaworthiness.
The trip Is the outcome of reports that
the vessel could not go to sea when
the sterner Washington was in trouble
November IS. while the Tatoosh. of the
Puget Sound Tugboat Company's fleet,
was outside and managed to get the
Washington Into the river.
One plan discussed briefly Is to in
crease the freeboard of the Oneonta by
adding ateel platea on the sides, but
that would prove expensive and Its
practicability can only be ascertained
after taking into consideration changes
that would have to be made on deck
to support the extra height. The en
trance to her companion way, which is
covered by a hood, may also be abol
ished owing to the assumption that in
a heavy aea the protection might be
carried am-ay and the hold flooded. If
that Is done entrance to the engine
room will be from below. The location
of her wireless equipment will also be
decided on and a general report la ex
pected to be given at the next meeting
of the Commission.

Kobcrt Wilson l,oo Balance While
Working on Iocks Edge.
Itobert Wilson, who was numbered
among the oldest longshoremen in the
city, fell from Oak-street dock to the
deck of the steamer Yosemtte at 1:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon and sus
tained a fracture of the skull, from
which he died aa the ambulance
reached the hospital. The body was
taken In charge by the Coroner and
an !niucat probably will be held today.
Captain Nelson, of the Yosemite. aald
that he did not witness the accident,
but Klrst Mate 8. Kustad made a re
port in which he said that he was
standing on deck and saw Wilson Im
mediately after he fell. He said that
from what he could ascertain. Wil
son, who bad been stationed on the
dock and was assisting in loading
trucks aa alingloada of cement were
hoisted, attempted to guide a sling of
cement weighing lb CO pounds, and lost
his balance as the wlnchman took
about "half a turn" to steady the gear,
and fell. Wilson was about 60 years
of age.
PERMISSION GIVEN EOR PH.ltt"
Jlarrlman Interests 'Will Span Chan
nel With Trass.
With the understanding that those
engaged tn the work must shoulder all
responsibility for accidents and delays
to vessels. Major Mclndoe. Corps of
Knglneera. I. S. A., has granted per
mission for a truss t be constructed
from one tower to the other on the
siew Harriman bridge ao the lift draw
span can be built in position. It was
erst planned to bare a clearance be
neath the truss of 105 feet, but that
has been Increased to 111 fret. '
As some vessels plying here cannot
pass beneath the falsework owing to
the height of their masts, the contrac
tors will arrange to employ lighters to
unload and load cargo or pay the cost
of stepping masts. It Is the Intention
to delay the truss until water condi
tions are certain. Major Mclndoe haa
laid stress on the fact thar In grant
ing permission for the undertaking,
'which la In ltne with the War Depart
ment s policy, no reaponslblllty will be
borne by the Government.
OI.WY POSTED AS MISSING
Captain Salter Was on Matlrrliorn
When Slie Foundered.
Krlends of Captain Salter, master of
t:e British bark Solway. were grieved
tn learn yesterday that the vessel had
be. n posted -t Lloyd a as m'ssing. She
sailed from Newcastle. N. S. W, June
; i. for Junln. on the West Coast, laden
with coal, and the fact Lloyd's has
posted her means that i!l hope Is
abandoned. She carried J3 men. The
Solway was listed for Portland for a
time, as she was to have come north
to load wheat after discharging the
fuel.
Captain Salter wai well known In
Portland and came Into particular
prominence three years ago as master
of the British bark Matterhorn when
she turned turtle off the Umatilla light,
vessel on the way to Europe with a
cargo of barley loaded here. The crew
escaped with the exception of one man.
Tne British bark Gulf Stream Is quot
ed for reinsurance at the rate of 45 per
cent. She sailed from Glasgow for Van
couver. B. C. and was sighted In May
near the Equator, on the Atlantic. The
theory has been advanced that the Gulf
Stream and Solway met In collision In
the South Pacific,

rocks, extending from the Washington
shore In the vicinity of Pillar Rock.

inches an hour, but her pumps kept

CHICAGO. Dec. 19. Despite the bullish
nature of the Government report, the wheat
market today closed weak. Misleading re
ports aa to a break In prices at Buenos
Avres had much to do with the setback.

There was an early advance tn wheat,
owing- tothe shrinkage in the Washington
figures on the yield In the United Slates
for 1911, and also because of a fresh drop
in receipts West. The advance, however,
proved to be disappointing to dealers, who
had attached large importance to the Gov

In on a heavy scale. May wheat ranged
from 9c to Il.OOH. with last sales H9

ment for this low charge? I am a man of in
