Irbleaa W III Repair Tim. Commissioner Kellaher said he was of the opinion that even If any con demnation suit was advanced on the court calendar, which might be brought about because of the urgency for action tn such a matter of public Improve ment, that It would not be disposed of short of three months. Chairman llulkey coincided In that and further said that ne believed the condemna tion or waterfront property for dock purposes would entail labor that would warrant the council providing that a Iieputy City Attorney be detailed to give his time and work solely to mat ters before the Commission, in return for which the Commission would prob ably erect the proposed new flreboat station and dormitory In advance of other projects. , The opinion of City Attorney Grant also means, according to Chairman Mulkey. that Interest for about four months will be saved on the forthcom ing bond Issue, as the money will not be required as early as was thought. The tlrst Interest to be paid on last year's Issue amounts to $11:5. The Commis sion has a balance on hand on which Interest Is drawn because It Is on de posit, though in making up the budget of what would bo derived from taxa tion the Item of a per cent for tax delinquencies was overlooked.

At the same time the Commissioners say they would re quire but one room for an office and could hold meetings In one of those now used by the Council or com mittees.

As there has Wn a general demand for copies of the special report by the hoard of consultation and the Commis sion Is without authority to shoulder the expense of printing.

It was shown that own ers of the gasoline schooner Anvil had paid 131 for the use of the City Ievee as a berth, but nothing was forthcoming from the naval board for the cruiser Boston, which was there during the Winter.

Gasoline Seagoing Boat Leave Mays at North Bend. MAK5HFTELD. Or.. April IJ. Impe rial.) The Mlrone. a gasoline sea going boat for the F. C. Barnes Canning Company of Portland, was launched at the Kruse Banks shipyard In North Bend. The new boat Is of the most ap proved model, and la said to be one of t:ie best equipped of the kind that has vet ben put Into service on the Coast. She Is to be used by the Barnes com pany at their Alaska plant as a can nery tender. The Mlrene Is tl feet long and will have an SO-horse power gasoline en gine. In addition to the boat Just launched, three others are, under con struction at the same shipyard. One Is a steam lumber and passenger boat for a. F.

HIU WHEAT CARGO RECALLED Ship Carrj,nK Ioose Grain From Here foundered OU Horn. Through the announcement at Los Ang'lcs of plans of the Globe Milling interests to erect grain elevators and transport cereal from Portland to Cal ifornia harbors In bulk on a steamer rpeclally fitted, the attempt of a San Francisco firm to dispatch a cargo in bulk from Portland to the United King dom In early days has been recalled. In that case the vessel foundered off the Horn. Another plan tried waa to use sacked wheat to line the hold and tiers of them to divide the grain In bulk. All wheat todav is shipped In sacks, as the bulk method Is Impracticable except In ves sels that are arranged for the purpose, and when loaded -at ports where ele vators are In use. Exporters say that after particularly dry seasons, when the harvested crop waa hard, experi ments were conducted In shipping around the Horn In ventilating the hold, and that. together with the changes of climate that effected the wheat, increased the weight of one cargo 40 tons. It ts believed that the shipment of wheat In bulk will be car ried on after the opening of the canal, as steamers of the proper type will be available and In going through the big ditch they will escape much of the se vere weather that makes the course via the Horn objectionable for the busi ness at present.

FEW ENLISTING IN ARMY SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS NOW OFFERED BY OFFICIALS. Men Who "Come Anywhere Near Meeting Physical Qualifications" Are to Be Accepted. Although the Portland offices of the United States Army recruiting service have been urged by the War Depart ment at Washington. D. C to accept all men who come anywhere near meeting the physical qualifications, the enlist ment has been slow, according to re ports given out yesterday. Since the order was issued the re cruiting Lieutenant in Portland has had three men out In the state tacking up signs requesting men to join the Army at once and indicating that cer tain of the stringent pnysicat qua.uiii.-a tions will be waived in the examination of applicants. This campaign lias haiil lv progressed far enough yet. it is said, to bring any noticeable results, but the recruiting officers are anticipating a rush of recruits within the next few davs. The recent order of the War Depart ment to take all available men Into the ranks is considered by those Interested in the Mexican situation to be an im portant move. It indicates that t lie Government is trying to fill up the companies and get everything in readi ness for war, it is said. The Army at present has a strength of S::,oofl en listed men. This number can be in creased at the order of the President up to 105.000. So far the only results brought from the appeal for soldiers was a letter re ceived yesterday at the recruiting of fice in which six young men ask for more information on tha enlistment and intimate that they intend to join the ranks.
