THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1912. 18 s MAHUNY ADD 8 TO BIG FLEET New Wooden Steamer Project ed With Capacity of 1,000, 000 Feet of Lumber. CALIFORNIA NEARLY READY ' 6teel Carrier to Be Launched at Wilmington, August 15, Will Go to Philadelphia for Cargo. Due in West December 1. There will be another steamer started early In 1S3 for the Olson & Mahony Steamship Company. It will be of wood and capable of hardline 1.000.000 feet of lumber. The steamer California, which is of steel, Is being turned out at the yards of Harlan & Hollings worth. Wilmington. Del. It will be launched August IS. Oliver J. Olson, one of. the firm, reached Portland at 2 o'clock yester day morning:, being- a passenger with his wife and daughter on the belated Shasta Limited, and tonight they will leave tor the East by way of Puget Sound, as they go over the Canadian Pacific to New York, and will be at Wilmington when the California takes the water. She is expected to leave the Atlantic Coast early in September. After her trial trip and acceptance she will steam to Philadelphia to load a full cargo, and Is looked for at San Francisco about December 1. California Passenger Carrier. The California was built for the Portland-San Francisco-Los Angeles trade, being a carrier with a lumber capacity of 1.650.000 feet with accom modations for 75 passengers. She will be the largest of her type in both features on the run. The vessel is 150.11 feet long, has a beam of 41 feet . and depth of hold of 20.6 feet. Her engines are to develop 1200-horsepower. which is expected to give her a speed of 11 knots. Mr. Olson describes her model as that of a "double ender" be cause her machinery is located amid ships, also the cabin. Two masts are forward of the house and one aft. There are three gears for working cargo, which will facilitate loading and discharging. Provision has been made for carry ing 4200 barrels of fuel oil in her jouble bottom. In the engine-room are two settling tanks Into which the oil goes before being diverted to the furnaces. Iahl oil burners have been specified. She will be equipped with radio gear by the United Wireless Trlegraph Company. Captain Henry Peterson, well known as master of the steamer Carlos, is to be skipper of the new ship and her engineroom will be presided over by Ben Free, now chief on the steamer Olson & Mahony. O'ompanyn List Is Long. This line now controls the steamers Olson & Mahony, Jim Butler. Thomas H. Wand. Carlos, Westerner and the new California, whUe in the way of schooners there are the Andy Mahony, Sea Home. Annie Larsen and Wrestler. The steamers Tamplco and Melville Dollar are under regular charter and the Mackinaw will be engaged agatn on her return from Alaska, in addition to which are several vessels the com pany frequently operates for single trips. The wooden steamer to be built will be 212.6 feet long with a beam of 42 feet and depth of hold of IT feet. She will be equipped with engines to develop 800-horsepower and passenger accommodations will be provided. Plans have been ready for some time, but actual construction is not expected to be commenced until after January 1. DVXSYRE IS FIXED AGAIN Ship In River Taken for Same Voy age at Higher Rate. Comyn, Mackall & Company- have taken a carrier for lumber from the Columbia River or Puget Sound to Syd ney at 50 shillings with the option of the West Coast at "5 shillings, she be ing the British ship Dunsyre, which Is in the river and working cargo under charter to J. J. Moore Company for Sydney at 48s 6d. The Pacific Export Lumber Company is credited with hav ing fixed one of the "Strath" line for China loading with the option of Cal cutta, time charter at seven shillings, but the engagement is denied here. Hind, Rolph A Company, owners of the barkentine Koko Head, which is 27 days on the way from Newcastle. X. S. W., for San Francisco, will load the vessel with lumber from the Col umbia River or Puget Sound for New Zealand. Exporters complain that rates for tonnage continue high and there Is the same scarcity of desirable vessels that was reported last month. COMMISSION MEETS TODAY Clerk to Be Appointed, Bond Sale Discussed and Reports Heard. Frequent sessions of the Commission of Public Docks may be eliminated as a result of the adoption of a plan for meetings the first and third Thursdays of the month, instead of gathering only the first Thursday, as has been the practice. The commission will convene at 2 o'clock this afternoon In the Wor cester building and one of the matters to be disposed of is the appointment of a clerk. There are several applicants for the place. The one selected will be from the eligible list of the Civil Sen-ice Com mission, as the rules apply to all em ployes of the commission, save Chief Engineer O. B. Hegardt and the force In his department. The commission will consider the proposed second issue of bonds, which may reach 11,500.000. also receive reports from City Attorney Grant's office as to what steps have been taken dealing with the condemna tion of property on the East and West Sides, on which the first commercial docks are to be constructed. STEAMBOAT OWNERS OBJECT Puget Sound Navigator Say Safety Rules Will Bring Hardship. Puget Sound vessel owners, operat ing to points within that harbor, hope to have a heart-to-heart talk with Supervising Inspector John K. Bulger, who has reached there from San Fran cisco, .because they aver that his new order, "effective July 1. compelling pas senger vessels operating on sounds, lakes and bays, to have sufficient life boat and liferaft capacity for passen gers and crew, will cause the retire ment of a majority of the carriers on short runs. Some of the marines recite that to carry the gear demanded would make the steamers topheavy and increase, rather than diminish, the danger. It is claimed for Puget Sound that con ditions during the year are peculiar Inasmuch as there Is an absence of high wind, storms and ice. and for that reason the vessels should not be re stricted as in many places where they ply virtually across open harbors. The matter has also been taken up with the Department of Commerce and Labor. NEW ML F. HENDERSON READY Successor of Wrecked Shaver Steam er to Be Floated Today. Nearly a year after the steamer M. F. Henderson, of the Shaver fleet, was struck and wrecked by the tug Sam son, her successor is to take the water, for the new Henderson will be launched from the ways of the Portland Ship building Company at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The vessel being completed is vir tually a duplicate of the former steam er, which was generally regarded as among the best towboats on the river and was valued at J40.000. The Hen derson was bound upstream the night of July 21, 1911. having In tow barge No. 93. of the Standard Oil Company's tank fleet when the tug Samson, neaa ed down with rock barges in tow, en route to the Columbia River jetty, struck the Henderson and sent her to the bottom. Suit was Instituted by the Shaver Transportation Company, wnicn Is pending, but as the Standard Oil Company employed the pilot in charge, owners of the steamer expect them to pay for the damage. The Standard, in turn, is endeavoring to shoulder the financial resDonsibill ty on the owners of the Samson, the Columbia Contract Company, headed by Dan Itern.

There has been no spurt among ex porters to collect tonnage, but since July 1 there has been renewed activity displayed In chartering. Naturally, ideal crop prospects are having, an in fluence and there promises to be a heavy movement of the cereal by Jan uary L Some are inclined to the opin ion that there will be a material gain in the wheat exportation from Tacoma this season, yet Portland Is well In the lead in the number of carriers char tered. w Marine Notes. Carrying wheat the German ship Klio. which sailed from the river March 23. arrived at Queenstown July 16, ac cording to a message received at the Merchants' Exchange yesterday. With a lumber cargo loaded on the Lower Columbia the schooner J. H. Lunsmann, which sailed April 21, ar rived at Iquique yesterday and the barkentine John C.

After having worked a consignment of lumber at Inman-Poulsen's, the steamer Johan Poulsen left down last evening to work more at Kalama and Rainier and is to finish at Westpoit tomorrow. Cargo brought by the steamer Pleia des began moving ashore yesterday and she is to be discharged Saturday. The vessel will proceed to Gray's Harbor to load lumber in the service of the Cali fornia & Atlantic Steamship Company. When the gasoline steamer Anvil sailed at 7 o'clock last evening for Ore gon ports she had an average passen ger list and carried 87 tons of cargo for Newport, 50 tons for Florence and 43 tons for Bandon. The gasoline schooner Patsy also got away for Ban don with a large load. Aboard the steamer Jim Butler when she sails from the lower river for San Francisco will be 500 tons of wheat and 300,000 feet of lumber. Coming on the steamer Isthmian, due tomorrow from Sallna Crux via San Francisco, is S00 tons general cargo from New York, in addition to which is bonded freight from Europe.

W.D.SKINNEB GOES TO HIGHER BERTH General Freight Agent of O.-W. R. & N. Named Assistant Traffic Manager. POSITION IS NEW OFFICE Harvey E. Lounsbury, of Southern Pacific, Succeeds Promoted Man Both Have Risen Steadily From Modest Beginning. Reorganization of the freight traffic department of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. will be effected at once through the promotion of W. D. Skinner, general freight agent, to the newly created position of assistant traffic manager, and of the appointment of Harvey E. Lounsbury, general freight agent for the Southern Pacific, to succeed Mr. Skinner. Announcement of these changes were made yesterday by R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the O.-w. R. cz N. Co. They will be effective immediately. A suc cessor to Mr. Lousbury as general freight agent of the Southern Pacific will be named by B. O. McCormlck, vice-president in charge of traffic, at San Francisco. "Increasing business has necessi tated a few changes and some additions to our force." said Mr. Miller yester day. "I believe that this arrange ment will strengthen the organization and give patrons of the O.-W. R.' & N. lines a superior service." Rise of Official Steady. Both Mr. Skinner and Mr. Louns bury are well known to the railroad men of the Northwest, each having served long and faithfully in the in terest of the various Harriman roads in this territory. Mr. Skinner began his railroad career with the Iowa Central at Marshalltown, la., more than 20 years ago. He came to Portland and entered the employ of the old O. R. & N. Co. when Edward McNeill was made re ceiver of that road. His first duties were with the freight accounting de partment. Through successive promo tions, granted In recognition of careful performance of duty, .he rose through various positions to that of chief clerk In the freight department. About four years ago he became general freight agent of the O. R. & N. Co. When the Harriman lines invaded Seattle he was made general freight and pas senger agent of the "Oregon and Wash ington" operating between Portland and Puget Sound. With the organiza tion of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. he re tained that position and title, but when the Harriman system was reorganized last Fall he came to Portland as gen eral freight agent of the entire O.-W. R. & N. Co. He holds that position now. Office Boy Was Beginning. With a record of 25 years of steady service In the traffic field Mr. Louns bury bears the unique distinction of maintaining his headquarters con stantly in the same city Portland. Usually traffic men are shifted about over the country like so many checkers. Mr. Lounsbury s first duties were as office boy with the O. R. & N. Co. when the general offices were located on the Ash-street dock. He worked for sev eral years in the passenger depart ment of the old company, but subse quently entered the employ of the Southern Pacific, accepting a clerkship with that road in 1891. He advanced rapidly until he became traveling freight agent In the Willamette Valley, which position he held for many years. Since 1907 he has held successively the positions of district freight agent, general agent of the freight depart ment for both the Southern Pacific and the O.-W. R. & N. Co.. assistant gen eral freight agent of both lines, and general freight agent of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon. PIOHEEB HERE ON VISIT WILLIAM B. MYERS SEES PORT LAND AFTER 4 9 YEARS. Metropolis of Pacific Northwest Has Developed From 2500 Hotel "What Cheer" Is Sought. Where the "What Cheer House" was located in Portland during 1862-S has been worrying William B. Myers, of Joplin. Mo., for several days and he cannot find a single landmark to indi cate tbe position of the leading hotel of that day. Mr. Myers has returned to Portland on a visit after an absence of 49 years and with his wife, is stop ping at the Oregon looking up the few people left here whom he knew half a century ago. 'Portland in those days was a metropolis as It is today, but it had a population of about 2600 and these were largely composed of men going back and forth from the mines and newly ar rived emigrants. The city was spread along the river front for half a mile and what would now be two blocks pack would be the edge of the tall timber and I taught school in this wilderness. or 40 miles away, for nearly a year. War Call Is Heard. "As a boy I answered the first call to the war when three months serv ice was asked for and when discharged from this I joined the Government emi grant escort party headed by Captain Medorum Crawford and of this party I know of but three alive, except my self Cyrus Dolph and William Berger, of Portland, and Harley Stevens, of Oregon City. The late Senator Joseph Dolph was orderly sergeant of this party and one of its most popular mem bers. This was In the Summer of 1862 and when we had reached as far as Powder River there was a great gold find at Auburn, Or., reported, and I stampeded there with a number of others but after reaching there we learned that a party, headed, by a man named Grimes, had been murdered by the Indians in the Boise basin and I Joined a party to hunt the murderers. but with no success. It was in December, that year. I reached Portland and was flat broke. I was only 17 years of age but was willing to tackle anything. I was offered a lob as scnool teacner in x ant hill County at a little settlement where the Yamhill River enters the Willam ette. There were IB scholars and manv of them rode miles through the timber to attend it, some coming dally three on one horse. I spent Sunday in the vicinity trying to find some of my old pupils and did locate a few among the Crawford and Haines lamuies who are now grandfathers and grand mothers. It was one or the most pleasant Winters that my memory re calls and as- I look back on it now the life was as close to nature as was possible, but with an honest truth fulness that bore the spirit that has since made Oregon. 'In the Spring ox 1862 I joined a Mme. D'Mille's Beauty Hints (From the Journal of Fashion.) "No woman who prizes true beauty will neglect her eyebrows and eyelashes.- Brushing the eyebrows trains them to grow arch-shape and applying pyroxln will make them grow thick and silky. Pyroxin applied to roots will make the lashes grow long and sils. "Xo keep the skin clear, smooth, fair and pliant use a simple compieocion bouutifier made by dissolving a:t cr Igir.al package of mayatone in a lialf n.nt of witch hazel. Gently massage face, neck and arms with this and you will escape freckles, tan and sunburn. It prevents that 'shiny' look and will not rub off or show like powder, while It gives a lovely, soft and youthful comple xion. "Any person desiring abundant, glossy hair should use a dry shampoo fre quently. Mix four ounces of powdered orris root with an original package of therox and sprinkle a teaspoonful of this mixture on the head and brush it thoroughly through the hair. Th-srox makes the hair light and fluffy, ind beautifully lustrous. "Paste made by mixing water with a little powdered delatone and applied to a hairy surface will remove every trace of superfluous hair or fuzz. Leave the paste on a minute or two, then re move and wash the surface. This treatment is safe, sure and speedy and leaves the skin hairless, firm and smooth." Adv. Government surveying party and worked with it during that Summer, returning to Portland in the Fall and stopping at the What Cheer j House which was a palatial establishment in our estimation and a ball was given in honor of our surveying party. The elegance of this ball made an im pression on my mind that cannot be effaced, but of course I was only a boy. That Fall I went to New York by the way of the Isthmus and Im mediately Joined the Army again and served until the close of the war. "After the war I went to Joplin, Mo., with my father and engaged In the wool manufacturing business for 25 years. With this and other investments I was able to retire some years ago and enjoy life with my wife. While I am a life member of the Joplin Lodge of Elks I know that when a man is 67 years of age he is too old to prance around but It attracted me to come West and I have visited every place that I stopped during my cross ing the plains in '62 with the greatest pleasure, but won't some one tell me where the What Cheer House was?" WIFE TIES UP PROPERTY MRS. JAMES SUES PROPRIETOR OF MAJESTIC THEATER. Nine-Year-Old Daughter of Couple Offers Testimony for Father Woman's Brother .Here. Circuit Court Judge Gatens yester day allowed an order secured by Grace L. James, who has started suit for di vorce, tying up the property of Edwin E. James, her husband and proprietor of the Majestic Moving Picture Theater, to be continued. Mrs. James applica tion for $300 a month temporary ali mony and $2500 attorney fees was laid over until a later date. J. E. Clancy, of Seattle, a brother, of Mrs. James, was one of the witnesses in the preliminary proceedings. He de clared that he had come to Portland four times to keep James from "lick ing" his sister and had paid within the last few months telephone bills amounting to $28 which she had caused by calling him up from Portland to tell her troubles. ' Alice James, the 9-year-old daugh ter of the couple, appeared In court with her father and gave testimony in his favor. She said that her uncle, J. E. Clancy, had once prevented her mother and herself from coming to Portland to Join her .father. James stated that the Majestic Thea ter had not been started on his wife's money but on a "shoestring" of $700 which he had raised. It Had paid irom the start and the only time his wife was of assistance was when she allowed him to use her credit in negotiating a loan of $15,000 from the United States National Bank. An affidavit of Cash ier Schmeer of the bank substantiated the fact that she had signed a Joint note. The loan, with the exception of $5000, had been repaid from the profits of the business. The moving-picture man also denied an allegation In the complaint of Mrs. James that he had forced her to sacri fice $22,000 worth of property inherited from her uncle for $13,000 cash. He said that only $1,000 had been obtained for the property and that it had been transferred to the Clancys, his wife's brothers. Clancy said that he had ex pended a great deal of money In paying bills for his sister and had been unable to date to make James repay the amount although frequent promises had been received. Mrs. James in her divorce complaint has accused her husband of intimacy with another woman extending over the past ten weeks. She declares that her husband has recevied an offer of $85,000 for the Majestic Theater, and. taking this as an Indication of the value of the business, wants $40,000 permanent alimoney.

AB SHOW IS NEW Judges for Eugenic Exhibit at Salenrto Be Physicians. PHYSICAL PERFECTION AIM Boys and Girls Will Be Judged Sep arately and Appearance Will Have No Weight Local Com petitions Are Planned. The merely pretty baby will stand no show at all before the Judges at the eugenic exposition at the State Fair in Salem Wednesday, September 4, and it is in this particular, as in many others, that the new venture is quite different from the time-honored "baby show" of fairs and holidays of the past. The judges are to be selected from the ranks of the medical experts of the Coast and will make their de cisions solely upon the basis of phys ical perfection, thereby making it pos sible for the homeliest little urchin in the state, provided he Is possessed of a superior physique, to carry away the cup from any amount of blue eyes and flaxen hair and celestial complexions, provided the latter are not backed up by robust health. Mere Beauty No Asset. In the coming eugenic exposition also- there will be no competition for prizes between babies of different sexes. This is another point of dif ference from the ancient baby show, where the dainty girl baby, entering solely upon the basis of waxen beauty against the strong-lunged but unlovely masculine infant, frequently carried off all the prizes in sight. O. M. Plummer, superintendent of the exposition, announces that public Interest throughout the state Is grow ing more rapidly than he dared to hope and that the entries at the first eugenic exposition may reach 200. He is now arranging to organize local competitions under the auspices of county, grange or commercial organ izations throughout the state, the win ners in these local preliminaries to be entered for the state championship at Salem. Prizes Valued at S500. The Fair Board has allowed $500 for prizes for the exposition. These are all to be in the form of cups. There will be three classes of entries for both boy and girl babies six months to one year, one to two years and two to three years. The prize awards in each of these classes will be as fol lows: First prize, $25 silver cup: sec ond 10 silver cup, and, third, $5 silver cup! A $50 cup will also be hung up as a sweepstakes prize for the best boy baby of any age entered in. the show and a similar prize will be of fered in the girl baby classes. "The whole movement," said Mr. Plummer, "works In admirably with the general child welfare movement and is arousing an interest which, in my estimattion, it richly deserves and which nromises well for its success. It is to be expected that the eugenic exposition idea may spead until, in addition to county and state shows, we will have National expositions, ana me effect cannot help being advantageous to the develoDment of the movement for scientific care and culture of the phild."

Adele Beebe yesterday began in Cir cutt Court suit to recover $1350 back rent from Geneva Gibson, to whom on August 30, 1911, she leased her fur nished premises at 68-70 North Seventh street for three years at a monthly rental of 200. She declares that the other woman has paid her nothing since June and has also failed to pay all of a $900 lien which Henry Jen nings & Sons had against the furniture. Though the first Illuminating match ap peared in England as late as 1527. the Idea seized a genius about the year 178S, as men tioned in an advertisement In a Morning Post. Tne Oldest Blood Disease The most ancient history furnishes evidence that mankind suffered vrith Contagious Blood Poison. The disease has come down through all the ages and is to-day, as it has ever been, a scourge and blight upon hu manity. The symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison are the same as in its earliest history, but its cure has now become an accomplished fact, where as, it was once considered an incurable infection. S. S. S. is an antidote for the virus of Contagious Blood Poison, and cures it in all its forms and stages. S. S.
