G. L. BLAiR CONFERS
WITH J. 0. FARRELL
Indications Are New Manage
f or "Big Three" Fleet
Be Named Soon.
BEAR SAILS WITH BIG LIST
Innoratlon In Fa-e wells Introduced
as Bevy of Tonn; Women Throw
Streamers ot Paper Ribbons
to Friends on Dock.
In the absence of an official an
nouneement of appointments In the for
mation of an executive staff for the
6an Francisco & Portland Steamship
Company, the fact that G. I Blair, gtn.
eral freight agent of tne line, passed
most ot yesterday In conference with
J. D. Farrell, president of the com
pany and head of the O.-W. R. & N la
taken as evidence to substantiate the
assumption among mariners that Mr.
Blair will soon be designated as gen
eral manager of the "Big Three" co
terie.
It was renerally expected among
friends of Mr. Blair that he would re
turn to San Francisco yesterday on
the steamer Bear, bnt he was not num
bered with her passengers and at sail
ing hour was said to be closeted with
the powers that be In the Wells-Fargo
building.
Other Appointments Expected.
The system of organization that will
be In vogue after March 1 Is reported
to be In course of preparation, and
there Is reason to oelleve .iat wnen
word goes forth from the office of the
president that a manager has been
formally selected there will be a list of
other appointees to maintain the pres
ent service.
A. Ottlnger, general agent of the line,
who was here and on Puget Sound for
a few days, departed on the steamer
Bear. He disclaimed to have In his
possession an appointment sf any char,
acter, and it Is presumed that he will
continue his relations with the pas
senger department of the Paclflo Mall.
With the date for establishing the
headquarters of the company at Port
land only a week away, but a few
days will elapse probably before the
names of future officers are made
known and steps taken to shift the
directing regime from San Francisco.
The sailing of the Bear yesterday
was featured by a large passenger list,
as she Is the first steamer of the line
to get away for ten days, the Beaver
not having made her scheduled voyage,
owing to being under repairs at San
Francisco.
Innovation la Introduced.
An Innovation In farewells was Intro
duced as the Bear hauled Into the
stream, for a bevy of young women
appeared on the boat deck with bolts
of colored paper streamers, and, throw
ing the ends to friends on the dock,
played out the ribbons until the ship
was over 100 feet from the wharf and
her tide was trailing with them.
Piled on the forecastle of the Bear
was a collection of condemned life
saving equipment, steamship apparatus
that has long ago been discharged and
"Junk" of various kinds which had ac
cumulated on Alnsworth dock. Captain
NoMnder was charged with the re
sponslbillty of getting rid of the stuff

the best methods to be undertaken
in floating the ship. Both agree that
there are good prospects for the ves

RECREATION PIER TO START
Public Landing at Stark Street to
Be Available This Tear.
Owing to the departure for the East
yesterday of F. W. Mulkey, chairman
of the Commission of Public Docks, the
regular meeting did not take place, but
at an early session the commission
voted to Instruct the City Engineer to
proceed with the . establishment of a
grade at the foot 'of Stark street, ex
tending from the harbor line to the
grade of Front street, so that a start
can be made on the recreation pier
and motorboat landing planned there.
It Is roughly estimated -that the pier
will cost $15,000. It will extend to the
harbor line on a level with Front street,
but a space 15 feet wide will be left
on each side so that owners of adja
cent property can provide roadways on
which to reach the docks. The pier
will be on concrete and steel and at
the end a slip will be provided leading
to a float on the river side, so small
vessels may be reached. When the
grade is established the commission
will ask for bids, as it Is desired to
have the pier available this season.
FREE FILLS GET RESTXTS
Owners Xot to Hold Title to Land
Gratuitously Improved.
Balfour. Guthrie, & Co. la the first firm
to sign a waiver In connection with a
fill being made beneath the dock of
the Crown Flour Mill, which is in ef
fect that an upland owner will not
claim title to land filled free of charge,
so in the event the property Is con
demned for public dock purposes the
city will not be made to pay damages
for a gratuitous fill. If the fill Is paid
for by the owner he will be entitled to
compensation if condemned.
It is understood on the waterfronr
that all owners are not agreeable to
signing a document to that effect.
Many see in the move an opportunity to
have space beneath docks filled with
out cost and will take advantage of it.
proceeding on the theory that In all
probability their holdings will not be
required for municipal use and they
will be the gainers, as they are not
prevented meanwhile from occupying
the ground filled free.
GENERA TJX REPORTS OX MIMI
Surveyors Say German Bark Can Be
Floated From Oregon Beach.
Captain E. C. Generaux, of Seattle,
surveyor for Frank Taylor, agent
there for the German underwriters, re
turned yesterday from Nehalem after
examining the German bark Ml ml.
which is ashore north of the bay, and
made the following statement:
"The bark is making no water. She
is in good posltlo.i and one anchor
with 75 fathoms of chain Is out. She
la heading pretty well off shore and
lies about 600 feet from low-water
mark. There is from six to seven feet
of water around her at high tide and
she has a slight list to starboard. The
vessel is absolutely tight and shows
no sign of straining. They are filling
the forepcak tank with water, so as
to keep her down by the head' and
that will tend gradually to work her
stern around. She Is now heading
about south-southwest magnetic."
Captain Albert Crowe, of this city,
acting as surveyor for ' the owners,
waa with Captain Generaux and they
will formulate recommendations as to

Carrying supplies the lighthouse

Carl Mays, the only holdout on Port
land's two baseball clubs, is within the
fold. The Colt pitcher drafted from
the Western Tri-State League aent in
his signed contract to President Mc-
PrrilA Yesterday.
Mays was tendered a contract can
ine for 160 a month more than he re
ceived last season, but asked for $110
more. McCredie promptly wrote him
that he must sign the nrst contract, or
none at all. This overcame the hea
ver's egotlstlo attitude and he Is reg
istered for training camp life.
It was not known until yesterday
that Mays was a recalcitrant, the un
derstanding being that not one ox tne
recruits was balking. However. Mc
Credie -was confident that the pitcher
would come to terms upon realizing
the futility of his demands, and events
proved him correct.
a
John Kelly. Walter McCredie's Cali
fornia scout, writes that Nick Williams
has- secured a real ballplayer in the
person of Gulgnl, the St, Mary's Col
lege infielder. He is a husky lad, built
alone the substantial lines of Bill
Rodtrera. and hits the ball hard.
Gulgnl signed a contract to play
with Williams several years ago, as did
Reuther. a left-handed pitcher, for
Walter McCredie. Neither nams has
appeared on the Portland reserve lists
and it Is doubtful if they could have
been held.
McCredie says that he will make no
effort to retain Reuther If Pittsburg
or any other club wants him. Reuther
beat Krause In a pitchers' battle the
other day.
Kelly Is also a strong admirer of
Norton, the Colt who will battle with
Nick Williams for first-base berth.
Norton has been playing great ball in
California this Winter. McCredie also
thinks much of Norton, comparing him
to Mike Mitchell when he broke Into
the game on the Coast.
e
Joe Cohn has signed another pitcher.
S. D. Melder, formerly with Omaha and
Sioux City, of the Western League, is
the new man. He did not play last
year, owing to a badly split finger, but
won four out of seven games at Sioux
City in 1911 and winning half of his
games with Omaha in 1910. Middle
Western friends have boosted the lad
to Cohn and Joey figures him one of
the hurling reliables for 1913.. Cohn Is
after one more Western League pitcher.

Liquor Law Violators In Jail.
ALBANY, Or.. Feb. 20. (Special.)
Seven men are now serving time in the
Linn County Jail for selling liquor In
violation of the local option liquor
law. This is the largest number ever
serving in the County Jail here for this
offense at the same time. Thla Is due
to the fact that a special effort has
been made recently to secure evidence
of liquor law violations and to the
further fact that sentences have been
added to fines In almost every case for
violation of this law.
