BULL RUN WATER
URGED FOR SHIPS
Steamers Carrying Passen
gers Asked to Advertise
Use of Portland Supply.
BOND ISSUE IS ARRANGED
cess of her showing? a year ago, while
the steamer Harvest Queen, operating;
principally to Astoria from here, sained
178 passengers.
"There were 13 coaches on Sunday
evening's train from the beach, and ap
proximately 700 passengers were
aboard that embarked either on the
hotter. Hassalo or Nahcotta," said
"Captain" Budd yesterday. "North
Beach is crowded this month, anil with
weather conditions ideal, it promises to
De one or the most successful seasons
that Summer resort has exnerienc-ed
Of course, passengers are given the
oenent 01 raster transportation facili
ties, and with the Potter operating on
a daily round-trip schedule, and the
Hassalo and Queen leaving here at
night. travelers from intermediate
points also have the advantage of bet
ter service."
City Attorney Kules Tliat Recrea
tion Section May Be Provided on
Public Dock, Playground
Fund Bearing Expense.
Steamship lines operating out of
Portland that carry passengers are to
be asked to advertise on menu cards
and otherwise that Bull Run water is
served, a move suggested by the Com
mission of Public Docks, in apprecia
tion of the fact the best water on the
Pacific Coast has been placed at the
disposal of all line3 at the cheapest
rates. Incidentally, it will serve as a
guarantee to passengers, it is argued,
that they may partake freely of the
water without fear.
The commission has decided to have
copies of the water tariff sent to ves
sel owners here and along the Coast,
as well as to all agents of foregn
lines, so all may be familiar with
i harges and at the same time be in
formed that all required for a vessel
to secure water, regardless of whether
a pipe connection is available on the
river side of a dock is to apply to
Harbormaster Speier, and he will direct
the delivery of hose and attend to
measuring the amount of water re
ceived. Steamship agents say the arrange
ments for delivering water stand as
amone; the best moves in the interest
of shipping made here in years.
Ilonds Dated September 1.
While in session yesterday th Com
mission provided for dating all bonds
contained in issues to be made next
month, aggregating $1,000,000, Septem
ber 1, and bids will be opened Sep
tember 4, though delivery will be made
of one series of $750,000 on September
IS and of $250,000 remaining October 1.
In the latter lot will be $200,000 in
bonds of $100 each and $30,000 of de
nominations of $500. Buyers of bonds
will have to pay accrued interest from
September 1 and in the case of persons
purchasing $100 bonds they will be
called on for 42 cents as the amount
of accrued interest for one month. The
bonds draw 5 per cent Interest and run
for 30 years.
City Attorney I.a Roche, in an opin
ion filed, approved a contract entered
Into with the Lewis A. Hicks Company
for the construction of the first unit
of Public Dock No. 1, but said the bond
accompanying it. should be executed
through an agent In this state, instead
of San Francisco, as had been done.
He also pointed out changes required
in the contingent liability policy, and
they were ordered returned to the con
tractors, together with the legal opin
ion, for correction.
Recreation Section Allowed.
In another opinion Mr. La Roche held
that the Commission had power and
authority to provide for recreation fa
cilities on the roof of Public Dock No.
to be built between East Oak and
East Washington streets, but that ad
ditional expense should be borne by the
playground fund, also that that source
should be drawn on for equipment.
G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer of the
Commission, said that to use posts
beneath the arches of the upper dock
so as to support the additional weight
of the recreation section, was objected
to, owing to bother that would result
to teamsters in the warehouse and in
hampering the handling of cargo. To
use posts, he said, would cost $10,000
extra and the cost of the structure
above -would be $25,000 additional. To
substitute steel trusses for the wooden
trusses provided In the plans, said Mr.
Hegardt. so as to eliminate posts, would
mean an extra expenditure of $100,000.
The dance pavilions proposed at each
end of the dock, 50x100 feet, were re
garded too small and it was suggested
that the size be doubled.
It was decided to designate Commis
sioners Burgard and Kellaher a com
mittee to be joined by Mr. Hegardt and
confer with the parks and playgrounds
committee and the Commission of Pub
lic Affairs, in arranging details so ,
definite action could be taken. Com
missioner Kellaher thought that one
of the Kast Side street ends might be
used instead in-providing a dance pa
vilion and swimming tank, probobly a
skating rink also, and the top of the
Kast Side dock could then be arranged
only for seating a number of persons
that might spend their time there Sum
mer evenings or during entertainments
on the river.

NORTH BEACH CROWD GROWS
OTcr 17.000 Persons Kide on "Clam
Shell" Route in July.
Nearly 2500 more passengers traveled
by water to North Beach in July than
In the same month last year and
virtually 1500 more were carried on the
railroad between Megler and Nahcotta
than for the corresponding period last
year, according to "Captain" E. R.
Budd, head of the fifth division of the
O.-W. R. & N.. who, as superintendent
of the steamers and railroad, keeps his
finger on the Summer pulse.
The total number of travelers who
Tode by rati between Megler and Nah
cotta was 17.535 last month, and the
increase Is given as 1498 persons, while
the steamer T. J. Potter, operating 27
days in July, carried 397 passengers

Aberdeen Lumber Shipments Biff.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) The departure of 46 vessels,
foreign and coastwise, carrying 37,212,
000 cubic feet, comprises the Aberdeen
lumber record for the month. This is
scarcely normal, but is a good showing
considering lumber conditions. Last
month b4 vessels loaded here and car
ried 43,000.000 feet. The tonnage of
steamers is growing larger each month.
The sailing vessels are not being forced
out of the trade, but more steamers
are added to the fleet each year. With
in the past 12 months three large
steamers have been placed in the lum
br business between, this port and California.
Marine Notes.
On the American-Hawaiian steamer
Paraiso. sailing yesterday for San Fran

Francisco & Portland fleet, is again in
charge of loading the liners after a
respite of two weeks spent on Puget
Sound and. in British Columbia, where
he was on a quest for good fishing,
but says the American trout are the
most frolicsome after all.
Work of discharging ballast from the
British ship Milverton. which is at
Llnnton from Callalo, was started
yesterday. The vessel is to load grain
next month for Europe.
Longshoremen began loading 2000

barrels of grease.
To load lumber for San Francisco,
her cargo to consist of 750.000 feet,
the steamer Shoshone shifted to Oak

BULL MOVE HALTS
Efforts to Advance Price of
Hops Unsuccessful.
LITTLE TRADING IS DONE
One SIc at 2 0 Cents Reported but
Most Eujers Hold Offers Down
to i 7 Cents Farmers Pre
pare to Pick Crop.
Although there is an evident underground
bull movement in the hop market, there has
been no advance In price In the last lO
days. la fact, the market Is not even
strengthening. In some quarters it is said
to be weakening.
Reports from the Oregon hop fields in
dicate a crop of superior quality and of a
quantity as previously predicted approxi
mately 125,000 bales. With a continuation
of favorable weather the Oregon crop this
year will be one of the biggest and best in
recent years.
In spite of the approach of the picking
season, farmers are not inclined to sell.
On the other band, buyers are not making
any offers. None of the dealers seem will
ing to pay more than 17 cents, but. Inas
much as the farmers are not anxious about
selling, no business Is being done, even at
that figure.
It was reported yesterday that Louis
Lachmund, of Salem, had bought 12,000
pounds of fuggles from John Krebs at 20
cents. These hops are said to be for
English account.
Cables from England and the Continent
bring tidings of good -weather. The crop
in Germany will be heavy, it is reported.
Many of the large Oregon yards are
laying plans for the picking season. Pickers
are being engaged in Portland. Very lit
tle picking will be done, however, before the
first of the month.
M'CLOSKET SELLS ILLS WHEAT CROP
Inland Empire Producer Markets 30,000
Bushels at Early Figure.
Senator McCloskey, of Garfield, who is
one of the so-called big farmers in the
Inland Empire, has sold his entire crop
amounting to about 20,000 bushels. His
action in this respect will have far-reaching
nfluence with farmers in that locality to
sell grain early this season; in fact, farmers
all over are showing tendency to realize on
their crops earlier this season, attributable
no doubt to the fact that prices have
started out five cents higher this year;
club wheat selling for 67c and blues tern
at TO cents.
THE DALLES PROMISES BIG CROPS
Fruit Season Is On Hop Yield to Be Good.
Corn Ioing Well.
Recent reports from The Dalles show that
the fruit business is on and both quality and
prices are good. Some of the pears in the
lower valley are frost damaged, which will
affect the price, although it will not af
fect the yield.-
Hops are doing well and picking will
commence early in September. The ex
tremely' hot weather for the past two weeks
has been very beneficial to the corn crop.
The acreage is double that of previous years
with every indication of a first-class crop.
Grain Market Is Quiet.
There Is little activity in the grain mar
ket now. Farmers are busy harvesting
their crops and do not care to listen to the
buyers' offers. Prices remain unchanged.
Club wheat for export lias been quoted at
77 cents, but none is moving at that figure.
The barley market also is quiet and
maybe a little stronger in tone. Farmers
are not selling any. Feed barley Is quoted
at $23.30. and brewing barley at $24 and $25.
Portland grain receipts, in cars; as re
ported by the Merchants Exchange, are as
follows; ,

Peach Stock Said to Be Poor.
Heavy shipments of peaches continue to
come into the local market. The quality is
none of the best. It is said. Many peaches
rot on the way. This is said to be due to
the wet weather experienced when the fruit
was ripening. Many shipments are being
sacrificed at whatever they will bring. Large
quantities are going on Front street at 30
and 35 cents a box.

Oats Goes Tp With Corn Harvest

Points at the Close.
CHICAGO. Aug. 12. Estimate, that the
corn crop had shrunk aoo.OOO.OOO bushels
since August 1 exerted a powerful effect
today In lifting the market. Closing prices
were firm at a net advance of jflt; to 14
&lc Wheat showed a gain of to
?iHc, and oats a rise of fc to c.
In provisions the -outcome was a decline of
fe5c to ST'.io.
According to well-known experfp, the ex
traordinary new damage that Is alleged to
have diminished the corn yield has been
ascertained by a widespread Investigation as
to barren stalks. The injury said to have
been demonstrated is charged to severe and
unusual weather conditions at the fertilizing
season.
Incessant dry hot weather In the Kouth-w-est
more than offset in the corn pit any
advantage the bears might have obtained
from rains in portions of the country nearer
Chicago. Generally former -holders replaced
lines, and there was much new investment
due partly to receipts here being unusually
small. Liberal profit-takiug sales on the
advance brought about only a moderate re
action from the top figures of the day.
Black rust reports Irom Manitoba and
North Dakota helped cause a rally in wheat.
It was also asserted the export and milling
demand had improved.
Oats rose with corn and because of the
smallness of offerings,.
Provisions broke sharply. Dry weather
holdings were too plentiful at Western
packing centers and there was only a poor
call for cash product.

ADVICE KEEPS UP
Stock Market Continues Its
Upward Trend.
STEEL AND READING LEAD
Wall Street Now - Considers Secre
tary McAdoo's Crop-Financing
Plan Favorably and Bull
Action Jtesults.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Impelled by a
variety of influences, many of them ad
mittedly favorable, today's stock market
renewed its recent advance, the rise em
bracing more than the usual number of
securities In practically all divisions of the
list. Trading approximated 550,000 shares,
which far exceeded any session of recent
months.
Steel. Reading and Union Pacific at no
time relinquished their positions as leaders.
Trading in steel, which aggregated over
25 per cent of the whole, was again re
markable for the large lots which changed
hands.
It Is interesting as showing the state
of the speculative mind that much of the
improved sentiment is attributed to the in
tention of the Treasury Department, an
nounced some time ago, to finance the
crops. When this was first made known
the financial district manifested something
more than mild resentment and openlv
denounced the commercial paper feature of
the programme as savoring of "inflation.
Now a considerable faction refers to the
Government's action as a bull argument,
reasoning that not only will It relieve this
center of any monetary strain, but will
actually bring to It a large share of the
crop money, where it will find an outlet.
Formation of the Southern Pacific syndi
cate, with its world-wide ramifications, was
also accepted as a sign that the bankers
are not averse to a further advance in
quoted values. Coppers were helped by an
advance In the metal to 18 cents. Additional
ease in long time money was indicated, with
an enlarged demand from interior points
for commercial paper at 8 per cent, a re
duction of one-fourth per cent.

SEWERAGE IS STUDIED
PLAX, TO DRAIX PEXIXSTTLA IS
BEIXG SOUGHT.
Dredging of Columbia Slougli Not to
Be Attempted Until Other AVays
Are Considered.
A comprehensive investigation to de
termine the most feasible plan of es
tablishing a general sewer system in
the FVnlneula districts to replace the
present cesspool system has been be
gun by City Commissioner Dieck. During-
the investigation and until a gen
eral plan of procedure is worked out.
the dredging of Columia Slough, to
create a current there for the removal
of sewage, will not be attempted under
the ordinance passed by the last ad
ministration appropriating- $2000 for
the work and for investigation pur
poses. Commissioner Dieck is to make a
study of the drainage of the entire city
before reaching- any conclusions as to
the best means of extending mains
through the Peninsula. A plan of mak
ing more scientific extensions of trunk
sewers and working in the lateral or
feed mains will be one of the most
serious considerations.
For years residents of the Penin
sula districts have been asking for
sewers, but as yet no feasible plans
have been worked out. The old City
Council, shortly before the completion
general sewer system to Columbt
siougn and made an appropriation ot
$2000 to cover the cost of making sur
veys and pushing work on the estab
lishment of a dam at the head of the
slough and dredging of the channel so
as to create a stream of water to carry
the sewage to the Columbia Rtver.
Dahlia Show Arranged.
At the last meeting of the Dahlia
Society plans for Portland's first dahlia
show were discussed in detail. The
dates for the event will be September
24 and 25. A thousand circular letters
have been sent out to amateur dahlia
growers and it is expected that a large
number of fine specimens will be en
tered. A list of nine different classes
has been prepared with a total of 41
different kinds of dahlias. There will
be a. first and second prize in each
entry list. There will be separate ones
for cactus dahlias, decorative, peony
and show dahlias. Between 700 and
800 varieties probably will be shown.
R. W. Gill is president of the Dahlia
Society. E. H. White is secretary and
the committee of arrangements in
eludes Ralph Routledge, Eugene O'Hara
and E. H. White.
