SHIPPERS REPORT
3 NEW CHARTERS
Two British Ships Will Carry
Cargoes of Lumber for
' Australian Ports.
INVERBERVIE NEW VESSEL
Claverly, Carrying Grain From Port
land to Europe, 13 Reported In
Trouble and Expected -Lighter
Part of Load
to
Three charters made yesterday In
cluded the new British steamer Inver
bervie, of 2729 ions net register; the
British steamer Earl of Douglas and
the British steamer Beachy. The In
verbervie was taken by Thana & Com
pany and loads lumber for Australia,
as does the Earl of Douglas, while the
Beachv was added to the fleet of the
Royal" Mall line to Europe.
The first voyage of the Inverbervie
from England terminated at iMewcasiie,
N S. W and she sailed from there
September 20 for Valparaiso. The Earl
of Douglas put out from Barry Septem
ber 13 for Buenos Ayres and was re
ported sailing from Las Palmas Sep
tember 20. The Beachy Was at Tand
jong Priok October 4, from Newcastle,
x. s. w.
An arrival In the river yesterday
was the Japanese tramp Senju Maru,
which halls from San Francisco and
loads for the Orient In Mitsui & Com
pany's service. She shifts today to the
Portland Flouring Mills Company's
plant from Linnton.
One of the steam fleet bound to
Europe with wheat from Portland was
reported in trouble yesterday, the
British tramp Claverly, which went
ashore at Punta Arena Wednesday,
when on the way to Limerick. A mes
sage to tho Merchant's Exchange was
that her forward compartment was
filled with water and that preparations
were being made to lighter part of her
cargo. The Claverly was under cnar-
ter to Kerr, Glfford & Company ana
left the river September 15 with 202,
siio bushels of wheat, valued at ?168,-
Wpr rare-o was sold recently. She-
was built In 190T at Sunderland and Is
SnO.l feet lone, with a beam ot bu.i
feet and depth of hold of 22.4 feet. She
' was In charge of Captain jveogn ana
her crew numbered 35.
WEIR IEAVES THE PACIFIC
Tardy Notice Given That Steamers
Become) Tramps.
Though Andrew Weir & Co. have not
figured directly in the Oriental trade
out of Portland for two years and the
abandonment of the route was not of
ficially given out. It is reported from
the Far East by steamers reaching
Puget Sound, shippers have been noti
fied that in the future the Weir steam
ers will engage in tramping as more
lucrative than plying in an established
Bervice.
The Weir steamers - were handled
through Frank Waterhouse & Co. One
reason Portland shippers have a vivid
recollection of the fleet is the fact that
for a time higher rates were demanded
for cargo from here than applied out of
Puget Sound. Since the withdrawal
of the Weir liners Portland has been
the gainer through having the Hamburg-American
and Royal Mall making
the port their terminal on the Pacific
Coast. .'
OVERLAP LAW IS IS EFFECT
Steamers Must Sot Obstruct Public
Docks at Street Ends.
Passed with an emergency clause an
ordinance preventing masters of ves
sels from so mooring them that they
overlap street ends on which are lo
cated public docks, becomes effective
immediately, says Harbormaster Speier.
He intends to enforce it at the foot of
Stark street and at public dock No. 1,
which Is under way at the foot of Sev
enteenth street The measure was
passed Wednesday.
It applies particularly to Stark street,
under which are the new motorboat
landing and recreation pier. When it
is completed In another month the aim
will be to keep the float at the end of
. the pier free so launches and small ves
sels may land. Also, on occasions
when aquatic sports draw persons to
the waterfront, they may have an unob
structed view of the river.
ANOTHER JAP TRAMP COMEVG
Sqnarerlgger Off River Believed to
Be Thistlebank.
Tasukuni Maru is the name of a
Japanese tramp discharging coal at
San Francisco that will come here to
load wheat and flour under fixture to
Mitsui & Co., the foodstuffs being des
tined for the Japanese market. The
firm also has the Senju Maru now in
the river, which brought coal from the
ether side to the Golden Gate.
The schooner W. H. Talbot, which
left up yesterday and will be dry
docked here to prepare for loading' a
West Coast lumber cargo, reports that
when nearing the river she sighted a
four-masted bark October 13. It is
believed to be the British bark This
tlebank, which 13 due to load wheat
lor the United Kingdom.
MAIN" ROAD WELL LIGHTED
Few Changes Considered in River
Navigation Aids.
Between Portland and Astoria 83
lighted navigation aids are being main
tained by the Government, according to
Henry L. Beck, Inspector of the 17th
Lighthouse District, who has returned
from a trip over the route that began
with the departure of the steamer
Beaver from here Tuesday. The terri
tory having the most lights is on the
lower end of Tongue Point crossing,
around Taylor Sands, where five buoys
and beacons are located on a stretch
of two miles.
Mr. Beck says that If the Govern
ment engineers will dredge the lower
end of the channel there, as desired by
pilots, which will give the road a
straight course from Harrington Point
to Tongue Point, instead of going
around Taylor Sands as at present,
there will be no difficulty in obtaining
additional lights. There will be slight
changes made in the location of present
lights, nlso one at the lower end of
Puget Island.

Is this the third, or the fourth time it's
been here this dear delight of music.
mirth and manners? What matter how
many times? The audience was as big
in size and as pleased In receiving "The
Chocolate Soldier" last night as the
first Portland audience that gathered
together In the name of entertainment
something over three years ago to hear
that first "Chocolate Soldier."
Charming Antoinette Kopetsky sang
the prima donna role then as now; Lu-
cile Saunders was the buxom, beaute
ous Aurelia then and now; Charles Pur
cell was the Chocolate Soldier, and Is
that gentlemanly soldier of the sweet
tooth now Francis J. Boyle was the
blustering, bigoted blunderbuss. Cap
tain Massakroff, then and now.
Changes Are Compared.
Others in the cast' have changed and
folk out front found themselves com
paring the changes In "The Chocolate
Soldier" Just as one searches the fea
tures of some dearly loved and long-
absent friend who returns. The wel
come was as keen for this returned
loved one, and the searching glances
and problngs deep Into the inner work
ings of the opera bouffe were made In
the same spirit that of looking for
traces of the journey, lines of wearing
and fatigues of age. But none were
there.
The music is still glorious and beau
tiful and one's soul revels quite as much
in the "My Hero" melody as it did that
first memorable night Antoinette Ko
petsky sung it in her velvet-smooth
voice. The years of duty done faithfully
at the shrine of vaudeville, cabaret3,
private entertainments, where the top-
soaring note stirred the ambitious of
amateur Kopetskys, the murderous
whlnlngs of the street organ, the cali-
opes and the little German bands' cruci
fixion of the wonderous big melody
have affected it not at all in a final
weighing.
Beauty Is Undlmmed.
Last night its beauty was undlmmed.
and the dear little Kopetsky came back
generously three tines to sing it for
her enraptured auditors.
It is only once In 40 years that an
Oscar Straus writes a Chocolate Sol
dier." It Is not that often that plots
can be furnished for an opera-bouffe,
and when by accident a plot is secured
the lines are not Inclosed In the parcel
It has become really bad form,' quite
as bad as loving one's own husband or
leaving one's ears uncovered, for musi
cal plays of any sort or description to
boast a plot. The Chocolate Soldier
may well do so. Its plot and its bril
liant repartee was furnished by George
Bernard Show, whom a lot of folk as
sume to dislike because G. B. S. has
their number, and a great many more
pretend not to like, because they can't
understand G. B. S. It Is his justly
famous story "Arms and the Man" that
provides the food for thought in "The
Chocolate Soldier."
Music Straus Best.
It Is Oscar Straus' exquisitely-beau
tiful music that provides the setting.
Straus has never failed to provide a
score that is not Interesting and "The
Chocolate 'Soldier" is considered his
best. It is considerably above the av
erage in musical fittings. It gives
every evidence of loving and careful
consideration. Harmoniously tuneful
throughout, it Is orchestrated with par
ticular ingenuity and comprehensive
detail. The waltz refrain Is lovely and
haunting, and some of Its numbers.
DESCRIPTION OF MISSING ED

Edgar B. AyerJ
As part of a Nation-wide search
for Edgar B. Ayer, who disap
peared from his home in Boston,
Mass., August 25,. the police yes
terday received a circular, photo

especially the finale in the second act,
are almost grand opera in ambitious
quality.
Madame Kopetsky, as Nadine, has a
role that suits her engaging person
ality and beautiful voice to the utmost.
Her singing of "My Hero" was truly
electrifying, evidencing the fine native
material of which she is possessed. Be
sides all of which, she is an admirable
and wholly delightful actress.
Old Favorite Daughter Appears.
Lottie Collins, daughter of the fa
mous Lottie Collins of "Ta-ra-ra-boom-
de-aye" memory sings the role of
Mascha, In a big, rich voice. She Is
vivacious and her acting sparkles.
Charles Purcell, the chocolate soldier,
has a pure, limpid tenor of illimitable
possibilities and is additionally inter
ests histronically. George Tallman has
a good voice and a presence that fits
well the royal requirements of Mayor
Alexius, bethrothed of Nadine. Syl
valn Langlois, as Casimlr, is an admir
able actor. Francis J. Boyle affords
comedy as the mighty Massakroff, and
Luclle Saunders plays capably the role
of Aurelia in a capital manner and
sings it even better.
Tonight, tomorrow afternoon and to
morrow night "The Chocolate Soldier"
will hold forth again at the Heilig.

songs.
Then came the big scream of the
evening. "Big Al Stephens Intro
duced "The Four Cabaret Girls." who
came skipping into the dining-room,
singing and accompanying themselves
on guitars and mandolins. They were
encored till they had sung almost their
entire repertory. The next big hit
was "The Tango Dancers."
John Clair Monteith, director of the
Unitarian Church choir, sang a couple
of solos and Ralph Myer played the
piano and then Jimmie Dunn made a
howling hit with his coster stories and
his comic cockney songs.
Clay pipes and tobacco and sweet
cider and dougnnuts were furnished by
the league for the entertainment of its
members and several boxes of cigars
were donated by Mr. Rosenthal for those
who could not do Justice to the pipes.

hension of outbreaks between striking
miners and mine guards, accentuated
by an attack upon the strikers' colony
at Aguilar today, caused Adjutant

ammunition from other sections of the
strike zone are arriving by the wagon
load. Receipts are being. given to in
dividual owners of the contraband
weapons, and according to present
plans the weapons will be returned

load of arms which was reported trav
elins eastward of Trinidad. The cav
alry returned, however, without having
found trace of the wagon.

the street was the incentive to strik

at the Delaqua camp that it would be
assaulted before morning. The mine
guards there deserted the camp leaving
only a few nonunion miners to defend

Choosing
Appropriate
Millinery
French women believe that the
hat "makes" the costume. It is this
belief that has led them to spend
so much thought on head gear and
they stand pre-eminent in the world
of millinery.
Some women have an idea that
French hats are things of myKterl
ous intricacy. Nothing could be
farther from the truth, for, 011 the
whole, they are extremely simple.
The only mysterious quality they
have is "style" and It is Just this
quality that all women desire most.
Not every woman can buy im
ported hats, but she can read about
them, seo them pictured or de
scribed in the best newspapers and,
when she has educated her percep
tions in this way, she will be de
lighted to find that our American
designers and manufacturers are
turning out beautiful copies and
adaptations that equal and perhaps
excel the French standard and have
the advantage of beinu within tho
reach of her purse.
By reading such newspapers as
The Oregonian carefully she can not
only educate her tawte, but at the
same time spare her pockutbook.
