T1TE MORNING iORKfJOXTAX. FRIDAY, .JANUARY 2, 1914. 15 SAILING LAPSE - DUE Rose City Held at San Fran cisco for Repairs. AINSWORTH DOCK JS CLEAR J-'or First Time In Six Months Xo FYcight Is Held Over Awaiting Shipment and Bear Clears With Some Space Left. For the first time 4n over six months AInsworth dock Is clear of freight awaiting shipment to California and as there will be no steamer - to get away for 10 days, owing- to the Rose City having been held at San Francisco for repairs. General' Agent "Wells and his staff have reason to feel that the new year opened auspiciously. ' The steamer Bear sailed at 4 o'clock yesterday and on her went the last pound of cargo that had been delivered rax the dock. She did not have a full load, though little space was left. She had. 160 cabin passengers and nearly 100 In the. steeragre. Captain No- ler sent greetings from the ship to those ashore with three whistles as the liner was about to pass through the Broadway bridge, and he Is seriously considering a suggestion for amending the International signal .code, which lacks flags signifying "Merry Christ mas," "Happy New Year" or "Greet ings." To send such salutation would have required a number of flags, so It was omittted. The Ainsworth dock force was the recipient yesterday of an annual card from the men constituting the com pany's staff on pier 40, San Francisco. It was a painting showing the steamers Bear, Beaver and Rose City entering the Golden Gate at midnight and on a piece of heavy paper, attached to the card with red ribbon, were the signa tures of the San Francisco contingent. Itfhas been customary for years for the two forces to exchange cards. Dr. Charles Blllington assumed his duties yesterday as surgeon for the line here, succeeding Dr. David Nelson, who served over four years 'and re signed last month. A medical officer in retained to guard against contagious diseases being carried aboard the ves Steward Martin, of the Bear, was the author of an attractive menu card for last night's dinner aboard, which In cluded a selection of New Year edibles, from celery to "plum duff." MKXICAX BUSIXKSS SOUGHT North l'acific Obtains Steamer to Start Opposition. From San Francisco sources comes information that the North Pacific steamship Company, handling the Roanoke, Yucatan, George W. Elder and Alliance from here, has secured the steamer Cetriana with which to invade the Mexican field, and that she is to load at San Francisco January 15 to 20 for Mazatlan, San Bias and Mahzanillo, calling Ht Los Angeles on the way. The Pacific Mall has oper atcd on the route for years In connec lion with its Panama and South American schedule, and the Jebsen line has used the steamer Jason In the same field. The entrance of the North Pacific into competition with' the established lines may gain for Portland many ad vantages should rates be cut, but, ship ments from here will have to be transferred at San Francisco the same as has been the case when routed via the ian Francisco & Portland steam ers and turned over to the Pacific Mail within the Golden Gate. NAVY ITSXISTMENTS GAIN Ueeruitlnfr Office Here Gathers 314 .Men During Year. Uncle Sam's Navy gained 116 more recruits through the Portland office In 1913 than for the preceding year, the total accepted having been S14 men. For 1912 the enlistments reached 198. During four weeks ending Christ mas day, 68 men wqre passed as fit. whlfch Is rated as an unusually good showing. Besides petting more material from this territory It Is said the class of men Is decidedly acceptable, which Is largely attributed to the fact many having trades are drawn Into the serv ice owlnjr to opportunities for advance ment, while men following laboring vocations, who are not busily engaged In Winter, frequently select the Navy as their future sphere. The assump tion that the opening of the Panama Canal will mean the regular move ment of Nai;y vessels from one coast to another, also permitting frequent ex change of stations between vessels of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, may stimulate enlistments In advance of 1915. NORTHljANT BIDS SCANNED Kassal to Be Repaired at Steel Plant In Eight Days. Portland shipbuilders and marine contractors gathered aboard the steam er Northland yesterday with Captain Bodge and Consulting Engineer Tom- linson, of 'the Dodge line, to go over details of bids filed for repairs to the vessel and instructions are looked for from the San Francisco office today as to the award, the bids tiavins been tel egraphed there last night. It Is hoped to start repairs tomorrow. The Beglian ship Kassal, which was Injured forward when struck by the Northland, was towed to the plant of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works from the stream yesterday, that firm having been awarded a contract to re pair her for $2400. She Is to be ready for sea In eight days. , CUT FUEL BECOMES SCARCE Mills. Running Part Time, Reduce Supply for Dredges. To provide sufficient cut fuel and sawdust to keep the dredges of the Port of Portland suing ' on channel work is a problem being wrestled with by that department and stuff is being gathered frQm several points, as some of the sawmill plants are not running full tun1, owlnj? to the holidays. The dredge Portland has about five days' work at Morgan's Bar and if fuel ran be delivered to her she will finish and bo towed into the harbor in an other week to start digging that has been in contemplation for some time. The dredge Willamette Is In North Portland harbor and should finish the channel there this month. The Colum bia is getting results In dredging bo hind Sand Island in opening the marine Toad to Fort Canby. None of the crews labored yesterday. t COLUSA LOADS AT WAUNA (Jrcuno Finishing and Lord Sefton Shifts to Linnton.

The Lord Sefton, also loading for the Far Cast, left Inman-Poulsen s yesterday afternoon. In tow of the steamers Hen derson and Cascades, for the Clark & Wilson mill, at Llnnton. FORESTER IN FROM CALIAO Failure of Inveravon to Arrive Can cels Her Grain Charter. Completing the voyage from Callao In 61 days the schooner Forester was towed into the river yesterday by the tug Oneonta. She is believed to have been mistaken for a ship when off the river Wednesday night, a report to which effect was responsible for spec ulation as to whether the Chile had not made a' speedy passage. However, there having been no Information to the contrary sent by the Port of Port land tug masters, a. squarerigger may be outside. The Inveravon has been on the way about 90 days from Callao and her fail ure to arrive Wednesday tost her own ers a gram charter, she having been engaged by M. H. Houser at 42s d. The Clyde and Inverurie left down yester day with grain for the United King dom, being the first of the squarerig gers handling cereal to depart In '1914. i LOWER RIVER BUSINESS BIG More Than 4 00 Vessels Sail -With Lumber During 1913.

While the weather conditions outside the mouth of the river were slightly lmnroved todav the bar Is still rough and no vessel with the exception of the bar tug Was able to cross out, although a few came In. Owing to the strong swell running the tide was unusually high, but no damage of note resulted. The steamer St. .Helens reports en countering the garb with high seas all the way up the Coast. In fact, when crossing out of the Golden Gate she shipped seas that filled her deck and smashed a few of the barrels of oil. ' . . SCHOONER HAS SLOW TRIP Forester Reaches Columbia After 62 Days From Callao. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 1 (Special.) The schooner Forester, which arrived today from Callao, reports an unevent ful but slow trip of 62 days up the coast. As she was being towed up the harbor one of her anchors slipped overboard and about 100 fathoms of chain ran out, bringing the schooner and the tup "up-standing," but no dam age resulted The chain did not snap and the anchor was soon nauiea up. Three members of the schooner's crew are sick, but are not In a serious condition. Off THlamook yesterday morning the Forester sighted a four-masted bark that apparently was beaded for the Co lumbia River. Marine Notes. Preparatory to sailing today with freight and passengers, the McCormick steamer Multnomah left down for bt. Helens yesterday to take on the last of her lumber. Chief Dowell. of the fire department. made an Inspection of the new munici pal boat landing at the foot of Stark street yesterday and pronounced it an Improvement long in demand. He spoke of the good effect the concrete walls on each side of the fill would have In the event of a fire beneath docks on the south, and said one menace on the waterfront would be eliminated when property owners bulkheaded beneath docks- and the Port of Portland filled behind them. On the Royal Mail liner Den of Air- lie, due in another week from Europe and the Far East, are consignments from Antwerp, Rotterdam and London for- Portland, in addition to Oriental stuff. - Parrott fc Company have given it out at San Francisco that owing to the amount of- cargo offered for ship ment on the motorshlp Siam for Dalny and Vladivostock, it has been decided to eliminate calls at Japanese ports.

The saloons of this city closed their doors last night In accordance with .the vote against licensing: of saloons and thla city again entered the "dry" column,- This is no new experience for this city, for during the past 10 or 12 years the records show the city to have been voted wet and dry at Intervals of one or two years. It is thought that the male vote would have been strongly In favor of licensing: saloons, for with 355 women voting, the city went dry by only 4a votes out of Ti3 cast.
