ROCK DUMPING TO
BEGIN FEBRUARY 2
Government Engineers Decide
on Ten Months' Work at
- North Jetty.
TASK WILL BE HURRIED
Thousand Tons Dally to Be Depos
ited at Start but as Facili
. tics Improve 4 000 Tons Will
Be Delivered Eucli Day.
February 2 Is the date set by Gov
ernment engineers for starting actual
rock dumping on the north jetty, ex
tending from a draw to the north
ward of Cape Disappointment into the
Pacific in a general southwesterly di
rection. It is estimated that at least
10 months' work will be prosecuted be
fore storms of "Winter force a cessation
of operations.
Orders have been issued for the Co
lumbia Contract- Company, which bar
gained to furnish rock, to start its
barges that day, and while for the first
Jew days it is planned to dump only
iibout 1000 tons, as channel conditions
improve so barges can be towed to Fort
Canby at all stages of water, and more
derricks rise on the dock for handling
material, the dally deliveries will be
added to until more than 4000 tons are
handled.
The start is being made 'earlier than
was customary when the south jetty
was under construction and the only
delay will be continuation of storms
such have prevailed during the past
few weeks. A small amount of rock
was dumped last year to serve as a
. protection to a part of the trestle In
place, but now the undertaking will go
ahead as fast as facilities will permit.
The best work accomplished on the
south Jetty ordinarily was 4000 tons
ft day and it is said that had rock
been available fully 4300 tons could
have been delivered along the trestle.
For lifting that rock 10 derricks
were in place on the Fort Stevens
dock and another was used for special
material. Yet but eight of the rack
derricks were in service because of the
limited amount of material barged
there. At Fort Canby six derricks will
be erected the latter part of this month,
a battery sufficient to handle all deliv
eries for a short time. There will be
10 in all and the others will be erected
without lelay, also two additional for
lifting other loads.
Tho Port of Portland dredge Colum
bia has made such progress on the
channel north of Sand Island, even in
the face of rough weather that has
twice put the pipeline out of commis
sion, that little delay is looked for in
setting barges across, though for a
time tides will have to be depended on.
The Columbia will finish in less than
two months, but in advance of that
time the channel will be in condition
to accommodate barges at any stage
of water.
About 1000 feet of trestle has been
built and so long as it can be extended
rock will continue to be transported
toward its end by trains, and the
trestle can be pushed seaward during
favorable weather, but the pile-driver
crow must cease during storms.
IXSCRAXCE MAY BE LOWERED
t'se of Wireless Should Influence
Hates, Say Mariners.
Steam schooner owners who have in
stalled wireless on their vessels are
considering a move to induce the un
derwriters to lowef insurance on
steamers so protected. The present rate
is 8 per cent and it is declared that hot
to exceed 6 per cent should be charged,
because, with the aero apparatus, the
danger of vessels being lost at sea is
minimized.
The subject has been brought up as a
result of damage sustained during the
blow of Friday night and Saturday by
the steamers Yellowstone and Fair
Oaks, neither of which has wireless. It
chanced that they were near each other
and the Fair Oaks helped the Yellow
stone for a time, but was compelled to
put into Coos Bay for help. Had either
ha-d wireless, it 13 averred, assistance
could have been sent from the Coast or
more likely a passing steamer sum
moned. Instead of the Yellowstone be
ing left rudderless and adrift. Vessel
owners say they receive little direct
benefit from wireless compared with
the cost of maintenance, except in
time of danger to their ships or those
of others, and that the equipment is
really in the nature of insurance.
COOS BAY'S SKIPPER YOUXG
Mann Smith and Adeline Smith. Sel
dom Pass Idle Days.
"Our youngest skipper," is the appel
lation given Captain William Magee, of
the steamer Nan Smith, plying between
Coos Bay and San Francisco, by Marsh
field citizens. Captain Magee is visit
ing here and has been so introduced by
Captain Macgenn, of the steamer Break
water. Captain Magee is 26 years of age and
son of a veteran tugboat master of
Coos Bay. While one of the youngest
masters or oeep sea vessels in service
today, he is also among the highest
paid on this Coast, tho C. A. Smith
Lumber Company, operating the Nann
Smith and Adeline Smith, adhering to a
policy of the highest salaries consist
ent with good work. Last year the
Nann Smith made a round voyage about
very six days and transported close to
80,000,000 feet of lumber. So regularly
Is the Nann Smith operated that she
cften reaches Coos Bay in the morning
and is on her way to sea by night, her
cargo being stowed In special slings
and it is discharged in the same manner
at San Francisco. As his vessel is be
ing overhauled. Captain Magee is en
Joying a vacation.
CHEVOOK'S DOCKIXG DELAYED
Breaking of Two Valve Castings Ne
cessitates Floating Vessel Again.
Through the breaking of two valve
castings on the Port of Portland dry
dock at St. Johns yesterday, the lifting
of the big Government dredge Chinook
has been delayed. The task of raising
the Chinook was well started when the
accident occurred.
Arrangements were made for having
new castings made at once, and they
ure to be ready today. The Chinook
is to have her stern bearing replaced
and her hull will be cleaned and
painted as well. Because of her length
she will occupy tho entire dock.
DAXCE ON" ROSTOV FORMAL
Naval Militiamen Decide on New In
vitation Scheme.
Focial affairs planned on the cruiser
Boston by the Oregon Naval Militia
will include a party February 4 to
which women and girls employed by
Meier & Frank will receive bids. The
enlisted men are to have two dances
a month and will follow a new system.
as neretororo the affairs, which usu
ally followed drills or inspections, have
been public. How the next invitation
list will be made, up has not been de
cided. As the gun deck of the Boston Is
coated with shellac, wax cannot be
used ad vantageously thereon, so for
dances the militiamen resort to sprink
ling cornmeal. The Militia band is fast
making- a name for itself and is grow
ing in numbers as well as advancing
in proficiency, so that it is in popular
demand for dances.
TWO SCnOOXERS CRIPPLED
Oceania Vance Suffers in Saturday's
Gale as Well as Nokomis.
SEATTLE, Jan. 20. The tug- Tyee
sends word by wireless that she is com
ing up the Strait of Fuca with the
schooners Nokomis and Oceania Vance
in tow, having picked them up disabled
off Cape Flattery. The Nokomis, when
taken in charge, had a starboard list,
canvas torn and was unable to sail off
shore, while she was on her beam ends
most of the time.
The Oceania Vance had her deckload
of lumber partly gone, her house dam
aged, skylight carried away, masts
crippled and the hold probably half full

of water. Both vessels were out in the
heavy gales of last week. .
With a lumber cargo loaded here the
schooner Nokomis was on the way to
Payta, Peru, having sailed from the
Columbia River Saturday at noon. The
Oceania Vance evidently had a much
harder time of it than her list of dam
age indicated, for she is reported to
have sailed from Everett December 30,
and has been in the thick of recent
storms.
PORT MANAGER'S TRIP DAMP
Vessel Owners Get Into Line and Di
vert Business to Public Drydock.
Rain at every point in California as
far south as Los Angeles, with snow
in the Siskiyous five feet deep in some
places, were what Mark Talbot, man
ager of the Port of Portland, found
on a trip he ended yesterday on reach
ing home. He says Oregon rain is much
more gentle than the pelting sort in
Los Angeles.
Regarding the coming of the Kosmos
line to Portland on a regular schedule,
Mr. Talbot says he has heard talk, but
received no confirmation at San Fran
cisco. His trip In the interest of the
public drydock and towage and pilot
age service, he says, leads him to be
lieve that the increase in patronage
during 1913 will be continued this year
among vessels owned on the Coast,
with reason to expect more business
with the coming of fleets via the canal.
Marine Notes.
Captain A. N. Smith has been signed
as skipper of the river steamer Beaver,
relieving Captain Vic Dagerstedt.
To load lumber for China the Brit
ish steamer Bessie Dollar put out from

days by the owners.
As the steamer Alliance did not reach
Coos Bay on her return from Eureka

SEA TROUBLE BODED
Skipper of Philadelphia Suspi
cious of Crew on Sailing.
FRIENDS SCOUT CHARGES
Captain Lawrence Is Declared to
Have Wide Reputation as Able
Navigator of Old School.
Visits Here Are Many. .
"I anticipate trouble this trip. I have
been forced to ship a crew of 'dock
rats.' I rather suspicion there's more
than one 'sea lawyer' among them.
With a gang like that no skipper can
MADE PRISONER BY CREW
BRITISH SHIP PHILADELPHIA.
afford to do else than keep his eyes
peeled."
This was what Captain Henry Law
rence, master of the British full-rigged
ship Philadelphia said, the Sunday be
fore he dropped down to Astoria from
Portland. Tho Philadelphia has just
put in to San Francisco in tow and the
crew was said to have had Captain
Lawrence virtually a prisoner and to
have preferred charges of drunkenness
against him before the British Consul.
Portland friends of Captain Lawrence
discredit any charges that might come
from the crew. They point out that
Captain Lawrence has a sea-wide repu
tation among mariners, as being a
staunch sailing master of the old
school. They declare that there has
never before been placed a charge
against him of being drunk.
When talking with Portland neonle
Captain Lawrence criticised the mem
bers of the crew he had been forced to
ship here.
"Who'd sell a farm .nd go to sea?"
he remarked sarcastically, as he point
ed to the fo'cas'le crowd. "These chaps
are more at home in a Burnside-street
bar telling stories of their heroism at
sea. I'll bet that I could not get half
of them to clew up the royals in any
thing more than half a gale."
captain Lawrence has bean sailing
into the Portland harbor for many
years; in fact, three generations of Col
umbia River pilots have brought Can-
tain Lawrence np to Portland George
A, Pease, his son. Archie Pease, nnrf th
latter's son, Le Roy Pease.
Captain Lawrence has manv friends
in Portland and they were unanimous
in scouting the charges.
One of his friends here said: "The
British government made Captain Law
rence a member of the Royal Naval Re
serve, which Is not commonly done with
captains who have the reputation of
annKlng. He has binoculars from
boards of trade, medals from foreign
governments and an assortment of tro
phies of that nature as the result of
rescuing crews and ships at sea.-
He was the type of captain who
would not tolerate mutiny or disobe
dience, and he intimated to me that at
no time had he ever or would he ever
'give up the ship." He said he had been
compelled to ship the riff-raff of the
Portland wharves and remarked, 'I
can smell trouble in the air." "

and L. H. McMahan, Progressives.
In the first district, comprising the
Willamette Valley and Southern Ore
gon. W. C. Hawley, Republican, will
be a candidate for re-election to Con
gress. Opposing him in the primary
B. F. Jones, of Roseburg, may be a
candidate. O. P. Coshow has been men
tioned as a Democratic possibility,
though he himself said positively when
in Portland recently that he had no
Intention of running.
In the second district, comprising
Eastern Oregon, N. J. Sinnott, Repub
lican, from present indications, wtil

Incumbent, will run to succeed himself
C. N. McArthur, Speaker of the House
in the 1909 and 1913 Legislatures, will
oppose Lafferty for the Republican
nomination. George S. Shepherd, Re
publican, and Arthur I. Moulton. Pro
gressive, are expected to enter the race
snortly, while among the Democrats
tne name of John H. Stevenson, Municl
pal Judge of Portland, is widely men
tioned. B. E. Kennedy Is also dis
cussed as a prospective Progressive
candidate against Mr. Moulton.
Though for a time he was regarded
as a possible candidate for Governor,
i nomas jb. Aay, Republican, present
state Treasurer, in all probability will
a candidate to succeed himself.
-t rlends of W illiam Adams. City Treas
urer of Portland, have urged hini to
maice tne race, but if Kay announces
himself. Adams is not likely to enter.
iNO otner candidates have been dis
cussed to any extent.
A. M. Crawlord's decision to run for
Governor after 12 years as Attornev-
General was followed by two announce
ments for his present office. Frank S
Grant, ex-City Attorney of Portland,
ana George M. Brown, of Roseburg,
Dotn Republicans, are the present as
pirants. J. J. Fitzgerald, of Portland,
ex-chief deputy under District Attor
ney Cameron, may enter the race. The
name of W. P. Lord, of Salem, son of
the late Governor Lord, Is also heard
l Republican possibility. .Henry
Hoy, of Marshfield, is mentioned by the
progressives.
l-'our Justices to Be C'hoKcii.
Four Justices of the State Supreme
court are to be elected this year.
J. nomas A. McBride, Chief Justice. Re
publican, will be a candidate to succeed
himself. So will the other three Jus
tices whose terms expire: Henrv J.
Bean, Republican; William M. Ramsey,
Democrat, and Charles L. McNary, Re
publican, the two latter being an
pointees of Governor West under the
act of the 1913 Legislature Increasing
tne membership of the court. Others
who are preparing to enter the race
are Judges K. G. Morrow and T. J. Clee
ton, of the Multnomah Circuit bench,
and Henry L. Benson, Circuit Judge
Klamath Falls, and L. T. Harris, Circuit
Judge, of Eugene.
J. A. Churchill, Republican, who was
appointed to fill out the unexpired term
of L. R. Alderman as State Superinten
aent or public instruction, will un
doubtedly be a candidate to succeed
himself. No other candidates have en
tered the field thus far.
O. P. Hoff, tate Labor Commissioner.
Republican, evidently is preparing to
run again. Mr. Hoft Is expected to
have opposition, though no announce
ments have been made as yet.
John H. Lewis, Republican, is also
expected to be 'a candidate to succeed
himself as State Engineer.
The term of Frank J. Miller, chair
man of the State Railroad Commission,
expires at the end of 1914, and Mr. Mil
ler will without doubt again be a can
didate. No other candidates have ye
appeared for the office.
Judgeships May Be Added.
To the state offices mentioned here
there may be added two Circuit Judge
ships, in addition to Department No. 6
of the Multnomah Circuit bench, for
which Judges must be elected next No
vember. The terms of Judge J. W,
Knowles, of La Grande, in the Tenth
judicial district, and of Judge Webster
Holmes, of Tillamook, In the Twelfth
Judicial district, are the ones that ex
pire. Judge Knowles is a Republican
and Judge Holmes a Democrat.
No candidates have yet come out in
Multnomah County for any of the 13
Representativeships in the Legislature
to be filled, though several of the pres
ent delegation probably will run again.
For the two State Senatorships to be
filled, those of George W. Joseph and
Dan J. Marfarkey, president of the 1913
Senate, Arthur Langc-th and John R.
Latourette probably will be aspirants.
The retiring Senators may also decide
to be in the race.
Chief interest in the county offices
to be filled centers on Sheriff. Archie
F. Leonard, Crief Field Deputy under
Sheriff Stevens, has already announced
himself as a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination. Sheriff Word Is at
present mildly torn between doubts as
to wJiether to enter the race for Gov
ernor or go after re-election as Sheriff.

COLONIST RATES ON SOON
Northwest Kailroads Beg-in Advertis
ing Keduced l'ares.
Railroads tn the Northwest are be
ginning to advertise the Spring colonist
rates which become effective March 15.
The rates this year will be the same
as formerly, being ?33 from Chicago,
$30 from Missouri River points and ?25
from the Colorado territory.
The low-rate period will continue 32
days. Although the reduced fares will
be extensively advertised, the railroads
will make no active effort this year to
procure organized parties of settlers
for the Northwest.
Heretofore wage-earners principally
have taken advantage of the low rates,
railroad men say, and few actual home
seekers were included in the big par
ties that came semi-annually. Home
seekers, It has been found, will come
at any time of the year and not wait
for the colonist rates.

How to Make the Best

A Family Supply tit Small Coat,
and. Fully Guaranteed,
Make a plain syrup bv mixine one
pint of granulated sugar and pint of
warm water and stir for 2 minutes.
IMit 2i ounces of pure Pinex (flftr

up with the Sugar Syrup. This cives
you a family supply of the best couch
Byrup at a saving of $2. It never spoils,
lake a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
The effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. It seems to take hold al
most instantly, and will usually con-
?uer an ordinary cough in 24 "hours.
t tones up the jaded appetite and is
just laxative enough to be helpful in
a cough, and has a pleasing taste.
Also excellent for bronchial trouble,
bronchial asthma, whooping cough and
spasmodic croup.
this method of making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup (or
strained honey) is now used in more
homes than any other cougli syrup.
This explains why it is often imitated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Pinex, which ia a
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, and is
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara
tions will not work in this combination.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,

this preparation. Your druggist has
