Our Third and Greatest
Royal Mail Steamer Glenroy
Omits Puget Sound.
FREIGHTS DROP IS RUMOR
Tramp Steamer Keportcrt Ofrerin;

Merionethshire Leaves Tomor
row With Fair Cargo. .
' Eliminating all calls after reaching
Vancouver, B. C, the new Royal Mail
liner Glenroy will proceed direct to
Portland and is to arrive here Mon
day. It was arranged for the vessel
to omit Puget Sound cities so she will
have time to load considerable lumber
here and sail on schedule March 3.
Ballour, Guthrie & Co. expect to
dispatch about 1,500.000 feet of lum
ber on the Glenroy for the Orient and
the may have more material from the
same firm. There will be considerable
cargo for the United Kingdom to be
loaded and some for the Orient, but
trade for the Far East is not as brisk
as millers and grainmen wish, so ship
ments are curtailed.
The Glenroy will bring freight from
Europe and Oriental harbors. She has
not much for British Columbia, so her
visit at Vancouver will be brief. She
Is a vessel of the type selected by
the Royal Mail for its "Glen" fleet
and another coming is the Glenlochy,
due to sail from Portland, June 17.
The Merionethshire, of the same
srvice, now working here, departs to
morrow and will have a fair cargo. She
Is to shift this morning from the
Crown mill to Alblna dock and
tonight will haul from Alblna to
Oceanic. The Cardiganshire, the
largest of the fleet yet started for the
coast, comes to Portland about the
middle of next month.
Freights to the United Kingdom are
said by exporters to have taken
another drop and parcel shipments are
being booked at 25 shillings. One
tramp steamer was reported offering
at 25 shillings, but was not taken.
ROCHELLE OFF FOR ALASKA
Steamer Will Look After Puget
Sound Trade During Season.
Operating under the flag of the W.
F. Swan Navigation Company and sup
plementing the service of the Pacific
Steamship Company from Portland to
Alaska, the steamer Rochelle will be
placed on the route from Seattle to
northern ports and sailed from here
for Puget Sound last night. W. F.
Swan was In the city yesterday ar
ranging for the departure of the ship.
She carried 40 tons of salt for Se
attle. When Mr. Swan accepted the su
perintendency of the Portland-Alaska
line it was understood that contracts
he retained would be taken care of
on a seperate vessel running from
Puget Sound, so the Rochelle was as
signed. At the same time there is
certain business to be handled from
here that would require the shipment
of coal to the north and that will be
routed on the Rochelle from Puget
Sound. On the return she carries ore,
Kypsum and other heavy freight.. The
Rochelle has operated between Port
land and California harbors since being
rebuilt about two years ago.

Commission Will Dismantle Build
ings on Dock Site.
How rival power companies will
compete for waterfront patronage
may be indicated at this morning's
meeting of the Commission of Public
Docks, when the bids are to be
opened for supplying electrical en
ergy and light on Public Dock No. 1.
The commission will also open tenders
for wrecking buildings formerly used
by the Northwest Steel Company on
the north part of the dock site.
With the departure of the steamer
Yucatan for California ports last night

have the Martin dock structure razed.
Intended for special service in mark
ing Clatsop Spit, to be officially desig
nated as No. 12, a gas and bell buoy
shipped from the New York supply
depot of the Bureau of Lighthouses,
passed Grand Island, Neb., Tuesday and
is expected to be delivered at Tongue
Point in ten days. Difficulty has been
encountered in maintining a lighted
Duoy at Clatsop Spit, and one of spe
cial design was ordered.
A report from the tender Manzanita
Is that while her, crew was engaged in
grappling at the spot where the outside
gas and whistling buoy off the entrance
to the Columbia was established, but
which went adrift in December, a 10-
inch Manila hawser, 75 fathoms long,
was picked up. Officials of the depart
ment think the loss of the hawser from
some vessel with a tow may have bear
ing on the buoy going adrift.

at the mouth of the river yesterday

lieved to have been sunk there recently.

SERVIAN TO BE DEPORTED
Allen Sneaks Across Border Only to
Be Arrested.
Probably because it was hard work
to drag his lengthy name along Nedyrko
Dabrasawlo, a Servian, set too slow a
pace for immigration officials yester
day and fell into the toils on an accu
sation of having entered Uncle Sam's
domain illegally, and after having been
denied admission in December at East
port, Idaho. At that time he lacked the
requisite head tax of $4, but possessed
a ticket to Portland.
Managing to elude the wary Govern
ment men on the border, he made "his
way here and had barely time in which
to get his bearings when he was ar
rested. Taken into custody at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, he was given a
hearing at once before Inspector Bon
ham and escorted to the County Jail.
That prison holds several aliens as
guests of Uncle Sam, awaiting an offi
cial escort from the country.
BEAR OFFERED AS MASCOTT
Skipper Not Convinced That Bruin
Would Make Sailor.
As a mascot for the steamer Bear,
"bulldog" of the San Francisco & Port
land liners. Captain Nopander has been
offered a tame bear by a resident ot
Gold Hill, Or. Admitting that a mas
cot is all right under some conditions.
Captain Nopander hesitates to accept
the responsibility of bruin's future, as
a change from his Southern Oregon
home to shipboard might bring woe to
him in the way of seasickness.
Should the bear be "signed on" the
question has come up that Captain
Mason might seek a beaver as mascot
for his ship and Captain Rankin Insist
on maintaining a rose garden on the
Rose City. The Bear sails tomorrow for
California a-nd in all probability she
will be cleared minus bruin among her
living freight.

RECALL PETITIONS APPEAR
Mayor Albee " and Commissioners
Dieck and Brewster Targets.
Recall petitions against Mayor Albee
and Commissioners Dieck and Brew
ster have been put in the hands of cir
culators, who were on the street solicit
ing signatures. No candidates to re
place the officials against whom the
petitions are directed have been chosen,
the circulator said. He refused, also,
to state who had instigated the recall.
It is believed, however, that the move
was started by the Oregon Citizens'
League, of which Alfred D. Cridge, a
writer of the Portland Journal, Is sec
retary. The petition against the Mayor states
that he has failed to maintain order in
the city during his administration and
has been responsible fox much extrava
gance., The grounds for the recall of
Commissioners Dieck and Brewster are
practically the same as against the
Mayor.

Cam Involving; Western Orecrom Lands
. May Deprive Counties of About
$425,000 This Year.
Southern Pacific officials probably
will refuse this year to pay taxes' on
more than 2,000,000 acres of land In
Western Oregon involved in the suit
now pending before the United States
Supreme Court in which the Govern
ment and the railroad are contending
for possession of this property.
This action will deprive the various
counties through which the original
line of the Southern Pacific was built
of approximately $425,000 this year. If
the company eventually wins the suit
before the Supreme Court, the money
will be paid. If the Government wins,
however, the lands will be exempt
from taxation.
While the Southern Pacific has un
til April 1 to pay its taxes, it Is under
stood that It is preparing to exclude
payment on all lands Involved in the
suit.

"The Government has an injunction

"If, on the other hand, we should

efforts of a skillful chef can produce
nothing more acceptable than
Campbell's Tomato Soup
But when you consider the choice mate
rials of which it is made, and the fact that the
Campbell methods and formula
were originated by expert soup
makers who have no superior in
their line, this remarkable result
is hardly to be wondered at.
Your money back if not satisfied.
