NORTH HARBOR PUT IN DEEP-SEA Steamer "Rose City" Proves It by Easily Negotiating 27 Foot Channel- FIRST MEAT CARGO TAKEN Distinguished Party Aboard Is Dined at Union Company's Plant. Brigtit Commercial Horoscope i of Future Is Drawn. North Portland harbor is jiavigable for deep-sea vessels. The ''popular" steamer Rose City proved it yesterday. As a result of this proof a big- indus trial" section contiguous to North Port land harbor was officially placed on the map of commerce. Primarily, the vessel was sent there to discharge a shipment of salt con signed to the Union Meat Company and to load about 150 tons of meat products for California. Advantage was taken of this to accentuate the value of the improvement done by the Port of Portland Commission and United States Engineers in giving the channel a minimum depth of 27 feet. Captain Rankin's confidence that there was no good reason why the ship should not make the trip was shared by Pilot Archie Pease, who later easily made good his assertion that the steamer would be the first ocean going carrier to visit the plant. Some of the Invited guests went on the Rose City, leaving Ainsworth dock at 7:45 o'clock, and were there at 9:15, while more left on the launch Sea Ot ter shortly after 10 o'clock. Elaborate Dinner Served. The Union Meat Company served an elaborate dinner, with the aid of the steward's department of the ship, after which a few short talks were made. C. C. Colt, president of the company, presided. After welcoming the guests. Mr. Colt spoke of the benefits con ferred by the new channel and took occasion to praise those responsible for them. He also directed attention to what had been accomplished by the company since it started its plant, less than seven years ago, as a result of which a wilderness has been trans formed into a manufacturing center and commerce drawn to it. Captain Rankin spoke of the pleas tire he felt as the commander of the first steamer to cover the course, while Pilot Pease declared that not the slightest trouble was experienced and that the depth of water required for navigation was easily available in the channel. S W. Mulkey. chairman of the Com mission of Public Docks, complimented Mr. Colt and his associates on the character of the plant maintained and their courage in entering the district and expending their funds at a period when it was generally considered many years in advance of the city's growth. Docks In 10 Years Predicted. Harbormaster Speier predicted that a continuation of the rapid growth of the Peninsula would bring a line of docks in 10 years. W. IL Wi irren, secretary to Mayor Albee, expressed the riri. tv. citys executive for his absence and remarked that the corporation's prop erty was almost attractive enough to be taken into the city, a consumma tion which he hoped would be later ar ranged, so there would be less burden on the taxpayers. City Attorney LaRoche compared the rapid growth of the locality with that of Savannah. Ga.. his native city, where, he said, but 15 feet of water was available when the steamer Kan sas City, now of the same flag as the Rose City visited the Southern me! tropolis. He declared it Is the second todav " the Atlantlc side Other guests were: George K. An derson, of the Union Meat Company; UnifSi Etreer. F. C. Schubert United btates Engineers; Thomas Aut en.

Within week inspections' being made of all docks on the waterfront "rd"' direction of the Commission 6f Public Docks, will be finished and as soon as possible reports will be made covering the condition of each Rays G. B. Hegardt. chief engineer' deputies from the office of Building Ih!PHCtJ plummer a lo inspecting the docks but acting independent of the Commission, though their reports are forwarded to the Commission by Mr. Hummer. - Mr. Plummer said yesterday that Deputy Inspector Kremers had ended an inspection of the Ainsworth dock and reported that the lower section of the dock was not in the best of condition When his report reaches the Commission action will be taken. Under the waterfront ordinance if a dock is 40 per cent depleted it is ordered re built or not allowed to be used. In the oa.se of Ainsworth it is said the fact rtrZ. r, arVS ,n need of attention does not indicate it will be condemned for the upper level may be in such con dition new piling and other new parts of the foundation would be deemed suf ficient. RADNORSHIRE CROSSES POXD Den or Ruth veil Ijeaves Hongkong on Way to Coast Ports. Frank Waterhouse & Co., North Pa cific asrents for the Royal Mail, have issued the following, showing most re cent reports of the movements of the line's vessels: Merionethshire, at Hongkong.

The Newport has been renovated and painted. Her running time has been reduced from SO to 17 minutes. The Newport will replace the launch Truant tomorrow. NEW BUOY IS "TOWED rXDER" Clatsop Spit Aid Shifted to- Arford Protection. Unable to stand the unusual tide run out of Monday morning, amounting to 11 feet and which was accompanied by a current of at least five knots an hour, the new gas and bell buoy established to mark Clatsop Spit last week "towed under" and thereby went the way of other types tried there. Henry L. Beck. Inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, returned from there yesterday and regretfully admitted that the tide had again showed itself master. Undaunted, however, Mr. Beck di rected that the buoy be shifted from 10 fathoms of water to a point closer to the spit, where but five fathoms were found. He hopes that less current to contend with there will permit the buoy to remain upright. When ex amined after being pulled under the sunace of the water at the former ro- sition the flashing apparatus of the light was found in good condition and it was relighted without difficulty.

PETITION IS PRESENTED Commission Crged to Fix Sliding Scale of Wages for Girls With Two Years Service Required to Get $0.25 Minimum. The Industrial Weltare Commission reviewed a petition yesterday signed by Olds, Wortman & King, Meier & Frank, Lipman, Wolfe & Co., W. H. Markell & Co. and Kennard & Co. ask ing for a modification of the Commis sion's order of December 9 last relating to the period of apprenticeship and ap prentices' wages for women workers. The order is that no adult, inexperi enced woman worker shall be paid less than 6 a week and that the time of apprenticeship shall be one year. The merchants' petition asks that a conference be called to consider the question of apprenticeship, and sug gests that the apprenticeship period be increased to two years, or at least to 18 months. " Sliding- Scale Sn a-area ted. - The petition suggests that the fol lowing sliding scale of wages be adopted if a two-year apprenticeship is decided on: "The minimum wage during the first year should not exceed $6 a week. "The minimum wage for the period of one year to 18 months should not exceed $7.60 a week. "The minimum wage for the period of 18 months to two years should not exceed J8.25 a week. "Thereafter not less than the mini mum wage a week." . If the apprentice period is. fixed at 18 months the following sliding wage scale is suggested by the merchants: "The minimum wage during the first year should not exceed $6 a week. "The minimum wage for the period of one year to 18 months should not exceed J 7.50 a week. "Thereafter not less than the mini mum wage a week." Provided the lentgh of apprentice ship remains at one year, the sugges tion Is made that the minimum wage shall be not more than $6 a week for the entire term. School of Salesmanship trsred. The petition also suggests the es tablishment of a school of salesman. ship in connection with other vocational courses in the local schools. The petition says that the merchants signing it have decided that each ap plication for a position from a woman worker shall require a full statement ae to the age and service of the appli cant, with full details, from which it can be determined whether or not the applicant, if engaged, would be classed as an apprentice or a skilled worker. The minimum wage for experienced women workers in Portland mercantile establishments has been fixed by the Commission at $9.23 a week. Of the three Commissioners. Amedee M. Smith is in Califorla, and will not return for several days, and the- Rev. Father Edwin V. O'Hara, chairman. Is In the East and will not return until June. RATE RISE IS EXPECTED CARGO TARIFF TO BE MORE WITH HIGHER PILOT DUTY, REPORT. Steamshlpmea Say Port Commission Ought te Keep Bar Service Prices to Reasonable Minimum. If higher piloting and towage rates are charged at tho entrance to the Co lumbia River in case the Port of Port land Commission is successful in leas ing tngs to individuals or a corpora tion, steamshlpmen say there Is danger of the tariff being advanced on cargo handled aboard regular liners. Concessions made by the Commission on bar pilotage to Oriental fleets, also in shifting their yessels In -the harbor free, while not representing a large financial saving, places the companies under a moral obligation to an extent, it is held in some quarters, and in: ac cepting such favors the lines are said to feel bound to equalize rates between Portland and Puget Sound. At the same time the Commission adopted a resolu tion, granting the pilotage and, harbor moves, whic.li provides that in return the lines shall charge no more from Portland than from Puget Sound, but It does not take into account the tariff on commodities from foreign lands. New charges on imports from Europe placed in effect April 1 by all lines was the result of a readjustment ship pers have worked for and some steam shlpmen say the Commission should continue in charge of the bar service as a means of keeping down rates there, as well as cargo, at the lowest reasonable minimum. If the Commission does not get rid of the piloting and towing responsibilities. It is proposed to lower prevailing rates 26 per cent to apply to all vessels. An other stumbling block appears in this as agents of regular lines say they should not be deprived of free pilotage granted now and placed on the same basis as firms operating tramp steamers. CKITW FORMS BUCKET BBIGADE Houseboat Inhabitants Xot Aware That .Home l Burning. Captain Whltcomb coaverted the steamer Joseph Kellogg into a tem porary fireboat on the way here from the Cowlitz River yesterday, when on passing Carroll's Point a houseboat was found ablaze, the roof burning merrily while the occupants hugged a stove in blissful ignorance of the fact. The Kellogg ran alongside and by the time the crew formed a bucket brigade, it not being deemed necessary to man a hose, the owner of the domicile appeared. Rapid work saved the craft from destruction, though the roof was damaged. At about the same time Captain Whltcomb says there was one of the heaviest downpours he has seen on the river. YUCATAN CASE IS UP AGAIN Master's License Suspended and Mi litia Holds Investigation. Failure to have a pilot's license or to have an ofTicer aboard with a proper certificate March 3. when his steamer collided with the cruiser Boston In get ting away from the Globe elevator, con stituting negligence under the Federal regulations, resulted in Captain Paul sen, of the steamer Yucatan, having his license as master suspended for 30 days yesterday by United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller. Aboard the cruiser Boston an official Investigation was held last night with Paymaster Capron, Lieutenant Ed- wards and Lieutenant Beckwith. of the Oregon Naval Militia, as the board of investigation. A full report of the ac cident, including testimony of -various witnesses, will be forwarded to the Navy Department, responsibility being also fixed. It la expected a demand will be made on the North Paclflc Steamship Company, operating the Yu catan, for damages sustained by the Boston. Immediately after the accident Cap tain Paulsen was reported to Collector of Customs Burke and a fine of $100 was assessed, which officials at Wash ington reduced to $10. As to the ac cident. Captain Paulsen's defense was that the Broadway bridge draw was not raised promptly after he signalled and the current carried him against the Boston, damaging guns, gunport plates, the steam launch and wrecking a piano caught by one of the guns as it was forced around.

SUBTLE MORAL POINTED Anti-Orange Army Is Attempted in Ireland Outside Ulster, but Youth ful Volunteers Seem Content With Leaders' Assurances. BY TIMOTHY J. O'CONNOR. DTJBLrN, April 14. One of the most curious incidents In recent Natlonllst history . occurred at Gaiway, when, at EARLY SETTLER OK COLUMBIA tUL.VTX PASSES AWAY. wit4Ax, Charles TarbeU. ST. HELENS. Or.. April 14. (Special.) Charles TarbelL, 84. one of the early settlers of Co lumbia County, died at his home t Yankton this week. Mr. Tar beU was a native of Maine. He settled in Oregon more Mian 23 years ago near Scappoose. but moved soon to Yankton. Here Be began farming; on a ten-acre tract and had been successful, being, at the time of his death, one of the prosperous ranchers of this section. His son. George L. Tarbell, and son-ln-law. Prank . Brown, are large atockralsers at Yankton. . Mr. Tarbell leaves four chil dren surviving him George Tar bell. Alice Brown. ff Tankton; A. II. Tarbell. of Warren, and Everett L. Tarbell. of Hogsden. Maine. a meeting the other day for the pro motion of the Irish Volunteers, three cheers were given for Ulster in arms. It was. of course, tne Covenanters' methods that were approved, not their objects. The young Nationalists of Gaiway, a thousand of whom offered ineir services as recruits to an Irish volunteer force, meant to convey that the British government could bo in timidated. The movement is one that should appeal to youthful Imaginations, even if it has little Intrinsic importance. The figures and facts are interesting. Because tney give an Insight into the character of political feel Ins- In the rising generation. The leaders In Gaiway estimate that about 400 of the iuuo recruits are really In earnest. Athenry. a small town near Gaiway, still noted as a center of agrarian trouble, has done better In produc ing 200 men at drilL Tuam, the cap ital of Slayo. boasts of 300 volunteers. Some instruction In the use of trtni has been given here and there. The rifles belong, of course, to individuals, not to the organization. Generally speaking, the people of Connaught are at a loss to appreciate the value of military preparations They are content with the r.ol it Irian's word that home rule is assured. Agrarian agitation is one thine drill another, and the subtlety of asking three cheers for Ulster Volunteers es capes most minds. However, the mili tarists In Gaiway actually crofesa to believe in a future fusion in an Irish citizen army of the Northern and Southern men. Meanwhile, two of the members for Gaiway County have openly disapproved of the volunteers, Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Tlazleton. Intereatlna; Talk. Made. General Sir Arthur Paget. Com. mander-ln-chlef of the forces in Ire land, was a a-uest at the dinner of the Corinthian dub held here a few nights ago. and In a speech delivered in the course of the proceedings he made some Interesting references to the position the army would occupy should It be necessary to make use of troops in Ulster sfter the passing- of home rule. He had. he said, been as sured over and over again that there was no Intention on the part of the government to utilise the services of soldiers In that country except for the one very proper purpose of maintain ing law and order. He spoke from ex perience In the South African War of the bravery displayed by Irish regi ments, said that In the two years he had been in Ireland he had made two tours in the North, and he had In spected some 12 or 14 regiments, con taining a great many fine men. The battalions were certainly very effi cient. What they were going to do or what part they would play he did not know, but it was not possible for him to contemplate even being asked to concentrate hl8 men to move against me iorces mat. were, he believed. In being In the North of Ireland. "But at the same time." continued General Paget, "you must remember that In our lives we soldiers have to do things that we do not like. w have, too, a small army. It Is very efficient, and that comes because the array is in a very high state of disci pline, and when you have to deal with large bodies of men who understand the meanlna- of the word dlarlnlin. it means that, however distasteful It may be to them, they will carry out iiit orders given to them by their King ana it may Be God forbid It should oe my lot to be ordered to move t the North. I should regret It. I h4ve Po doubt that many officers, friends ol you mi, wouia nate tne very Idea or moving one mile north of Dublin but If that order comes that order must be obeyed, and if the order was not ooeyed it would mean that th army Is not in that state of dlscinlln in which you would wish to rce it.

"ui snouia it happen you must take Into consideration what we sol diers are, our training of years, our stern sense of discipline, and how vital it Is, how Important It is. that we should carry out such instructions as we may receive: and. although ycu may condemn us in any act of ours, at the same time you would say to yourselves. Well, after all. they only did their duty." Speech Drawn Comment. Tho speech is t widely commented upon today. A variety of views are expressed. and among Nationalists particularly there is a disposition to regard It as an unnecessary excursion into a very critical political contro versy, which in the case of a man holding high official position should not have ben made. General Pajret, however, did not say anything which has not already been said during tbs present crisis. He merely emphasised the fact, of which everyone is aware, that if the army is ordered to march into Ulster the army will obey orders The "Irish. Independent." under the headllng "Amazing Speech." deprecates the use of such language bv the Commander-in-Chief. "He should have realized." the journal says. 'that whatever lie did say would probably be open to misconception, and would In all likelihood be used by one side or tne other as a weapon In their po litical armory. The Unionists have -ad nauseam said to the government: Will you employ British troops against the people of Ulster? Sir Arthur Paget says it is not possible for him to contemplate 'even being asked to concentrate my men to move against forres that are. I believe, in being In the North of Ireland.' None of us wish to see civil war In thia country, but obseivatlons like that which we have Just quoted would seem to amount to more than a wish that such an eventu ality may be averted. They are tanta mount to a reminder to the govern ment: 'You had better take care and give these men what they want.' If they do not mean that they must mean that he doea not take the Ulster vol unteer movement seriously." BRITON WOULD FIGHT DUEL Companion of Wife t Masked Ball Is Challenged. LONDON. April 14. (Special.) Dueling, which has been out of fashion so long In England. Is not to be al lowed to remain so. If a certain pro fessional man. who was present at a recent fancy dress ball, is allowed to nave nis way. it teems that he found his wife with another man. although he had strictly forbidden her to attend the balL Without a word of explanation he tore the masks off the faces of the wife and her friend and challenged the tatter to fight a duel. But so far it naa not been treated seriously. BADLY TRAINED WIVES No I (lea of Cookery or Homcmakinr; Wscord Follows. Exchange. It is an economic fact that the girl employed in an industrial establish ment Is utterly at sea In her own or her mother's . kitchen; and when she marries she has no Idea of what is re quired of her. She is not only unable to cook a nourishing meal, but she has no Idea of economy or of pouring the on or perrect cookery on the matrl iconlal billows. And what is the result?

Had the wife of that unfor tunate man learned how to prepare 9 substantial, nourishing meal that dis aster would not have been the conse quence. It Is bad enough If the matter wer to stop there, but It doesn't. From on or two drinks, the man soon spends his entire time In a saloon, frequently loses his position and gradually drlfti until he joins the great army of dere licts that are filling all our larger cities. In other cases the health of the poor ly nourished husband gives way, and he is no longer able to hold the high grade position that he once held. Ads' to this condition daily bickerings quarrels and drunken brawls, and yof have the ideal state of affairs for di vorce all directly traceable to the inability of the wife to cook. Man Is IVorn 2000 Years Old. Tou all know the electrifying sen tence of Rousseau's "Social Contract"! "Man Is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One supposes himself ths master of others, who Is none the lesi for that more of a slave than they are." We need take no rains in our latel days of heredity as one of the estab lished laws of animal existence, to an alyze the description of man as bora free: and for that matter the idea was older and clayed its part in writer! older and more respectable than Itousseau. It is nearer the mark. i far at any rate as the civilised Eu ropean of today is concerned, to sal that he Is born 2U00 years old.
