14 THE MORXIXG' OREGONUX, FRIDAY, 'MAY 22, 1914. HEW UNIT OF DOCK TO HAVE OPEN SLIP Change in Plans Authorized by Commission Will Add to Un loading Facilities. ESTIMATED COST $18,550 Wharf to- Be Provided With Proba bly Two Railroad Tracks and Hcr rick, "While Big Doors Will Facilitate Housing. Authority was given by the Commis sion of Public Docks yesterday for a change in plans for the second unit of Municipal Dock No. 1. so, instead of having a quay dock 1075 feet long, with a warehouse the entire distance, 120 feet of the north end will be used for Klin and ODen dock. The slip will ex tend from the harbor line to Front street, with a dock on the south sida 60 feet wide. If it can be arranged to move the TVest Side landing of the Lower Al Dlna ferry from the foot of Seven teenth, adioinintr the dock site, to space between the North Bank dock and the dock of the American Can Company, an open dock will be built on the north side of the puDlic lock slip on ground now used for the ferry landing. For some time the commission has liad under consideration plans for an cnen dock on which vessels might dis charge structural steel, pig-iron, coke, fire brick, lumber and other bulky freieht and it believes the altered plan will prcvide adequate facilities. Two doors, each SO feet wide, will lead from the open dock to the shed on Munlpical Dock No. 1. so in the event other cargo is discharged it can be hauled under cover at once. One, and possibly two railroad tracks will be provided on the open dock and two derricks will be in stalled. Between the main deck and Front street is a large area not in use, and even with the first warehouses erected as intended, much space will remain for the storage of stuff discharged on the open dock. The main dock, the first unit of which was completed early in the year and has been used, will be S55 feet, sufficient for handling two ordinary tramp vessels or liners now plying here, except the larger Shire ships of the Royal Mai, while a third could uso the slip, which will be 490 feet deep. The slip will be dredged to 30 feet, necessitating the removal of 100,000 yards of material, and there is space to the rear of the dock to be filled that will require 70,000 yards. Under an arrangement with A. C. U. Berry, who . li:is a contract for the second unit of the dock, the change to include the slip will cost approximately $18,550. QV1NAUIT DAMAGED O.V ROCK T I 1 1 !...! .. I : 1 "I. ....I Ienving Moira Sound. Leaving Moira Sound yesterday bound for Skagway and intermediate ports, tho steamer Quinault. of the Portland-Alaska fleet, struck a sub merged rock and Captain G. W. Mor gan, her maeter, telegraphed here in the afternoon that apparently her en tire keel had been taken off. The ves sel was making no water, and she con tinued on her course at a speed of eight knots, thougli her Skagway pas sengers were forwarded on a local steamer, and the Quinault will prob ' ably be turned back at Juneau. Cap tain Morgan telegraphed that he would like to make Funter Bay, Tyee and Kttka, so he could return here for a new keel and sail on time. N. F. Titus, Portland manager of the line, had planned to place the Quinault and J. K. Stetson on a new schedule, leaving here Thursdays, as both are passenger vessels, using the steamer Thomas L. "Wand to make certain ports, including calls at Puget Sound cities, which the other vessels were to elim inate. The accident to the Quinault has temporarily interfered, he says. The Stetson sails from here tonight with a full passenger list and capacity cargo. CARGO ASSEfBLIG PROPOSED Portlanders Asked' for Practical Suj gestlons Toward Solution. Responding to a complaint made by officials of the Royal Mail line that the liner Cardiganshire was detained bnre through having been compelled to make frequent moves in the harbor to Rather cargo, a practice, they say, that i not followed at other ports, the Chamber of Commerce has addressed communication to Portland exporters inviting their views as to how such 'peddling-' might be avoided. The Commission of Public Docks re ceived such a complaint from the Royal Mail, but no action was taken concerning a remedy, for shipping men and mariners aver that substantially ttie same conditions exist on Puget ISound and San Francisco when steam ers engage to transport large lots of commodities, the custom being for them to load at the shipper's dock. When small lots are moved the agent of the line usually insists on them being as sembled at the company's berth. At the same time some -relief may be given hero in tho way of having lumber rafted or barged to the larger liners and the material loaded from the stream .Instead of the steamers being sent to mill docks. BALLAST FOR CITY ITLOAT Improvements Vnder Way at Stark Street Municipal lioat Landing. On a bid of $5 the Commission of Public Docks has purchased from the Vnlted States Treasury Department old Belgian Mocks removed from the drive way on the Broadway side if tho Custom-House building and the material is being used to ballast a large float at the Municipal boat landing, foot of Stark street. The float was so constructed as to be high above the water when light, ao when ballasted it would have just enough freeboard to be convenient for persons boarding and disembarking from launches, there being sufficient draft so a large crowd might congre gate on either side of the float with out danger. In addition the commis sion has arranged to have a pipe rail ing bunt around the float, except on the rtver side, as a protection against persons falling overboard. DATA SOUGHT OX POKT TITTLES Hamburg -American Aks as to Re strictions on Explosives. Inquiry made at the office of Har bormaster Ppeier by the Hamburg American Line for full information bearing on port regulations covering tiie transportation of gasoline, powder and other explosives, has revived spec ulation as to the cominf of vessels of that fleet by way of the Panama Canal. Should the company accept such freight it will be in direct opposition to its existing policy for gasoline, pow der and the like are entered in the list of Instructions covering shipments as commodities to be declined. It is said the company retained experts to delve into the danfrer of transporting; explo sives and after an exhaustive investi gation it was decided to omit them. Why the company should be concerned with such matters now and the further fact that the Coast gasoline market is controlled by firms making California their headquarters, is not known.

LAW FOLLOWS COMPLAINTS Government Demands Strict Obedi ence to Ruling Maximum Fine of $2500 and Imprisonment of Year Is Penalty. The use of seines in the channel at the entrance to the Columbia River Is at an end. Lieutenant Colonel McKin stry, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., is notifying salmon fishing interest on the. Lower Columbia that a restricted area has been officially established in which fishing with seines is not to be carried on, in order that vessels may nave tree and unobstructed access and egress at all times. The step is one result of freouent objections by masters of ocean-going vessels to the practice of fishermen us ing seines in the channel, as vessels are compelled to proceed under a slow oeil to avoid striking small boats n1 damaging nets. It is - reported that many nets have been rendered useless or- badly torn, and the material some times becomes entwined in the propel lers of the steamers. Act Passed by Congress In 1890.
