Triune AT ELEVENTH ANJD WASHINGTON FLEET FOR L 11 JUL Hi SKIPPERS ARE OX QUI VIVE GLOBE DANA June. Opens Fairly Strong in Charter Market, With No Change in Freights. PANAMA DELAY IS FACTOR Among Iflxtures Reported Is That ol Inveran by Heatley & , Co. for Iumber to Australia Strath avon Arrives In Port. June has opened fairly strong in the charter market in the way of new business, with no change in freights, which appear to have attained a rea sonably permanent range. Shipping men Bay that the fact that the Panama Canal was not ready immediately after the Mexican trouble was started, as liad been intimated, undoubtedly held up some business, yet increases are made every few days to the steam fleet fixed for European cargoes on this Coast that will undoubtedly use the big waterway as a means of reaching the Atlantic. Among fixtures reported yesterday was that of the British steamer In veran, which Heatley & Co. took for lumber to Australia. The rate is said to have been 3s 4d, and the chances are that cargo will be given the ves sel on Puget Sound or at a British Columbia port. The vessel sailed May 13 from Newcastle-on-Tyne for Punta Arenas. Meyer, "Wilson & Co. has taken a steamer for October-November load ing in Europe to discharge at Hon olulu and either Portland or Puget Sound. The vessel will be the British tramp Lodaner or Lodorer, the selec tion being at owner's option. The Jodaner left Newcastle-on-Tyne May 11 for Algiers and the Lodorer put out from New York May 10 for Bris bane. The Hast Asiatic Steamship Company has given out that the liner Natal, which is listed for Portland and other Pacific Coast harbors, loads at Copen hagen June 15, Gothenburg June 18, Chrlstiania June 19, Antwerp June 22 and London June 28. One arrival yesterday vas the Brit ish steamer Strathavon, which worked a part cargo at Kureka for Sydney and Melbourne and completion here. Another of the same flag, the Strath rlyde, has been fixed by the China Import & Export Lumber Company to transport a lumber cargo from Port land to Shanghai, her rate being 4s 9d. The vessel loads here early next month. I.UMBKIi MAY GO VIA CANAL Robert Dollar Starts Working IMrst Cargo at Vancouver. San Francisco reports are that the Dollar Steamship Company will use several vessels in moving 25,000,000 feet of lumber via the Panama Canal from Vancouver. B. C. to Montreal, destined for Toronto for use in harbor construc tion. The steamer Robert Dollar is now at Vancouver working the first of her load,, which is to measure close to 5,000,000 feet. Should there be trouble with the Culebra cut when the Dollar is loaded the latter part of the month and the prospects not encouraging for the Ca nal not to be opened by the time she reaches Balboa, arrangements will be made to route her by the way of the Straits of Magellan. On discharging at Montreal the Dollar's cargo is to be moved to Toronto on barges. Coast lumbermen are talking about the $1.20 toll for passing through the Canal. It is understood from Wash ington that deckloads of lumber will be charged for on the same basis, though no tariff covering deckloads is in vogue on the Suez Canal. They con tend that an adherence to that ruling will prove a drawback to the lumber trade of the Pacific slope, which is depending on new business on the East Coast. HARBOR I'ORCE GETS RECRUIT Astoria to Present Domesticated Seal to Portland. Since Federal quarantine regulations prevent Harbormaster Speier from im porting a monkey to fill the role of pet at the Stark-street municipal landing, because of danger of bubonic plague, he has accepted a seal that the harbor authorities at Astoria tamed and guar antee free from plague, vicious habits or preference for steaks, instead of fish. The seal is reputed to make the As toria harbor station his home to such an extent that he seldom remains away more than 3 or 4 hours. He visits the different vessels when they berth there end on the last voyage of the Rose City was lifted on board by one of the crew, though after a short visit he cried to go overboard and was re leased. There is plenty of room for him at the Harbor Patrol station and if he takes kindly to the waters of the Willamette he should wax fat on carp and other inhabitants. BEACH SEASOX IS OPENIXG Steamer Schedule for Summer to Be Decided Soon. Balmy temperatures are drawing Portland people toward North Beach. The steamer Harvest Queen was unable to accommodate all travelers Monday night and her accommodations were vir tually sold out last night. "Captain" Budd, head of the O.-W. R. & N. water lines as well as the "Clam Shell" route from Megler to Nahcotta, says cottag ers are more in evidence along the beach and domiciles are being cleared of sand that drifted In 'with Winter blows, while other preparations are under way for the season. An early decision is expected to be made regarding placing the steamer Hassalo in regular service with th Queen. The steamer T. J. Potter is to be inspected June 16 and will be re turned to the Megler run in July. PROPELLER XAMED HARDTACK Fuel Barge for Port of Portland Launched at Supple's. Hardtack is the name of a new pro peller being completed at Joseph Supples yard for the Inman-Poulsen mill that will replace the little steamer Elkader. The Hardtack will be in epected tomorrow by United States In spectors Edwards and Fuller. She is being equipped with machinery taken from the Elkader. Mr. Supple has a small army of car penters working on the deck and cabin of the new Port of Portland dredge hull, into which the machinery of the dredge Columbia will be transferred in the Fall. A new fuel barge for the Port of Portland, built by Mr. Supple, Federal Officers Conduct Reinspec tlons of Vessels. Masters of passenger vessels, in both the ocean and river fleets, are kept on the alert these days, as United In spectors Edwards and Fuller ' have launched their reinspection campaign and, regardless of the date of the an nual inspection of steamers, the Fed eral officers drop around for rein spection without warning, often at most inopportune times. The steamer Bear was selected yes terday and the inspectors held full sway aboard for a short time. Re cently they reinspected the river steamer Ruth, while lying at Ains worth dock, and, without a hint, im mediately boarded the liner Rose City and sounded a signal for fire drill. During the visit last week of Captain John K. Bulger, -supervising Inspector on the Coast, he said he found every thing in this territory in ship shape and, as a matter of fact, this district is reputed to stand among the high est in the United States. LOWER DOCK IS REOCCUPIED River Falls but Is Due to Advance Slightly Friday. Gaining courage from the fact the river contines to fall here slowly, the Harkins Transportation Company's of fice was shifted yesterday from the upper to the . lower deck at the foot of Washington street, though the water barely cleared the planking be neath. Wagers are being made that the Wil lamette will not again attain the 16 foot mark this Summer. It was 15.5 feet yesterday and had fallen two tenths of a foot in 24 hours. The Weather Bureau forecasts a small rise for Friday as the Snake is gaining slightly. Xews From Oregon Ports. NEWPORT, Or., June 2. (Special.)
