Strauss & Company fixed the Ger
man bark Egon at 28s. 6d., yesterday
to load wheat and barley, or all barley,
here, for the United Kingdom. While
not the lowest rate of the season, it is
regarded low for a new-crop barley

' register and sailed from Hamburg
April S with Santa Rosalia as her desti
nation.
The rate reported for the Helwig
Vinnen was 25s. 6d., she being of 2827
tons net register, while several were
fixed at 28s. 9d.. and the Olivebank and
Knstlehorn obtained 28 shillings. The
British bark Invercoe. a late charter,
Is said to have been taken for 31s. 6d.
She is a vessel of 1322 tons. The Ger
man ship Arnoldus Vinnen has been
engaged by the Portland Flouring Mills
Company.
The list of carriers fixed for 191
5915 grain loading, numbering 41. is
the largest for a corresponding period
since 1902. At that time 62 ships were
on the board at the Merchants Ex
change, and at the rate with which
new-crop business haB been done during
the past week it js fully expected more
tonnaee will be added. -

GLESLOCHY DUE HERE TODAY
Liner Loads Bulk of Her Outward
Cargo Here for Orient and Europe.
Barley to the amount of 1000 tons.
consigned to the United Kingdom, goes
out on the Royal Mall liner Glenlochy
as Dart of 6200 tons of cargo, meas
urement. she loads here. There will
. also be lumber and general cargo for
Far Eastern harbors. The vessel is
due today, having sailed from Tacoma
at 10:30 o clock Wednesday night.
One of the principal items on her
manifest to be discharged at Portland
is 2500 bales of gunnies from Calcutta,
From Kobe are 2630 packages of sun
dries, making a total of 300 tons. There
are 112 bags of glue aboard from
Antwerp. At London the vessel loaded
liquors, mineral water, pickles, glnger
bnaDs and an assortment of such com
modities and at Yokohama 137 tons of
freight of a miscellaneous character
was received. There are 25 barrels
of cottonseed oil from Shanghai and
75 bags of sugar and five cases of
cassia from Hongkong. At Vancouver,
B. C, the Glenlochy loaded 60 mats
of rice for Portland that were brought
across the Pacific on another vessel.
In many features the Glenlochy resem
bles the Glenroy, which first came here
this Spring: and was damaged in
fire in March that destroyed Columbia
and Montgomery docks.
ANOTHER TRIP FOR PARAISO
Oliver J. Olson May Go on Portland.
Coos Bay-San Francisco Route.
Possibly one more trip will be com
pleted by the Swayne & Hart steamer
Paraiso on the Portland-coos bay-san
Francisco run, when she will be re
turned to the American-Hawaiian serv
ice, says Fred P. Baumgartner, Port
land agent for the Arrow Line, who
days that negotiations are under way
that insure a vessel being available to
succeed the Paraiso at once. One re
port is that the Oliver J. Olson will
be chartered. The Paraiso left the
river yesterday and' is due to depart
from Portland again July 1.
The return of the Paraiso to the
American-Hawaiian flag is not for a
lengthy period, as that company con-
. templates shifting its schedule with the
opening of the Panama Canal so that
the smaller liners, such as the Ne
blaskan and Nevadan and others of
the type, will proceed here after dis
charging San Francisco cargo and
probably returning from here. The
larger fleet will make California ports
and Puget Sound. The Paraiso is char-
' tered in that line simply as a transfer
vessel between San Francisco and
Portland.
AVAXD TAKES RECORD CARGO
Decking Over Alaska Steamers
Proves Revenue Producer.
Captain Jansen, master of the Alaska
. steamer Thomas L. Wand, which sails
early this morning for Skagway and
way ports, avers that the temporary
deck built on the ship, which was fin
ished yesterday, has nearly doubled her
capacity for general cargo. In her
argo are 17,000 cases of salmon cans,
1000 cases of can tops, 700 boxes of
tinplate, 68,000 feet of lumber and 250
tons of merchandise and sundries, the
largest load she has carried. Inci
dentally the cost of decking her over
n-as less than one-tenth of the addi
tional revenue gained.
On the run north the Wand will make
3t calls and were it not for the fact
the steamer J. B. Stetson made 161
calls on her present voyage, she would
be here tomorrow after & round trip J
of 13 days. She lost time at Ketchi
kan on the southbond run and will
be here Sunday. While steamers op
erating to California are skirmishing
for business, the Alaska fleet has all
that can be handled and the passenger
trade Is most satisfactory. .
PLEIADES COMING IX JULY
Luckenbach Fleet to Take Second
Cargo of Salmon and Lumber.
One more cargo for the Luckenbach
fleet is being assembled on the river
and the present plan is to have the
steamer Pleiades here July 12 to load
for the Panama Canal zone and the
Atlantic side. There is a shipment of
salmon to move on the freighter from
Astoria, as well as lumber and gen
eral cargo from Portland.
The steamer Damara, of the same
flag, which loaded lumber and other
freight here, worked 10,008 cases of
salmon at Astoria Wednesday and went
to Knappton to take on the last Of her
BALLOON SHIPPED OX BEAR
California Liner to Have Full Cabin
List Sunday.
On reaching the city yesterday from
Molalla, where it was landed Wednes
day evening following a trip from
Portland, the balloon Venice, which
has been operated in the city recently
as a captive balloon, was conveyed to
Ainsworth dock for shipment to Venice,
Port Los Angeles, on the steamer Bear,
which sails Sunday. Edward Ungef,
owner of the Venice, will accompany it.
First-class accommodations on the
Bear have been snapped up, and she
will have a full list. Extra rooms be
ing added on the bridgedeck for some
of her officers have not been finished,
so those occupied will not be avail
able for passengers until her next voy
age. The steamer shifts about the har
bor today collecting freight and takes
on the last at her-berth tomorrow.
