THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1914. OCEAN TRAFFIC IS AT STANDSTILL Companies Cancel Contracts and Order Steamers to Remain in Port. MANY VESSELS IN DANGER Consul Erskine Notified to Allow No British Ships to IaYe and load ed Vessels Will Be Held in River for Present. Sailings between Portland, the Orient and European ports have been sus pended temporarily by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, a telegraphic order to that effect having reached the Portland office of Frank Waterhouse & Co. yesterday from headquarters at Seattle. The Hamburg-American took similar action Immediately on war be ing declared by Germany, and the steamers of both lines are tied up at arious ports. The Royal Mail has sent notice of this action to shippers having con tracted for space on the British steam er. Monmouthshire, which sailed from Kobe Monday for Yokohama, en route here, as well as those having space engaged on other steamers due to ar rive later. The Monmouthshire is to be held at Yokohama. The Carnarvon shire left Seattle July 27 for the Far Uast and London oy way 01 onusu Columbia, carrying cargo from Portland and Puget Sound. Many Vessels In Danger. A list of other vessels leaving the Northwest, most of them with grain cargoes and some with grain, lumber and other commodities, that may be in danger of capture Is as follows: From Portland German bark Earm bek. April 21: British steamship Olen roy. May 10; German ship Ossa, May 14; German steamship Sudmark, May 17; British steamship Radnorshire, May 22; British ship Den of Ruthven, June 8; Cierman steamshiu Hoerde, June 9; British steamship Glenlochy. June 30, and British steamship Virginia, July 20. In addition, the Dutch steamship Maria left here July 21 for Dublin with a cargo of barley. The Norwegian bark Kbrin, loading grain at Portland, crossed out of the river, bound for Ip swich, May 6. From Puget Sound The British steamer Cyclops, May 13; British steamer Antilochus, June 10; German ship Goldbek, April 23; French bark Michelet, March 24; French bark Marie, March 28; French ship Thiers, May 19. Thomas Erskine, British Consul here, received Instructions yesterday to per mit no British vessels to leave port. The orders apply at all Pacific Coast ports. Strathalbyn Leaves Portland. The British steamer Strathalbyn, which took on 2,120,000 feet of lum ber, valued at $25,400, and 40,910 feet of pickets at $490, also 266.220 feet of laths worth $532, consigned to Mel bourne, Australia, left Inman-Poulsen's mill for sea late yesterday, but as she is to complete loading on Puget Sound It was felt -certain she could navigate that distance without fear of capture. "Whether she leaves the northern har bor when the last of her cargo is loaded depends on the situation then. The British steamer River Forth, under charter to A Carpentler, which arrived a few days ago with general cargo from Europe, shifts from the North Bank dock to Albina dock to dis charge the remainder of her cargo this morning and then hauls down to the Elevator dock to tie up. awaiting or ders as to whether she will proceed to Puget Sound, where she was 1fc take on an Australian lumber cargo. The British bark Howth. which has cleared with a lumber cargo for Liverpool, leaves down tomorrow morning In tow of the steamer Ocklahama and will anchor at Astoria. Her master was ordered not to leave the river. Though the British steamer Fernley Is being lined to receive grain for the United Kingdom, she will be detained as are the others. SOUTH AMERICA GETS FIjOUR Bear Carries Portland Shipments to Pacific Mall Fleet. War has not interfered with ship ments from Portland to South America, In spite of the withdrawal from the field of the Kosmos Line, and while W. R. Grace & Co. are maintaining their service with the steamers Colusa and Cuzco, about 175 tons of flour went south yesterday on the steamer Bear to be trans-shipped at San Francisco to vessels of the Pacific Mall fleet for delivery In Central and South Ameri can ports. As that means handling in all American ships the existing Eu ropean trouble can have no effect on their operation. The Bear also carried a machine shipped by Silas Chrlstofferson, the blrdman, and with other cargo had virtually a full load. There were 285 passengers, including Captain Francke, superintendent of the line, who came here on the vessel to look after the loading of 70 tons of rail road Iron as permanent ballast. Wind delayed the Bear slightly in getting away from the dock and 'lining up" to go through the Broadway Bridge, and It Is said complaint will be made because of a delay when the Bear sig nalled for the draw to open, as teams and cars were permitted to cross un til she signalled a second time. WAR TALKED ABOARD BEAVER Purser and Steward Former Fighters for Great Britain. On the arrival of the steamor Beaver from California yesterday one of the first Inquiries for news of the war came from Purser Ravenhlll. who is seriously considering donning the war elothes he used In the South African campaign, when he was In the British service. Tom Brangwln. steward of the vessel, passed five years in the British navy and Is somewhat stirred by late news. Save for a mysterious column of smoke seen on the horizon Monday evening, the Beaver's officers reported that they had not fallen In with any cruisers. The vessel had a full list of cabin passengers and about 700 tons of cargo, in which were two carloads of lemons and one of oranges. She headed into a fresh northwest breeze from Cape Mendocino to the Columbia, but weather conditions were fair. BIG DREDGE ASOTIN IS BUSY Present Low Stage of Water Proves Beneficial Below Riparla.

SHIPPING BILL ACTION URGED A. P. Bateham Sends Telegram to Ore gon Congressmen. A telegram has been sent to Sena tor Chamberlain and Representative SInnott by A. P. Bateham. of this city. urging support of the bill to put ror eign vessels under American registry. The teleeram follows: "The interests of Northwestern apple and pear growers, as well as those of eve.rv fruitgrower In United States, are vitally Involved in proposal to admit foreign vessels to American registry. Exports of fresh apples from United States average for last three years approximately 2,300,000 barrels annu ally, including boxes figured at three to barrel. All but Insignificant pro portion this tonnage has been trans ported In foreign bottoms, principally British and German. With transpor tation available probably over 3,000,000 barrels, including boxes, will find market in Europe this season; without it, this surplus will be thrown back on domestic markets with results pos sibly disastrous. We urge fullest pro tection for this important export." Bandon to Carry Lumber South. TOLEDO, Or., Aug. 5. Special.) The Bandon, from San Francisco, ar rived here with a consignment of fruit and various articles for the Toledo merchants, and also freight for Chit wood and Eddyville.

Seeing his brother's distress, the brave little Jack plunged in after him and both were swept around in the eddy and down the stream. Leader Plunges After Lads. According to Alton Krebs, who ar i. j , tnA viMnltv of the camp last evening, one of the leaders, whose name was given as Clark, Immediately jumped in after the boys. By hard work he was able to get one of the lads and bring him near the shore, where his comrades could take care of him. Dropping the lad in the water near the bank, Clark plunged in after the other one. The current was swift, and it is declared the boy he had at rirst saved was again swept into the chan- iel. Desperate efforts again to recover lther of the bodies were fruitless. rrv. hnva at th ramn were not al lowed to swim in the river, but were taken for this purpose to Eagle Lake, ui ia airav Thft two Nunn bovs were wading in the shallow water on the sand spit.

L 37 FEET DEEP NEW COLUMBIA ENTRANCE IS NEAR END OF SOUTH JETTY. Cutting of Way by Dredge Expected to Change Current So That Wide. Passage Will be Scoured. asti-iria Or.. Auk. 5. (Special.) There is a channel across the Shoal t the mouth of the Columbia River in rhieh the lowest depth of water is 37 feet at mean low tide. Tliat was finltelv determined this morning, when the members of the navigation mmittee of the Fort or uoiumoia Commercial Club made a trip to the bar on the steamer Captain James Fornance, as the guests of Captain Barron. Soundings were made along the line of this channel, which runs in a west southwesterly direction between No. 6 buoy and the obstruction buoy off the end of the jetty. The shoal in this waterway IS exceedingly narrow and is said to be rapidly washing away. This channel, the members of the com mittee say, can be used by high-power craft or by others in fine weather, but Is top close to the end of the south jetty' to be safe for low-power boats, such as freighters, when the seas are rough. . , The line on which the dredge Chinook Is working runs in a southwesterly direction and at a point about 2500 feet from the end of the jetty. Those in charge of the dredging operations assert that by cutting a channel there, the currents will be so directed that they will wash out the shoal between It and the Jetty giving a wide and deep channel the entire way. As a result of this morning's visit, the navigation committee will request the Lighthouse Department to supplant the can ob struction buoy with a combination blinker and bell buoy. The committee will also request that the gas buoy now on Edge of Clatsop Spit be changed to a bell buoy and that a light be established well up on Clatsop Spit. STOCK DEATHS MYSTERIOUS Theory Near Baker Is Heat Cause of Animal Disease. BAKER, Or., Aug. 5. (Special.) A peculiar disease, which some of the farmers attribute to the excessive heat of the last week, has appeared among livestock and even rabbits at Pleasant Valley, on the O.-W. R. & N., 12 miles east of Baker. The temperature there has been breaking records for a week. On Sun day It reached 104, the highest ever recorded there. Cows and hogs have been found dead in fields and now farmers are finding dead rabbits in large numbers In the fields. The theory is that either the heat or peculiar food condition is responsible. Dr. F. T. Notz. County Stock In spector, returned from Pleasant Valley today, after an examination of the dead animals. He said that he was positive that this is not anything llko hydrophobia. SNAKE VICTIM MAY LIVE J. Ti. Richards Lands at Weiser Hos pital Unconscious. WEISER, Idaho, Aug. 5. (Special.) j.

DOCK FIRE NIPPED Suspiciou&Blaze Is Discovered Near Elevator. OIL POINTS TO INCENDIARY Burning Debris Found Between Rail road Tracks and Waterfront on East Side Recalls Past BlazesFirebug Sought. Discovery of burning boards and other drift between the O.-W. R. & N. tracks and Elevator dock yesterday morning leads to the belief that an at tempt had been made to add another East Side grain dock to the list of those destroyed by fire since March. A bunch of oil-soaked waste was found in the burning debris. D. 3. Quinn, yardmaster for the O. W. R. & N., discovered the blaze at 10 o'clock when checking cars alongside the dock and notified David T. Brush, superintendent for the Pacific Coast Elevator Company, who succeeded In extinguishing it with buckets of water. Pieces of lumber two Inches thick and 10 inches wide, which had been thrown on the pile, were ablaze at the time. "In 10 minutes the dock would have caught without question." said Mr. Brush. "In my opinion the only reason the person who started It did not be gin operations beneath the dock was the fact that if he was caught there it would have been decidedLy unpleasant for him, while in starting it between the track and the dock he had an op portunity to dodge between the cars there and sneak away among trains on the other side. "The fire was on a line with the ele vator itself and had it gained hold un der the dock I doubt if we could have controlled it. Grass and debris around the spot arc absolutely dry and in flammable and would have carried the flames like so much paper." Dock oqr Old Fire Scene. The Elevator dock is the next dock south of the site of Oceanic dock which burned July 5 and Is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. The Elevator dock lies several blocks below the location of Montgomery dock No. 1 and Columbia dock No. 2, which were burned to the ground March 12. The fire of June 3, which razed the plant of the Northwest Door Company, adjoining Columbia dock No. 2, and spread to two sections of Irving dock, was said by some to have started from burning embers on the site of Colum bia dock No. 2, while others contended that circumstances pointed to the fire as being of incendiary origin. West Side Not Harmed, There have been no fires on the West Side docks, where general cargo is handled principally. The East Side is thought to have been selected by a firebug, who is either mentally de ranged or has a grudge against grain or insurance Interests. Immediately after the Elevator dock fire was discovered Harbormaster Speier made an investigation and later City Detective Tichenor was assigned to the case. As considerable wheat is on the dock and more is lying In cars being unloaded, with additional ship ments on the way from the Interior, its destruction would have entailed great loss. Thoroughly convinced that there is a plan afoot on the part of one or more persons to burn Portland's grain storage facilities, those in charge of the docks are maintaining a strict watch.
