Apparently the O.-W. R. & N. boat
lines do not come under the prohi
bition laid down by the Panama Canal

lines. Whether there may not be some
technical competition, however, was
n.idered open to discussion, the u.

state Commerce Commission that will

day on the O.-W, R. N. Company's
application for leave to continue steam
boat service on the Upper Snake River,
between Riparia and Lewlston. and on
l.ake Couer d'Alene. Yesterday's testi
mony had to do with the company's
operation of steamboat service between
Portland and Astoria, Megler. Wash.,
llwaco. Wash., and way points.
No contestants have appeared against
any of the petitions. The only cross
examination of witnesses yesterday was
by Commissioner Hall, who went Into

the relation between rates over the
O.-W. R. & N. boats and its water com
petitors. Captain E. H. Works, assistant super

the Snake rivers.
Captain Works declared that even
when the Celllo Canal is finished boats
drawing: live feet or more can be oper
ated between Portland and Lewiston.
Idaho, only In April, May and June, be
cause of the many rapids navigable

the O.-W. R. & N. had gone out of the
passenger business on the Snake River
Ince the building of a road on the
north bank of that river, and now han
dles freight only.
Grain Traffic Shown.
He also testified that the O.-W. R.
N. has not entered the rate war insti
tuted by other companies between
Portland and Astoria.
M. H. Houser. Portland grain ex
porter, said that his grain shipments
were worth 112,000.000 last year. He
said that he got about 30.000 tons of
grain from territory tributary to the
Snake River.
'If it wasn't for the assurance of tha
boats. I certainly wouldn't buy any
wheat there," he said emphatically.
Auditor Blaisdell, of the O.-W. R. &
X, was a witness In the afternoon,
after a recess had been taken at 11
o'clock as a tribute to Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson. Mr. Blaisdell declared tha
llwaco Railroad & Navigation Com
pany, which connects with the O.-W.
A. N. boats at Megler and runs up
North Beach to Nahcotta, Wash., had
never paid any profits.
"Why did the O.-W. R. & N. Com
pany get control of this road?" Com
missioner Hall was moved to ask by
Mr. Blalsdell'8 tale of financial woe
Mr. Blaisdell said that he didn't know.
R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the
O.-W. R. & N.. testified to passenger
and freight rates on the Lower Colum
bia River steamboats and the llwaco
Railroad. He declared that there was
not enough business to carry the road
If the Summer beach travel should be
eliminated.

Only six witnesses were called by
W, W. Cotton, general attorney for the
O.-W. R. & N. Company, who conducted

CHARTER
DANGER
Order for British Bark to Load
Grain May Be Canceled.
OTHER WITHDRAWALS PEND
Andromeda, Fixed to Transport
Cargo to United Kingdom, Likely
to Be Released by Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., Due to War.
Due to the war abroad and inability
of exporters to obtain quotations on
war risks, it has been virtually deter
mined to cancel the charter of the
British bark Andromeda, which arrived
on Puget Sound from Auckland August
6 to load grain for the United King
dom. News of this intended move as
planned by Balfour, Guthrie & Com
pany, her Charterers, was responsible
yesteraay lor reports tnat otner cnar
terers may take the same action in
some cases. In that event tramp steam
ers will be involved.
The German steamer Wotan, recently
engaged to load coal at Newcastle for
Hind, Rolph & Company and work
barley within the Golden Gate for
Europe, has been canceled as to both
charters. The grain fixture was made
by Balfour, Guthrie & Company.
Other Cancellations Expected.
The British steamer Harpathian is
another expected to be canceled. She
has reported at San Francisco from
Hongkong, and was consigned to
Strauss & Company for barley loading.
So far nothing has been done toward
canceling charters of vessels fixed for
lumber.
J. W. Ganong, vice-president of the
Portland Flouring Mills Company, says
that charter parties provide that ad
vantage must be taken within 14 days
of a declaration of war to cancel char
ters. For that reason additional can
celations will have to be made during
the next few days so far as they will
effect vessels bound here. Events
dealing with the European disturb
ance show that Austria declared
war on Servia June 28. The Ger
man declaration of war on Russia
was dated August 1, and there are a
number of German vessels listed, as
well as two of the Russian flag. War
was declared between France and Ger
many August 3, and there is French
tonnage bound here. Great Britain de
clared war on Germany' August 4, a
step that has a bearing, so far as can
celations may go, on the largest num
ber of vessels.
Risk Up to Owners.
In the case of those vessels not can
celed it is pointed out that they may
be loaded and cleared, and then it Is up
to the owners to get them to sea, as the
charterer's responsibility terminates.
Several cargoes of grain, yet to be
loaded, have been sold, so it is regarded
certain those vessels will proceed here
and receive their cargoes. Unless the
risk of capture diminishes, it is thought
most of the fleet will be loaded and
remain in the river pending develop
ments. It is reported that at warehouses In
the interior there Is congestion, and
a means of relief wheat is being
moved to tidewater to be stored in
docks, although there are no vessels
being loaded foreign.
DOCK WORK HALTS FERRY
If One 'Slip Is Vacated Municipal
Dock Can Be Extended.
To permit piling to be driven along
side the slip, which adjoins Municipal
Dock No. 1 on the north, the Lower
Albina Ferry tied up at 11 o'clock yes
terday and will resume service this
morning from the Seventeenth-street
pier. It has been suggested that the
ferry operate regularly from Lower
Albina to the upper ferry slip on the
West Side, between Mersey dock and
the plant of the American Can Com
pany, alternating with the upper ferry,
so the Seventeenth-street slip could
be utilized for the erection of a pier
on the north side of the municipal
dock slip, thereby making it possible
to handle two large steamers there at
a time.
Bids were opened at the office of the
Commission of Public Docks yesterday
for constructing timber foundation
walls for a one-story warehouse to be
erected In the rear of the dock, the
lowest tender being that of the Port
land Bridge & Building Company In
the sum of $3990. Other figures were:
Cowlitz Bridge Company, $5695; E. F.
Cantine, $4838; A. C. U. Berry, $5295;
Pearson Construction Company, $6790;
John Almeter, $4100; Andrus & Bode,
$4947; Tranchell & Parelius, $4990;
Guthrie, McDougall & Company, $4451,
and C. C. White, $5100.

the dock for a lengthy period.

in about two weeks it is expected the

are few chances prospective for sail
ors to get berths among vessels In the
river because of the war in Europe
that has tied up foreign shipping.
The Norwegian steamer Christian
Bors came into the river from San
Francisco yesterday to discharge
sulphur and hardwood and load lum
ber for the Orient, and like the Jap
anese vessels working lumber for the
Far East, she will be dispatched with
out fear. The British steamer Hazel
Dollar, also from San Francisco to load
for ports across the Pacific, showed up
off the bar at 8 o'clock. Being under
the British colors it is not known
whether she will be held until condi
tions are more favorable.
EIGHT SAVED FROM LAUXCH
Obstruction In Harbor Struck by
Heather, "Which Is Damaged.
Eight persons, men and women, nar
rowly escaped a ducking and possibly
more serious consequences late Sunday
night when the launch Heather, in
which they were riding, struck a float
ing object near the Burnslde-street
bridge and was damaged so she began
to settle, but fortunately Ash-street
dock was reached and the passengers
landed before the launch was sub
merged. The harbor patrol launch towed the
disabled craft to Supple's yard for re
pairs. Sunday passed without any other
serious accidents to the river mosquito
fleet, though hundreds of them were
out and both banks of the stream above
Portland as far as Oregon City and be
low to the mouth of the Willamette
were dotted with picnic parties.
FRESH HALIBUT IN MARKET
Decorah Sells Catch on Arrival From
Off Oregon Coast.
Malarkey & Co. and the Portland
Fish Company have contracted for the
entire catch of the halibut schooner
Decorah, which arrived from off
Yaquina yesterday and begins dis
charging this morning at the foot of
Yamhill street. She has aboard 16,000
pounds of halibut and 1000 pounds of
ling and black cod and red snappers.
Robert A. Reid, secretary and treas
urer of the Northwest Fish Company,
operating the Decorah and the
schooner Gazelle, said that the ven
ture is proving successful, as there Is
an increased demand here for fresh
halibut, and shipments from Puget
Sound are falling off. In the past the
Portland market has looked to Puget
Sound for halibut and it has been said
that choice parts of the catch remained
in the north.
