NORTH BEACH
COLLECTIONS SHOW
LUMBER, GRAIN GAINS BIG
Bank Clearings, Due to Merger of
Two Institutions and General
Conditions, and Building Per
mits, Alone Are Iess.
With collections, the all-telling agency
of business, materially better than they
were a month ag"0, even before the
Kuropean war broke out, and substan
tial gains showing in lumber and grain
shipment, livestock receipts and postal
business, and with building permits
and bank clearings alone showing
decrease, business for the month of
August as reflected by the statistics
compiled yesterday was healthy.
The decrease in bank clearings is at
tributable to: First, the merger of the
Security Trust & Savings and the First
JSational Bank, which eliminated a cer
tain volume of check transactions, and
second, to general conditions, decrease
in foreign exchange due to the war
and stock transactions as they may
have affected Portland and the North
west immediately after the war broke
out in the early part of August.
In building permits the decline
$787,330, but Is explained in the fact
that several large buildings under
course of construction last year now
are finished. The number of struc
tures started In August this year was
485, with total value of $390,915, against
624 structures in August, 1913, valued
at $1, 168, 245.
The July, 1914, building permits were
E34 in number, valued at $870,745.
Postal Receipts Gain gOOOO.
The bank clearings for August were.
in round numbers, $10,350,000, a de
crease of about $5,000,000 from August,
1913.
Receipts at the postoffice for August
this year were $93,878.18, as against
$87,878.18 In August, 1913, or a gain
of $6000. Postal savings made a gain
of $50,000 during the month, or a
gain of about $1900 a day. War had
little effect save on international
money orders, on which the Govern
ment is "holding down," because, under
present conditions. It costs more to
transport gold to Europe than is cov
ered by the fee charged by the Govern
ment. Portland businessmen, who appreci
ate the value of the livestock traffic,
find satisfaction in the Union Stock
yards' showing. The total August run
was 4855 head greater than in the cor
responding month of last year. The
largest gain was In the hog market,
where the run was 10,254, as against
6241 head last year. Other figures
from the stockyards show the August,
1914, cattle run was 7872, against 7640
in 1913; calves 225, against 576; sheep
28,197, against 22,182. In cars the total
shows a gain of 60 cars, the 1914 total
being 505, and the 1913 total for August
445. Prices were firm throughout the
month this year.
Wheat and Flour Gain.
The wheat traffic, in the face of a
great crop, is glowingly reflected in
Portland with the August receipts for
this year 2,269,800 bushels as compared
with 1,584,700 bushels last August.
Flour showed a corresponding in
crease, 106,000 barrels, as compared
with 78.800 barrels last August. Oats
receipts were almost twice as heavy
being 3000 tons. Barley fell off from
3990 tons last year to 2625 this year,
and 2280 tons of hay were received as
compared with 6220 tons last year. In
this branch market prices are steadily
climbing, due to a heavy demand, and
California has opened up an unusually
favorable market at this time.
This condition resulted in the wheat
outgoing movement being heavier this
last month than in the corresponding
period of 1913. There were 680,464
bushels sent out as against 448,185
bushels in August, 1913. Off shore
movement has of necessity been af
fected unfavorably. Puget Sound ship
ments were slightly in excess of Port
land.
Lumber movements gained 4,303,658
feet over last August, the 1914 August
total being 39,345.810. In view of the
war situation this again is observed
with marked importance. Of the total
more than 24,000.000 feet moved
abroad.
General Exports Decreased.
Exports in general decreased, how
ever, in value from $690,803 to '"2.707,
but this was offset materially b-' coast
business.
Portland bankers and businessmen
view the collection situat'on with
marked satisfaction, the improvement
in due payments being laid to the big
Northwest crop, and the general good
condition of the United States food
stuffs production.
The effect the European war will
have on international business Is ex
pected to be offset partly, in time, by
the opening of new markets in the
continents not concerned directly in
the conflict.

NORWEGIAN BARK AXCIDE9.
Carrying approximately 4200 tons of Northwest wheat, the Norwegian bark Alcldes, which is working
at the North Bank dock, is to leave down tomorrow for sea. being the first sailer sent away from this
coast with wheat since England became involved in war. Four cargoes of barley have gone from San
Francisco and one cargo of wheat was sent from here August 21 aboard the British steamer Fernley.
The Alcides was loaded by the Northern Grain & Warehouse Company for Strauss & Co., charterers. She
is to be followed in a few days by the Norwegian bark Nordhav, which is loading at Irving dock for
M. H. Houser.
PORTLAND IS MECCA
September Opens Schedule of
Fleets for Port.
ATLANTIC STARTS TRIP
Vessels Begin Run Between Coasts,
Stopping Here to Receive and
Discharge Cargo First Are
Sew and Well Equipped.
September opens most auspiciously
for Portland's marine commerce, as the
initial day of the month marks the
linking of another port in the chain
of domestic business that is rapidly
being lengthened because of the Pan-
na Canal route.
This is the day set for the sailing
of the big new intra-coaster Atlantic
from Boston for this city direct Stat
ter & Company yesterday was named
;igent for the line and announced that
if possible the Atlantic will be given
her return cargo here, eliminating
Puget Sound.
It is the matden voyage of the ves
sel. She flies the flag of the Boston
Pacific line, that is backed by the
Emery Steamship Company, which has
figured in the maritime life of the At
lantic since 1857 and has a fleet of 13
vessels. Following the Atlantic will be
the Pacific, also recently completed,
scheduled to sail September 15. The
Atlantic is due October 6 and is bring
ing a cargo of approximately 1600 tons
of steel and Its products and consider
able general cargo.
Three Fleets to Visit East.
This city is not only favored by the
Boston-Pacific fleet in bringing the
Massachusetts metropolis in direct con
nection with Its commercial sphere, but
the Am.rican - Hawaiian Steamship
Company has added Boston to Its ports
of call as well and It is not improbable
the Atlantic-Pacific fleet, maintained
by W. R. Grace & Co., will do likewise.
And the development will not stop
there, as the American-Hawaiian makes
Charleston and Philadelphia, where the
others are expected to be drawn
through competitive business.
The Atlantic and Pacific are classed
in Lloyd's as 100 A-l and have a length
over all of 405.9 feet, beam (moulded)
54.4 feet and moulded depth of 31.8 feet.
The machinery is located aft and the
vessels are rigged with three pole
masts and two kingposts, having 15
five-ton and one 25-ton derrick booms
served by nine winches.
The hulls are of the single deck
type and water ballast is carried in the
double bottoms There are three cargo
holds with twin hatchways and
equipped with patent covers. With the
exception of one pillar In each hold
they are free of obstructions, permit
ting the easy and rapid handling of
bulky cargo and long lengths of lum
ber. Long; lOgm Easily Loaded.
In addition to the deck being fitted
for carrying lumber, ports are pro
vided through the shell forward for
loading long logs. In all propelling
equipment and other features the ves
sels are most modern and include such
facilities as a 28-ton evaporator and a
one-ton refrigerating machine.
The company has purchased a tract
of 14 acres at Boston that is being laid
out on the Mystic River and in the cen
ter of the harbor. The firm of Hind,
Rolph & Co. is Pacific Coast represen
tative of the fleet. L. E. Force, of the
San Francisco office, was here yes
terday with Ralph T. Johns, of the Se
attle office, to make preliminary ar
rangements. Municipal dock No. 1 was inspected
as well as Albers Bros', docks, and,
while the former may be patronized
when the slip and pier being built on
the north is finished. It Is probable the
first two ships will go to Albers' dock.
The two new steamers are of 9500 tons
deadweight capacity, and as the trade
increases it is promised that sufficient
tonnage will be added to take care of
It. A monthly schedule Is prospective
and, while the company Intends to do
considerable lumber business. It is an
nounced that the return cargoes will
include genel stuff as well.
POTTER GOES OX XIGHT RUN
Officers of Hassalo Shift to Side-
wheeler for Present.
Terminating her Summer schedule
the steamer T. J. Potter arrived from
Megler about 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing with one of the largest crowds of
beachers carried this season, every ac
commodation being taken and many
tardy ones had to court Morpheus on
cabin easy chairs. The steamer made
her first trip at 9 o'clock last evening
In place of the steamer Hassalo. and
will continue on the run until about
September 15, by which time it Is
thought most of the summer residents
-
on the Washington shore will have re
turned. Because of the change Captain Carl
son and Pilot Wagner, of the Hassalo,
were transferred to the Potter as
pilots. Captain Campbell remaining in
command. Captain McGraw, pilot on
the Potter, was assigned to the Harvest
Queen as first officer, and Purser
Tapscott, of the Hasalo, changed
berths wtih Purser Van Horn, of the
Potter, for two weeks, as the latter is
on his vacation.
WORK TO START OX SIGXAL
Federal Plants Await Official Word
on Rivers and Harbors Bill.
Immediately on the receipt of a tele
gram from the chief of engineers at
Washington, announcing that the riv
ers and harbors bill is signed, Colonel
McKinstry, in charge of the Second
Oregon District, and Major Morrow, di
recting projects in the First Oregon
District, are prepared to resume work
in full blast. Especially is that so with
reference to the north jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia, and The Dalles
Celilo Canal that is to connect the
Middle and Upper Columbia Rivers.
Being compelled to shut down all
projects has proved a serious handicap,
yet action was such that men were left
with all plants to keep them in oper
ating condition, so the principal step
to be taken is to re-engage the required
number of workers. If offlcal Informa
tion comes that money is available to
keep going until the next bill is passed
in the Spring, there will be no delay
during the Winter, except because of
weather drawbacks.
CHAXGES MADE EN SCHEDULE
Washlngtonian Sails From Portland
Through Canal September 15.
Changes In the original schedule of
the American-Hawaiian fleet via the
Panama Canal have been made known
to C D. Kennedy, Portland representa
tive of the company, to the effect that the
steamer Washlngtonian sails from here
September 15 with cargo for Charles
ton and Boston. It is assumed she will
carry New York shipments as well,
though that Is not officially set forth.
The steamer Isthmian does not come to
Portland, but the Ohloan sails Sep
tember 20 for Philadelphia and New
Yot k.
The Columbian sails from San Fran
cisco October 22, for Charleston, Phila
delphia and New York and Portland
cargo goes south on one of the coasters
to be carried by the Columbian. The
Georgian sails from Portland October
15 for Boston and New York and the
Montanan October 22 for New York,
the Texan sailing from San Francisco
November 17 for Charleston and New
York. Other sailings remain unchanged
at present.
GAIN JJADE IX WHEAT MOVED
Interrupted Exportation Is Made XJp
by Domestic Demand.
Heavy buying in California resulted
in a combined movement of wheat from
Portland of 680,464 bushels as against
448,185 bushels in August, 1913, though
for the month ending yesterday only
one offshore grain cargo was sent away,
that being carried on the British
steamer Fernley for Liverpool and
amounted to 20S.645 bushels valued at
$178,000. Puget Sound wheat ship
ments were slightly In excess of those
from here, being 669.414 bushels.
California was the only region to
obtain flour and shipments there were
40,171 barrels. Some of that was in
tended for reshipment to Central and
South America though Portland does
not receive credit in the export column
for the business, as it is exported from
San Francisco. For the season to date
Portland has floated 1,204,152 bushels
of wheat and from Puget Sound 842.927
bushels were sent away. Regardless
of any change in the war situation
there Is reason to expect a big gain
in the cereal moved this month.
TCQ AXTJ BARGE GO OX ROCKS
Ixrne and America Said to Be Total
Losses Off San Jnan Island.
SEATTLE. Aug. 31. The Canadian
tugr Lome, the most powerful vessel of
her kind on the Pacific Coast, and the
barge America, formerly a famous
China clipper, went on the rocks one
mile west of Kanaka Bay, San Juan
Island, last night in a dense fog and
are reported to be total losses.
The America was loaded with coal
and was being towed from Seattle to
Vancouver. She was owned by Grif
fiths & Sons, of Seattle, and was val
ued at $20,000, with small insurance.
The coal, valued at $37,000, was owned
by the Pacific Coast Company and was
covered by insurance.
The Lome was owned by the Puget
Sound Tugboat Company, was valued
at $60,000, and was not insured.
LUMBER SHIPMENTS CLIMB
Last Month Exceeds Showing Re
corded In August, 1013.
Total lumber shipments from Port
land for August were 39,345,810 feet,
a gain over the corresponding month
last year of 4, SOS. 658 feet, which Is
viewed as most encouraging because
of the Influence the war has had on
shipping generally. Of the amount 24
324,947 feet valued at $281,559 was ex
ported and 15,020,863 feet represents
domestic shipments to Alaska, Call

E SHIPS REJECTED
CANCELLATION OF CHARTERS AN
OTHER RESULT OF WAR.
Vessels In Demand Are Quickly Re
Engaged at Advanced Rates Lum
ber Loading Not Affected.
War abroad has led to additional can
cellations of charters for new season
loading, lumber engagements not being
disturbed. The latest list of ships re
jected comes from San Francisco and
includes the British steamer Karoo,
which was engaged by G. W. McNear to
proceed to the Golden Gate from Bris
bane and take on barley for the United
Kingdom. The British steamer Har
burg was to have been dispatched from
the California harbor by Strauss & Co.
with barley for the other side and is
about due from Manila.
The British steamer Harpathian was
canceled at the instance of her owners
and immediately re-engaged by Strauss
& Co. at an advance of 3s 6d. the rate
being 33s 6d. The owners of the Brit
ish steamer Harmatris are said to have
takn the same action as to the charter,
ar.d the French bark Ville de Havre,
fixed by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to load
general cargo at Hamburg for San
Francisco, has been canceled.
As charter parties are not clear on
several points arising from the war.
exporters have wondered what might
be done in cases when owners arbi
rarily cancel charters. Commenting on
that feature the London Fairplay says:
On important point which has been be
fore owners has been the validity of char
ter parties entered Into betore the war.
Acting under advice of their club secreta
ries some owners are canceling these con
tracts on the ground that the outbreak of
war renders it Impossible to carry them out
on the same terms, as the freight agreed
upon does not enable owners to effect an
insurance against the risk of capture.
In some cases the vessels are being re
chartered at an increased rate of freight, so
that if the charterers consider It advisable
thy can take the case to court, and the
damage they can claim will be the Increased
freight they have had to pay. It is consid
ered, however, that the owners are quite
right In the action they are adopting, and
there is no doubt that the clubs will stand
behind them in any disputes that might
arise out of their refusal to carry out the
original charter.
