18 THE MOHXING OREGOMAX. WEDNESDAT. OCTOBER 28. 1914. SHIPPING RUSH IS DUE AT CITY DOCK Outbound Cargo Being Assem bled and Several Vessels to Unload Freight. . WORK ON WINCHES PUSHED Plans for Occupancy of Wharf Xo. 2 Being Made and Lines Han dling Passengers Lilkely Will Be Induced to Tse It. Outbound cargo being assembled for several vessels, as well as inbound shipments being ' discharged and those due within the next week, will make Municipal Dock No. 1 a busy place. The British steamer Oristano, which ar rived early Monday, put out 965 tons of European stuff,- and the Atlantic, due tomorrow from Boston, "has 1103 tons to discharge. The Royal Mail liner Merionethshire sails from . Vancouver for Portland tonight with 400 tons and the liner Den of Airlie. whHrh comes next week, will have 730 tons. The Grace steamer Santa.. Catalina, expected to be towed to the dock this week from Columbia City, where she was beached after fire broke out, will have 2000 tons to unload, as freight for Puget Sound must be unloaded as well as that billed for Portland, and the Santa Cecilia, of the same flag, is to come along November 11 with 1500 tons. - Three to Load Outward Carsoes. The Merionethshire, Den of Airlie and Atlantic are to load outward cargo ct the same dock, and with 550 tons of that already assured and probabilities that 1000 tons of flour will be added, considerable more floor space will be occupied. The Japanese-' steamer Kon posan Maru, now discharging Oriental cargo at San Francisco, is to bring 1000 tons of sulphur and a shipment of hardwood to this harbor, but as yet no promises have been made to accommo date it on Dock No. 1. Work on the installation of electric winches, to be operated in conjunction with cargo booms, erected when the dock was built, is being hurried and soon after November 1 they will be available. Steamships that have util ized the cargo booms with their own gear and ship winches have saved IS per cent in time over the rate with which they discharge at San Franciseo ami on Puget Sound, while with the electric dock winches in place and two Bangs of longshoremen working- at each hatch, it is calculated that 25 per cent can be saved. The Commission of Public Docks is rot hampered in the matter of dis charging or loading vessels, providing all can be accommodated as they ar rive, but to avoid a congestion of freight, consignees will be solicited to move their goods without delay. . Warehouse Golnff Up. The. warehouse is -In course of con struction and when that is finished, which will be about December 1, cer tain shipments can be moved from the ship through the dock and Into stor age in the warehouse, while now only space is to be placed at the disposal of cargo that is contained within the first unit of the dock, as the second unit is being built as well as the open dock alongside the slip and pier at the north end of the property. Already plans are under way for the occupancy" of Dock No. 2, on the East Side, and it is not improbable that oteamship lines handling passengers will .be interested, as the commission plans to make the dock attractive and comforts, for passengers will be pro vided. As It is only two blocks north of the east approach of the Morrison street bridge, carlines are convenient, and it is said the hauling charge on baggage and freight would be the same to and from that dock as to and from those on the West Side. GRAIN' SHIP 17EAVES CORRAL Only Two Vessels Detained at Unn- ton Unloading Ballast. Merchants Exchange reports yester day Included news that the Norwegian bark Hafrsfjord had sailed October 23 from Corral, on the West Coast, for Portland- She arrived there August 6 from Newcastle. N. S. W., and is to load here with grain for the United King dom. The French bark General de Sonis left here about 11 o'clock yesterday, fully laden with grain for England. An earlier start planned was postponed be cause of fog. Favorable weather is proving a big help for sailing vessels in getting away from the river and the General de Sonls may tarry little at Astoria, as in the case of the Seman tha, which arrived down Monday and before night was towed to sea. The . Queen Elizabeth is at Linnton to dis charge ballast and there is but one other carrier there, the Invercoe. Both will be in the harbor within a week to receive cargo. KENTUCKIAN LEAVES PORT Xcw York-Portland Line Schedule Extended to December 7 Laden with the first Portland ship ments for Honolulu via the American Hawaiian t?ne the steamer Kentuckian departed last night and goes via Puget Sound to the mid-Pacific group, where sugar will be taken aboard for New York delivery. An extension of the schedule of the line shows that the present temporary card can be depended on until Decem ber 7, when the steamer Ohioan is due to arrive from New York. The Hono lulan comes November 5 and the Iowan November 14, while the Panaman ar rives November 18 in place of the Da kotan, which was originally scheduled for that voyage. The Nevadan re turns November 24, the Isthmian No vember 27, and the Pennsylvanian De cember 3. The American-Hawaiian service is more frequent than shippers had - looked for with the opening of ttae Canal and is the same as that ac corded San Francisco, except that the few carriers of the largest type are diverted to the Hawaiians from there. BILLINGS TO LOAD LUMBER J-'Icet of 20 Carriers Chartered on Coast Last Week. On the departure from Port Town Fend yesterday of the schooner Geo. E. Billings it became known that Balfour, Guthrie & Co. had chartered the vessel to load lumber here for Australia. For the week ending October 24 there were 20 vessels chartered on the Coast, 15 of which are for grain,- four were for lumber and one on time char ter to handle merchandise. Three have been fixed this week and negotiations are under way for others. The pros pects are that during November Port land will have a larger fleet under charter than during the same period for many years. Ujdrographic Notice. Captain C. W. Delano, -of the stea mer Kentuckian. reports that at 10:18 A. M-, October 24, when seven mile? south 50 west due from Cape Blanco, passed a spar about 50 feet long, with cross trees attached, evidently fast to sunken wreck. IS. R. SMITH - Lieut, (j. g.) IT. S. N. in Charge. Marine Xotes. Though the steamer Breakwater was scheduled to Bail last night for Coos Bay.- her departure was postponed until-this morning because she went on drydock and was delayed being floated in. time to load. United States ' Inspectors Edwards and Fuller have not announced a de cision regarding the loss of the steam er Rochelle on Clatsop Spit last week, though they held an investigation a few days after. It is said on the water front that as the Rochelle was operat ing under a register from Boat Harbor, B. C. the Federal authorities have no jurisdiction in fixing the responsibility. - .Captain W. W. McCully has returned to the pilot-house of the steamer Lur line after a respite of two weeks ashore, relieving Captain L. O. ilos ford. On the British steamer Strathdene, which sailed Monday night for Adel aide, carrying - considerable lumber, were 1340 cases of salmon. Captain Ahlin, master of the steamer Camino, of the Swayne & Hoyt fleet, which was formerly on the Portland San Francisco run, has written from New York, where the ship recently ar rived, that on her return to San i m cisco she probably will be ordered to Portland to load lumber for the Wast Coast. To begin working wheat, the British bark Invercoe will shift into the harbor this morning from Linnton, berthing at the elevator dock. The work of discharging the British steamer Oristano was not completed last evening, so her departure for Pu get Sound will be today. Sailors aboard the British steamer Ventura de Larrlnaga have requested that they be paid off. as they are na tives of Spain, and fear that the tramp may be captured by a German war vessel. The matter was referred to British Consul ,rskine yesterday, and Jast night Harbormaster opeier de tailed one of his men keep tab on the crew. News From ' Oregon Ports. ASTORIA, Or, Oct.' 27. (Special.)

MERCHANTS ARE QUOTED E. B. Lockhart, City Editor of Salem Statesman, Tears to Pieces What He Calls Lies of Wet Attorney. Statements published yes terday by the "Taxpayers and "Wage-Earners 'League'' that Salem and Oregon City are not prosperous are de nounced in those cities as a tissue of lies. Leading citizens of Oregon City are today preparing an answer to the latest efforts of the brewers. " Regarding Salem, Joseph IT. Albert, cashier of the Capital National Bank, says: "I do not know of a city anywhere where business is as good as it is m Salem. As a mater of fact, bank de posits have increased in both cities. The Committee of One Hundred has obtained from E. B. Lockhart, city editor of the Salem Statesman, an answer to the Turner state ment, " which is published herewith. Turner was man ager and secretary of the wet organization m the re cent fight to make Salem dry. BY E. B. LOCKHART. City Bdltor of the Halem Statesman. 1 John D. Turner sacrifices the fair reputation of Salem on the altar of the drinkshop. Bankers, merchants and business men are today denouncing this man who deliberately states what he knows are not the facts. John D. Turner is associated with Carson & Brown, attorneys for the wets in the several eases brought into the courts here to keep -Salem wet John D. Turner was the manager and secretary of the wet organization, which was supported almost entirely by the brewers, saloon keepers and allied interests. Salem Is Indignant. Which gives an interesting light on why Mr. Turner chooses to malign the city in which he lives. Indigna tion here is so general at his cam paign of misrepresentation that the Turner misstatements probably cost the brewers several hundreds of Votes in Salem and Marion County. As to business: I prefer to accept the statements of responsible business for Owls f IT Just UKf V fYHITT To STEW V THE BEAnS!l r men to those of a young attorney who has been here but a few years. Salem Business Better. The Myers Department Store says: "Business is 10 per cent ahead of last year." U. G. Holt, manager of the logging department, Spaulding Logging Com pany: "Plant will run full force all winter. More men have been taken on since January 3, when the town went dry. The local demand (city sales) for material is 10 per. cent heavier, showing the Salem dry has meant more building and better business." Officers of the Capital National Bank and Salem Bank of Commerce say bank deposits have increased. Banker Says Trade Good. Joseph H. Albert, cashier Capital National Bank, says: "I do not know a city anywhere where business is as good as it is in Salem todaj-. As a banker I am in a position to know." Mr. Turner says none of the Cher riaus are prohibitionists. The facts of the case are a number of them worked hard to put the city dry and are doing the same to put the state dry because it will mean better busi ness all around. One of them, when he read Mr. Turner's statement, was so indignant that he used language that would not look well in print. When Mr. Turner, gives the school attendance figures he evidently had a brainstorm. - School Attendance Better. The attendance this year in excess of last year has broken all records. The statement of the principal of tire high school is that the attendance there is tremendous for a city of this size. "Several of the best buildings in town have their windows boarded up to serve as billboards," says Mr. Turner. -This is not true. One has. It was formerly a saloon. The owner had an opportunity to rent the building. He is now in Germany. A concern was anxious to move to the capital city and put in a $50,000 stock, but the owner preferred to board up the building. Both daily newspapers have spent thousands of dollars on im provements. Better business is the reason. Saloons Are Occupied. Mr. Turner says: "All the build ings occupied a year ago by saloons are vacant except six." This is a lie. All but four are oc cupied with other business, some with the expenditure of thousands of dol lars. These four probably will be occupied this year. Mr. Turner claims there are "more than 500 modern dwelling houses va cant. A real estate man from Port land informed me there is one vacant house in Salem to five in Portland. Portland is wet; Salem is -dry. Different real estate men tell me not one good house is vacant in Sa lem. Incidentally, I may say, the school attendance shows Mr. Turner is far from the truth. Building permits are slightly less than they were a year ago. That is the same the country over. Mr. Turner says they are $120,000 less. Rubbish! The correct figure is $60, 000 less. And so it goes on, every statement is untrue; every statement garbled. Mr. Turner's article is a jungle of words silly, silly words and no one knows it better "than he. His "argu ments" but why dignify them with that title? Just let his remarks go as a joke and a very ill-timed one at that. Iaid adTertiment by the Committee of One Hundred, ;8 Jdorsaa blda..ronland.
