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?

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

DO YOU KNOW THAT- .
Oregon is the only state in the Union that ever reduced the number
of its normal schools? - '
Only five states in the Union have a smaller equipment for normals
than Oregon would were all three of its schools running?
Oregon's schools must find over 1000 new teachers each year?
Eighty per cent of the applicants for teachers' certificates in Oregon
last year had received no training above the eighth grade?
The Southern Oregon State Normal was successfully conducted for
fourteen years until the Legislature deadlocked over the regular
appropriation?
It has a plant ready to open up tomorrow, sufficient to meet all re
quirements for several years?
Not one of Southern Oregon's counties has an educational institution
to which the state contributes a dollar of .support?
To the average taxpayer of the state this school will mean less than
two cents per year? To the man with property assessed at $4000
it means the price of one cigar a year ?
This school is to train the trainers of your children?

Cherry is the wood most used as a
backing for the metal plates from
which illustrations are printed in
magazines and periodicals. It is chosen
above all others because It holds its
shape, does not warp or twist, works
smoothly and does not split.
Two Governors those of Oregon and
Massachusetts have suspended the
hunting season, this year because of
Increased danger of forest fires when
the woods were exceptionally dry.
The position of City Forester is now
offering a new field for men with a
technical training in forestry. Fitch
burg. Mass., is one of the latest towns
to secure an official of this sort.
Because of extreme drouth the fire
risks on the National forests in the
Northwest have been greater this sea
son than in any other since 1910, the
worst year since the forests were
created. Much lese damage wa3 done
this year, because experience in fire

culed in City.
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

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.
