HIGH TIDE MAY BE AID Dredge to Be TTscd ' to Release H?i rued Vl If i Tt FTnfl. Discharging of Cargo to Be Finished Here. Efforts are to be made' at noon to float the Grace liner Santa Catalina, near Columbia City, where she was beached a week ago Sunday after fire was discovered in her f lreroom. Crews of the Diamond O fleet, which con ''tracted to pump water and oil from the damaged steamer, hud almost com. pleted their tusk yesterday afternoon and by night they expected to have all fuel oil pumped from the engine room, water having been removed from other compartments. The Diamond O rigged four large pumps to perform the work and in ad dition steam was furnished last night to operate the Santa Catalina's pumps, so with facilities thereby materially increased It was thought that the liner would be ready to be floated to day. The plan today Is to begin haul ing on the ship shortly before noon, so as to have her in motion if possible when the tide is highest. lred-e May Be Used. Should the attempt ta.fl a dredge Will be engaged to dig her out. The river has fallen more than three feet since the Santa Catalina was beached, but the removal of several hundred tons of fuel oil, the destruc tion of certain cargo, and the fact her superstructure amidships was wiped out. combines to malce less weight and. rivermen familiar with the situation are sanguine she will, stUft into deep water without much trouble. . Insurance representatives are on the ground, so that as soon as the ship reaches Municipal Dock No. 1 her dis charge will be facilitated as much as possible and adjustments made. Then a survey will be conducted by Captain I Veyser, Lloyd's surveyor here, and it will be determined what steps are to be followed as to repairs. federal Investigation On. About the same time United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller will conclude their investigation s.s to the accident and fix responsibility should they determine such a course is justi fied. News is expected soon as to meas ures Grace & Co. will adopt to con tinue the present service by chartering at least ono additional steamer. It has been estimated that repairs can be completed in three months at least, but meanwhile cargo is being engaged and equipment must be obtained to move it. lOSTOFFICE BAK WORK IS OX Dredging Stopped on Lower Willam ette by June Freshet Resumed. Extensive improvements outlined by the Port of Portland Commission for Postoffice Bar, and which were start ed early in the year but abandoned with th advent of the June freshet, will be completed by the 30-inch suc tion dredge Willamette, which started to widen and deepen the cut yesterday afternoon. The dredge Columbia is making such progress at Reeder's that it is intended to relieve her the first of the week. The Willamette dredged the last ma terial in front of the new O.-W. R. & N. dock site Tuesday. She had been there for over two weeks, and head way was necessarily slow, as she en countered asphalt, -ends of piling and other debris, and had to wait until the skeleton of an old barge was removed from immediately in fvont of the dock Bite. :new ship reaches harbor Atlantic Comes From Boston as First in Xen Service. flaking her initial bow to Portland's waterfront, tho new liner Atlantic, of the Boston-Pacific fleet, tied up at Mu nicipal Dock No. 1 last night, complet ing her maiden voyage. The vessel is consigned to Statter & Co., Port land agents, and will be looked after also by R. T. Johns, of Hind, Rolph & Co., Coast agents for the fleet, who is In the city from San Francisco. When the Atlantic was launched aome .marine critics pronounced her hull the most graceful ever turned out in America for a commercial steamer. Her length, over all. is 405.9 feet and 388'feet between perpendiculars. The beam is 64.4 feet and moulded depth 31.8 feet. She is rigged with three pole masts and two king posts, having a boom capable of lifting 25 tons, and 12 of five tons, operated by nine winches. She is rated a modern cargo carrier in every respect. The vessel turns back here for Boston,' completing her load at San Francisco, and the Pacific, her sister ship, is on the way to Puget Sound with her first cargo. CARGO TO BE CARRIED FIRST Russian Lino Does Sot Expect to Book Pasengers at Outset. Misleading information is said to have been given out on Puget Sound to the effect the Russian Volunteer As sociation, which is prepared to operate a large fleet of steamers between Vladivostock and Vancouver, B. C, making either Puget Sound or Port land also, is about to establish agencies for handling passenger business. Bal four, Guthrie & Co. are Pacific Coast agents for the line and represen tatives of that firm aver that they have not been advised that it is planned to eeek passenger business at the outset. It is realized that as an official an nouncement was made of the coming of the line Tuesday, some time will be required for firms here to get in touch with Russian buyers, so the first car goes may be light. The location of this city is held to be such that Vladi vostock can purchase here as well as in the north and that machinery and other freight from the East can be moved via Portland easier than via Puget Sound to be loaded. COAST TRAVEL IMPROVING JJoso City and Yucatan Sail AVitb Many Passengers for California. More than 150 were in the steerage and about 125 in the cabin of the liner Rose City when she hauled into the stream from Ainsworth dock at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the crowd was one of the best indications ' that passenger business is not to suffer long because, of the war and conse quent tightening of purse strings. For a time alter the European theaters of conflict opened travel on coasters was friven a setback, trains suffering as well as steamers, but that seems to have improved. The steamer Yucatan sailed last N evening for California porta- and is credited with a full list. Cargo offer ings are normal, but wheat is not go ing south in such large quantities as earlier in the month. The Bear is due today from California harbors with a fair list of passengers and average cargo. On the return of the steamer Rose City she is to undergo her annual inspection. CAPT. MATHEWS TO BE TRIED I .oss of Rochelle Prompts Supervis ing Inspector to Order Complaint. Acting under direct instructions from Captain John Bulger, supervising in spector of the district, with headquar ters at San Francisco. United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller yester day filed charges against Captain Mathews, a Columbia River bar pilot, who brought the steamer Rochelle into the river when she piled up on Clatsop Spit a weajc ago, of carelessness and negligence and set his trial for Novem ber 2.. - As the Rochelle was under register and came from Boat Harbor. B. C, with a cargo of coal, it was inferred that no steps could be taken against li censed officers but it was said that Captain Mathews had no state branch and Captain Bulger ordered that his Federal license be proceeded against. The Rochelle piled up on Clatsop Spit and turned over, catching fire soon after, and 'was totally destroyed, though it is thought that some of her machinery may be salved. It Is said that the Rochelle cost her owners JsO, 000 above what she had earned. CHILE'S CREW PRISON Sailor Tells of Seizure of Ship After Discharging Portland Grain. Writing from Omensberry, England, Eberhard Orech, a sailor on the Ger man bark Chile, which loaded wheat here in January, has narrated inter esting events of his experience for the benefit of friends he made at the Sea men's Institute here.

There are numerous other merchant men th.t flew the German flag seized at British ports when war was de clared and to care for the sailormen alone is said to have become a grave rcoponsiuimy. jamps have been es tablished, where they- fire held much the same as other prisoners of war, and Arech states that he and others of the Chile's crew are taking advan tage of the opportunity to study English.

Adv. u OKERS " 1 "DRY" AMEND! ADMITTED BY "BUYS" Big Blunder in Misleading "Prohibition Campaign" Is Made J. E. WHEELER, CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED EOT . ' - ADMITS in Public Print- That Prohibition is AN INFRINGEMENT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY. That the word "DISTRIBUTION" was DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT of the proposed "prohibition" amendment. That "ANY CITIZEN" may ship liquor "direct from some other state to HIS OWN HOME." Every Claim Made by the Anti-Prohibition Forces Again3t the Proposed Prohibition Amendment in Oregon Is Confessed in the Three Above Admissions. Tiie Anti-Proliibition Forces Steadfastly that-"Proliibition is an infringement of PERSONAL LIBERTY." Mr. Wheeler admits it word for -word in public print. that "Prohibition will not prohibit." Mr. "Wheeler's admission proves his Committee of One Hundred is not trying to prohibit. that "Prohibition does not mean drv Oregon." that "Prohibition would be a deafh blow to the present healthv growth of TRUE TEMPERANCE SEN TIMENT in the land." Mr. Wheeler's admission proves "it. that "Prohibition would let down the bars to BLIND-PIG GERS and BOOTLEGGERS, who would deal in deadly decoctions, "the same law allowing any "blind-pigger" with a HOME to ship liquor "direct from some other state to HIS own home. The BLIND-PIG GER is as much of a "CITIZEN" as any other man or woman in Oregon. The blind-pigger, because he is not under inspection bv State, Fed eral or City officials, will "manufacture" one barrel of PURE WINE, BEER or LIQUOR into a DOZEN BARRELS of POISONOUS BEVERAGES that will make a new generation of imbecDes, idiots and criminals in Oregon. . . . Mr. Wheeler's Three Blundering Admissions Are the Best Three Reasons Why His Misnamed, Misleading "Prohi bition" Amendment Is an Alarming Menace to the State IT IS AN ALARMING MENACE BECAUSE he would have the people of this state vote away their PERSONAL LIBERTY in the belief that they were voting for a "dry Oregon." BECAUSE he would take away the present splen did HOME RULE and LOCAL OPTION LAWS from the CITUES and TOWNS and transfer liquor traffic control to the state. BECAUSE, with all kinds of vile liquor being shipped in "FROM OTHER STATES" into "ANY CITIZEN'S HOME," not subject to Fed eral, state or Local inspection", it will be EN TIRELY UNREGULATED, and will become as "free as water." BECAUSE it will permit any BOY OR MAN to "ship" in whisky in any amount, without even having to SIGN HIS NAME with the TRANS PORTATION COMPANIES, as under the pres ent HOME RULE and LOCAL OPTION laws. BECAUSE it will in no way check the" IRRE SPONSIBLE DRINKER, whom a "prohibition law" is said to protect. BECAUSE it would wipe out- $900,000 in LI CENSE REVENUES in the state, without aid ing TRUE TEMPERANCE. BECAUSE it would seriouslv INCREASE . TAXES in the state, without aiding TRUE TEMPERANCE. BECAUSE it Avould seriouslv cripple the HOP YARDS and HOP INDUSTRY of the state, in jure a $3,000,000 ANNUAL PAYROLL OF 50, 000 HOP-PICKERS and sadly reduce $6,000,000 ANNUAL INCOME to the state from HOP SALES, without aiding TRUE TEMPERANCE, and BECAUSE it would force liquor into THOU SANDS of HOMES in this state, to be drunk WHOLESALE bv UNRESTRAINED DRINK ERS before the verv eves of the CHILDREN WHOM TRUE TEMPERANCE WOULD PRO TECT, thus dealing a serious blow to TRUE TEMPERANCE in the HOME, without in any way aiding TRUE TEMPERANCE, and BECAUSE it would build up an ARMY OF BOOT LEGGERS in the HIGHWAYS and BY WAYS, teaching HYPOCRISY, DECEIT AND LYING TO MEN AND. BOYS and WOMEN AND GIRLS, tdo thus dealing another serious N blow to TRUE TEMPERANCE, without in any way aiding TRUE TEMPERANCE. Read What Mr. Wheeler, Chairman of the "Pro hibition" Committee of One Hundred, says in his own words in the "official dry organ," The Evening Telegram of Portland, Sept. 20, 1914: "The 'wet' forces are seeking to make capital of the fact that the proposed Oregon dry amendment DOES NOT FOR BID THE 'DISTRIBUTION' OF LIQUOR, but merely its ' MANUFACTURE ' and ' SALE.' "THEY ARE CORRECT. This was done DESIGNEDLY and DELIBERATELY BY THOSE WHO DREW THIS AMENDMENT. Oregon has many citizens, especially many of foreign birth, who desire to have liquor IN THEIR HOMES. Thev feel that it would be a HARDSHIP and an INFRINGEMENT OF THEIR PERSONAL LIBERTY abso lutely to forbid them the use of liquor. "The present proposed law DOES NOT FORBID THE USE OF LIQUOR by any citizen, be he poor or rich, pro vided he wishes to have this SHIPPED DIRECT FROM SOME OTHER STATE TO HIS OWN HOME."
