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.

The river has fallen more than three
feet since the Santa Catalina was
beached, but the removal of several

situation are sanguine she will, stUft

. 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.

lOSTOFFICE BAK WORK IS OX
Dredging Stopped on Lower Willam

Extensive improvements outlined by
the Port of Portland Commission for
Postoffice Bar, and which were start

with th advent of the June freshet,
will be completed by the 30-inch suc

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

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.

Discharging Portland Grain.
Writing from Omensberry, England,

" 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."
