Throwing 600 0 Gallons Water a Minute. ol WHEAT DEWD KEEN s 4- -v . a . ' , i o? -est , w . j- it -its:'-'"''", .' The old flreboat George H. Williams which has Just been rebuilt, yesterday net the full efficiency test prescribed by engineers in charge of the official test when it carried members of the city commission, city officials, the fire men's band and a number of invited guests from Portland to Llnnton and return at a speed of 12 miles an hour, throwing 6000 gallons of water a minute through seven outlets. ' The old boat was put back In service ' after the test. Within a few days she will take Jhe berth of the new flre boat David Campbell, which is to under go repairs. The boat left on the official test at t o'clock from the foot of East Market street. With the firemen's band playing a lively air, she steamed down the harbor. Whistling Is Answered. In response to the tooting of whistles from the mills and other boats along the way the Williams tooted her fog horn. After returning from the river test. the boat pulled up at the municipal boat landing at the foot of Stark street and an exhibition was given by both the Campbell and the Williams. The two boats Bhot streams In every direc tion, showing In excellent manner the prctection Portland now has for her waterfront, feoth boats threw streams and maneuvered in exciting fashion. Credit for the success .of the re building of the. old flreboat Is given the municipal repair shops. The entire job cost $22,000, which was considerably under the estimated cost when the work was first Btarted. W. J. Phillips In Charge. Fred Ballln, a Portland engineer, was the architect for the pilot house and other parts of the boat. W. J. Phillips, who has charge of the muni cipal shops, was In direct charge of the mechanical work. He was as sisted by A. I. Sutherland in the capacity of assistant. The repairs consisted of the overhauling of the hull and all the machinery and the rebuild ing of most of the working parts. As the boat stands now, she is thoroughly modern. In the hold Is a chemical engine, the first to be In stalled on a flreboat. This is to be used in fighting small blazes in vessels or In mills. The boat has a water tower which when extended throws the nozzle 45 feet Into the air. There are 1Z hose outlets and two deck turrets. Refreshments were served during the test cruise. Ttiose who took the trip, Including Mayor Albee and City Com missioners Bigelow, Daly and Dieck, went into all parts of the boat, in specting the machinery, the pumps and omer worKlng parts. STEP TO KEEP CHAXXEL TAKEN Astoria Commission, to Trge Main tenance of Tongue Point "Way. Astoria, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) At the meeting, of the Port of Astoria Commission this morning, Vice-Chairman Wingate and Engineer Walsh were instructed to communicate with Colonel McKlnstry. United States En gineer's Corps, with a view to having the 'iongue Point channel maintained A report has been made to the effect that some of the pilots have reauest. ed that the lights and buoys in the Tongue Point channel be changed to the outer channel for the reason that there was only 23 feet of water in the Tongue Point channel, and it was less than loo feet in width. The port commission being advised ty the Engineers Department that this channel is adequate for shipping and has a depth of 26 feet, will urge the department.to retain the lights and buoys in their present position, and if possiDie secure the service of the dredge Clatsop at that point to still further improve the upper harbor cnannei. ine suDject will be placed before the engineers formally, together with the indorsement of the river pilots for the continuance of the j.ongue.point channel. PILOT'S LICENSE REVOKED Captain Mathews Loses Federal Ticket Through Koclielle Accident Captain H. A. Mathews, one of the best-known bar pilots, and who was in charge ot the steamer Rochelle, uctODer zi, when she piled up on Clat sop Spit, bound Into the Columbia River, and later was destroyed by fire, naa nis r eaerai license revoked yes terday by United States Inspectors jiKiwaras ana culler, Detore whom he was tried in the morning and found guilty of carelessness and negligence. Aiannemen contend that the Bten raises a new question, because of the provision of section 4401. of the United States revised statutes, applying to American vessels under register. Can tain Mathews signed on the Rochelle as second mate for the voyage to Boat Harbor and piloted her to sea, also taking charge when she was returning. He reported that Buoy No. 12. a lighted aid, was not burning when the Ro chelle started in and attributed the accident largely to that fact. News From Oregon Ports. COOS BAY. Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) The steamship Geo. w. Elder arrived from Portland today, having 75 pas sengers and considerable freight. On entering port the steam schooner Hardy, from San Francisco, shipped two heavy seas, but suffered no damage. It is reported. The" steamer Navajo arrived off the bar from Portland, but will not get lnsioe tonight, unless the fog lifts. Conditions at the bar indicate In creasing roughness and vessels due to sail tomorrow may not put out. Th fog signal Is sounding and the bar is obscured. The dredge Seattle has moved from the lower bay and resumed dredein between Marshfield and North Bend. The Seattle excavated a channel nearly three miles long In the lower bay, from Jarvis ljanding to Tarheel, with width of 300 feet and a depth of 25 xeet. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) me tank steamers Oleum and Asun cion sailed today for California, after aiscnaxging cargoes of fuel oil. The British steamer Gowanbnwn anrl Ventura de Lorrlnaga, both grain laden lor nurupo, are sun in tne lower bar Dor. Detng delayed on account of th rough bar and the high seas outside. U'h American-Hawaiian line steam Honolulan sailed from San Francisco yesterday for the Columbia River and should arrive about tomorrow morn-In. SWITCHING COST OFF Roads Agree to Move Cars to Docks Without Charge. SECOND ADVANTAGE GAINED Removal of Assessment Likely to Benefit Trade Materially, Espe cially Where Margins Fig ured Are Close. Advantages are coming thick and last for tlock owners and lessees in the way of concessions by railroads. the announcement of last week that wharfage charges would be absorbed on other than railroad-owned docks on cargo for trans-shipment being fol lowed yesterday by news that the Spo kane, Portland & Seattle Ilailroad would switch cars free originating at any point on that system, as well as on the United Railways and Oregon Electric roads, or destined for such points, to all West Side docks between Albers dock No. 1 and the O.-W. R. & N. "boneyard," which Includes the Eastern & Western mill. An amended tariff has been Issued showing that the ruling went into ef fect yesterday on interstate business and becomes effective November 28 on Interstate movements. In the past the O.-VV. 11. & N. has switched cars to those docks free, but if from a non-competitive point, the charge to con signees has been from $3 to $10 a car. With that eliminated on all Spokane Portland & Seattle business the docks to benefit will be Albers Nos. 1, 2 and 3, Columbia dock No. 1, Mersey, the Crown mill, coal bunkers. Municipal Dock No. 1, the American Can Com pany, Willamette Iron & Steel Com pany and. the Eastern & Western. W. C. Wilkes, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, said yes terday that the arrangement extends the terminals -of his company to the tracks of the Northern Pacific Terminal Com pany. The advantage is desirable par ticularly on non-competitive business. as in many cases the switching charge has been virtually prohibitive where close margain was being figured on. In the Willamette Valley shipments will be drawn, as well as much stuff from water points, and will be dis charged at the West Side docks and forwarded by rail. The change in tariff results from fforts put forth by City Commissioner Daly and the Commission of Public Docks, as the switching charge was as persistently fought as was the absorp tion on wharfage. It is said that tne rail lines willingly acquiesced when It was made plain that all were of accord. naturally neither being willing to grant the privilege when competing with the other for business. It is said that in return for granting the Spokane, . Portland & Seattle the Ight- to switch over the tracks ol tne Northern Pacific Terminal Company, the latter is to shift one of Its tracks onto right-of-way of the former west f Front street, so there -win De only one main line on .prom street. aa. change that Is expected to facilitate traffic materially and at the same time ot prove an obstacle to switching to any dock or Industry tracks. SOUTIIKKLY WEATHER BREAKS Beaver Comes From California With Winter Traveling List. Weather changes were frequent on the voyage of the flagship Beaver, of tho San Francisco & Portland, coterie, which terminated with her arrival at Ainsworth dock last evening. Captain Mason said northwest winds prevailed off the California coast for a time and then switched to southeast, while off Oregon and until Yaquina was reached, there was a general southerly breeze that worked around to the southwest and It appeared as If the weather was breaking. The Beaver brought a winter pas senger list, about 160 travelers, ana freight was about average. Had it not been for a breaking bar she would have made an early arrival, but sh came into the river at 9:15 and the Bear sailed . southbound before noon. The Beaver departs Saturday and the Rose City arrives Sunday. While In port this time the Rose City will be given her annual inspection. Movements ol Vessels. PORTLAND, Nov. (.

Foreign crop conditions are summartxed by Broomhall as follows: United Kingdom Weather is not desir able, out sowing is being pushed as rapidly as possible and an Increased acreage Is as sured. Native supplies are fair. France Farmers are sowing where it is advantageous, exoept in the war sone, which at present embraces about 1. 600.000 acres. This operation, on the whole. Is very back ward and much of the old crop Is still un gathered. Much agricultural damage Is con firmed. Supplies of native grain are light. Germany Weather favors seeding opera tions and this is being done with emphasis from official command, but labor Is scarce and advanced machinery Is Inadequate owing to lack of horses. Supplies of native grain have been liberal, but It la now becom-I in scarce, and this Is emphasized by strict 1 economy and rapid rise In prices.

RECEIPTS OF POULTBY ARE LARGE Last Week's Prices Are Still Quoted No Change in Butter. The street was well stocked with poultry esterday, and while the old prices were Quoted, the market was none too steady, There was a good demand for dressed pork at previous Quotations. . Veal was steady. The egg market continues very firm, sales being made at 37 M cents case count and 404SVi cents candled. The butter market Is unchanged and the undertone Is fairly steady. Prints are hold- lng at 34 H cents in box lots. Cheese Is moving at former Quotations. Sugar Miarket Is Unsettled. The sugar price Quoted by local Jobbers is still S6.30, as baaed on the latest refinery Quotation. Some concessions are being made, however, on speculative stock, which Is being offered at a tower price. This has tended to unsettle the market locally. The Quantity of such speculative sugar Is said to be limited, but while It last, the market is not likely to fall on the refinery schedule. Banana Market Is Firm. The banana market is very firm and prices are expected to advance . in the near future. The banana train is due today. G.apes are cleaning up, well on a firm market, Tokays selling at fl.SS. Other varieties are also scarce. A car of Eastern cranberries was unloaded yesterday. The apple movement is not lively. A car of los Angeles head lettuce is due today. Hop Buying Slows Lowit.
