CLARKE COUNTY IS READY Remaining $400,000 Worth of Se curities to Be Sold at Same Time . Multnomah Disposes of Its $1,000,000 Worth. Action was taken yesterday by the mdvisory bonding committee of the in terstate bridge, meeting- with the County Commissioners and' a delegation from Clarke County, to ask for bids for the remaining $1,000,000 in bridge bonds as Boon as advertisements can be pre pared. The Vancouver delegation ex pressed willingness to go ahead with the sale of the $500,000 worth of bonds to be issued by Clarke County to be devoted to the bridge fund, and the Advisory committee, consisting of Dis trict Attorney Evans, Henry Teal and Charles K. Williams, was directed to prepare the form of the advertisement and report at a special meeting to be beld tomorrow. Present yesterday were Messrs. Evans, ' Teal and Williams, County Commis sioners Holman, Lightner and Hart, County Clerk Coffey, County Auditor William Marshall and County Commis sioner A. Rawson. both of Clarke County, Washington. Two Plana to Be Ottered. Tenders will be asked for the pur chase of interstate bridge bondc to be delivered on two alternative proposi tions. One calls for the entire issue of $1,000,000, to be delivered within 20 days after the award to the highest bidder, and the other will ask for ten ders on the same amount of securities to be delivered in two, four or six months, it being the plan to deliver certain parts of the issue as the bidders desire. Longer than six months, it is thought, would not prove attractive to ' bond-buyers. The advisory committee will meet to day to draw up the form of the ad vertisement for bids and state the terms of the proposed sale for" the informa tion of bidders. The committee will be ready to report at tomorrow's meeting. Should responses to the advertise ments to be printed for the entire re maining block of Multnomah County' bond issue for the interstate bridge be iot attractive, they will not be sold and some other action yet to be deter mined will be taken. Market Improvement Expected. It ' was the opinion that the bond market is due for marked improvement within six months, and some suggested that the bridge work be prosecuted with the funds on hand, leaving the later payments for material and work to be met with the proceeds of later . bond sales. All were in earnest, however, about commencing work at once. County Commissioner Rawson, of Clarke Coun ty, said the Clarke County committee will co-operate to the fullest extent. He , eaid: "Wo have been waiting for a. bridge for a long, long time. Twenty years ago we had a bridge project started and ' eucceeded in placing one pier in the river, where it has remained ever since. 'After that, the State of Washington 'decided to bridge the' Columbia at Van couver and passed a. legislative act making the appropriation. But the Gov ernor vetoed the measure and we are Btill without a bridge for vehicle and pedestrian traffic" Clarke to Offer $400,000 Worth. ; The Clarke County committee is in a ponition to dispose of $100,000 in bonds, of the total $500,000 block au . thorized, at once, that amount to be purchased with the state school funds. The remaining $400,000 in bonds will be advertised simultaneously with the Multnomah County securities and bids opened on the same day. Following the i opening of bids, the committee will - come to Portland to confer with the Multnomah County authorities before Voting to accept the tenders. That this is a favorable time for let ting contracts for the bridge was the opinion of those attending the meeting. V. J. Lewellen, representing the Ameri can Bridge Company, said he believed the bridge could be bought now for $100,000 less than in normal times. Al though money is high, the opinion was expressed that the low price of mate rials would counterbalancee this condi tion. Companies Aak Details. Telegrams were received from the Pennsylvania Steel Company and the Phoenix .Bridge Company In reply to inquiries sent last Saturday, asking if tliey would bid on the structure before .all the funds were In hand, and both replied that they were interested in the contract but would require more Infor mation in detail as to the progress of financing the structure before making a definite bid. At yesterday's meeting a letter was ordered sent to A. L. Mills, president of the Portland Clearing-House Associa tion, asking the attitude of local banks as to paying interest on bridge funds of the county that will be on hand be tween the sale of bonds and payment of bridge contracts.

The vessel fell in with a naval vessel off the Oregon Coast and from her obtained her position. It was rough at the time and the nation ality of the marine fighter could not be made out, but it was believed to have been an American ship. Balboa advices to the Merchants' Exchange yesterday reported that the steamer Geo. ; W. Fenwick, lumber laden from Portland, arrived there during the day. She is under charter to W. R. Grace & Company and was started from Portland October 30. As the steam schooner Tosemite was leaking slightly she was lifted on tho Oregon drydock yesterday and it was found that a small amount of caulking was required around the stern post.

Persistent rumors are afloat that the Eccles interests of Utah are closing negotiations for an interest in the Hotel . Oregon. These rumors, however, are denied by F. S. Bramwell, the new assistant "manager of the hotel. 'If any deal is pending for the purchase of any interest in the Ore gon, I know nothing of it." said Mr. Bramwell last night. "The owner ship, insofar as I know, remains with Wright and Dickinson and will re main with them. The report that Mr. Wright may retire from the active management Is absolutely without foundation. Mr. Wright is in Seattle, and Mr. Dickinson is in Bellingham looking after his oil interests. "During the past 30 days the busi ness of the Hotel Oregon has Increased 35 per cent and the company is in splendid financial condition. I was a close friend and the personal repre sentative of David Eccles prior to his death nearly two years ago, but since that time have not figured ' extensively with the Kccles interests."

In response to a brief para graph appearing in The Orego nlan's "Twenty-Five Years Ago" column a week ago today, James W. Casey, the veteran traveling passenger agent of the Milwau kee railroad, has received hun dreds of letters and telegrams from friends in all parts of the country congratulating him on his successful completion of a quarter century of service in the ranks of the company. "Jim" Casey is the oldest traveling pas senger agent on the Pacific Coast and probably the most popular and has traveled for the same railroad for a longer period than any other man on the Coast. "Kit" Carson is the only traveling railroad man in Portland who has seen more years of service, but he has not always been with the same road. A. D. Charlton and George Willett, both of the Northern Pacific, are the only men in Portland who have been longer on "railroad row" than Casey. t a SHIPPING PRESTIGE BEGINS TO RETURN Advance Marked at Dock by Cars of Hemp A waiting -Con--. nections With New York. OIL DRAWN FOR CHICAGO Promise for Portland as Gateway in Future With More Carloads for . East May Be Realized Mu nicipal Wharf Grows. Gradually, Portland is regaining lost prestige In the way of trans-continental shipments. in connection with water lines, an important feature of tbe har bor's business that not many years ago earned for the city the distinction of having the largest Japanese matting account on the Pacific Coast, when more than 50,000 rolls of the Oriental floor covering were stored here at a time In bond. Six cars of hemp are piled on munici pal dock No. 1 for Chicago and two cars additional are for New York, the mate rial having been discharged from the Royal Mail liner Den of Airlie, which now is working her- outbound cargo. From the cargo of the Royal Mail liner Merionethshire, a car of cocoanut oil was drawn for Chicago. Portland Route to Be Urged. There are promises that the Portland gateway will be favored In the future with more carloads for the East, so it then will be a problem for commercial interests to shoulder In inducing 'East ern houses to instruct their Far East ern agents to route via Portland, - as well as send their freight through this city that Is destined for Oriental de livery. In two weeks nine ships have handled cargo at Municipal dock No.- 1 and J. W. Ransom, in charge of the property under the Commission of Public Docks, has his hands full keeping consign ments on the move, as the next Grace liner, the Santa Cruz, is eaid to have 2000 tons for Portland and other car riers are coming along shortly which will require space. One end of the first unit of the dock Is being utilized for the storage of Alaska salmon brought down by the Portland Steamship Com pany's vessels, and as the frame of the warehouse in the rear of the dock Is up and the work of covering the roof and sides begun, space there will be available by January 1 for freight that is to be stored. Second Unit of Dock Progresses. The second unit of the dock Is well along, the roof being on and the sides are being enclosed. Piling and ties for a track that extends along the north line to the harbor frant are in place and the steel will be laid in time for service when -the pier and slip Is fin ished there, the basin for the slip be ing now under way. Material, taken from the river, is being hoisted into a hopper and washed to the rear of the dock, .where a fill is being made. Bids will be opened next week for extending the tracks and building a roadway Into the center of the dock from Front street, which also is to serve the warehouse. As soon as the second unit is completed there will be another extreme roadway, thereby affording three entrances to the dock that will facilitate the movement of team trans fers to a large degree. btacks of miscellaneous goods, with 1300 tons of sulphur, the latter being moved by rail to Oregon City for paper manufacturing purposes, damaged kegs of nails and other packages belner coo pered, together with shlDments of hemp, have crowded the dock for the present, but deliveries are being aug mented so that there should be plenty of space for the Santa Cruz cargo. BEAR HAS HOLIDAY FREIGHT Manager Blair Goes South After In specting Two Liners Here. Huge bundles of Oregon grape and fir boughs going into the hold of the "Big Three" liner Bear,-destined for San Francisco and Los Angeles, sacks of oysters, boxes of famed Oregon ap ples and other freight that hag to do witn holiday cheer and dinners, gave Ainsworth dock a yuletide appearance yesterday afternoon, when the Bear de parted at 4 o'clock for the land where snow and fir trees are as scarce as hen teeth. It may have been the character of shipments that reminded certain offi cials of the line and officers of the steamer of the cheerful-giving period, for tney combined to assist a woman to Los Angeles and hardly had it been proposed when a purse of $16 was col lected quietly and the passenger sent on her way. The Bear, having been drydocked this trip, was an hour late departing, but that will make no dif ference in the time of her sailing from the river. The steamer carried 360 passengers and there was just one more in the first-class list than in the steer age, classes being virtually evenly di vided. The Beaver, "flagship' of the squad ton, is due tn today with a fair pas senger list and average cargo. G. L Blair, general' manager of the fleet, who came here on the Rose City No vember 8, to be present during her an nual inspection, as well as to Inspect the hull of the Bear when she was on drydock, left on the Bear yesterday for San Francisco. While on the public drydock Sunday Mr. Blair stepped through a hole in the deck of one pon toon, being engaged at the time in ex amining the lower plates on the ves sel's hull, and sustained painful in juries to his right leg. A surgeon who examined the- limb yesterday said there might be a slight fracture. MANY MAY MAKE CAXAL TRIP Xorth Bank Steamers to Carry Pas sengers Here From Philadelphia.
