1 TTT12 JIORXITfG OREOOXTAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1914. ICE BAB Tfl TRAFFIC Government Asked for Use of Dredge to Free Channel. MANY BOATS ARE TIED UP Borne Aids to Navigation, Reported Carried Away and Service on i Several Lines, Including Coeur d'AIene Lake, Stops. Fearing that drifting Ice in the Co lumbia may seriously interfere with the navigation of ocean-groins vessels, as it has with the stern-wheel fleet, a request was made yesterday of Colonel WcKinstry that either the dredge Chinook or Clatsop be assigned to the task of bucking: Ice in the vicinity of Warrior Rock, where roost trouble has been encountered. The steamer Beaver, due to sail at 3 o'clock for California, will be dispatched on time and the steamer Breakwater will leave this evening for Coos Bay. It is not doubted that the steamers can make their way to the lower river, yet it is not desired to force them through the ice if it becomes dangerously thick, when it might be possible to have one of the Government steamers clear a channel. Henry L. Beck, inspector of the 17th lighthouse district, received 'a report yesterday that the dolphin and beacon marking Hunter's Bar had been carried out by Ice and he understood, that others had shifted, while men in charge of lights in that district report to him that they were unable to keep beacons burning because of their inability to force a small boat or launch through the ice. Warning? Given IVavlgators. Mr. Beck has warned navigators that the ice may carry away all light struc tures and spar buoys, while he has in structed the master of the tender Man sanita to watch conditions closely on the lower river and if the ice runs heavy to remove all gas buoys, replacing them with spar buoys. That will be a temporary step. The same course is followed in the East where running ice is troublesome. Convinced that the tieup of the river fleet would extend for some time, of ficials of transportation companies yes terday began laying off crews of steam ers held here, only one or two officers and watchmen being retained on each. On the lower river the steamer Lurline is running to Astoria and the Joseph Kellogg to Kelso, though the former went down via the Willamette Slough route yesterday and it was feared the Kellogg might not reach Kelso easily, owing to reports that the mouth of the stream was being blocked by floating ice. "Captain" Budd and Captain Works, of the O.-W. R. & Is., went to the Co lumbia yesterday to view the running ice, and as a result no change in orders was given the steamer Harvest Queen, which has been held here since her re turn from Astoria Saturday night. Be sides the Snake River fleet of the com pany being tied up, the steamer Har rison, operating on Coeur d'AIene Lake, was ordered out of service yesterday, the lake being frozen over. Middle Columbia Blocked. On the Middle Columbia it is said ice blocks the stream from Crate's Point to The Dalles, a distance of four miles. On The Dalles-Celilo Canal project steam shovel crews and gangs em ployed on rip-rapping are working and the cold weather has not interfered, as no- concreting was under way. At Rainier the ice near shore is said to have been so thick yesterday that a channel was cut so logs could be hauled into one of the mills. The gasoline propeller Eftin, which plies between Portland and river cities as far as Astoria, has been tied up. Passengers for the steamer J. B. Stetson and the steamer Northland, which sail tomorrow, go from here by train in the morning, those for the Stetson disembarking at Rainier and for the Northland at Astoria. The lat ter left here yesterday for St. Helens to start loading lumber, her hull having been protected with sheatin. Orders for starting down with the British ship Oenturlon today were can celed. She is loaded with wheat for England and is to go as soon as con ditions permit. Slush Ice made its appearance in the river here yesterday morning, though about daylight it was said to have been frozen virtually across the har bor. As a result of the cold the stream fell 1.2 feet in 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock in tho morning, so the stage above zero was 1.7 feet. London through the canal to this Coast will , consist of the new "Glen" ships Glenglye and Gleneffer and "Shire" line vessels Cardiganshire and Carnarvon shire. The Glengyle also is listed for Fort land in the regular London-Oriental-Pacific Coast service, being due in Feb ruary, and it may be that she is to be sent home through the canal. The Glenroy. coming the latter part of Jan uary, proceeds direct from British Co lumbia to Vladivostok, and loads there for London, eliminating the usual Orien tal ports. It is understood that tho company will continue the trans-Pacific service when the canal is in operation, so that' an around-the-world line will Ije maintained. CAPTAIN OF STRANGER BACKED Charge of Drunkenness Denied and Pasenger Witnesses Relied On. Captain A. J. Geer, master of the steamer Stranger, against whom an accusation of drunkenness was lodged before United States Inspectors Ed Wards and Fuller by J. T. Hume, who was a passenger on the Stranger, Friday, when she struck' on Dalles Rock and was beached while en route to the Cascade Locks from The Dalles, has filed a written report of the acci dent. As soon as Captain Geer can leave the vessel an investigation will be held. Charles Steelsmith, superintendent for The Dalles-Columbia line, which has the Stranger under charter, says, as far as he could learn, there was no intoxicated person at tho wheel of the Stranger during the trip. Not only does Captain Geer deny being under the influence of liquor, he says, but others of the crew and passengers who remained aboard express the same view. DECK LOAD TOLlrS DISCUSSED Decision Not Reached in Matter of Panama Canal Collections. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Whether or not a deckload is subject to tolls on a steamer passing through the Panama HCanal was discussed at length without a decision today by Secretary Garrison, Attorney-General Gregory, Judge-Advo cate-General Crowder, of the Army, ana Major Boggs, the purchasing officer of the Panama Canal. Certain large lumber interests on the Pacific Coast are protesting against paying tolls on deckloads of lumber, contending that the act of Congress fixing the amount and method of col lecting tolls especially provided for the measurement of the net tonnage of the interior of the vessel and conferred no authority for measuring and taxing deck tonnage. Further conferences on the subject will be held at the War Department. O WEEXEE HEAD TAX STIT.T. liVE Captain Collins, However, Seeks Re fund of Eight Dollars. Following the departure from the river Sunday' or the British bark Oweenee, which is headett for the United Kingdom with a grain cargo, it was discovered that head tax was paid on only two sailors, though three deserted the vessel here. It is probable that $4 head tax due will be collected through the-British Bhip Centurion, which be longs to the same owners. Yet Captain Collins, of the Oweenee, figured that he was $8 short when his ehlp was ready to leave port, because on the arrival of his wife and son, the latter a few months old, at San Fran cisco from Australia, M was charged for each of them. They went to sea on the Oweenee. Mrs. Collins being signed as stewardess, and Captain Col lins made an effort to recover the $8, but was informed the application must be made through the authorities at San Francisco. The law provides for a re fund of head tax when persons paying It are simply passing through the country. TRAMP IS TAKEX FOR GRAIN Two Steamers to Be Dispatched Ear ly in January by Strauss & Co. Strauss & Company yesterday char tered the British steamer Muncaster Castle for Portland grain loading. She is reported to have steamed from Moji December 9 and is looked for in the river the last of the week or early next week. She is a carrier of 3056 tons, net register, and it is probable her cargo will be made up of wheat and oats. The new British steamer Onwen, which Strauss & Company re cently engaged, is to be here for early January loading. - The Sierra Miranda and Centurion finished loading wheat yesterday and hauled into the stream. The former has aboard 2351 tons of the cereal and the Centurion 28-13 tons. Tho Hafrsfjord was shifted from the Globe elevator to the North Bank dock and will work the remainder of her load there.

MANY AUD1EXCE EX JOYS "HIKE JUST IZZT IX MEXICO" ALL THROUGH. "Melody of Lore" and "Tango In the Sky" Please Santa Clans to Appear Today for Children. "Mike and Izzy In Mexico," presented by Al Franks and his merry company at the Lyric, is a laugh-producer from the opening chorus to the grand finale. An added attraction was Caribou Dan and his trained bear Pete. The pro gramme says that Pete is the only cinnamon bear before the footlights. The musical comedy is in one act and one scene, and deals with the ex perience of two Americans, Mike (Lew Dunbar) and Izzy A1 Franks). Mike's son Barney (Joe Kemper) is stranded in Mexico and owes a large hotel bill. His father is after him with a shotgun, but on learning that Barney is held in the mountains for a large ransom the father "dashes madly" to the front After many complications in which Mike's wife marries, his partner Izzy on the presumption that Mike was killed on his way to rescue his son, the play ends with everything coming to him who waits. Jeanne Mai and girls "put across" "Melody of Love" in fine style, after which Joe Kemper and girls rendered "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary." Four encores were necessary before the audience would let the show continue. That famous "Looks Like Something the Cat Dragged In" was brought to light again yesterday by Marie Celestlne. Marie was at her best and hes ren- derization" of the song was a scream. Lew Dunbar did a "Tango in the Sky." and a specialty was added to the pleas ing bill with Misses Burney, Anglers, Miller and Rex in the roles of dancers. Lillie Sutherland was heard in "Cele bration Day in Tennessee." . This afternoon the management of the Lyric will hold a Santa Claus matinee for the benefit of the children. "Mike.and Izzy in Mexico" will be pre sented at the Lyric for the remainder of the week. SIORE RIVAL-" TUGS TO tOME Puget Sound Company Will Handle Ships Between Portland and Sea. George E.

After the close of business Saturday night, Dec. 19th, we found that our sales for pianos and player pianos were exactly 36 greater than they were during the corresponding days of December, 1913. An increase in December, 1914, over December, 1913, of 36 . No money in the country? Please study this. On December 19 we had received for cash pay ments on new business and for cash sales 25Y2 vo more money than during the same days of Decem ber last year. As a matter of fact these figures, we compared with December 20th, 1913. Last yeaf. had one day the best of it. What does this indicate? . t The reason for this brilliant record may be found, in part, perhaps, in the fact that we have been selling our pianos and player pianos during this Manufacturers' Emergency and Surplus Sale under a special agreement with the factory repre sentatives without any retail profit; but where is the man or institution that could 'even give pianos away for half their cost if people of Portland and immediate vicinity did not have the wherewithal to buy? Furthermore, our record in the phonograph de partment is equally satisfactory. ' In this depart ment many of the instruments and records must be sold at the regular established price; at the regu lar profit. But even here the record is way ahead of December last year. What does this mean? If this does not mean emphatically that the re turn wave of prosperity and good times is upon us, and if it does not mean that it behooves every man and woman in Oregon to wake up to and get ready for this new era of better times, what can it signify? Never were indications for the return of good times for boom times, if you please more certain than they are right now. Some of us saw the signs in 1898 and 1899; most of us saw them too late. Study the signs now; and last, but not least, do not permit your home to go another day without possessing a good piano or player piano such as we are selling now at these low prices during this Manufacturers' Emergency and Surplus Sale; nor without a good talking ma chine, of which all makes, in all the various models, with all the records made by the great talking machine com panies are displayed impartially, side by side, and for sale at talking machine head quarters, Eilers Music House, Eilers Building.
