CAPTAIN NOT DRUNK
Stranger's Master Disproves
Charges of Passenger.
COLLECTOR TAKES HAND
fcklppcr nd Mate to Face Trials on
Allegation That Commander Was
2iot Registered and Second
Officer Had .o License.
Accusations made by J. T. Hune. of
Waptnltia. Or- a passenger on iu
steamer Stranger December 18, when
she struck Dalles City Rock and was
beached, that Captain Archie Geer. her
..t.,- wiui Intoxicated, as well as
... In Hi. nilnthouse. were not SUS'
talned at a trial yesterday conducted
by United States Inspectors Edwards
and Fuller.
Th inn-tnrs found, however, tha
Captain Geer had been guilty of care
-!t,x and neirllKence and that Ar
tnur Davis had acted as pilot of the
vI without a license, omer mn
as mate. The licenses of both officers
consequently were tsuspenaea ior
dsvs. In addition. Collector of Cus
toms Burke will proceed against them.
Captain Geer is said not to have been
the registered master or. m "b'
as his son. Captain A. C. Geer. was
alleged to have been signed last in
that capacity. Arthur Davis is to face
charges of navigating a vessel without
a license.
When Mr. Hume filed the charges
ha rave the names of W. A. Moser,
Bayless "Moser. Bert "West and Curtis
Brown as witnesses, but he was the
' only one to testify against the steam-
boatmen. On the omer nana pw"
nr Arthur Davis. Kate Smith, cook
of the vessel, and four others of the
crew gave evidence to the effect there
was no drinking: by any 01 in
Stranger's company and the only liquor
i-nnvn ii be aboard was a pint of
whisky a passenger had. There were
ws worklnc- their way from The
Dalles as deckhands. It was testified,
and each of them took one drink from
h flask.
Captain Geer gave testimony to the
rr.ot that the Ktranrer was engaged
to irromDinv the steamer State of
Washington from rortland to the Cas
cade Locks, and as the latter could
not get through the locks because of
ice conditions, the Stranger proceeded
in . The Dalles with freight and re.
turned with shipments from there, also
bringing passengers for the State of
Wanhlnton. He had assisted in loao.
Ing the vessel and was tired, so when
Mr. Davis, who ccompaniecW him, al
though mate on the Washington, sug
gested that he take the wheel. Cap
tain Geer assented and went to his
stateroom to sleep. He said he did not
question Mr Davis as to whether he
held a license as a pilot.
Mr. Hume said that he saw glasses
of liauor on a tray in a room aft of
the pilothouse, which was said yes
terday to be occupied by Kate Smith,
and that when the steamer struck the
rock and a lifeboat was lowered Kate
Smith had asked one of the men for
a bottle he carried In his pocket, in
reniv to these allocations the cook en
tered Indignant denial and Captain
Edwards feared there would be a clash
between the two.
Licenses have been suspended in this
district for habitual drunkedness off
duty, but no rase is on record in which
a licensed officer was found guilty of
using- intoxicants while on watch. Be
cause of the prominence the Stranger
rase attracted. Inspectors Edwards and
Fuller set forth in a letter to Cap
tain Geer that he was exonerated fully
of the charge of Intoxication.
OLACKMAXXAXSHIRE IX PORT
Onwen Arrives From Japan to Load
for United Kingdom. -
Towed by the Puget Sound tug Goliah
the British ship Clackmannanshire, from
Italia Hall a. entered the river yesterday.
She Is under charter to Kerr. Gifford 4
Co. to load wheat for the Vnlted King
dom, having been fixed at 85 shillings.
The sailing date of the ship was not
reported, but the voyage usually re
quired between Co and 70 days. The
British steamer Onwen, from Mojl by
way of San Francisco Heads, also
reached the river, being piloted in by
the tug Tatoosh. She is under charter
to Strauss V Co. to load for the United
Kingdom, and will be given cargo by
the Northern Grain & Warehouse Com
pany. As the Hero was not ready to leave
for sea yesterday the steamer Ockla
hama remained at Astoria to start up
with the Cambuskenneth. a late arrival
from Cape Town. Tha Hero probably
will be started today. The Flerre An
tonine shifted yesterday from the North
Bank dock to the elevator, and starts
working there in a few days. The Cam
busdoon hauled over from the North
Pacific mill to Irving dock. The Nor
wegian bark Lindrield was shifted into
the harbor from Linnton. berthing at
the plant of the Portland Flouring Mills
Company to load grain. The Kussian
bark Port Caledonia is loaded with 142.
SJ bushels of wheat valued at $199,715.
She will leave down as soon as Captain
Carisson communicates with the own
ers. The British steamer Devon City,
taken by Balfour. Guthrie & Co. to
work a grain cargo here for England,
is looked for soon, as she sailed from
Mojl December 12.
AHW.VXEDV OUT FOK KKPAIKS
Damage Done to Stranger on Co
lumbia Sends Her to Yard.
To have minor work done the gaso
line schooner AhwaneUa. of the Oregon
coast fleet, was hauled out at Supple s
yard yesterday to remain on the ways
for a few days. The steamer Stranger,
damaged last month in the Middle Co
lumbia, when she struck Dalles City
Kock. is on the ways also, having part
of her keel renewed, planking replaced
on the port side of it and an addition
to her house built aft on the main deck.
The new gasoline passenger carrier
Fleetwood, built by Mr. Supple for one
of the lower river routes. Is lying at
the yard, all work on her being com
pleted and she probably will be started
when Spring arrives. Several of the
vessels operated to outside ports dur
ing the Summer, as well as many of
the gasoline fleet used in the river,
are laid up there and the foot of Bel
. niont street appears to be a popular
mooring place.
HREMEX AY ILL HAVE TOWER
Body Sanctions Building of Lookout
on Alaska Dock.
To facilitate the work of the crew of
the fire boat George H. Williams, which
Is to be stationed at old Alaska dock
until new quarters north of Montgom
ery dock are built a tower is to be
erected so a lookout ran be maintained
as is done at the Kast Waahinarton
atreet station of the fireboat David
Campbell. Permission to erect the
tower was granted yesterday by the
Commission of Public Docks. The plan
has been to moor a barge alongside
the dock to be used as quarters for the
Ytreboat's crew, but as it is small, the
sis of the house on tha dock may be
enlarged so as to contain quarters as
well as the tower.
On a bid of 16470 the Portland Bridge
At Building Company was awarded a
contract for the construction of a pile
and timber fender system on the north
line of the slip at Municipal Dock No. 1.
There were seven tenders for the work.
Authorization was granted by the com
mission for G. B. Hegardt, chief en
gineer, to proceed with a fill between
Front street and the end of the slip
so that it will slope from the street
line to the slip line. Plans were or
dered for concrete piling and slab con
struction on which to carry the east
20 feet of Front street to that point, as
permanent pavement is to be ordered.
One of the most important steps taken
at the meeting was the authorization to
complete an open dock from the west
line of the covered section of the dock
to Front street. Recently, a strip or
the open dock 20 feet wide was built
and 40 feet will be added for a distance
of S0 feet. There will be two railroad
tracks on that dock, while one track
extends from the open dock to the har
bor line, past the end of the covered
dock. Bids for the open dock will be
asked for about February 1.

of Coast Lumber Trade.
Orders have arrived for the steamer
Thomas L. Wand, which has been laid

loading lumber about January 15 for
San Francisco. It is reported from San
Francisco that 78 steam schooners are
laid up in Oakland Creek, several nav
lnsr been sent there since December 1.
Steamshipmen look for a resumption of
tha coastwise lumber movement soon,
probably by March 1, and think that
all of the steam tonnage here and much
of that within San Francisco Bay will
be placed in service.
L. E. Williams, Portland agent for
the Dodge fleet, who returned this
week from San Francisco, said yester
iov that he looks for an increase in
lumbar rates in about 10 days. The
charge now is 3 a thousand feet to
Bam Francisco and $3.60 south of there,
which Mr. Williams thinks will go
about B0 cents higher.

NEW SERVICE PROPOSED
ALASKA LI.VB TO BUT STEAMER TO
PLY BETWEEJT COASTS.
im Fnn Alsmka to Be Carried la
Summer and Northwest Goods la
Winter to Atlantic.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 7. The Alas
ka Steamship Company, controlled by
tha Mnnran-Gua-arenhelm Alaska Syn
dicate, is preparing to enter the trade
between Pacific and Atlantic Coast
ports via the Panama Canal. Official
announcement of tentative plans for
the service was made at the general
offices of the company here today.
The company intends to purchase at
least one 10.000-ton steamer for the
new service. It is the intention to use
the vessel during the Summer to carry
ore from Southwestern Alaska to the
smelter at Tacoma and in the Winter
to carry Northwest products through
the Panama Canal to Charleston, S. C;
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston.
It has not been decided whether Cal
ifornia points will be included in the
ports of call on the Pacmc, dui oiii
clals of the company are of the opin
ion that sufficient cargo can be ob
tained on Pueet Sound to enable them
to give direct service to the Atlantic
without calling at ports between Puget
Sound and the canal.
BCRXSIDE STAIRWAY IS NEED
Xew Steamboat Berths Develop De
mand for Direct Route From Bridge.
Shaver Transportation Company of
ficials contemplate applying for per
mission to construct a stairway lead
ing from the north sidewalk of the
east approach of the Burnstde-street
bridge to the new wharf of the South
ern Pacific several hundred feet of
which is used as berths for their ves
sels. The only means of reaching there
at present is a roundabout route by
land. Besides, it is said, the old stair
way, which leads to the railroad yards,
is a favorite haunt of holdup men and
several passers by have lost money
during the past two Winters.
Nothing has been done toward build
ing a stairway from the west approach
of the O.-W. R. & N. bridge to Front
street though that was talked of for a
time. From the west approach of the
Broadway bridge two stairways are
available and they are constantly used
by persons employed in the vicinity,
as well as by passengers to and from
trains and steamers.
