CENSUS MAN URGES HASTE fanufactorers Asked to Report in Justice to City. W. J. Harris, director of the census bureau, has urjred that manufacturers of the city hasten to make reports for the census, declaring that Its publica tion is delayed and made more expen sive through their neglect to turn in reports. The law directs that the census re turns shall be forwarded to the bureau bv January 15. IS13. but despite the efforts of the census representative, with the co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce and other commercial bodies, comparatively few reports from manufacturers have been received. Un less thee reports are all turned in the census report will not give Port land her proper rating as a manufac turing center in relation to other cities wiiere more full reports have been Elien, says Mr. Harris.

Following on the heels of recent in formation from Puget Sound that the Border Line Transportation Company has purchased the Northland Steam ship Company and thereby increased its facilities for the Southeastern Alas ka trade, comes news that consider ation is being given a proposal to in clude Portland in its itinerary. A. F. Haines, manager for Dowdell & Co., at Seattle, that company also being agent for the line, was in the city this week and it is said that the plan was discussed with shippers. The steamship corporation has at its command the steamers Al-ki, North- l 1 I..r.th anA It i 11 Tl dfiT- lailU O.IIU ucoifatwi, " " - stood that the vessels will be gone over with a view to improving t,adia" accommodations and making them as nj,DDiKli, fnr that trade. ftlirdLUVt Jvooiuiw all to be ready for early business in March.

HIGH RATE FOR JAP TRAMP Port Stanley Next Carrier Expected to Be Engaged for Grain. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. have chartered the Japanese steamer Kenkon Maru to load wheat and flour here about March 1 at 60 shillings for the United King dom or 67s 6d if dispatched for a Med iterranean port. The vessel was first under engagement to the China Import & Export Lumber Company to load a full cargo of tir here, but was given up. The highest rate paid this season until the Kenkon Maru was fixed was secured by owners of the British steam er Kish, 55 shillings. The Kenkon Maru is en route to San Francisco from Shimonoseki with general cargo. P.eports were again general yester day that a sailing veasel had been chartered at about 50 shillings. In that connection was mentioned the Russian ship Port Stanley.. Hearing the river from Guayaquil. She is known to have been offered recently. BIG FLEET IS YET OX MAP i Hamburg-American Will Favor Port- land When War Clouds Pass. "As soon as the European war is end ed the Hamburg-American will resume service and Portland will be given di rect transportation connections that are wanted." said Fritz Kirchhoff, agent here for the big German fleet, who says that his information belles stories that the Hamburg-American will not re enter the field as before. That company planned a canal serv ice to reach ports on the Pacific Coast, and while the war has held up most of such projects, an early settlement of the differences abroad is expected to bring about immediate announcement of that service as well as a resumption of other routes. Contrary to tlie pre dictions of some, the Hamburg-American has not made sales of its vessels and those not victims of the war are held in readiness for commission. KOJU MARU TO LOAD LUMBER China Import & Export Company Takes Third Steamer for 1915. Approximately 4,000.000 feet of lum ber will be loaded aboard the Japanese tramp Koju Maru the latter part of the month for Shanghai in the interest of the China Import & Export Lumber Company, her engagement having been announced yesterday. The vessel is duo at Portland February 18 from the Far East. The same firm has the Japanese steamer Bankoku Maru. due February 23, to work a full lumber cargo. She comes from Newcastle. N. S. W., by way of Honolulu. The probabilities are that more tonnage will be taken. No assurances have been given that the company will resume its former policy of dispatching a lumber cargo from Portland every month. AUTO ROLLS INTO STREAM Tilling or Ferry Given as Reason for Truck Getting Started. Partly loaded with fuel a large auto truck maintained by the Pacific Coast Company rolled into the river from the ferry W. S. Mason about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, while the vessel was lying in the East Side slip. Har bormaster Speier was passing in the harbor patrol launch and immediately summoned Hugh Brady, municipal grappler. who located the machine and it will be hauled out today. The driver was ofT the vehicle. It is said that as other vehicles crowded to the outer end of the ferry, putting the vessel "down by the head," the truck rolled overboard. The weight broke the apron of the ferry. A derrick will be required to raise the truck, which is not thought to have been damaged oth er than by water. SHIPS ARE MOORED TOO CLOSE Lower Ferry Case Not Backed by Majority of Mariners. Objections registered with Harbor master Speier to grain ships being an chored close to the route of the Lower Albina ferry have aroused pilots and 'ST BECOMES COATED IF CONSTIPATED When Cross, Feverish and Sick Give "California Syrup of Figs." . Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result Is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat sleep or act naturally, breath is bad. system full of cold, has sore throat, Btomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen. Mother! See If tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the sys tem, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love It, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle". Beware of coun terfeits sold here. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Corn eal,)' " F.efuse any other kind with contempt. Adv. others, who assert that a law limiting the distance in which a ship is to be moored from a ferry to 400 feet was intended for the upper ferry, which operates on cables. They say that If vessels are to be held the same distance from the lower ferry route it will mean the loss of 800 feet of mooring ground in the harbor, which will not accom modate more than half a dozen ships in the stream at present. As the- lower ferry runs without ca bles, river men contend that so long as there is plenty of space between ships for her to pass there should be no other restrictions. During fogs more care must be exercised, but it is de clared that when the Port of Portland Commission sanctioned the route being laid out several years ago, those want ing the ferry said they could navigage easily past anchored ships. LICENSES TAKEN FROM 5 PENALIZING OF OFFICERS SHUTS DOWI TWO COOS BAY CRAFT. Inspectors Act on Complaint Against Dangerous and Disorderly Opera tion of Telegraph, Charm, Dora. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) As the result of an Investigation held by Government Inspectors Ed wards and Fuller, at Coquille, whole sale licenses were suspended and two Coquille River express boats are with out officers or engineers. At the in vestigation it was charged the Tele graph and Charm, opposition craft, had violated the rules of navigation, the crews had used vile and Indecent lan guage before women passengers and that the lives of passengers had been endangered by the rivalry for traffic The Telegraph and Charm are out of commission as a result of the orders, their operation ceasing yesterday. The hearing occupied the greater portion of two days and between 30 and 40 wit nesses were examined. Numerous com plaints about the conditions were filed with the Government officers by the traveling public who use the lines. Elmer E. Willard, engineer on the Charm, and William A. Panter, engi neer of the Telegraph, were penalized, their licenses being ordered suspended for 20 months and their operators' li censes revoked. The licenses of Cap tain Orson Willard, of the Charm, and Captain Thomas W. Panter, of the Tel egraph, also were suspended for 20 months and their operators' licenses were revoked. Allen Panter, captain of the steamer Dora, suffered the same penalty. Messrs. Edwards and Fuller said all were culpable and the only reason that the penalties were not made greater was that Allen Panter's papers expire in 20 months, and it is impossible to penalize him longer. Crtder these cir cumstances they treated all alike. Of the three craft, only the Dora is run ning today, with W. R. Panter, who had not been involved, as master. News From Oregon Ports.

Lord Byron BE ONE OF 300 It is estimated that only one person out of 300 in the United States really knows anything about world history. This means that only about 300,000 people in this country are posted in the most vital of all studies. If the 15,000,000 voters of this nation would read Lamed's "History of the World," a new party would be formed of the majority of them, which would dominate public affairs by reason of its superior intelligence and ability. It would constitute not only the brainiest body in the United States but in the whole world! BUT- Maybe You Have Read Larned ! If you have,' the most patriotic deed you will perform this year will be to pass along the good news to your friends, that this paper is now offering the best history of the world ever written, ALMOST AS A GIFT! Read the following -indorsement by promi nent Portland minister: "Larned's History of the World" undertakes a large task, namely, the bringing into clear revision of many things, of many climes, and of many times ; yet is this large task better done than in any modern work seen by me as yet. It is a good book for the home, as it pre sents to the young a birdseye view of much that has made history the world over; and it is also serviceable to those of older growth, as an easy and accurate means of refreshing the memory, and at the same time in creasing the fund of ascertained fact and useful data. And an investnfent in this book is one that is not likely to be regretted; but will make for the intellectual enrichment of the purchaser in- a manner fully com pensating for the financial cost of the book.
