LIE TO AUSKA IS
fil
Columbia River to Be Included
in Service by Border Com-
pany of Puget Sound.
PORTLAND TO GET BENEFIT
Results of Lust Year's Campaign
for Northern Trade and Com
mciufinent of Railroad Work
Expected to Bo Factors.
Starting the first vessel, the steamer
Despatch, from Astoria. May 4, the
Border Line Transportation Company,
now running between Puget Sound and
Alaska, will maintain a monthly serv
ice between the Columbia River and
Ihe North during the coming season.
While the Despatch will not make Port,
land it is understood there is reason to
expect that certain shipments in pros
pect will be sufficient to induce the
company to send other vessels to
this city.
The American Can Company, the
Portland plant of which manufactures
vast quantities of cans for Alaska can
neries, i3 to make regular shipments
on the Border line steamers, forward
ing them from the city by rail to
Astoria, where they will be loaded.
Cannery interests at Astoria, which
operate plants in Alaska, are to ship
regularly. There will also be return
cargoes of the salmon, pack for the
Columbia River.
Cans on early orders have been for
warded by way of Puget Sound to be
sent north, on vessels operating from
there and more will follow, as the
facilities to be provided by the Border
line ships are not expected to be suf
ficient to justify sending all consign
ments to Astoria. Portland firms are
reported to be forwarding large
orders by rail to Puget Sound for
rcshipment on Alaska steamers and it
is reasoned- that if arrangements can
be made WjLsr such commodites will
be routed via Astoria.
The operation last season of three
steamers by Portland interests paved
the way for much business being reaped
now and while the type of vessels
was not best suited and high charter
rates and other expenses prevented a
profit being realized, hope has not been
abandoned of establishing a permanent
fleet from here. For that reason the
ships of the Border line will serve a
double purpose, affording an outlet for
Portland business in limited quantity
jind continuing a service to the Colum
bia. In that way it is thought the
value of the Alaska trade, especially
now that the Government has under
taken railroad construction there as an
early step toward opening coal de
posits, can be shown from a strictly
commercial standpoint.
The Border line will continue serv
ice between Puget Sound and Alaska,
but it is understood by shippers here
that after loading on Puget Sound the
vessels will proceed south from Tatoosh
to Astoria and follow the same course
as was taken by the Portland ships
last year.
nSDKTtAU DIGGERS 1AY TIP
Drcilgts to Be Overhauled During
Period of High. Water In Columbia.
About June 1 the Government
dredges Wahkiakum and Multnomah,
which have been in almost constant
service since their completion early last
year, are to be withdrawn for over
hauling and will be out of service dur
ing the high-water period. The Wah
kiakum was out of commission for a
short time last Summer, owing' to lack
of funds, and both lost about ten days
during the ice trouble in Winter. The
Wahkiakum shifts today from Eureka
Bar to Pillar Rock, and the Multnomah
which is working at the lower end of
Doublebower Bar, hauls to the upper
end to make another cut net week.
The dredge Portland, of the Port of
Portland fleet, began digging at the
foot of Swan Island, opposite the plant
of the University Shingle Company,
yesterday afternoon. The channel
there Is to be widened. The Willam
ette, which cleared the basin above the
St. Johns bridge that is 1500 feet long
and 600 feet wide, increased the depth
to 30 feet, and she has been shifted
below the bridge for about three days'
work. Later she moves upstream to
work above the island and material
removed will be used to make a fill
beneath the dock of the Portland
Klouring Mills Company. The Colum
bia resumed operations at Astoria yes
terday after having lost about a week
because of a break in the submerged
pipeline.
SPARK PUTS "PEP" IX CREW
Mysterious Electric Current on
Queen Plays Strange Tricks.
Men employed on the steamer Harvest
Queen in getting her ready for th
Summer season on the river are becom
ing proficient gymnasts, and some are
reputed to have developed such agility
as to put the average vaudeville tum
bler to shame, all because hogchains.
wheel irons and other metal parts of
the crack packet have become charged
with electricity. Several who uncon
sciously took hold of hojjtchains while
surveying repairs unaer way or com
pleted have made world record jumps,
u.nd even Tom Barbara" in charge of
the job, experienced the sensation of
his life yesterday, when he gripped
ironwork while looking over the steam
cr's big wheel.
A search was made about the dock to
ascertain the source of the current, as
there is none being generated aboard,
but it could not be located. The steamer
Is lying at th Pine-street end of the
dock, where heavy cables cross the
stream, but they are part of a telephone
system, so the blame could not be
placed.
BOAT SERVICE IS AVAXTE1
Port Orford Seeks Direct Line for
Large Amount of IVeight.
F. B. Tichnor and G. Dearlove, repre
sentatives of the Port Orford. Or., Com
merclal Club, have interested the New
Chamber of Commerce in better shlp
nlne facilities for their town, the thriv
ing center of commercial activities of
northern Curry county.
The town is greatly handicapped
through a lack of direct boat service.
The representatives of the club declare
that 60 tons of outbound freight and
from 3S to 40 tons of inbound freight
could be handled every two weeks by
boat local shipping- lines have been
asked to consider the feasibility of ex
tending service to the Curry County
port.

STEXCH OF GRAIN" SUBDUED
Action of Sun. on Damaged Cereal
Causes Measures for Relief.
Strenuous and successful efforts of
Old Sol for the past two days to bring
nhabitants of this sphere from their
Winter lethargy to cavort about once
more has had an opposite effect on Last
Siders in line of odors from the site
of Columbia dock No. 2, which burned
last year, for the souring wheat and
other cereals there again has permeated
the atmosphere in odoriferous zeal.
City Attorney La Roche, Health Offi
cer Marcellus and Harbormaster Speler
visited there yesterday and were pleased
when informed that owners of the
property had hit about a solution in
the way of digging deep trenches Into
which the offending grain will be shov
eled and its perfuming activity quelled
through being covered with a thick
blanket of earth. Since' the destruction
of the docks large amounts of damaged
grain have been salved for use as poul
try and hog feed, even much of it being
dredged from the riverbed, where it
had fallen with the collapse of tbe
structures.
WAPAMA IS BEING FINISHED
Newest of McCormlck Flag Soon
AVI II Undertake Maiden Voyage.
In 10 days the new McCormlck
steamer Wapama is to be ready for
service between Portland and Califor
nia ports, says information from San

That is said to be going ahead so fa
vorably that she probably will be dis

of the McCormick fleet, and has a lum
ber capacity of 1,100,000 feet with ac
commodations for 45 cabin passengers

Mr. Swift was in the Oregon buildlna:
not a week ago, apparently in robust
health. His death came as a terrible
shock to his many Oregon friends, who
had met him here at the building and
renewed earlier acquaintance.
Mrs. Walter Burrows, of Portland,
with her-children, has been a frequent
Oregon building visitor the past week.
She Is thoroughly enjoying the big
fair. Mrs. Burrows considers the fair
worth a year's travel to anyone, in in
formation value, while its pure beauty
is a perpetual inspiration.
Miss Wlthycombe la Polo Fan.
Miss Mabel Wlthycombe, daughter of
Governor Wlthycombe. is particularly
interested in polo, games being played
almost every afternoon. A polo box
makes a delightful setting for anaft
ernoon party and always there are the
fascinating little ponies and the ab
solutely reckless riders to produce
thrills. The weather is superb for the
out-of-door pastime.
Miss Ava Milam, professor of domes
tic science, who has entered on her
duties in the home economics depart
ment at the Oregon building, is delight
fully Impressed with the people who
seek out the Oregon dining-room at
noon each day. They are so apprecia
tive of the work being done by these
college seniors, and so interested in
the cooking methods, that often the
arch of events is halted while one
gets a recipe or another is informed
Just how certain results are obtained.
The culture of the common things
might be said to be one of the most
dominant notes of tbe whole exposition.
and certainly perfectly cooked and
served food in every American home
would be a kind of culture that would
have its flowering in better minds as
well as bodies.
Woman Composer Is Oregon Visitor.
Carrie Jacobs Bond, author of "A
Perfect Day," and the best-known
woman composer, lunched in the Ore
eon dining-room today. "Bless the
girls!" she exclaimed, when she had
been told all about it; "they're . doing
the finest work in the world!"
Mrs. Bond was enthusiastic over the
Oregon building, going to every part
of it with the most intense Interest,
and when she reached the big, quiet
toned reception-room she Just settled
down in it for solid comfort without
further words. "I don't know a place
on the grounds, she said, where I ve
felt so at home and comfortable. She
was much interested n hearing of the
Carrie Jacobs Bond Music Club of Port
land.
