THE 3IORN7XG OR TSRONTATT, SATFRDAT, OCTOBER 30, 1915. 13 QUICK RELIEF IN GARS DEMANDED Western Oregon Mills Hit Hard and Complete Tie- Up Is Feared. COMMISSION GETS NEWS Instead of Improving, Car Shortage Daily Is Becoming More Serious. Already Number of Mills Compelled to Close. 6ALEM, Or., Oct. '29. (Special.) A complete tieup of, the mills of Western Oregon will result unless quick relief is brought to the lumber industry in the form of more cars. This was the Information received today by the Oregon Public Service Commission. Reports received from all portions of Western Oregon show that Instead of a betterment of conditions the car shortage Is daily becoming more distressing. Already a number of lumber mills have been forced to close and discharge their men. xne Commission announced, and other in dustries are declared to be feeling the 111 effects of no cars. Among the mills closinsr today because of no cars was the Ewauna Box Company, of Klamath Falls. Southern Pacific officials, with whom the Commission has been conferring for several weeks, asserts that the shortage is general all over the Pacific Coast, and the problem of giving Ore gon industries their needed quota of cars is causing them great anxiety. In an urgent telegram to President Sproule tonight, the Commission again informed htm of the need of more cars. The shortage today was reported as 300. "Business Will Be Lost." ."Industries advise lis," reads the tel egram to Mr. Sproule, "that they will be compelled to stop operations. Their lumber shipments are of such a nature that if they do not move at once the business will be lost." Portland Southern Pacific freight of ficials today advised the Commission that they had 304 boxcars on the line. Of this number, however, 275 are for eign cars and not good for California loading. They can be used for Eastern loading only. They admitted that yes terday -they were 255 cars short of their orders, 100 of these being on lumber. Klatcars are coming Into the state fair ly well, it was declared. In response to repeated urglngs by the Commission President Sproule tele graphed from San Francisco that all the cars possible would be diverted northward. This was two weeks ago, and for a time the situation was im proved. Now the Commission says the movement northward has fallen off so greatly that cars sufficient for the daily needs of one large mill are not being supplied. 37 Kmptie" Ias Anbland. Showing the falling off in boxcars available for loading at Oregon points Is the report received by the Commis sion that yesterday only 15 empties passed Ashland northbound, and 22 to day. For a time when the Commission first took up the question, the railroad shunted cars past Ashland at the rate of 50 and 60 daily. The daily needs for Willamette Valley mills at tills time are placed at 100 boxcars alone. "Owing to the reduction made in the Willamette Valley rate to California points," said Commissioner Miller, "it is up to the Southern Pacific to take care of the business here, especially in view of the railroad's case now before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The railroad heads admit this and de clare that reduction was made in good faith and that they are trying to handle the business." 5-YEAR SENTENCE GIVEN O. J. Rose, Picked I'p in Salem, Is Found to Be Missouri Embezzler. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 29. (Special.) O. J.

Commissioner Baker had unanimous support of the Council yesterday, when he moved for the indefinite postpone ment of the proposed ordinance to license and bond plumbing contractors. The measure was before the Council for final passage.

Stanley Dollar Gets Away. Weather Delays Beaver. - Most serious of the results of a heavy fog on the lower river yesterday was a collision in which the steamer Columbia, Captain- Allen, bound here rrom San Francisco to load grain and lumber for the West Coast, was struck by a rock barge in tow of the tug Daniel Kern, of the Columbia Contract Company's fleet, when a short distance above Tongue Point crossing. The full extent of the damage is to be ascer tained today. Tho Columbia is under charter to W. R. Grace & Company, and was bound upstream, having gotten away from Astoria at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. There was an unusually thick fog on the river. According to reports reaching here the Kern was on the way down stream with three heavily laden rock barges, destined for Fort Canby, where the rock is distributed along the north Jetty at the mouth of the river. The impact tore two of the barges from the tug, but they did not get away. Wilson Bros., or San Francisco, owners of the Columbia, telegraphed Fred A. Ballin. marine architect and representing the American l.lnvH', and he met the vessel this morning.' it i imenuefl to aryaock the vessel, and specifications covering all work will probably be ready at noon today. From what could be seen last night the apparent damage- to the Columbia is summed up as follows- There are two distinct places on the port side where she was struck. One. forward of the after oil bunker bulk head, resulted In four plates being bent and cracked, with numerous rivets sheared off. Oil was found leak ing from the bulkhead seam, while there are two or three frames dam aged. Further aft on the bluff of the bow or the port side four frames are stove in and two plates damaged, probably both requiring renewal. The forward damage extends below the present load line. The oil tank is to be steamed out today to facilitate the survey. The Columbia, which was in charge of Pilot Pearson, was anchored imme diately after the accident until some idea of the damage was ascertained. It is said the vessel was barely moving in the fog when struck. The Kern and her tow continued across the bay. The Columbia was first started from San Francisco for the canal in the Grace service, but, on account of the waterway being blocked, she was ordered to discharge cargo and return to the Golden Gate, it having been de cided to send her here for a large ship ment of wheat and lumber for South America. Stanley Dollar Cleared. The same firm yesterday cleared the steamer Stanley Dollar, which reached here Thursday night, for Africa and way ports, and she may get away to day. The vessel has aboard 33,333 bushels of wheat, valued at $31,666; flour in the amount of 2587 barrels. valued at $10,310, and 196,000 feet of lumDer, worth $1773. She finished at the Crown mill last night and shifted to the Portland mill for lumber: JUDITH TO BE EXAMINTED Deck Cargo Will Be Unloaded and Carrier May Conic to Portland. To, determine the extent of her dam age, the Peruvian barkentine. Judith, which was towed into Astoria by the tug Wallula Wednesday after a spec tacular rescue from the breakers near the south jetty Tuesday night, was shifted from the stream to the Astoria municipal dock yesterday. Her deck load of lumber, which she took on at Grays Harbor, is to be discharged, and it is hoped to be able to make repairs without having to work the entire un derdeck cargo ashore as well. In the event the damage is greater than now assumed, it is supposed, the Judith will be towed here for repairs. The fourth pontoon of the Port of Port land drydock has been completed and delivered to the dock, and the fifth was towed down there yesterday to have both wings torn down and replaced with new work. The four sections are more than sufficient to raise the Ju dith, and immediately on the fifth be ing ready the dock can receive all but the largest carriers in the Pacific trade. To accommodate even those, the Port of Portland has decided to receive bids on a sixth pontoon, and both wood and steel material for Its construction will be considered. XEW RIVER SURVEY ARRANGED Government to Ascertain Changes In Channel of the Columbia. There will be a complete survey started of the channel in the Columbia River from the mouth of the Willam ette to Astoria as Boon as a surveying party now waiting to go over the dredged cut at the entrance to the Co lumbia, finishes its work. The river survey is to be shouldered by the same department, the second Portland district; Corps of Engineers, U. S. A- and it is estimated two months will be required to end the task. Since the last river survey was made the Government engineers have kept in touch with changes through regular soundings made by men in charge of the dredges working the sev eral bars, but irr-. order that an exact check may be obtained and a com parison made in details with the pre vious record, the elaborate survey is to be duplicated. On the bar survey the tug Geo. H. Mendell has been unable to get out side, as smooth conditions-are necessary and the southerly weather of the past week has been unfavorable. RATES FAVOR ROSE CITY Use of Slip for Repairs Arranged by Dock Commission. To accommodate the steamer Rose City, which ip to be berthed in the slip at the north end of Dock No. 1 about January 1 for the removal of her present boilers and the installation of four new ones, while other work will be done. the Commission of Public Docks yesterday fixed a special rate of 60 per cent of the regular dock tariff. Special wheat rates applied to dock No. 3 several weeks ago. as an induce ment to interior growers to store grain there, which was 12V4 and 15 cents a ton, while 20 and 25 cents is charged on dock No. 1, were rescinded yester day because of not being taken ad vantage of. The Commission, on request of the city's purchasing department, authorized the laying of a fuel oil pipe along the south side of dock No. 2 for supplying the fireboats. The Commission refused to reimburse toe firm of Marx & Block, in tie aum of J25 for a level pawned to them which was stolen from dock No. 1. The thief was arrested and the level recovered. It was recommended to the Com missioner of Public Utilities that the Spokane. Portland Sc. Seattle Bailroad be permitted to abandon its franchise on East Oak streets. Arrangements were made for the transfer of a gas heating plant from the Stark-street municipal boatlanding to dock No. 2, as a hot water plant is being installed at the latter place, which will use fuel oil. Miller & Halls were awarded con tracts for electric wiring at the Stark street building, also in warehouse B, to the rear of dock No. 1. in the sum of 2410. COAST WEATHER IS VARIED Beaver's Company. Sees Erfect or Southerly Blow at Coos Bay. Conditions along the Coast during the past few days have not been of the most pleasant for tars, and Captain Mason, of the Beaver, which reached here soon after 6 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, said that the vessel passed close to the entrance to Coos Bay Thursday and- that the bar was break ing so at times it resembled a suc cession of waterspouts, as the waves broke and sent showers of spray up ward. From the Golden Gate to Cape Blanco northwest weather was in or der, but from there to the river a south east wind with heavy westerly swell was experienced. The entrance to the Columbia was "lumpy" when the liner passed in yesterday morning. There were 160 passengers on the Beaver and more than 800 tons of cargo. George Conway, Jr.. returned from California, making a round trip by water, and there was a sprinkling of Oregonians homeward bound from the Bear state expositions. While at San Pedro Captain Mason and his staff examined the sailors in different stunts and it was said there will be taw who cannot pass a strict "exam" here under the requirements of the new seamen's law. Kent W. Clark, who was purser on the Beaver for a lengthy period and left to return to the Pacific Mail serv ice on the Oriental run, gave up his berth on the liner Manchuria when she went around via the Straits of Magel lan to enter the Atlantic service, and accepted the purser's billet aboard the liner China, which the Pacific Mall sold to the China Mail Steamship Company. She sails from San Francisco at 1 o'clock today on her first voyage under the new flag with Captain Ryland Dren nan, who was chief officer on the liner Mongolia. SCHOOL ECOXOSIY WAJVTED Taxpayers' League to Favor Cnts Where Work Will Not Be Hurt. ' "There is no tendency on the part of the Taxpayers' League to be cap tious in the consideration of tbe'school budget, but we feel that there should be every curtailment made in the bud get where It will not materially harm the general administration of school affairs," said Leo Friede yesterday, ap pointed on a committee to meet the members of the School Board in the consideration of the proposed school budget for 1916. A meeting was held yesterday at the headquarters of the School Board In the Courthouse, but ao several wanted more time for consideration of the fig ures, the meeting adjourned to next week. At that time the other members of the committee, J. N. Neal, Dr. A. J. Giesy and L, J. Goldsmith, will meet the members of the School Board, the School Clerk and the city superinten dent. Judge M. G. Munly. chairman of the School Board, yesterday declared that no ground would be purchased this year by the district upon which build ings would not be erected at the same time. RATES. OX TTJRBIXERS LESS Tariff in First and Second Cabin and Special Rooms Altered. Effective November 6, some of the passenger rates on the Northern Pa cific liners.

The Oregon City locks are still closed to navigation, except to the lighter of the river steamers, on ac count of the low water in the lower lock chamber. This morning there was only 3.1 feet in the chamber, not enough to carry a heavily loaded steamer. Yesterday the steamer Ruth, of the Willamette Navigation Company, at tempted to return to the lower river with a 101-ton cargo of paper. The boat struck bottom and went through with difficulty, although drawing only three feet. The canaL has been rendered useless since August 27 by the lack of water in the lower chamber. GASOLINE PTJMPS CLEAR HULL Waterlogged- Peruvian Bark Judith Now Leaking 2 Inches Hourly ASTORIA, Or.. Oct- 29. (Special.) By operating the gasoline pumps all nishtthe hull of the waterlogged Pe- ruYiaa park, Judith. 3vaa cleared pi water with the exception of about 11 inches in the stern, which the pipes would not reach. The craft Is now leak ing at the rate of two inches an hour, but by pumping a few hours a day this is easily kept under control.' The Intention was, as recommended by the Board of Survey, to shift the barkentine to the municipal dock and discharge her deckload, but the order to the tug was countermanded by Cap tain Bardi this afternoon. The cause of this action is not known, but it is believed to be a controversy between the vessel and cargo owners. "Exams" on Boston Monday. Captain Meany, assistant inspector of hulls, has been designated by Cap tain Edwards, United States inspector of hulls, to participate in the exami nation of seamen aboard the cruiser Boston, the Oregon Naval Militia's training ship, at 10 o'clock Monday morning.

The Mucheil, which is now at Valparaiso, has a carrying capacity of about 3500 tons. The charter rate is private. Marine Notes. Higher grain freights talked of yester day, even 140 shillings being mentioned, were not confirmed, and one exporter said at least one steamer was available at 130 shillings, with little prospect that she would be feverishly sought after. Judging from the prevailing market. Though the steamer St. Helens was sold a few weeks ago by the Dodge Steamship Company to Comyn, Mackall At Company. $168,000 being paid, it Is reported from San Francisco that she will remain under charter to W. R. Grace & Company. She is a steel ship, built at Wilmington. Del., In 1907, and has made numerous voyages from this port.
