10 THE MORNING OREGOXUK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1915. LUMBER FOR MEXICO TO BEGIN MOVING Steamer Klamath to Take First Load From Portland November 20. WAPAMA ALSO IS ENGAGED Kisc of ."iO Cents in t oast ltate Is Keporled on Xewberg Char ter Canal Opening lxxktl l'or to Jlelease Ships. Recent orders placed for lumber re quired in Mexico assures three cargoes beine; floated from here, the first No Vfraber ;0 on the steamer Klamath, the second on the steamer Wapama early in December. . and the third on the Klamath as soon as she returns from the South. The material is destined for Guaymas. Each ship carries 1.050, 0U0 feet, and. as the Klamath delivered n carffo there earlier in the year, Mex ico will be represented In the export column when, the 1915 figures are cast. The business is believed to be only the opening of a trade that promises to mean much for the Pacific Coast interests, as it has been ifiven out that the Southern Pacific will spend hun dreds of thousands of dollars across the border as soon as a more peace ful aspect prevails and those now op posing the Mexican government are quelled. Not alone is lumber expected to move there, but many other mate rials and foodstuffs, aa the activity looked for is to include mining opera tions and pursuits as well as railroad repairs and extensions. Tonnage Will Be Scarce. The assignment of the Klamath and Wapama to the Mexican trade tem porarily will make considerable differ ence in the movement o lumber coast wise, which is already demanding all suitable tonnage. The steamers named make two trips a month to Southern California from the Columbia River. . so their withdrawal will lessen the movement to California up to January 1 by several million feet. There may be opportunity to obtain other vessels by the time the Wapama is started for Mexico, but at present there is no idle tonnage. The McCcrmiek Lumber Company yesterday took the steamer Newberg to load lumber on Grays Harbor for San Krancisco. and while tne rate was not made public, it is eaid to have been $4 a thousand feet. That is an ad vance of 1 over the prevailing rate earlier in the year, and 50 cents above what has been paid until the last 10 days. Jump o Expected. Millmcn do not look for a sudden or marked jump in coastwise freights above $4 to San Francisco and ?4.50 to Southern California, as the supply of tonnage at present is about reduced to the volume that w-ill be operated regularly, though a continued block ade at the Panama Canal may divert xome of the larger coasters again to the Pacific trade. The outlook for elides in the canal being cleared early in the year, so ships of nominal depth can be locked through, leads mariners to the assump tion that the opening of Spring will be marked by as strong a demand as ever for steam tonnage that can be used in the Pacific-Atlantic trade, leav ing the medium and small size steam fohooners to look after the trade on this side. RKl) RAXGE AGAIN' IS SOUGHT Masters Prefer Using Dredged Cut Into Columbia at Night. There are prospects that a lighted red range used during the dredging sea son for the dredge Chinook at the mouth of the Columbia will be perma nently restored, as several shipmasters have discussed the proposal with Rob ert AVarrack inspector of the Seven teenth Lighthouse District, they being adverse to using the present white range marking the south channel in certain weather at night. The white range lights were expen sive, costing more than $400, and are fixed. The red ranges were much less expensive and. being operated by elec tricity, cost about $100 a month to maintain. It has been suggested that one of the white lights be altered so to flash and that one of the red range lights be shifted so that the range will be through the dredged cut on a long angle, thereby eliminating the neces sity of running close to the east bank or edge of the cut. The same interests also argue for the restoration of a lighted buoy to mark the end of the south jetty, which Is expected to be complied with. INVESTIGATION SET IV SOUTH Santa Clura Case Conies Before Offieials at San Krancisco. Testimony in connection with the loss of the North Pacific line's steamer Santa Clara at the entrance to Coos Bay on November 2 will be given be fore United States steamboat inspec tors at San Krancisco. where the crew went from Marshficld on the steamer A. Kilburn. No report of the wreck was made to Inspectors Edwards and Fuller here, and they ascertained by telegraph yesterday that the investiga tion would be held in the South. Because of the Portland office being swamped w:th examinations in grant ing certificates to sailors under the new law. it would have been impossi ble for the investigation to be held at Marshfield. It was at first supposed that the officers and at least part of the crew would come here. The Break water, which supceeds the Santa Clara, is not expected to remain long at San Francisco having the stern hearings overhauled, and she may take the regu lar sailing out of San Francisco Mon day. Admiralty Releases Pacific Liners. A telegram received yesterday from Mor.treal conveys the information that more normal conditions on the Pacific ocean are demonstrated by the news that the Canadian Pacific liners Em press of Asia. Empress of Russia and Empress of Japan, have been released by the British admiralty. The steamers are now being refitted for passenger and freisht business between Van couver. Manila and China at an early date, SHIPS LISTED TO ARRIVE Port Official Figures 7 in November, 8 in December and 7 in January. In the official log of E. W. Wright, manager of the Port of Portland, the possibilities" in the way of sailing vessels expected to arrive are shown to be seven for November, eight for December and seven in January. Mr. Wright has forecasted the arrival of square-rlsgers for. many years and thinks that in the present instance he will not be far wrong in estimating that 22 carriers of the canvass fleet will be in the river by January 31. There will be a few steamers in addi tion, according to the number listed, which probabilities that more will be chartered. The French bark Rene was moved into the main harbor yesterday, going from the Clark & Wilson mill to the North Bank dock, where she 'will work a grain cargo. The British steamer City of Corinth, which loaded grain at Albina dock, hauled upstream lester flay to a berth at the Southern Pa cific trestle, on the East Side between the Burnside-street and Steel bridges to load lumber. The Andre Theodore is making headway with her grain load at Irving dock and finishes this week. INSPECTORS REJECT EEW MEN Only 21 Sailors Have Failed to Pass New Examination. Sailors examined at Portland under the recently applied seamen's law are maintaining an excellent standard, and while at first the number of rejections were about 20 per cent, they have dropped materially, and of 173 applica tions issued, some of which have not yet been returned, only 21 sailors have been rejected, 141 having been granted certificates. As to lifeboatmen, which takes in all men aboard a vessel if necessary, 243 have been granted cer tificates. Yesterday the Inspectors went over the crew of the Associated Oil tanker J. A. (hanslor. Captain Gus Holmes, which had not been into San Fran cisco since the law went into effect, so no part of her crew had been passed on. The inspectors also completed their work aboard the George W. Elder, so she sailed last night for California with her crew certified. WEST COAST TRADE ACTIVE Grace Cliartered Fleet to Dc Aug mented, to Handle Shipments. Mexican and South American busi ness is said to offer such prospects for the next few months that W. R. Grace & Company will probably in crease its flet of chartered vessels, says G. M. McDowell. Portland agent, who. yesterday dispatched the steamer Columbia with lumber and wheat for Callao. Tlie vessel finished loading at the Clark & Wilson mill at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning and at 6 o'clock she was on the way for As toria, where she takes on a shipment of cedar. In the Sudden & Christenson fleet the Tampico was the last vessel ' dis patched for the West Coast from here and the Edna, formerly the Mazatlan, Ib to proceed from San Francisco to Puget Sound to load there this month. The intention was to follow the Tam pico from Portland with the Eureka, which is now on the way from Chris tobal, though the Oliver J. Olson may be substituted, as she was to have loaded on Puget Sound but was de layed. Marine Notes. Of l.nno.OOO feet of lumber that will com prise the cargo of the McCormick steamer Wapama when she sails for Southern Cali fornia Saturday, 2.10,0011 feet Is to be loaded at the plant of the West Oregon Lumber Company and the remainder at St. Helens. Captain Gus Holmes entered the tank steamer J, A. Chanslor yesterday with 42.00iT barrels of fuel oil from the Monterey station of the Associated Oil Company. Passengers aboard the North Pacific steamer Geo. W. Elder when she sailed last nisht for California ports were about evenly divided between the cabin and steerage. She had 1.100 tons of cargo, of which 500 tons was wheat. Major Arthur Williams. Corps of En gineers, XJ S. A., In charge of the First Portland District, who is at the Post hos pital, Vancouver Barracks, Is reported im proving, and is expected to resume his duties shortly. With a large cargo the steamer Willam ette is scheduled to get away from San Iranclsco today in the Parr-McCormick line and will be followed in the. same service tomorrow by the sttamec Grays Harbor. There will be a regular session of the Commission of Public Docks this morning Largely routine business is to be disposed of. The Port of Portland Commission meets this afternoon. In tow of the tug Gollah. of the Puget Sound Tugboat Company's fleet, the dredge Seattle, which has been in service at Marsh field, was to have left Coos Hay for Pugt Sound yesterday. Orders will probably be given today for the- Government dredge Chinook to proceed from Astoria to the Government moorings to go out of commission until Spring, she hav ing ended her labors on the bar for the season Tuesday.

McCombs Opposes President and Vrges Need of Building Up Merchant Marine by Aid of Proper Legislation. OREGON-IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 10. "I believe the LaFol lette seaman's law should be repealed." declared -William McCombs, chair man of the Democratic National Com mittee and manager of Woodrow Wil son's campaign in 1912. in an inter view given in New York. "This law never was a Democratic measure," add ed Mr. McCombs, "and the Democratic party made, a mistake in allowing La Kollette to foist his theories upon Jthem." Coming from so high a Democratic source, this outspoken advocacy of the repeal of the LaFollette law carries significance, and is only construed as indicating that a considerable element in the Democratic party is now ready to admit that a serious blunder was committed by the last Democratic Con gress. McComb's opposition to the sea man's law, however, does not indicate a change of position on the part of the President, for the President likely will be influenced by the Secretary of the Treasury and- the Secretary of Com merce, both of whom are maintaining the seaman's law is good legislation. I-Hvr Held Burdensome. "I have talked with a great many shipping men," continued Mr. McCombs. in the course of his interview, "and I am convinced this law -will do harm. My information does not come from shipowners only, but also from seamen of all' ranks. I believe this law puts an unwarranted burden upon the ship ping interests. "This is the time of all times when American shipping should be encour aged, so that fresh capital would be in duced to enter the shipping business. I do not believe that all Americans are trying to get the better of their fellow citizens by unfair means." It was Mr. McComb's idea that the American mer chant marine should be rehabilitated by proper legislation, "but," he added, "capital will not enter the shipping business with these new burdens." "I believe existing lines can stand the hardships of the LaFollette law, because they have so much business to handle, but that is not the point. The point is that we want to offer encour agement for a permanent growth - of our merchant marine, and the seaman's law hinders exactly that." Administration Is Opposed. The fact that Mr. McCombs, while holding the chairmanship of the Demo cratic National Committee, comes out squarely in denunciation of a bill which had the earnest support of the Secre tary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce, and which was prtproved by President Wilson after considerable study and reflection, indicates, for one thing, that Mr. McCombs believes the retention of that law on the staute books will be inimical to Democratic interests in the campaign next year. Just . how much influence Mr. Mc Combs' attitude will have among Demo crats in Congress will be disclosed when a bill is pressed at the coming session repealing the LaFollette law. or at least repealing those provisions which are injurious to the American merchant marine. Xews From Oregon Ports. ASTORIA, Or.. Nov. 10. (Special.) The dredge Chinook ceased operations on the bar today 'and will leave tomorrow morning for Portland, where she will remain durins the Winter.

Tariffs of transcontinental railroads 'propoains an increase iia carload rates on lumber and forest products from Easton and other points west of Spokane in the State of Washington to destinations in North and South Dakota. Nebraska and other states, were suspended today by the Interstate Commerce Commission until March 10. The increase ranges from 1 to 5 cents per 100 pounds. It is understood, however, that the decision was due to the fact that in creases proposed by the same roads on other.rommodities have not been acted on and the fact that an investigation of livestock rates is to be undertaken. The Western roads in their original case asked for increases which they said would mean added revenues of aboutt 1 10.000,000 a-year, but the Com mission granted such increases only as it calculated would add about fl. 500,000 a year. In the petition for a rehearing the principal reason given was that the Commission had failed to consider the need of additional revenue. J. P.

Deputy Sealer Announce Results sf Investigation of Conditions 'tlced In Piling. SALEM-, .Or., Nov. 10. (Special.) As a result of complaints regarding the measurement of wood which lias been sawed by dealers before delivery, P. G. Buchtel. Deputy Sealer of Weights and Measures, today issued a statement to the public informing them as to what they are entitled to under the law. ''Primarily, wood must be sold by the cord or the fractional part of a cord and not by the load," says Mr. Buchtel. -The basis of measurement is wood in four-foot lengths, one cord constituting 128. cubic feet. From now on much of the wood sold will be in stove lengths of either 12 or 16 inches, and it should be taken into considera tion by purchasers that where a cord of wood is ordered with the request that it be sawed, that' the pile in the short lengths will contain, a less num ber of cubic feet than originally, be cause the shorter wood packs more closely together. The shrinkage varies according to the de"5re of straight ness of the wood in the four-foot lengths." Shrinkages determined by the state office of weights and measures, after many tests, are as follows: One cord of the average four-foot fir wood will measure 116 cubic feet when sawed and repiled, the shrinkage being 12 cubic feet. Oak, ash and similar crooked wood will shrink from 14 to 18 cubic feet. Small scrub oak and ash limbs, which are quite crooked in the four foot length, will shrink from 16 to 20 cubic feet to the cord when sawed, and In some cases the shrinkage is even more. . FUND MAY PAY HEIR TAX INHEHITAIirC LEVY OX WEMME ENDOWMENT IS ISSUE. Transfer of Property to Christian Sci ence Churches Is Expected to Bring; Exemption. SALEM, Or., Nov. 10. (Special.) An inheritance tax amounting to approx imately $17,000 will be demanded by the State Treasury department from the E. Henry Wemme endowment fund. Deputy Treasurer Ryan announced to day, if the Supreme Court determines that the fund is a corporation for gain instead of a charitable corporation. The will of E. Henry Wemme pro vided for the creation of a corporation with capital stock to build and main tain a home for wayward girls. At the expiration of three years, the will providea for the transfer of the property to the Christian Science churches. Attorney-General Brown recently held that corporations having capital stock were corporations for gain, and uder this interpretation the Wemme endowment fund was barred from in corporating as a charitable corpora tion. Mandamus proceedings were in stituted this week in the Supreme Court to compel the Corporation Com missioner to issue a permit to the fund as a charitable corporation. "I believe that if the Supreme Court decides this to be a corporation for gain, it is subject to the inherit ance tax," said Mr. Ryan, "and pavment of the tax will be asked if It so de cides. As the Christian Science churches of Portland are educational corpora tions, tha fund would be exempt from taxation If transferred at the end ot three years."
