The machinery is coming from Stockholm. The City of Portland will be the first of her type lumea out on tne facmc coast, and marine men are of the opinion that there will be others. The McCormick Company first announced that two schooners of the kind would be built, and It Is supposed that the successful start promised for the City of Portland will lead to the second being begun early neat year. In the engagement of the vessel for Australian business a surprise will be given those who have contended that nor nein would, Be strictly between American ports. It has been held that her value would lie principally in the eanal trade and at times in carrying lumber to California. She will be finished in March, ac cording to present calculations, and, unlike steamers that have been turned out at me tst.

NO SALVAGE POUND IV WRECK Vlrm Burns Hull of Santa Clara and Workmen Fear Falling Timbers. MARSHFIELD, Or., Nov. 14. (Spe cial.) Joseph and S. Simon, who are here to salve the freight and machin ery on the steamship Santa Clara, find nothing to salve. The fire which burned the hull to the water let the remnant of the upper deck Into the bottom of the vessel and wreckers will not work, as they are afraid of being Injured by falling timbers. Postoffice Inspector it, Neil, of Portland, finished his Investigation and sailed for Portland this afternoon on the steamship Kilburn. Mr. Neil examined several voluntary witnesses this forenoon, but his deductions were not disclosed. Sheriff Alfred Johnson, who was railed Into the affair again this morn ing, found nothing to warrant any ar rests for illegal salving and the situa tion drags along as usual, without any action. The Simon brothers say they represent the underwriters and the North Paciflo Steamship Company. Tha only things of any material value they have found are an automo bile and an electrlo scale which were taken from the wreck. They are try ing to require holders to turn them over for what they consider a reason able amount, but the others think too low. NEW CAimiEKS MAY COMB Araluen and Hon gar r Bound for Norttl Pacific From Port Pirie. Speculation is on among tha water front fraternity as to the ultimate des tination of the British steamers Don carra and Araluen, both comparatively new. and which are on the way from Port Plrie for the Canal and will re ceive orders at Balboa to steam to North Pacific ports. It had been in tended for them to proceed to New Tork and Boston, but the cloning of the Canal has altered the plan. Grain exporters say the steamers have not been offered for business from this eoast, and if they come north it is reasoned that in all probability they will load lumber for England, under the direction of the British Ad miralty, Tha Dongarra is of 3661 tons and the Araluen of S6S3 tons. Regarding the new steamer Pacific, building at San Francisco, and which is to be ready for operation this month, it was reported yesterday that one company had been given a firm offer on tho vessel and had until today to accept. Her owners have asked as high as 1(0 shilling's for grain, and export ers here are interested, as there is a possibility of the Pacing coming this way for cargo.

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 14. The well-known Arctic trading power schooner Bender Brothers, which left Seattle for Bethel on the Kuskowim River, Alaska, September 7 and con cerning which there has been much anxiety, was frosen tight in the Kusk owim River, according to a wireless message received Saturday from Cap tain Louis Knaflisch, master of the craft. Captain Knaflisch and his crew mushed overland to Iditarod. .from where the message was sent. The Bender Brothers' plight is the indirect result of the burning at Ju neau recently of the power schooner P. J. Abler. Captain Knagllsch ex pected to meet the Abler at Bethel, and not knowing of her fate, w-alted until it was too late to get his craft out. Captain Knaflisch and hi mor, will make their way over the snow trail 1500 miles to Seward, where they will take a steamer for Seattle. They will returq for their craft when navi gation in tiering Sea reopens next "pring. - i STEAMER F. A. KILBURN IS IN Vessel Comes in Well laden, Fol lowed by Roanoke.

CAPTAIN IiOFSTEDT IS HERE Former Master of Santa Clara Tells of AVreck Looting. Captain Gus Lofatedt, master of the Norm i-acino steamer Santa Clara which was wrecked at the mouth of Loos Jay November 2. arrived in Port land yesterday. The captain reported that there was very little left of the wreck since the looters, whom he re ferred to as pirates, had burned it to the water in an effort to get at the freight and stores which were in the lower hold. He said there is little ow worth salving but the machinery and soma' of the freight, which Is of such a nature as not to be injured by the water. "If the weather conditions remain favorable It is probable that Simon Bros., who are now in charge of th salvaging operations, will he able to save tne machinery," he said. News From Oregon Ports.

The total potato crop for this year ia plaoed at 6,120,000 bushels as against 4.753,000, an increased yield of 1,367,000 bushels over last year.

In the case of apples the price quoted is 88 cents a bushel or 18 cents higher than a year ago.

The Government crop report estimates the 1915 yield of wheat at - 17,364.000 bushels, as against 16.604,000 bushels for 1914, and the price on November 1 at 84 cents as against 95 cents a year ago. This would make the value of the 1915 crop 14,585,760, as against 15.773.800 in 1914, a decrease of 1.188,040. By this last comparison the entire gain to the producer and the state in the value of the four - crops named above would be more than absorbed by the lower return of the wheat crop for this year. ship is Here BKITISIt BARK GALGATE ARRIVES FROM E.VGLAJip. Loading of Andre Theodore Ia Com pleted! Hiawatha Ia Taking on Cereal Bell Ia Being Lined. The British bark Galgate. which is under charter to M. H. Houser to load grain here for the United Kingdom. reached the mouth of the Columbia ttiver yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, according to information re ceived at tho Merchants' Kxchange yesterday. she was expected to get into Astoria last nlgbt. and will nrob- ably arrive in Portland harbor some time today. The Galgate made (rood time from Bristol, Kngland, to this port, being til days on the way. She left Bristol July 6 for Portland. She was spoken 3' miles south of Pernambuco on August 14. Ihe bark is a familiar visitor here. as she has been in this port a number of times. Her last visit here waa in November, 1913. She was under char ter to M. H. Houser at that time also. and took a load of grain to Ipswich consisting of 30,590 bushels of wheat valued at 25,070, and 17,210 bushels of barley valued at 82,430. ihe great advance in the cost of tonnage since that time is Indicated by the fact that the charter price of the vessel this trip is Just double that in 1913. In 1813 she was secured for 40 shillings, and this time, for prac tically the same trip, the figures are 80 shillings. The Galgate is a vessel of 2327 tons. and is capable of handling about 150,- 000 bushels of grain. The French shiD Andre Thaodor. which completed loading a cargo of grain for M. H. Houser Saturday at the Irving dock, is expected to get away some time today. 6he has been anchored in midstream since she was shifted from the dock to make room for the Norwegian ship Hiawatha, which is also under charter to M. H. Houser to take en grain for the United Kingdom. The work of loading the Hiawatha was started Saturday with two gangs of men. It will be con tinued today as rapidly as possible so that the vessel will be given quick dispatch. Mr. Houser also has the Norwegian bark Bell in the river to take on grain. The Bell is now at the Eastern A Western Lumber Company's dock. wnere she is being lined. Another grain vessel now In the harbor is the French bark Hene. which is under charter to Strauss & Co. She is now loading at the North Bank dock. FOREIGN GOLD IS RECEIVED Process ot Supplanting French and Spanish Money in Cnba Under Way. New York City banks recently re ceived shipments of French and Span ish gold coins from their correspond ents In Cuba, which country is re tiring from circulation all foreign money except that of the United States. it is estimated that the total amount of foreign money in circulation in Cuba ia 50.000,000 in Spanish and French gold, and. 30,000,000 in Spanish silver. All the irnlri nrnkakW -Ul t.. -u: j to the United States and the silver to Spain. A few months ago the Cuban bank were endeavoring to Import French and Spanish gold pieces at a cost of 20 cents a franc or peseta, owing to tha pe culiar money conditions existing in Cuba at that time. For many years merchants In Cuba were under the necessity of do ing business with two currencies and to carry separate bank accounts in Span ish gold and in United States currency Practically all the business of the island, except on the extreme eastern end, and all dealings with the govern ment, were on the basis of Spanish gold aivd silver. Last August a presidential decree was issued forbidding the importation of all silver coins excepting United States and Cuban, which, was followed by another decree fixing December 1, 1915, as the date from which all trans actions must be handled in dollars. This adjustment of currency will re quire large shipments of American currency to Cuba to replace the de monetized coin which is now being ex, ported.- BUSINESS FOUND GOOD HENRY CLEWS COMMENTS O V RE, Sri,T OP ENORMOUS CROPS.
