SUE ELMORE ALSO MAY GO Rumor Prevalent That Gasoline Krltooner Anvil Would Become Member of Fleet to Operate In Trade of Far North. Portland is to lose another of its idle fleet and a steamer that has become a familiar Bight to many, the Golden c..t. v..tils.Vi im r.i.nrl rl to hlVfi been sold 'for addition to the fleet of vessels operating from Calilornla pons soum, probably In the Mexican trade. The Golden Gate was taken by C. P. Doe. of tbe North Pacific Steamship Company, about two years ago, after having plied on the Portland-Tllla-mooir rr.ii r . for a time and laid up be cause of a decline In business with the completion of the TUlamooK orancn oi tha Southern Paclfic'a line. The Doe i.i.rMt. har. nnt nnerated the vessel. simply holding her here until a market waa found, though ll waa aaio at "li ferent times that she would ultimately go south. The first Intimation that the Golden Gate might be among; the carriers to be drawn on because of the shortage .a . - th. r.oalnt cif a reauest for a copy of her certificate of owner ship and that waa lorwaraea to can Francisco a few days ago. Representa tives of the company here say no de tails have been received covering the sale or the future of the steamer. She was built at Sausaltto in 1831 and Is of 137 tons net register, with a length of 104 feet, depth of hold of 19. S feet and beam of 8.8 feet. On being brought here she was operated .. .k. iiA,iiaiui a Tlllnmnnk flteamshlD Company, running in competition with the steamer sue i. r-imo-i c. o. mc Klmore fleet, which has since continued the service except during- the Winter period. The Elmore was laid up recently until Spring and is now undergoing an overhauling. It was reported recently that she was being negotiated for, but so far aa known here she has not been disposed of. One more of the Idle coast fleet re maining In the harbor and which has kept comperiy with the Golden Gate at the Oregon Water Power dock is the gasolino schooner Anvil and there have been rumors during tbe pant season of her prospective sale to be used In Alaakan waters. Tbe steamer Alliance . - -1 .n ih.ra frr a time but last Summer she was chartered to operate between Puget Sound and Alaska and early in the month waa chartered for the San ranclsco-ilexican iraae.

United States District Judire Jennings has upheld the acts of the Territorial Leg islature in 1913 and 1915, imposing taxes on all salmon canneries In Alaska, and assessed judgment against the Alaska Salmon Company amounting to $5000. The company will appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Jennings ruled that "compli ance with all the conditions and pay ment of license fees imposed by Con gress does not release the defendant from payment of license taxes imposed by acts of the- Alaska Legislature." If Judge Jennings' decision is upheld the territory will realize a large sum of money in back taxes from salmon canners. The act of the Alaska Legislature upheld by Judge Jennings today was severely criticised by Secretary of Commerce Redfield in his annual re port recently issued.
