X A A i A 4 PILOTS CARRIED Port Schooner Joseph Pulitzer Goes to Bar Station. r BOARD DROPS TWO MEM Slump in Shipping En Route Given as Reason for Curtailing Ex penses in Service at Mouth of Columbia River. When the Port of Portland pilot i 1 v. n..t:nAH ..tiirna tn hflP uiiuuner juBcpu run..'- . . . - station off the Columbia Riven entrance next -week, there will be four regular pilots aboard instead of six she carried last year, information to that effect being: given out yesterday by E. W. Wright, manager of the Port of Port land. The reason assigned for the change was that the number of en route ships is decidedly small, and the Port admin istration concluded that it was unnec essary to carry more than four men, who are to be quartered aboard the Pulitzer without expense to themselves. The men selected by Mr. Wright are Pilots Fritz Hirsch. R. Swanson, H. O. Hansen and John Laping. while Cap tain C. S. Gunderson, who has repre sented the pilots at Astoria, is expect ed to remain in the same capacity. Ute arrangement excludes Pilots Parsons and Anderson. In addition to that staff. Pilot II. F. Astrup has acted independ ently. . . Captain Oskar F. Antonsen, who holds a state pilot branch the same as the others and has been second mate of the bar tug Oneonta, has been selected by Mr. Wright as master of the Pulit zer and, as Captain "Hurry Up John son of the Oneonta, holds a pilot s li cense, the two may be used in handling ships in the event of emergencies. "Last season the Port of Portland not only provided the pilot schooner, but allowed the bar pilots 800 a month for operating expenses, and that is re garded as a greater burden than should be shouldered, in view of the slump in shipping." said Mr. Wright. "We My expect there will be a saving shown when the schooner again goes to sea. Later, If the Fall shipping period shows more life, consequently a demand for more pilots, others will be enrolled Since the withdrawal of the Pulitzer last Fall the pilots he?e,e1n,0ca" fd on the tugs Oneonta and Wallula. With the Pulitzer in service there will be pilots outside at all hours, and those bringing ships inside will be returned to the schooner either on outbound vessels or on tugs.

PUGET SOUND GETS AHEAD Gains in Trade and Big Flour Lead Nets Only Nominal Increase. nvr in Seattle the pride of the populace has been stirred through the issuance of a statement to ine eueci flnn. ami U'h.nf PYnOrtS Of the PUget Sound district for seven months of the 1915-16 season, amounting to ii.9ts.iii bushels, exceed those from Portland, which total 9,935.406 bushels. At the close of business on January 31 figures compiled by the Portland Uorohant, TT-vnh a n tro credited thiS port with having floated 7,466,626 bushels of wheat for the seven monms i " year, while from the combined Puget Sound cities 4,615,293 bushels were floated. Portland easily maintains her lead over the northern port in wneau Puget Sound has disposed of to all nnrt. fnyaiom nnH domestic. 1.582.138 barrels of flour in seven months and Portland's shipments have been 548.618 barrels. The Seattle report says the wheat trade from there to SouthAmerica has increased two and a half times and the flour trade increased five fold. Port landers regard it as remarkable that with such increases and Puget Sound's advantage in flour business, which is always admittea, tnere reauy can no such a small lead in wheat and flour, the latter reduced to wheat measure, as the northern harbor takes credit for.
