HARBOR LINES ISSUE Hearing Tomorrow to Bring Out All Objections. TURN MAY BE CORRECTED Tnorcasel Width Proposed at One Point Is "ot Kxpected. to Cause Iioss to Adjoining Land, Since Most of It Is TTnder Water. , Harborline extensions on thi Wil lamette River, from Bt. Johns on the east bank and Linnton on the west bank, both continuing to the conflu ence of the Columbia River, will be made the subject of a public discussion at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the office of Colonel Potter, Corps of En gineers, U. S. A. j In the main the liens have been agreed on by the leading harbor in terests, the Port of Portland Commis sion and the Commission of Public Docks. They have appointed a com mittee and conferred aa to the exten sions, but there is one point remaining unsettled, at Gillihan's, on the west bank, where an effort will be made to eliminate a turn complained of by pilots. In the first chart of the proposed lines the extension passing Gillihan's was indicated by a line drawn ap proximately 250 feet inshore and a change suggested by the United States engineers was that the line be moved only about 150 feet shoreward. The attitude of the Commission of- Public Docks is that, it being in the nature of a compromise, its members would be satisfied providing the Port of Port land agrees. Kven if the lin favored by the en gineers is adopted it will mean an in creased width in the river of 150 feet at that point, and it is said the land to be affected is largely overflowed and only at extreme low water Is it uncovered, so it ia reasoned the abut ting landholder would not be injured. The meeting tomorrow is to give all interests an opportunity to be heard, preferrably through the medium of written arguments so they may be for warded to Washington, but oral state ments will be listened to as well. In advancing channel improvements between Portiand and the Columbia Hlvcr to the highest standard the Port of Portland is adhering to a policy of deepening and straightening the chan nel, the former being done along the entire stretch and straightening is fol lowed wherever practicable. Next of the projects undertaken in the way oFmarked changes is expected to be the opening of the west channel at Swan Island, which will give a straight channel from the main har bor to the St. John3 bridge. CAXAIi HALTS OLSEN 1,1X12 Service to Portland Waits Ueopening of Isthmian Waterway. Captain II. A. Hoelstad, master of the new motorship Bayard, of the Olsen line, has written from Christiania, Nor way, to Fred C. Hagemann, a well known ship chandler of this city, to the effect that' the proposed operation of a line of vessels from Scandinavian ports to the Pacific Coast, including Portland, had been blocked for the present through the closing of the Pan ama Canal. "I am leaving tly with the Bay ard for Buenos as. and from there return direct to Europe," writes Cap tain Hoelstad, indicating that his principals intend to continue the East Coast trade, but will not make the West Coast of the Americas in advance of the waterway across the Isthmus of Panama being available. Captain Hoelstad and Fred Olsen, the latter being a son of the head of the fleet, passed a short time in Portland last year on a tour of the Pacific side, and as a result of their investigations it was assured that a. line would be started early this year, a step that has not been abandoned, but is post jond pending the reopening of the Canal route. s , LAW FA VOKS - SALMON SHIF Only Lifesavlng Equipment Must Be Supplied Under Seamen's Act.

SHAVER'S REPAIRS COMPLETED Vessel Damaged During Freshet Again, ih Active Fleet. Ready for operation, the steamer Shaver took the water at the plant of the Portland Shipbuilding Company yesterday, after having had a false stem placed, supported on either side by plates. During the recent freshet sho struck the cast pier of the O.-W. R. & N. bridge, while assisting the steamer Tamalpais through the harbor. the stem being carried away about oiw a line with the ends of the forward planking. The vessel remained tight, and it was deemed expedient to aXfix a false stem rather than tear out work on the bow to replace the entire stem. "Jimmie" is a name suggested for th propeller Coquille, which the Sha ver interests have acquired from own ers at Bandon. The vessel ia to be over hauled and partly remodeled above deck, and talk of her name being changed brought forth the proposed cognomen, being intended as a tribute to Captain "Jim" Shaver, head of the fleet News From Northwest Ports. 1IOQUJAM.

BETTER PRICE HERE Wool Growers Profit by Ship , ping to Portland. BIG MARKET ESTABLISHED Experience of Past .Season Shows This City Can Be Made Leading Center for tho Handling of This Product. "With wool contracting for the 1016 clip just starting In the EaEtern counties, the last remnant of the 1913 clip are being sold here. The Portland "Wool Warehouse Com pany has not over 40,000 pounds in its ware house on Municipal Dock No. 1, and that Is all the wool that Is left in Portland. This company has handled 2.000.000 pounds of wool since the end of shearing last year, and has been able to sell it for the growers to decided advantage. The bulk of these wools were sold at from 21 cents to 2214 cents for fine- and 2 to 30 cents for coarse wool, according to condition and shrinkage. : "The prices realised." said "W. L. Crow, manager of the company, yesterday, "are from 3 cents to 5 cents better than were offered in- the country for the same wools. The growers are more than satisfied with their experiment of sending their wools hero to be marketed, and it )s safe to say a much larger quantity will be sent here dur ing the coming season. "We have sold wool to about IT fliferent customers, a dozen of whom never operated in this section before. We have had inquiries from a doxen other big Eastern mlllB, and although we did not close deals with them we are looking forward to their trade in new wools. 'Our Ahlfipt in tn Imnrove the condition of the woolgrowers by organization, to elim inate the weak soots and put them all on an equal basis. By availing himself of cheap money, which he could never 0.0 -oe-fore, the grower Is enabled to hold his wool until he Is ready to sell. All the wool conn signed here is sold only with the approval of the growers. It Is different when th.e wool is consigned to the East, for it then gets beyond the owr.er's control." With the start made last year In'buildlng up a big wool market In Portland, wool men are assured that the movement of the prod uct to this c)ty will grow. The freight rate situation is favorable, as wool can be shipped from points as far east as Gooding. Idaho, to this city and later reshippea to Eastern markets by rail as cheap or cheaper than direct from tho growing point, giving til grower the advantage of better selling conditions here. When Panama Canal traf fic is resumed, shipping rates will be stlli more favorable POTATO SHIPMENTS SIX HUNDRED CARS Oregon Will Not Dispose of I'Mial Quantity Outside This Year. Up to the present time about 600 cars of potatoes have been shipped from Oregon, and the indications are the total shipments for the season will not exceed 1000 cars. Normal shipments from the state are about 150 0 cars a year. "There are between 400 and 500 cars of potatoes left unsold," said McKlnley Mitcholl yesterday, "and these will all clean up at some price. There Is no likelihood Upmar ket will be any better In the immediate future, but there Is a possibility the late market will Improve if California cleans up. "At the present time stocks In that state are heavy and the market there is weak. Idaho Is shipping at a lively rate into South ern California and tho Southwest, having the advantage over us of a cheaper rate, and Colorado is also putting supplies into Texas and Arizona, which for the tinjs being shuts California out of the shipping field." Potatoes are going south from here at only a moderato rate. Farmers are offer ing freely, and when they are through with their plowing their offerings will probably be larger. Current buying prices are $1 for ordinary stock and 1.101.15 for fancy. SHIPPING DEMAND FOR EGGS CEASES Market Is Weak and Lower on Street as Stocks Do Not Clean Up.
