Charges of BootlesglnK.
SPOKANE, Wash., May 30. (Spe
cial.) Fiv months of prohibition re
veal a decided Improvement in busi
ness and charitable conditions through
out the country, as shown by statistics
compiled by difterent departments at
the courthouse yesterday.
The most noticeable improvement is
in the matter of automobiles.' Any nat
ural increase in the number of automo
biles cannot account for the extremely
large number of new machines this
year, it is said. In the first five months
of the year the Auditor's office has sup.
piiea licenses to practically 1000 ma
chines more than were licensed for the
entire year of 1915.
Marriage licenses also are showing a
healthy increase thi year. For the
first five months of 1915 there were BIS
licenses Issued, wiile in the same
period this year there have been 664.
i ne county Jail also is showlnar the
effects of prohibition. Last night there
were only 32 inmates and only two of
these were women. A year ago there
were 145 persons confined in the Jail.
Sheriff "Waller said that practically all
of the' present prisoners are being held
for bootleersing.
PRUNE MEN MAY ORGANIZE
State Association Is Being Consid

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Corvallis, May 30. (Special.) Leading-
prunegrrowers of Oregon are again con
sidering the organization of a state as
sociation, reports the bureau of organ
ization and markets at the Agricultural
College. The association is to be made
up of community organizations that de
sire to co-operate more closely in pro
duction and marketing.
A state organization was in existence
for several years and accomplished
much creditible and helpful work, ac
cording to G. L. Hurd, of the college de
partment, but was allowed to go by
the board. Under the present condition
of marketing It is felt that it is nec
essary to reorganize the association.

BOAT OWNERS FI R M
Report of Granting of Union's
Demands Is Denied.
STRIKE DUE TOMORROW
Coastwise Shipping Interests, It Is
Said, Will Meet Demands of
Longshoremen, Wlio Plan
to Walk Out Also.
In spite of reports on the waterfront
that demands of the River Steamboat
Men' Union would b met by paper
manufacturing corporations, they were
officially denied last night and so far
other vessel owners say they have not
changed their first proffer of an ad
vance of $5 a month, which is only
half of what the union has asked, in
addition to other concessions.
In the event the $50 wage is not
placed in effect by 6 o'clock tomorrow
morning the strike is to take place. On
steamers that are away from the har
bor, such as those on the run to A-s-toria.
The Dalles and Lewiston and to
Salem, Charles Bennett, agent of the
union, says the members of that organ
ization in the crews will remain, at
their work until the steamers are
brought here and tied up.
As to the threatened strike of long
shoremen, which is set for the same
hour, if their new scale is not accepted,
it is understood vessels operating in
tho coastwise trade will meet the de
mand. There are rumors as well from
Puget Sound and San Francisco, that
some of the firms having large fleets
of chartered steamers engaged in the
offshore trade will likewise pay the
scale, but no confirmation has been
received. In any event employers are
said to be disinclined to accept the
scale for a lengthy period, in view of
the charge that longshoremen did not
keep their compact to give 60 days'
notice in advance of new working
conditions going into effect.
As Portland virtually is out of the
offshore trade at present, the active
centers in the threatened strike are on
Puget Sound and at San Francisco.
One reason for the rumor that the
paper interests had increased the scale
is thought to be the policy of the Wil
lamette Navigation Company, operating
the steamers Ruth and K..K. Lang be
tween the Oregon City pnpes. plant and
Portland, in paying a bonus of $5 a
month to deckhands and firemen who
had served at least three months with
the line. Before the union demands
were made the company was paying
14 5 a month to the deck force, $5
above the pay on steamers here, and
firemen' were paid 50 after three
months. The wages for men of three
months' service, beginning tomorrow,
will be $50 for deckhands and $55 for
firemen.
As to the demands of the union for
the $50 scale for all men, overtime
features, 12 hours' work a day and one
day of rest, it is declared they have
not been allowed. The company offi
cials say their steamers handle be
tween 500 and 600 tons of paper a day
and Inexperienced men usually dam
age rolls of paper in trucking them
to and from the boats, so the bonus
was adopted as a means of keeping
dependable crews.
TOXIGHT IS SCRIBES XIGHT
Aboard Bailey Gatzert Newopajver
Staffs Will Embark for Cruise.
For the first time active newspaper
men of Portland and their families
will embark on a joint excursion to
night aboard the steamer Bailey Gat-
zert, which the Regulator line has
placed at the disposal of the press for
a short run- down stream. She leaves
Alder-street dock at & o'clock. '
Men and women who retain their
membership in the fraternity of
scribes, though not at present seeking
the elusive news items, are included
in the list of guests and, while not
numerous, their participation will
swell the party. D. C. O'Reilly, head
of the line, opines that the Gatzert
should be known as the Quwn of the
Willamette" and Columbia River fleet
and after' tonight he is sanguine the
press authorities will agree with him.
At any rate the big sternwheeler Is
thei rs for the night, and the only re
strictions afe that they do not inter
fere with navigation regulations or
give Federal Inspectors Edwards and
Wynn occasion to order an official in
vestigation. DRYDOCK IiEXGTlI INCREASED
Port Prepares to Go Ahead With
Preliminaries for Extra Pontoon.
Plans and specifications have been
gotten together by E. W. Wright, man
ager of the Port of Portland, for a
new section or pontoon for the St.
Johns drydock, bids for the building of
which were authorized at the last ses
sion of the Commission. With its com
pletion the drydock will be ready for
the accommodation of the largest ves
sels in the Pacific trade.
When it was found necessary to dry
dock the big turbiner Northern Pacific
last season she could not be lifted on
the Port drydock because of an acci
dent to one pontoon, so, with an extra
pontoon available, any developing de
fects can be replaced. At the same
time, in order to lengthen the dock
beyond 468 feet, as at present, only a
few piling must be driven to extend
the basin.
BEATER PASSES MARBLEHEAD
Coaster Also Sights Battleship Ore
gon Entering Golden Gate.
Sailing one hour later from San
Francisco, the "Big Three" liner Bea
ver overhauled the U. S. S. Marble
head about 10 miles north of Point
Reyes Sunday afternoon. The battle
ship Oregon was passed off the
Golden Gate, bound inside after a
short cruise. She is due here ( next
week.
The Beaver, which reached her berth
at Ainsworth dock promptly at 3
o'clock yesterday. brought 115 passen
gers and 1700 tons of freight. In the
latter were the usual consignments of
California oranges and about 600 tons
of cement to be used in the work of
relining the O.-W. R. & N. tunnel on
the peninsula. The last of the cement
for that work is expected to be deliv
ered here in July.
XO SHIPS FOR SEW SEASOX
Lark of Tonnage at This Period Un
precedented in History of Trade.
It has about become a conviction
among- exporters that there will be no
1916-17 fleet of sailing vessels to han
dle Northwest wheat exports, and only
a few steamers may be taken. Judging
from the existing ncarcity. It is with
out parallel in fhe history of the
cereal trade here', that new-croj ton
nage had not been,' fixed by June 1.
Late engagements for grain steamers
on the Atlantic, loading at New York,
lor the other side, have been done at
125 shillings. Th-, railroad rate on
wheat for this territory is 62. S cents
on 100 pounds, while to New Orleans it
is 60 cent's, but from the southern port
ocean freights are higher than from
New York, so the lower railroad tariff
is offset. The highest rate admitted
to have been paid a sailer from here
this year Is 110 shillings. The Nor
wegian steamer Hermes, from Puet
Sound February 3, secured 135 shillings.

ers, called last night, does not seem to
have caused much trouble on the water
front today, aside from some fist fight
ing. The longshoremen refuse to rec
ognize the United Dockworkers as
union men.
A statement Issued by the United
Dockworkers tonight said that when
the new union was organized last Feb
ruary application was made to the In
ternational Longshoremen's Associa
tion for a charter, but that no reply
was received until the Pacific Coast
district convention met here last month,
when the officers of the new union
were informed that the question had
been referred to the Seattle looal of
the longshoremen. Last night, the dock
workers said, they were informed by
the Seattle Longshoremen's Union that
their application for affiliation had
been rejected, so they decided to call
their strike at once without watting
for further negotiations with the long
shoremen. SHIP MEN' ASK FEDEISAIj AID

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3). With the
arrival here today of J. J. Foley, secre
tary of the Pacific Coast district of the
International Longshoremen's Union,
preparations were begun for the-threatened
strike of thousands of riggers and
stevedores June 1, which may tie up
shipping In all Pacific Coast ports. Mr.
Foley came from San Pedro, where the
stevedores have made demands simi
lar to those of the unions at San Fran
cisco and Seattle.
The longshoremen are asking for a
flat wage of 55 renta an hour, with $1
an hour for overtime. The Waterfront
Employers' Union declares that such nn
Increase amounts to a 30 per cent rise
and is exorbitant. It has flatly re
fused to meet the demands. The steve
dores declare that the shipowners are
making a profit of from P0 to 100 per
cent, owing to war conditions.
The owners are reported to have
made an appeal to the I'epartment of
Commerce and Labor at Washington.
A strike of employes on all of the
bay and river steamers which supply
San Francisco markets with produce
from the Sacramento and San Joaquin
River regions is also threatened.
