14 TIIE MOnMXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5. 1916. PLEA IS MADE FOB IT M James E. Watson, Pythian Candidate for United States Senate, Chamber Speaker. PORTLAND STEP IS LAUDED Indiana Visitor Declares Effort to Get Korelgn Trade ' Ridiculous Without Ships .in Which, to Fill Orders Obtained. James E. "Watson, of Indiana, high Pythian and candidate for United States Senator from his state, addressed a. luncheon meeting of directors of the 3'ortland Chamber of Commerce yester day on the relation of a merchant marine to National independence and prosperity. "I am very much pleased to learn that & movement is on foot here to im prove the shipping interests of this city," he said. "The truth of it ft that the whole country has been derelict in its attention to its shipping interests. The further truth of it is that the American flag will not again be on the sea until the restoration of the mer chant marine is adopted as a govern mental policy. "'Fifty years ago we carried 97 per cent or our shipping in our own bot toms under our own flag. Last year we carried 6 per cent. Our shipping has been driven from the seas until today our flag is but a memory in the ports of the world. "Last year we paid our commercial rivals J320, 000.000 to carry our com merce. What an absolutely fallacious policy! We should build American hips at home to carry American products and give employment to American labor. Two Sides Are Viewed. "These great questions are before you. This question of the restoration of the flag to the seas is a great ques tion, not only from its commercial side but as well from the side of naval pre paredness. "Every nation of the world gets its transports from Its commercial vessels. In time of peace these vessels carry commerce, in time of war they become transports. Very few persons know that we have a ship subsidy in effect, but we have. It is a mail subsidy, passed in the Harrison Administration. If it had not been for this subsidy, we would not have had a single cross ocean vessel available for transport duty in the Spanish-American War. "We talk glibly about capturing the markets of South America," continued Mr. Watson. "How are you going to capture the commerce of South Amer ica? There isn't today one single cross ocean vessel plying from the United States to the Atlantic Coast ports or South America, not one! "If you want to go to South Amer ica, you can go from New York to Liverpool and from Liverpool to South America. But there is no line of ships from New York to South America. Europe Mas Adrantage. "If a South American merchant orders a bill of goods from, say, Chi cago, and one from a port in England or in France he actually gets his goods from abroad before the Chicago man arets his letters. "There must be mail communication or we can have no commerce. In my judgment, we should pass a ship subsidy to encourage American ship builders. Some such means must b adopted, for in this country it not only costs more to build ships but the costs of maintenance under the American flag after they are built are greater. "We ought to have the carrying trade of the world, because it would add srreatlv to the prosperity and independ ence of this great Republic. We shall not be independent commercially until we restore our merchant marine to the seas of the world. "I hope the American people will shake themselves and get out of this dream get their heads on their shoul ders and their feet on the soil and realize that the prosperity of the coun try depends on the restoration of our flag to the Bea. FIS1IBOAT STRIKES HASSALO Owner Knocked Overboard, but Is Rescued With Net and Launch When a fisherman near Rainier tried to ram the speedy O.-W. R. & N. beach steamer Hassalo, having no more pow erful vessel at his command than fishboat driven by a gasoline engine, he found himself knocked overboard his boat somewhat scarred and th Hassalo unharmed. Captain McGraw, of the Hassalo made a report to United States Inspec tors Edwards and Wynn yesterday, in which he set forth that the fisherman was apparently moored to a float that marked the end of his net when sight ed from the steamer, but when she was almost abreast of the fishboat the lat ter shot forward and, without giving a signal, dashed for the steamer. Cap tain McGraw rang for full speed astern and put the wheel over, so the fish boat struck the steamer on the star board side, just aft of the stem, in flicting two minor dents in a plank. Captain McGraw sounded the alarm and a boat was lowered, the fisherman being aboard in less than five min utes. His net and boat were picked up by other fishermen. DAMAGED SHIP TOWED FAST Wallula Arrives With Kenkon Marn Arter Run of 3 1 1-2 Hours. On reaching the Columbia River from Victoria, B. C, at 1 o'clock yesterday . morning with the damaged Japanese steamer Kenkon Maru in tow, the Port of Portland tug Wallula, Captain John Reed, covered the 200 miles interven ing in 31 H hour?, which is classed as a creditable performance for a tug of lier size working along with a crip pled tow. The two left Astoria at 10 o'clock yesterday, and late last night the Ken kon Maru was delivered at the Port of Portland drydock, where she will be lifted Monday. She sank after striking Belle Chain Reef January 12, outbound from Seattle for Vladivostok, being raised July 16. The job is to -ost 175. 00(v and it is provided the ship will be delivered to her owners about Octo ber 15. " DOCK AXD SHIP VXDEH WAV Construction Is Active at Peninsula Plan(s, Where Business Starts. Filing has been driven along the entire length on the harbor line of the new lumber dock being constructed by the Peninsula Lumber Company l'or handling cargo business. A piledriver is now engaged in placing piling on the inshore part, and the work is being prosecuted encouragingly. The dock will be 1000 feet long and 120 feet wide. Along the rear section a track will be laid with switches about every mew ARINE 00' fet. so lumber may be distributed rapidly and in units. At trie new plant of the Peninsula Shipbuilding' Company, adjoining the 1.1(11 Ull LUC BUUUI, a Jill' L b lull U UL 11IC j rrames 01 one auxiliary scnooner. are: in place, and a piledriver is being used' In the foundation work for the second et of ways, so in a short time the keel of another carrier will be in place. The- ships now provided for. are to carry about 1,750,000 feet of lumber. KIVEll DllEJDGES ORDERED OCT Federal Fleet of Diggers Goes Into Service Xext Week on Columbia. At least two of the Government dredges will go into service Monday to resume digging on the Columbia River, the Multnomah and Wahkiakum, pipeline dredges, having been ordered to be ready Monday by Major Jewett, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A. The dredge Clatsop, which is used on the lower portion of the river, principally in the estuary, will be placed in com mission as soon as her crew is ready and minor overhauling is finished. Progress made last year .on certain bars in the river was such that much of the operations now will be centered on removing sediment that has accu mulated during the Summer freshet. 2 STEAMERS HAVE RAGE KITSAP II WINS IMPROMPTU BRUSH WITH RIVAL. H. B. Kennedy, Paget Sound Boat. Is Beaten, but Disabled Pump la Alibi Offered by Captain. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.) Hundreds of spectators on the Se attle waterfront today witnessed an exciting- brush between two of the three fastest steamers on Puget Sound, the Kitsap II and the H. B. Kennedy, be tween whose crews the keenest of friendly rivalry exists. It is difficult, to say which won, althouga there is much neutral testimony in favor of the Kitsap. Details are-' now being: ar ranged for a race from 60 to 100 miles, to be held in October. On her way to Seattle from Crystal Springs, the Kit sap II reached White Point, 10 miles out, a few minutes before the Kennedy was rj,ue to pass the same place en route back to Seattle. Captain A. Hostmark, master of the Kitsap II, "laid" for the Kennedy at White Point. He makes no 3?eret of this. For the sake of good sportsman ship, he waited until the Kennedy was two lengths ahead of the Kitsap II before he ordered full steam ahead. Then the Kitsap II blew a challenge blast and the brush was on. The Kitsap II passed the Kennedy off South Beach and came into Seattle har bor 400 feet ahead. Captain Wiiliam F. Mitchell, of the Kennedy, however, de clares that his vessel's air pump went out of commission and he had to s ow down to half speed for three minutes. The Kitsap II was making 22 miles ,in hour. Captain Mitchell, of the Kennedy, and the officers of the Navy-yard Route, declare the Kennedy showed that she could run away from the Kitsap II. News From Northwest Ports. ASTORIA. Or., Aug. 4.

BUILDERS ARE PREPARED Presence Here of Packing Com pany's Plant Believed to Mean. Their Vessels Will Winter In. Portland Harbor. Placing contracts here "by the Swift interests for two motorships to be used in the Coast trade is looked-upon by persons m close touch with the in fluential coroporation as only a start that will not alone attract contract for more vessels from the same source, but undoubtedly make this harbor, the Wintering ground for vessels controlled by the company, consequently the port where repairs and overhauling will be carried out Details bearing on the initial con tracts were gone into yesterday be tween representatives of the Standi-1 fer-Clarkson Company, operating 1 the Monarch mill on North Portland har- bor, where the shipyard is to be es- tablished for turning out vessels, and officers of the Swift firm, while R. D. His work here will be formulated to Ross. of Seattle, a marine architect, morrow morning when he makes his was here to assist in the matter of plans. Herbert Brown, vice-president of Swift & Co., and purchasing agent! of that firm, intimated last night that the deal was closed and that the con struction, work would start at once on the plant and three vessels. Mr. Brown, who has worked hard to get the plant I for Portland, it is understood will be the executive head. Parties Hope to Close Today. Further sessions are to be conducted today, however, and it is hoped to close without delay, so preparations for In stalling equipment at the yard may be facilitated. As the Astoria shipbuilding yard known as J. A. McEachern At Com pany's plant is now the McEachern Standif er-Clarkson Shipbuilding Com pany, me assumption is max me new Portland yard will be part of the same orgauiciuu, so il win tu vantage or such reiationsnip in tne way ul men, ceriain equipmcui uu m general experience that has been gained on tne lower river. Efforts have been put forth in the past to induce the transportation of much of the Alaska fish pack to Port- iana ior laoeiing, snipping ana oiner preparations for market, the towift holdings on the Peninsula being such that desirable locations are available for additional plants where such busl- ness couia oe carea zor. Port Argument Shown The fact the Port of Portland Com mission now includes North Portland harbor in its district and has dredged that channel this year without cost to the property owners there, other than the share derived through taxes, paves the way for future work In maintain- j ing the marine road so long as it I shown to be needed, and with the big fishing fleet making this its head quarters would, it is believed, be suf ficient argument. Portlanders can put forth the most convincing reasons of any harbor on the' Pacific side as a mooring place during the Winter, storms that en danger vessels being unknown, fresh long life, while all marine growth col- lected in salt water is killed, and there is plenty of room below the city for laying up ships. Another feature oT the packing con cerns entering Into the motorship en terprise is the probability that in time the squareriggers now used for bring ing the pack from the north will be disposed of. and auxiliary vessels built In their place.

"Your climate braces me up won- j derfully," said Dr. Fikes last night. "My method of attack must always be vigorous, and I am drawing the vigor right out of your air. I am glad to see that the people of Portland poseess an inexhaustible supply." Dr. Fikes intimated that no series of stock sermons were to be delivered dur ing his stay here. "I believe in -having something to say," said Dr. Fikes, "and that involves saying a particular thing to particular people. To preach a stock sermon implies that a man has nothing else but his sermon to deliver. I I hope to remain outside of such limi tations. The permanent vigor of body and mind are the material objects that Dr. Fikes esteems the most highly.

BLIND ESKIMO CHILD RECEIVE SIGHT Government Teacher Brings Foster Daughter to States for Specialists' Service. TWO OTHERS BROUGHT IN Melba, Abandoned by Natives on Account of Physical Affliction, Fonnd by Federal Physician, Is Cared For by Mrs. Call. Melba." a seven-year-old full-bloodetl Eskimo girl, will receive her sight after four years of total darkness. If the best peclallsts in New York can give it back to her. This little girl is from Chogiung, on the Nushagak River in Bering Sea, and is now In Portland. Mrs. Corlnne Call, for five years a Government teach er at Chogiung, Is the foster mother for "Melba," who has been an orphan five years. Mrs. Call will take her charge to Seattle, where she will be cared for In the orthopedic hospital un it the arrival from Alaska of Dr. L It. French, the Government physician, who found the little girl, deserted in a lonely hut ZOO miles from Chogiung. Dr. French will then take her to New York and an effort will be made to restore her sight. One eye is affected with an eruption of the cornla, and to this eye will be grafted the cornla of rabbit. The left eye has a cataract. which will be removed. Both operations are conceded to be surgically possible. Child Ia Abandoned. In making his rounds of the territory several years ago Dr. French discovered the little waif, whose name was given by Mrs. Call. In a hut. sitting on a pile of straw. She had been left there in the hope that she would die. being un able to do any work. and. therefore, be- ng of no social use. Dr. French took her to Mrs. Call, and for two years she has been mothered aa if she were Mrs. Call's own child. And in that two years Mrs. Call has transformed Melba, who had lost the use of her legs through lack of food and exercise, with no characteristic but fear, to a most patriotic American citizen, who is able to demonstrate her patriotism in the salute of the flag, using excellent Eng lish with but a slight accent. Child Torn by Dos. Mrs. Call is on her way back to Seattle from Chemawa. where she placed in the Indian school there a second child, whom she has practically reared. Thle second child is 14 years of age. and bears upon her body 41 scars, resulting" from wounds Inflicted by the savage dogs of North Alaska. A third charge of Mrs. Call Is In Seattle. She. too. bears marks on her body, where she was torn by the dogs. In Chogiung there are only 20 white men, most of whom are married to Eskimos. Mrs. Call desired a transfer and when she leaves Seattle August 21 tor the Yukon territory she will journey to Russian Mission. where there is but one other white person, a trader. "Alaska is not what so many people picture It." said Mrs. Call last night at the Portland Hotel. "We auffer little privation. We do have lots of trouble with the dogs. They are half wolf, and although they do not at tack while a person is on his feet they are liable to' do so when he is down. When a child falls down it ts quite often attacked. Mrs. Call leaves this morning for Seattle. FIRST PEARS SHIPPED EAST Two Carloads of Fancy Bartlett's Sent From Kennewlck. K ENNE WICK, Wash.. Aug. 4 (SDe cial.)
