The Chamber of Commerce commit tee will urge upon the visitors the de sirability of taking dinner at one of the chalets along the Highway instead of returning to town for dinner as at present scheduled.

RUSH ORDER IS AVOIDED New Tugboat Will Bo Built During Coniins Year and Long Look Ahead Is Necessary for Machinery. Even though the time of delivery Is nine months hence, the Port of Fort land Commission yesterday awarded the Willamette Iron & Steel Works a contract for building a firebox type of boiler for a new towboat expected to be built durlnir the coming year. It being realized that such a rush of work is on that speedier delivery could not be arranged. As It Is the Willamette is enlarg ing its plant to meet the demands of ruth business, a building being added that will increase the floor space mate rially. New equipment Is to be in stalled, such as a traveling crane, of 20 tons capacity; big furnace, bending rolls, drills and other gear. The com pany Is to turn out the boilers for live steamers to be built at the yard of the Northwest oteel Company, each vessel requiring three boilers. The Commission yesterday discussed the matter of a new towboat gener ally, and It was estimated that by Kali next year the vessel would be redy, and by then It is hoped shipping will have been restored. In Us bid the Willamette Iron & Steel Works agrees to deliver the boiler In May. 1917. and the Arm was the only one to nle a tender. The price is S 1,4.000. The matter of purchasing 1000 feet of shore discharge pipe for the 30 inch dredges, which was taken up at Thursday's session when bids were opened, has apparently resolved itself into competition between two Port land firms that agreed to turn out a section of pipe, each to be submitted for Inspection. Captain J. W. Shaver, vice-president, who occupied the chair In the absence of Commissioner R. L. Inman, favored negotiations being opened with the manufacturers of turbine enarlnea In stalled aboard the dredge Tualatin, for the purchase or certain duplicate parts, and others of the board were agree able to the move. It was reported at the meeting- that the Tualatin had a breakdown when working at Morgan's, and she had been recalled to the dry- dock for repairs. The dredge Willam ette. which was at Reeder's, was shifted to Morgan's, and the Tualatin will be returned here in a few days.

With 301 passengers and 825 tons of freight, the latter embracing canned milk, burlap, box shooks and mill products, the . liner Northern Pacific sailed yesterday for San Francisco. The Great Northern sailed from San Fran cisco with 202 passengers and 1770 tons of freight, consisting of steel plate roofing, sugar, salt and general mer chandise. The regularity of the schedule on which the ships are operating- has given rise to a practice by denizens of Tillamook beach, and. in fact, many resorts along the Coast, to set their timepieces by the passing of the twin turbiners. The passing of the Northern Pa cific ounday, inbound, presented an in teresting sight. The atmosphere at sea was so clear that every detail of the big white ship could he dis cerned from beach resorts in Clatsop County.
