A special license upon cigar stands, soft drink parlors and all vehicles may be levied here in 1917 to meet the running expenses of the city government. Mayor Phillips favors such an occupation and vehicle tax, his suggestion being that all cigar. store and soft drink parlors be licensed at $100 a year. Many of the 64 dealers in cigars and tobacco here are not opposed to the tax, since they believe it will force the small stands out of business and keep grocers from handling either to bacco or cigars. Mayor Phillips thinks such a tax will result in driving soft drink parlors of the class which he thinks are running blind pigs out of business. VOTERS DECIDE SEPT. 12 Grays Harbor Citizens Are Txyal to Aberdeen Man. ABERDEEN. Wash., Sept. 4. (Spe cial.) Grays Harbor Republicans will poll approximately 6000 votes on Sep tember 12 and, as far as the guberna torial situation is concerned, these will be widely divided when it comes to second-choice voting. The first-choice gov ernorship votes practically all will go to John G. Lewis, of this city. In the race for second-choice votes McBride probably leads. McNeely will make a good showing. Sutton has some strength. Lee seems to have lost ground here of late and he is regarded as out of the race as far as this county is concerned. In some sections Hart ley's open-shop platform has gained him strength. CALIFORNIA FAIR OPENS Fire In Horticultural Pavilion Does Not Interfere With Event. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 4.

PRESIDENT SIGNS ORDER Action Believed Inducement to Brin? More Foreign-Built Vessels Un der American Registry. One Is Here Xow. An order signed last week by Presi dent Wilson grants extension of one year for the inspection, survey and measurement by United States officers of foreign-built vessels purchased by Americans and brought under the Stars and Stripes since the passage of the ship registry act, since the outbreak of the European war. The law provided that two years be allowed in which the inspections and other details were to be compiled with. The time expired yesterday, so it is believed, as further Inducement to bring foreign-built carriers under American registry, the extension of time was arranged. In addition, an order has been made that watch officers serving on foreign-built vessels now flying the American flag are granted six months' extension in which to declare their in tention of becoming citizens. The American steamer Republic, now here loading lumber for the West Coast, was a foreign-built ship, having been turned out at Sunderland, England, and as the German steamer Walkure was captured as a , prize of war by the French gunboat Zelee and taken to Pa peete, where she sank two years ago this month and for 16 months remained submerged. On being raised she steamed to San Francisco and there underwent extensive repairs, complying with the American regulations in all respects. She Is commanded by Captain J. Mar tin, formerly in the Pacifio Mail freighter Algoa, which has been loaded here, while he was in the steamer John A. Hooper, the California and others. Chief Engineer Edward M. Ewing was chief of the Port of Port land tug Wallula at one time and was chief on the steam schooner Wash ington, lost near the entrance to the Columbia three years ago, and has been in other chips known here. The Republic finished working a par cel of lumDer at the North Pacific mill last night and hauled down to the plant of the St. Johns Lumber Company. The last of her load will be worked at In-man-Poulsen's. Evidently the Republic proved a good Investment under the ship registry act. She was first bought by John A. Hooper and others, of San Francisco, they fur nishing funds' for raising her. and since being placed, in ship shape she was sold to the Guggenheim interests. On discharging on the West Coast she works a nitrate cargo for the Atlantic side and will remain In those waters. CAPTAIX JAIIXSEN" IS MOURNED McCormick Ships Lower Colors When Body Reaches Golden Gate. On reaching St. Helens from San Francisco early yesterday more than one aboard the McCormick steamer Wapama. Captain John Foldat, admit ted missing the kindly face of Captain Edward Jahnsen, commodore of the line, who die-d at Astoria last weeK. The Wapama and Multnomah were at San Francisco Friday when Captain Jahnsen's body arrived aboard the steamer Willamette. The latter had her flag at halfmast and the Wapama and Multnomah lowered their ensigns likewise, the flags remaining at half mast as long as the steamers were In the bay. Captain Jahnsen's funeral took place Saturday afternoon at Berkeley. The Wapama was B2 hours from the Golden Gate to the Columbia River and had a number of passengers. Purser Jack Pennington expects to have an other large party in his charge when the vessel sails on the return tomor row. NORWEGIANS SUY ARTISAN Vessel One of Two American-Hawaiian "Cumber Carriers. Another hope of lumber manufactur ers in the coast to coast trade that the American-Hawaiian tyight soon place its new steamers Artisan and Arborean in service, has been lost through the recent sale of the former to Norwegian interests. The vessels cost $400,000 each, and it is said the company real ized $1,250,000 for the Artisan, addid to which were profits from high rates since her completion by the Maryland Steel Company early this year.' As the company also sold the freight ers Nevadan and Nebraskan in the Spring, it is apparent the directors be lieve in letting go of tonnage when such desirable offers are made, depend ing on enlarging the leet when normal conditions are restored. When extra vessels are needed later they may be built for considerable less than present prices. NORTH BEND IiAtrNCinNG SET New Craft to Be Started When Port Angeles Leaves Ways-, NORTH BEND, Or., Sept. 4. (Spe cial.) The Kruse & Banks shipyard tentatively announces the launching of the steam schooner Port Angeles, built for Charles Nelson Company, for Sep tember 23. When the Port Angeles leaves the ways the keel will be laid for a sister ship, a counterpart of the Port Angeles, with the exception she will be 10 feet shorter. This vessel will be constructed for the J. H. Baxter Company, of San Francisco. The Port Angeles is 235 feet long and will carry 1,500,000 feet of lumber. Be fore the vessel is launched the keel for the new Coos Bay Lumber Com pany boat, 270 feet long, will be laid at the Kruse & Banks ways or on ways constructed at Old North Bend. SHIP NAMED COLUMBIA RIVER Oregon Points Come to Fore In Christening Motor Schooners. Balfour, Guthrie & Co. have decided to name a five-masted auxiliary schooner, building at Peterson's yard. Aberdeen, the Columbia River. The vessel will be launched this month, and, when completed, except for engine installation, is to voyage to Australia with lumber, and on her return the engines will be placed. The City of Portland, pioneer of the motorshtps on the Coast, is now on her way to the Antipodes, and with another known as the Columbia River to start this year, while the McCormicks are to build the City of Astoria and probably the City of St. Helens, this section will be well represented in names among the new ships. The S. I. AUard, now building at St. Helens, was to have been christened the City of St. Helens, but the name was changed as an honor to Mr. Allard, of Eureka, who is among the principal stockholders. , Holt Hill at Nantes. Arriving at Nantes, France, August 28! the British ship Holt Hill ended a-voyaso that began- April S,- when sha got away from the Columbia River with a cargo of wheat. The Norwegian bark Olivebank, which left the river April 16, went to Nantes also, and the French bark Bossuet, sailing April 14, was ordered to Ipswich, leaving the Norwegian bark Musselcrag the only April ship not reported at final des tination. CITY OF PORTLAND REPORTED Auxiliary Craft Has to Take on Sub marine Fuel at Honolulu. Mall advices have arrived from Hono lulu relative to the arrival there of the auxiliary schooner City of Portland, of the McCormick fleet, which is en route from here for Port Pirie with 2,008,433 feet of lumber, and it is said her run from San Francisco of 13 '4 erays would have been cut down had It not been for calms and light winds, whish precluded the use of her canvas. The -engines were depended on solely. She was 16 days making Honolulu from the mouth of the Columbia River via the Golden Gate lightvessel. The visit of the City of Portland to Honolulu brought out a feature in the use of motorshlps that will be cor rected, there having been no fuel there. It was necessary to obtain a supply from the Government station at Pearl Harbor, where submarines are stocked. BANDOH MAY FLOAT YET HOPE NOT ABANDONED FOR STEAM SCHOOLER FAST OX iEACH, Tw Steamers Are Expected Go to Aalatnee of Vessel Which Has Taken on Much Water. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Sept. 4. (Spe cial.)

The Bandon has taken on much water and has a hole in the bow and the bot tom, but it is believed that her keel is not damaged.

Mont., vowed today he was glad to get back to the United States and away from prisons in China and war in general. He ar rived yesterday on the steamer Tjitem bang and told his story thus: "Several months I shipped out of here as fourth engineer on the British steamer Tacoma. At Hongkong I was arrested. I g-uess they thought I was a spy. My cabin was searched, the planks of the floor torn up and a bun dle of newspapers Xor friends in the Orient were burned. For two days and nights they kept me locked in the Hongkong Jail. They released me after they got in touch with the authorities In Liverpool concerning my British en gineer's license. I didn't have a cent and tho port officer would not let me sign up on another vessel, so for three months I ate at prison mess and slept In the detention-house with negroes and Japanese. Finally the British au thorities paid my passage to San Fran cisco." DAILY METEOROLOGICAL. KErOKT. PORTLAND. Sept. 4. Maximum temper ature. 61 degrees; minimum, 57 degrees River reading at 8 A.
