SHIP IS SORRY SIGHT Craft la Aground for SO Minutes on Way Into Port, but Tugs Effect Her Release Fire Aboard Yet Burning. MA.RSHFIELD, Or.. Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) The burned steamer Congress was towed Into port today and anchored between the red buoy at Charleston and the old Government works on the north side of the bay. The Salvor had gotten steam Into the wreck and she was pumped nearly tree of water during the night, having only a slight list as she came Into port this afternoon. The Congress has steam in her boilers and the pumps were "worked from the interior. The proces sion into port started at 2:15 P. M-. after the tugs had made a turn at sea, the Gleaner leading, Oneonta second and the Tyee holding the cable In the rear. The wrecker Salvor remained at sea and did not come into port. The move proceeded without a hitch until the turn at the red buoy was made and, headed almost due north, she shoved her prow into the saridsplt be fore the tugs could right her. The tugs changed positions after the grounding, the Gleaner going to the rear and the Tyee taking a short hold from the stem. The Oneonta kept her line In front. The ship stranded three quarters of an hour before high tide, and the tugs had her afloat within 30 minutes. The Congress was taken up the bay about half a mile, anchored, and Is hav ing piling driven about her To prevent her from swinging in the channel. The repairing will be done here. It was said all tugs and aides to the salving will be dismissed tonight, with the exception of the Oneonta, which will stay as a tender and furnish a convoy when the Congress leaves for Putret Sound. The vessel was a scarred and sorry looking sight as she loomed up in the narrow channel at the Coast Guard station. The paint on the starboard side was two-thirds burned away, and on the port side three-quarters of the surface was also burned over. The superstructure presented the appear ance of a great steel skeleton. Smouldering fires both fore and aft were sending out thin blue smoke, in dicating there is yet work to be done In the hold. WAITOTARA TAKES OUT PAPER British Steamer Leaves Here With Cargo for Australia. Members of the crew of the British steamer Waltotara, which took on a part cargo of paper at municipal dock No. 2 yesterday before sailing last night for San Francisco, had an op portunity to do a little target prac tice while off the coast of France about four months ago. The steamer was bowling along at a Kood rate on her way from Newport, England, to Alexandra, and when off Cape Ushant the lookout spied an ob ject sticking out of the water, which was immediately pronounced to be a German submarine. Immediately the 12-pound gun with which the steamer was equipped at that time was unlim bered and several shots were let fly in the general direction of the alleged periscope. The object was later discovered to be merely a floating mine, which evi dently had come loose from its moor ings. The Waltotara, Captain Hurry, got into the harbor Saturday and com pleted taking on 800 tons of paper last night, two crews of longshoremen being worked all day yesterday. The paper is consigned to Australian ports. The steamer will stop at San Francisco en route and take on a part cargo for Sydney and Melbourne. She took on cargo at British Columbia be fore coming to this port. The Waltotara has a couple of mas cots in the shape of two small mon keys which were secured when the ves sel stopped at Java, previous to mak ing the trip across the Pacific. The Waitotara is in the service of the TTnion Steamship Company, which now Is operating vessels between the Pa cific Coast and Australia. Since the outbreak of the war in Europe a heavy trade has been developing with Aus tralia, cargoes of paper in particular being handled from this port.

Experiments have Indicated to Honduras raisins fiaUoo GAR SITUATION IS HOT YET -IMPROVED Immediate Relief of Shortage .-Is Not in Sight and Some Mills Are Sispending. MORE RUNNING PART TIME Herniation. of Transportation Fa cilities by Interstate Commerce Commission Suggested by Editor of Timberman. Testerday being Sunday, no reports were received here by local officials of the Southern Pacific Company as to additional movements northward of empty cars to relieve the car shortage that is bringing disaster to lumber in dustries of Western Oregon." There does not appear, however, to ba any prospect of immediate relief. In the meantime more mills are run ning on part time or shutting down en tirely until they can get cars. "So far as I know," said George M Cornwall. editor of the Timberman. an authority on lumber conditions, yesterj day, "the situation Ian t improving any. Some cars are moving, but the situation is desperate. J"lant Operates Part Time. "Among the many firms that are suf fering great loss from the car shortage is the Emerson Hardwood Company, of Portland. It manufactures oak and other hardwood lumber and requires cars for local shipments. But it is hav ing great difficulty In operating its plant because, owing to the car short age, it cannot get material. "At present the Emerson Hardwood Company is able to keep its plant in operation only two or' three days a week. J. 8. Emerson, president of the company, who came here from British Columbia to establish the plant, is fac ing a depressing situation at a time when he should have encouragement "This is hard not only on the Emer son Hardwood Company and other con cerns that are suffering from the same condition, but on Portland, which is trying to bring such industries to this city. If there is anything on earth that can be done by the railroad to relieve the car shortage, it ought to be done. Government Herniation Suggested. "1 think it could be fairly said that the Interstate Commerce Commission should be clothed with authority to investigate the facilities of the rail roads for moving traffic so it could de termine the amount of equipment the railroads should have to maintain to assure fair and adequate shipping facil ities for shippers along their lines. "The Interstate Commerce Commis sion now fixes rates, and it would seem to be reasonable, in view of the great losses caused by conditions of car short age such as the present one, to go a step further and give it full power to require the maintenance of sufficient equipment." OLIVE BRANCH EXTENDED HANIT SEEKS TO USITB SALOON FACTIONS. ANTI- I Prohibition Special Reaches Dunsmnlr Efforts Redoubled to Place Cal ifornia In Dry Column. DUNSOTIR, Cal., Sept. 17. The Pro hibition party's coast-to-coast special campaign train arrived here today from Ashland, Or. Tomorrow seven meetings will be held, the first one here early in the day and the last at night in Sacvamento. As California is one of the states which offers a hard fight for the drys this year, leaders said, the managers of the Prohibition National campaign are making every effort to unite all factions opposed to the saloon. J. Frank llanly, candidate for Pres ident, and Dr. Ira Landrith, candidate for Vice-President, are extending the olive branch to all factions, particu larly to members of the Anti-Saloon League and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Oliver W. Stewart, campaign manager for the party, to night gave out an open letter he had sent to Purley Baker, National super intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, inviting his support in the campaign. Heretofore, the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibition party have not worked as one, agreeing on the main issues, but differing as to candidates. Stewart in his letter pointed out that the Prohibition party is the only one taking a square stand on the liquor question and urged the respective abil ities of Hanly and Landrith. "Neither you nor your league could do anything to advance the cause so effectively as to give them your sup port," he wrote. "Here Is a common ground where we can all work together. Temperance voters must stay' at home on election day to go to the polls and vote either for candidates that are silent and dumb on this Issue or vote for Hanly and Landrith. Is It not your manifest duty to throw the entire weight of your influence In favor of the latter course?" FRIENDS OF 25 YEARS DIE Pioneer Seattle Residents to Buried Together Today, Be 6EATTLE.
