McEachern Company Files
Amended Articles.
DEAL ALTERS ORGANIZATION
Plans to Lay Down Another Auxil
iary Scliooner Are Revealed at "
Change of Title and In
corporators' Names.
Coincident with Oe filing of articles
Incorporating the McEachern Ship
Company yesterday, the step In, reality
being the recording of amended ar
ticles as the recciit purchase of a con
trolling Interest In the McEachern-tStandifer-CIarkson
Ship Company by
A. O. Anderson & Co.. Ltd., changing'
the title of Oe company and names of
the incorporators, it was learned that
the new interests have decided to lay
down another auxiliary schooner, so
there is a flejt of eight provided.
The McEachern Ship Company was
incorporated by Arnold Reimann, chief
representative of the Andersen Inter
ests in America and manager of the
New i'ork company, who is spending
the "U inter here, G. M. McDowell, man
ager of tile Oregon company, which
controls the Andersen affairs on the
Pacific Coaet, and Emery Olmstead,
vice-president of the Northwestern Na
tional Bank. ,
Organization Is Perfected.
Organization of the new company
was perfected with Mr. Reimann as
president; J. A. McEachern, vice-president
and general manager; J. J. Cham
hreau, auditor of A. O. Anderson & Co.
here, as treasurer, while Mr. McDowell,
Mr. Olmstead and D. V. McEachern are
directors.
The plant, located on Young's Bay.
Astoria, was established in the Spring
fend several fivc-masted schooners pro
vided for, the first having been
launched in October, and since then
Andersen & Co purchased a controlling
interest and plan to continue the yard
for the construction of wooden vessels.
The first shlu is named the City of
Astoria, the second will be named Mar
Karet, in honor of Mrs. McDowell, and
the third Mary, after Mr. and Mrs.
McDowell's daughter. When the Mar
garet is launched in a few weeks
schooner No. 7 will be started and No.
8 will be begun on the ways to be va
cated early in 1917 by the Mary.
Six Vessels Under Construction.
Six vessels are under construction at
the same time there, five on the ways
and one in the water, and with Mr. Mc
Eachern in personal charge the work
is expedited in every detail. The An
dersens already have their first wood
en ehip on the high seas, she being
the Else, which sailed from Everett for
Port Pirie October 8. laden with lum
ber. On her return she will come Into the
OoRmbia Rivor to have auxiliary en
gines installed, being operated at pres
ent as a sailer.
NORWOOD TAKES DECK LOAD
Windber Also Coming and Both May
Operate Soutli for Short Time.
On completing her load of paper at
Ainsworth dock today the steamer Nor
wood, under charter to the Crown Wil
lamette Paper Company, will shift to
St. Helens to take on a deckload of
lumber, proceeding then to San Fran
oisco. Captain W. B. Knight, master of
the vessel, was ekipper of the steamer
Roehelle two years ago when she was
under charter for a time in the Alaska
trade, she being owned here.
The steamer Windber, coming here
to load wheat for the Globe Grain &
Milling Company, is owned by the same
interests as the Norwood and it te not
improbable they will ply from Portland
longer than expected, though at pres
ent they are under charter for two voy
ages. The Norwood has passenger ac
commodations, but is operating only
under a freight license.
XAVAIi BASE WORK IS SPEEDED
Chamber to Make Presentation and
Hegardt Will Attend Commission.
To insure the least possible delay in
getting at facts relative to advantages
in the Columbia River for a naval base,
the Chamber of Commerce is engaged
in assembling all data under a system
that will facilitate consideration by
Rear-Admiral Helm and his brother of
ficers on the commission, while a com
plete chart of the Willamette and Co
lumbia rivers, from Portland to the
sea, is being prepared by G. B. Heg
ardt. chief engineer of the Commission
of Public Docks. The officers are due
about December 15.
In addition the Chamber of Com
merce has decided to request the Com
mission of Public Docks to relieve Mr.
Hegardt from duty during the period
the Navy officers are in this district,
even for a week if necessary, so that
he may accompany them on their trips
of inspection.

( The principal is payable at maturity at the option of the holder in roubles
at the offices of the Imperial State Bank of Russia at the current commer
cial rate of exchange of Petrograd at sight on New York.
This bond is eligible as security for Imperial Russian government con
tracts, where deposit is required, at the rate which, according to the Rus
sian law, is fixed and determined by the Minister of Finance of the Imperial
Russian government every six months.
Both the bonds and the coupons of this loan at maturity may be applied to the paj ment
ofall custom-house dues. The customs revenues of Russia in 1913, the last normal year,
were $194,200,000, which compares with $160,6S0,000, the average from 1908 to 1912, inclusive.
The volume of American exports to Russia has been Steadily increasing. The essential
object of this loan is to facilitate the continuation of this export trade. The official reports
of the United States Government show $300,362,626 exports to Russia for the eight months
ended August 31, 1916, as against $169,099,931 for the entire year 1915.
We offer these bonds, subject to prior sale and change in price, at
94 and interest, to yield about 63A.
