Grain Trade, but Border Line
Is to Carry Potatoes In
First Cargoes.
Announcement is made by the Border
Line Transportation Company that it
will establish a service between Port
land and San Francisco with the sail
ing of the steamer Despatch December
22. This service may become perma
nent and plans are under way for
chartering a second vessel. This an
nouncement, coupled with news that
the steamer Elihu Thompson is com
ing for two trips for the Globe Grain
& Milling Company, which firm also
lias the steamer Norwood for the next
two or "three voyages and will load
the steamer Northland for at least one
Voyage, impressed the waterfront fra
ternity yesterday that Portland is again
coming to her own in the coastwise
eervice.
C. G. Llmecooly. of Seattle, traveling
freight agent for the Border line, spent
a few days here and details were com-'
Vleted yesterday for sending the
teamer Despatch here. She will berth
Bt the North Bank dock for the pres
ent and it is proposed to maintain a
10-day service to San Francisco. She
lias accommodations for 75 cabin pas
sengers and 50 in the steerage.
, The company operates the steamers
Al-ki and Fulton, as well as the gaeo.
line barge Wakena, but the Al-kl Is
on the Seattle-Juneau run and cannot
he" spared at present. Mr. Llmecooly
expects that another vessel will be
taken for the Portland-San Francisco
service if one is available.
The first cargo will be made -up en
tirely of potatoes. 1000 tons, and it is
fsaid the second cargo could be of the
eamo character, one firm having of
fered to fill the ship, so great is the de
mand in California, but it is intended
to build up trade and other commodi
ties will be accepted as well.
Jack Noyes. manager of the Globe
Grain & Milling Company, -was advised
yesterday that the steamer Windber, of
the Pacific-American Fisheries fleet,
which his company had under charter,
was being returned to the headquar
ters at Bellingham direct from San
Francisco. The steamer Elihu Thomp
Fon consequently was taken and is now
loading cement at San Francisco for
Portland, while the steamer Northland.
formerly in this trade for the Parr
McCormicu interests. Is to leave there
today to work one cargo of grain here.
The Norwood, which Is loading now for
the Crown Willamette Paper Company
Is to be used by the Globe interests on
her return.
Meanwhile the regular lines, the
Great Northern Pacific - with th
turbiner Northern Pacific in service,
the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company, having the Beaver and
j.ose City, and the North Pacific Steam
fhip Company, operating the Break
water and F. A. Kilburn, are moving
freight regularly but inroads in the
mass of cargo piled here are com
paratively slight, even though some
commodities are under embargo.
SMOOTH SEAS FAVOR " BEAVER
Liner Comes With Big Cargo of Cali
fornia 'Shipments..
"Smooth as glass and clear all the
way from San Francisco, the only fog
eing at the mouth of the Columbia,
and even that lifted as we headed in-
ide, so it was an ideal voyage," was
the report of Captain Mason, of the
San Francisco & Portland lines flag
ship Beaver, when she berthed at Ains
worth dock soon after 5 o'clock y'ester
ay afternoon, being less than 48 hours
on the way.
And another feature of the voyage
was the fact she brought clo to 2200
tons of cargo, the largest northbound
load transported In months. Sugar
nd salt were among the heavier ship
ments, added to which were oranges
and other edibles'for the holiday trade,
Second Officer Ettershank returned
from the service at San Francisco to
ign on an oil tanker and he was sue
eeded by the former first officer of the
Bear. Mr. Tibbetts.
The Beaver sails Saturday and among
er freight will be Christmas trees for
children of the Bear state.
NORWOOD LOSES PILOT JIXX
Bar Cicerone Joins Ship at San Fran
cisco, So Arrival Is on Time.
Captain Knight, of the Pacific Ameri
can fisheries fleet, is hopeful that a
inx, which he picked up on the way
from Seattle to load the first cargo
here, has been lost, for he gained the
river at midnight Tuesday from San
Francisco without delay. He reached
the harbor early yesterday to load
paper and lumber for the south.
The first voyage was featured by
olding on outside all night because
f a combination of circumstances
rincipally heavy fog and the fact a
ug was not available, so a pilot could
not get out. The next time a big blow
nd rough bar held the tug inside and
Captain Wicklund, of the Point Adams
lifesaving crew, "convoyed" the ship by
unning ahead with the crew's power
boat. A few days ago Captain Lapping
ne of the bar pilots, took the tanker
Oleum to sea and because of a storm
id not get off. but continued to San
Francisco, where he joined the Nor
wood, so was on hand to pilot her into
the river.
MAKAWELI 50 DAYS ON WAY
Barkeiitine Sails From Columbia to
Newcastle in Unusually Fast Time.
Sailing from the Columbia River to
Newcastle, N. S. W., in 50 days, the
barkentine Makaweli has forced herself
into the speed class, the average time
usually figured on for the voyage being
from 60 to 70 days. The Makaweli was
. bailing for her owners. Hind, Rolph &
Co.. and had aboard more than 1,000,000
feet of lumber she loaded on the river.
She loads coal In the Antipodes for
Honolulu and will eail to the Coast in
ballast, probably loading here again.
In these days of activity in the con
Ftruction of auxiliary schooners per
formances such as that of the Maka
weli start oldtime sailormen to ' ex
pounding the virtues of windjammers
as compared with powered vessels. Most
Interesting to the owners is the fact
her speed has shortened time estimated
for the first leg of the journey, which
is a material item in view of big
I reign ts being paid.

If San Francisco & Portland Staem-

Deal Will Bring Together
Two - Sister Ships.
SEATTLE, Wash..' Dec. 13. (Special.)
Negotiations are on for the charter
the Alaska Steamship Company's
liner Northwestern, which the San
Francisco & Portland Steamship Com
pany plans to operate between Port
land, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
John H. Bunch, general freisrht and
passenger agent of the Alaska Steam-
hip company, says details of th ne
gotiations -are being handled el San
Francisco.
Acquisition of the Northwestern bv
the San, Francisco & Portland line will
bring together two sister shins. Roth
he and the Rose City, now in the fleet.
were turned out at Delaware River
yards, at Chester. Pa., in 1889. The
Northwestern was launched as the
Orizaba and is of J496 tons gross, 2334
tons net register. 336.2 feet lone, with
beam of 43.2 feet and a deDth of
hold of 22 feet. She carries a crew
of 80 and has 2600 horsepower. The
Rose City is of 3468 tons gross, 2154
tons net register, has the same length
and bem, but is 22.3 feet depth of
hold. She carries 68 crew and when
last reported in Government publica-
ons had 2250 horsepower. The Hose
City was launched as the Yumuri, and
on purchase by the Government was
named the Badger and later Joined the
transport service as the Lawton.
Another of the same stamp is the
Yucatan, operated between Portland
and San Francisco for a time by the
North Pacific Steamship Company, and
recently sold to Captain Robert Dollar
for $173,000. He is reported to have
sold her to the Standard Oil Company
at an advance of $235,000. She was
urned out in 1890 and was of 3526
tons gross and 2317 tons net register
and has the came dimensions as the
Rose City in every detail. As some of
her passenger space was eliminated.
he carries a crew of 47. She is of
2600 horsepower.
The San Francisco &; Portland line
now operating the Rose City and
Beaver, the Bear having been piled
on the beach near Cape Mendocino
June 14, when bound from Portland
for San Francisco, so facilities are less
than wer4 available during normal
times, while besides there is an un
precedented demand here for space to
move products of almost every nature
to California.
The Northwestern has been used in
the Puget Sound-Alaska trade by her
owners ana It is supposed mat ner
charter will be for the Winter period
only, so she can be returned to the
northern route when the 1917 season
opens.
