J. J. HITTINGER IN CHARGE Portland Commercial Interests Will Be in Direct Touch With Pur chasing End of Important Northern Market. Ofllclally the Portland agency of the Alaska Engineering Commission, which directs railroad construction, from An chorage inland, was opened at room 102, Custom-House, yesterday, with Joseph J. Hittinger in charge, so efforts made by commercial interests to be placed in more direct touch with that impor tant market have been fultllled, but, lacking direct steamship connection with Alaska, the territory continues to be handicapped. Mr. Hittinger has had a number of years' service in the Army and retired from the Quartermaster Department a few years ago, so is regarded as well fitted to represent the Government in contracting for stores and supplies un der specifications. As yet he has not received any proposals. It is Impor tant that Congress pass a bill carrying appropriations for the northern rail road project, which has not been at tended to. Portland Bids on Steel. Portland was represented in tenders opened at the Seattle office Wednesday for supplying steel rails, delivery on Puget Sound, though the award will be made to a Seattle firm on a lower figure. In spite of the fact Congress has not formally provided funds, prep arations are going ahead for the 1917 operations, as it is necessary to be Teady when the short season is opened. Coupled with an increase expected in Alaska's already enormous trade that taxed steamer fleets last year, it is esti mated that the Government's railroad construction will necessitate between 60,000 and 70,000 tons of cargo being moved from the Pacific Coast. Portland is assured a share of the purchasing, if transportation can be made available, otherwise the bulk will move via Se attle and San Francisco, it being under stood here that the Golden Gate mari time fraternity is planning an adequate service from there, realizing how im portant the new Alaskan trade is. Lamber Barges Sold. During 1916 Portland moved approxi mately 7,000,000 feet of lumber to An chorage, the Columbia Contract Com pany taking care of the freight with a barge line, tugs being used to tow them. Since the season ended the barges have been disposed of, two of them being taken for the Southern Cali fornia kelp trade and two were bought on Puget Sound, as well as one of the tugs,- the Daniel Kern, and it Is pro posed to utilize them in the general Coast lumber trade. During the past year Portlanders have become interested in an independ ent Alaskan line, that of the Alaska Pacific Navigation Company, of which C. A. Burkhardt is president. The first vessel, the motorship Oregon, will be launched at Seattle February 17, and the second, now the Kuskokwim River, bought last week, is to have her oil engines replaced with powerful steam gear, formerly in the torpedo-boat Fox, which were bought about the same time. So far no announcement has been made regarding the operation of the vessels other than that thev will be In the Alaskan trade. As the Alaska Pa cific Fisheries is interested in the ships. It is assumed they will handle the pack of its plants southbound. 81,565,069 FEET IN CARGOES 35 Vessels Leave Columbia With Lumber During January. ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 1.

COWIJTZ RIVER CRAFT SINKS Steamer Chester Strikes Snag in Vi cinity of Toledo. KELSO, Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) The steamer Chester, which plied Be tween Kelso and Toledo, struck a snag yesterday about a mile below Toledo and sank. As soon as repairs can be completed the boat will make the return trip to Kelso. The upper channel of the Cowlitz is very narrow and has many dangerous cnags and bars and the Chester often punches holes into her hull on her trips, but this is the first time for sev eral years that she has been delayed . Tor any length of time by such an ac cident. The river has been so low this fall and Winter that the boat has been able to make trips to Toledo only oc casionally. ANNIE COMINGS IS RAISED Vessel That Sank a Week Ago Brought Mere for Repairs. On arrival here last night, one week after she struck a rock and sank in Camas Slough, the steamer Annie Com ings, owned by the Western Transpor tation & Towing Company, was taken to the plant of the Portland Shipbuild Ing Company to be hauled out for repairs. The steamer was raised yesterday so phe could be towed here, heavy chains beneath the hull that were fastened to a barge on each side providing support. When she sank there were 240 tons of pulp aboard consigned to the paper mill at Camas that suffered from the water to such an extent it was shoveled from the vessel as she was lifted. The loss of the pulp is estimated at 2200. The extent of the damage to the hull will be ascertained when she is out of water. SHIPS ARE WARNED OP BLOW Southeaster Is Responsible for Signals on Coast. Southeast storm .warnings were Jioisted aloft at Cape Flattery. Grays Harbor and North Head stations last night in response to instructions from District Forecaster Beals at 6:15 o'clock.

SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 1. (Special.) Tne motorship George Washington wnicn sailed from Seattle Sunday di rect for Christiania with 2100 :ons of flour, loaded at the Centennial and Fisher Mills, is given less than an even chance by local shipping men to reach her destination. The vessel in addition to her Seattle cargo took on uuo tons of general cargo at San Francisco before coming here, and it it generally believed that should she evade the British patrol In the war zone she will be picked up by the Ger mans as the result of the expected sub marine warfare. The George Washington Is the first vesjei of the Norway Pacific line and inaugurates regular service between Seattle and Norway. The flour ship ment is the largest ever sent by water from Seattle to Norway. The Wash ington has the Norwegian colors paint ed on port and starboard bow and stern, and has the word' "Nome" in electiic-lights mounted above deck. Lights Help Dyke Work. Expediting night work on the new Slaughter's dyke. Government forces under Major Jewett, Corps of Engi neers, U. S. A., have rigged two power ful acetylene lights there, and the men thereby will be enabled to carry on operations until 11 o'clock each night. Two shifts are employed, the first starting at 7 o'clock in the morning. As a precaution against river pilots being confused by the two brilliant illuminations, notice was given yester day of the intention to use the acety lene equipment. Easterners After More Tonnage. Joseph Supple, for years in marine construction at the foot of Belmont street and who recently went to New York in company with Fred A. Ballln to close contracts for two ships which they are to build, together with J. B. C. Lockwood, returned last night. He says he was delayed en route at Laramie by snow. Mr. Supple says that while only two vessels were closed for, there is a large field in the East for wooden ship contracts, many owners looking to the Pacific Coast for new tonnage. Mr. Ballin is expected home in a few days. Marine Notes. Of 1.200.000 feet of lumber the new motorship Sierra is to load for San Pedro, 7O0.00O feet will be worked at Inman-Poul- sen's mill, where she la berthed, and the remainder of the cargo at Rainier. An other carrier at Inman-Poulsen's is the steam schooner San Gabriel, a "double- ender, smaller than many of her type operated here. She has plied for a lone period between San Francisco and smaller ports, such as Coquille, and this is her first voyage to Portland. Their cargoes belne aboard, the steamers Johan Poulsen and Tiverton grot away from Westport last night, the former for San Francisco and the Tiverton for San Pedro. T . C!. Weir was vesterdav Installed as master of tho ferry St. Johns, replacing Merman Frees, as ordered by the County Commissioners Wednesday. Two barces of ties ordered by the British government have been shifted from tho SU Johns mill and Inman-Poulsen's to Kalama and the barges will return to the mills today to load the last of the orders. The ties will be stored at Kalama until the British Admiralty sends a steamer here to transport them. Delayed because Captain Tietjen sprained an ankle, also as lumber was not handled as rapidly as usual, due to snow and ice, the deoarture of the McCormlclc steamer Celllo was postponed from last night until this morning. Work of laying a pipeline for a nil to be made at the Supple-Ballin-Lockwood ship plant is to start today and by Mon day or Tuesday the port 01 roruana areuge Willlamette will commence dredging there.

Changes tn Accident Commission Are Opposed and Support la Given to School of Commerce. With the receipt of news from Wash ington that the Quartermaster-General will get consideration for Portland as a place of delivery in advertisements for bids on Government supplies, the exec utive committee of the Chamber of Commerce has authorized steps to bring about dockage arrangements that will serve still further to estab lish Portland's position in this respect. Quartermaster-General Sharpe has informed. Senator Chamberlain that Portland will be notified when bids are sought on large quantities of supplies, with a view to entering into some ar rangement for the assembling of such material at Portland, provided there shall be no additional dockage charges to the Government. The Chamber will ask the Dock Commission to make a definite presen tation to the Government which will indicate that dockage facilities here will be equalized with those of other Coast ports. In addition to this action, the School of Commerce of the University of Ore gon was supported by resolution to the Legislature and the resolution from the members' council calling on the Legislature to ask Congress to extend the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission so that the car shortage problem may be dealt with was confirmed. A resoltulon on the workmen's com pensation act was adopted and will go to the members of the Multnomah dele gation at Salem. It opposes changes proposed in the selection of the commission. WORK RUSHED AT NEW YARD East Side Site Being Cleared Rap idly for Building Ships. Work begun Tuesday afternoon at the site of the Supple-Ballin-Lockwood shipyard at the foot of East Oak street has been productive of an immense amount of preparatory labor in the way of clearing the property of debris, tearing down part of the old mill ele vated platform, getting ready for driv ing piling for ways and in planning for a fill to be made by the Port of Portland that will necessitate the dumping of about 80,000 yards of ma terial there, which will be dredged from the main channel. AH the men who can be used advan- tageouslv are employed, but as the construction advances more will be hired. Part of the platform Is being strengthened to support the mould loft, which will be 80 feet wide and 200 feet long, and toolhouses are be ing put up. Two wooden ships con tracted for are to be delivered to the Gaston, Williams & Wlgmore Steam ship Company, of Dover, Del., which is incorporated under -the laws of New York, with a capital of 5,000,000. ELEVATOR CONFERENCE TODAT Men From Interior to Discuss What Portland Intends to Do. Portland's intentions relative to the construction of a grain elevator ade quate for the requirements of the cereal trade expected to move to tidewater here following the war or until ton nage is available are to be sought to day by a committee of growers of the Inland Empire, named at a congress of farmers and dealers held early last month at Corvallla. They are Professor George B. Hyslop, of the Corvallis Ag ricultural College; A. S. Roberts and J. T. Akdisson, of The Dalles; W. W. Harrah and R. O. Barnhart, of Pendle ton, and H. B. Davldhlser, of Joseph. The conference was arranged some time ago and a special session of the Commission of Public Docks was called for 10 o'clock this morning for the con venience of the committee. The Com mission has started a campaign for an elevator, and it is firmly believed the voters will approve Its establishment when the matter ie finally passed on at the June election. CAPTAIN PAYNE QUITS CHTNOOK Government Pigger Due for Overhaul ing in Advance of New Season. Captain H. T.
