REPORT TELLS EFFORTS W. T. B. Dodson, Executive Secre tary of Chamber, Surveys Situa tion of Meeting of Trade and Commerce Bureau. O. M. Clark was re-elected a dlrec tor of the Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of the. trade and commerce bureau last night, and following' this more or less routine procedure, the members Indulged in a heart-to-heart talk- on the action necessary to re-establish Portland's trade supremacy. The bureau was cheered by the op timistic report of the year's progress and future prospects presented by W. I. B. Dodson, executive secretary of the Chamber. Mr. Dodson emphasized the necessity of securing bulk grain elevators for Portland as provided for in the bond ing measure to be voteS upon by the people at the coming municipal elec tion. He also recommended, on behalf of the committee, that the Port of Portland establish and operate coal bunkering plants on the river for the accommodation of visiting vessels, placing the port on an equality with other Pacific ports. Local Initiative Held Need. The report laid particular emphasis on the absolute necessity of local in vestments in steamship enterprises if the foreign and domestic trade exten sion so essential to the further ad vancement of the city is to be secured. In reviewing the work of the bureau for the last year the report continued: "A mission was undertaken to Europe to have established both an Oriental and an Australian line. Promises were secured from certain steamship inter ests that these services would be un dertaken as soon as the ships were available, but war conditions prevented the powers interested from taking an Immediate step in this direction. "As a preliminary to the establish ment of Oriental andi Australian lines, assurances were sought from the rail ways that the proper support for through or transcontinental freight be given. These assurances were given. "Another effort was made to have an Oriental line established by a neutral power. This reached at one stage the point of a definite offer, but the con ditions imposed were not agreed to by all parties affected and the enterprise for at least the time being is in abey ance. A movement is afoot to revive it in such form that it may have greater assurance of success. " Opening; Here Opportune. "Overtures have been made to at least six other companies in respect to an Oriental service. It Is conceded that Portland has the best opening for an Oriental line in the Pacific today, if the railways serving the port and If the people in the port territory Join in the necessary spirit of support. Out of these various efforts it is an absolute certainty that an Oriental line will come, but when we are unable to say at the present time. "Mitsui & Co., formerly maintained headquarters here for the Northwest. They were operating inbound vessels to the port, loaded with sulphur and hardwood. We- undertook to see that these vessels were loaded outbound with either through freight or local cargo. The effort failed, at least for the present, and Mitsui & Co. have moved their headquarters to Puget bound, a fact the committee deeply de plores. We were unable at the time to prevent the action. "Suzuki & Co. maintained headquar ters here and were figuring on very heavy shipmens, particularly of steel, to Japan. We negotiated with the company to handle the same through this port. Had the company been mov ing all of this cargo on its own ves sels, we probably would have suc ceeded, but the fact that a high per centage of the total is handled on com mercial liners, particularly Japanese ships, and some of its own vessels, prompted the management to feel that they had to place their office where they could get the Joint service of commercial liners and where they could operate their own vessels. For this reason, Suzuki & Co. moved their headquarters to Puget Sound; another fact we regret. "During the year the president of the Java Pacific Line visited Portland. After getting information as to our import and export customs he con cluded that they were ' not ready to give us even an alternative service with San Francisco, although admit ting that we have the fundamental re sources to warrant the service. "W. R. Grace & Co. formerly main tained their chief Northwest office at this port. The management of the company found it expedient to close the Portland office, to make the prin cipal merchandising department of the company headquarters in Seattle, and to transact its Northwest business in that port. The reasons prompting this change were the Oriental connection and the fact that Puget Sound takes northbound cargo for the West Coast South American line of the company, and Portland has not the industries to take such northbound cargo. "Other losses of less Importance have been sustained." Pacific Coast Shipping News. ASTORIA, Or.. March 21. (Special.)

FRANCIS DRAKE, Assistant Forecaster. I B 52 ? 3 trS a e o r- W 3 C H IW a 1 f. - .'o K 3 : 13 to m NAVY TO ASK BIDS Federal Shipping Official to Be Here April 2. PATROL BOATS WANTED All Oregon- Shipbuilders Will Be In vited to Conference 12 -Knot, 110-Foot Wooden Vessels Will Carry Guns. News that Commissioner Theodore Brent, of the Federal Shipping Board, would be at Portland April 2 and con duct a meeting with shipbuilders at 10 o'clock ,that morning, also the receipt of blank prooosals from the Navy De partment, inviting Portland and Ore gon ship concerns to bid on the con struction of wooden patrol boats, were important features on which the Cham ber of Commerce worked yesterday. All marine construction plants en gaged In turning out wooden carriers throughout the state will be Invited to meet with Commissioner Brent so thy may have first-hand knowledge of the building programme of the Shipping Board, while they will be enabled to ac quaint him thoroughly with the pros pects here for early delivery and the class of carriers that can be under taken. The Chamber of Commerce has been informed through official sources that It is desired Commissioner Brent be placed in touch with all builders of wooden ships, and he will be accorded like opportunities of investigation at other .Coast cities. As to the patrol boats wanted by the Navy, as a speed of at least 12 knots is specified, they are regarded for small harbor duty rather than submarine chasers. Lacking plans and specifica tions so as to show details, W. D. B. Dodson. executive secretary of the Chamber, has telegraphed to Puget Sound and Washington for that data. Bids are to be opened at Washington March 31. at 10 o'clock. The blank proposals call for vessels 110 feet long, 15.6 feet wide over the guards, the height of the hull at the bow to be 14 feet, and the height of the top of the pilothouse from the bot tom of the keel to be 19.6 feet. The trial displacement is to' be 56 tons, and before acceptance they must undergo an endurance run of four hours at 12 knots, boats built subsequently by the same contractors to have a run of two hours. The Government wili furnish guns, certain machinery and equipment. The vessels are to be fitted with gaso line engines, and be built under Inspec tion. THODE FAGEIiTXD IS VICTIM French Ship Jules Gommes Joins aiany Others Xow Under Seas. Once again the European war has been brought home to Portlanders through the sinking of the well-known Norwegian tramp Thode Fagelund, one of the best-known foreign carriers that made this port before the trouble began in the Summer of 1914. She is partic ularly well remembered because of having been in collision with the Ger man bark Thielbek at Astoria, the morning of August 24, 1913. Recent ly the Federal Court decided the Port of Portland was responsible for the damage resulting therefrom, a Port pilot being on the Thode' Fagelund and the Thielbek was In tow of a Port tow boat. Another vessel to fall a victim to the German U-boat flotillas was the French bark Jules Gommes, which figured in the grain fleet more than once. Gradually the list of lost vessels that have voyaged from Portland is being increased and more probably will go down before the strife ends. SHIPYARD TO EMPIiOY 5000 Tacoma Plant Already Solds Con tracts Totaling $10,000,000. TACOMA, Wash.. March 21. (Spe cial.) Within 12 months after the keel for the first steamship Is laid at the Todd shipbuilding plant more than 5000 men will be emplt yed in the con struction of vessels of all types. Chester Thome, one of the directors of the Todd organization, today said that there probably would be about 250t men employed when the yards are first open. Work already obtained for the Ta coma plant of the Todd Shipbuilding Company will reach a valuation of nearly $10,000,000. Seven big Cunard ers will cost more than fl, 000,000 each and other steamships to be built in Tacoma will have a great cargo-carrying capacity. The Todd shipyards will be Inspected tomorrow by Stevenson Taylor, of New York, president of the American Bureau of Shipping.. 'He is visiting Pacific Coast cities, and while in Tacoma will be the guest of H. F. Alexander. MORE BIG SHIPS COMING HERE II. F. Ostrander Foresees General Rush in Trade on Coast After "War. One man evincing deep interest In loadine- the JaDanese tramD Somedono Maru with "lumber here for Shanghai, Is H. F. Ostrander, who Is here from Puget Sound and has the vessel under time charter, having relet her for a Shanghai voyage to the China Import & Export Lumber Company. "We will send ships here when there is business for us," remarked Mr. Os trander yesterday, after paying a com pliment to Portland and the territory it drains. Though from the North and now deep in the Puget Sound-Oriental trade, Mr. Ostrander thinks the entire Pacific Coast will make Its greatest advances In a maritime way after the war and says he looks for big business at all ports. Knowing the reputation of the Columbia River District for han dling lumber cargoes, his trip is largely perfunctory, and he will return north with the feeling that the tramp will be on her way as soon as loaded. 16 EXPOSED PASSENGERS HELD Sixty-One Vaccinated When Rose City Reaches San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO. March- 21. Sixty one cabin passengers of the steamer Rose City, which arrived here yester day from Portland with a. case of smallpox aboard, were vaccinated to day by the United States quarantine surgeons, while 16 steerage passengers and crew members were taken to An gel Island for fumigation and observa tion. The vessel also was fumigated. Marine Notes. To make measurements for a new rudder, she having lost the original one, the tug Coo.uille. of the Shaver fleet, was lifted on the Port of Portland drydock yesterday morning. The vessel had been held at the Portland yard, it being expected she could be hauled out there, as there Is other work to be done, but the steamer State of Wash ington remains firmly on the cradle there. Another ffort will be made today to haul her from the ways. change was mada In plans, the steamer Twin Cities was obtained from The Dalles-Columbia line to go on the Port-land-The Dalles run in place of the Tahoraa, which Is being raised at Dalles City Rock. It was Intended to use the J. N. Teal, but she was held back on the expectation she would be started for the Upper Columbia region. One arrival In the river yesterday from the Golden Gate was the steamer Daisy, which loads lumber at the Multnomah and Clark & Wilson nills for Ban Francisco. James Good has succeeded E. R. Monney aa master of the Wenona; George May is navigating the gasoline schooner Mirene, Instead of II. N. Casaday. and E. L. Bab bidge has resumed charge of the gasoline packet Efln. relieving J. G. Babbidge. Coming here for another lumber cargo, the steamer Daisy Mathews is reported to have sailed from Honolulu Tuesday. Captain John Foldat, dean of 'the Mc cormick fleet and skipper of the Wapams, was of good cheer yesterday because of his return to the liver, having made the pre vious three voyages to Puget Sound. The ship leaves today for ports aa far aa San Diego and her navigator thinks a more Ideal run than between Portland and the South ern California city could not be asked for, but extending the tour north of the Columbia River Is taken as punishment. Judging from the number of passengers listed, the Wa Pama la retaining her popularity. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND, March 21. Arrived Steam ers Daisy and W. F. Herrin. from San Francisco.

BIG MOVEMENT Oil Feed Is Rushed in Trainloads to Sheep Sections. SUDDEN DEMAND DEVELOPS Belated Storm Finds Flockmastera In Southern Idaho and Colorado Unprepared Supplies Drawn From Inland Empire. There Is a big movement of oats and also of hay from Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington points Into Southern Idaho and Colorado for sheep feeding. The de mand has become -so strong that supplies are being rushed through in trainloads. Sheepmen generally made preparations for feeding during the usual period, but they expected to have their stock on grass by this time. The recent storm, however, upset their calculations. In some of the sheep sections the snow is now three feet deep on the ground. With their flocks threatened with destruction, emergency buying of feed has become the order of the day. , The interior feed markets are excellent and prices have .Advanced suddenly. Al falfa, which a very short time ago could have been bought in the country at $10. is now selling at $18 to $18. Oats holders are also asking more than at any time this season. The local oats market has naturally been strengthened by the interior movement and prices have an upward tendency.. Hay Is holding steady here as enough is coming along to supply local requirements, which are moderate. The wheat market was easier and bids were 1 to 4 lower at the Exchange in line with the Eastern decline. There was some demand from the Southwest, but the car situation was against business. Inquiry from California was light. Bales posted on the board were B000 bushels of May blue stem at 11.72 and 10,000 bushels of May forty-fold at 11.66. The grain bag market Is firm. Prices have advanced half a cent in- the past fortnight and are now quoted at 10 M 0 1014 c The Liverpool grain cable. said: "Wheat firm with moderate export of fers and limited arrivals. Argentine clear ances moderate and India and Australia offers firmer. Corn firm with good general demand and liberal continental absorption. American advices favor holders. Oats firm. "Freight market is very firm with India, Australia and Argentina reporting great scarcity. "Argentine weather continues clear and warm. Gathering In the north of corn con tinues and light yield is being revealed. In the center the outlook is satisfactory; In the south . it is feared prospects overesti mated." , A New York broker writes of the market outlook: . "The wheat decline we Indicated as at hand last week has begun, and we look for it to continue. The pendulum is now swing ing downward for the balance of this sea son in our opinion, always allowing for momentary rallies, but only momentary. Every bullish argument is discounted and stale but candor calls for its recognition and admission and it would require some very serious unexpected feature to change our views. Corn and oats will go with wheat mod erately so, perhaps in corn and oats, but the technical position in both la not healthy." Terminal receipts. In ears, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: wheat.Barley.Flour.Oats.Hay. Portland- Wednesday ..... Tear ago. Season to date.. Year ago ...... Tacoma Tuesday ........

With nearly 4000 acres more cantaloupes this year than were planted last year in the Imperial Valley, shippers are already beginning to discuss the coming crop and its distribution and sale. At this writing, says the Brawley correspondent of the Packer, about 83 per cent are planted, most of which are up out of the ground, some very far advanced in growth. Plants that are showing above the ground seem to be very healthy and in good condition. Prac tically the entire amount is estimated aa a perfect stand. Conditions at this time are generally better than the same date last year. The principal question which shippers are worrying about la a probable car shortage. Carllne officials in Los Angeles state, how. ever, that aa soon as the cantaloupe season approaches refrigerator cars will be rushed back to the Imperial Valley by special trains, empty, so that a sufficient supply will be on hand. As soon as the necessity for cars arises, rolling refrigerators westbound will be stopped. The Pacific Fruit - Express Is building 2000 new cars; these, however, will not be ready until late In the Pall, probably by the time grape shipments begin.
