SAN COSMO STARTS CARGO
Motorship Was Formerly Lightvessel
No. 80 and Goes to Southern Coast.
To load for San Francisco, the motor
ship San. Cosmo ex-iisbtvessel Ho. 60,
left Supple's Belmont-street vard ves-
terday for the Portland Flouring Mills
Company's plant, being shifted through
the harbor by the tug L. E. Thomp
son. The vessel's engines are in place
and working, but it was deemed best
to tow her.
The San Cosmo is Intended for the
Mexican trade and is the second motor
ship fitted here for that business, the
first having been the Angel, which was
towed to San Francisco several weeks
ago for the installation of her ma
chinery, and was commandeered by
Uncle Sam immediately on being made
ready for service. In fact, advices re
ceived here are that she was sold to
the Government and the price is re
ported to have been $77,500. The ves
sel was outfitted by Los Angeles men,
while the San Cosmo is owned by Mex
ican steamship operators.
BAILEY GATZERT IX SERVICE
State of Washington Ieaves The
Dalles Run to Join Shaver Fleet.
Old-time echoes were awakened last
night by the whistle of the Regulator
line steamer Bailey Gatzert, which left
on 'her initial night trip for The Dalles.
The whistle of the Bailey is probably
the best known' on the river, for It has
sounded since the original steamer
Telephone was commissioned, and, after
it was transferred to the Bailey,
numerous efforts were made to dupli
cate the tone, but they failed.
The State of Washington, which was
on the night run, is now in the Shaver
fleet, she having been delivered to that
line Wednesday night. Negotiations
for her purchase were closed more
than a week ago. One trip was missed
by the Regulator line with the night
boat, but the Bailey was gotten in
readiness to leave last night. She re
turns today, and will operate on a daily
schedule under command of Captain
Geer, with Captain Short as pilot. The
Dallas City continues on the route
also, making three trips a week.
SHIPS SOOX TO BE LAUNCHED
New Yard at Aberdeen Will Have
Six Boats Under Construction.
ABERDEEK, Wash., May 17. Spe
cial.) The first of the two' W. R.
Grace & Co. double-decked cargo car
riers being built at the Aberdeen ship
yard will be launched early next month,
and about the same time a 2,000.000
feet capacity auxiliary lumber carrier
will be launched at the Grays Harbor
yards. The Aberdeen shipyard is
working 40 men at night.
The first keel, one for a 200-foot
auxiliary schooner, was laid this
week at the new yards of the Grays
Harbor Motorship Company. Construc
tion of two more launching' ways at
these yards is being rushed as rap
idly as possible, and two more keels
will be down in these yards before
July 4. Six ships will be under con
struction at this new yard as soon
as it is in full operation'.
SAVINGSTO GOTO BONDS
HILI.SUOItO BANK MAS PLAN TO
AID CiOVERNMENT.
Liberty Loan lunc Sold to Depositors
on Installment IMao t'ropil
Increase Deposit n.
HILLSBORO. Or., May 17. (Special.)
Government bonds on the Installment
plan is the method adopted by the
Shute Savings Bank of Hillsboro for
popularizing the liberty loan. The
bank announced today that lack of cap
ital need not prevent anyone from own
ing a bond, -and it Is believed that the
Hillsboro institution is the first to
come forward with a simple method
which will make possible the general
distribution of the loan, upon the im:
portance of which so much stress is
laid.
The plan merely substitutes pay
ments for a bond for regular deposits
in savings accounts, the bank buying
the bond and the depositor paying in
installments. No charge is made for
the service and, while banks through
out the United States are generally
handling the bonds for customers with
out charge, this is believed to be the
first instance where an offer has been
made that will permit persons of small
means to join In the loan. The only
explanation made by the management
is that it was believed all should as
sist the Government, and this method
was the most effective a bank could
adopt.
All Hillsboro banks show heavy cash
reserves as a result of high prices for
last year's crops.
ROUND-UP GOATS SHEARED
Directors Find Keeping of Animals
Is Profitable.
PENDLETON, Or., May 17. (Special.)
The herd of 16 goats bought last year
by the Pendleton Round-up as a pos
sible attraction has proved to be , a
profitable Investment, regardless of the
fact that they wero dropped from the
programme of the show last year. They
were to be featured in a goat-roping
act, but it was found that the act would
be too slow to fit in well.
The herd was kept, however, and has
been browsing all Winter on the
Round-up grounds. They were sheared
this week and each yielded a fine
fleece. Since mohair is worth 60 cents
a pound, the Round-up directors are
well pleased.
TWO MAD DOGS ARE KILLED
Lakevlew Residents Take Steps to
Prevent Outbreak of Rabies.
LAKE VIEW, Or.. May 17. (Special.)
The past week has seen several mad
dogs in Lakevlew, and it is feared that
an epidemic is about to break out. A
dog belonging to F. M. Duke went mad
a short time ago and had to be killed.
It is feared that this dog ran at large
during one night and infected a num
ber of dogs throughout town.
A dog belonging to Henry Newell
also went mad and had to be killed, as
did one belonging to Mrs. R. Rohrdell.
As a result of the outbreak of the
rabies in Lakevlew, the City Council is
taking steps to combat the disease and
has given instructions to the Marshal
to kill all unlicensed dogs.
Benton Sends More Recruits.
CORVALLIS, Or., May 17. (Special.)
Benton County sent four more re
cruits to Army headquarters at Port
land today. They are William E. Mc
Closkey, John S. McCloskey, William J.
Confer and John Lednicky, all of Al
pine. R, A, Grant, of Harlan, also
signed up with the Postmaster for
services today and will leave for Port
land this week. These young men

their Spring work along so as to get
in as volunteers. All are off the farm.
Albany Mill Capacity to Grow.
ALBANY. Or., May 17. (Special.)
The capacity of the sawmill of the Al
bany Lumber Company here is to be
increased to 60,000 feet per day. The

RISE IN RIVER IS CHECKED
Only Slight Gain Made in Stage at
. Portland Yesterday.
Attaining a height of 16.9 feet early
yesterday morning, the Willamette
River did not change much here, ac
cording to a reading of the official
gauge at the Morrison-street bridge at
7:30 o'clock last night, which showed
17 feet. The Weather Bureau forecast
was for a stage of 18 feet today and
18.2 feet tomorrow, and that the
stream would probably fall slightly
Sunday.
Measures were adopted yesterdav to
prevent damage to roadways at Pine
and Oak streets, the Diamond O barge
Oregon being sent there with a load
of gravel, a derrick being used to
dump large piles of the material onto
the roadway, so the weight would
prevent it being raised by the freshet.
On Alnsworth dock the lower level
was covered by water in places yes
terday and precautions there to hold
the roadway intact were in piling
railroad steel and similar heavy ob
jects on the dock.
DISTRICT CHANGE OPPOSED
Chamber of Commerce Against Em
bracing Oregon in Northern Zone.
On the ground that there Is closer re
ltionship between Oregon and Califor
nia in the operation of vessels, all lines
reaching here having their headquar
ters in the south, the Chamber pf
Commerce yesterday urged United
States Senator Chamberlain and Rep
resentative McArthur to use their in
fluence in having Oregon retained in
the present district of the United
States Steam vessel Inspection Service,
and not combined with Washington
and Alaska in a proposed separate dis
trict. The first district now embraces
Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Califor
nia and the Hawaiian Islands and
really has to do with all licensed ves
sels in the West. There isa bill pend
ing before Congress to hold California
and the Hawaiian Islands in the first
district and create a new one of the
northern territory.
