Execution of a lease on the Couch street dock property by the Parr-Mc-Cormick Steamship Company yesterday preceded an official announcement that the company sjivould resume the trans portation of general merchandise from San Francisco to Portland July 1. About a year ago the service was suspended, except for occasional car goes of cement, plaster and asphalt, but now a reorganization has taken place and Joseph Pratt, Portland agent, says the old system will be followed of accepting 11 classes of cargo for ship ment from the Bear state here. Steamers of the McCormick line will be used as well as the Daisy Freeman and Nehalem, now in the Fain & Moran service, while there will be one and probably two carriers sailing un der the banner of Parr-McCormic exclusively.

Wells, Portland agent, who says it is the first instance in three years that south bound space remained idle.
