EAST SIDE HAS ADVANTAGE Issuance of Bonds to Amount of $1,500,000 Authorized First Unit Will Care for 1,000,000 Bushels of 1918 Crop. CHAMBERLAIN'S ACT HELPED DEFEAT PLAN' TO HEGL LATE STEEL. PRICES. OREGONIAi NEWS BUREAU. Washington, July 26. Senator Chamberlain today submitted to the Council of National refense a letter from the Portland Dock Commission asking that the Gov ernment aid It in securing a low price on steel for building mu nicipal docks and grrain eleva tors. Under bids received the price quoted is tlOO a ton. Sen ator Chamberlain last week helped defeat an amendment to the food bill which would have empowered the Government to regulate steel prices. Selection of the Malarkey, Ogden and Oatton tracts, located at St. Johns, on the east side of the Willamette River and below all bridges, was made yes terday by the Commission of Public Docks as the site of a 1,000,000-bushel grain elevator with adjoining flat warehouse and water terminal facili ties. The property represents a combined area of 117.55 acres and, with addition al space to be reclaimed extending from the shore to the harbor line, it is said the total will be 153.55 acres. The price of the three pieces i3 J137.000. The decision was announced at 1:30 P. M., following an executive session of two hours. That it had been agreed on before was apparent from the fact . lengthy typewritten statement cov ering it was given out at 1:30 o'clock, also an hour later a drawing of the property was finished. Bonds Are Authorized. Simultaneously with the selection toeing made it was announced that the commission had authorized the issu ance of $1,500,000 of the $3,000,000 bonds voted for the purpose at the June election, bids for them to- be opened September 6. They will be dated October 1, will draw interest at the rate of 44 per cent and will be serial bonds, which are preferred to Finking fund bonds, as it is estimated that a saving of $278,850 will be made In interest. The bonds are to be re tired at the rate of $50,000 a year, be ginning In 1920 and in 1944. 1945. 1946 and 1947 they will be retired at the rate of $75,000 a year. Except for a email issue of crematory bonds, it is paid to be the first time the municipal ity has issued serial bonds. Previous to yesterday's meeting the commission met with the Port of Portland Commission to make known that extensive dredging would be re quired in front of the property, both for channel purposes and to obtain material with which to make a Xill on the land. Commission Gives Reasons. The commission's statement follows:' The Commission of Public Docks, hav ing given careful consideration to the water front situation in connection with the op tions held on several available properties, lias made its selection of the site which is to bo utilized for the more immediate construction of elevator and freight ter minal facilities, leaving the question of ac quiring additional water frontage, under options held, for future consideration. The site selected is located at St. Johns, on the cast side, of the Willamette Itiver. nd includes tho properties known as the Malarkey and Ogden tracts and a small parcel of land owned by William Gatton. The Malarkey tract contains 511 acres, tho Ogden tract 40.55 acres and the Gatton parcel 12 acres, a total of 117.53 acres. On the Malarkey tract there- is an addi tional 24.7 acres located between the prop erty line and the harbor line, and on the Ogden tract an additional 11.3 acres, bo that the. total acreage of the site avail able for development becomes l.3.55 acres. The price of the Malarkey fill acres is JOO.OOO, the Ogden tract $35,000 and the Uatton parcel $12,000, a total cost of $137,000. Like other waterfront properties, this site requires to be filled, and it is proposed to raise it to the general elevation of S2 feet ubove low water, which is the height most convenient for the waterfront facilities to be constructed. Additional Ground Taken. The Commission first considered acquir ing; only the Malarkey property, as furnish ing an acreage euf f lclent ,for present needs, but because of the fact that the material to be excavated for the proposed slips and about 2.OO0.0OO cubic yards in the approach channel would leave an excess yardage which would have to be wasted on adja cent properties, it was deemed advisable to include in the site the Odgen tract, as tho yardage to be excavated would about balance the amount which would be re quired to reclaim the entire tract to the determined elevation. The site selected Is at present served by the St. Johns branch of the O.-W. K. & rc. Company trackage at the rear of the prop erty, at an average elevation of about 45 feet. By running a track parallel to the O.-W. R. & N. Company trackage on a one per cent grade the general elevation of the terminal Is coon reached, providing a level trackage for the entire terminal fa cilities it. Is proposed to provide. This trackage layout is satisfactory to the rail roads from an operating standpoint. In selecting the cast side of the Willam ette mver lor tn;s terminal the Commi pion was to a great extent governed by the fact that the bulk of the car freight, par ticularly grain. Is first handled on that ide of the river, and in its distribution to n.n East Side terminal the necessity of haul ing cars across bridges or through the al ready congested West Side terminals Is thereby eliminated, and that under agree ment uy me raiiroaas tne 1J, & S. C01 pany will reach this site on satisfactory and lavorable trms. Other Influential factors were tnac me Kite is Delow all bridges and that the widest part of the harbor la op posite the proposed terminal. Construction Is Outlined. The more Immediate construction which the Commission contemplates undertaking day be briefly outlined as follows: 1. The first unit grain elevator of a ca pacity of 1.0On,(M)o bushels. 2. A two-level rler 1200 feet long of which only Coo feet of the lower level would at this time be fully completed for use and the foundation only for the remaining 00O Jeet. for subsequent completion. The upper level of the pier to be constructed for its full length and the outer half covered with a transit shed ISO feet in width and BOO feet In length, leaving the Inner 000 feet of the pier to be used as an open dock, until the sieeessity for the completion of the lower level and the transit shed becomes more urgent. :t. The excavation of the slip for Ha en tire length of 1200 feet and width of 2H0 feet. 4. At the proposed pier across the first Blip to be provided the only work now con templated Is the driving of such piling of the plT Itself as may be necessary to retain the fill to be made there and as fen del s for vessels entering the slip. 5. To fill the property to elevation 32 feet above low water. 6. Bulkheadlng and shore work reqalred In connection with tho fill. 7. Rail trackage sufficient for present seeds. oV Grading of minimum amount o: roads and streets required and planklns same as temporary paving until permanent set of fill has taken place. The Commissions feels that the work and facilities enumerated will serve the nesds of shipping for the present and that on:y ss limited an amount of construction as possi ble should now be undertaken. In other words, all expenditures for improvements wi'.i be held down to a minimum at this uiuc Engineer to Prepare Plana. G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer, was authorized to proceed with detailed plans and specifications for the proj ect. Deputy City Attorney Latourell was In attendance at the meeting, so legal features of the land purchase were taken care of. The aim will be to have the improvement ready for the 1918 cereal crop, L. Y. Keady appeared before the Commission during the regular meet ing, in advance of the executive ses sion, in support of his offer of a site on Hayden Island, $750 an acre being named for either 50 or 100 acres. C. C. Colt, head of the Union Meat Com pany, also made a presentation in con nection with an offer from that com pany for 1700 feet frontage on North Portland harbor, to any depth required. The Commission also had been offered two pieces north of the Portland Flour ing Mills Company, one owned by the Ukase Investment Company and the other by the Portland Gas & Coke Com pany, as well as a site on Mock'a Bot tom, below there. At Bridgeport was another parcel offered, as well as prop erty on which Is situated the plant ot the North Pacific Lumber Company. FIR EMBARGO IS LIFTED SOFT WOODS OF PACIFIC COAST CAJT GET ISTO ENGLAND. Order Not Expected to Benefit Mock Because of Lack of Vessels to Carry Oregon Products. The British embargo against Douglas fir and other soft woods of the Pacific Coast, which has been in effect since early in the war, was lifted yesterday. Cablegraphic advice to this effect was received here last night by The Timherman from its Liverpool corre spondent. liiis means that the sort woods pro duced on the North Pacific Coast can move to Europe without restrictions so long as shippers are able to get bot toms to carry them. However, lumber vessels continue to be a scare commodity, and it is im probable that removal of the embargo will have much effect on the volume of business. Exporters here report a lively de and for Douglas fir, pine, spruce, ce dar and other soft woods in the United Kingdom and other European coun tries open to American trade, but they are unable to get ships. Within the last few months the em bargo, as it affects spruce, has been modified. Exporters have been able to ship spruce intended for airplane con struction on special permit. Several cargoes of this commodity have gone out from Portland and other North Pa cific ports. It is probable that the fleet of wooden vessels now under construction on this Coast will make space available for the shipment of fir and other local products. To this extent the removal of the embargo doubtless will be of immediate advantage. Otherwise, it is improbable that' the industry here will benefit much.

NORTHWEST GETS BIGS JOB Captain. E. C. Genereaux, of Port land, Named Agent of Board and Vp-Towu Office AVill Bo Opened Wood, Steel Used. Just as the United States is to classify Its emergency fleet in the American Bureau of Shipping, the French government is to have its new fleet constructed under the rules of the Bureau Veritas, the well-known French society. News reached here yesterday that R. H. Laverie. of New York, chief surveyor in the United States for the Bureau Veritas, had been appointed representative of the French Republic and he in turn named Cap tain E. C. Genereaux, of Portland, the representative for this district. The French government is said to have placed contracts since July 1 that mean the building of 62 ships in the Northwest. 40 of them being wooden vessels and 12 steel. Of the wooden fleet 20 will be turned out at Port land by the Foundation Company, of New York, which has leased the O.-W. R- & N. "boneyard' property and will install ten sets of ways. The same company has 20 other wooden vessels to construct for the French interests and a yard for that is to be established, either on the Columbia River, Grays Harbor or Puget Sound. Of the steel vessels the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation will build two and it is understood the Northwest Steel Company will turn out six and four others were placed with J. F. Duthie & Co.. of Seattle. They are to be of the type now under way, 8800 tons, deadweight.

The Bureau Veritas will establish an uptown office with an adequate staff. Captain. Genereaux is surveyor for the society here, having been named early in the year, succeeding Fred H. Ballin, who became a partner in the Ship building firm of Supple & Ballin. YOUTHS WILL- BE TRAINED Word Awaited From Washington Rel ative to Apprentices on Ships. Captain Swayne, of the bark Game cock, which is to load lumber, is ex pecting to carry four ordinary seamen and six apprentices, youths from ,18 to v years being selected, but as yet no official information had arrived from the Shipping Board, as to how the young Americans are to be signed or for what period they will serve. The bark Dreadnought will carry 12 apprentices. After years of experience at sea, which he says were started with "hard knocks," Captain Swayne thinks the present opportunities for young men to follow the sea are the most promis ing he has known. He believes the ap prentices will be rapidly advanced. stepping to quartermasters and fourth mates and then up through the licensed grades. The construction of so many vessels with a limited number of offi cers to operate them has prompted the Shipping Board to decide on carrying apprentices as well as establish nauti cal schools throughout the country. DREDGING SEASON' STARTED Port Will Join With Government Fleet if Desired on Columbia. First of the river dredging' fleet to leave for the lower river was the Wah kiakum, of the Federal fleet, which towed from the Government moorings to Slaughter's yesterday.
