16 THE 3IORXING OREGOXIAJJ", SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1917. IS GRIP ON BALKANS Bulgarians Apprehensive Re garding Purposes of the Central Powers. INDEPENDENCE IS DESIRED "While Emperor and: Kins Frater nize, Agents of Bulbars Are En deavoring to Confer With. Entente Allies. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 19. While Em peror William and Xing' Ferdinand of Bulgaria have been exchanging- assur ances at Sofia of the unshakable loyalty of Bulgaria and Germany to each other and of the permanent nature of the alliance of the two countries, Bulgarian agents abroad have been endeavoring to get into touch with the entente powers on the subject of peace and subsequent relations. Their efforts are declared to be in spired by apprehension that Germany and Austria-Hungary, particularly the latter, may not be over-zealous in de fending Bulgaria's interests at the peace conference, as well as by a de- ire on Bulgaria's part to escape from revolving in an exclusively German orbit after the war. The Associated Press correspondent is able to report that a. Bulgarian rep- j resentative recently sought and ob tained an opportunity in a neutral European capital to lay before the en tente governments the special desires of his country with regard to a peace settlement, and in a one-sided conver sation explained Bulgarian aspirations to regain an independent political Ftatus as soon as the war was con cluded and resume cordial relations with the entente powers. Bulgaro ot Satisfied. As the case was presented, in short, the Central Europe idea of an economic league in which Bulgaria would play a comparatively minor role does not appeal to the Bulgarian mind. Attempts are also beins made to get before the public in America and in the entente countries a defense of Bul garian pretensions to Macedonia and the Uobrudja, the suggestion even be ing openly made from the Bulgarian side that Serbia should be compensated with Austrian territory from Bosnia and Herzogovina, a suggestion which is pointed to as illustrative of the attitude of many Bulgarians toward their own allies. German Troops Favored. The correspondent has of late heard of considerable ill feeling between the Bulgarians and their allies. Complaints are made that Bulgarian divisions were compelled to march long distances on foot while favored German troops rolled past them in trains, this favoritism ex citing particular bitterness on the part of a select Bulgarian division from the capital. The German attempt to maintain con trol of Bulgaria's single coal field has excited much unfriendly comment also in Bulgaria, and Field Marshal von Mackensen is charged with favoring the Rumanians at Bulgarian expense. Furthermore, the press controversy in certain German and Austrian papers, in which the Serbian claims to parts of Macedonia wore defended, apparent ly has left an indelible impression of distrust on Bulgarian public opinion. an impression which interchange of cordial telegrams between the states seems to have been unable to efface. It remains to be seen whether Emperor "William's trip, declared to have been undertaken with this purpose in view will prove any more successful. BONDS ARE PROPOSED COMMISSION OF rtBLIC DOCKS MAY INVEST SINKING Pl'XDS, Money AVhleH Cannot Be I'tnrd Construction PnrpoBpii Can Be Loaned to Government Liberty loan bonds of the second Issue. J60.000 of them, will be purchased by the Commission of Public roiks, with sinking funds on band. It has been ruled by City Attorney La Roche that while the Commission may not use funds on hand for construction pur poses, which were derived from the sale of bonds, the sinking funds may be diverted to the aid of the country. The Port of Portland Commission has some funds of the same character. X. C. O'Reilly, treasurer of the Comm is sion, is absent from the city and it may be arranged immediately on his return to allot certain money for the big" wartime fund. Steel to be required for the muni cipal grain elevator at St. Johns, 2100 tons of it, is to be ordered at once, plans and specifications for the ma terial having been approved by the Ioek Commission yesterday. A discussion took place among the members as to whether it was feasible to propose the enactment of legisla tion through which waterfront property abutting on an improved channel could bo assessed for a share of the im provement. It was thought such a system might be followed as the dis trict assessment plan ashore, through which street nnd sewer construction Is cared for. Mr. La Roche was asked to look up legal points along- those lines and report to the Commission. CABLE LAID IX DEEP TKEXCII Dock Commission Rules Line Must 15e 4 0 Ecct Below low 'Water. By means of a dipper dredge a trench Is beinji dufr across the river at St. Johns extending westward from the foot of Philadelphia street. In which the Pacific Telephone & Teleitraph Company is laying a submarine cable. Permission to carry on the work was prranted by the Commission of Public Docks and a formal agreement was ordered drawn, in which the company obliges itself to lay the cable 40 feet below low water. Material taken from the trench is beinsr deposited ashore and. while it is expected the trench will be filled by sediment and shifting material on the bed of the river so long as the channel project calls for a depth of 30 feet there will be no danger of anchors louling the cable. Dredge to Continue "Work. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 10. (Spe cial.) An additional appropriation of $2500 was made by the Clarke County Commissioners in special session today to continue the operation of the Gov ernment dredge Oregon, which Is working- in the local harbor and dredging material for the construction of the new industrial roadway and gammon- KAISER LUS NG F large factory district.

TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 19. (Special.) -Approximately 35,000 men were at drill on the parade grounds at Camp Lewis today, forming all the evolu tions from battalion review to squad drill. Discharges yesterday at the camp to- tailed 133 because of physical unfitness. Discharges are being made as fast as the officers c. .1 prepare the blanks. The average rejections for physical de fects is about 9.6 per cent- Some of the men, who do not appear to be hold ing up well under the strain of mili tary drill, will be examined again. Re jection of one-half of 1 per cent of those already accepted probably will be the result. The physical standard of the new Army will be kept at a high point. POTATO SLUMP PREDICTED Patrick Cudahy Says Farmers Will Take Half Present Prices. MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Oct. 19. "I think the farmers will be glad later on to take half of the prices they are now getting for potatoes." said Patrick Cud ahy, head of a packing concern, today in discussing the statement of Food Administrator Hoover that the farm ers are holding back their crops. "I think Mr. Hoover's statement is sound." said Mr. Cudahy. "The farm ers are getting altogether too much the best of things. They ought to be regulated, the same as business men. They are holding back wheat and pota toes for higher prices. People coming from the country tell me the farmers are holding potatoes in their cellars. "They are getting from 1 to $1.25 for potatoes now. Next Spring they will be getting 50 cents." LAST OF QUOTA CALLED Clatsop County's Final Eight Will Leave Astoria November 2. ASTORIA. Or.. Oct. 19.

B0NEYARD SCENE CHANGED Foundation Company's riant Illum inated at Night by Powerful Searchlight Derricks Ilavo 120-Foot Booms. Keel No. 1, measuring- 250 feet in length, is in place at the plant of the Foundation Company, the second ways are planked and ready for keel blocks, excavating is in full swing for the others and. with part of the battery of power saws set on their concrete foundations, the biggest wooden ship building yard in this district is really constructing ships. Considering that the representatives of the. Foundation Company came to Portland July 23, the. headway gained up to date is rated most commendable. Work has been carried on during the last month principally with the aid of house carpenters, as the strike of wooden workers had an effect there in the way of eliminating experienced men as it did at other plants. Today the former "boneyard" of the O.-W. R. & N., a property that held the name and purpose for many years, bears no resemblance to its original aspect Gotje are the remnants of old hulls, weather worn sheds and the long strip along North Front street, that bore principally weeds and long grass. In its place are spick and span build ings. The green growth has given way to an evenly planked assembling yard. Old structures have been added to and converted into storehouses and the like, while the main structures the saw shed, mold loft, administration building, compressor house and others are new. The temporary hospital is as white as a dairy lunch inside, while outside a coat of green, trimmed with white, lends a colorful tone to the vicinity. Green and White Color Scheme, Green and white, by the way, are the official colors of the Foundation Company and it is not unlikely all buildings will be decorated with cold water paint, though the big corpora tion is bent on completing 20 ships for the French government without loss of time, rather than undertaking to beautify that particular section of the waterfront. The thoroughness with which the es tablishment of the plant has been car ried on is said to have been duplicated at Tacoma. where the same sized yard is being finished and that has attained the same stage of completion as the Portland property. Bayly Hipkins, manager for the com pany here, is proud of lofty derricks rigged here. Their booms measure 120 feet and he says he has not seen as long anywhere in the Vnited States. An innovation is the installation of elec tric searchlights on buildings at dif ferent points in the yard, so after dark the entire space is illuminated and watchmen have an easy time in scan ning every section in their frequent rounds. Auxiliary Srhoonen to Be Built. The ships to be assembled here will be of the auxiliary schooner rig built by nearly all Pacific Coast yards be fore war business was accepted, ex cept that instead of heavy oil engines they will be fitted wltn twin triple coninound steam engines. Charles F. Swigert, head of the pa cific Bridge Company and the Electric Foundry Company, who has represented the Foundation Company in getting things shipshape, feels that good head way has been gained in spite of the strike. Theodore Knudson, formerly stmerlntendent of the yard of the Peninsula Shipbuilding Company, is in cha rpfi of hull construction at the Foundation plant. CALIFORNIA VESSELS LATE Rose City and F. A. Kilburn Report ! Yesterday and Leave Today. It was after noon yesterday when the steamers Rose City and F. A. Kilburn reported from San Francisco, though both were due the night before. The vessels were held back by head winds and seas between the Golden Gate and Cape Blanco. Longshoremen were employed all of last night discharging the steamer Rose City, she having brought about 2000 tons of cargo, and every effort is to be made to get her away this after noon.

Port of Portland Commissioners are to meet at 11:30 o'clock this morning to open bids for the sale of $50,000 worth of towage and pilotage bonds. A meet ing was to have been held Thursday, but a quorum failed to respond. Major George H. Kelly having resigned early in the month and left for the East, the membership now consists of six, while D. C. O'Reilly Is East on busi ness. Since there is a deficiency in the dredging fund, some of the members have wished that the Government would return $475,000 that the Fort advanced a few years ago that construction could be continued on the north jetty at the entrance to the Columbia, which was doubtful at the time, owing to the passage of the rivers and harbors bill having been delayed.
