CABURA ALSO TAKES WATER Twentj-Dollar Gold Tect Csed in Christening Vessel for First Time- on Pacific Coast; Coin Goes to Babies. There ttas no slowing up yesterday In the pace that save July such prom Inenca in the matter of ship launching, for two vessels were floated, the Ashe bum at the Supple-Ballin plant, leav Ina- the ways at !:51 o'clock, and the Cabura at the yard of the Coast Ship building Company, starting riverward at ::o o'clock. Miss Eleanor Thompson, daughter of the superintendent of the Supple Ballln organization, acted as sponsor. A feature of the launching was the fact the Asheburn is officially known as No. 231 and floated at 2:31 o'clock, while the Ainlie. launched July 16. was No. 130, so she went overboard at 1:30 o'clock. At the Coast yard Miss Anna TJIen. li-year-old daughter c Mr. and Mrs. H- E. Lien, the former being superin tendent of the plant, christened the Cabura. and was the first in tbe entire Pacific Coast district to take part the launching of a shin In usinar 120 gold piece Instead of wine or othe liquids. To the streamers of Nations colors tied at the Item of the ship was made last the gold piece, suspended orer a Belgian baby milk bottle, an as the ship started Miss Ulen cut,th tree mere, the coin falling Into 'to bottle.

SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 1. (Special.) mm uie gradual Increase in the vessels placed at tbe disposal of the shipping In terests of San Francisco the port reoords within another month are certain to exceed all past records for the number of ships errlvlogand sailing, total tonnage of ships and also for tbe amount of Incoming and outgoing freight via water. The figures for July are more satisfactory than for several months, for they show that 563.568 tons of steamers and 7.87 tons of sailing vessels arrived during the 31 days. According to the maritime department of the Chamber of Commerce tbe business for August win be increased to considerable proportions on sreount of the restoration of the vessels of the East Asiatic fleet. wblcb may be utilised by the shippers. These bave a capacity of something like 75,000 tons. Large suras obtained from the Government for carrying malls overseas is to be a thing of the past, in the opinion of the operating shipping men of tbe port, who today dis cussed the recent ruling of Uncle Sam re garding compensation that may be collected for rendering mall service on ships. The order coming from Washington states that where competition Is lacking. or the rate Is excessive, the Postmaster-General may order a steamship concern to carry mall and receive only such rate as Is paid for carrying express or freight. The shipping men say that there will be no evading the order. Owing to the organization of a . union. the dock clerks of the port are now receiving better compensation than ever before in the history of sblpplnr. and tbe result is that It j not as difficult as formerly to se cure men when they are needed. The rate for work varies, but nearly spproxlmates the compensation accorded to the husky steve dores, who about hold their own with the men la tbe shipyards. TJ. S.

There was never a time when the hop market was in so unsettled and uncertain condition as now. This, almost wholly, is due to the general advance of prohibition and prohibition sentiment throughout the country and legislation, accomplished and prospective, by Congress against the manu facture and sale of liquors. Commenting on the outlook for the hop Industry in this state, a local dealer said yesterday: . fc "To tell tbe plain trtith. there is no hop market. The prices that are being quoted from time to time are purely nominal and they mean but little. Business in our lice is so completely upset that we hardly.know where we are or how to proceed. "As everybody knows, the states, one by one, are lining up for prohibition, and there is little room -for doubt that through their action nation-wide prohibition, soon or late, will come. On top of this, to make matters still more difficult and uncertain tor us. Congress Is taking a hand In the matter and endeavoring to get a bill through to halt the manufacture and sale of all kinds of liquors immediately . as a w,ar measure, Independently of the action of th states. "The chances are that a measure provld Ing for National prohibition during the period of the war will be put through both houses before the end of the year. The President, of course, may veto that measure, If It is put up to him, for it is well known that he is opposed to having any prohibl tion provision attached to an agricultural appropriation bill and believes that the regu lation of the liquor traffic now may, with safety, be left to the states. And, again, he may not veto it; so there you are. "Another difficulty that has developed, and one that naturally hits the hop Indus try, is the action taken by the Fuel Ad ministration in cutting down the allowance of coal to the brewers of the country 30 per cent. The brewer's problem, in a large measure, also Is the hop-grower's problem, and as matters now are going the outlook is a far from favorable one for the men who have millions Invested in the two In dustries. "Hop-picking In California ordinarily be gins about August 10 and in this stats around September 1. but this" year the grow ers don't know whether to go ahead add gather their crops or not. so dubious is the market outlook. The question of financing tbe gathering of the crop in itself Is a seri ous one. for the banks now are far from willing to advance money for the care of a crop whose value is altogether conjectural. Local dealers are quoting prices around 10 cents, but declare there is nothing doing, and it seems that no effort is being made in any quarter to put any business through. It is reported that a few small lots of 1017s were disposed of recently at prices around 10 cents for which a year ago as high as 40 cents was offered.

In a statement issued yesterday. Chairman Frank J. Miller, of the Oregon Publio Serv ice Commission, announced that Astoria's port officials this year expect shipments of grain aggregating 2,500,000 bushels, and the prediction la made that this will mark tbe beginning of the diversion of grain ship ments from Puget Sound to the Columbia River. At the same time he announced that a grln 'lnepection bureau la to be established at Astoria. In his statement Mr. Miller says: "With a view of diverting grain ship ments from Puget Sound ports to the Colum bia River. Astoria haa lust completed an elevator with a capacity of 1,000.000 bushels and has wharflng facilities for 600,000 bush els In sacka The port officials inform me that they have received assurances from grain dealers that 2.500.000 bushels of grain will be received at the port from the grain country adjacent to the Columbia River this season, and in my opinion it marks the be ginning of the shipment of grain down the Columbia insteaa oz over tne mountains to Puget Sound porta Heretofore the Port of Astoria baa had practically no facllltlea for handling grain shipments. "The new elevator will be opened August 13, and by then the grain Inspection bureau, which the commission will furnish the port. will have been established and ready for buslnesa The bureau will be put in charge of an experienced grain man as chief deputy and be will obtain the necessary expert grain samplers and graders. The grain In spection department of tbe commission Is oDaratlng on a fee basis, and I am satis. fled the fees of tbe Astoria bureau will be sufficient to defray Its expenses. If there la any deficit at the end of the season Astoria will reimburse the commission, its officials having offered to do that." CHICAGO, Aug. 1.
