TAKE Oil FULL CARGO
Western Belle in Readiness
for Endurance Trip.
PIONEER BARK IS RECALLED
i-vcpy Jt-ITort ow Being Made to
Deliver Six Steel Vessels to
. Xatloa Daring Xorembcr.
There moved yesterday from the
plmnt of the Columbia River Shipbuild
ing Corporation to the Crown mill the
new 8800-ton steel freighter Western
Bella, a stately specimen of the mod
ern steel carriers being; fashioned by
Portland builders, and to many she
not only appears aa a new ship but.
as well, the name has been assumed
to be one selected at random by Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, wife of the Presi
dent, with which to christen the car
rier. Tet the Western Belle, or rather the
first ship of the name, which also I
claimed Portland aa her hailing- port,
was afloat as early as 1876. and though
built at Bath. Me, and a bark Instead
of a steamer, was owned by Port
landers, having; been built for R. R.
Thompson. S. G. Reed. Henry Falling
and M. S. BurrelL all pioneers. Asso
ciated with them was Captain W. H.
Besse. of Bath. There are some old-
timers who have recalled the career
of the bark Western Belle since the
launching; of the new Western Belle
September 28.
The new msel Is to so forth on her
trial trip with a full cargo of flour,
the first of the steel fleet turned out
here to go on her Initial official run
fully loaded. It la estimated that she
will have aboard 7000 tons at least.
The West Kyska. which will be finally
Inspected today and is to be delivered
to the Navy, also loads a full cargo
of flour for her trial spin.
Heretofore the 8S00-ton carriers have
been taken to sea for their endurance
runs with only partial cargoes, the
first few with about 1500 tons and
that was increased on some later until
3000 tons was regarded proper ballast
to show off the best speed and sea
qualities of the steamers.
Every effort Is being exerted to de
liver six finished steel vessels at Port
land during November and it is re
garded a safe estimate that there will
be five of the iron boats ready, wilh
a good chance that the full half dozen
.will bo declared completed.

A cablegram glvinr the names of
nine members of a boat's crew of the
lost steamer Dumaru. destroyed by
lightning near Guam while on a voy
age to Manila a few weeks ago. has
been received at the local office of
Sudden A ChristenSen, charterers of

The men composed the occupants of
the second boat to be picked up, and
they have been landed on the east

in the boat were:

BUILDERS ARE NOT TO BLAME
Captain Blain Says Committee at
San Francisco Will Be Fair.
Other than that some caulking has
not been of the highest standard, which
is attributed to inexperience of men
- first Introduced to the work, there are
no unfavorable- features regarding wood
ships now under investigation at Fan
Francisco that can reflect on the build
ers, says Captain J. F. Blain, in charge
of wood ship construction in Washing
ton for the Emergency Fleet Corpo
ration and who directs steel ship work
in the Northwest as well.
Captain Blain was at San Francisco
last week and conferred with a com
mittee appointed at the suggestion of
John H. Rosseter, director of the Bu
rcau of Operation, lie says the mem
bers of the committee, for the most
part, are experienced builders and mar
lners, so Is satisfied their conclusions
will be dependable and that no critl
cisra will be directed against yards
turning out tho ships unless merited.
On the Other hand, others hold that
much of the trouble has been due to
equipment placed In the vessels, so it Is
not the fault of the builders.

Captain Speler Making Sailors Out
of Soldiers.
Making sailors out of soldiers is part
of the task assigned Captain Jack
Fpeler. former harbormaster of Port
" land, now with the 406th Engineers at
Fort Douglas, Utah. That is, they are
to-be made familiar with some of the
Jobs of sailormen. such as knotting and
splicing rope and other things calcu
lated to be of assistance In duties as
stevedores.
Captain Speler has written that. In a
comparison between the Police Depart
ment of Fort Douglas and that of Port
land the latter suffers nothing, and he
cays there Is decidedly more ginger and
"pep" In the Portland officers than Is
found in the Utah organization. He has
recovered from a recent attack of in
fluenza and. because of the fact a num
ber of troops were moved from Fort
Douglas soon after he reported for
duty. It fell to his lot to be the rank
ing officer for a time, the post com
mander being a Lieutenant.

Japanese Mining Head Predicts Big
Things for Pacific Coast.
The development of commerce and
Industry In the countries bordering on
the Pacific Ocean will grow to an undreamed-of
magnitude within the next
15 years, says Petseyo Kosugl, repre
sentative of the Kuhara Mining Com
pany, of Osaka, Japan, who is in Port
land. Mr. Kosugl was last in Portland 28
years ago, and he remarked upon the
wonderful growth of the city. The
Kuhara company Is the largest factor
In Japan, and controls the steel yards
In Kiobe. besides operating steamers
to the Orient. There Is some possibil
ity of a boat line to Portland, although
there are no definite plans at present.

Food Shortage in Europe Brought

CHICAGO. Nov. IS. Attention to the
urgent -need of removing the food shortage
In Europe had a decided bullish effect today
on corn. The market closed strong. 3c to 4a
net hirtfer, with December 11.21 to
and January $1.22s to Sl.Ca1. Oata
finished fee to 1VC up.and provisions rang'
ing from loo off to $1 advance.
belling on the part of leading commission
houses led to some weakness at the opening.
but had only a transient Influence.
Word that six steamers would be loaded
with oats for export from Baltimore gave
tome independent strength to the oats mar
ket.
Provisions received general upward Impetus
from advices that the December average
price on hogs would be the same as durlug
November.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
CORN.
The hop market Is climbing up fast. It
received its first impetus when peace came
reasonably within sight, and now that hos
tilities have ceased it has gained added
strength. This was to be expected, as it
was the war more than anything else which
depressed the Industry.
The market is today oa a 25-cent basis.
with good prospects of going to 30 cents
before the month Is ended. Several deals
at 25 cents have been closed In this state
and also In Washington and California. The
volume of business appears to be limited
only by the refusal of many growers to
accept the price offered today.
Among tho 25-cent deals In Oregon was
the Belli Back estate crop of 139 bales, at
Hopmere. bought by Julius Pincus. In West
ern Washington the Lead man and Roguski
lots, aggregating 250 bales, brought this
price. California advices were that 210
bales of Sonoma hops were also sold at
23 cents. Sales of 1017 Oregon have also
been announced at a price about two cents
under that current for the now crop.
A large part of the buying in the Coast
states has been done by exporters, but signs
are also not lacking that American brewers
are laying In supplies. From this it would
seem that domestic brewers are anticipating
an early removal or modification of brew
ing restrictions, which were Imposed by the
Fuel and Food administrations. The English
trade is concerned chiefly with the shipping
question. Whether or not the hops can be
moved abroad promptly, they aro con
sidered valuable property In view of the
vent small stocks that exist on the other
side. One English buyer in America Is re
puted to hold enough hops to make up 1
full steamer cargo.
Interest Is not confined entirely to spot
hops. There Is a keen demand for next
year's growth and 20 cents has been paid
in Oregon on contract with other dealerr
freely offering this price.
Extra fancy Winesaps and Jonathans were
a little firmer at a general range of S 1.900
2.20 per box f. o. b. Northwestern shipping
points, and held about steady at $2.75 3 in
consuming markets. Shipments were slightly
Labove the recent average.

Break General Isist Is Irregu

NEW YORK. Nov. 15. Conflicting opfn
ions in high quarters respecting the forth
coming period of reconstruction left their
further impression on the stock market to
day, the movement of prices being de
cidedly Irregular most of the session.
The course of several market leaders was
traceable, however, to mora immediate
causes. -Marine preferred registered an ex
treme decline of almost 10 points on ac
count of further delay in the sale ofthe
company's British tonnage, rallying
points later. In point of activity Marines
were almost aa prominent as United States
ateel, but steel shook off some of its
recent heaviness, holding all its 2 H -point ad
vance. Independent steels, including the war
division, were 2 to 6 points higher.
Coppers denoted the further uncertainty of
the War Board's action as to new price
schedules, out motors, especially low-priced
issues, strengthened in anticipation of the
removal ox tne uovernment s embargo.
Bonds were heavy on the 2 4 per cent re
action in Marine 6a Foreign Issues also
easted with, the liberty division. Total sales,
par value, aggregated $9,;i00,000. Old United
states bonds were unchanged on call.

Weather conditions in the Middle West
as wired from Chicago: "Minneapolis, light
rain, 54; Winnipeg, Chicago, foggy, cool;
Peoria, Duluth, Topeka, cloudy, cool; St.
Louis, Kansas City, misting; Hutchinson,
raining; Omaha, part cloudy."
The California state crop report estimates
tho corn yield per acre at 35 bushels, a
year ago 32 bushels; production. 2,660,000
bushels versus 2,400,00a bushels a year ago;
quality, 83 per cent versus 92 per cent;
stock on hand November 1, 1 per cent versus
0.1 per cent a year ago. The corn crop
has been growing in favor in recent years.
It Is more noticeable since the value of
silos has been proved. It Is worthy to note
that the percentago of crop cut for en
silage is now 53 per cent as compared with
4S per cent last year.
A Liverpool cable says: "Corn stocks re
main small and only limited quantities are
being released. Arrivals moderate. Con
sumptive demand Is keen anl any offerings
are quickly taken up. It Is apparent that
there Is little likelihood of any Immediate
Improvement in supplies In the near future,
as shipments from America have been run
ning dlscouragingly small and clearances
from the Argentine, although fair, have de
creased lately. Total quantities as a whole
can only be regarded as moderate. Demand

The Food Administration announces that
after, consultation with the sub-committee.
Agricultural Advisory Board and the special
swine producers' representatives and with
the packers. It has been arraneed that the
November price basis for .hogs shall con
tinue through December. It is highly de
sirable that the lighter weight hogs be held
oack ror the next .10 days. If withheld at
this time the possibility ot breaking down
present prlco levels because of excessive re
ceipts of lighter hogs will be averted. All
available hog products that can .be spared
will be required for foreign shipment in
December and January and thereafter.
Hog production in Utah has . received a
boost in recent months becausetsmali farm
ers, especially those removed some dis
tance from railroad facilities, huvo been able
to get their hogs to market at greatly re
