CDASTWISESHIPPING
HELD LOSING GAME
Steamer on Run Offered for
Sale for $1, in Vain.
LABOR HOLDUP DRAWBACK
Facific Steamship Co. Head Says
Demands of Radicals Have
Reached Breaking: Point.
Tn these times of high prices and
scarcity of shipping, when it is cus
tomary to hear of fabulous prices
paid for vessels, the announcement
that a perfectly good vessel has been
offered for sale at the price of $1
comes as a distinct shock. It may
further tax the credulity of many to
believe that the prospective pur
chasers refused the vessel at this
price, yet these are the facts as nar
rated by A. F. Haynes, vice-president
and general manager of the Pacific
Steamship company, on a recent visit
to Portland.
"The vessel is in first-class condi
tion in . every respect," said Mr.
Haynes, "and has been in continuous
operation for a number of years, and
yet the prospective purchaser refused
to buy it for 1. The reason for his
refusal is as startling as the refusal
itself. After figuring the cost of op
eration and overhead of this vessel
in relation to revenue, he discovered
that, if he paid Jl for her, he would
lose thousands of dollars a year on
his investment. The high cost of
fuel, supplies and repairs, capped by
the prohibitive and confiscatory de
mands of labor, has brought ' about
euch a condition that the vessel can
be operated only at a loss.
Vessel to Stay on Ran.
"When the steamer was offered for
eale, the stipulation was made that
ehe continue to operate in her pres
ent coastwise route for a etated in
terval. This was the only stipula
tion. This steamship has been op
erating at a loss to the Admiral line
for a number of months, but ehe is
not the only one of the company'e
coastwise fleet which is losing money.
"The fact is that the coastwise
business today is a losing game.
"Whenever our steamships operate
which is at such times as the bol
shevik minority in control of labor
will permit they are loaded to ca
pacity with freight and passengers.
To the layman's mind this would in
dicate that the company is making
money. The fact is, however that we
are losing money.
."The demands of radical labor have
reached, the breaking point with us,
as with many other industries
throughout the United States. Our
backs are to the wall. We can make
no more concessions under existing
conditions.
Two Fast Ships Planned.
"A year ago, in view of the heavy
coastwise freight and passenger traf
fic, we were hopeful that the end of
the war would mean the return of
conditions to normal, and we had
plans drawn for two large and fast
passengers liners which would fill
every need of the traveling and ship
ping public.
"In our files today we have the
blueprints and details all complete
for the building of these splendid
steamers. It was our original inten
tion to rush these liners through to
rapid completion, but the revolution
ary tendency within the ranks of
labor have sent these plans to our
files, and in our files they will stay
until there has been an unequivocal
decision on the part of the people of
the United States whether the gov
ernment of Washington and Lincoln
Is to continue under the Stars and
Stripes, or whether the red flag is to
fly at our mastheads and chaos be
our only form of government.
Aa-itatorn In Control.
"After all is said and done, the
only question at issue today has to
do with our form of government. The
handful of I. W. W. agitators who
have succeeded in securing control of
various labor union locals are not
seeking to raise wages or improve
working conditions.
"They seek to confiscate property
and overturn our government. They
offer nothing constructive. It is all
destructive. For the good of the
workingmen themselves who honest
ly seek to better their condition and
that of their families, any strike de
clared with confiscatory and revolu
tionary intent must fail. The employe
and employer alike must see that it
fails."
JAP IilXER MAKES LOXG TRIP
Sumatra Maru Travels Distance
Nearly Equal to That of Earth.
TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 20. (Special.)
The O. S. K. liner Sumatra Maru,
Captain H. Hyeda, after a trip which

freight for Japan here yesterday and
replenished her bunkers. She left
Kobe last February.
After Captain Uyeda sailed around
the cape of South America and headed
for Rotterdam, Holland, he discharged

from Balboa to Tacoma took 20 days,
much delay being caused by the heavy
fog off the California coast.

CENSUS TAKERS HEEDED
LOCAL EXAMIXATIOX POST
PONED TO OCT. 30.
Supervisor Says Clerks With Ex
perience "Will Be Able to
Earn $6 to $8 Daily.
On account of the scarcity of people
willing to act as census takers In
January, it will be necessary to post
pone the local examination for these
workers until October 30, after which
date no further applications will be
received. In other cities, those de
siring positions must register before
October 15.
Thus far only about 60 per cent
of the Portland applicants will be
able to qualify. People with business
experience are desired those who
write a clear hand and work reason
ably fast. William D. Bennett, super
visor of the census for this district,
said yesterday that he believes this
an excellent opportunity for ex
school teachers, county and city office
employes and members of election
boards to make a little pin money if
they are not otherwise occupied. A
speedy worker can earn from $6 to
$8 daily, as he receives a stated
amount for each name.
About 300 solicitors will be ap
pointed, 250 to be active and 50 as
substitutes.
Despite the rule to give preference
to soldiers and sailors and their de
pendants, only about ten have taken
advantage of the offer In Portland.
Any man or woman between the ages
of 18 and 70 is eligible to handle the
work if he can pass the examination
prescribed by. the government. The
office of supervisor for this district
is in the Fenton building..

ALBINA FERRY MAY
BE PUT ON NEW RUN
Service Likely to Be Moved
Further North.
LANDING SITES SOUGHT
Committee Named by ,County Com
missioners to Consider Re
Kouting Plan.
The Albina ferry will be placed on
a new run, crossing the river fur
ther north, so that the Broadway
bridge will no longer neutralise its
usefulness, the county commission
ers Indicated at a meeting yesterday.
A committee consisting of Chris Min
slnger, J. V. -Beach, Henry Barend-
rick and A. W. Barendrick was ap
pointed to consult with C. B. Hegardt,
engineer for the dock commission,
and to report back Wednesday on
suitable locations for new ferry slips.
A ferry guided by a cable will not
be used because of the interference
with river traffic and danger on
foggy days, agreed the commission
ers, though this may mean a gen
eral change, with a ferry scheduled to
be sold being placed back in commis
sion for the Albina run and the
switching of the Albina ferry to the
St. Johns run, following the probable
condemnation of the vessel now op
erating there. The Sellwood ferry
would remain in commission.
Landing; to Be Abolished.
As the -Port of Portland intends
building a new dock between Mu
nicipal dock No. 1 and the Willamette
Iron & Steel company plant where
an Albina ferry slip now stands, that
landing must be do te away with.
There appear to be only two other
places available on the west side
one at the wharfage of the Emerson
Hardwood company, the other at the
foot of Fourteenth street.
The present ferry slip at the east
side of the river, which was used by
the Albina Engine & Machine works
during the war for shipbuilding pur
poses, will be given tj the county by
the city if it is desired to retain it.
but A. O. Anderson has asked its use
for commercial purposes. The ques
tion the committee is asked to decide
concerning this -side of the river is
whether the old landing should be
used or a new one constructed. The
most available place for a new slip
reported was at the south end of
Montgomery dock No. 2.
Lieutenant H. A. Lewis, traffic of
ficer for the city, reported to the
county commissioners that the 1919
motor vehicle law apparently gave
them the authority to police the
bridges and regulate traffic on them,
instead of the city commissioners.
Guards on Bridges Urged.
Lewis recommended placing a dep
uty sheriff at each approach of the
Burnside and Morrison budges to see
that no auto trucks of more than two
tons capacity crossed, unless equipped
with pneumatic tires, that street cars
not be permitted t- run closer than
100 feet apart, and that when wait
ing for draws street cars be so dis
tributed that there be not more than
one on any one span of the bridge.
As there was a question as to
whether or not the new traffic laws
applied to bridges already built, the
matter was referred by the commis
sioners to District Attorney Evans
for decision and to Sheriff Hurlburt
for the drafting of regulations should
it be decided that the policing should
be done by the county. They were
asked to report back to the commis
sioners Wednesday.
The city was requested October 14.
1918, to regulate traffic on the
bridges, at a time when the author
ity lay with the city, following sev
eral court cases which were dis
missed because of arrests by county
officers on the bridges, but had never
complied with the request.
BOHEMIAN QUARTER GOING
Old Montmartre of Pre-War Days
Fast Disappearing.
LONDON. Robert Dell, in the Man
chester Guardian, remarks that one
of the Paris papers recounted the
other day that a woman, who had
once been an art student in Paris,
was inquiring recently of the host of
a little Bohemian cafe, which we will
call the Festive Hare, about the
whereabouts of some of the old
habitues. "And where is So-and-So?"
she asked. "Out there," replied
the host, jerking his thumb toward
the old Montmartre cemetery.
The reply was characteristic of
Frede" 1 adhere to the local spell
ing of the only name by which any
body has ever known him. Nobody
would think, to look at him, that he
could possibly answer to so familiar
a name.
He is a dignified person with a long
beard, who looks, I have been told,
much older than he really is. Ho
plays the 'cello with intense sincerity
and earnestness, if not perhaps with
complete technical accomplishment;
the rites of Saturday night at the
Festive Hare would not have been
duly celebrated without a 'cello sqlo
by Frede. Sometimes there were sev
eral, for when Frede once sat down to
his instrument he did not easily rise
again.
The Festive Hare is a little) coun
try inn dating from the days when
Montmartre was a little town or large
village outside Paris. When I first
knew Paris the street in which it
stands was still a street of country
cottages like itself. Several of the
windmills then survived on land now
covered with new streets and huge
blocks of flats. Now the blocks of I
flats have Invaded even the street of
the Festive Hare an old and historic
street which stands among them
crushed and forlorn.
A famous Montmartre singer of for
mer days bought it and saved it from
destruction. All the Montmartre
windmills have gone, except the Mou
lin de Galette, which is registered as
an historical monument. The Place
des Tertes is intact the typical market-place
of a little country town
but it will go. too, unless its houses
also are registered. Close by the Fes
tive Hare is the site whereon stood
the country house of La Belle Ga
brielle in the days when Parisians
went up on the hill to get the coun
try air.
Saturday was once a great night at
the Festive Hare. There gathered
the painters, the poets, the singers,
the models and the "rapins" of Mont
martre. It was almost a club; "treat
ing," except, of course, on the part
of a" man to a lady, was banned in
anticipation of Dora. The painters
were represented on the walls. The
poets recited their own verses and the
singers -sang their own songs. In
neither case were they always mas
terpieces. To tell the honest truth,
there were always a good proportion
of "rates" at the Saturday nights of
the Festive Hare. It was their one
chance of making themselves heard
and the audience was tolerant. But
its frequenters were by no means all
failures. Albert Truchet, that bril-'
liant colorist and charming personal
ity, who died last year at a compara
tively early age, was, for example, at
one time a fitful attendant. How many
of the younger pre-war habitues left
Montmartre in August. 1914. never to
return! The war has wrought havoc
in French art and letters.
Before the war the Saturdays of
the Festive Hare had already begun
to decline. They were more and more
left to the "rates." with a sprinkling
of young gentlemen who almost de
served the title of "apaches." A trag
edy did the place some harm. In the
small hours of one summer morning,
when everybody was gone. Frede's
only son was shot dead by a man
who was never caught. And on sev
eral successive days before the occur
rence an inscription threatening ven
geance had appeared on the wall op
posite the cafe. But the "rates" are
often quite agreeable.
I remember one hot summer night
when a poet who had been spouting
his verses to me, no doubt because 1
was a new acquaintance, proposed a
walk round Montmartre. We went
up to the steps of the Sacre Couer
and looked down on Paris bathed in
the summer moonlight, which touched
with silver the domes of the Pan
theon, the Institute and the Invalides,
the spires and towers of Notre Dame.
St. Sulpice and the Saints Chapelle.
My companion was quite an intelli
gent fellow; his chief failing was an
obstinate determination to be a poet.
Somewhere between 1 and 2 o'clock
in the morning we went back to the
Festive Hare, where we found Frede
in a state of tipsy loquacity, engaged
in painting the railings of the little
front garden. He began .discussing
the philosophy of Nietzsche, of whom
he professed himself a great admirer,
chiefly, as I gathered, on account of
the famous advice not to forget the
whip when you go to see a woman.
When I next saw him he reminded
me of the conversation, adding with
cool effrontery: "We always talk
philosophy when we're tipsy, don't
we?"
The Saturdays of the Festive Hare
closed cafes at impossibly early hours.
Besides, there was nobody to go to
them. I do not know whether they
have been revived now that cafes can
remain open until 11 o'clock an
Vly enough hour as we counted
things before the war. But I am sure
that they can never again be what
they once were. Nothing in life can
ever be the same again.

GOVERNMENT WILL
RESUME WOOL SALE
Portland Auction to Be Held;
on November 6.
LARGE SUPPLY AVAILABLE
About 1,100,000 Pounds of Grease
and Scoured Wools Will Be Of
fered Sale Also at Boston.
The government has decided to hold
another auction sale of 1918 wools In
Portland. It will take place on November
6. A week later a quantity of Portland
stored wools will be sold at Boston. These
two sales. It la expected, will clean up all
the holdings of government-owned wool
in Portland warehouses.
Charles H. Green, United States wool
administrator, yesterday sent out the fol
lowing notice to manufacturers in the
northwest:
"At 1:30 P. M.. Thursday. November 6.
1919, the government wool administrator
will offer for sale at public auction at ths
Columbia Basin warehouse. Twelfth and
Davis streets, Portland, about 1.0O0.0O0
pounds of grease wools and 100,000 pounds
of scoured wools, all grades Oregon and
California.
"Catalogues will be mailed in about 10
days."
The Boston sale of Portland wool will
be held on November 12 and about 475.
000 pounds of all grades will be offered.
There have been no government sales since
the beginning of summer, except of car
pet wools, and the Portland auction will
mark the beginning of the winter series.
The first Boston sales start on November
10 and will continue four days, when be
tween 20,000,000 and 25,000.000 pounds will
be offered In a representative selection.
The government still owns 134.003.193
pounds of wool, of which about 2,500.000
pounds Is carpet wool. The carpet wool
will soon be offered and It is planned to
move the clothing wbols at the rate of
about 20,000,000 pounds monthly. The
government has offered for sale 435,635,-
832 pounds of which 321.486,325 pounds
.were sold up to September 3 and with
drawals amounted to 133.264,444 pounds.
The limits placed on the wool to be
offered at the coming sales, it is reported,
will on the whole be lower than the prices
set up by the government as the minimum
selling price. Probably some types of
wool will be changed very little, although
the lower grades will undoubtedly be lower
priced. In order to meet the general
world conditions prevailing in the medium
to low grade wools.

LARCE STOCKS HKI.D IX STORAGE
More Batter, Eggs and Cheese on Hand
Than Year Ago.
The government figures on storage hold
ings of butter, eggs and cheese In the
United States received yesterday caused
some apprehension on the part of the
trade In view of the large surplus re
vealed, but it Is pointed out that compar
ison is made with a year a'go, when stocks
were much smaller than at the same
period than in previous years. The hold
ings of butter on October 1. 1910, were
83,910,000 pounds greater than on the
same date last year. Ess stocks in
creased 1.512,000 ces. while cheese shows
a gain in holdings of 37,939,000 cases. It
Is expected that these statistics will op
erate against any further advance in these
commodities.
Withdrawal of eggs from local storage
has been disappointing to holders. The
trade has bren supplied chiefly with east
ern eggs, supplies of which are still ample.
Kecelpts of oregons are light and prices
are unchanged.
The butter market was steady y ester
