FAIRLY CLEAR Rose City and Curacao Get In After Following Path Cot by Al gonquin In Ice. Ied by the coast sruard cutter Al gonquin, the passenirer uteamers Rose City and Curacao, which left up from Astoria Tuesday mornlnfr, smashed their wu througrh the tea blockade ft tne Columbia river yesterday and readied their docks In Portland short ly after noon. The Alfronquinjs rest ing from her efforts at the North Hank dock and will go down the river apain tooay. Three cil tankers and a steel freighter started down the river from Portland yesterday, but were not ex pected to reach Astoria before to n'tfht. They are the tankers Oleum. J. A. Chanslor and Washtenaw and the steamer Centaurus of the Green Star line. CnHtr Rrenkn Way. Acroftiinsr to Captains MacGenn of the Rose City and Tibbetts of the Curacao and the pilots who maneu vered the two passengrer ships through the ice, the trip up the river would have been impossible without the Alsorquln fn the lead to break the Ice Although little Ice remains in the Willamette except near Its mouth, they say, the Columbia was frozen over as solidly as ever, with a (Oieet of smooth Ice from 4 to 6 Inches in. thickness covering the en tire surface of the river from Goble to the mouth of the Willamette. The or,ly open water, they said. Is the cut made by the Algronquin, and the sh.ps which followed her up yes terday, and this brak In the Ice Is litle broader than the width of a ship. The Alercnquin cut a narrow furrow throuph the ice, throwing: it to each side. This breach was widened by the Rose Citv as she pushed through, and the Curacao, following behind the Rose City, had only floating Ice to contend with. lntnt on lee Marks Path. Captain Fred Tibbetts, master of the Curacao, remarked facetiously on the completion of the voyage that althouprh all the aids to navigation hae been extinguished, the channel can be followed easily by the red paint rubbed off the sides of the ships that have passed through the ice bergs. Captain Stromberg. commander of the Algonquin, In the absence of Cap tain Wiley. Is hailed by the Columbia river pilots as the savior of naviga tion in the river. Though unfamiliar with the stream and unaccompanied by a pilot. Captain Ptromberg, going only by his charts and Foundings, broke a channel through the ice in the place where the channel belongs. This feat alone Is heralded by the pilots as a notable achievement. Tn addition to his services as a trail-breaker. Captain Stromberg air.o within the past few days has rescued the steamer Nishmaha when she was helpless at sea because of a machinery breakdown, and cut out of the ice the steamers Manham pnd Brook wood, and th oil tinker W.;ll iam F. llerrin. which were frozen fast In the ice and could not have escaped without his assistance. -("! Trouble IVovr Expected. With a passage now clearly cut through the frozen Columbia, mari ners expect little difficulty In navi gating the river, unless another freeze occurs. Enough vessels are passing up and down, they believe, to keep the channel clear of ice. With the barometer steadily rising last night, however, weather prophets of tne waterfront last night were predicting a second cold spell, though their fears found no confirmation in the forecast of the weather bureau. Portland harbor yesterday was practically clear of Ice in the west channel around Ross island and as far 3own as municipal dock No. 1. Fast of the island, however, and be low the Fifteenth-street terminal the ice was still floating In a fairly solid formation. The obstruction was of fio consequence to ateel vessels, but was declared still unsafe for wooden ships. rXSIXKABLE SHIP DESIGNED John Dutliie Makes Many Claims for New Type Vessel. ' That he has designed a ship aloag the lines now used in shipbuilding which Is 10 fer cent cheaper to build, 20 per cent more economical of op eration and aDout 500 per cent safer because it is unsinkable, is the claim of John Duthie of 648 Belmont street. a retired shipbuilder. - Sir. Duthie claims for a steel vessel of his design that S00 feet of plates can be torn from either or both Bides without causing the vessel to sink or lose her trim, and that 300 feet of bottom can be torn out without allowing the vessel to settle more than five feet in the water. He is now endeavoring to secure a patent on his design. JAPANESE RATES DECREASE Added,' Shipping Facilities Send Cargo Charges Down. TOKIO, Nov. 30. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Cargo rates for North American ports have fallen owing to increased shipping facilities. Shipbuilders or charterers of the new steamers built for the United States shipping board are said to be having difficulty in obtaining suffi cient cargo. The tendency of shippers is to defer shipments in anticipation of further declines in rates. The run to India continues active, due to increased exports of matches, cement and other cargoes.

The situation is so serious that we have no other recourse but to ask the generous co-operation of the public, the merchants and the drivers of all classes of vehicles. In view of the fact that so few streets paralleling our car lines have been opened up, all other forms of vehicle traffic use our car tracks causing blockades, delays, congestion and great inconvenience to everybody. The storm brought this condition about, and we are powerless to do anything without the co-operation of vehicle drivers. During the heavy rush hours in the evening this situation becomes almost intolerable. Will You Help Us? In addition to blockades and congestion, our service is tremen dously impeded by the practice of late shopping. The unprecedented throngs of Christmas shoppers are for the most part delaying their journey home till the climax, of the evening rush, when general business is suspended and tens of -thousands of . workers are struggling to get on the cars.
