The Alercnquin cut a narrow furrow

Captain Fred Tibbetts, master of

the completion of the voyage that

hae been extinguished, the channel

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

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.

practically clear of Ice in the west

rXSIXKABLE SHIP DESIGNED
John Dutliie Makes Many Claims
for New Type Vessel.
' That he has designed a ship aloag

which Is 10 fer cent cheaper to build,
20 per cent more economical of op

Sir. Duthie claims for a steel vessel
of his design that S00 feet of plates

without causing the vessel to sink
or lose her trim, and that 300 feet

allowing the vessel to settle more

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.

. Never before has our Company faced such difficulties in handling
holiday traffic as it does this season.
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.
We respectfully request '
That shoppers do their buying between 9 A. LI. and 4 P. M. and

possibly can.
