A. M. SCOTT GIVES VIEW
WATERFRONT HAS HOLIDAY
VESSELS ARE TIED UP AMI
CREWS EXJOT DINNERS.
Pacific Steamship Company Pre
sents Every Employe With Tur
key; Managers Remembered.
Tlie spirit of Christmas took charge
of the Portland waterfront yesterday
and brought business to a standstill
as effectually, though more pleas
antly, than the cold spell and snow
storm did a short time ago. Not a
vessel moved in the harbor during
the daylight hours, and offices of all
shipping companies were closed.
Real Christmas dinners, with tur
keys and all the trimmings, were
served to the crews of all the steam
ers in port, and this celebration
amounted to the feeding of full crews
of five big steamers by the Pacific
Steamship company. Every employe
of this company, from the office boy
to the agent, received a turkey
Wednesday to take home for dinner
yesterday.
The steamer City of Topeka. which
left here Wednesday and celebrated
yesterdav at North Bend and Marsh -
field, went out of this port with
Christmas trees lashed to the mast
heads, and other vessels were arrayed
in greens and streamers.
In the offices of the emergency
fleet corporation Christmas was ob
served Wednesday. C. O. Yoakum
district manager of the sales and
supply division, was the recipient of
huge bunch of flowers from mem
bers of his office force. The wood
ship construction division had a
Christmas tree Wednesday afternoon,
and presents, hitting at the pet
foibles of each member of the force,
were distributed.
L. J. Wentworth, district manager,
received a model wood ship, "with
the compliments of the Seattle dis
trict." J. W. Hall, assistant man
ager, received a lo-cent watch to en
able him to tell shipbuilders when
their contract time had expired. Cap
tain J. II. Piltz, noted for his opera
tions against the "wobblies," received
candy six-shooter. C. L. Reed of
the drafting room, who has recently
become a father, was presented with
nursing bottle. Other gifts were
in the same vein.
Completion of Emergency Board
Ships Must Be Awaited, Says
Aid to Max it. Houser.
Though the control by the United
States grain corporation of the ex
port movement of wheat and flour
ended December 15, no effect of this
passing of control has yet been felt
in the commerce of Portland, and
probably will not be felt, according
to A. M. Scott, executive assistant to
Max H. Houser, vice-president of the
grain corporation, until the last of
the emergency fleet vessels built here
has sailed for New York and Europe
with a cargo of flour.
Remaining flour carriers for De
cember are the steamers Diablo and
Manham, both now loading at Port
land. It is a significant fact that
neither of these vessels was built
here. The Diablo came here from
San Francisco and the Manham from
Seattle. If ships are to be sent here
from other Pacific ports In this man
ner to take cargoes from Portland,
the control of the grain .corporation
over flour shipments will continue
to be felt until the last of the ship
ping board vessels has sailed from
this coast.
January Snlllntrs Slaated.
Sailings scheduled for January in
clude the steamer Siletz, which is
now undergoing repairs and will be
ready for loading again within a
week, the West Hassayampa, being
outfitted by the Columbia River
Shipbuilding corporation for Decem
ber delivery, and the steamers Aber-
:os and Fawlet awaiting launching
in the Vancouver yard of the G. M.
Standlfer Construction corporation.
With the sailing of these vessels.
but one shipping board vessel will
remain for Portland loading, the
steamer Bearport, the last of the ten
steel ships contracted for bj the
government from the Standlfer com
pany. The Bearport will probably
be delivered some time in February.
Rise In Kates Gipeetrd.
Under an arrangement between the
two government concerns, the fleet
comporation and the grain corpora
tion, flour has been carried from this
coast to New York at a much lower
rate than that which can be offered
by private operators. It is considered
duobtful that the fleet corporation
will continue this low rate after the
building programme on the Pacific
coast has been completed. The low
rate was made by the fleet corpora
tion to aid in the movement of steel
vessels from this coast to the At
lantic, where they are said to be
urgently needed for the movement of
food to Europe. An entirely dif
ferent situation will confront the
shipping board when vesesls must be
sent from the Atlantic to load here,
and It has been expected that the
old low rate will no longer apply
under these conditions.

tank steamer J. A. Chanslor, the
tanker W. S. Porter, owned by the
Associated Oil company, arrived at
Astoria yesterday morning and start
ed up the river for Portland, reaching
her berth at Linnton last night. The
Porter has been In the coastwise serv
ice of the Associated Oil company
for many years, but has not called at

of this port were supplied by the
Chanslor and the tanker William F.
Herrin.
After discharging her oil cargb
here the W. S. Porter will tow the
sailing tank ship Falls of Clyde to
San Francisco from Astoria. Local
officials of the Associated Oil com

A systematic, business-like means of organizing the

operative total, ample to create the desired improve
ments, is furnished through the facilities of a de
pendable investment banking institution.
