3 FLOUR CARRIERS
SENT TO PORTLAND
Duquesne, Marica, Aniwa to
Take Big Cargoes.
VESSELS ARE DIVERTED
Shipping Board Steamer and Army
Troop Ship May Arrive Here
Within Ten Days.
As the first step in a vessel move
ment that promises to constitute the
most important part of Portland's
commerce during the coming year,
the shipping board steamer Duquesne
left Honolulu January 6 for Portland
and the army troopship Marica left
there a day later, also for this port,
according to telegraphic advices re
ceived yesterday by the Merchants'
Exchange. Both of these vessels, as
well as the shipping board steamer
Aniwa. now at Honolulu, will load
full cargoes of flour here for the
Atlantic.
Bis; Cargo to Be Taken.
If the Duquesne encounters no un
usually bad weather and consumes
the usual 12 days for the passage
from Honolulu to Portland, she will
arrive here January 18, and the Aniwa
should reach here the next day. The
Aniwa is scheduled to sail from Hono
lulu for Portland January 12.
The Duquesne will be loaded by the
Pacific Steamship company and the
-Marica by the quartermaster depart
ment of the army. A local operator
for the Aniwa has not yet been
named. The Marica Is one ot the
largest vessels ever routed to Port
land harbor. She will take out be
tween 9000 and 10,000 cubic tons of
flour for a destination through the
Panama canal, either in Europe or
on the Atlantic coast of the United
States.
According to C. D. Kennedy, agent
of the division of operations of the
emergency fleet' corporation, the
movement started by these vessels is
the answer to the question of how
flour and grain are to be moved out
of Portland after all the steel vessels
built for the shipping board here
have departed. The Duquesne, Marica
and Aniwa carried coal from the
Atlantic coast to the Hawaiian
islands, will come here light and will
complete their round trips by taking
flour back to the point from which
they started. It is expected that the
bulk of the flour moving out of Port
land during 1920 will be carried by
vessels traveling in this circuit.
Four to B Delivered.
But four steel vessels remain to be
delivered to the emergency fleet cor
poration here and one of these, the
West Hassayampa, will be checked in
today by the Columbia-Pacific Ship
ping company and will start loading
Saturday morning. Only two other
teel sTiipping board vessels built here
will be available for loading flour.
They are the Pawlet and Bearport,
Boon to be launched by the G. M.
Standifer Construction corporation.
The Abercos, recently launched and
soon to be delivered by this com
pany, has been assigned for the
oriental service of the Pacific Steam
ship company. Both the Pawlet and
Bearport are expected to be delivered
before the end of February. Thus,
flour shipments after an earlv Hate
in March will be dependent entirely
on tonnage
sent here
trom other
ports.
As the flour movement last year
provided cargoes for something over
70 steel ships, it is estimated that at
least this number will have to be
diverted to Portland from other ports
to carry this year"s output.

OF
IVATERFRDWT IS PLAN
City Engineer's New Scheme
Is Comprehensive One.
CONGESTION IS SERIOUS
Plan Xow Being: Prepared for Sub
mission to Council Calls for
Sweeping- Alterations.
Establishment of railway and
steamer terminals on Front street, be
tween Stark and Morrison streets, ac
quisition of property by the city from
Glisan street to Hawthorne avenue,
transformation of Front stseet lnt
a 150-foot thoroughfare, on which six
railway tracks could be laid, with
sufficient room left for hauling pur
poses, and the construction of a con
crete sea-wall on the harbor line from
Madison to Burnside streets, are fea
tures of a plan now being' formulat
ed for presentation to tne city coun
cil by City Engineer Laurgaard.
The plan, in a nutshell, is expected
to aid in relieving- congestion in the
down-town district by taking elec
tric interurban cars from Fourth, Sal
mon and Tenth streets. leaving
Fourth as one of the principal streets
for heavy hauling.
Fire Hazard Also Considered.
The P'an s also formulated with
the idea of constructing a waterfront
which will not be considered a haz
ardous fire risk ard placing harbor
Improvements on a permanent basis.
City Engineer Laargaard claims that
present heavy fire insurance rates on
downtown property are largely due to
the many wooden structures on the
waterfront, involving a fire hazard
which cannot be removed without the
application of some general plan, such
as he id now preparing.
To carry out the idea it will be
necessary to widen bridge approaches
and bring the west end of the ap
proaches to First or Second street, so
that trains as well as vehicular traf
fic could pass under the bridges and
not interfere with light traffic pass
ing over the bridges.
Preliminary estimates, which are
purely tentative, j lace the cost of the
entire project at approximately 14.
000.000, which, if the plan when com
pleted meets with the approval of the
city council, the public dock commis
sion, the propetry owners interested,
the railroads, and the public as well.
would be obtained through a bond is
sue voted by the people.
Lease System la Proposed.
Mr. Laurgaard plans- that in the
event the scheme is finally adopted
to lease the land owned by the city
to private corporations and individ
uals and estimates that the revenue
obtained through such leases would
pay- interest on the bond issue.
Much of the property on the water
front today is ready to be con
demned," said Mr. Laurgaard yester
day. "The owners of this property
cannot obtain sufficient return on
their investments to pay interest
charges, and hence there is little
chance for rebuilding structures after
they are condemned.
Then, too, traffic conditions in the
congested area of the city present
one of the most vital problems we
have to deal with. Theroperation of
two and three-car trains on Fourth
and Tenth streets delays traffic. It
also costs the railway companies huge
sums yearly to pay for street main
tenance.
WILSON INTERESTS PARTED
Aberdeen Branch of Family Will
Keep Mill and City Property.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) A dissolution of the firm of
Wilson Brothers & Co., of Aberdeen
and San Francisco, has been effected
under which the Wilson family of
Aberdeen becomes sole owners of the
mill and other property of the com
pany in thia city, while the. San Fran
cisco Wilsons take over the steamship
line and retail yards in California.
The logging camps and timber inter
ests of the company at Independence,
Lewis county, will remain under joint
ownership.
By the dissolution of the firm the
San Francisco family transfers its in
terest in property here to the Aber
deen family and the Aberdeen family
turns over its interest in the southern
holdings, including the steamship
line.
Documents on file at Montesano
show that the Wilson mill and prop
erly holdings in Aberdeen represent
grass assets of about 1600,000.
