BIG LOAD TO ORIENT
Wawalona and Coaxet As
sured Full Outward Cargoes
FREIGHTEES FROM ORIENT IN SLIP AT ST. JOHNS MUNICIPAL TERMINAL.
BIG VESSELS IMPRESSIVE
More Than IS, 000 Tons of Freight
to Be Mored Into and Oat of
. City 'Within Two Weeks.
More than 19,000 tons of freight
will be moved Into and out of Port
land between now and March 10 by
the two steamera Wawalona and
Coaxet. now at the St. Johns ma
niclpal terminal, which arrived gun
day night from the Orient. The com
blned inward' cargoes of the two ves
sels will total little over 3000 tons,
but full outward cargoes for both
vessels have already been booked, ac
cording to officials of the Pacific
Steamship company.
Painted with the colors of the Ad
miral line and carrying the familiar
house flag and funnel Insignia of the
line, ' the steamers Wawalona and
Coaxet presented an attractive pic
ture as they lay together at the
newly completed pier No. 1 of the St.
Johns terminal yesterday. Both ves
eels are 9600-ton products of the
O. M. Standlfer steel shipbuilding
yard at Vancouver and are of the
largest type of vessels- built here.
Since they left Portland for the
Orient their hulls have been painted
apple green, their houses white and
their stacks buff with a black tip.
Crocker Bee Copra Cargo.
With the two oriental liners at the
St. Johns terminal is the barkentine
Charles F. Crocker, which is dis
charging a cargo of copra from the
Gilbert islands. The three vessels
are lying bow to stern along the 900
foot length of the pier and show in
an impressive way that the big ter
minal is beginning to fulfill its func
tion of providing ample berthing place
for the deep sea tonnage of the port.
The last 300 feet of the pier was
completed and cleared of lncum
- brances only last week, and this is
the first time that the full pier has
been In use, or that three deep sea
vessels have been berthed there at
the same time.
When the St. Johns terminal project
Is completed, five such piers will ex
tend 900 feet into the Willamette.
Bunkers for the handling of phos
phate rock in bulk will be located on
the outward end of the fifth pier.
Pier No. 1, which is now in use, is
roofed for the housing of perishable
cargoes, while pier No. 2, which is
under construction, will be open and
will be used principally for the as
semblage of lumber cargoes.
Pkesphate te Be Handled.
Pier No. 2 will be used, according
to present plans, for the trans-shipment
of 5000 tons of phospate rock
In sacks which has been booked by
the Admiral line for shipment from
Paris, Idaho, to Japan in March and
April A plan has been devised by
O. B. Hegardt, chief engineer for the
commission of public docks, by which
the phosphate rock is to be loaded
directly into the ships from the cars
by means of a system of conveyors.
The purchase by the dock commission
of a locomotive to do the necessary
switching has already been author
ised. After discharging the cargoes which
they brought from the Orient, the
Coaxet will load for Shanghai, Hong
kong and Manila, and the Wawalona,
which has been assigned for an ex
clusive Portland-Japan service, will
load for Yokohama and Kobe only.
Because of the holiday, no work
was performed on the Wawalona and
Coaxet yesterday. The discharging
of their cargoes will begin this
morning. Both vessels are scheduled
to sail again for the far east

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 23. (Spe
cial.) The latest thing in moving picture
la the sea-coins; studio. John Wilder, ma
rina superintendent for the Crowley Launch
fc Lighterage company, announced today
that arrangements are being made to place
a complete studio aboard one of the ship
ping board barkentines, and the vessel
will be ready to clear from San Francisco
on the initial voyage in three weeks. -
A powerful electric lighting plant, dark
rooms and other equipment will be located
In the vessel's hold. Living quarters will
be Installed and the arrangement provides
that the supplies and equipment will be
sufficient to supply the needs of a large
company for at least one month.
It is planned to dramatise for the
screen two stories as an Initial experiment.
One will be by Jack London and the
other by Mitchell Lewis. Instead of de
pending upon the regulation extras picked
up at random on the beach, every person
employed with the exception of the stars
will be real sauors.
The vessel will put to sea and cruise
oat far offshore, the director hoping that
a, reai storm may materialize. The plan
Is to eliminate all of the faking frequently
done in depicting storm pictures. Wilder
said that If the experiment proves suc
etaful the vessel may then be purchased
as a part of the permanent equipment of
tbe moving picture concern.
The Oceanic liner Sonoma, Captain J.
H. Trass, which sailed from Sydney for

of th tail shafts while 600 miles off Hon
olulu. According to a wireless sent to
Honolulu, the vessel will arrive there to
night. The Sonoma is only crippled on
t be side affected because she has twin
screws. The Sonoma has demonstrated
more than one time that there Is a big
advantage to double screws, because there
have been other similar accidents, and in
eaoh Instance the ship has always com
pleted the voyage without assistance. Cap
tain Trmsk on former occasions has sim
ply remarked that it meant only a slight
slowing up In speed and a day or two
more for the voyage.

Preparing Against
Falling Prices
We believe that a better knowledge of why
merchants should buj wisely and sell pru
dently, collect promptly and keep their li
abilities reduced to the lowest possible point,
will serve a good and useful purpose in
averting any crisis that may arise when
prices start to decline.
In this connection we recently asked leading
manufacturers and wholesalers throughout
the country just what business coarse they
felt should be followed in order to avert men
a danger. Here are several typical replies:
"The greatest safety ia the future mexchacKte-tituaOoei
will be by avoiding all speculation atxi bujriof ami sellinf
on tbe shortest terms and for the qcrickett delhrenea."
"Tbe time is now ripe to preach cifion atxi cotsser
vation." ' "Tbe general answer to yoar quewtioog caa states!
in three words D ntt tamilt. "
"We believe the policy of the trade eimid btiOHasur
ative, and at all time be able to make atjuick tara-orc
of stocks."
The consensus of all opinions we reccire will soon be
available to the public, in booklet form. What do yarn
think? Write to us.
