river steamers Astorian and Olym
pian. The Astorian is to be placed

to operate on a fast schedule between
Portland and The Dalles.
Close co-operation will exist be
tween the operators of the two pas
senger boats and Frank Shepard of
the Shepard auto bus service. Sight-
- seeing busses making the trip up the
highway will meet the Olympian at
The Dalles and Cascade Locks so that
passengers may make the ecenic trip
over the Columbia river highway and
return to Portland on the river, or
- vice versa.

tation company, which is managing
the two boats.

claim for their boat that it will pass
anything on the river, while the Hark

a surprise In the way of speed when
the Georgiana again takes the water

now being installed.
While a decision Is being reaches in
regard to the erection of a new pas

of Front and Morrison streets and
while the dock is being built if the
decision is favorable, the Olympian

SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.)
Government allocation of additional
water carriers for the Portland
oriental lines to handle phosphate
rock from Idaho, by way of Columbia
river ports, is not possible at the
present time, according; to telegrams
received from Senator Charles Mc
Kary and a member of the United
States shipping board at the offices
of the public service commission here
today. These telegrams were in reply
to messages sent to Senator McNary
and the shipping board by Fred
Buchtel, chairman of the commission.
Saturday.
Mr. McNary's telegram reads:
"Have furnished Senator Chamber
lain copy of your telegram of Feb
ruary 2 to shipping board and have
taken matter up with board and they
advice as follows:
"'Account of heavy outward cargo
offerings which includes large propor
tion weight, cargo such as steel Pa
cific coast tonnage is not more than
sufficient to meet general cargo re
quirements and maintain regular ser
vice already established.
" "Phosphate rock is heavyweight
cargo and for that reason is not at
tractive in full cargo lot nor in parcel
lots, on general cargo steamers for
which weight cargo is represented by
steel or other heavy commodities.
"The board advises that they are
making every effort for additiona
tonnage available for Pacific coast
loading by shifting vessels from this
coast as they become available and
cargo can be obtained.
"This particular offer on phosphate
rock had previously been offered, the
board advises, and is now under con
sideration by their assistant director
at San Francisco, and will receive
best attention subject to limitations
expressed above."
Foreigners Said to Have Taken Out
Citizenship Papers "For Con
venience" and - Wages.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. William
A. Wescott, president of the Masters',
Mates' and Pilots' association of the
Pacific coast, told the senate com
merce committee today that the ex
ecutive order permitting aliens to
officer American ships until they can
secure naturalization papers should
be rescinded In the interest of the
merchant marine.
As a result of this order many men,
he said, have taken out citizenship
papers "for convenience" only, be
cause higher wages are paid by
American than by foreign ship
owners, but with no intention of
retaining citizenship after their term
of service expires. He also opposed
American ships being manned by for
eigners. Wescott also read to the committee
a letter from a member of his asso
ciation dated Cardiff, Wales, telling
of the dismissal of the crew of the
shipping board steamer Catawba and
the substitution of British officers
and crew despite the fact that the
terms of service of the former had
not . expired.
The committee took steps to have
the shipping board advise it of the
facts.
Government ownership of the mer
chant marine was favored by Wescott,
who said if this was not possible the
government at least should retain a
controlling interest in order to assist
American industries in foreign trad
by providing lower freight rates than
those of foreign vessels.

STAMP WARNING ISSUED
IiOSS IX REDEMIXG WAR SEALS
UNNECESSARY.
Secretary of Bureau Publishes Ad'
vice Against Practices of Al
leged Speculators.
Owners of war savings stamps are
warned by the better businesa bureau
of the Portland Ad club against ac
cepting any loss unnecessarily in con
verting them into cash at their pres
ent value. Investigation conducted
by Charles W. English, secretary of
the bureau, reveals that various brok
ers who have been advertising to pur
chase the stamps have been doing so
at a discount of from 11 to 15 per cent.
The stamps ar redeemable at any
postoffice, but for the protection of
the holders and as a means of check-
ng up on ownership a notice of ten
days is required when they are to be
turned in.
Stamps of 1918 are now redeemable
at (4.25, and it was found that one
firm is buying them at $3.90 each.
making a profit of 35 cents on each
stamp. This 19 aproximately the same
as the bond dealers charge for han
dling a $50 liberty bond. Another firm
was found to be discounting each
stamp 50 cents. A third dealer was
allowing holders $3.62 Vi for each
stamp, making a profit of 62V4 cents
on each. Thus the person who, in
endeavoring to practice thrift, had
acquired ten stamps having a pres
ent value of $42.50 at the postoffice
by giving ten days' notice, would be
charged $6.50 commission by the spec
ulative buyer.
