yesterday for the purpose of making
Portlanders familiar with what they
possess at the new municipal, ter
minal. While traffic missionaries are
being maintained to extol the virtues
of the new mammoth terminal in the
far east and the Atlantic coast, it
was felt that a little of the same
kind of missionary work might
profitably be done at home.
Accordingly, one civic club and
business men's organization after
another, not omitting the women's
clubs, will be invited to inspect the
terminal and possibly to have lunch
there until all such civic bodies have
observed the facilities provided for
the handling of Portland's foreign
trade. The first invitation Is to be
extended to the Portland Chamber of
Commerce.
Arrangements for a visit to terminal
No. 4 already have been made by the
Ad club and by the committees in
charge of activities here during buy
ers week and the convention of the
American Society of Civil Kngineers.
Members of the dock commission
agreed yesterday to devote the aft
ernoon of August 12 to the entertain
ment of the visiting engineers at the
terminal.

made chairman of a special commit
tee to have charge of showing the
municipal terminal to its owners and
to visitors.

The dock commission will co
operate with the port commission
and the Chamber of Commerce in
entertaining members of the Seattle
port commission, who will visit this

forthcoming visit, was read at yes
terday's meeting of the dock commis
sion, A high compliment to municipal
terminal No. 4 and to G. B. Hegardt,
the engineer who designed it. was
paid by George L. Logan. United
States consul at Penang. Straits Set
tlements, it was narrated yesterday
by t . C Knapp. Mr. Knapp reported
that Mr. Logan had remarked to him:
"I do not know what engineer de
signed this terminal for you, but it
is my opinion that he is one of the
best in the country. This terminal Is
the most complete and modern that
I have seen anywhere."

OFFERED
Ilanlon Agrees to Build First 2 0 0-
Ton Ship In 120 Days.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 5. (Spe
cial.) Daniel Hanlon, president of
the Hanlon Drydock & Shipbuilding
company of Oakland, Cal., has start
led San Francisco bay by a daring: bid
for the construction of the three 2000
ton steel steamships for Atlantic coast
Interests, according to advices re
ceived from the Golden Gate district.
He guarantees to deliver the first
of the vessels December 1, although
he has not a single ton of material in
his yard. This means that he will
have to -buy and assemble his steel
and other materials and equipment
and build the first vessel, all in 130
days. He agrees to make the same
peed on the other ships. So sure is
Mr. Hanlon that he can make good on
his guarantee that he offers to pay a
forfeit of $1750 for each day over the
specified limit.
"I'm not taking the slightest
chance." said Sir. Hanlon. "I'll com
plete these contracts on time if I get
them. You see, I now have almost
the entire active personnel of the old
cKinner os May organlxation of Se
attle." This is regarded by the Seattle wa
ter front as the finest tribute ever
paid to the corps of superintendents,
foremen and assistant foremen who
formed the Skinner & Eddy organiza
tion. in the last two or three months
Mr. Hanlon has been spending much
of his time adding Skinner & Kddy
men to his forces.

cial.) A 50 per cent increase over

PARK SITE OF EIGHTY ACRES UNDER ST. PETER'S DOME OFFERED AS GIFT TO MULTNOMAH
'
WHEAT RATE REDUCED
NEW SCHEDtHE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1.
Chartering to Increase as Result of
Drop, It Is Thought Steam
er Indus Loads.
The shipping board rate on wheat
and flour from the Pacific coast to
Europe has been reduced from $28 to
$20 per ton, according to advices re
ceived from San Francisco yesterday
by E. w. Crichton, district agent of
the operations division of the shipping
board. The same information was
contained in private advices . to op
erators of shipping board tonnage.
The new rate is to become effective
September 1 and is to be quoted until
the end of the calendar year.
This reduction in rates has been an
ticipated by grain exporters' here for
some time in view of the fact that
vessels of foreign registry were avail
able for charter at about $8 per ton
ess than shipping board vessels.
It was conceded by ship operators
that this action on the part of the
shipping board indicates a determi
nation to compete with foreign ves
sels at whatever rate they may name,
and that any consistent rate cutting
by operators of foreign tonnage will
be followed by similiar action on the
part of the shipping board.
It is expected that the reduction in
rates will have a tendency to in
crease chartering. As yet no charters
for the movement of new crop grain
have been announced here, and the
feeling has prevailed that exporters
were merely awaiting a reduction
in the export rate before booking
vessels for the movement of the
1920-21 crop.
The Swedish steamer Indus, now
loading in the local harbor for the
Pacific Grain company, and the Brit
ish steamers. Mount Etna and -Trel-
Issick, chartered for August loading
by Kerr, Gifford & Co., are all under
stood to have been fixed at a rate,
about equal to the new shipping
board rate.

could be handled every month, they
said.
