The Coaxet finished loading a scant cargo for the orient yesterday after noon and shifted to the Standard Oil company's dock to take fuel for the voyage- The Abercos and Pawlet are outward-bound for the far east. In spite of the reduction of the Portland-orient fleet, Mr. O'Connor said yesterday that he expected to maintain the schedule of sailings from Portland, as previously announced, by eliminating certain ports of call in the orient. In place of five ports, the Admiral line vessels will make two or three, depending on the destina tion of freight carried. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND, Oct. 12. Arrived at mid night.

Competition between the pilots" as- ! sociation and Contain Inhr. Tannine- I independent pilot, which ended several ; months ago with the departure of cti i...... the ! .. . I sniPPin6T board wooden steamer Car- tona. loomed again yesterday as an immediate prospect when Captain I Lapping appeared at a meeting of the aetlnite stay at Philadelphia. When Ca"ptain Lapping announced his intention several months ago -of competing with the pilots' association for the business of guiding vessels into and out of the mouth of the Co lumbia river, a resolution was adopted Dy tne fort of Portland commission. which has charge of all pilotage, mak- 1 -- ,' -- j"- " - lar'd vlla?

Th.e ruling was made that the pilots snouia use their turns as determined j by lot unless a ship operating com pany had requested the services of a vcj.ai.i v.ipi.iin Kd- ward D- Parsons, who was head of the pilots' association, promptly made 't his business to get from practically " viie upeiduitg companies ' rftiocr t Tv rt m A rvi H r-e n f V. nilnti;' o c sociation be sent to. their vessels. Captain Lapping's license, which has lain in a pigeon-hole since his de parture, was returned to him by the pilot commissioners, and he left the meeting with an air of determination. A new river branch license was granted to Captain Harry L. Chase, the new member of the Columbia river pilots, and a river branch was re issued to Captain H. T. Groves. Bar branches were reissued to Captains J. C. Reed and August Lofstedt. STEELMAKER BACK IN PORT Isthmian Liner Returns to Load for Second Journey Out. The steamer Steelmaker, which In augurated the service of the Isthmian line out of Portland last April, ar rived in the river on her second visit last night and will dock early this morning at municipal terminal No. 1. She is bringing a total of 1100 tons of steel and general freight to Port land. This is the largest shipment to date to be brought here by vessels of this line, and indicates a steady growth of the coast-to-coast business. After discharging this cargo here, she will load and proceed to Seattle, where she will also discharge' and load, repeating the performance at Vancouver, B. C. and San Francisco, sailing from that port for New York. The next vesel of the Isthmian line to arrive here will be the Steel Exporter, which was due at San Fran cisco last night, and should be here in about a week. The Steel Exporter will load for the triangular run to the United Kingdom and will be fol lowed bv the Steel Ranger, which will load here for New York.

The proposition of the organization of the port of Kelso, the district In cluding Kelso and adjacent territory, and the watershed of the Coweeman and Cowlitz rivers east of Kelso, will be voted upon at the November' election. Petitions asking the organ ization of the district were presented to the county commissioners of Cow litz county some time ago and they took favorable action, but delayed calling an election to save the ex pense of a special election. The pro posed port district has the support of all Kelso interests. There is no op position to the project and none is expected. Two Voyages Are Compared. If either the barkentine or schooner rig for sailing vessels In the Pacific lumber trade has any advantage one over the other, it does not appear from a comparison of the voyages of the schooner Oregon Pine and the barkentine Katheryn Mackall. as each of these windjammers required just 65 days for the passage from the Columbia river to Sydney, Australia News of the arrival of the Katheryn Mackall at Sydney October 9 was re ceived by the merchants' exchange yesterday. Steamers Reach San Pedro. Five steamers from the Columbia river were reported as arriving yes terday at San Pedro. They were th Klamath. Erneet H. Heyer and J. A.

Bringing a cargo of fertilizer from the Vancouver Island whaling stations, the steamer Gray, operated by the Consoli dated Whaling company, arrived here this morning. The shipment amounts to 300 tons valued at 130,000. Captain Billington of the Gray reports that the whalers did a fair business off the Vancouver coast this year. Several whales were caught mea suring 83 feet In length. The Gray will sail tonight on a second trip to the sta tions for fertilizer. This being a holiday, the Dutch steam ship Kjnderyk, loading here for Europe, did not work, but the vessel will be worked tomorrow. It is not thought she will be able to finish her Tacoma cargo Thurs day, however. Tacoma shipping men were surprised at the figures given this port in the report of the el.lpping board recently sent. out. Tacoma Is listed as furnishing Ttil'T cons, while Seattle is credited with 536,345 tons. Harbormaster W. G. Row-land says he does not know how the board arrived at its figures, but his report shows an average of seven vessels for the fiscal year ending June 30 loading- at Tacoma each month. These were either managed or operated by shipping board representatives. It is declared that the entire matter Is a question as to whether Seatle would be able to make a showing In comparison with San Francisco. As the shipping board offices for this district are situated in Seattle it was easy, it is declared, to make the figures fit. It is claimed that such tactics on the part of Seattle is one rea son why Portland desired to get away from the Seattle shipping board district and into that ot San Francisco. To load fuel oil at Point Wells before going to Seattle .to finish loading, the steamer "West Ivis sailed from the Mil waukee docks today. She discharged nut oils valued at J.jOO.000.

Kent of the staff of the Seattle re pair plant, and took Mr. Wiley completely by surprise. It was given as a token of appreciation of Wiley's service as the head of the two industries.

CASCA-TONE Will do for you what it has done for these men. Get a bottle TODAY. At all good druggists. YEARS little I ate would sour, and the gas would bloat me so that I would nearly smother for hours at the time, and would finally fro to bed with a sick headache and so dizzy it seemed that everything- was whirling around and that the bed would tip me out. In fact. I was in as bad a condition as a person could be in and live. . "I had an X-ray examination of my stomach, and was told I had Kail stones, appendicitic, stomach ulcers and other troubles. I spent hundreds of dollars without relief. 1 then thought of Tanlac, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I tried it. and I want to say that I would rather do without anything else in the world than Tanlac. "Tanlac has built me up in every way. I can now eat anything I want and it doesn't hurt me. I do not have sick headaches and dizzy spells, and I can vest well at night. I have gained in weight and strength -until 1 can do my housework easily, and I have taken care of two rhildren besides. I prize Tanlac above every other medicine."
