COAST CONTRACTS ASKED Following Investigation, of North west Situation, Terminal Com pany Is Organized. The last link in the chain con necting the Northwest lumber produc er with the consumer in the eastern market via -water transportation is apparently in the process of being forgred, according to a telegram re ceived yesterday by George Quayle of the Oregon State Chamber of Com merce from E. R. Shaw of the Fulton Lumber Terminal company of New York. The telegram stated that the New York company is now prepared to contract with Pacific coast lumber men to handle lumber through the terminal as a distributing center. The Fulton Lumber Terminal com pany has been working on the lum ber distribution problem in the east for the past four month, and the an nouncement of its plans some time ago was received with the keenest interest by local lumber producers. It Is admitted among local lumber in terestts that the problem confront ing the producer is not one of water transportation alone, since ample shipping is available to carry lumber cargoes to the eastern markets via the Panama canal. Distribution Is Problem. The problem of distribution to in land points after transportation to the east is the crux of the situation, according to local lumbermen, since the margin upon which the producers operate does not permit of extensive rehandling. Following an investigation of the lumber situation in the northwest after the increased .rail rates had curtailed eastern movements of lum ber to a minimum. E. R. Shaw of New York and Senator Thomle of Everett. Wash., organized the International Charterers corporation and the Fulton Lumber Terminal company in New Ycrk. The International Charterers cor poration, which is backed by British and Scandinavian capital, in addi tion to the backing of eastern ship pers, was organized for the purpose of operating from the. Pacific coast to Norway and Sweden, touching on the Atlantic coast en route. The telegram . received by . Mr. Quayle yesterday follows: "This company is now prepared to contract wit h Pacific lumbermen to handle their products through its terminal here on equitable terms. The -Atlantic and Pacific shipbuilding company has contracted with M. E. Barham, receiver for the Norway Pa cific Drydock and Shipbuilding com pany of Everett, Wash., who is here now to operate its plant and con struct ships for the International Charterers corporation. Senator Thomle, on behalf of the Internation al Charterers corporation, is now pre pared to negotiate for the handling of lumber and other products from the Pacific northwest to New York and .other Atlantic and foreign ports. We will send you plans of our terminals here and want to know what sup port we can count on from your in terests." Conference Is field. Immediately upon receipt of this telegram. Mr. Quayle called into con-I ference L. W. Held, manager of the 1 Pacific Coast Shippers' association. : It was decided that inasmuch as the telegram from the terminal company had not specifically stated what the storage capacity of the terminal is nor the amount of terminal charges contemplated, it would be necessary that this information be placed in the hands of lumber producers be fore an operating margin for the producer could be determined. The following telegram was accordingly dispatched yesterday afternoon by Mr. Quayle: "Your telegram of yesterday re ceived. Assuming that you have ample dock facilities and rail con nections, advise us as to your storage capacity and how much covered stor age capacity. We want to know your rates for hand ling and storage per thousand feet. Have you dockage and warehouse facilities for assembling wesbound cargo? The matter of wat er transportation is receiving strong support from northwest lumbermen And shippers." Representing the wholesale lumber shippers of this district, Mr. Held declared yesterday that If the term inal charges were equitable, the New York company would receive the heartiest support and co-operation from the local lumber producers, since the lumber distribution problem in the east rested primarily upon the establishment of such a terminal.

The marine court of inquiry on the wrecking of the coastwise steamer Prince Rupert near Swanson Bay. B. C, September 29 last was concluded today.

P. I., on the return trip, according to a tenative schedule being prepared uy tae r-acmc steamship company. Inasmuch as this will be the first trip in the new passenger service, it is felt by local representatives of snipping and export interests that Portland should have a strong delega tion on ooard to advertise Oregon I products in all the ports of the orient. Information relative to Port land's harbor and shipping facilities,' manufactories a nd complete data on export commodities handled through cms port- will be taken on the trade excursion, according to the plans. Excursion Is Important. This will be one of the most im portant excursions in the history of Portland," said J. Fred Larson of the Pacific International company, presi dent of the Foreign Commerce club. V e are on the threshold of a great export trade development and it is essential that we get in on the ground noor ana Doost .Portland and Oregon export products to the limit. The future of the Pacific coast lies in ex port trade, and as Portland is the outlet of a vast productive territory. we cannot afford to overlook any opportunity to advance our foreign trade prospects. "The projected trade excursion should have a representative of every industry in Oregon on board, amply supplied with all available data and nformalion on our export products and prepared to scatter this informa tion broadcast throughout the orient. The orient is the great future mar ket for the Pacific coast and the com ing excursion will mark a forward step in the development of that market." Chamber In dome Plans. The Oregon State Chamber of Com merce has indorsed the plans for the trade excursion and will co-operate in working out the details as soon as. the definite itinerary and date of sailing of the wenatchee has been fixed by the Pacific Steamship com pany, according to George Quayle, general secretary of the state organization. "his excursion is one of the many things that mark the beginning of a new era in Oregon s development, said Mr. Quayle. "The growth of foreign commerce from this port will add to the industrial properity of the state at large and especially to Portland's importance as a growing manufacturing center. This, in turn. will cause the development of many of Oregon's potential resources and the final establishment of a sub stantial and prosperous industrial life for the community. "In regard to the excursion in par ticular, it is absolutely necessary that we have a strong delegation on board from this district. Oregon's export trade will depend upon the advertise ment of Oregon products. I have no doubt that the idea will be enthusi astically accepted by the manufac turers and exporters of the state. A committee to take charge of de tails of the excursion will be ap pointed in the near future, it was announced. LINES TO HAVE RECEIVER BIGHT STEAMSHIP COMPANIES UNDER, BOARD MANAGEMENT.

G. 76 at Montgomery dock with cargoes of wheat for Europe will be started today. The Forst arrived in port Wednesday and the D. A. I. G. 76 came up the river yesterday morn ing from Astoria. The cargo to be slowed here in the IX A. E. G. 76 will be the second to be placed in tier holds. She is new steamer, launched last year by Blohm & Voas, of Hamburg, build ers of the Imperator and the Vater- land, now the Leviathan. The only voyage made by the vessel under German management was from Ham burg to Norway and back. She was then turned over to the British at the Firth of Forth, Scotland, where the Germans handed over their grand fleet. She is now operated for the British ministry of shipping by the Glen line of London. She is under command of Captain A. B. W. Shep- pard. VeMcl'i Xante Interpreted. Speculation as to the significance of the letters and number under which - she is officially listed was ended yesterday by the present offi cers of the vessel, who have it from the German officers whom they re lieved that the letters, "D. A. D. G." stand for Deutsch-A ustralisch Dampfschiffs Gesellschaft, or Ger man-Australian Steamship company, as was guessed a month ago by savants of the Portland waterfront. The steamer Forst, built in the same yard as the D. A. I. G. 76, was also intended for this company. She is now operated by the King line of London. The Forst has seen more service than her intended fleet-mate. She was taken over by the British in July, 1919, and after undergoing ex tensive repairs went to Australia for a cargo of wheat, which she carried to Dublin. Her next voyage was to Norfolk, Va., to take a cargo of flour to Trieste. The present trip is her fourth. Canal F-acllItie Praiwd. Officers of the Forst are enthusi astic in their praise of the facilities provided by the American govern ment at the Panama canal, and say that their vessel was whisked from ocean to ocean in less than eight hours. The vessel made the trip fro: Batboa to the Columbia river in 12 days, averaging 12.4 nautical miles an hour for this leg of the journey. On one stage of the journey she rolled off 323 sea miles in a single day. The steamer Forst is commanded by Cap tain G. A. Porteous Captain J. H. Roberts, head of the J. H. Roberts company, which is lin ing the two British steamers for their wheat cargoes. Is saving the vessels many hours time by his method of operation; By the time each of the two reached her dock, Roberta men and lumber were on hand.
