CAPACITY IS 15,000 TONS December Export Fleet 'Will In clude Xorwegian Steamer Eiber gen and Steamer Qaillwark. The big- Dutch steamer Arakan of the Java-Pacific line, which was the object recently of one of the most spectacular salvage feats ever per formed on the Pacific coast, arrived in the Columbia river yesterday after noon from Sa"n Francisco to load a full cargo of wheat for Europe. She will take 1000 tons at Astoria, according to Kerr, Gifford & Co.. her charter ers, and will come up the river Friday to load the remainder of a. cargo of 7500 tons. The achievement of the wreckers in successfully refloating- the Arakan and saving both the vessel and her million-dollar cargo of sugar, when she grounded near Point Arena, at tracted the attention of all shipping men on this coast. Orca to Take Record Grain Cargo. A new Pacifie coast record for grain cargoes is expected to be established with the loading at Astoria of the British steamer Orca, now en route from Coronel, Chili, and expected In the Columbia river Thursday night or Friday morning. The capacity of this vessel is estimated at 15,000 tons of wheat, which will give her a draft of 35 feet. The record at present is held by the British steamer Friesland, which a few months ago carried a little more than 504,000 bushels from Puget sound. The cargo, which the Orca Is ex pected to take, will amount to about 665,000 bushels. The Pacifio Grain company is responsible for the charter of both of these vessels.

Besides the vessels that have loaded and gone and those now In the river, the December grain fleet will include the Norwegian steamer Eibergen and the American steamer Qutllwark, both of which are under charter to Kerr, Gifford & Co. BLASTING REPLACES DREDGER 3few Method Used to Clear Obstruc- . tion From Coos Bay Harbor. MARSH FIELD, Or.. Dec. 7. (Spe cial.) In the lower reaches of Coos bay there is a shelving rock reef running out to the north from Rocky point, which obstructs the ship chan nel and causes a short detour for vessels laden with lumber. Govern ment plans contemplate removal of this rock for a distance of about one-half mile, and the Coos Bay-built rock dredge Coos had been at work on the project for two months, when It was determined by the engineers that the method In use. "bulldozing" was far too expensive and would not answer the purpose. Changes tn method were accordingly arranged and it Is now the intention to bore six-inch holes over a large area and blast several hundred yards at one time. The operating crew on the Coos found that the obstruction in some placea is simply a cross between rock and clay, and the most difficult material to shatter. "Bulldozing" charges of generous amounts would scarcely loosen more than five or seven yards. The new plan. It Is believed, will obviate the extremely heavy cost of the work.

Tons of Freight Moved Because Smoke Drifted Into Hold of West Apaum. An empty rivet hole In a bulkhead caused the discharging and reloading of many tons of freight ina hold of the steamer West Apaum, owned by the Atlantic. Gulf & Pacific Steam ship company. When coal in one of the West Apaum's bunkers caught fire by spon taneous combustion at Astoria, Or., a few days ago. the vessel came to Portland and. doclced at terminal No. 1 to discharge the damaged coal and replenish her bunkers. When one of the hatch covers was lifte-1, smoke poured from the hold. This particular hold was filled with canned goods, and it was supposed that the cases were afire. When the longshoremen worked their way down into the hold far enough, they found that all the smoke was coming through a hole about- an inch in diameter, which penetrated the bulkhead between the coal bunker and the cargo space. W. J. Jones, stevedore, who has charge of the work, announced yes terday that the cargo will be all re placed and the bunkers filled with new coal by Thursday night, GERMAX VESSELS ALLOCATED Interned Sailing: Craft Distributed to France, England and Italy.
