STEAMER ARAKAN
HERE FOR WHEAT
Orca to Establish New Rec
ord for Grain Cargoes.
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.
Only Two Wheat Steamers In Port.
With the exception of two steamers
loading part cargoes of wheat, Port
land harbor Is devoid of grain ves
sels for the first time in several
months. The Dutch steamer Moerdyk,
of the Holland-America line, is tak
ing wheat at Pacific Coast Elevator
company's dock and the British
steamer Mount Berwyn'of the Societe
Generate de Transports Maritimes a
Vapeur. is to start loading wheat this
morning at the Montgomery dock.
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.

Recommendation to pass early in
the 1921 session of the Oregon legis
lature an emergency measure provid
ing for the sale of Port of Portland
bonds in sufficient amount to meet
operating expenses and carry forward
the projected improvement for the

the Chamber of Commerce. Xhe meet
ing was held to consider various
phases of the problems before its
members.
It also was recommended that the
power of appointment of the mem
bers of the port be vested by the
legislature with the governor and
that the committee consist of five
members. Among the qualifications
or members, it was said -that resi
dence of not less than three years In
the port district should be one.
The committee discussed at consid
erable length the purchase of Swan
island, and a tie vote on that subject
made it necessary for Chairman Mul
key to cast the deciding ballot. This
put the committee on record as rec
ommending purchase, if at all, at a
price not to exceed the sum to be
fixed by the chamber's appraisal com
mittee and that the so-called elbow
of the island be straightened, should
the island be purchased.
Regarding the proposed improve
ment of .North Portland harbor, as
asked for by business men there, the
committee recommended to the Port
of Portland commission that this be
done, if found feasible, and that the
expense be borne under provisions of
the benefit and damage theory.
George V. Joseph resigned from the
committee. He will sit in the senate
at the next session of the legislature.

LACK OF RIVET COSTLY
HOLE IX VESSEL'S BCLKHEAD
FORCES CARGO SHIFT.
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,
