BEACH TRIP INNOVATION Rivalry Between Harkins Trans portation Company and Opera tor of Steamer Iralda Keen. A boon to vacationists and a re newed interest in water transporta tion developed yesterday when the Harkins Transportation company, folio-wing a cut in rates by the rival eteamy , Iralda, announced the in auguration of a special excursion rate of H each way between Portland and Astoria. The first rate war in many years on the Columbia river opens at 8 o'clock this morning when the Hark ins line steamer Georgiana leaves her dock Sit that hour. The steamer Iralda, whose operator, L. H. Hol man, started the fireworks, leaves one hour later. Rate Kffectlve Three Dors. The new Jl fare each way applies to all trips of the Iralda, but is ef fective on the Harkins steamer Georgiana only on the Iralda's sail ing - days Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday. On Monday, Wedntsday and Friday, the Georgiana will charge her regular rate of fr2, except in the case of passengers taking ad vantage of the Saturday to Monday round-trip-'rate of $3. Officers of the Harkins. Trans portation company dtny the .existence of a rate war, and proclaim the re duction of fares to meet the Iralda's cut as a new "excursion rate." Prom the Astoria end of the line, the new $1 rate applies to the Iralda on all her trips, which start from Astoria at 9 A. M. Monday, Wednes day and Friday. Via the Harkins line the $1 rate applies on the steamer Undine, leaving Astoria at 9:30 A. M. every day except Sunday and Mon day. Bench Trip Innovation. In addition to the cut in rates on the steamer Iralda, Mr. Holman an nounces another innovation in the way of through rates and through tickets from Portland to Seaside and Gearhart, by the steamer to Astoria and thence by stage line to the beach resort, the one fare including all transportation. A single through fare is $UD0 plus a 10-cent war tax. and the round-trip fare is just twice this amount. The Harkins line steamers Lurline and Madeline, leaving I'ortland alter nately every evening at 7:30 o'clock, and the steamer Undine, also of this line, on the trip from F'ortland at 9:30 P.

SIIlPriXG BOARD ' IS RAPPED lia I'olletlc Declares "Vicious Prac tices" Still Prevail. WASHINGTON,' L. C, July 25. In vestigation to determine if shipping board policies have been "molded by British influences" and are hostile to organized labor was urged in' the senate today by Senator La Follette, republican, Wisconsin. The new board, he said, apparently continued the labor policy of the old board, and a congressional inquiry was needed to protect American mer chantmen. If it was the purpose of the new board to "change any of the vicious practices of the old board, such pur pose has not manifested itself in ac tion so far as I have learned," he said. Of the new organization's seven mem bers, he added, "not one . . . ever had any experience i rv the manage ment or operation of ships," and an Investigation would be helpful to the board. The past policy of hostility to organized labor, he said, had driven men away from American ships. He charged that "coercion and tleception" had been practiced by chipping board agents in recruiting workers. VUGUTS FOR HARBOR PROBLEM Development of ortli Portland Waterway Again Obstructed. Development of North Portland harbor as a waterway for ocean steamers encountered another ob struction yesterday when the light house bureau, through Robert War ' rack, superintendent for this district, informed the Port of Portland that the bureau has. no authority to in stall and maintain lights in North Portland harbor to aid shipping. James H. Polhemus, general man ager for tile Port of Portland, says that neither has the port authority to indulge in this expense, and neither have the North Portland in terests, who have been advocating ami furthering the development of their harbor, any appropriation for this purpose. It is hoped that some solution for the matter of aids to navigation can be found, however, beiore the chan nel is ready to navigate.

Delay to the vessel which ; made her arrival 12 days late, was due to ' the liniited facilities afforded at Salina Cruz. The vessel was in port in Salina Cruz for seven days. There were 14.4 passengers in all classes arriving here on the Hawkeye State. She brought 10OO tons q general cargo for discharge here. The vessel has more than 200,000 tons of refined sugar for delivery to the Hawaiian islands. Making a quick turn around, the Union Steamship company's liner Marama, Cap tain B. M. Aldwell, sailed from here today for south seas and Australian ports. The vessel arrived here last Thursday. ' The Robert Dollar company announced today that the ex -German barks they purchased and brought north from Mexico, where they were interned during the war, will not participate in the movement of grain from the Pacific coast to Europe. Reports were that a move was under way to place the sailing vessels in commission for this trade. Ail of the barks brought here by the Robert Dollar company have been changed to American registry. Thirty-seven steam schooners have been sent to sea with non-union crews since the shipowners' association decided to operate under the American plan and opened an employment office here. All the crews have been engaged through this office, which, it was announced by the owners' aasoci ac tion, will be permanent. Crews for three vessels were hired at the employment office on Sunday and to day crews were signed for the following vessels Katherine, Tiverton. Bertie M. Hanlon, Daisy Freeman, Prentiss, Myers Lindauer and Idaho. Marine Notes.'

Premiums for Fancy Spring Grades Are Shot to Pieces Daring Day's Session. CHICAGO. July 25. Wheat prices bulged at the last today because of re nnrtu that wheat bought by Belgium in Australia was being received out of con dition. The market closed firm. to IVic net hrgher, with September $1.23 Vi to $1.23 and December $1.26 14 to $1.26V. Corn gained to c, oats lost c to 5sc, and provisions finished unchanged to 15c lower. Late strength of wheat was emphasized by gossip that exporters could not obtain their requirements in the market here. Re newed attention was thus drawn to a state ment from Secretary Hoover putting stress on a forecast that united States surplus grain would be in demand for Europe. Un til after midday, however, the market had rulf d heavy owing to continued big receipts here and to a likelihood that the total primary receipts this week might ex ceed any previous record. Besides, hedg ing pressure was much in evidence during the morning and premiums for fancy spring grades were shot to pieces, tum bling 25c in some cases compared with Saturday. On the other hand, a decided falling off in hedging sales took place in the last hour, shorts covered freely and commission house demand was said to be of a good class. Export salts of 500,000 bushels rallleo corn from the bearish effect of rains, bu hedging sains kept oats weak. Lower quotations on hogs acted as a weight on provisions. The Chicago grain letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland follows: Chicago. III.. July 25. Wheat started easier. Prices- averaged 1 cent lower most of the day on selling induced by a run of over 3100 cars for the four western and southwestern markets. In the final hour sharp upturns followed advices of large wheat export business at the seaboard and a smaller increase in the, visible supply than was expected. ( Homes with eastern and northwestern connections were on the buying side. Ex cellent demand was reported at on t side markets and cash houses were good buy ers on the dips. Country offerings to arrive were mod erate,' with primary receipts of 5.471.000 bushels, as compared, with 1,780.000 a year ago. Cash prices were off with the futures, with Ihe basis on redtand hard unchanged to a trifle easier. Liquidation has been he.vy for some time and the short interest has increased as the market declined. This, in our opinion, leaves the market in, a- vulnerable position for an upturn with a continuation of bullish news and a little more .uotside interests. Corn Started easier and after ruling lower most of the day, rallied to around the previous close - when shorts started covering in sympathy with the rally in wheat. Two of the leading commission ' houses were liberal buyers, especially of Septem ber. Cash market was half cent lower ard the basis quarter cent easier. Ship ping sates were 875.00O bushels and 750.000 bushels were taken for export. Estimated receipts were 360 cars. The visible supply decreased 1.431.000 bushels. There were scattered showers reported over Illinois and some good rains in Iowa over the holiday. OatB Opened easier In sympathy with other grains dropping further on selling by a leading cash house, while outside support was lacking. Country offerings to arrive increased but were around two cents above the mar ket. v The seaboard said some Canadian oats were worked abroad. Shipping sales were 40,000 bushels. We think the lack of strength in this cereal is -due to an over-bought condition arising from general poor crop reports. Rye July rye was higher at the start under a little short covering, while Sep tember opened lower. There were very, few orders In the mar ket and both deliveries dropped below Saturday's closing figures. The seaboard said some rye was Bold abroad today.
