TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1923 14 DREDGING PROJECT FOR FALL OUTLINED DO YOU REMEMBER? Port Manager Says 3,000, 000 Yards to Be Removed. HARBOR TO BE CLEARED Even Depth Over Larger Area in River Will Be Attained When Work Is Completed. Details of a dredging programme! unfolded before the Port of Portland commission yesterday by James Fol hemus. general manager, provide for a general project below the St. Johns bridge of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle that will clear the last area in the harbor proper on each side of the channel and call for the removal of close to 3.000,000 yards of material. The work will not be undertaken until October, as the dredge fleet will be fully engaged until then. Involved in the undertaking is the working out of a fixed plan of opera tion and selection of a dumping ground from among sites available. In the estimate it is indicated that part of the work beiow the bridge will be the removal of a lump of hard formation off the drydock, but the main- dredging task there is in front of the Grant Smith-Porter Ship com pany's former yard and in that area are about 1.300,000 yards. From ter minal No. 4 north, starting close to the terminal property, the zone to be improved is expected to mean the re moval of about 1.000,000 yards and the remainder to be taken out is below that section. Depth to Be Extended. With the mouth of the Willamette river in good condition and the work of clearing up sediment in front of a few docks in the main harbor, the fall project will provide for the ruling depth over a larger section of the waterway than has been available before. Another important job under way is the new west channel at Swan Island, material from which is being pumped ashore for the terminal site fill at Guild's lake. As an assistance in handling mate rial Manager Polhemus informed the commission that a "booster," electric ally equipped so that it can be placed in position in the discharge pipeline of a dredge and apply its power foi carrying the material a longer dis tance, was nearly completed and would be tested shortly. The commission decided to author ize the general manager to place marine insurance to the amount of tlOO.OOO on its drydock while .1350,000 in fire insurance is to cover wharves, ehops and buildings of the drydock plant. The commission of public docks, which recently finished its new drydock, placed J400.000 in ma rine insurance alone on that property. In connection- with the drydock prop erty the installation of a sprinkler system was authorized, the work go ing to the Rockwood Sprinkler com pany on a bid of J5200. Wages Ordered Cut. Wages of the drydock force, num bering between 50 and 60 men. were ordered cut 10 per cent, effective to day.

Fire aboard the steamer Iowan, of the United American lines, was re ported from Balboa yesterday, the message being to the effect the ves sel was nearing the canal entrance and there she would be met by fire tugs The trouble was then confined to No. 1 hold. A wireless from the lowan to the canal authorities told of the fire. The vessel departed from Portland for New York March 14, calling at San Francisco, which port she quitted March 19. Another message from the canal, sent from Cristobal, was to the ef fect the steamer Arizonian, of the same flag, but in the European serv ice, was reloading her cargo there and would get under way again tomorrow. She is bound for London and Liver pool and on reaching the canal dam figed her wheel and hull. When near Vancouver, B. C, at the start of the present voyage she grounded and was damaged, so steamship men re gard the fire aboard the Iowan as the third accident for the fleet that superstitious ones bold will be the last for a time. Mariners cling to the view that three accidents usually occur before the hoodoo is lifted. GRAYS HARBOR TRADE GAINS Steady Increase in Water Com merce Reported by Mr. Hartson.

Importation of copra here and pressing the oil affords a distinct advantage in the cocoariut oil indus try of the coast over oriental plants that press the copra and attempt to ship oil here, according to C. A Edwards, treasurer of the Portland Vegetable Oil Mills company, who Is home after a tour of the orient, the Philippines and neighboring islands in the interest of copra shipments. Mr. Edwards said the system. In vogue by the Portland plant of hav ing the copra shipped here is pro dctive In many ways, chiefly through the fact that the copra loses none of j terday to load its oil values while on the way and the residue, after the oil is pressed from it, is marketable. Unfavorable shipping conditions at times, the fact suitable vessels for oil consignments are not always available and the present financial status in the far east are features with which the ori ental oil pressers are confronted. FUEL BARGE IS OS WAY Craft That Struck Snag Near Ka lama Is Salvaged. A fuel barge that struck a snag and sank near Kalama when on the way to Willow bar with a load of sawdust for tne federal dredges, hai been raised and will be due at the government moorings here today. The barge- was In tow of the tug Adams. Happily the class of the cargo was such that dampness did not damage it. so another barge was moored alongside and the fuel transferred by means of a clamshell rig. The tug Mendell is bringing the damaged fuel carrier here for repairs and it is expected to be returned to service shortly. One report was that the barge ran onto a sunken hemlock log. Complaint has been made that many logs are dropped from rafts which are being towed here. The butt of the hemlock sinks and the other end extends toward the sur face at an angle, often being only a few inches below the water and not discernible to navigators. LIGHTS MAY BE SHUT OFF Valued Aid to Pilots in Columbia Estuary Threatened. Faced by the prospect of having power shut down at Fort Stevens at midnight each night, which would cut off the oscillating red light mark ing that point, which is held to be a most valued aid to pilots in the es tuary of the Columbia river, Robert Warrack, superintendent of the 17th lighthouse district, is endeavoring to make a deal with the Pacific Light & Power company to furnish electricity. Failing in that, he will install a bea con so that navigation will be pro tected. The present oscillating light is of 450 candle power and if commercial power is used the aid will be changed to a fixed red light of 50 candle pow er. Shortage of funds for main tenance of the Fort Stevens military plant is given as .the reason for the power plant ceasing operations at m'dnight.

Trans-Pacific Operators 'of San Francisco and Puget Sound to Try to Get Together. SAN FRANCISCO, March 31. Trans Pacific operators, including members of the Pacific westbound conference and other operators as well, have agreed to meet' Tuesday at Portland in an effort to end the rate war started by the declaration of open tariffs. Portland as a meeting place was agreed on as a concession to British Columbia and Seattle lines, who objected to the trip to San Fran cisco. Portland operators were aware that an expression had emanated from San Francisco to the effect that trans Pacific steamshipmen there were willing to meet with those of Puget sound and thresh out the rate-cutting situation, but it was not known that an arrangement had been entered into for a meeting. Even at that, it was said no policy had been outlined, but it was the hope of California opera tors that a reorganization of the con ference would include all trans-Pacific lines. Portland's position was declared to be different from that either at San Francisco or on Puget sound, as the effect here was said not to have be come apparent to the extent expe rienced at the other ports. Also, it was pointed out. Portland had kept on the outside and has maintained a neu. tral position. The rate war was precipitated by Puget sound lines, credit being given the Blue Funnel fleet, and lumber was cut from ?15 to $12. Instead of $8 and $9 being obtained for general cargo, as had been the case here, a $5 rate was made effective. San Francisco followed with low rates within a week of the action of the Puget sound interests being made known, and since then meetings have been held at San Francisco and Se attle to endeavor to end the war.
