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. That is the second wage cut in
the last year and the new sml i

Regarding the settlement of an ac

FIRE ON -IOW AN REPORTED
Vessel Which Left Portland March
14 in Trouble Near Balboa.
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.

COPRA PLANT HERE FAVORED
Portland Method Said to Afford
Improvements on Orient.
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.
RATE MEETING HELD HERE
Chamber of Commerce Navigation
Committee Has Session.
Section 28, of the merchant marine
act, which has to do with denying
to foreign vessels the privilege of

Salmon ranch Thursday.
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.
