" 20 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 BIG STEAMER LIFTED 1AITD NEW DRYDDCK One Hour and Five Minutes Required for Task. PORTLAND'S 15,000-TON DRYDOCK, ONE OF THE MOST RECENT ADDITIONS TO MARINE EQUIP MENT PROVIDED BY PUBLIC FUNDS, GIVEN FIRST TEST. TIME CONSIDERED GOOD Ltft Made in Teeth of Southerly Gale Accompanied by Rain, Vessel Edgar F. tuckenbach. Portland's new 13.000-ton drydock lifted the 12,000-ton steamer Edgar F. Luckenbacn. which was Its first effort as a drydoc. in one hour and five minutes from the time the pumps of the pontoons started. Actual pumpr lng- time, however, until the ship was high and dry was 60 minutes, because there were two stops. The lift was made in the teeth of a southerly blow, accompanied by a driving rain. It was 8:30 o'clock Thursday night when the dock was up, so other than the fact it is a new plant, the time re quired in view" of prevailing condi tions is held to be excellent. The vessel was drawing 18 feet forward when she was hauled into the pontoons, electric winches on the dock being used for the purpose. As soon as she was "lined up" over the keelblocks the bilge blocks were pulled into place and the pumps started. Dock Force Handicapped. An auxiliary telephone, rigged be tween the ship's bridge and the dock, carried away when the vessel was about half out of the water and witn the blow on the work, the dock force in the darkness was handicapped. The Albina Engine & Machine Works had a crew of men on hand early yesterday and work of replac ing a few rivets on the vessel began. It is expected cleaning and painting of the hull will be finished so that j COMMERCE CHAMBER PARTY she can be floated from the pontoons this afternoon. I 'INSPECTS HARBOR.

As she is the first ship to be dispatched by the Co lumbia Pacific interests (since effects of the trans-Pacific rate war were felt here, it was matter of comment that as far as her cargo figured there was no concern about rate Influences. It chanced that the various lines reached an agreement Tuesiay to re adjust rates, so her departure was again under normal conditions. The "West Keats, of the same flag, which discharged general cargo at terminal No. 1, dropped down to the plant of the Portland Vegetable Oi! Mills company yesterday to unload close to 1200 tons of copra, shipments of which are included in every cargo for that line. By bringing copra here to be pressed, instead of haying the pressing done on the other side and the oil transported, it was said a gain is made in that thet copra loses none of its value eji route, while what re mains as residue, after being pressed, Is disposed of. OH Harder to Ship. On the other hand the shipment of cocoanut oil from the other side is said to often be necessary under un favorable conditions because of the condition of ship tanks and other in fluences. The West Keats is scheduled to leave on the return voyage May 17 but may get away in advance, as the Hannawa was scheduled for April 17 The aim istto space the vessels, since some of the tonnage had been ordered out of service when It was antlcl pated that rate slashing might war rant operation of fewer carriers. The company will continue the present schedule, with other ships available for adding to the service as cargo in creases, which is looked for under stabilized tariff conditions and the movement of new-season crops.
