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

Several of the offshore fleet are
moving seaward, five having departed
yesterday and at least two being
slated to leave today. In the fleet
dispatched yesterday were included
the City of Rangoon in Ellerman's
Wilson line, for Hull and other Euro
pean ports; the Tamatsu Maru and
Kureha Maru, in the "K" line, for
Yokohama and Kobe, and the Shln
koku Maru and Hanna Nielsen, the
latter in the American-Asiatic line,
for Shanghai. The steamer Hannawa
is scheduled to leave by night for the
usual oriental ports in the service of
the Columbia Pacific Shipping com
pany, and the Kaian Maru should get
under way for Yokohama and K.obe,
she being another "K" line carrier.
The City of Rangoon carried lum
ber for Hull and Havre and a ship
ment of 750 cases of canned pears
for Leith, besides miscellaneous con
signments. The three Japanese
steamers and the Hanna Nielsen
started for the other side principally
laden with lumber."".
Cargo Is Diversified.
The Hannawa has a diversified
cargo for the orient. . 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.
Channel to Be Surveyed.
Under . orders from Major Park
corps of engineers, a survey crew will
check the new cut at Willow bar to
day to confirm reports of dredging
operations finished by the dredges
Multnomah and Wahkiakum, and the
ranges will be re-established by to
night, marking the center of the
channel. The dredges have been
towed to the government moorings at
Linnton to lay up and undergo over
hauling in advance of the n-ew sea
son. All equipment of the fleet on
the river is assembled there with the
exception of the dredge Clatsop, which
will end her work in the estuary of
the Columbia in about ten days and
then come here for overhauling.
