THE 3IORXING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922 IS WHEAT TO - BE SENT ONEEO.WASHiNGTON Cargo for European Ports to Be Loaded Here. FLOUR ALSO IS TO GO Norwegian Motorship "Is Xow at San Francisco After Having Docked From Antwerp Trip. Included In the carg-o which the . Norwegian motorship George Wash ington will load here for her return to European ports will be 5000 tons of wheat to be shipped by the North . crn Grain & Warehouse company. There will be a shipment of about 300 tons of flour by one firm for Dublin and other consignments will probably be largely general cargo. The vessel is at San Francisco, hav ing arrived last week from Antwerp, and is looked for here early next week. Work of stowing the last of the cereal cargo of the Japanese steamer Teifuku Maru was ended yesterday at Montgomery dock, the vessel hav ing a total of 7700 tons and 756 pounds, to be exact. The amount ex ceeds a wheat cargo she carried last year from New Orleans to Germany fey 500 tons. The proportion of the Portland cargo is 6911 tons of bulk wheat and the remainder, or 789 tons and 756 pounds, is sacked. W. J. Jones & Sons, stevedores, who ha"n died the work, say additional bulk wheat could have been put aboard if necessary. The vessel will get under way at 4 o'clock this morning for the United Kingdom. The Gray-Rosen- baura company chartered the ship. There have been reports of char ters for full cargoes of wheat, but these have not been confirmed, ex porters insisting that no new busi ness has been closed for other than parcel shipments, and that most of those booked were done last month. It is believed that weakness in freights, which were said early in the week to be freely quoted at 33 shillings, will have a endency to at tract new business, yet some express the view that buyers are holding off for even lower rates. In any event, the period for any material amount of activity in wheat has passed, and only limited amounts may go forward, while interest is being centered in the new crop situ ation. Some of the new crop may be loaded at tidewater in August. MOTORSHIP DUE T03IORROW Valparaiso to Discharge General Cargo at Terminal Xo. 4.

WHITE LABOR DOMINATES Filipinos Tinkle Goodbye With Tunes of South Pacific as Square riggers Iieave for Season. Americans, Filipinos, Chinese and others mingled among 400 men who left yesterday aboard the, barks Ber lin and Levi G. Burgess for Nusha gak, Alaska, where the- Alaska-Port land Packers' association maintains salmon-canning plants. The barks, lashed on each side cl the steamer Portland, got unaer way from the North Bank dock shortly before 10 o'clock, and it is hoped to tow them from Astoria to sea Monday. In other years the crowd of can nery hands, fishermen and sailors has represented most of the races of the globe. The association was able to employ whites for much of the work this year, filled out with ori entals. As the oldtime square-riggers were backed from the dock and turned in the channel, few of the Celestials were in evidence, but Fili pinos were on the "topside," and stringed instruments tinkled good bye with tunes of the South Pacific Con and Hoga Taken. In most ways Nushagak is Isolat ed, so stores of fresh vegetables and other food were aboard and on the Berlin a cow and family of hogs were in the livestock collection. The ships carried lumber for barge and cannery repairs and all manner of material for cannery needs, as well as for refitting fishing boats and the like. The steamer Akutan, of the same flag, is to leave here next week and will carry considerable freight and a few passengers, including Fred A. Daly, superintendent for the asso ciation. Captain Thomsen of the Burgess is making his first voyage in two sea sons, having left the ship to engage for a time in other service. The Ber lin is in command of Captain Wendt and Captain Johnson has the Akutan. The Burgess was held up for a few minutes yesterday while the skipper made a demand on the Akutan for the ship's clock, alleging it had been transferred without authority and, on its delivery, he went aboard and gave tjie order to get under way. Vessels to Return In Fall. The vessels will return in the early fall, bringing, the season's pack. As the square-riggers .are fitted with wireless, their daily progress toward the northland is reported to the Port land office. In spite of being among the oldest of the "down east" ships in active service, the barks are rated good sea vessels. GASOL1XE BOAT GOES ASHORE Wipple Kuns High lTp0n Spit at Mouth of Queels Kiver.

TERMINAL CONTRflCT LET GILPIX CONSTRUCTION COM PANY LOWEST BIDDER. Completion of North Unit of No. 1 Is Limited by Dock Commis- -sion to 50 Days. To the Gilpin Construction com pany yesterday was awarded a con tract for the completion of the north unit of terminal No. 1, work on which the comm'ssion of public docks has limited to SO days. The contract was made on the basis of the lowest bid, 44,800 being the figure of the Gilpin interests. The highest bid was $63,697, filed by Robert Paysee, and others were Keller & Allen. $48,484; A. Gvthrie & Co., $53,250; Grant Smith & Co., $57,700; Northwestern Construction company, $55,233.44; Ledoux, Ledoux & Greenwood, $52,090, and Tranchell & Parelius, $49,935. The constractors are to construct additional shed structures to join one that was on the property, the roof and lower frame of which was preserved when the purchase was made, while they will enclose all sides of the shed and practically pre pare it for occupancy. The commis sion s force has rehabilitated the au tomatic sprinkler system in the old shed and will look after other in stallations of that character. In wrecking structures on the site much pipe and similar material was sal vaged which is being worked into new uses. Some was moved to ter minal No. 4. The new unit at -. terminal No. 1 is to have trackage on the south side, paralleling the slip, also on the north line and connecting with main-line tracks on North Front street. The same modern facilities available on the first unit of the terminal will be provided on the second unit and with the additional berthing space for ships, as well as the increased shed room, a considerable amount of extra freight can be accommodated. TERMINAL UNIT TO GET FILL Dredge Portland Assigned to Aid Harbor Programme. Dredging being carried on along the face of terminal No. 1 by the Columbia of the Port of Portland fleet, which is in connection with the general harbor programme to af ford a depth of 35 feet at deepwater berths, will be followed Monday by the assignment of the dredge Port land to the same Ticinity to make a fill at the new unit of the terminal adjoining the north side of the slip. It is estimated the fill will require less than- a week s work. The dipper dredge Titan will be available in less than two weeks for operation in the slip proper, as there is considerable heavy material to be moved and this cannot be done easily by one of the suction diggers. With the entire face of the terminal cleared in fr.ont of both units, as well as the slip dredged to the project depth, it is believed that the effect of the June freshet there will be small. H. F. ALEXANDER IX CITY Head of Pacific Steamship -Company en Rotite North. ' H. P. Alexander, president of the Pacific Steamship company, operating the Admiral line, was m the city for a few hours yesterday, leaving early in the afternoon for the north.

In connection with reports circulated that the Pa cific Steamship company had made an offer to the O.-w. R. & N. com pany interests for the steamer Rose City, he denied that the vessel had been acquired. CONFERENCE ON DOCK CALLED Unions and Commission to Discaes Question of Labor. VANCOUVER, Wash., April 21. (Special.) Dissatisfaction with the manner in which the Vancouver mu nicipal dock is operated, and espe cially the labor end of the enterprise, has been expressed by. members of the local longshoremen union, and Mayor Kiggins has called a meeting of the dock commission to be held tomorrow night, at which the long shoremen will present their case. The men allege that J. B. Atkin son, chairman of the dock committee, offered them a rate of 25 cents an hour for unloading cars of lumber at the dock. This is far below the standard rate, it is held, and the men refused to work for that amount. Outside help was then obtained it is declared. " . " A committee . from the men met with the mayor last night and asked that the conference be called. PORT URGED TO SHOW FIGHT Geographical Position Said to Be Cause of Competition. That geographical location is as much of a handicap to Portland ship ping as it is an advantage' because of the keener competition it invites, was the assertion of H. B. Van Duser, president of the Chamber of Com merce, in an address at the City club luncheon yesterday. He urged a pol icy of fighting spirit and warned the members of the club of the danger in resting on their arms because of the advantage favorable geography gives the city. " W. E. B. Dodson, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, pleaded for a fleet of privately owned ships for Portland as & means of protecting her shipping interests.

SMALLER PORTS BACKED MODIFICATION OF MERCHANT MARINE BILL ASKED. Specific Safeguarding of Good of Lesser Harbors and Shipping Companies Requested. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 21. Modification of the administration merchant marine bill so that it would specifically safeguard the Interests of the smaller ports and shipping companies was advocated at today's session of the joint congressional hearings on the measure by Matthew Hale of Greenville, S. C, president of the South Atlantic States associa tion. Insisting upon the adoption of an amendment which would require per petuation for five years, by either the shipping board or private companies. of trade routes, recently established from south Atlantic and gulf ports, Mr. Hale declared that unless puch a provision was added to the bill busi ness men of the south and shippers in the middle west who export their products through southern ports in preference to "a few congested" north Atlantic ports would swing away from "conditional" support of the adminis tration programme to a position of "effective" opposition. Another witness before the senate commerce and house merchant marine committees today was Theodore Brent, manager of the Mississippi Warrior barge line, who- urged con gress to clear up the "conflict in. au thority" between the Interstate com merce commission and shipping board over inland water transportation. Mr. Brent said companies operating barge and boat lines on interior water routes would rather be under the jurisdic tion of the shipping board than sub ject to interstate commerce commis sion control. "pon't leave us in the dark as to where we stand," the witness de- blared, adding that a danger of joint supervision was that in obeying the regulations of one a line is apt to dis regard the orders of the other body. Mr. Brent suggested the addition of "classifying" amendments to the sub sidy bill to do away with the clash between the two regulatory bodies over proportional rates, of Inland water routes. SANDS BUOY TO BE SHIFTED Mark Will Be Moved to South Side of Channel May 1. Recognizing the importance of the the same time not minimizing that of shipping, Robert Warrack, super intendent of the 17th lighthouse dis trict, has decided to shift what is commonly referred to as the Miller sands buoy, the first aid located above Harrington point, so that it may be taken out of the path net fisher men follow in making drafts. The change will provide for moving the mark to the south side of the channel and becomes effective May 1. The understanding is that at the conclusion of the fishing season the buoy will be returned to its original position. HAWLEY LAUNCH COMPLETED Christening Ceremony to Be Held 'at Astoria Monday.
