21 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1922 BRISKER MOVEWIENT ON CARGO EXPECTED Furness-Prince Line Revises Schedule for Its Fleet. RATES BEING STABILIZED Shipments From Portland Expect ed to Assume Large Proportions in Trade With Europe. Anticipating a brisk movement of cargo from Portland and the coast to ward Europe this fall, the Furness Prince line Is rearranging its sched ule so that August ana September de partures for European ports are pro vided for, with following steamers that are yet to be scheduled. Announcement was made yesterday by Statter & Johnstone, Portland agents, that the British steamer Welsh Prince, now in the harbor load ing lumber for oriental ports, will be returned from the far east so as to call at Portland to load European cargo and should be dispatched on that voyage August 10. She will be followed September 10 by the Ocean Prince. Bordeaux Cargoes Included. Th steamers are to load shipments for United Kingdom ports, Havre and Antwerp, Bordeaux consignments be ing accepted with the proviso that they be trans-shipped at Havre. The Ocean Prince got away from Puget sound for the orient last month, leav ing Tacoma April 21. Grain exporters say freights for August and September, while not generally quoted with reference to Portland loading, though said to be open on Puget sound, are from 35 to 40 shillings, with going freights 32s d to 35 shillings. Those who de pended on spot freights going as low as 30 shillings are said to be facing disappointment, and it is indicated not much space is being offered even at 32s 6d.' most lines endeavoring to book on a basis of 35 shillings. Charters Are More Active. The taking of a few ships during the last two weeks for full cargoes from Portland offered the first fea ture In the charter market for a long period and more tonnage is reported mixed, but unannounced. Rates at which the carriers were fixed were not given out, but it is assumed they are under the 35-shiliing mark be cause of the range of freights quoted by the regular lines on parcel ship ments.

CANARIES RIDE OS STKAMEB llulli Alexander t arries Birds on Voyage- South. SAX DIEGO. May 9. Passengers aboard the Admiral liner Ruth Alex ander on her last trip south from Seattle and Victoria. B. C. tell of the unusual spectacle of a large .lumber of wild canaries lauding on the liner when she was about 45 miles south-v.-est of San Pedro. Several of the Tr.irds left the vessel as soon as she berthed at the municipal pier, some of them flying inside the docksheds and a few being caught by dock workers. The arrival of the Ruth Alexander on her first trip to this port, which in the future is to bo a regular call, was made a gala event. The vessel, which is now the largest operating in coastwise service either on the Atlantic or the Pacific, was thrown open to inspection by tho public, and at night a banquet was given aboard ! at which the mayor and prominent citizens were present.

Increased bookings of lumber for the Atlantic market were report ed by steamship operators, and some were inclined to the view that there mav be a stiffening of rates before long. Shingles are likewise forming an important item of eastbound car goes these days. FLOOD PROSPECTS CONSIDER!) Waterfront Interests Concerned Regarding Rise of River. The Willamette river having passed the 11-foot stage yesterday morning, some of the water-front interests be gan to cogitate on probabilities of the water reaching lower docks and base ments during the next few weeks. The commission of public docks decided to shift its storage for news print paper to the upper level at terminal No. 4, not moving paper from the lower deck, as that is . expected to be loaded aboard vessels immediately. Such lots as are received until the freshet period passes will be landed above as a precaution. With the official flood stage at 15 feet, there is little concern as to how high early snow water may bring the stage, yet with warm weather fully due in the interior, dock men are lay ing plans for meeting conditions should the river rise rapidly.

FOGY II COMMERCE GETS NOWHERE NOW Modern Facilities Essential to Business Success.- SCIENCE SERVING TRADE t"p-to-Date Appliances Have Ef fected Revolution and Proved Worth in Industry. BY RICHARD SPILXiANE. (Copyright by the Public Ledger Company. Published by Arrangement.) PHILADELPHIA, May 9. (Special.) One of tne great banks ot Wall street, in a current advertisement, pays high tribute to the telephone. It says: "Today Dr. Bell's telephone is, to gether with the telegraph, the most essential tool in the conduct of busi ness that the business world has had laid at its disposal It is difficult to consider how commerce and in dustry could have developed to their present high-powered and high-speed organization without this momentous contribution of science." And yet there are old fogies ot finance and business who fight every thing that is new or progressive. Within a few doors of the bank re ferred to there is an insurance and trust company which, until recently, refused to have a telephone in its establishment, a typewriter, a me chanical calculating machine or elec tric lights. It conducted its affairs exactly as did the founders of the institution. Not only that, but it would not advertise; wouldn't tell people it was in business, but left it for the public to discover. Ticker Somehow Tolerated. There is a banker in New York, once very prominent but not so prominent now, who represented a great foreign banking house. He in sisted that all his foreign correspond ence should be in long-hand. Every thing in his establishment except the stock ticker was old-fashioned, of the same type and character as his father used. Somehow he had to come to tolerate the ticker. Possibly he couldn't do without it. Another banker, far more progres sive, represents the great foreign banking group today. The first structure in America in which an elevator was installed still stands. It has an elevator, not the original car, but a very old one. The owner of the property is proud of the history connected with the build ing. But he hasn't improved the structure, and nearby buildings, newer and with more conveniences, command higher rentals. Old Ideas Hang On. Salesmen of multigraphing ma chines, typewriters, modern office ap pliances and calculating devices re port that in not a few instances in some of the older cities of the east they encounter staid old business men who are gracious in their greet ings and .who watch them with in terest as they demonstrate what their articles will do, but who always explain that their fathers or grand fathers conducted the business just as they are conducting it, and much as they appreciate the kindness of the visitor, they see no reason for changing their methods. The sailing vessel and the stage coach probably suited their fathers and grandfathers. Would the son or grandson travel by them today rather than by steamship, or railroad, or automobile? Their fathers and their grand fathers probably didn't advertise. There was no need for it or little need for it in their day. The telephone, the telegraph, the steamship, the typewriter, the auto mobile, the mechanical calculating machines are products of America. Men in business who do not avail themselves of the proved improve ments are doomed to see their busi nesses die of dry rot. Publicity Kssential Sow. Times change and the business that does not keep abreast of the times withers. No business can broaden fully with out publicity. The man in business who does not appreciate this fact is as dense or' as obstinate as the offi cers of that life insurance and trust company which was one of the first in the field, but which never got anywhere because it fought against accepting the telephone, the electric light, the typewriter and everything new, including advertising. One of the m03t important busi ness gatherings of recent times as sembles in Philadelphia tomorrow. It is that of the foreign trade council. merica cannot prosper as it should without foreign trade. It must use the best and most improved tools of international commerce intelligently, fully and earnestly. It is an an achronism that there are somo men who cannot see the tremendous im portance of foreign trade to the United States just as it is an an achronism that some men still see all business as it tnis were inc sc of kerosene and not of electricity. SHIP AGENCY IS CHANGED OREGON-PACIFIC COMPANY TO HANDLE WILLIAMS LINE. Vive Vessels in Coastal Service Will He Increased by One .More Big Carrier. Designation of the Oregon-Pacific company as ag-ent ior the Williams Steamship company in the Port and Columbia river territory was made yesterday by John W. Chapman. Pa cifie coast manager of the Williams line, who is In the city from San Francisco. The ilen has operated In the intercoastal trade out of Portland for 15 months, and the five vessels in service are to be joined by another, yet unnamed, which will depart from New York June 15. The next of the fleet to call will be the Wilipolo. which was scheduled to get away from San Francisco last night, after having been drydocked to ship a new tailshaft and propeller, her wheel having been lost at sea and she had to be towed in. The vessel has approximately SOO tons of freight for Portland, and will be followed by the motorship Kennecott, due in about ten days. It is said the company is casting about for a new name with which to rechristen its latest acquisition. The policy has been to combine the first syllable of Williams with the name of some game, the carriers so desig nated to date being the Wilipolo. Willsolo, Willfaro and Willhilo. and the Kennecott is the sole exception because of being the only motorshlp in the line. The line haB been repre sented In this territory by A. C. Cal lan. The Oregon-Pacific company was established at "Portland in January, 1919, and In addition to the Williams line it Is agent for the Toyo Risen Kaisha fleet, which operated between the orient, Portland and the west coast of South America; Holland American line and Royal Mail Steam Packet company, in a Joint service between European ports and the Pa cific; the Charles Nelson company, the latter being in the Oregon-California trade, and the Columbia Navigation company, maintaining a service be tween Portland and Oregon ports. PORT WORK SAVES ROCK TAKEN FROM HARBOR STRENGTHENS DIKING. Dredges Are Employed in Taking Sediment From Various Points to Relieve Channels. In shouldering a cost of 1 a yard for the removal of 37,000 cubic yards of hardpan and boulders in the vicin ity of the Montgomery dock property, on the lower east side, the Por of Portland commission has been en abled to utilize the material to good account in the rock work of dikes on the Columbia river, and figuring the material on a basis of $2 a yard, which was paid for part of that re quired, it is felt the result was highly profitable. The dredge Titan, one of the dipper type, was employed on the task as it was impossible for one of the suction design to be used. The removal ot the hardpan and boulders was essen tial in connection with the harbor dredging programme, so the charge of $1 a yard would have been faced regardless of the demand for rock for dikes. So, in off-hand calculations of the port's force, the expenditure stands, but against it is the gain of $2 a yard in the rock work. The Titan has finished the Montgomery dock job and is released. Owing to a necessity for shifting shore discharge lines at the fill under way for the Northern Pacific Ter minal company, in the Guild's lake district, the dredge Tualatin has been shifted from the west channel and is engaged in clearing sediment from the west side of the main channel, above the St. Johns bridge of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railroad. The dredge will be returned to the west-side channel project shortly. The dredge Columbia is working down stream from the St. Johns ferry toward terminal No. 4 and the Wil lamette is yet at lower Postoffice bar, widening the cut there. The dredge Portland, which is mak ing a fill for the new unit at ter minal No. 1, is expected to finish the task tomorrow or Friday and then will shift into the upper harbor to clear sediment in front of the Inman Poulsen lumber plant. Ground Floor Offices Taken. Arrangements have been made by the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific to shift its Portland office from the Title & Trust building to ,the Board of Trade, space having been leased on the ground floor near the headquarters of the Merchants Exchange. Aside from lines engaged in the passenger traae, me tendency of steamship organizations ha a been to maintain locations above the ground floor. The departure of the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific is the result of plans under consideration for the last few weeks. Marine Notes. The steamer Cape Henry, of the At lantic. Gulf & Pacific nne. wnicn is uur May 21 has aboard more than 600 tons of blacksmithing coal and coke for Portland delivery, while there is some of the fuel destined for California ports.

Scheme Laid Bfetore Council of Churches by Official of Epis copal Diocese of State. A practical use for the old battle ship Oregon, which citizens of this state desire to have permanently lo cated In Portland waters, is proposed by the Episcopal church. It is to use the battleship for a floating headquarters for seamen in harbor. The project recently was laid be fore the Portland Council of Churches by John Lethaby, executive secretary for the diocese of Oregon, and received consideration, although no definite action was taken owing to the state officials not yet having acted on the matter of obtaining an appropriation required by the government for main tenance of the battleship. Meanwhile, definite steps are being taken by officials of the Episcopal church to re-establish the Seamen's Church Institute of America branch that formerly was active in looking after the sailors' welfare in Portland. Rev. "William P.
