American - Hawaiian Com
pany Adds Nine Ships.
PORTLAND GETS BENEFIT
Fortnightly Trips to Be Made Be
tween This City and Balti
more, Beginning Aug. 19.
Bsta'blishment of a fortnightly
service from Baltimore to Portland
and other Pacific coast ports, also a
monthly schedule from the Gulf re
gion, with the addition of nine big
carriers to its intercoastal fleet, is
the latest advance of the American
Hawaiian steamship company. The
first steamer from Baltimore sails
August 19 and from New Orleans
August 26.
With the vessels already operat
ing: in the line between Portland and
north Atlantic coast harbors under
that flag, as well as the European
service, the additional tonnage pro
vided for, it is estimated, will mean
the arrival of an American-Hawaiian
Bhip here on an average of about
l&very four days.
Plans Long Considered.
"Plans for the Baltimore and Gulf
services have been under way for
a. lengthy period, but their inaugu
ration was not announced until the
company was in a position to im
press vessels of the size and type
best suited to the trade conditions,"
taid K. D. Dawson, general man
ager of the Columbia-Pacific Ship
ping, company, Oregon agent for the
American-Hawaiian, on the receipt
t the official advices yesterday.
There has been a detailed study
I tad e of traffic between the east
ern territories and the Pacific coast
end the directorate is fully con
, vinced as to its permanency, this
jiot being a departure that has any
ibearing on the prevailing- rate situ
ation. "The American-Hawaiian service
should mean much to Portland, since
It is the development of the oldest
service serving this city and began
in 186S, when American clipper
ships, the sailers that made history,
brought Atlantic cargo around the
Horn to the Columbia river. It was
on those vessels that steel found its
way here for pioneer railroad con
struction and other freight was car.
ried that is linked with the early
days of Portland.
Company Keeps Pace.
"With the transition t steam
tonnage the company continued to
keep pace with trade demands, sub
stituting oil as fuel when that was
thoroughly tried on steamers, just
as recently it 'has taken to the con
struction of big, modern motorships.
Prom the route around the Horn it
changed to speed deliveries via the
Tehuantepec route and with the
completion of the canal followed the
Ilag there. Before Portland's trade
Was of great proportion as regards
the water route to the east, service
was maintained by this company and
""Its efforts today are even of greater
concern to afford the Portland mar.
ket fast and dependable service with
every port and country reached via
us lines."
The steamer Georgian ds to start

steamer Sudbury will be the first in
the gulf trade, being due to leave
Mobile August 19 and making other
ioaaing points on her way to New
Orleans. Page & Jones have been
named agents at Mobile, with the
Richard Meyer company at New Or
leans, while the company will oper
ate tnrough its own office .at Balti
more. .
As the influential United
lean, lines is the controlling factor in
me American-Hawaiian organiza
tion, it is asserted the matter of
ships to take care of intercoastal
tonnage, regardless of trade devel
cpments, is of no concern since the
, iparent company has carriers on At
lantic routes that can be fitted" Into
the canal trade, while its resources
insure new ships being built or

Rate War Brought On.
It was just a month ago vested
day that the American-Hawaiian
announced its withdrawal from th
MLercoascai conlerence, that- its
Tariff was being revised and that
rates of standard competitors would
be met, a move that brought on the
prevailing rate war. The Lucken
toach line followed with announce
ment of rate reductions, anil re
cently it carried the war into the
sail, trom which it has operated- a
ervice to the Pacific ports for some
time. As the Isthmian line was not
actually a member of the confer
ence, the fight for freight in the
Pacific coast-north Atlantic field
was regarded mainly as between
xne two rormer conference fleets,
- wuiie Liie now move in tbe invasion
of the Baltimore field and the gulf
is viewed as promising the keenest
sort or competition.

unson or Mew York, vice-president
or cne -.merican-.nawaila-n, with H.
w. poett of ban Francisco, a mem
ter of the firm of Williams. Dia
mond & Co., Pacific coast managers
for the line, is thought to have had
a bearing on the extension of the
. services.

Have Plenty oi Gear and
Transports for Cargo.
Growth in commerce, with a
change in stevedoring through
which a greater number of long-1
shoremen are worked during the
day,' to eliminate overtime, and .the
opening of the new unit at terminal
No. 1 In another week have caused
such a drain on dock equipment,
especially trucks and tractors util
ized in handling cargo, that the
commission of public docks yester
day authorized the purchase and
building of new equipment that will
cost nearly $10,000.
For the additional unit at termi
nal No. 1, which will be almost as
large as tbe first dockshed, there
will be piperacks for the trucks and
trailers, gangplanks,, carjumpers
and other gear, as well as the
trucks, while four tractors are
specified. Some two and four wheel
trucks and trailers will be added
to the gear at other terminals.
On the suggestion of J. H. Bur
gard, chairman of the commission,
which was made in connection with
consideration of more office space,
the operating committee will in
vestigate the prospect of leasing the
former administration building of
the 'Willamette Iron and Steel
works, in North Front street, across
the street from the new unit at
terminal No. 1. The demand for
office room from intercoastal lines
using the terminal is increasing,
and the commission plans giving up
its dock offices at the south end of
the terminal and building new ones
in warehouse B. It Is reasoned that
If the property opposite can be
leased there will be abundant office
space for the commission and steam
ship interests for a long period.
Additional electric wiring for the
new unit was awarded to the Coast
Steel & Machinery company,' on
bid of $399-0 and agreement to fin
ish the work in 35 days. There were
five other proposals received.
Albers Bros. Milling company was
granted authority to make roadway
repairs beneath the Broadway
bridge approach, where an entrance
is maintained into their main dock.
The company agreed to get rid of
considerable old work beneath the
bridge, which remained, from a
dock formerly located at the site of
the bridge approach.
The commission received and filed
a copy of a resolution passed by the
council on July 19 backing the stand
of the commission against consoli
dating with the Port of Portland
commission.;
There was considerable discus
sion relative to negotiations with
the General Petroleum company for
leasing the ft-W. R, & N. fuel oil
tank, adjacent to terminal No. 4,
and is leased to the commission. The
company Intends to enter the com
mercial oil field here and in addi
tion to leasing the tank would pay
the commission for the use of dock
facilities for tank steamers. .
