14 TITE MOJVSTSG OKEGONIAK, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1923 PORTLAND SEEKS COMBINATION SHIPS Federal Board Requested to Allocate Craft. PASSENGER LINE OBJECT Business Interests for Three Big for Oriental Make Appeal Steamships Service. Formal request for the allocation of three combination freight and passenger Fteamers of the "502" type, two of which, the President Harrison and President Hayes, are available at San Francisco, was made yeslerday by Portland export ers and importers in a telegram to the shipping hoard. Assignment of the vessels would provide a fast service from Portland by way of the most important oriental ports to Manila, and it is estimated that at least a 30-day schedule could be maintained. Frank I,. Shull of the Portland Flouring Mills company, who. with William W. Payne of the Pacific Export Lumber company. J. W. Ga nong of Kerr. Gifford & Co.. Frank Spencer of Allen & Lewis, and Ray mond Wilcox of the Wilcox-Hayes company constitute a committee di recting the negotiations, sent the telegraphic request to F. W. Relyea at San Francisco, director of the di vision of operation on the Pacific coast, a copy being given J. W. Crichton, Portland representative of the division of operation. Many Si&n t'ommunical ion. More than a dozen firms were represented.among the signers and more? were included in a communica tion, with a copy of the telegram, which was mailed. The telegram was as follows: The undersipnej representing pr-ncipal import and export merchants of tins dis trict, mrtke format application for asaign m?nt of threw "HtJ-t pe comcina t ion steamers for opeiatioil in present Japan, Shanghai. Honkcng. Manila berth serv ice, to give approximate 11-day service.

We believe the port that can produce local cargo necessary to support a line during tills period of readjustment will be a real and recognized factor, and unless an American line is abU to take this advantage it will. In our opinion, be takon by a foreign line that can weather the storm Just as well, if not better, tnn American flag ships during present period of readjustment tor reasons well known to yourseit. Cargo is more of a fac.ot than passen gers, because all pons can handle : passenger business to more or less equal j . . Ti.T i ah ia: irom over land territory where we can expect a majoritv of our l&ssengers. are equal to all Pacific coast ports, and rail service as tespects time and number of trains is approximately equal to all Pacific coast ports. We request the shipping bo'trd to exercise the power g.ven them under mar.ne act so as- to materially assist in estaolishing a combination freight and ! passenger line out of Portland for the American flag by the allocation request ed, as it will assist us tu meeting com petition in neighboring ports where fast serv.j is had. It will be much easier to meet foreign competition if American ships tre on the ground first, rather than try ra take It away from foreigneis after they are intrenched. Will you kindly arrange for this applicat.on to be placed in hands of Commissoners tienson. Lissner and Chan.beriain and advise us earliest possible board's cu-ciston. omniinnionrrs Are Impressed. At a hearing conducted here in July Commissioners Chamberlain, Lissner and Benson are said to have been impressed by -presentations made in support of a fast combina tion service from Portland and it was indicated that if a request was made for vessels it would be ac corded serious consideration. It is felt that considerable pioneering will be necessary to re-establish passenger connections out of this port, but it is not questioned but that "502" ships can be successfully maintained. In not' making suggestions as tj how the vessels may be operated, the committee felt it is a question that should be left to the board. i ne present ireight service is directed by the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company. From San Fran cisco and Puget sound combination ships are operated to the far east and strides made here in the devel opment of business with the orient are taken as abundant proof that sufficient support can be given the faster and larger model of vessels. NEW DOCK HELD NECESSARY Improvement at Westport, Grays Harbor, Planned. ABERDEEN". Wash.. Aug. 29. (Special.) Grays harbor is losing $1,000,000 worth of business a year because Westport has no adequate dock, residents of the south beach town told Aberdeen merchants and W. H. Peters, Grays harbor port engineer, yesterday. They so im pressed the Aberdeen men during a tour of inspection of the present dock and proposed eites for a new one that a port commission survey will be made this week and the county and the port will be asked to finance construction of a new dock or repair the old one. The Westport men declared that if a new dock is built the follow ing benefits could be expected: Almost half the salmon now packed on the Columbia river would be brought to Grays harbor. The Columbiai pack during the season which just closed was valued at more than 3,500,000. A cold storage plant would be erevted at Westport to handle sardines and halibut, giving the hrtrbor district a new fish industry. Salmon and clam packing at Westport. now handicapped by lack of proper facilities, would expand several fold in volume. A creamery and cheese factory could be built, with the assurance of cheap freight rates by water. The cranberry industry, culture of other berries and vegetable gardening each would receive a great impetus. Aberdeen to I'se Xew Crane. ABERDEEN. Wash.. Aug. 29. (Special.) After a tryout today and final checkup on lines and general working efficiency tomorrow morn ing, the new loading crane of the Port of Grays harbor, installed at a cost of approximately J30.000. is ex pected to start work on the port piers tomorrow.

B. J. Fotheringham of the Ocean Motorship company, said yesterday no change was contemplated in the Portland-California service. in which the motorships Babinda and Boobvalla are operated, while T. B Watson of the Pacific Steamship company, said no official informa tion had reached his office of the reported transaction.

The motorship Chal lamba. now loading at St. Helens for Hawaii, belongs to the same flag. SHIP .TAKES UNIQUE CARGO Fresli Hood River Strawberries Shipped to Europe in Kegs. Included in shipments with which the British motorship Loch Katrine was dispatched early yesterday for Kuropeati ' ports were 300 kegs of Hood River strawberries, especially packed in the fresh state.

Next of the flag to report here will be trf Edward Luckenbach. due Saturday, with 900 tons of inbound consignments. She is slightly behind schedule, because of having been drydocked at San Francisco to have her propeller replaoed, the former wheel having been, lost at sea. The Julia Luckenbach, due Mon day, has 568 tons of cargo, and the Jacob Luckenbach. coming from the gulf and expected the same day. has cargo of 1361 tons. Willapa Harbor Buoy Loose. As the Willapa Harbor entrance gas and whistling buoy was not in position yesterday, notice was sent out last night to vessels in the vicinity. The moorings of the buoy had parted as the crew of a tender was hauling on them in order to shackle an overhauled buoy to the chain. It was necessary for the tender to return to the Tongue Point station and take aboard a new anchor and chain before the reconditioned aid could be placed, which will probably be done to day.

ATLANTIC - GULF RETIRES OFFICES OF I.VTERCOASTAIi COMPANY ARE CLOSED. Libel Proceedings by Government to Satisfy Claims Result In "Abandonment of Service. Instructions to close the Portland office of t"he Atlantic, Gulf & Paci fic Steamship Corporation, tomor row, signalizing the termination of the mterco.tstal service of that or ganization, yesterday reached H. T. Anning, Portland agent, from the San Francisco office. The move is the result of the shipping board having instituted libel proceedings against the corp oration in connection with money alleged to be due on six steamers purchased from the ' government, which was followed by the appoint ment of receivers. Vessels of the line were halted at various ports because of the legal action, but it was understood bonds were to be filed to satisfy the shipping board claims so that the vessels might be operated, under the receivership and the service continued. One of the first steps on the part of the corporation was to insure the protection of cargo aboard ves sels that had been tied up tempor arily, and it is said that will be taken care of. The service was maintained with six carriers and recently three additional ships were announced as purchased, but that transaction is understood not to have been consummated, as a consquence of the action of the shipping board. ' Mr. Anning said yesterday that records of the Portland office will be packed and sent to San Francis co, while office equipment will be stored here pending determination as to the disposition of the effects of the line.

Contract , Ordered Executed by War Department Work to Begin In 2 0 Days. Acceptance by the war department of a bid by M. Barde & Sons to re move the wreck of the British steamer Welsh Prince from the Co lumbia river, near Altoona, where the vessel sank the night of May 28 after being in collision with the American steamer Iowan, was re ceived yesterday by Major Richard Park, corps of engineers, United States army, and a contract was rrdered executed that will be dated September 1. It is provided that work will be begun within 20 days thereafter and completed in 360 days. Under the terms of the. contract M. Barde & Sons are to receive the salvage as well as being paid $50,000. On the removal of the after half of the ship, which is partly in line with the former range, one-half of the contract figure may be payable. Cargo and parts of the vessel re moved are either to be stored until the completion of the work or their 'sale permitted under an arrange ment witlv the district officer, cer tified checks to be deposited in lieu of the property, sold though when all portions of the after part of the ship are out of the way salvage per taining to that section of the vessel is to be released. The channel must be cleared to a dpth of 35 feet at low water and' any parts not saved for sale are either to be dumped at sea or de posited tn some deep depression in the tijver so they cannot become a menaoe to navigation. A bond in the sum of $100,000 is to be executed by the contractor to insure the work being carried out to the satisfaction of the government. When the ship was sunk a deck load of lumber was floated free, while considerable equipment that could be reached on deck was. re moved. The call for bids issued by the government was to the effect that 1,600,000 feet of lumber and 4000 tons of steel, ail of which was destined for the orient, remained in the hold and that it was estimated to have cost at the time of loading about $297,000. CHANNEL WORK PROGRESSES Excavation in Lower Coos Bay Will Be Completed Soon. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Aug. 29. (Special.) Rock excavation in the lower bay is proceeding well and the last of the blasting on the fedge of rock which will straighten the channel will be finished by October 1, Resident Engineer Cole believes. The broken rock, however, it is thought, cannot be thoroughly re moved before next February or March. The reef that .is being re moved was discovered some years ago when the port of . Coos bay financed a 25-foot channel from the Smith mill to Charleston bay. When the rock channel is finished it will save mariners considerable time in navigating, as it will cut out round-about curve. Ranchers will benefit from the disposition of the rock, it is said for a large portion of it will be placed on South inlet. Two dredges, the Coos and No. 2, are working on the work at'present. SENATOR'S PURSER MOVES H. O. Johnson Will Transfer to Seattle Run H. O. Johnson, for years with the Admiral line and for a long period purser of the steamer Senator, will not be aboard when that ship leaves at 10 o'clock this morning for Call fornia ports, having shifted his sea bag to the steamer Admiral Schley, on the Puget -sound-California, route because of the fact the family home is at Seattle. H. C. Uldenberg of the Matson Navigation company and formerly a purser on the Admiral line, has arrived to make he trip on the Senator and he will be re lieved by Clarence Ahem, purser on the Admiral Schley. Mr. Johnson has made numerous strong friends, and with Captain Hall and Dick Martin, steward, the Senator has maintained a popular place wit'h the traveling public.
