THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1922 14 1 WILL GET SOil MM SHIPS Craft Bought From Federal Government Assigned. USES NOT DETERMINED M. Barde & Sons, Who Are Among Purchasers, ExpecV About 25 Steamers Here. Of the 50 to 69 wooden steamers of the shipping: board fleet of 226 vessels purchased Tuesday by a Pacific, 'coast syndicate for $750,000, that are to be . brought from the east coast, perhaps 20 to ?5 vessels will be sent to Portland, according to M. Barde & Sons, who are Inter ested with the Fleicnhackers and others of San Francisco in the trans action. Plans for the operation of the car riers are not fully developed, the head of the Barde organization said yesterday, but as the terms of the sale permit the operation of the steamers on other than regularly es tablished trade routes, he said, it was calculated there were abundant uses to which the ships can be put Some Ships Ballt Here. - In (he fleet purchased, which is held et Claremont, Vs., and Orange and Beaumont, Tex., are many that were constructed in the Oregon dis trict and perhaps some of those will be among those selected for Pacific coast operation. Such ships as will not be operated, because of their condition and ex pense of overhauling, may bo '"dis mantled, but the Impression here is that nearly all of them will be placed in service, though some time will be required in which to find fields for them. It is believed that some of those In the group of purchasers are pre pared to take part of the tonnage at once and place it in active service, and in other cases changes will be made so as better to fit the ves sels for carrying timbers and long lengths of lumber as demanded in the Pacific coast trade. Coal May Be Carried. Possibilities of coal business have been discussed and other avenues are under consideration that are construed by the government as not within the scope of the restriction as to regularly established trade routes. The Barde and Fleischhacker in terests were the principals in the purchase earlier in the year of un completed hulls in Lake Washing ton, on North Portland harbor and at Alameda, and various plans for their future have been rumored, even to fitting some of the hulls with oil-burning engines. The only move as to the Portland vessels has been to draw three of them from the fleet to be used in conjunction with salvage operations at the scene of the wreck of the steamer Welsh Prince, the contract for which M. Barde & Sons also hold. RIVER TRAFFIC HAMPERED Navigators Expect Rivers and Harbors Bill to Remedy Evils. , Steamboat operators, particularly those engaged in towing log rafts, are awaiting developments In con nection with the signing of the rivers and harbors bill by President Harding, which is looked for short ly, because of authorization given for the removal of two dams and a dike in Willamette slough. The works, which originally were undertaken as improvements in be half of navigation, are held now to hamper the free movement of steam boats with tows, because of the cur rent created. For years steamers handling passengers and freight be tween Portland and St. Helens and Rainier have used the slough route, being able to overcome the current, but with towboats the flow is too strong at ordinary stages of water. Another point is that log rafts are drawn from the lower part of ttie slough and it is necessary at pres ent for steamers to tow them to the main river by way of St. Helens. While the new bill grants author ity for removing the works, funds are not yet provided for. SHIP TO TAKE PASSENGERS Danish Vessel to Have Room for Dozen to Trip to Europe.

Columbia Do Mille's "Nice People." Blue Mouse "Monte Cristo.'l Heilig Florence Vidor in "Dusk to Dawn." Hippodrome Tom Mix in "The Fighting Streak." Circle Jack Holt in "The Man Unconquerable." (SELDOM does it happen that star can follow one nationally r- famous screen success with an other even greater. But It has re mained for Norma Talmadge to achieve that in "The Eternal Flame,"" the new attraction at the Liberty theater. None can deny the heights to which she carries Bal sac's "Duchesse de Langeals," mov ing untouched through the romance and intrigue of the old French courts. Yet she ultimately finds herself regarded merely as a toy by her husband, who wagers upon her faith with just about as much feeling as he would upon a horse. Many telling effects are produced in this excelent photoplay. Its re production of court life at its most picturesque period Is signally dis tinctive and harmoniously achieved. The massive and artistic ballroom, for instance, is just one of the many elaborate sets in this picture. It is far superior to any that has been shown in some time. The story concerns itself with a wife of purity transformed by despair into a court beauty and heartless coquette, with all Paris at her feet, who gave nothing but relentlessly exacted heart s blood. And an iron man of battles, un versed in women and love. In a trice she turned him into a violent traffic manager, -and Harry Larsen, agent, the port commission today ordered the dry cargo stored at the Spokane street terminal in bond shifted to the commission's warehouse at Stacy street. This is to make space for storage of salmon and apples. Room is being made for 1 80,000 boxes of supples, of wmcn it was stated, jimmkh nave oeen contracted.

Two Japanese Craft Arrive to Join Wheat Fleet and Another Completes Cargo. Engagement of the new British steamer Benvorlich by the Gray Rosenbaut Grain company to load either in British Columbia, on Puget sound or at Portland in October, the arrival of the Japanese steamers Karachi Maru and Turi Maru to join the wheat fleet and the completion of the bulk grain cargo of the Jap anese steamer Tokufuku Maru, were features in the cereal transportation sphere yesterday. The fact the Benvorlich was taken with provision for loading in British Columbia, the option being given without c change in the freight, is expected to be followed by other engagements on the same basis. One reason assigned is influences ex erted on the movement of wheat from the interior at American northwest ports because of the railroad labor difficulties, while on the British Columbia side conditions are different. The time occupied in getting the bulk cargo of the Tokufuku Maru aboard at terminal No. 4, amounting to 765-0 tons, was four days and four hours and while not a record, is said to' be creditable. The vessel sailed in the afternoon for Europe. The Gray-Rosenbaam interests have the Japanese steamer Tofuku Maru lying there for bulk wheat and an other carrier in their fleet in port Is the steamer Orient City. The steamer Yuri Maru, which re ported yesterday from Kobe, is un der charter to the Northern Grain & Warehouse company, which has the steamer "Victoria Maru here for wheat as well. The Karachi Maru, which arrived yesterday from Mu roran will get cargo from Kerr, Gifford & Co., and others in the river for that company include the Anten, Frogner, Luise Nielsen and Stathis. The Northwest Wheat Growers association has the- Japa nese steamer Baltimore Maru, also at terminal No. 4 for bulk wheat. NEW YORK MAN VISITS PORT S.
