The British steamer Ariadne Irene,
from Boston, and the Japanes
steamer Tenpaisan Maru, the latter
having arrived in the United King

confirmation of such engagements.
The British steamers Swainsby,
from England, and Largo Law, from
Iquique, also the Norwegian Bteamer
Sagaland, from the orient, were
mentioned as late fixtures. Another,
the Japanese steamer Shinbu Maru,
credited to the Wilcox, Hayes com
pany, was not confirmed, though
she may be listed for Vancouve

Arrangements to Be Made to Book
Cargo and for Passengers.'
Following the steamer West No
tus, due Tuesday, the President
Hayes, the first of the "602" type
to De commissioned in the fleet be
tween the Pacific coast and the east
coast of South America, will be
rendy to sail from Portland about
January 10. according to informs,,
V tion reaching the Portland office of
A. M. Gillespie, Inc.', agents for the
Swayne & Hoyt service. The West
Notus will load about 300,000 feet of
lumber here 'and take more of the
material on Grays harbor for the re
turn voyage.
it is thought the sailing date for
the President Hayes is dependable
and arrangements will be made for
hooking cargo and taking care of
inquiries for passage. It was first
proposed to have the vanguard of
the new service here next month,
but with the President Harrison
temporarily on the Los Angeles
Honolulu run and the Susquehanna
in the east, the later date was
deemed more dependable.

From Liverpool to Kobe there are
no water terminal arrangements
and equipment to excel those at
Portland, while an apparent deter
mination to maintain clean docks,
to eliminate fire hazards and Avoid
unsanitary complications, coupled
with the general port organization
In the Interest of permanent com
merce, makes the city stand out
prominently among the harbor3 of
the world.
This opinion -was expressed yes
terday by Captain P. Watson of
Kobe, who formerly sailed the seas
in various types of ships, and is at
present managing director of
Nickel & Lyons, Ltd., stevedores and
warehousemen. Here on his way
to the Atlantic side on a trip to
study ports and modern cargo in
stauations, Captain Watson sough
an inspection of Portland's prin
cipal terminals, No. 4. where off
shore business is handled, and No.
1, . reserved mainly for the inter
coastal trade. Accompanying Cap
tain Watson ort his mission is Neil
Laidlaw, manager of the Americas
department of the Kobe establ'sh
ment, and witti Harry L. Hudson
general manager of the port's Join
traffic bureau, and G. B. Hegardt,
chief engineer of the commission of
publio docks, the terminals were in
spected.
Captain Watson first saw Port
land more than 40 years ago from
tne deck of a square-rigger and he
was Inclined yesterday to contrast
nis. impressions then with what h
saw yesterday. Even into corners
of the dock he peeped and the ab
sence of the usual debris provoked
comment on the lessening" of fire
dangers and the insuring of more
healthful conditions. The methods
of handling cargo and berthing
snips ana tne general system wer
lauded. Freight in sheds, trackage
connections and such details caught
nis eye.
The skipper knew Mr. Hudson
having met him in the orient, and
no uarraiej now Portland was
among the best-known norts with
Japanese Interests. This he credited
largely to the efforts of W. O. Tait
foreign traffic agent for the nort
Dureau. jtie called on J. H. Burgard,
cnairman of the dock commission
and spoke of his impressions . here
ana included praise for the commis
sion's success in meeting trade de
veiopments, taking occasion to men
tion the practical gains that were
attriDuted to Mr. Hegardt and Cap
tain Jack Speier and the forces
under them. The visitors left in
the afternoon for California ports
and will proceed around to the
Atlantic side.
to discharge steel slate and Imib, ma
terial.
The steamer Frank D. Stout moved
from the Eastern & Western mill to
that of the West Oregon Lumber com
pany yesterday and left last night for
San Francisco with a full cargo. The
steairor Santlam proceeded, from the
Eastern & Western mill to St Helens
last night.
The steamer Rose City, Captain Mac

Japs Walt Harbor Improvement.
HOQTJIAM, Wash Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) Japanese ship operators are
watching channel and bar dredging
on Grays harbor with much interest,
according to Frank, Hill, manager of
the Twin Harbor Stevedoring & Tug
company. As soon aa thev. are con
fident there will be no difficulty in
iiduuiiiig oig ireignters in and out
with capacity loads of lumber there
will be sufficient vessels sent here
to take care of all foreign tonnage
needs, he said. Some Japanese op
erators have been sending their ves
sels into the harbor for several
months and others will come If de

GERMAN MASTER SURPRISED
AT EXPANSION WROUGHT.
Development Declared Striking
Evidence of Maritime Progress
City Is Enjoying.
Portland's strides as regards chan
nel advantages and modern and
expansive cargo facilities, are re
garded by Captain Coltsau, master
of the German bark Harald, which
will begin loading wheat at the
North Bank dock today, as among
tne most striking features he has
come in contact with' since the re
sumption of German shipping opera
tions.
Ha said yesterday that he was
first here in 1896 aboard the Ger
man ship Vasco da Gama and in
1901 on the Alsterthal, and In those
days, while the port was lively as
to grain movement, there were
problems in the way of adequate
berths, while channel depths were
iar from the mark attained since.
The Harald, formerly the Niobe:
was here more than once for wheat
Her present voyage began at Ham
burg and she went to China with
gypsum, coming here in ballast.
Captain Coltsau said that in the
orient he met German steamers.
and with restoration of the fleet
through ' purchase and the speed
with which new vessels are being
turnea out at German yards, he
thinks another year will witness
marked return toward former
strength of the German merchant
fleet in the world trade.

NEW ISSUE
$7,143,000
Commonwealth Edison Company
First Mortgage Five Pfer.Cent Gold Bonds
Dated September 1, 1908
Due June 1, 1943
Interest payable March 1 and September 1 m Chicago and New York. Coupon bonds in denomi
nations of $1000 each. Callable at 110 and interest on any interest date upon 40 days' published
notice. Previous issues of the company's bonds are listed on Chicago Stock Exchange and appli
cation will be made to list this issue. Interest payable without deduction of the normal Federal
income tax up to 2. The issuance of these bonds has been authorized by the Illinois Commerce
Commission.
For detailed information regarding these bonds attention is directed to a letter from
Mr. Samuel Insatl, President of the Company, from which we summarize as follows:
Commonwealth Edison Company serves
with electricity, for light and power, the'
entire City of Chicago, with a population of
oyer 2,800,000, practically without competi
tion. Its customers number at the present
time over 585,000. During the year 1921,
62,200 new customers were added to the
Company's system, an increase o'f approxi
mately 13.1 per cent over the previous year.
The Company's generating plants, having
a total capacity of about 990,000 electrical
horsepower, are believed to be not only the
largest, but also the most modern and
efficient in the world.
These bonds, in opinion of counsel, are
secured by first mortgage on the entire
property of the Company and together with
other bonds issued under the same mort
gage and ranking equally therewith are
outstanding to an amount of $59,774,000.
They precede $60,000,000 capital stock,
application to increase which to $72,000,000
has been made to the Illinois Commerce
Commission. ' The proceeds of the present
issue will be used to retire $5,000,000 7 per
cent collateral gold notes called for pay
ment December 1, 1922 and for other capital
requirements. Additional bonds may be
issued for only .75 per cent of the cost of
permanent improvements and new prop
erty. The value of the property, excluding any
allowance for franchise or good will, is in
excess of the total capitalization as repre
sented by both stock and bonds.
Net earnings for the year ended Decem
ber 31, 1921, were $8,200,82694. The annual
interest charge on all first mortgage bonds
outstanding (including this issue) is
$3,048,700.
Commonwealth Edison Company and its
principal predecessor, Chicago Edison Com
pany, have paid dividends since 1889 with
out interruption.
In addition -to liberal expenditures for
maintenance, large amounts have been'
appropriated each year out of earnings for
depreciation. For the year ended Decem
ber 31, 1921, the amount set aside for
amortization and depreciation reserves was
$2,900,758, which reserves, in the balance
sheet of Dedember 31 1921, are shown to
amount to $18,192,636.77.
