THE MORXING OREGON! AX, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1923 15 IIEIW TIE GETS EW MLS Monticello and Montpelier Sent to Pacific. EXCESS TONNAGE CAUSE Orleans Also Scheduled to- Leave Boston December 16, as Is v Xorthern Star. Calls for space in excess of ton nage already in operation on the route between ports on the east and west coasts of the United States has prompted the American-Hawaiin Steamship company to withdraw the big freighter Monticello, which boasts a net register of 4698 tons, from the Hamburg-Buenos Aires line and assign her o the inter coastal fleet. She is to get away from Baltimore a week from tomor row and is due at Portland Jan uary 20. Another carrier' recently drawn from the South American-German trade for the domestic service was the Montpelier, of 2813 tons net register. She was loaded in the east with California freight and is due at San Francisco the last of the month, where she will be loaded and turned back, not making har bors in the northwest. Change Made in Plans. In reference to the two ships, It was said plans were about per fected for assigning them to reg ular American-European line, but with the insistent call from ship pers for more space on both east and westbound business, it was de termined to add them temporarily to the intercoastal fleet. At that it is assumed on the coast that at least the Monticello will yet be ordered into the European trade. - Another extra ship to get away from the eaet coast this month is the Orleans, which the company has scheduled to leave Boston December 16, and about the same time the steamer Northern Star, on a single voyage under charter, is due here and will load back with a full cargo of lumber. The Minnesotan, in port at present, is loading for New York and Boston, and she will carry away one of the largest amounts of freight sent to those harbors via that flag in some time. Rate Cutting Problem. It was June 27 that the American Hawaiian withdrew from the con ference and that move precipitated a rate-cutting campaign that still figures in the trade and with vir tually six months of such conditions it is declared no decrease in devel opment of new business is indicated. It is pointed out that while the falling off of fruit shipping on this side will eliminate some of the rush, the need for more lumber tonnage will afford the lines all of the eastbound freight that can be ac commodated and contracts made for 1923 are reported already made that insure record-breaking shipments being provnled. AYHEAT MOE3IEXT IS LARGE Portland District Still Leads in Northwest Cargoes. "Wheat moved by water from the Columbia river district since the opening of the cereal year, domestic j shipments as well as those for for eign ports, amounts to 10,205,223 ( bushels, and from Puget sound the I movement has reached 2,583,03o j, bi shels.

December 10, per weamer Maui, from Saa Francisco, X egebii is chartered: STOCKHOLDERS TO OPERATE CRAFT ON OWN ACCOUNT. Eight Trips "With Lumber Are to Be Made to San Pedro; Boat to Be Renamed. " Stockholders in the big steam schooner Egeria have determined to operate the vessel on their own ac count and have closed with the Mc Cullough-Fagan Lumber company for her charter to make eight trips with lumber to San Pedro with the option of eight additional voyages. Or. the return she will call at Saa Francisco for general cargo. It is' the intention to keep her in the trade out of the Columbia river. The ship, which was converted by the Coast Shipbuilding company and others, from one of the Ferris wood en hulls constructed for the shipping board, is to be operated under the direction of James V. Mason, of the Portland Marine Supply company, who has been named by his asso ciated stockholders as managing owner. It is determined to rename the steamer in honor of Bert E. Haney, well-known barrister and ex- United States district attorney, who represented the stockholders in re cent litigation. Claims against the vessel resulted in her sale last month by an order of federal court and she was bid in by F. H. Han som, one of the stockholders. 'Captain' Bob Mcintosh; well- known shipwright and liner, has un dertaken to overhaul the vessel, lengthening her booms in line with needs at coast ports, caulking the topsides and lifting her on dry- dock for cleaning and painting and other details. - Fred Hogan, who added to his reputation in a marine engineering way through fitting out ships during theiwar at the plants of the G. M. Standifer Construction cor poration, has shoulderecrthe job of putting in a new steering engine and going over the main plant. The Egena is lying at the foot or Mill street and work is to be speeded so she can go alongside the Eastern & Western mill to start her first cargo December 26. The Egeria was 0) iginally fitted out in first-class crder and while her sea service was limited, due to freights having fallen off and financial difficulties, she proved a good sea boat and economi cal on fuel. After her first voyage, cn which she was equipped with fuel oil capacity that afforded her an ex tensive steaming radius, some of the tanks were removed to better meet the demands of the coast trade. She is of 2360 tons gross and 1379 tons. net register, being 266.6 feet long, t.l ieet beam and 24 leet depth of hold. Her lumber carrying capacity was first given as 1,700,000 feet. Mr. Mason said yesterday it was assured the steamer would be pa tronised on northbound trips by some Portland shippers and that every effort would be made to es tablish connections to justify the venture. Changes in her cargo hand ling gear will increase her facilities for lumber needs and, being an un usually big carrier compared with the average coaster, while she has speed and fuel economy in her favor, it is felt she can be fitted Into the trade successfully. FOUR MORE BIKES PLANNED Lower Columbia ..Works Will Be Rushed to Completion. -At least four more dikes will be started on the lower Columbia river before spring high water exerts an influence, according to the pro gramme of government engineers. Since the June freshet four have been completed at Willow bar, three are being built at Martin island bar and one at St. Helens. The dikes to be constructed probably will in clude one at Martin islard barman other at St. Helens and two at Slaughter's. The pipeline dredge "Wahkiakum finished digging in the channel at the lower end of Martin island yes terday, and was towed to Kalama. The dredge Multnomah will com plete work mapped out for her at Pancake point by tomorrow and then will be moved to Eureka, Low water experienced for such a long period this season has aided In both diking and dredging projects. STRIKE CONFERENCE ASKED Employers' Reply to Request Not Yet Made Public. , That a reply was made by the Portland Waterfront Employers' union yesterday to A. J. Chlopek, president of the International Long shoremen's association, " who re quested that a meeting be arrangea for discussion of the longshore strike, was admitted, but the text of the communication was not given out. Mr. Cniopek said last night that he believed the reply should not be made known by him in ad vance of a meeting of members of the Longshoremen's union tonight. , The employers were in session yesterday relative to the proposal for a conference, which was received by Henry Rothschild, president of the organization, and in turn re ferred to a committee. It was re ported that the disposition of the employers not to deal with the men on strike as an organization had not been changed. River Captain in Hospital. Captain William H. "Whitcomb, for many years identified with steam boating on the Willamette and Co lumbia rivers, but who has made his home at Seaside for some time, fell there Friday and suffered a leg fracture. He was brought to St. Vincent's hospital. Dr. Norman Pease, son of the late Captain Archie Pease, who "steamboated" with Cap tain Whitcomb in the old days, is attending1 the injured navigator. Captain Willis Snow and others of Columbia River association No. 7, Masters, Mates and Pilots of Amer ica, learned yesterday of the acci dent to Captain Whitcomb, and his stay at the hospital is to be made as pleasant as possible by those who knew him in the times when history was made on the river.

Ted Thye, wrestling instruc tor of the Multnomah club of Port land, tonight - lost his wrestling match at the Auditorium to Mike Yokel of Salt Lake city, on a fluke when a temperamental referee, who picked himself up from among the chairs at the ringside after Thye had kicked him in the face while trying to free himself from a head lock, hurried back to the mat and slapped Yokel's stomach, giving him the fall, while the Utah wrestler was lying flat on Thye with hands outstretched. Thye was not thrown. He was under some 200 pounds of beef try ing to extricate himself when the dazed referee dazed the crowd with his unfair decision. When he at tempted to explain, the crowd booed and howled him down and it was a dissatisfied afrd disgruntled crowd of about 400 loyal mat fans who left the theater The match was wrestled under the White rules. Each had obtained a fall, Thye in the second and Tokel in the third, when the unexpacted finish came. Log Supply Growing. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 5.
