DREDGES MAY HELP
REBUILD ASTORIA
Port Plans to. Lend Equip
" ment to Burned Area.
OPEN BIDDING ORDERED
Competition of Building of Pilot
Boat Not to Be Restricted
to Portland.
Dredging equipment of the Port
of Portland commission may play a
part in the upbuilding of Astoria's
burned business district. Additional
filling is planned and part at least
in .conjunction with a proposal for
the- state highway commission, to
assist in the restoration of a main
travel artery through the city.
It was said at yesterday's meet
ing of the Port of Portland commis
sion that as yet the matter of dredg
ing at Astoria was in only prelimi
nary stages. But K was said if the
'work was to be finally decided as
bad been unofficially outlined this
week it would require one of the
30-lnch pipeline dredges six months
to complete it. As the Tualatin and
Columbia are at the new plant of
the Long-Bell Lumber company it
'would leave the dredge Willamette
for the Astoria job. She is at pres
ent working above the Hawthorne
avenue bridge and will be there
about two weeks, after which ehe
ehe shifts to the lower harbor.
Harbor Is Surveyed.
J. IL Polhemus, general manager
of "the port, said a detailed survey
!had been finished of the harbor from
the north end of Ross island to the
anouth of the Willamette river and
tip Oregon slongh as far as the
bridge of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle ra'lroad. There are 14 sec
tional blueprints covering the en
tire stretch, and copies are to be
provided for the government engi
neers, river pilots, federal st,eam
vessel inspectors and others inter
ested. - As changes are found in any
of the sections, new ones are to be
Iprintfd.
Survey details are yet to he got
ten out as to a hardpan formation
off the dock of the Star Sand com
pany and more work of the char
acter w!ll be carried out with re
spect to a rocky formation between
the dock, of the Associated Oil com
pany and that of the Beaver-Linnton
Lumber company. The latter struc
ture was recently built and lumber
has been assembled for shipment
but at the present stage of water
there is a question about deep-draft
- vessels getting into the berth.
Open Bidding Ordered.
The commission rescinded a reso
lution adopted with respect to bids
on the new pilot boat being re
stricted to builders within the Port
of Portland district, and adopted an
other that provides for bidding to
be open to all with the privilege
retained by the commission, as pro
vided by law, to award the contract
within the district on a 5 per cen.
differential. Plans for the boat are
to be ready in about a week, it was
indicated. Information that boat
builders on the lower river and in
other parts of the state are anxk.us
to bid on the vessel and, judging
from other contracts of late, at de
cidedly low figures the commis
sioners felt they should take ad
vantage of getting the most desir-ab-le
proposal.
Mr, Polhemus reported steps taken
"With respect to negotiations with
the commission of public docks for
the purchase of the 15,000-ton dry
dock. The replacement cost of the
dock at present was given aa $1,033.
693 and depreciation for .two years
was figured at $111, G51, making th
purchasing basis $922,042. The
amounts had been discussed with
representatives of the dock commi
sion. but it was said a final under
standing had not been reached.
Fire boat Station Protected.
Irs. J. B. Montgomery, owner ol
the Montgomery dock property on
the east side, appeared before the
commission with respect to the pro
.posed location of a fireboat station
alongside the dock property. The
station is protested on the ground
it would prevent accommodationof
vessels at the dock as at present,
and they would be unable to "over
lap" on the station slip. Members
of the commission suggested that a
site might be arranged for at the
dry dock property, which they re
garded as more desirable for a. fire
boat station, since it would be in
proximity to terminal No. 4 and
large lumber and other manufactur
ing plants, whereas much time
would be lost in making a run to
any of them from the Montgomery
dock ftite. It was decided to request
that a committee from the dock
commiss'on join with one from the
port, including F. M. Warren, presi
dent; Harry Sargent and. Manager
Polhemus, and they take up the
question of a site at the drydock
with City Comm'ssioner Bigelow
The tax supervision and conserva
tion commission informed the port
that its budget had been approved.
The total budget was $1,142,090. Of
tie amount $507,358 ia to be derived
from sources other than taxes, so
th levy was made for $634,731,
TAVO NEW STEAMERS COMING
Sloorc & McCormick to Increase
Iutercoastal Carriers.
Acquisition of two additional
steamers by Moore & McCormick
smd their assignment to the Inter
coastal service established a short
time ago, was made known yester
day by telegraph to Chalmers &
Cartwright, Oregon representatives
f the fleet. It was promised that
ultimately the Moore & McCormick
flag will maintain a lo-day service
. One of the vessels taken over is
the Red Hook, of tons net reg
ister, which is renamed the Com
mercial Traveler, and the other is
th Hoboken. of 2Sti7 tons, which
will be the Commercial Spirit. The
former leaves New Tork December
23 and the latter January 10, going
by way of Philadelphia and Balti
more. The Commercial Trader is to
be in the harbor today and included
In her cargo is more than 600 tons
of coal and 478 tons of general
freight. The Commercial Guide will
he along about January 5, she hav
ing left Baltimore December 6. The
Commercial Pathfinder was here last
month, she having initiated the serv
ice, in the through intercoastal
trade Moore & McCormick are wide
ly known operators and promise to
hV important factors in the futura
developments of business between
the two coasts.
COLUMBIA LINES TIED IP
Ira Ida Held in Cascade Locks and
Madeline in Portland.
;"With the Columbia river reported
frozen over at The Dalles, the
steamer Iralda held in the Cascade
lnnVs. virtiiallv frozen in because '
the gates could not be opened, and
the steamer Madeline held at this
end of the line, navigation as far
as the regular service on the middle
Columbia river is temporarily sus
pended. Captain L. P. Hosford of the
Harkins Transportation company,
which operates the vessels, for
warded freight that was on the
Madeline for The Dalles and way
points by railroad yesterday, and
until conditions change no ship
ments are to be received. The
Madeline had shifted over to- the
nisrht run this week, but coufd not
complete the first trip because of
the ice.
The steamers Undine and Lurline
are being operated on the lower
river between Portland and Astoria,
but the Undine, leaving last night,
was routed by way of Willamette
slough to St. Helens, thereby escap- j
mg ice running in tne main river,
wbieh was! renor-ted olleetins to!
some extent in tha vicinity of
warrior rocK. ine iuriine leaves ,
sheathed forward they can get
along. The ice in the lower river
not being heavy, but sharp, neces
sitates precautions being taken to
protect the hulls of wooden ve&sels.
Towing log rafts and such traffic
has not been held up as yet and
deepwater carriers are moving.
BETTER CHANNEL SOUGHT
ST.
HELENS ASKS PORTIAJfD
TO AID PROJECT.
Removal of Rigger Creek Bar Is
Urged to Allow Passage
of Iarge Ships.
Portland interests are to join
with those of St. Helens in an effort
to afford early relief in the way of
improved channel conditions at
what is known as Nigger creek,
which bar has given trouble when
ships are loaded- to deepdraft. The
Port of Portland commission was
asked yesterday to lend support.
As the locality is without the con
fines of the port district, yet a
point that plays a highly important
part iu the movement of lumber
from the Columbia river zone, it
was decided to aid in placing the
situation before federal authorities.
Colonel George H. Kelly, a mem
ber of the port commission, is at
Washington, and he is to he in
formed by telegraph of the case
and asked to make known the need
for action, probably being assisted
by members of the Oregon delega
tion in laying it before the chief
of engineers. A detailed presenta
tion is to be forwarded immediately
by mail as well. As St. Helens is
not situated so a-s to benefit from
operations in the main channel
project, it is necessary for special
work to be provided for,
In placing the subject before the
port commission H. P. McCormick
of the St. Helens Lumber company
made the following statement:
We have had the project approved by
the local United States engineers as well
as by the engineers in authority in
Washington. D. C-, not as a separate
item but 'to go into tho budget as part
nf the main Columbia river work. The
United States engineers at Portland esti
mated $21)00 a year would maintain this
channel after once deepened to the
proper depth. But it seems that no
appropriation has been made in Wash
ington for this work although it has
benn approved by the United States en
gineers.
It is a verv serinus winppm tn
us for the reason that two J apanese
steamers were grounded within' the last
two weeks and the American steamer
Mun;n was grounded within the last
few days. It has also been intimated
that those in authority will suggest to
the board of marine underwriters that
alt ships having a draft exceeding 22
feet will not be permitted to come into
St. Helens. For your information we
might state that liU vessels called at
St. Helens and took on cargo during the
first ten months of the year and 45 were
large tramp steamers with -a draft ex
ceeding 22 feet.
The McCormick steamship line has
closed charters covering the year 1392 on
seven large steel vessels for the Atlantic
coast trade, making the Columbia river
the principal port of call. Besides we
will have many other vessels to load for
the Atlantic coas tand foreign ports.
It might be said that every steamer
that takes o ncargo at St. Helens also
takes on cargo at Portland or down river
points. , Practically all the large steamers
either discharge cargo or take on part
cargo m .roruana, so we assume that
the whole river is concerned in the deep
ening of St. Helens channel
Fuel Oil Service Changed.
Tank steamers in the Struthers &
Barry fleet, which are transporting
fuel oil for requirements of the
shipping board, are to be consigned
at Portland in the future to the firm
of Chalmers & Cartwright, which
has been named agents for the ves
sels. The shipping board stores oil
for the use of its vessels bunkering
here at the plant of the Associated
Oil company and with the increase
of late in the oriental fleet a larger
consumption is expected.
Marine Notes.
The Norwegian motorship Theodore
Roosevelt, loading for European ports,
moved yesterday from terminal No 4 to
the Portland flour mill and. will Drobabiv
sail tonight.
The steamer Hollywood, of the Aus
tralian service of Swayne & Hovt whirh
shifted from the Clark & Wilson mill

Mitsui & Co., was in the city yesterday
calling on shippers and commercial in
terests. The Japanese steamer Manda-
san Maru, of that fleet, loadnig here for

DOCK REVENUES M
INCREASE FOR TEAR WILL
BE SUBSTANTIAL. .
Handling of Wheat at Terminals
Indicates Large Gain This
Year Over 1921 Season.
' Revenues derived from the opera-
tion of municipal terminals during '
November increased the showing for ,
the year, to date to $575,172.28. as '
compared with J465.918.21 for the j
same period in 1911. G. B. Hegardt, I
chief engineer of the commission of
is monthly' report. Another gain f
illustrated in the report was in
i i ji a ,nnnr. i ala.
'vator. which was 2,632.266 bushels
f rom juiy i t,0 December 1, while
mnvAm p-p-rpgflipd 1 594 200 ;
m o v e m e-n t aggregatea itw,-vv ;
bushels. For all of the ;
cereal season the quantity bandied
was 3,929,167 bushels.
Mr. Heeardt drew attention of the
commission to the cargo congestion
at terminal No. 1, due to the exces
sive shipments via the intercoastal
route, and said it had been over
come, largely as a consequence
of prune shipments having been
cleaned up. The intercoastal busi
ness increased over October, while
there was a slackening of freight
moving over the municipal proper
ties destined for loreign ana coast
wise ports. i
The commission passed an ordi
nance and declared an emergency
in certifying the 1923 budget to the
county clerk and county assessor, a
step that is taken each year on tne
failure of the council to make a levy
in behalf of the dock commission.
The tax supervising and conserva
tion commission advised the dock
commission of the approval of its
budget, which is certified to the
county officials as amounting to
$694,850, of which $658,404.87 is for
interest and sinking fund and 536,
445.13 for necessary expenses of
maintenance and operation.
Engineer Hegardt's recommenda
tion that 400 feet of steel hose be
purchased, with which to introduce
steam into vegetable oil tanks
aboard vessels at terminal No. 4 to
discharge, so the fluid could be
heated to facilitate pumping, was
adopted and the purchase author
ized. Much time was taken with a dis
cussion as to alleged excessive de
livery of wheat to the Gray-Rosen-baum
'Grain company at the munic
ipal elevator in connection with
loading vessels, also a counter claim
of the company respecting alleged
shortages. The situation involves
warehouse receipts, so it was de
cided to refer the controversy to a
committee consisting of Chairman
Burgard. Engineer Hegardt and
W. P. La Roche, counsel.
Permission was given to D- C
O'Reilly to make changes and re
construct part of gravel and sand
bunkers north of the east approach
of the Hawthorne avenue bridge.
Notice was received from the
building trades council to the effect
the wage scale adhered to during
1920 would be in force after March 1,
1923.

SUCCESS FORECAST FOR WIL
LAMETTE ENDOWMENT.
Dr. John W. Handier, Finance
' Councillor, Confident Fund
Will Be Pledged.
"This is not an indigo bath, but
there are shadows about," was the
way Dr John W. Hancher, council
lor in finance for the board of edu
cation of the Methodist Episcopal
church, described thfe situation of
the forward movement campaign for
Williamette university, when called
upon yesterday noon at the work
ers' luncheon in the Seward hotel.
He gave the official figure as to
Pledges recorded for the school's
proposed $1,250,000 endowment fund
as $1,049,000.
"I have the faith," said Dr. Hanch
er, "that Oregon people, who are
conservative, but who know a good
thing when they see it, will pledge
the full amount by next "Wednes
day midnight the time set for ac
counting and I am confident, but
we must continue hard at work to
put this great thing over. It can
be done only in that way and, judg
ing from your past efforts and the
fine spirit shown all ov&r the state,
it will be done."
Dr. Hancher and his staff are in
Portland and other portions of Ore
gon working hand to hand with the
local people in the effort to obtain
the pledges. If the total sum sought
is in Band by next Wednesday night
at 12 o'clock, it will mean that the
university will be given an addi
tional $350,000 by the general educa
tion board and, therefore, Methodist
ministers and laymen are bending
every energy to that end.
There was an unusually large at
tendance of ministers and laymen
at yesterday's luncheon, at which it
was reported that Portland had ob
tain $8,486 over the previous day s
work. This is included in the total
named for the state.

ARMER WILL GET THERE
New -Generation Relied Upon to
Know Value of Machinery.
CHICAGO. Education of the
farmer to the need of improved
equipment ia the best method of
selling farm machinery, Guy H.
Hall, director of the National In
stitute of Progressive Farming, told
the manufacturers assembled at the
annual convention here of the Na
tional Association of Farm Equip
ment Manufacturers.
"Don't worry because the farmer
seems more prone to buy a new au
tomobile than a tractor," he said.
'From that automobile the farmer's
son is learning mechanics and he is
certain to demand a tractor when
father concluded to do some riding
in the automobile and let the boy
do some tussling with furrows.
American-made machinery 50
years ago took the rake, the hoe
and scythe from the hands of
women and all tnue lovers of horses
will rejoice when the burden of
heavy work is taken from the most
beautiful and intelligent of domestic
animals. , t
"Econoinic law already has adju
dicated between the efficiency of
the tractor and the horse. A survey
of the horse and mule population
just completed shows that there ar
1.000,000 fewer horses and mules
than before the war."
Cultivation, he declared, was the
only method of cure for the boll
weavil pest which annually de
stroys one-third of the cotton crop.
(jovernment and college scientists
agree that chemicals are useless,
he said. In this instance he pointed
out that equipment manufacturers
could perform a needed service.
"And don't forget the boys and
girls," he said "There are a million
or two of them now in farm clubs
and in a few years the boy will be
driving a tractor and the girl deter
mining whether there shall be a
lighting plant on the farm or not."
SOVIET KILLS GRAFTERS
Government Swindling in Russia
Punished by Death.
MOSCOW. A strenuous campaign
against graft among state employes,
inaugurated some time ago by the
soviet government, has brought to
trial in various parts of the coun
try hundreds of individuals, some of
whom already have been convicted
and put to death for their trickery.
At Nishni Novgorod eight men ac
cused of swindling the government
in connection with the installation
of an electrical plant along the
Volga were sentenced to be shot,
while 21 others tried simultaneously
were sent to prison for various
terms of years.
In connection with the collecting
of the grain tax -imposed by the
state, three men in the Moscow dis
trict, charged with making false
entries by which the government
was cheated of great quantities of
grain, were sentenced to pay the
supreme penalty, while 42 of the
same group were acquitted.
FOREST FIRES KILL FISH
Preventive Measures Urged Upon
Anglers and Sportsmen.
WASHINGTON. Anglers, guides
and sportsmen generally, who are
interested in conservation of the
country's inland game fish supply
are warned by the bureau of fish
eries to take especial pains to pre
vent forest fires, as these have been
responsible for widespread destruc
tion of fish.
Streams that once teemed with
trout now have not a single fish .as
the result of a forest fire, bureau
officials say. They believe t heir
destruction resulted from the in
creased alkalinity of the water, due
to the leaching out of the ash left
by the fire.
EUGEXE GETS IDAHO GAME
Schedule, Change Follows Vigor
. ons Protest by Students.
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 14. Following
a vigorous protest on the part of the
students of the University of Oregon
and the residents of Eugene over
the university's football schedule
for 1923 as agreed upon at the recent
conference meeting in Seattle, Jack
Benefiel, graduate manager at the
university, today announced that the
Oregon-Idaho game, October 21, will
be played here.
No place for this game was de
cided upon at the conference meet
ing but It generally was conceded
that it would be played in Portland
until the protest here was made. The
only other game of importance
scheduled for the local campus is
the annual Oregon-O. A. C. struggle.
Domestic Service College Planned
The servant problem is to be
solved in England by a college for
domestic service and the useful arts,
and $250,000 has been set aside for
the purpose. A graduate will not
only learn about cooking, laundry
work, needlework, and general
housewifery, but attention is given
to singing and piano playing, forthe
model English servant must evi
dently have to brighten up the long
winter afternoons when the mistress
cannot go out.
Indian Cave found in Maine.
AUGUSTA, Me. An Indian cave
hidden away many yeans from th
white man's eyes was recently dis
covered on the es-tate of Valentine
Hemeraan at Boothbay Harbor, Me.
The cave extends 40 feet under the
hillside and can only be reached by
a sudden drop of 15 feet over the
ledges. The walls are covered with
Indian characters, centuries old, it
is said- A tangle of grape vines con
cealed the entrance.
