TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1923 PACIFIC CD15T GETS NEW CARGO CARRIER Nevadan to Load at Balti more for West. SPACE TAKEN QUICKLY Eathonnd Freight Offerings, Es pecially Lumber, Declared to Be Unceasing. Indicative of a continuation of the rush of westbound cargo from north Atlantic coast points during the fore part of 1923 is the assign ment of the steamer Nevadan to load a full cargo at Baltimore for the Pacific side, starting to take freight aboard about January 6. The steamer is one of the regular carriers of the American-Hawaiian coterie. The receipt of a telegram yester ,day by the Columbia-Pacific Ship ping company, Oregon agents for the line, as to the arrangement for working a full cargo, was accepted as meaning that offerings "for the first January sailing were such that the Nevadan had been assigned as an extra vessel. Space In Demand. That no cessation was evident as to the movement of eastbound cargo was shown here yesterday when open space reported in the morning for an early 1923 steamer was snapped up before noon. Espe cially is the call for lumber space unceasing, and much more of the material is awaiting shipment than the regular lines can accommodate. The amount of tonnage added to scheduled services during 1922 in the way of chartered ships or the allocation of steamers from other trades maintained under the same flag, to say nothing of "the new fleets that have been drawn to the intercoastal route, Is far in excess of what was prospective up to the opening of June. During the last three months it has been found necessary at times to send steamers direct from Port land and Puget sound, no Califor nia cargo being loaded, while steam ers have been turned back at San Francisco, so heavy was the freight movement, especially with canned and died fruits being shipped. Finding Space Problem. The increases at all ports in mis cellaneous freight have added a sur prising amount of tonnage, but with an even greater relative gain in the marketing of northwest lumber, it has proved a problem to find space to transport it. STATE CONTROL IS DENIED Stevedoring Held Within Prov ince of Admiralty Courts. OLYMPIA, Wash., Dec. 20. (Spe cial.) The second effort of con gress to modify admiralty jurisdic tion so that stevedores may come under the industrial insurance acts of the several states fails of con stitutionality because it would de tract from admiralty Jurisdiction a power conferred upon that jurisdic tion by the federal constitution, the state supreme court held today, af firming the decision of the lower court of King county in the case of the state on the relation of the de partment of labor and industries against W. C. Dawson & Co., a Se atttle stevedoring concern. The supreme court holds the work of stevedore to be of a maritime nature, over which admiralty courts have jurisdiction under the consti tution. To vest any portion of that jurisdiction in state courts as at tempted by congress would work material prejudice to the charac teristic features of maritime law and interfere with the proper uni formity of that law in its interna tional and interstate relations, the court said. From this decision it is expected to carry an appeal to the United States supreme court if a rehearing in the state court is denied. IDAHO SEEKS WATER ROUTE Reduced Rates to Portland May Be Asked by Senator. Data respecting the amount of water-borne traffic to and from rortland during the year, the char acter of commodities and kindred features is wanted by Senator Good' ng of Idaho, who has written H. I Hudson, manager of the joint port tramc Dureau, mat he desires tne information in connection with an effort to be made for a reduction of rates from Idaho territory to Port land. The step is in the interest of finding additional markets for Idaho coducts. via steamship routes, from ht re. On a recent trip to Idaho Mr. Hud son discussed with various interests 'he avauaoiiity of the rapidly grow lug intercoastal services from Port land and the avenues that mUht be openea tnrougn which Idaho com moaities could reach eastern markets at cheap rates. One result of the visit was to induce the routine of a carload of clover seed via Portland lor JNew York. The fact Idaho hart a tremendous potato crop that- has r.ot moved readily, while the joint iiaiiic oureau nas suggested the e tablishment of connections at New xorK ana sending potatoes bv steam r to what appears to be a promising market for choice stock, is though. io uo one reason ior tne rate sub jhc: Deing taken up by Senator oooaing. TRADE IX SOUTH IMPROVES Local Agents for Latin American Lines Are Optimistic. The steamer Baja California, sail ing in the Mexican and Central American iraae irom this coast, is to tie m the river today and will load ouu ions oi riour amonir nthr freight for those countries. The steamer Romulus is due Sunday, In the same line, to load for South American harbors, and a part of her cargo will be 780,000 feet of railroad ties. Chalmers & Cartwright, Oregon agents for the vessels, look for im provement in the general west coast trade the coming year and the move ment of ties on the Komulus is pointed to as one class of car-o indicating new activities in the Latin American republics. Lumber and flour have been moved that way regularly and other edibles and ma terials are gaining footholds in the trade.. McNary Promises Support. WARRENTON.' Or.. Dec. 20. (Special.) United States Senator McNary, in a telegram from Wash ington, D. C., to G. Clifford Barlow, today pledges to support congres- sional authorization of the survey of the Skipanon waterway by the United States engineers for the purpose of getting federal aid later in deepening and widening the channel, presented to congress by Representative Hawley. Senator Stanfield also has promised to give every assistance. Japanese Steamer Coming. The Japanese steamer Kinkasan Maru, due Monday from the orient, besides being the last arrival in prospect tor Mitsui & Co's fleet for 1922, will probably not be followed by others in ballast for a time.

The Commercial Pathfinder and Commercial Trader brought coal and it is understood the fuel will form part of the cargoes of the Commer cial Traveler, due to leave New York Saturday, and the Commercial Spirit, which leaves there January 10. McCormick Ships Load Lumber. The steamer Winding Gulf, char tered by the Charles R. McCormick Lumber company to load a full cargo of lumber at Grays harbor for New York, is expected to carry about 5,000,000 feet. The steamer Mun indies is telng loaded there by the same interests.
