ASK BIDS ON
: ELDER WRECK
Underwriters Abandon
..Hope of Pulling Her
From Rock.
All
MAY BE DISMANTLED SOON
Xhrec Months' "Work HasMJecn -Useless,
and Offers Are "Wanted for
Steadier as She Iiles on
Ledge at Goble.
'After "many attempts To raise the
Eteamer-Geo: W. Elder from the rock
at Goble, the English underwriters
have abandoned the vessel.
It was announced yesterday, that bids
'were to"be advertised for. This means
that the Elder will either be purchased
by -wreckers, dismantled and broken
up. or that she will pass Into the
.hands of a more fortunate shlp-ralser
"who will pull her off the rock.
Bids are to be opened Friday of
iext week, June 2, by Henry Hewitt,
Lloyd's agent.
It' Is known that several Portland
men, who have watched the proceed
ings at Goble wish an opportunity to
try raising" the steamer. They have
said that the plans tried by Archibald
!McFarlane, who has tried for over
three months to rescue the vessel for
the underwriters, were wrong in prin
ciple. First the plan of erecting bulk
heads Inside the hull of the vessel was
tried. Then a cofferdam was built
under the bows. But? no matter which
plan was u&ed, as soon as the pumps
had -driven a certain amount of water
from the sunken hull, In would pour
the water again from a new hole In
!her bottom.
Captain McFarlane says that steam
boat captains and pilots have undone
all his work on several occasions. The
Elder lies a very short distance from
the main ship channel on the Columbia,
and every passing steamer sends out a
swell that plays havoc with the coffer
i!am, and also rocks the vessel so that
additional holes are punched through
the bottom by striking on the rocky
ledge. Requests for slow speed, while
passing the wreck, have been Ignored.
Much Mpncy Already Spent.
It is estimated that nearly $40,000
has been spent by the underwriters
upon the attempted salvage of the
Elder. She was insured to the O. R. &
X. Co. for about $100,030, and rather
than pay that amount as soon as the
steamer went on the rock last January
the underwriters were willing to ex
pend a good round sum. A month ago
the statement was published that .mere
were slight chances of the steamer's
being raised.
For days at a time Captains McFar
lane and Mcintosh have worked w.HhT
out rest on the wreck. When the pumps
were going they have gone days and
nights without sleep. Apparently they
have done ail that experienced men
could do. But the .Elder is still on the
rock at Goble, and the underwriters
decline tc put up any longer. -May
Yet Be Raised.
What the amount of the bids on the
wreck will be is a problem. There will
be two distinct classes of bids. Wreck
ing companies whose experts will cal
culate every dollar's worth In sight
will undoubtedly submit several of
fers. Men who believe they can raise
the vessel will take a long chance and
make bids. The O. R. &. X. Co. will now
receive Its Insurance, and the money
paid for the wreck will go to the under
writers. It has been an open secret
that the owners of the vessel were
quite willing to take the insurance In
stead of tho steamer being placed In
their hands again.
If by any chance the Elder Is raised,
it Is believed that an entirely new bot
torn will have to be placed in her. as
ho pounding on the ledge in the Co
lumbia has undoubtedly damaged the
plates considerably.
WHARVES ARE AV11ITE NOW
Coats of Whitewash Improve Appear
ance of Water Front.
Bv the time the Lewis and Clark Ex
poslton opens the water front will pre
sent an appearance mat wm oe
credit to the city instead of a shame
For years the docks and wharves along
the Willamette, have been an eyesore.
Now- they are being whitewashed. All
along the river from the Portland Mills
to the boneyard dazzling white has
covered dingy planks and piles. Even
the buildings which are none too safe

Is done from a barge upon whicn is

chine. By June 1 nearly every wharf
trill bft white.
There are still a number of spots
oinrnr the river that could be made
more attractive to the eye. The hulk of
the old steamer Emma Hayward, near
the foot of Stark street, is an onset to
many whitewashed muwings.
Alliance Finds Business.
Carrying 96 passengers, eight carloads
-of freight for the East and 100 tons of
local freight, the steamer Alliance ar
rived at 4:10 yesterday afternoon from
San Francisco and way ports, ine pas
traffic ud the Coast has been de
tldedly Increased within the last few
days on account of the approach of the
opening of the Exposition.
May Buy the Telephone.
Another rumor concerning tho steamer
Telephone Is afloat. Captains H. B. Ken
nedy and TJ. B. Scott arrived from Puget
Sound yesterday, and it Is reported that
the litigation in which the Telephone
is involved will be settled, so that she
. may e taken around to Seattle. The
Telephone has been tied up since she was

FUNCTION OF LIBRARIES
3Ienibers of the Oregon Association
Discuss Various Problems.
Members of the Oregon Library As
sociation gathered in the large lecture-
room of the Portland Library yester
day and discussed matters relating to
the proper functions of libraries and
the problems which beset librarians.
Yesterday's conference was the first
of its kind to be held In this state, and
It Is fhe intention of those interested
In the movement to secure a better
understanding of the principles which
goyera the -success of public libraries
and like organizations.
Several librarians and educators
from throughout the state -were pres
ent as well as MJss Isom, of the Port
land Library, and her staff, and sev
eral Portland booklovers.
In a brief address before the morn-
ng session,- Mayor George H. Williams
paid a high tribute to the work of pub
lic institutions for the furthering of
knowledge, and laid particular stress
on the good to be derived from intel
ligently conducted libraries. Mayor
Williams was one of the first inter
ested in the present Library, and was
closely Identified with the North Port
land Free Library, which was organ
ized many years ago.
The principal -address of the morning
was by Professor F. G. Young, of the
University of Oregon. Professor
Young discussed the "Functions of the
Public Library Among the Agencies for
Social Betterment," and dwelt particu
larly on the fact that the securing of
the convention of the American Li
brary Association for Portland would
be of distinct benefit to the city ana
state as well.
In the afternoon William L. Brew
ster, a Portland booklover, discussed
plans for entertaining the members of
the American Association, and also
spoke of the good that would result
from the Portland convention which
will be held during the Summer, Fol
lowing Mr. Brewster, D. A. Thompson,
of Sellwood. spoke of the "Small LI?
brary-and Its -Problems."
The -session closed with discussions
and suggestions by librarians from
various parts of the state, and a ques
tion-box by -Miss Isom.
Noted Prohibitionist Here..
Oliver W. Stewart, one of tho most fa
mous leaders of the Prohibition, party
and equally distinguished as an orator.
arrived yesterday morning from a cam
palgnlng tour of California. He presided
over the Xational Prohibition Convention
at Pittsburg In lfcDG, when the division
over the silver question came, and being
a staunch believer In the double standard
of coinage, he cast his political fortunes
with that element In the organization.
From that time forward he has been al
most constantly on tho Prohibition plat
form, and had the distinction of being
the only Prohibition member of the Forty
third Illinois Legislature, having been
elected from the Hyde Park district of
Chicago, which Is his home. Mr. Stewart
was conceded to be the leader in oratory
of the Legislative body, his speech In
nominating John G. Woolley for the
United States Senate being considered
masterpiece ot eloquence.

The real estate market has broadened
out more in the past few weeks than at
any time lri years. For months, past there
has been the greatest activity - In retail
realty that "the" city has known and whole
stretches of the retail districts have been
practically sold out. some pieces several
times within the year, and now the spec
ulative Instinct has grown until buyers
are plentiful for a good piece of property
in any locality. Prices anywhere in the
city- are stiffening rapidly.
Though the largest two sales of the
week were of down town property, the
resident district has faired very welL
South Portland, which has seen little
transferring for a long time, even came
in for Its share," and the prices paid show
that the sales were not sacrifices.
Charles Sweeny's purchase of the
Washington block at Fourth and Wash
ington for $200,000 places him In possession
of almost half the block. Rufus Mallory
purchased a strip 50 feet wide on Stark
between Third and Fourth opposite the
"Chamber of Commerce building for $!.-
000, and contemplates erecting an office
building there.
