3 THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAX, PORTLAND. APRIL 7, 1907. TELEPHONE GOES INTO COMMISSION Steamer Chartered by Regu lator Line Management for The Dalles Run. FASTEST CRAFT ON RIVER Boat Has Been Tied Vp for Xearly Three Years and Her Future Has Worried Waterfront Men for Many Long Months. The steamer Telephone has been chartered to the Regulator Line and will operate between Portland and The rlle9. The deal was consummated yesterday afternoon, and the papers signed which places In commission the crack steamer of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. The steamer will be placed In commission as soou as pos sible, and will go into service in place of tlu; steamer Joseph Kellogg, which has been returned to her owners. Dur ing the interim the steamer Capital City will make a few trips in the pas senger service. The charter of the Telephone to the Regulator people puts at rest the gos sip that has been going the rounds of the front in regard to the future of the fastest steamer that has ever op erated on the river. The Telephone was built In 1903. and with the excep tion of three months during the Sum mer of 190"., has never been operated. For several years she was a landmark at the Haseltlne dock, on the East Side. Two weeks jjgo she was towed to the Victoria dolphins, and is now there. With the sale, of the steamer North west to Captain Bonser, who will take the steamer to British Columbia, the Joseph Kellogg, then operating for the Regulator Line, was transferred back to her owners, and the demands of the business werp such that It was imper ative that another vessel be secured Immediately. M. Talbot, general man ager of the Regulator Line, secured an option for a lease on the steamer Tele graph, but as her freight-carrying capacity was limited, he successfully maneuvered for the Telephone. The Telephone Is 2'11 feet long, 31.5 feet beam and 8 feet depth of hold. She is conceded by steamboat men to be fastest piece of stern-wheel marine architecture afloat. While definite conclusions have never been tried be tween her and the Telegraph, her rec ord, when matched against the Charles R. Spencer, is good enough to place her at the top of the list. COASTING BUSINESS INCREASES More Vessels Handled hy Tugs Than During March, 1908. During the month of March the tugs operating on the Columbia River Bar handled 49 vessels, bound In and out. As compared with the corresponding month of last year this Is a Rood showing. Dur ing March, 1906. 43 vessels were handled. Of this number 25 were coasters and 18 foreign ships. During the month Just closed 32 coasters and 10 foreign ships were towed across the bar. While the foreign business of last year was considerably in excess of that hand led this season, the foreign shipments are largely In excess of the corresponding month of 1606. This Is due to the fact that a majority of the exports of food stuffs have gone to the Orient in steam ers and the tugboat service makes no re port on steam vessels crossing in and out. The number of coasting vessels has Increased materially. Had It not been for the trouble caused by the Industrial Workers the list of coast ers would have been largely in excess of the figures given. A number of coast ing craft were diverted to the Sound. STEAMERS MAKE A RECORD More Wheat Handled During March Than Any Previous Month. During the month of March the three steamers of the O. R. & N. Co., operat ing on the Snake River, moved 91.8T1 sacks of wheat to the railroad. This Is R2.6.Vt sacks in excess of the amount moved by the same vessels during February. During the second month of the year there was considerable delay on account of Ice; shortage of coal and cars. During last month there has been agood boat ing st.ige and cars and coal have been plentiful. The amount of grain handled during March i.s In excess of any previous rec ord made by three boats on the Snake River. April 1 there remained at the vari ous shipping points above Rlparia. 290, V0 sacks. With plenty of snow still 1n the mountains and prospects better tliRn ever before for continued good water, the balance of the wheat crop will be han dled within three months. The fleet will be In position to handle the new crop. EllBOre Will linn to Astoria. Oil-burners are being Installed In the steamer Elmore at the yards of the O. R. X. Co. It is the Intention of Cap tain Conway to operate the steamer on the lower river during the coming Sum mer In order to relieve the Hassalo. which has lately been unable to keep up with the work. During the beach sea son there Is an excess of freight and passengers, and the need of an extra boat has been felt for several reasons past. The Modoc Is running In place of the Klmore on the upper Willamette. Miitliloimi Will Go on Ways. Within the next ten days the snagboat M.ithloma will be hauled out on the ways and her hull put in shape for next sea son's business. The Mathloma has been in the yards at the Government moorings for some time past, having her machin ery overhauled. Ry the first of May she will go Into commission and will pull a number of snags in the lower Willamette. At the entrance to the Willamette slough there are several and in the main chan nel between Albina and the St. Johns mill are more. l umber Cargoes Clear. AOTORIA. Or.. April . (Special.

April 6 The effectual work of reconstructing the Chicago city rail way lines probably will begin on Monday. Drawings and plans for the first work that of replacing all tracks have been completed by a force of men working under BionJ Arnold, the city's chief en gineer, and all that remains Is the ac ceptance of the ordinances by the rail way officials. President Mitten Is now In New Tork arranging for future contracts. He will return to Chicago tomorrow, and it Is expected he will have the authority to accept the traction ordinances on be half of his company. The city still will have 30 days to consider the ordinances before accepting them, but It is generally understood that this right will be waived and orders immediately given for carry ing on the w-ork begun. The new rails are to be of the heavy flat type, which will give the maximum of speed with the minimum of power. SELL WHEAT FREELY Sentiment in Chicago Pit Is Bearish.

While there was apparently no decrease in the number of reports claim ing damage by "green bugs." a number of advices were received denying any serious Injury. This tended to increase the sell ing. The market continued weak up to the close, which was almost at the low est point. May wheat opened a shade lower at 78c, sold off IShs and closed ?ic lower at 1BC. Trading in corn was quiet and the tone was easy. The principal selling was by pit traders who were Influenced by the weakness of wheat. The close was steady. May closed c lower at 46c.

Cash Increase of New York Banks, However, Does Not Come Up to Expectations. XEW TORK. April 6. The Financier says: While the official statement of the New York associated ban ks showed a material increase in cash, it did not fully reflect the gain in that item which was expected to be shown as the result of the movements of the week and also of the bringing over from the previous week of the unrecorded increase. The loan item was disappointing, in that It recorded only a moderate expansion, but a much larger gain was looked for. The results as indicated in the surplus re serve were, however, quite satisfactory, this showing a larger amount than was recorded as the maximum last year, when on July 21 it was $19,391,000; more over, the specie item is greater than that in 1906. though the total cash is about $5,000,000 less than the highest In the year. It is noteworthy that, compared with March 23. the public deposits in the banks increased $15,877,600, or very nearly as much as the sum distributed In the fortnight through the subtreasury. The gain as officially reported last week was $10,533,900. General deposits were in creased $16,S95,S00. which amount very nearly agreed with the sum of the in crease in cash and the expansion in loans, so that the statement made & good proof. The required reserve was in creased $4,223,960, deducting which from : the gain in cash leaves $6,309,950 as the increase in surplus reserve to $19,441,225. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less thereof $30,389,700 in the public funds, the surplus is $27,036,650. Loans were ex panded by $6,143,600, and the excess of this item over general deposits was re duced, compared with the previous week, by $11,000,000. The statement of the clearing-house banks for the week follows: Loans l.O62.6S8.S0O $ 6.143.
