STEAMS IP RIVER TO CAXTON ; M. S.-THlIar Ha Distinction of Be "Jnic First of? Class to Port. With 1000 tons of crude sulphur on board, the big British tramp steamship M. S. rolIar. In command of Captain It. L. Morton, reached Portland at 5 o'clock yesterday morning from Pwan on Bay. B. After discharging the sulphur at Gteenwlch dock, the M. S. l'ollar will drop down to Llnnton. where she will load 3.000,000 feet of fir lumber for Hankow and Shanghai. Since the M. S. Dollar left here last May with a similar lumber shipment for Manila, she has had an eventful time. From Manila the big freighter went to Canton. China. By going S2 miles up the Canton River to the City of Canton, she achieved the distinction of being the first large steamer that has ever made that trip. Half way up. the M. S. Dollar went through what Is known as the Tal Sheh barrier, a wall of rock put up by the Chinese to keep French warships out of the river. A passage Just wide enough for one ves sel at a time is now open, but, as there Is only 18.S feet of water over it, and the M. S. Dollar was drawing 15.8 feet with her cargo. Captain Morton waited for the tide, to Insure perfect safety. The M. S. Dollar also stopped at Mojl. Hongkong. Kobe. Hakodate and taru. At Hakodate she loaded 1000 tons of sulphur, half of which was left at Swanson Bay, and at Otaru took on board 1,150.000 feet of Japanese oak for San Pedro and Mn Francisco. BARGE IS TO CARRY WHEAT Experiment to Be Tried on Upper River at Once. Directors of the Open River Transpor tation Company decided yesterday to try the new plan of transporting wheat by barge down the Columbia River Irom the Inland Empire to Celilo. One wheat barge, the use of which will be watched as an interesting experiment, has been ordered built at once at Celilo. This barge wlU he SO feet long by 30 beam, and will have a capacity of 200 tons of wheat, which is as great a that of the ordinary light draught steamboat In these waters. This barge will be towed with Its load of wneat between Kennewick or Pasco and Celilo by the steumer Twin Cities or Inlir.d Empire. As the steamer will also he loaded to Its full capacity, the ad dition of the barge, if it is found that it run be manaaed in thotw swift waters. will about double the amount of wheat that can be transported on one trip. The barge will draw only three feet, which Is light enough to enable It to be kept In commission during even the lowest stages of the river. If the barge method proves successful. It will go lar toward solving the trans portation problem in the rush months and additional barges will be built at once. When the wheat season is in full swing, it is almost more than the two steamers tan do to handle all the tralfic on the upper river unaided. HOOV TRIP MADE BY BARRETT w Artillery Tender Successful on Her Trial Run. The United States artillery tender and mine planter. Captain Gregory Barrett, built for the Government by the Wil lamette Iron Works, nuule its official trial trip yesterday. With a party of invited guests on board. Captain J. K. Blaine, who has Inspected the work done on the litle steamer while she was building, took the Barrett 23 miles down th river and return without stopping. Although no attempt was made to speed the engines, the Captain Greg ory Barrett easily made better than the 10-, knots an hour for four hours, re quired by the Government contract. For the entire trip she averaged nearly 11 knots an hour. On her builders" trial I trip some weeks ago the Barrett did ; some sensational running. She aver f aged, over about the same course as was run yesterday. It knots an hour. ( Among the guests on the Captain lircgocx BaxTalt were Colonel Baia- r. Vancouver; Mrs. Baxter, wife of Major Baxter, who inspected the Barrett dur ing the first part of the building, but who is now in the Philippines; Miss Baxter, who christened the tender, and her two sisters; and the chief engi neer.
