Port of Portland Issues Statement
of Operating Expenses Showing
Saving of $14, 919.31 in
Period of Six Months.
wore yardage is being handled by
dredges of the Port of Portland this
season at less cost than last, and in
a period of six months a saving has
been effected of $14,919.31, as compared
with the previous corresponding period.
For the half year ending December II,
1911, the expenses of the dredging de
partment. Including the dredges Co
lumbia and Portland as well as the tugs
used as tenders, were S64.613.6G, and
for the six months ending June 30,
1913, they were 49,634.35. In the
pilotage and towage department
11458.75 was saved between January 1
and June 30. 1912. on a total expendi
ture of $58,335.10. against S59.793.S5
spent for six months ending December
31. 1911.
Those features are gleaned from the
first annual report of the general man
ager, M. Talbot, whose employment be
gan in October, 1911, and at the last
session of the Port of Portland Com
mission a detailed statement was asked
for covering operations of all branches.
It was the understanding that Mr.
Talbot was to assume full charge of
the routine affairs of the Commission,
administrative as well as operating de
partments being included in his respon
sibilities, so the special summary marks
the end of his. initial year in that ca
pacity. The following statement covers the
fiscal years ending June 30, 1911, and
June 30, 1912:
General Expense Administration.
Tear ending June 80, 1911, $11,283.33;
year ending June 30, 1912, $13,044.57:
increase. $1,761.24, or' 14 per cent.
Note There was an increase in sal
aries in the last eight months, ending
June SO, 1912, of. In round numbers,
$3500; consequently the above figures
would show a decrease in general ex
pense of about $1700. This was on ac
count of the' commission appointing a
general manager at a salary of $5000 a
year, effective October, 1911.
. Launch Marie.
Tear ending June 30, 1911, $2,3Z6.19;
year ending June 30. 1912, $1,980.47; de.
crease, $345.72. or 14 per cent.
Note The reason for the above de
crease is that not as much gasoline was
used during the last year, although
purchased at a higher rate.
Towage and Pilotage.
Tear ending June 30, 1911, $107,
703.18; year ending June 30, 1912, $118.
128.53; increase, $10,425.35, or 10 per
cent.
Note This increase in cost of opera
tion is caused by greater activity of
the tugs and the pilot schooner. The.
Inst year, especially the last half of
the year, the- tugs have been under
steam except when absolutely neces
sary to tie up for washing boilers. In
addition the cost of repairs on all boats
over theV repairs made the previous
year, bringB the total up to the figures
shown. '
DredKlng Department.
Year ending June 30, 1911, $144,611.18;
year ending June 30, 1912, $114,308.01;
Decrease, $30,303.17. or 1 per cent.
Note This decrease is caused in part
by the repairs not costing nearly so
much the last year as the previous
year, the repair work for the year end
ing June. 30, 1912. being performed
largely by the crews of the dredges.
The time operated during the year end
ing June 30, 1911, was J3 3-5 months.
The year ending June 30, 1912, 15 5-6
months. The amount of material ex
cavated by both dredges the first year
was 2,293,228 yards. The year ending
June $0, 1912, 3,023,671 yards. One rea
son for the great difference in yard
age Is that the Portland in the first
year had considerable hard digging and
could not make an average run on two
different places in the channej.
Dry Dock.
Year ending June 30. 1911. $9745.02;
year ending June 30. 1912, $15,267.43;
increase. $5552.41, or 57 per cent.
Earnings. 1911, $18,979.44; earnings,
1912. $18,973.52: Increase, $4994.08. or 36
per cent.
Note The increase In operating ex
pense over the Increase in earnings is
accounted for by insurance premiums
covering the Dry Dock for three years
of about $1800, more than was paid the
previous year; and the cost of repairs
to the bull and machinery of about
$1160.
There is an appended summary is
sued by the Commission that was as
sembled to show whether the employ
ment of a general manager had proven
beneficial, as follows:
Tonne and PIKXaae.
Six months ending December 31. 1911.
$59,793.85: six months ending June 30,
1912. $58,335.10; decrease, $1458.75, or
2fi per cent
Dressing Department.
Six months ending December 31, 1911,
$64,613.66; six months ending June 30.
1912. $49,694.35; decrease, $14,919.31. or
23 per cent-
The actual time in operation for both
dredges was nine and two-thirds
months, ending December 31. 1911. and
six and one-fourth months, ending June
30. 1812. While the dredges were laid
up the crew of the Portland was used
in making repairs on the Columbia
""nfter putting the Portland in good
rhape. The steam was also kept up
on the Portland and furnished power
for the Columbia at the same time.

His partner. Rase, Is still confined at
the City Jail.
Governor West received on August
28 an anonymous letter, commenting
Ion his announced intention of probing
the case ami asserting tnat tnere was
a second woman in the party whose
identity had been concealed. Twice in
the brief communication - reference
was made to the "young man who
hauled Mr. Lively back to the city,"
with the statement that he could tell
much if be would. While It may be a
coincidence, the police think that this
constitutes a similarity to the line
taken by Kisbey'sufficient to justify a
close Investigation.
Mr." Lively - is still insisting upon a
full Investigation of the case, now
that it has come so prominently before
the public He asserts most positively
that there were only three in the car
at the time of the accident, Miss Dow,
R. 1. L. Simmons and himself, and
that the accident was clearly unavoid
able. Since calling upon Ooroner Norden
for an explanation of the failure to
hold an Inquest, which was prom'ptly
given, Governor West has taken no
steps in the matter and apparently
was satisfied. On receiving the anony
mous letter he promptly forwarded a
copy of it to the police here, and noth
ing more was done until the arrest of
Kisbey and Rase recalled It to at
tention. Because the ' alleged extortion plot
went no further than the approaching
of two newspaper men, who were in
vited to come into it, no charge of
that nature' can be made to lie against
the two youths. They are held on
vagrancy charges,, and complaints will
be filed charging them with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
GREEKS RETURN HOI
60 TO 70 PER CENT WILIi GO
BACK TO FIGHT.
Meeting of Pan-Hellenic Societj
Called for Tonight at Which
War Will Be Discussed.
Provided martial law is proclaimed
by the Greeks' and ratified by the Na
tional Assembly, prominent Greek busi
ness men in Portland, including N.
Stamoulis, the president of the local
Pan-Helenlc Club, and L. Canelis, an
attorney, are of opinion that between
60 and 70 per cent' of the Hi'OO Greek
residents of this state will go back U
fight for their country . In addition
volunteers will be accepted from the
2000 Turkish-Greeks whose homes are
how in Oregon.
The charge d'affaires in Washington,
D. C, has sent a communication from
his government .to Hans Heidner, the
Greek Consul at Tacoma, Wash. The
latter has sent on the communication
to Mr. Btamoulis here with authority
to act in this city, as president of Pan
Hellenic Society.
The communication notifies the Con
sul that the mobilization of the soldiers
of the reserve was ordered to begin at
midnight September 17, when all sol
diers of the reserve, from 1900 to 1903
inclusive were called to join.
"The martial law has not as yet come
into force, said Mr. Stamoulis. If it
does the penalty for disobedience is, I
think, five years in the penitentiary.
"If the National Assembly sanctions
the proposed martial law, I think that
between 60 and 70 per cent of the
Greeks resident in this state will go
home to fight for their country.
"The transportation will be in charge
of the Pan-Hellenic Society, which,
though inaugurated but a. year and a
half ago, has - a membership roll of
25.000.
"I have received a telegram and am
in expectation of a letter giving me
fuller information as to how to act."
In the meantime Mr. Stamoulis has
called a meeting in room 400. at 265
Morrison street, for 8 P. M. this even
ing, when every Greek, whether a
member of the society or not. is
urgently asked to be present.

he continued, "that our army was but
50,000. That Is incorrect. The Prime
Minister said the other day that he was
hs.a position to have 140,000 men in the
field within five days, and an additional
170,000 within two weeks. That, of
course, is exclusive of tbe navy, for
which by the way a strong call has
been issued.
"In the notification from the govern,
ment it is stated that the sailors of the
reserve of the navy from 1879 to 1888
are called to join the navy. Tbe reason
for going so far back is because within
the last year Greece has added enor
mously to her navy, having bought 15
new ships In that time to add to her
fleet. Four destroyers left the Argen
tine, whence they were purchased, for
Philadelphia the other day to get am
munition before proceeding to the seat
of operations."

Man in England
Writes of Benefit
From Sulphurro
Perfectly Pure Blood Ought in
Time to Make a Perfectly
Well Body.
Indicating that Bulphurro's benefits
are creeping around the world, a Lon
doner has just written a letter to the
makers of Sulphurro telling of the
great Tieneflt which he had received
from the use of the new Sulphur rem
edy. - The writer is S. Guilford, 199
Cornwall road, Notting Hill. London,
England, and he is enthusiastic in his
praise of Sulphurro. He learned of Sul
Dhurro through a son in Victoria, B. C.
"I am pleased to tell you that I have
derived great benefit from your medi
cine." he writes. "I have been a great
sufferer from chest and Internal pains,"
he continues, but by taking Sulphurro
he has had complete relief.
Perfectly pure blood should in time
make a perfectly wl body.
That is the secret of Sulphurro's
powers. It is first and foremost a
purifier of the blood, for its basic ele
ment. Sulphur, is one of nature's great
est antiseptics and purifiers. Sul
phurro gets Sulphur into the blood, by
means of the Internal treatment and
the baths, and drives out the poisons
and impurities that produce rheuma
tism, and biood, skin and stomach af
fections. The booklet accompanying each bot
tle of Sulphurro (50 cents and SI at all
drug stores) tells you how and why.'
