OFFICERS' REPORTS ASKED Possible Competition With Hill Un. rs Xext Year Thought Reason of Inspection Engine-Room Ignored by Party. Significance Is attache to the visit yesterday morning of B. Tu Wlnchell. director or traffic, of the' Union Pa cific, with headquarters at Chicago; W. Averlll Harrlman. son of the late K. H. Harrlman. and a director of the Union Pcclfic, and J. P. O'Brien, vice president and general manager of the O.-W. It. & N., aa well as of the San Kranciseo & Portland Steamship Com pany, aboard the steamer Bear at Alns worth dock, as the matter of building two new steamers for that fleet has been under consideration. In company 'with W. 13. "Wells, gen eral agent of the steamship line, and piloted by First Officer Dunning, of the Bear, the party went through all departments of the vessel above the main deck. The members were prin cipally Interested In passenger accom modations and the amount of business handled at different seasons. Though the Bear Is not due to sail until 4 o'clock this afternoon, she was "ship shape" as far as could be expected. In view of the fact that preparations were under way for her departure. In not visiting the engine-room of the vessel, the officials overlooked a plant that s said to have no equal on the Pacific Coast In point of order and cleanliness, save that the Beaver, her sister ship, boaTsts the same reputation. Chief Engineer Jackson, who is the pioneer of the "Big Three" fleet, has no greater pride than the compartment wherein reposes the propelling mech anism. Marine men declare no naval vessel surpasses the Bear and Beaver on engine-room appearances. It is re garded probable that in the considera tion of engines for the new ships the officials depend on experts for selec tion, as theirs Is more a railroad train ing, hence their inspection . was con fined to decks, staterooms and lounging places. Offloers of the three steamers, Bear, Beaver and Rose City, have been asked to file with the management written opinions as to their ideas on how the ships could be Improved In each de partment, and voluminous reports have gone In. Opposition expected next Sum mer when the Hill liners are in opera tion is taken as the main reason why the steamship fleet is under consider ation by the Union Pacifio men. They paid some attention to AJnsworth dock, which has been reported many times as about to be replaced by a modern struc ture. As the site of the old Alaska dock, adjoining Alnsworth on the south, is virtually cleared, river men point out that construction could be started there, beginning at the north side of the O.-W. R. & N. bridge and one unit of a new dock completed and used by vessels, while Alnsworth was recon structed, without Interfering with their dispatch. BEX OP GLASnS ON COAST - Portlund Shippers Offered More Space for December Cargo. Third of the "Den" fleet to be head ed for Portland by the Royal Mall is on Puget Sound, the British steamer Den of Glamls, which ha: reported at Victoria after a 16-day passage from Yokohama. She will be here In about a week and Is expected to sail direct, as outbound cargo will be taken on at Seattle and Tacoma. The Den of Ruth ven was the Initial ship of the class to come, and she was followed by the Den of Cromble. The Den of Alrlle is due in December. Reports from Waterhouse & Co, of Seattle, agents for the line, are that there will be more space available for December loading. That is partly ac counted for by the fact that privately chartered vessels will load for the Par Kast; also that the Den of Alrlle will probably go from here to Oriental har bors. Instead of returning to Puget Sound outbound. With extra steamers to be sent from the North, she will have more Portland space. New rates on flour and wheat from the Coast to the Orient, an advance of 50 cents a ton, became effective yesterday. t SEATTTJE SHITS QtrAKAXTIXED Kan Francisco Closed to Xorthern Vessels Until Fumigated. San Francisco has declared against Seattle because rats have been dis covered at the Northern port infected with bubonlo plague, and Dr. Glover, chief quarantine officer within the Golden Gate, has given orders for the fumigation of all vessels reaching San Francisco from Seattle. His Instruc tions emanated from Washington. ' As the Royal Mall and Hamburg American steamers come here from Se attle, also being bound from the Orient and Manila, where plague is reported, the same precautions will undoubtedly be carried out at Astoria. The disposl. tlon of Dr. Marcellus, City Health Officer, and Captain Speler, head of the harber patrol force, is to hasten the catching of rats along the waterfront so that examinations may establish whether there is need to guard against rats now here. STEAMERS WAXTED FOR FAIR Bayocean May Be Joined by Other Portland Vessels. H. J. Cocoran, of San Francisco, for merly with the North Pacific Steamship Company, and who organized a cor poration that purchased the passenger yacht Bayocean here, from the Potter Realty Company, during the Summer, spent part of last week In the city negotiating for other vessels that are expected to be used on San Francisco Bay during the 1915 Fair. Mr. Cocoran left for Seattle yester day morning, accompanied by Mrs. Cocoran, and It is supposed that he will Inspect vessels there that are purchasable. One of the steamers said to have been considered by him here was the Monarch, which is tied up at the old Victoria dock site. .MICKEY LEADS SIMPLE LIFE Irish Character, on LightresscI Re members Shore Robbery. Not for many months has the lure-of rlties sidetracked Mickey O'Rourke, rhlef "inglneer" of the light vessel Columbia, from his prayerful determin ation to shape a course far from tie troublous seas of metropolitan zones, since his experience a year ago at San Francisco, when, after, a Journey from here on the steamer Beaver, he was set upon and robbed. Captain Nell sen. skipper of the light vessel, who was In the city yesterday, says the hero of John Fleming Wil son's stories has pocketed for the pres ent all desire to walk on the mainland. For about eight months Mlokey O'Rourke has remained aboard the Co lumbia, and if there Is any restlessness bothering his frame, he counsels with himself. "Whist, avlck," admonished Mickey, as Captain Nellsen was about to climb over the side and head for Astoria. " "Tis a small favor ol do be askin' 'f yez, but sh'ud eny 'f me frlnds load yez down wld prlslnts, mind yez don't burden yersllf.

ORIENTAL TRAFFIC T EDUCE HERE Portland to Depend on Own Resources, Says Union Pacific Director. RAILROADS TO HELP ONLY Through Rates Apply Via Columbia, Says B. Ii. Wlnchell, but Lines Follow Instructions of Ship pers In Ron ting Freight. Portland must depend upon her own resources in building up steamship service with the Orient- The railroads are willing to help but will not take the Initiative. B. L. Wlnchell. director of trafflo of the Union Pacific system, who Is ac companying Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the system, on an inspec tion trip, said so yesterday. So far as establishing a steamship line to operate between Portland and the Orient Is concerned, the Union Pa cific has no such Intention, he de clared. "We have through rates between Interior points and the Orient," he pointed out. "and these rates apply via Portland the same aa they do via San Francisco and Puget Sound. We are ab solutely neutral as to the port through which the traffic shall pass as well as to the steamship line that shall handle It. We have no favorite steamship connection anywhere on this Coast. "Portland has as good a chance as any of the other Coast cities to de velop an Oriental service. You have a number of good steamship lines run ning in here now. .If you furnish the business no doubt you'll get direct sailings. The railroads can't originate the business. The railroads don't con trol the routing. The shippers do that. "I should think that business originating at this port ought to go far to keep a steamship line going with grain, flour, lumber and other export commodities. -As soon as the shipper begins to realize that this port has direct service he will route traffic through Portland." There Is no llklihood of the Union Pacific routing Its California traffic through Portland to connect here with the O.-W. R. & N. water lines, says Mr. Wlnchell. Such a move Jiad been suggested In view of the fact that the Union Pa cific ho longer shares in the earnings of the Central Pacific, over which its California traffic moves west of Ogden. "Time," he declared, "Is very essen tial to shippers. They demand service over the quickest route. Although we would enjoy the long haul by handling trafflc"by rail and water through Port land, I am afraid that we would have very little traffic were we to route shipments that way. People would take the quicker and shorter haul." The Central Pacific, he said, always will be the Union Pacific's favorite connection at Ogden regardless of the outcome of the suit recently brought by the Government to force the South ern to sell the Central. This is Mr. Winchell's first visit to Portland In more than five years. It Is his first visit, too, since he became trafflo director of the Union Pacific system, which, besides the Union Pa cific proper, comprises the Oregon Short Line and the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany. Systems Will Work Together. Together with J. A. Munroe, vice president In charge of traffic of the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line, Mr. Wlnchell confen-ed yesterday with R. B. Miller, traffic manager, and Frank W. Robinson, assistant traffic manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Company. The traffic officials will accompany Judge Lovett and members of his party on a trip over the local properties, leaving here probably today or tomor row. They will go to Spokane and thence eastward over the Short Line. A. L. Mohler, president of the Union Pacific, who has been in Portland for nearly a week, will accompany the chairman's party. One result of the present visit of the Eastern officials will be a closer work ing relationship between the three component parts of the Union Pacific system. "Business for the system," will be the slogan under which employes will work at every station from Omaha to Portland. "What develops business for one part of the line Is good for the other end," says Mr. Wlnchell. He advises people In the Northwest not to depend entirely upon the Panama Canal to solve their future in dustrial problems. The canal will help, he says, but It Is a means only to an end. It Is not the end, nor does It pro vide it. People must use it to attain their end, he suggests. The recent success of hog and corn production in the Northwest pleased the visiting traffic officials particu larly. Within a few months Mr. Wlnchell will return to Portland and make an extended trip with local traffic of ficials over the entire O.-W. R. &. N. territory. GOOD THINGS IN MARKET ALL the different kinds of apples that this section produces are now In market, the later varieties more especially. The display is particularly fine.

Cape Cod cranberries, at 15 cents a quart; huckleberries, at 15 cents a pound, and a few strawber ries, with a decidedly last rose of Summer appearance, at 35 cents a box, comprised the more prominent fresh fruits.

MEADE IS UNSUITABLE Increased Number of Pumps on Chi nook Suggested as Most Practic able Method of Securing Quick Action on Colombia. A very complete resume of the atti tude of the United States engineers In Washington toward the Improvement of the Columbia River channel Is in the hands of the Portland Chamber ff Commerce in the form of a copy of a letter sent by Colonel Edward Burr, acting chief of engineers, to Senator George Chamberlain, In response to a request that efforts be made to ex pedite the Improvement work on the project. The text of Colonel Burr's letter fol lows: "1. The question of expediting the completion of the improvement of the uoiumDia, River at Its mouth Is being given very careful consideration, both by the district off ioer and this office. "2. In the annual report of the chief of engineers for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1918, it was recommended that a. cash appropriation of $1,000,000 be made In the next river and harbor act, and that a continuing contract author lzatlon be granted In an amount suffi cient to complete the work. It is be lieved that $1,000,000 is all the cash that will be required in the next river and harbor act, assuming that such an act will become a law about the 30th of June, 1814, and that another river and harbor act and sundry civil act will become laws not later than March 4, 1915. Winter Work Impracticable. "4. As you are probably aware, it is generally impracticable to work on this jetty or on the bar during the Winter months, th work ordinarily closing about December 1. After the river and harbor act becomes a law It will take at least two months to prepare speci fications for any 'work which may be authorized by the act, advertise it, make the neoessary contracts and give the contractor a reasonable time to begin delivery of stone under his new con tract. Work under the appropriation to be made in the next river and harbor act will therefore probably not be In active prosecution much. If any, before September 1, 1914 and even with the greatest possible pushing of the work it does not seem probable that more than $1,000,000 will be required between that time and March, 1915, assuming, as stated above, that active operations will not be carried on after December 1. However, should the river and har bor act contain a contract authoriza tion, as recommended, there would be no limit to the rate at which the work could be prosecuted. "4. The question of Increasing the dredging capacity of the plant at the mouth of the river Is having careful consideration. "5. In regard to Dr. Kinney's sug gestion that the transport Meade be converted into a dredge, I beg to say that I am informed uy the chief of the quartermaster cerps that the Meade is now at Galveston, where she Is held for duty with the troops at that point, and that it would not oe practicable to transfer her to the Engineer Depar ment for conversion into a dredge. It may be stated In reference to this that previous experience gained In convert ing the former transport Grant into the dredge Chinook Is not such as to Indicate the desirability of a repeti tion. The conversion of this vessel into a dredge practically required the con struction of the vessel at a cost of $355, 000, and it required as long to make the change as to have built a new dredge. The dredgj thus obtained, moreover, has not been as satisfactory as a ves sel designed especially for dredging purposes. The transports were built primarily for passenger service, with a relatively high speed, which means long, narrow and sharp hulls. These vessels roll and pitch much more than would large sea-going dredges, which would be designed especially for dredg ing purposes and would have relatively low speed and great stability. Meade Conversion Impossible. "6. At the present time It appears that the most practicable method of obtaining Increased dredging capacity on the bar will be to Install two addi tional pumps on the Chinook of the same size as those now Installed. To take out the present pumps and Install larger pumps might and very probably would require so many changes that they could not be completed by the time the next dredging season opens, as the Installation of larger pumps would require changes in the ship which would not be required by the addition of two pumps of the same size as those now installed. While there are some disad vantages, and If,, as now appears pos sible, these pumps can be Installed, it Is believed that this will nearly double the dredging capacity of the Chinook and will probably accomplish what those interested in the improvement desire In the way of dredging. "8. No other dredges in the En gineer Department are as large as the Chinook, and consequently no other dredge would be able to work as many days on the bar as the Chinook, and the time that any dredge, even the Chinook, can work on the bar, except during the Summer months, is so small as to make It not worth while to at tempt to employ one except during calm weather months. Very respect fully yours, "EDWARD BURR, "Colonel. Corps of Engineers, Acting Chief of Engineers." DOCKS POOR HIDING PLACES Harbor Police Keep Tide of Derelicts Drifting: Onward. Harbor patrolmen have been herding undesirables away from the waterfront during the past few nights and, as the force operates after dark In plain clothes, petty thieves and the like that have been responsible for recent minor losses on the river are finding docks and wharves poor abiding places.
