PROBLEMS TO BE STUDIED
Cruise In Prospect Will Require at
Least Six AVeeks, but Employers
Indorse Plan Which Will
Ieiiiand Long Vacations.
Steaminjr from Portland down the
coast to Colon and then navigating the
big ditch dividing North and South
America, is a cruise in prospect for the
citizen tars of this state. That the
programme is well advanced is apparent
from th? following statement of Lieutenant-Commander
Blair, senior officer
of the organization:
r' . i . . i i ,
the Oregon Naval Militia by the re
ceipt of a letter from the president
of the Naval Militia Association of the
United States relative to the partici
pation oy the Naval Militia of the
United States in the formal opening of
the Panama Canal.
"The National Naval Militia Board
has been in conference with the Secre
tary of the Navy and Chairman
Padgett of the House naval committee,
and such a cruise will have official
recognition and support. A special ap
propriation by Congress will be neces
sary to defray the expense, but it is
believed this will bo obtained. The divi
sion of Naval Militia Affairs already
has prepared a table showing approxi-
West to Use Own Vessels.
"The plan provides for the embarka
tion of the Naval Militia of the East
ern and Middle West States aboard
United States vessels at Hampton
Roads, Virginia, and for their return
to that port upon completion of the

passing mrougn me canal ana joining
the fleet at Colon, the eastern entrance
to the canal. The entire fleet then
will proceed through the canal and
eruise north to San Francisco, where
all hands will be the guests at the ex
position. "The Naval Militia of Oregon has
given much thought to the possibility
uf such a cruise for months, and last

the Secretary of the Navy the possibil
ity of stationing the U. S. S. Oregon In
Portland in place of the U. S. S. Boston,
and of permitting the State Naval Mili
tia to make the cruise on the Oregon
through the canal and to the San
r ranclsoo exposition. The Navy De
partment has had these matters under
advisement for some time and favor
able action is probable.
"The benefits to be derived from such
a cruise are many.' Our new dread
noughts and the battleships, cruisers,
gunboats, torpedoboats and auxiliaries
Thut art not r-n f ir..1 err, q t f .... a,i4
tan be manned, will be present; mile
"after mile of ships will be in this great
fleet, and the inspiration which our
men will feel to be a unit of such a
world power will remain with them
fore-er; they will see the co-ordination
of the parts, from the small one-man
unit to the division of immense dread
noughts and some 20 divisions; and
they will realize the necessity and
value of the tremendous fighting ma
chine our country has built up to pro
1 tect citizens and maintain their rights
'among tho nations.
All Problems to Be Viewed.
"Practically every problem of the
Naval service will be open for their
inspection and they will be taking an
active part in the multitudinous de
tails of the naval profession. Not only
will the men have an unparalleled op
portunity for efficient instruction and
practice in the particular details of
their own rank or rating, but they
will have the opportunity for general
arm upon tneir return will
.c. auic i.j Bpreua inrougnout the state
the knowledge they have gained and
reliable information regarding the
Navy.
Few people are familiar with the
.conditions of the naval service, the
hh..cii,.v ul ma men, armament ana
vessels, the necessity for a navy, and
'the menace of such a machine when
directed against our country in time
of war; yet it is a subject in which
every citizen vitally is Interested and
about which they cannot learn too
much. '
' "The cruise will take about six
weeks for Oregon's men. A number of
employers have bi n asked for their
views in regard to a vacation of such
unusual duration for members of the
Naval Militia in their employ, and no
one has yet failed to give his hearty
indorsement. All expense, including

BARK, ONCE FAST, LAGS
(1WEEXEE, FORMER CLIPPER, IS 05
DAYS PROM VALPARAISO.
Fellpvr British Craft, Crown of India,
Makes Same Trip In Seven Week.
Keener Trade Expected.
Unless the skipper of the fleet Brit
ish bark Oweenee made a long run to
the westward to escape German war
vessels that were reported prowling
along the coast, it would appear as If
the square-rigger, which has been
classed as a clipper often because of
fast passages to her credit. Is showing
. her age, for she arrived off the river
yesterday from Valparaiso after a voy
age of 65 days. The British bark Crown
At India, which was towed In yesterday
' morning, was 49 days from the same
port, and the British ship Centurion,
reported outside with the Oweenee, was
60 days coming up the coast.
The Oweenee sailed under the same
house flag as the famous British bark
Muskoka years ago and, while the Mus
koka was always the fastest sailer, the
Oweenee, though of 2334 tons net reg
ister, made handler-sized ships hustle
to keep up with her. The Oweenee Is
.consigned to Statter & Co. as agents
for the charterers; the Centurion Is to
lie loaded by M. H. Houser, and the
Crown of India is free, so far as can be
ascertained.
' The Crown of India was reported
.offering at 40 shillings, and that Is the
reason she came all tho way from Val
paraiso, taking chances of capture and
being sent to the bottom, because her
high rate brought no response. It Is
the first time this season that a sailing
vessel had arrived seeking business,
and there were Incredulous ones along
the waterfront yesterday when the re
port spread that she was without an
CAN A
engagement. Since the day of her de
parture from Valparaiso space reserved
for the name of the charter on the
Merchants' Exchange board has re
mained vacant and speculation is being
indulged in as to how long the carrier
will' be on the Idle list.
One firm reported yesterday that
steamer owners were asking 50 shil
lings for grain. The St. Hugo, which
steamed from here yesterday, got the
highest rate yet paid for that class of
tonnage, 3Ss 9d, and exporters say that
either the price of wheat and grain
freights must decrease or the United
Kingdom market advance before it will
be profitable to charter. The fact that
foodstuffs are in demand on the other
side Is being counted on to advance the
cargo market, and chartering conse
quently will resume. Other than the

AID TO BELGIANS CITED
PROTEST AGAINST RELIEF FLOUR
AWARD BASED OX LOSS.
Seattle Firm Says California Bid Was
9130O Hither Paget Sound De
livery Would Save 9000O, Too.
Protesting against the action of the
Belgian relief committee of San Fran
cisco in awarding a contract to the
Sperry Flour Company for 17,000 barrels
of flour at $1200 above the price quoted
by the Hammond Mill Company, of
Seattle, which is controlled by the
Portland Flouring Mills Company, the
latter forwarded a communication to
San Francisco yesterday and requested
that, if necessary, the attention of
Mayor Rolph be called to the situation.
The step- was taken In an effort to
compel the Sperry interests to grind
and deliver the flour for the price at
which the lowest bidder, the Hammond
mill, offered to provide the foodstuffs.
T. B. Wilcox, head of the Portland
Flouring Mills Company, admitted yes
terday that the award had been pro
tested. "I do not care to discuss the matter
here, only to say that we have pro
tested simply to save the Belgian peo
ple S6000 if possible." said Mr. Wilcox.
The San Francisco committee is said
to have held that the Sperry bid was
In accordance with specifications, which
provided that California flour be sup
piled. The protestants take the stand
that there is no flour made from Cal
ifornia products, that the wheat is
drawn from the Northwest and that the
Sperry interests will either grind the
flour at Tacoma and send it to San
Francisco, or draw the wheat from
Puget Sound or Portland and manufac
ture it Into flour at San Francisco.
The Hammond Milling Company's bid
was 14.75 a barrel, f. o. b. Portland
or Seattle. An offer was made by
steamship interests to carry the flour
from Puget Sound or Portland free, so
by accepting the first tender the com
mittee would have saved 30 cents a
barrel on the Hammond Milling Com
pany's proposlton alone, and, as the
whole order was for 20,000 barrels,
$6000 would have been saved. The
Phoenix Company, of Sacramento, was
given a contract for 3000 barrels.
THREE IiADEX STEAMIER S GO
Most'of Cereal Cargo Will Be Dis
charged In England.
Close to $160,000 is the value of the
cargo of the Royal Mail liner Den of
Airlie, which got away last evening
for the Far East and England. The
British steamer St. Hugo departed also
with 1500 tons of flour and most of the
remainder of her capacity, which is'
about 7000 long tons, filled with wheat
and a small section with prunes, all
of which goes to England, while the
Lowther Range Hteamed away with a
full load of cereals for the United
Kingdom.
On the Den of Alrlle was a Govern
ment order of oats for Manila amount
ing to 126,200 bushels, worth $62,375;
2500 barrels of flour, at $12,500; 43
tons of paper, at $2162, and merchan
dise at $80, all of which goes to Ori
ental ports. Listed for England were
11.750 barrels of flour, worth $58,750;
oats to the extent of 35,100 bushels,
valued at $16,800, and 154,000 feet cf
lumber, at $5400. The tramp Ecclesia
finished Monday with a wheat and flour
cargo. The British bark Falkirk went
to the stream from the Globe mill yes
terday, after working a full grain
cargo. End will leave down Tuesday
or vveanesaay.
FIRE3LX'S BODY RECOVERED
Gus Johnson Caught in Blazing Fire-
room of Santa Catallna.
The charred . body of Gus Johnson,
fireman, who lost his life in the fire
which burned the steamer Santa Cata
llna of the Grace line, near Columbia
City, October 18, was found yesterday.
Workmen were engaged in clearing
out the hold of the vessel at the Wil
lamette Iron & Steel Works when the
body was discovered. Johnson was
caught in the fire-room when the fire
started. Captain Rose, of the steamer,
and others attempted to rescue him,
but attempts were futile. The body
was taken to the morgue. The de
ceased was the only member of the
crew to suffer In the accident.
Among the Doorest paid workers In the
whole of Europe are the Sicilian itrm labor
ers, whoso average weekly wage amounts to
less than 00 cents.
MINER LAID OFF
Captain Devittof Daisy Free
man, Suspended for SO Days.
CARELESSNESS IS CHARGED
Guides to Xavigation Declared Ade
quate and Channel at Clatsop
Spit Regarded Entirely Safe
tot Navigation Day or Xlgtit.
Captain Henry J. TJevitt, master of
the steamer Daisy Freeman, which was
seriously damaged early Wednesday
morning throHgh striking on Clatsop
Spit, had his license suspended yester
day by United States Inspectors Ed
wards and Fuller for a period of 90
days. Captain Ma'thews, who was act
ing pilot of the steamer Kocneue wnen
she piled up there and caught fire a
few weeks ago, had his license re
voked by the inspectors soon after and
the two cases stand out as indicating
what may be expected by other masters
who lose or damage ships there, ex
cept in stress of weather.
The assertion has been made as a re
sult of both accidents that due care is
not always exercised by some naviga
tors entering or leaving the river and
that it is equal to the best-marked
harbor entrance in the united btates.
A mistake, it is declared, la made
when masters or pilots attempt to fol
low 'a compass course when clear
weather permits of ranges being used
without regard to buoys, which Fed
eral officers say are simply safe
guards or assistants, as dependence
must be placed in ranges formed by
North Head, Cape Disappointment, Chi
nook, Desdemona and the Fort Stevens
wharf lights, the lighted buoys also
serving, but as there Is dang.er of their
being shifted, damaged by vessels or
the lights extinguished, they cannot
be relied on.
In the main dredged channel on the
bar, where the Chinook has been dig
ging, the Septemba survey showed over
-80 feet of water, probably 31 feet rul-
ir.g, and off the errd of the south jetty
there is a good depth of 81 feet with
the channel 1500 feet wide. From the
end of that Jetty to the 24-foot contour
is said to be a width of 8600 feet. The
Daisy Freeman was drawing 13 feet aft
when she struck.
Frequently the largest coasters in
the freight and passenger trade negoti
ate the entrance at night, providing
stormy conditions do not prevail, and
they meet with no difficulty in keeping
in the channel beause their masters
rely on bearings, not on the buoys.
For a time Clatsop Spit was not marked
by a lighted buoy and there were no
accidents. Now the Government has
ordered the lighted buoy discontinued
and in Its place a tall nun buoy will
be established. Bar pilots, the men
who handle ships in and out of the
Columbia River, have filed no objec
tions to the aids to navigation there and
they cross the bar at night as well as
during the daylight, deepdraft ships
being taken care of without trouble.
So long as a man has a license for the
same work the Inspectors insist that
he be held responsible.
The recent action of the Inspector?
dealing with those cases no doubt will
have an influence on examinations f
licenses, and if full knowledge of the
Columbia's entrance and its various
marks is lacking, woe will be the lot
of the applicant.
DAMAGE ESTIMATE IS $3000
Anchors of Pierre Antonine . to Be
Recovered hy Tugs.
Damage sustained by the French ehip
Pierre Antonine when she drifted across
from near the Fort Stevens wharf to
the Desdemona Lighthouse Thursday,
injuring the latter structure, together
with the cost of repairing the light
house, recovering her two anchors and
chains and incidentals connected there
with, i3 expected to total $3000. accord
ing to an estimate made yesterday. No
steps have been taken to recover the
anchors and chains, because the bar
tugs have been busily engaged handling
sailing vessels that arrived during the
past three days.
C. W. Leick, assistant superintend
ent of the Seventeenth Lighthouse Dis
trict, who was engaged in directing re
pairs, to property at Cape Disappoint
ment, is to make an investigation of
the damage at the Desdemona station.
Repairs will be ordered at once, so the
owners of the Pierre Antonine will be
given correct figures of what they are
expected to pay.
ISTIIMIAX IS COMTXG NEXT
Liner Xevadan Loses Time on Voy
age From New York to Coast.
As the American-Hawaiian liner Ne
vadan is behind schedule on her run
from New York, officials of the fleet
have arranged for her Portland cargo
to be discharged at San Francisco, and
it will be reloaded on tfce Isthmian,
which Is due to leave there Novem
ber 2-3.
The Xevadan brought 400 tons from
New York, and that on the Isthmian for
delivery here amounts to 500 tons.
Through the same arrangement, the
Isthmian will work all outward cargo
ready for shipment when she arrives.
The fact that the company has de
clined to charter any of its Bhips for
the transportation of cargo to Belgium
is taken to mean that the eervice will
be continued, despite a slack movement
of freight, due to the war. The open
ing of the Hawaiian Islands sugar
shipments shortly will increase east
bound tonnage and result in the sched
ule being cut down from a ship every

CELJLO WORK ADVANCED
DATE FOR COMPLETION NOW SET
FOR MIDDLES OF MAY.
Employes dumber 850, and in Another
Month Veaseln Can Be Panned Four
Allies Into Ditch From Upper End.
In another month vessels can be
passed into the Celilo Canal a distance
of four miles from the upper end and
the ditch will be ready so that a com
plete trip can be made about May 15.
All work on the 11 pairs of lock-gates
will befinished this week, so they can
be operated by handpower, and me
chanical appliances for opening and
closing them will be installed as soon
as convenient.
Every man who could be retained
profitably on the project has been em
ployed, and the staff now numbers 850,
who will be continued on the payroll
so long as the weather permits con
creting to be carried on. There is some
of that work to be completed at the
upper end of the canal; otherwise water
could be let in almost any time.
Winter storms will not force a com
plete suspension of the undertaking,
for as soon as concreting stops' every
effort will be centered -on steam-shovel
work and other details that freezing
conditions do not materially delay. But
by December 15 probably a good many
men will be dropped. F. C. Schubert,
assistant engineer there, says that no
additional men can now be employed,
but in the Spring, with a resumption
of full crews and full time, as many
workers as can be utilized will be put
on. The laat of the project should tot

CHART FUNDS SHORT
More Consideration of Geo
detic Survey Demanded.
EQUIPMENT IS OBSOLETE
Secretary Red Tl eld Says Only Sure
Way at Present of Finding Reefs
Is by Running Slilps on Them.
Congress Is Blamed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (Special.)
The incomplete and faulty charting of
United States coast waters and the re
sulting loss of vessel property and dis
couragement, of merchant marine is
condemned vigorously by Secretary of
Commerce Redneld in his annual report
to Congress. Hidden reefs in Alaskan
waters, he points out. are the tomb
stones of sunken vessels, more than a
dozen bearing the names of ships that
struck on thera with loss o life.
Taking a stand that the method of
finding hidden rocks in the channels
of navigation "by running . ships upon
them," which "while costly in lives and
property is the only method which till
now has been used," Mr. Redfield has
demanded an appropriation of $50000
for new ships and of $225,000 for actual
working expenses. He 'outlines a few
items which demand instant remedy.
They are, in part:
Vessels The main fleet of the coast
survey consists of the Endeavor, 52
years old, originally constructed as a
gunboat in the Confederate Navy; the
Gedney, 39 years old, and the Mc Arthur,
38 years old.
One Vessel Not Seaworthy.
After a personal investigation of
these vessels, supplemented by reports
from various officials. Secretary Red
field has pronounced conditions aboard
them as almost unspeakable, and has
decided that the Endeavor is no longer
seaworthy v
All of these vessels are obsolete,
carry no wireless, are deficient in mod
ern appliances, cannot safely be used
except in protected waters, have no
refrigerating, electric lighting or con
densing plants, no bathrooms for the
orlicers and men and the sleeping con
ditions are .described as bad. None of
the essels can make better than eight
knots in a smooth sea.
The Coast Survey has imposed upon
it the duty of charting the coasts of
the United States, Alaska, the Philip
pines, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa and Porto
Rico. Any one of the four big jobs,
counting the last four island groups as
one Job, is bigger than any similar
job tackled by any other civilized coun
try on the globe. With the increase
of navigation the Job i3 getting bigger
annually, yet Congress last year ap
propriated only $170,000 for the work.
It will take 25 years for a general
survey of Alaskan waters. As a result
of the small appropriations the service
has been able to operate only three
fourths of each year.
Drag Nets Are Needed.
Secretary Redneld points out that the
only sure method of locating hidden
rocks in supposedly navigable water
is by the drag-net method, which con
sists of the lowering of a wire net at
tached to buoys cn the surface.
Owing to a lack of adequate appro
priations for drag-net surveys this
work has been sadly hampered.
Mr. Redfield's view of the treatment
the survey has hitherto received is
set forth by him as follows:
"The attitude of the Government
toward the coast and geodetic survey
has been like that of a wealthy and
prosperous man refusing to give his
children the necessaries of life.
"No private business run under the
conditions that have been forced upon
this service could long exist. Its won
derful record of scientific achievement
and practical value to our commerce
has not availed to provide it in some
respects with the ordinary means of
efficient working. It has indeed in
vented and .made Instruments of pre
cision of the highest value and pro
duced apparatus and machinery of
unique merit: but it is still farced to
operate under conditions that would
disrupt any less loyal body of men."
MAN WITH $1300 MISSING
J. II. Van Zandt, of IJellingliam, Dis
appears and Companions Sought.
J. H. Van Zandt. 35, of Bellingham,
Wash., Is missing, together with $1300
which he had in his pocket, and Captain
and Mrs. A. L. Loomis are detained
awaiting the result of the search for
the missing man.
Mr. Van Zandt came to Portland a
few days ago to get a loan on a Wil
lamette Valley farm. He got the money
and started to "see" the town. He was
seen in company with the Loomises at
Milwaukie, it is said. Detetcives Mal
let and Price are working on the case.
Mr. Van Zandt was scheduled to meet
his attorney yesterday and when he
failed to show up, the attorney, fearing
foul play, summoned the police.
Loomis, who is a riverman, first came
into the limelight two years ago, when
he and "Mysterious Billy" Smith met
on the street and exchanged shots.
Loomis was walking with Smith's wife.
Since then the latter obtained a divorce
and married Loomis.

LINEN WANTED BADLY
APPE2AL COMES FROM Al STRIA FOR,
MATERIAL FOR BANDAGES.
Woman Declares Articles Thrown Away
Daily in This Country Would
Be Great Boon There.
A letter received by a member of
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution from a friend in the war zone
and referred to Lipman, Wolfe & Co..
Red Cross headquarters, makes an
urgent appeal for old linens. Any
body having the articles described in
the letter and who Js willing to part
with them may do so by letting Lip
man.' Wolfe & Cc. know about them
and a wagon will call for them. Any
thing sent for the Red Cross in any
special country should bo designated
at such.
The letter follows:
"Schlosa Ximerle. Unter Cetro, Bo-
himsche Nord Bahn. Austria, Oct. 22.
Will these lines ever reach you? I
hope so. They are a cry for help. The
terrible upheaval that has brought
such unutterame woe all over Europe
calls for every kind of help that each
and every one of us can give their
respective suffering countrymen. Just
now a request for damaged linen for
our hospitals reaches me. 1 have ran
sacked every closet and sent whatever
I could find, but of course every house
hold In Austria Is doing the same
without being able to find all that is
needed for the thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of wounded that are
being brought in from the battlefields
all the time. Friends and foes must
be equally tended, and the last letter
I got begging for a supply said: 'Every
used-up chemise, every torn pocket
handkerchief, means a treasure for us."
"It suddenly occurred to me that no
nation on earth used up its linen as
recklessly as those beloved United
States of America.
"Just think of the amount In use on
every one of your big railway lines,
your first-class hotels, clubs, tc. Never
a darn to be seen the things are elim
inated as soon as they are damaged.
"America always lets the brolien-up
goods go and goes In for new.
"What becomes of the enormous
amount of damaged linen?
"Could you have cent to me a quan
tity of old sheets, pillowcasos. .nap
kins, wearing linen no matter how
torn or wrecked only so they can be
turned into bandages?
"I have three hospitals clamoring to
me for bandages, and I assure you I
should feel privileged indeed ii I could
help those brave and steadfast sol
diers, that have been lighting tooth
and nail to keep the enenij' from our
doors against three-fold odds to be
gin with.
"You see. the war, as it stands now.
Is something so gigantic that no Imag
ination can grasp it The millions of
men under the Hags, the tremendous
issues the incredible xintruths circu
lated about all the happenings, it
puts your head ' In a whirl and one
is just a little bit eased when one finds
some little corner in which one can
do a diminutive share of work for the
general good.
"The Germans seem to be doing won
ders of quiet pacification in Belgium,
after having been forced to fight the
little country to the bitter end.
"I have been so unutterably sorry to
see the little nation among whom I
have so many dear friends so uselessly
misled and forced to its doom.
"We have to stand against the East
ern giant with its tremendous re
sources. "And we are doing it bravely, but
what unutterable woe follows every
effort, and how every inch of ground
taken or retaken from the enemy Is
soaked with blood.
"I know if you can help, you will.
I simply beg you will try and ge up
a kind of committee to go into the
facts of using, in behalf of suffering
humanity, what America wastes.
"The quicker you send to me, the
smallest installment, the more grate
ful I shall feel.
"The terrible times have one good
side to their credit they call forth
the best in the young generation. No
one dares to remain idle the girls
work in hospitals and charity institu
tions; they acquire strength, decision
the sense of responsibility with a n in
sight into human suffering they had
been shielded from up to this time.
"Tho magnitude of the task calls
forth the best sides of their being.
"The men that are not capable of
fighting work on their side. It is only
the old that stand aside and try to
make up for their lacking powers by
giving their means as far as they can.
"I hope I have shown you how all
Important it is to get what support
we can from all friends that have a
heart for the misery Europe is un
dergoing. "Ciod bless you. my dear C . you
and yours; no end of love to you all.
Your affectionate friend.
"MARIE K -."
