CANAL HELD SHUT
L
Manufacturers and Others In
terested in Effort to Get
New Marine Laws.
MR. BINGHAM SHOWS NEED
Argument in Behalf of Resolution to
Memorialize Congress Made in
stale senate isnnp in
Unanimous Adoption.
Irtimber manufacturers, loggers and
transportation interests are deeply con.
cerned in efforts to induce Congress to
amend navigation laws so that American-owned
ships can trade between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the
United States on a parity with carriers
under foreign flags, particularly Brit
ish vessels loaded in British Columbia.
State Senator Bingham presented the
matter so clearly before the Oregon
Senate last week tiiat that body unan
imously adopted his resolution memo
rializing Congress to take action.
Senator Bingham pointed out that
British steamers, operated under much
less expense than American ships,
could transport material from British
Columbia via the Canal to Atlantic
Coast ports cheaper than those under
the Stars and Stripes could handle it
from Oregon and Washington to the
same destinations. In support of his
resolution he said:
Increasing Cut Possible.
The cut of the mills of the state,
now from 2,000.000.000 to 2.500.000,000
feet In average years, could be made
6.000,000.000 feet a year without increas
ing the existing milling capacity. This
would bo possible with a market, and
the principal market Is bound for years
to come to be that to be found on
water lines of commerce.
"For years timber owners and lum
ber manufacturers have looked to the
opening of the Panama Canal as a
sure market for their product on both
sides of the Atlantic According to
the rates charged for transportation
to Australia and the Orient, lumber
could be taken through the Panama Ca
nal to the Eastern states for $9 a 1000
feet. With this rate there was no
reason why a heavy market should not
develop on the other side of the con
tinent and in Europe.
"When the Canal opened some of the
steamship companies named a $12 rate
a 1000 feet. Then as the demand for
other commodities grew and the few
steamships on the run found all the
higher-priced offerings they could
handle, they declined to take lumber
in any appreciable quantity, and put
the transportation rate at 1 a 1000
feet
Canal Closed to Lumber.
"This results in practically no lum
ber moving through the Canal to the
Atlantis seaboard.
A 14-a-1000-feet rate is higher than
the average rate from the Pacific to
Europe, and close to the war rate now
prevailing. Thus one of the greatest
commodities that had a prospective
movement through the Canal Is prac
tically barred by the inadequacy of
shtnping under the American flag, to
which such traffic is limited.
"British Columbia competition has
become keen on the Atlantic seaboard
of our own states. The British Colum
bia mlllman has a stumpage price con
trolled by government license when the
timber is cut, and the price is more
often 60 cents a 1000 than above it on
all crown lands. In addition, the Brit
ish Columbia mlllman is able to get
most of his logs close to tidewater.
But, despite these advantages, the Ore
gon and Washington millmen. through
superior manufacturing methods and
utilization of all by-products, would be
able to compete with their Northern
neighbor If they could get equal trans
portation rates and service.
British Expense Iwf.
"Captain Robert Dollar, who oper
ates under both American and British
flags, says that the operating cost un
der the American flag is about ?0 per
cent higher than under the British
A"- . . .
"Many Instances are arising where
our millmen are losing orders for At
lantic seaboard business, as a rule to
the British Columbia manufacturer.
Our lumbermen find that they will
have to make large parcel shipments
to meet the requirements of the yards,
but under existing conditions they can
not do so. In some instances they have
bid as low as $2 a S1000 under British
Columbia millmen for orders, ana men
lost because our shipping charges were
greater than this difference."
SO MTXITIOXS FOR GLEVROY
Royal Mail Liner Loads Here and on
Tusct Sound for Russian Harbor.
Hardly had the Royal Mail liner
C.lenroy ploughed her way into the Co
lumbia than a report started that she
would load munitions here for the
allies, and as insistently as the rumors
have been quoted, representatives of
the line have denied them. There was a
story recently going the rounds that
the steamer would take on certain car
go at British Columbia ports for the
front, but now it is said sho will not
return via ports across the border, be
ing destined to finish at Seattle.
The Glenroy. Captain Holman. be
Ctn discharging yesterday at munici
pal dock No. 1. where about 1000 tons
are to be unloaded. She is to work
principally flour and lumber for the
return voyage, which will be to lad
lvostok. where she discharges and
takes on a cargo of beans and such
merchandise for London. hen the
war was precipitated the Glenroy was
at Marseilles, but she was only delayed
a short time before getting started for
the Far East and the Pacific Coast.
RING CYRUS IS CHARTERED
Second or Idle Schooner Fleet Fixed
to Work Lumber Cr?o.
Daviea Fehon have taken the
schooner King Cyrus, whicn nas um
lnld up at Astoria since October 10.
when she arrived trom San Pedro to
load a cargo of lumber at the plant
of the Westport Lumber Company for
Sydney. X. S. W. The rate is reported
to be 47a 6d. The British ship Wm. T.
Lewis, an old trader on the Coast and
owned at San Francisco, has been
fixed to work lumber at a North Pa
cific port for the United Kingdom and
it is supposed the rate is about tha
same at which the Hu:-lan bark Luel
para was engaged. 100 shillings.
The King Cyrus is the second of the
, ji th rivr to be taken in
about a week, aa the schooner Irene
was chartered by u. v . iic.ear ii
43s d for Valparaiso. The British
schooner David Burns is also held on
the lower river, having been idle since
July 28. when she reported from Osaka.
It is assumed that she will be started

SAILORS WAXT DISCHARGES
Tars Do Not Relish Sailing Into
Turmoil Now.
There are prospects that the crew of
the NorYeglin ehlp Songvand, or those
members not willing to -voyage back
to the United Kingdom with a wheat
cargo, will be paid off in a few days,
and the men on the Karmo are seeking
to obtain their wages so as to evade
making a Journey into the war zone.
The Hero case, now before the Federal
Court, is expected to establish a prec
edent here in such matters. The sail
ors, through attorneys, take the stand
that they should not be bound to sail
on a vessel bound for the scene of war,
even though signed tor the round voy
age, and demand to be paid off here.
There are a number of German sail
ors here without employment, they
either having been paid off on British
ships or others chartered for wheat to
England, or from German vesels in
terned, on which crews have been de
creased to curtail expenses. Some have
found occupations outside the city,
while more are said to be in strait
ened circumstances. A few are willing
to ship, but masters do not wish to ac
cept them, only to have them thrown
into prison in England.
TWO SAILORS LEAVE RIVER
Batsford Gets High Rate for Wheat
Cargo to British Isles.
Favorable conditions helped the Cel
tic Glen and Pierre Antonine to sea
before dark yesterday and there is a
chance for a race between the two
allies. The Frenchman terminated a
lengthy stay, as it was November 19
when she reached the river from Ant
werp with a general cargo and, be
cause of the manner in which it was
stowed delaying her unloading and the
fact that she lost both anchors off Fort
Stevens on arrival, her dispatch was
not speedy.
Kerr, Gifford & Co. took the British
steamer Batsford yesterday, paying
therefor 62s 6d, which is the top-notch
figure negotiated this season and above
what grain freights cave reached In
recent years. She is of 2906 tons net
register and comes from Japan for
February-March loading. About the
middle of the week more carriers load
ing will finish and there will be few
sailers remaining in the river Febru

CLACKMAXXAXSHTRE TO SAIL

When the British ship Clackmannan
