Harbor Project Calls for Build
ing Jetty.
GOVERNMENT AID SECURED

creased Shipping Facilities , Is
Sought by Inhabitants of
Hirer Valley.
GARDINER. Or.. July ?1. (Special.)
James L. Brownlee. of the United States
Englneer'sOfflce. at "ortland, spent
the latter part of last week In Gar
diner gathering data preliminary to the
survey of the Umpqua River Harbor In
the near future, an appropriation for
that purpose having been made, by the
last congress.
This survey will be the first step in
the Improvement of the Umpqua Har
bor, to consist chiefly of building a
Jetty at the mouth of the river. The
Port of Umpqua was incorporated In
113 with this end In view, and the
proposal Is that the port bond Itself to
build the Jetty, the Government to
spend dollar fotlollar with the port
In the undertaking.
The Lmpqua River bar Is considered
to be most easily susceptible to Im
provement, and Jetty improvement on
the north side at the mouth of the
river would result In a deep-water har
bor entrance, as the depth In the gorge
opposite Winchester Bay Is 60 feet at
low water, and the south shore line
Is well defined and protected
The cost of Jetty improvement should
be very reasonable, aa the very best
of materials, such aa lumber, piles.
brush and stone that make up the
greater part of the cost, can be most
favorably obtained In' clmost unlimited
quantities on the navigable section of
the river.
The conditions relating to the Ump
qua River Harbor show that this har
bor Improvement will aid in develop
ing the Industrial resources of the sec
tion and the manufacture and shipment
of lumber by ocean vessels to the great
markets of the Atlantic Coast and Mid
dle West ststes through the Panama
Canal, as well as to the Far-Eastern
porta.
Gardiner, situated .seven miles from
the mouth of the Umpqua. Is the busi
ness center of the Lower Umpqua ter
ritory, and Is a town of 400 popula
tion. In the way of Industries it has
a lumber mill, salmon cannery and tan
nery. There are Improved and well-
lichted streets and unusually attractive
and well-built homes.
Oardlner la the home of the Gardiner
Mill Company, an old and substantial

of Gardiner was organised at the be
ginning of the present year, this being
the first bank In the district.

ELUSIVE SXAG IS SOUGHT
Launches Damaged by Striking Sub
merged Obstruction in Harbor.
Three launches have suffered damage
to their propellers, one also losing a
shaft, because of a submerged snag off
the Portland Shipbuilding Company's
plant, and. though the Harbor Patrol
launch scouted over the entire ares,
no trace of the obstruction could be
found.
Harbormaster Speler proposes to use
a second launch and sweep the vicinity
tomorrow, as the obstruction is said to
float about three feet beneath the sur
face and Is dangerous to navigation,
especially with launches that operate
there so numerously. Snags have made
their appearance several times during
the past week aa the watetr gradually
drops, and some logs towed from the
channel have been sufficiently large to
damage river steamers.

LUMBER SHOWS GAlfl
Shipping Is Heavier First
Month of New Season.
DOMESTIC TRADE GROWING
Improvement Believed Permanent
and Shortage of Steamers Cre
ates Demand for Car
, riers on Coast.
In opening the 1915-18 lumber sea
son, the first month of which was ter
minated vesterdav. Portland is shown
to have made a gain over the total
business floated In June of 3,849.835
feet.
There was little difference in the
total movement to offshore harbors
over the preceding month. 5.753,363 feet
valued at 60.180 being dispatched,
while 6.848,227 feet at 90,525 was the
showing in June.
In domestic business there was a new
spurt with a total of 15.929,800 feet,
which Is the largest month's business
from Portland to American ports since
August, 1914. when 17,122.849 was sent
away. Included In the domestic ship
ments last month was lumber for New
Tork on the Grace liner Santa Cecilia
and a full cargo went to one non
contiguous port. Pearl Harbor, on the
steamer Klamath. There were 23 ves
sels in all for American destinations.
War Caused Depression.
The Improvement in domestic trade
Is not sudden and Is believed to be per
manent. The year before the war the.re
was a large amount of lumber sent to
California that was used in the con
struction of exposition buildings at San
Francisco and San Diego, while there
was other activity that drew heavily on
the Northwest, but with the comple
tion of the fair plants and a discon
tinuance of building with the outbreak
of war, shipments fell off.
At the same time war bettered con
ditions for vessel owners, so many that
piled the Pactnc Coast trade having
been drawn to carry cargo through the
Canal as well as to South America, the
Hawaiians and Australia, and only
ships best suited for the diminished
Coast trade ewetc held In service. With
a betterfeeling in the domestic lumber
market, small carriers that had been
laid up were ordered into commission,
and that was followed by an advance
in rates both to San Francisco and
Southern California ports. Now it is
said by some dealers that more orders
could be taken care of if steamers were
available.
Foreign Sblpmenti Heavy.
The offshore fleet last month was
headed by the steamer Henry T. Scott,
which carried a deckload of lumber to
Valparaiso, sailing-July 10, that meas
ured 236.239 feet and was valued at
12448. The Japanese steamer Bankoku
Maru was cleared July 12 for Shanghai
with a full cargo of 4.307.268 feet at
339,582, and the schooner Wm. H. Mars
ton cleared July 20 carrying 1.209,855
feet that was worth $18,150.
SEW CAXAL SCHEDULE OCT
American-Hawaiian Includes Bos
ton as Regular Port of Call.
In the latest schedule of the American-Hawaiian
line. Issued yesterday. It
Is provided that after the dispatch of
the liners Nevadan and Ohioan from here
this month, the Montanan will sail Sep
tember 10 for Norfolk, New Tork and
Boston; the Dakotan September 22 for
New Tork and Boston; Honolulan Octo
ber 4 for Charleston, New Tork and
Boston; Iowan October 22 for Norfolk,
New Tork and Boston and the Panaman
November 9 for Charleston, New Tork
and Boston.
Through the service of that company
and others operating here this port Is
placed In touch with the principal ports
on the Atlantic aide with regular ser
vice and during the coming year great
er gains are looked for through the
Panama Canal. The steamer George
Hawley, from New Tork by way of the
Golden Gate, began discharging at
Municipal Dock No. 1 yesterday and
may finish Tuesday. She brought 655
tons of "teel for the Willamette Iron
& Steel Works. 352 tons for the United
States Steel Company, Pacific Tank &
Pipe Company and the Crane Company,
while 986 tons are for the Northwest
Steel Company.
CARMS XOW GOLDEN STATE
Wpll-Known Coast Schooner's Xante
Changed Before Sailing.
There sailed from San Francisco yesterday-
the schooner Golden State, a
name which many mariners failed to
recognised and some supposed It to be
a new vessel, but Instead she was orig
inally the Wm. r . Harms, ownea oy tne
Rolph Navigation & Coal Company. The
Commissioner of Navigation authorized
the change in name last week. The
vessel loads lumber on the river for
South Africa,
An arrival In the harbor yesterday
was the brlgantine Geneva, which
berthed at the North Pacific mill to
load lumber for Sydney in the interest
of the American Trading Company.
Though capable of carrying 600.000 feet
of lumber the vessel appears small,
probably because of her two masts and
the fact a brlgantine rig Is a stranger
here. She was chartered at 85 shillings
and It Is said she will make a second
2
t
voyage from here for the same firm
at 90 shillings. '

DELAY IS FORESEEN
Eastland Disaster' May Affect
Seaman's Law Amendment.
EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE
Fact to Be Emphasized That There
Is No Connection Between Trag
'. edy and Objectionable Fea
tures of the Statute.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 31. Shipping; men . who
have been planning; a campaign before
Congress In the hope of bringing about
the repeal or substantial amendment
of the seaman's law, are apprehensive
that the Eastland disaster at Chicago
may operate against them, and be made
the excuse, for refusing to make a
change in the statute which has grown
so unpopular, especially on the Pacific
Coast and on the Great Lakes.
However, the campaign will be
pushed, iand efforts will be made to
emphasize the fact that there is no
connection between the sinking of the
Eastland and those provisions of the
seaman's law to which there is general
objection.
Were it not for the fact that Con
gress is in recess, a Congressional in
vestigation of the Eastland disaster
doubtless would be ordered, and it is
by no means certain that such an in
quiry will not be ordered by the House
of Representatives when it assembles.
Particularly is such an Inquiry likely
to be made if the investigations now
in progress, both Federal, state and
municipal, result in conflicting findings
of fact, and if it be held by responsible
investigators that the steamboat in
spectors were in large measure re
sponsible for the Chicago disaster.
Beyond doubt, if Congress enters on
an investigation of the sinking of the
steamer Eastland, all legislation affect
ing the shipping laws and all bills in
tended to give relief from the seaman's
law will be held in abeyance pending
the findings. There was much senti
ment, both real and artificial, behind
the LaFollette bill during the last Con
gress. Labor unions were strongly
urging the measure, and will be defend
ing It next session, and advocates of
the law will be strqng enough to delay
action on amendatory legislation for
several months, and in that way may
be able to prevent any change in the
seaman's law for at least a year to
come.

Tralti -vlles. chosen all-star third baseman
on the interscholastic nine, is now playing
with the Lang & Co. baseball team In the
Wriitit s Ullsoa League. 111s auuiuuu
this player has strengthened Manager Jack
Osborne's crew and his team will now have
to be recognized as a real contender for first
honors. Irvine won fame while playing with
the Columbia University squad, and It was
his timely swatting that enabled his team
to make such a strong bid for the Inter
scholastic championship.
The Wllsonville nine has one of the best
batteries in the State of Oregon in Tom
and Chick Baker. The work of this pair
has more than put the team In the lime
light and with the help of the Wllsonville
fandom baseball In that town Is getting
quite a boost. Chick Baker, the catcher. Is
a brother of the second-string catcher of
the Detroit Tigers, and with a little moro
experience Chick will be following the foot
steps of his famous brother. Tom. the
pitcher, although a little old, would be a
credit for any team around the Northwest.
Since the disbanding of the famous Cairo
Kola team there hns not been an amateur
nine In the city to startle the amateur fan
dom with forwarding results, with the pos
sible exception of Manager ' Sol Rlchan
bach's Harriman club. His team, which has
played the fastest squads In the State uf
Oregon, and with much success, was the only
nine to rival the then famous Cetro Kolas,
but since the disbanding of that team no
suitable opponent can be found that can
make the railroaders travel. .
Much credit should be given Manager
Durcoupe. of the Hawthorn Merchants, for
his ability to get together such a strong
squad of players as he has. Since the ad
dition of Busher Blake, who has earned a
reputation as an iron man In the box, his
nine has been one cf the hardest teams in
the city to her.t. Manager Durcoune also has
a star catcher on his team in Shoots, and .
with a heavy-hitting squad behind this star
battery his team has climbed its way Into
the limelight in a short time.
Manager Joe Barr wilt take his Kenton
club to Wllsonville today to meet the team
from that place. Manager Barr will put his
strongest lineup In the field to return home
with a victory. Gnlvin and Powers, his star
battery, will do the -battery honors for the
visitors.

LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 31. (Spe
cial.) Stanley Coveleskie, the youngest
member of the famous Coveleskie fam
ily of ballplayers, will be sold to the

non players today declared nothing like

players, and one of them is now the

land will make it possible for the two

H.VT.KXESS JOIN'S CITY LEAGUE
Ex-Big Leaguer, Released by Aber
dene, to Piteli for Piedmont.
"Speck" Harkness, ex-Portland Bee-
ver, big leaguer and still later with the
Aberdeen club of the Northwestern
League, has been signed to twirl for
the Piedmont club of the Portland City
League.
Billie Stepp. the manager of the Ma
roons, secured "Speck's" John Henry
to a Maroon contract last night.
Harkness has been in town since
Friday. He secured his release from
Aberdeen after it was certain that the
club was to be dropped from the circuit
along with Victoria.
"Speck" said yesterday that he would
content himself with playing in tho
Citiy League the rest of tho present
season, but would be in the running
again next year in the big brush.
Stepp will not use Harkness today
agianst the East Side club unless It is
absolutely necessary for him to do so.
"Jude" Moreland will start the game
for the Maroons, but If he does not
come through in good style will be
derricked In favor of Harkness.
Harkness says that the Northwestern
League Is In sore straits financially,
and that the president of the league
told him some time ago that the two
clubs were to be scratched off the
league's roster.
