THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, OCTOBER 4, 1915.
ARREST WILL TEST
OREGON PILOT LAW
Captain Randall Rogers Held
for Bringing in Steamer
Without State License.
OUTSIDERS ARE BARRED
Accused Mariner Took Steamship
Bankoku Mam Across Columbia
Bar for Charterers Who De
clined Local Men's Aid.
'
ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 23. (Special.)
. criminal action that will test the
validity of the Oregon law governing
pilotage at the mouth of the river was
commenced today, when an informa
tion signed by Captain E. L. Parsons,
a bar pilot, was filed in Justice Court,
charging Randall Rogers with "pilot
ing a vessel upon and over the bar
pilotage grounds of the Columbia River
without a license therefor and not be
ing owner or master thereof-" Rogers
"was arrested in Portland on a warrant
from this place, and Deputy Sheriff
Spicer left for Portland this evening
to bring the man here for a prelimi
nary hearing.
The specific charge against Rogers is
that he brought the Japanese steamer
Bankoku Maru into the river October
19. He holds a Federal masters' license
indorsed for the Columbia River bar,
but has no state license for the bar.
It is asserted that while there is no
compulsory pilotage at the mouth of
the river, the state laws do provide that
when a foreign vessel or an American
vessel that is not under register does
take a pilot, that pilot must be a man
holding a state license. On American
vessels, however, if they are under
register, any master holding a Federal
master's license can act as pilot.
George J. Uhier, chief of the Federal
eteawiboat inspection service, in two
decisions rendered upon request of the
fcjan Francisco pilots, held that a Fed
eral license applies only to American
vessels and not to foreign carriers. In
connection with the Bankoku Maru, it
is stated that while' the vessel was in
San Francisco, Captain Hansen, one of
the bar pilots, offered his services to
the master of the-steamer, but the lat
ter replied that he had no accommoda
tions on board to bring a pilot up the
coast.
Later, however, the charterers of the
steamer employed Captain Rogers to
bring the vessel to the Columbia River
and to take her from here to British
Columbia. When the steamer came up
to the mouth of the river Captain Par
sons, who was on the tug Wallula,
hailed her, but his services were de
clined. It is now said that the steamer
has paid Captain Rogers for his serv
ices and. In order that the steamer may
not be burdened with two pilotage
charges, the local pilots have agreed to
take her out without charge.
Vhile the penalty for conviction un
der this law is $500, it is understood
the main object of the action is to test
the right of outside pilots to infringe
on this territory.
CAPTAIN IS A It RUSTED HERE
Mariner Says He Understood Objec
tions Had Been Dropped.
Following the receipt of telegraphic
Instructions here. Captain Rogers was
taken into custody by Harbormaster
fcfpeier. He was released by Judge
Stevenson, of the Municipal Court,
pending the arrival of Deputy Sheriff
fcipicer. It is understood that bonds
were fixed at Astoria in the sum of
7500.
Captain Rogers said yesterday that
he knew there had been an objection
by the ba pilots to his piloting the
vessel, but that he understood they
had agreed with the China Import Wi
Kxport Lumber Company, charterer of
the vessel, not to press the matter.
"Others have handled foreign vessels
into the Columbia River wimout hold
ing branches issued by the Oregon
.State Board of Pilot Commissioners,
and I do not understand why any
effort should be made to prevent me
doing the same," said Captain Rogers.
He is well known here, having been
a mate on the steamer Rose City and
later was in the tug service at the
mouth of the river. Of late he has
been on vessels plying out of San
Francisco. He said he was employed
to take the ship from the Golden Gate
to the Columbia River, and after she
is loaded, which will be about Wednes
day, he was to take her out of the
river and on to British Columbia, where
he 'will coal for her trip to Shanghai.
The steamer is now working lumber at
In ma n- Poulsen's.
Immediately on the arrival of tho
Bankoku Maru in the river the bar
pilots complained to the Pilot Commis
hion of an outside pilot handling the
hip, but no action was taken pending
the return of C G. Wilson, of the Clark
& Wilson Lumber Company, president
of the Commission, who is in Cali
lornta. A similar complaint was made
when the British steamer Hackensack
was brought into the river recently
by a man named Graham, who boarded
her at San Franciscso.
CHINOOK CAPTAIN' HONORED
Government Dredge Pilot to Enjoy
30-Day Leave of Absence.
ASTORIA. Or.. Oct. 23. (Special.)
Captain John Mareno, master of the
Crovernmient dredge Chinook, who, with
his wife, left tonight for San Francisco

STEAMER STANLEY DOLLAR.
Toward the last of the -week the steamer Stanley Dollar is due here to work 1000 tons of wheat, 225 tons
of flour, 45 tons of box shooks and 204,000 feet of lumber for South American ports, the vessel being in
the Grace Bervice. which will also have the steamer Columbia here Wednesday to take on 2000 tons of
wheat and 300,000 feet of lumber for the same region. The steamer Tampico. engaged by Sudden &
Christenson, arrived yesterday from Philadelphia and is to load a full underdeck cargo of flour, taking a
deckload of lumber for the West Coast.
DREDGE STARTS GUI
Work on Slaughter's Channel
Will Begin Tomorrow.
STRAIGHT COURSE PLANNED
New Koute to Be Two and One-Half
Miles Long, 300 Feet Wide and
33 Feet Deep Dec p water Ves
sels Avoid Making Turns.
When the Government pipeline
-Iredge Wahkiakum cuts the first ma
morrow there will be started one of
the most important Improvements
planned under the present project call
ing for a least deptn of 330 feet be
tween Portland and the sea. The cut
is to be finished about May 15 and will
straighten out and deepen a stretch of
channel now objectionable to rivermen.
The Wahkiakum will be joined about
January 1 by the dredge Multnomah,
and both will be employed steadily
there until the task is ended.
A total of about 2,000,000 cubic yards
of material is to be removed, and that
will be placed on the Oregon side on
a line with the Walker Island dyke, so
the dump will form an artificial shore
and assist in a large measure toward
maintaining the new cut. Whether the
dump wilt be permanently faced later is
to be determined, but it is not thought
that it will be washed below the low
water level orrce the cut is made.
The existing channel follows the
Washington shore from the lower end
of Rainier to the Ladu Light- It is
objected to because of being too close
to shore, making it hard to navigate,
and besides it is difficult to maintain.
There are three ranges, or as many dif
ferent courses, in that stretch, so it is
necessary to swing deepwater ships ac
cordingly, while the new cut will be
straight from about the same point at
the upper end as the present channel,
and ending at Ladu Light.
The length of the cut will be two
and a half miles and it will have a least
width of 300 feet at first, with a depth
of 33 feet. There will be ranges estab
lished at both ends of the cut, and pi
lots will have a straight course in run
ning it.
The Wahkiakum has completed work
at Dobelbower'a and goes to Slaughter's
today or tomorrow morning. The Mult
nomah is engaged at Henrici's and is to
end her labors there In three weeks,
after which she goes to St. Helens and
later to Martin's Island. She will be
assigned to the new cut when other
work mapped out for her is attended to,
and should dredging be required ' on
lower stretches of the river afterward,
the Clatsop will be brought up from the
estuary.
On the bar. the dredge Chinook is
reported to be progressing, though un
favorable weather causes delay at
times, and the fact she is operating
with a single crew prevents her frtom
making a showing to compare with
what she did during the Summer.
STEAMBOAT TERMINAL TALK
Owners Kevive Proposal Made by
Dock Commission Early in Season.
Steamboatmen have discussed - in a
general way a plan to utilize Municipal
Dock Xo. . 2 as a terminal for river
steamers, the idea being for a majority
of them to make their headquarters
there and, with many expenses now-
shouldered on individual docks being
aver a substantial
eliminated, some
saving could be made. One official
says there could be saved about $30,000
a year that is now paid largely for
overhead expenses.
The Commission of Public Docks took
up the question with some of the oper
ators a few months ago, but it was
said then a majority could not be Im
pressed with the value of establishing
a main terminal. One argument in
favor of the plan is that firms forward
ing goods for shipment on river lines
would not have to malte deliveries to a
number of places, but simply order
their drivers to Dock No. 2 and the
loads could be distributed In one shed.
Each line would have a representa
tive on the dock to look after ship
ments. As to passenger business, it is
said to be no more inconvenient for the
public to reach the foot of ast Wash
ington street than to make the land
ings on the West Side, as at present.
Jetty Above Toledo Completed.
CEXTRALIA, Wash.. Oct. 23. (Spe
cial.) The construction of a jetty on
the Cow litx River above Toledo to pre
vent the washing away of the banks
during high water has about been com
pleted by A. Li. Preston, a local bridge
contractor. The jetty extends half
way out into the river and has been
filled with old trees weighted down
with sacks of gravel to- make it sub-
stanti.aL This week a subscription was1
circulated in Toledo and sufficient'
money raised to buy planking -with
which to face the jetty. ,

TREELESb RESERVE GOES

IS . THING OF HAST.
Rabbins; or Squirrel'' . In ' Idah. to
Make Forest on Sand Hllla
Comes to Dismal Failure.
ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Oct. 25. A whole forest re
serve will be wiped off the map on
December 1 by direction of President
Wilson, acting on the recommendation
of Secretary Lane and Secretary Hous
ton. This is the first time since con
servation became a fad that such a
thing has. been done. The Paulina
Forest Reserve in Oregon recently was
abolished, but a considerable part of
that reserve was added to adjoining
reserves.
In the present instance, however,
the Kansas Forest Reserve, in the
State of Kansas, is utterly abolished,
and the lands. 139,000 acres of them,
are to be opened to entry under the
dry-farm homestead bill.
The Kansas Forest Reserve was one
of the creatures of Pinchotlsm. In
1905 President Roosevelt, on recom
mendation of the then Forester, created
this reserve, embracing 97,000 acres in
the sandhill region of Western Kansas.
There was not a tree on the entire
area, but Mr. Pinchot proposed to make
trees grow there, and established a
nursery on the reserve, planted seed
gathered from the forests of Idaho,
"by robbing the squirrels," as the late
Senator Heyburn repeatedly charged,
and by trying to make seedlings grow
and thrive in the sand-hill country.
Two years later, and before the ex
periment could be tested, Mr. Pinchot
secured the addition of 202,000 acres of
sandhills to the Kansas reserve and
on this larger area he undertook the
planting of trees.
From time to time the area of the
Kansas reserve was cut down, as tree
propagation proved a failure, until now
less than 139,000 acres of Government
land renain.

RENE IS TAKEN HERE
Report Is French Bark Gets
100s Grain Rate.
STRAUSS IS CHARTERER
Vessel Is Desirable Because En
Route From Kobe Two Local
Firms Have Made Attrac
tive Profit on Ship.
Of two transactions yesterday in the
grain freight market one was of par
ticular interest, the recharter of the
French baric Rene by the Portland
Flouring Mills Company to Strauss &
Company, the latter taking the vessel
at about 100 shillings, according to re
ports. The Rene was rechartered a
few days ago from Hind Rolph & Com
pany by the Portland Flouring Mills
Company at what is now said to have
been 7s 6d. Her original engagement
was for 80 shillings. She will be loaded
by the Northern Grain & Warehouse
Company.
At the same time Hind, Rolph & Com
pany relet the Rene hey also turned
over the British ship Lansdale, which
they had taken at S2s 6d, and are said
to have let her go at about 90 shillings.
To take care of at least one cargo that
had been planned. Hind, Rolph & Com
pany yesterday chartered the French
bark Bossuet at 5 shillings for April
loading.
Rene la Desirable.
The Rene is regarded a desirable
bhip at this time because of her posi
tion, she having sailed from Kobe, and
is due here early next month. The
vessel has been the means of two firms
making an attractive profit already
without having shouldered any ma
terial expense and the rate of 100 shill
ings marks the highest yet paid for
sailing tonnage.
The Bossuet arrived at Etlesmere
September 27 from Tocopilla. She is
among the best known Frenchmen that
have traded from Pacific Coast ports.
The Langdale was last reported at Al
bany October 2, but was expected to
get under way soon for this harbor.
On future engagements exporters
have been advised that steamers can
be had at 120 shillings, but there is a
feeling that less may be taken, though
that may depend on the Panama Canal
situation. There was an unofficial re
port yesterdav that ships not drawing
more than 20 feet might be passed
through by January 1. but even if such
is the case it will 'not afford relief for
vessels bound from here with grain.
Fihrwohl Ueavea Soon.
The Fahrwohl. which is working a
barley cargo at Irving dock, will be
started for sea this week, and her
place is to be taken by the Lindfield
after the latter is drydocked. The
Nordeee is to be loaded without loss of
time, but may not be included with
the October fleet. m
There is some apprehension felt that
steamers on the way might be requisi
tioned by the British government, as
was done with the Harewood. which
reached the river yesterday and was
sent to British Columbia. The desire to
move lumber to England caused avail
able veeeels to be picked up in advance
of the Canal trouble, but that delay is
thought to make it more probable that
steamers now in Pacific waters mio-hr
e commandeered.
Marine Notes.
United States Steamboat Inspectors Ed
wards and Fuller have ordered the annual
Inspection of tne little sternwheeler Cheater
to be held at Kelso tomorrow. She is now
out of service until the stage of tho Cow
llts Improves.
Because of rush of business on the lower
river the steamer Lurllne was late reaching
here yesterday and got away at 4 o'cIock
in the afternoon on the return to Astoria.
Lumber laden for California the steamer
Santa Monica sailed last night from West
port and the steamer Johan Poulsen left
from Oak Point. Ths steamer J. B. Stetson
was to have left St. Helens today but her
sailing has been postponed until tomorrow.
Grain exports from Portland for the week
endii g yesterday were 141,844 bushels of
wheat and $1.M bushels of barley. Ex
ports the preceding week were 272,023
bushels of wheat.
Collector of Customs Burke returned yes
terday from Washington. D. C. where he
attended a convention of collectors from
all ports, and as a member of an efficiency
committee there he took up with the Trea
sury Department the proposed . change in
customs boundaries here so that the north
bank of the Columbia will be Included in
the Oregon zone as a means of facilitating
the dispatch of vessels. Collector Burke
Is hopeful that the change will be made.
There were a number of passengers
aboard the steamer Stranger when she left

This Thompson piano at $290 is
establishing a new standard of value
in Northwestern Piano Industry.
One has to hear and see the
Thompson piano to appreciate the
musical quality.
Whatever may be claimed for other
pianos, at or near the price, the fact
remains the Thompson is the only
piano at $290 of the supreme musical
worth, besides, you need not pay in
terest which would add, at the usual
$375 retail price of this piano, $57.27,
and, therefore, a piano of such quality
elsewhere would cost you $432.27.
This -week you 'will have an opportunity
to realize with us upon a special reduction,
because of a check from the freight com

the five carloads of brand-new (harnessed)

While it would be difficult for you to
