HOUSER LINES UP 3 Two French Barks and British Ship Fixed in 90s and 8 7s and De mand Xor Early Conveyers Is Keen at This Point. n French bark Eugene Schneider, from Cape Town. 92s 6d. British ship Kinpurney, from Bris bane. 80s. French bark La Fontaine, from Port Nolloth, S7s 6d. This trio now belongs to the M. H. Houser coterie of vessels fixed for grain an 4 the engagements portray that the closing- of the Canal is caus ing cereal exporters to look ahead for Bailing tonnage, though in advance of the Canal trouble the quest was mainly for steam tonnage. The demand tor fairly early 'ships is keun and bidding has been done for vessels that are close at hand, it being reported yesterday that 100 shillings had been refused on a recharter prop osition, it being felt that before long 105 shillings would be paid, ' The vessels last taken by Mr. Houser re for Spring loading. The Eugene Schneider left Taltal August 31 for Cape Town and will make her way in ballast from there. The Kinpurney .ar rived at Cape Town September 9 from New York and proceeded to Brisbane, and the La Fontaine reached Fort Nol loth September 13 from Penarth. Owners of steam vessels are said to be holding for as high as 130 shillings and at present exporters are not of a frame of mind to pay such rates. At the same time, no information is ob tainable bearing on' the probable time when the Canal will reopen, and those loading sailing vessels feel that car roes iloated now may be close to the United Kingdom by the time steamers are able to reach there via, the Canal. The Japanese steamer Hokoku Maru, which Is to steam via the Sues Canal, is expected to sail today. Work on her boilers was not finished so she could get away earlier. The vessel was cleared yesterday with 152,913 bushels of wheat, valued at J 151',!) 13 and her destination is given as the United Kingdom. Another -to follow her, though not over the same route, is the British steamer City of Corinth, both handled by Balfour, Guthrie & Company, and the latter left Seattle at . 11:30 o'clock yesterday for Portland. From here she goes to San Francisco to finish and London will be her ob jective point. Those in port yet to load and get away in the sailing fleet are the Andre Theodore. Hiawatha and Rene, with the Lindfield loaded. More square riggers are due in the river and there should be additional steam tonnage dispatched before December 1. The British steamer Vienna, which is to have her name changed to.Antwerp, Is not coming here to load grain as re ported several weeks ago. She was last reported at Montreal October 24 and is expected to be next heard from in Europe. PAINTING FREE, FRAME PATS New Turtrr Admits $8000 Landscape Without One Cent of Duty. One of the most unusual entries made at the Custom-House in a long time was passed yesterday in the form of a landscape painting from England, valued at S000, which was consigned to W. H. Drant. at the Hotel Portland. It was painted by Corot. and, being an original, no duty was assessed against it. At the same time the frame, not be ing original and admittedly having beer used on another picture, was as sessed a nominal duty. The painting was entered under the new tariff sched ule, and there are many importations listed under that regulation on which no duties are paid. Since there are no foreign lines making Portland di rect on account of the war. shipments are received almost daily from the Orient and Europe that move here by railroad from the port of discharge. MONTICELLO OX CLATSKAX'IE Lewis River to Be Dredged Next and Cowlits Finished in 1916. Finishing digging in the Cowlitz Illver as far as Ostrander, the head of tidewater, the Government dredge Monticello has been shifted to the Clatskanie River, and began operations there yesterday. She will operate there for three weeks, affording tem porary relief for vessels on that stream and then proceed to Lewis River, where the probably will be engaged until about June, 1916. If funds are then available the Mon ticello will be returned to the Cowlitz and dredging continued above Ostran der to clear the channel as far as To ledo, the present head of navigation. The freshet in the Columbia Is being counted on to increase the depths above Ostrander so the digger can be kept there to complete the project. INSPECTORS PASS MANY nosK CITY CREW ARE ALL CER TIFICATED LIFEBOATMES. Liamlnat Ions Continue Today Aboard Arrlvtnic Vnwl Hasten Are Studying Mew Regulations. Every man aboard the "Big Three" liner Rose City is a certificated life-, boatman. Under the law only a spe cific number of lifeboatmen are in quired for each boat and raft, but on the Rose City each officer took the ex amination and in addition every -member of the crew, whether holding a cer tificate as an able seaman or having been disqualified as such, is the pos sessor of the lifeboatman's ticket. The Associated Oil tank steamer Wm. F. Herrin is due in port today and United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller will examine her crew regard less of it being Sunday. Captain Meaney. assistant inspector of hulls, will pass on lifeboatmen aboard the vessel at Linnton and the sailors will come before Captain E. S. Edwards, in spector of hulls, at the Custom-House. A check made yesterday showed that 144 applications had been Issued and . 117 certificates granted able seamen. ' the total rejections being 17. During , the week there will be a number of men up for examinations, as every ves sel arriving here that was not passed on in California will undergo the test as to her crew and equipment. s Masters of vessels are familiarizing themselves with new rules governing ; crews as to their food, quarters, when , to be paid and such features, which '. now become operative. In the. past there have been regulation! or the hfttt.rtnnt v. . . . - - . vu l'.u icu, out. not so stringent as at present. On the other hand certain acts committed by seamen are punishable.' Mariners and officials enforcing the law believe that as soon asltw is thorughly utfderstood there will be less confusion, though in some eases it is questionable if it can be enforced as to all provisions. Aberdeen Shipments Fall Off. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Nov. S (Spe cial.) Lumber water cargo shipments from Grays Harbor during October were the lightest in months, but rail shipments are said to have ohown a good increase. October water ship ments amounted to 22,793.000 feet, dis patched in 32 vessels, eight of which were windjammers. Six of the wind jammers went to Australia and New Zealand and two to the Hawa-iian Is lands. T V. a DftAhc c V. 1 . .

COASTER IS SOLD North Pacific Company Buys Steamship Breakwater. SANTA CLARA IS REPLACED Captain Macgenn Retains Command Under New Owners Vessel Will Leave Tomorrow for San Fran cisco to Effect Repairs. Negotiations have been closed by the North Pacific Steamship Company with the Southern Pacific interests for the purchase of the steamer Breakwater. runu nu;vi ruttl UAJNU IN ITS IS YEARS. STEAMER BREAKWATER. The vessel leaves Coos Bay tomorrow for San Francisco, to have the stern bearings overhauled and minor work done, after which she enters the serv ice of the North Pacific as the succes sor of the steamer Santa Clara, which was wrecked on the south epit at Coos Bay Tuesday night. Captain T. J. Macgenn, master of the Breakwater for nearly 10 years, over a year of which was on the Coos Bay San Francisco run, and about nine years between Portland and Coos Bay, left last night for Marshfield overland and will take the vessel to the Golden Gate, remaining aboard as master. Allan McCullough, for seven years chief engineer of the Breakwater, retains his berth. Members of the crew of the Santa Clara will go aboard the Breakwater to man her In the future, only Captain Macgenn and Chief Engineer McCul lough remaining of her former com pany. Though the Breakwater was turned out at Chester, Pa., in 1880, those who know the ship deny that she shows many traces of age. It is said that the bottom of the hull, boilers and engines were renewed in 1902 when the United Fruit Company spent $128,000 in the work. In 1904, after her purchase by John D. Spreckles, $30,000 was ex pended, and in 1906 Mr. Spreckles in vested J10.000 In improvements. When the Southern Pacific took over the ship in 1907, the sum of $12,000 was au thorised to place her in oondition for the Portland-Coos Bay trade, and that was followed in 1908 by 116.000 more, the largest amount paid for work on her being in 1910, when $53,000 was ex pended. It is understood that the North Pa cific interests will probably equip the vessel with oil burners later, which will cut down her f ireroom force, which now numbers six. She has accommodations for 90 cabin and 30 steerage passen gers and carries 900 tons of cargo. She is reputed among the best bar vessels on the Coast and has plenty of power. Her operation out of Portland has not been featured by an accident of. conse quence and her success has been cred ited in no small way to Captain Mac genn. Messages from Coos Bay yesterday to District Freight Agent Fryer, of the North Pacific, reported that the Santa Clara was breaking up, considerable wreckage coming ashore in addition to the cargo. The vessel carried a new automobile from Portland and no news has been received as to how it is far ing in the general breakup. STEAMER IONE IS DAMAGED Vessel Hits Rock Near Marsten's Landing, on Columbia. Striking a rock near Marsten's Land ing.on the Middle Columbia,- while bound here from Camas Friday night, the steamer lone, of the Western Transportation Company's line, waa headed for the beach by Captain Fred Hagstrom and now lies with ner bow on the beach and her stern in about 14 feet of water, there being about 10 feet of water over the main deck, com pletely submerging the engine-room and only part of the wheelhouse is out of water. Arrangements were made to get barges alongside, one being delivered ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S ' LINER FLOATED AFTER , NEARLY A MONTH SPENT ASHORE NEAR BELLA BELLA. - " ... ., . STEAMER MARIPOSA. Because Harbormaster Speler spent part of his early days at sea aboard the steamer Mariposa, when she waa in the San Francisco-Australian service with the Alameda, a former shipmate has sent him a picture of the vessel, now of the Alaska Steamship Company's line, as she appeared when she went ashore near Bella Bella, in Lama Pas sage, October 8, and from where she was floated November 3. The vessel is under temporary repairs at McLaughlin Bay, B. C. yesterday by the steamer Annie Com ings, and a second one ia to he placed alongside by the steamer Georgia Bur ton. By means of chains stretched un der the hull it is planned to raise the steamer and tow her here for repairs. The lone was on her second trip since leaving Supples yard after having been completely overhauled. She is reported lying in an easy- position and no trou ble is expected in raising her. BAR SURVEY IS NOT ENDED Party Finds Dredged Cut Is Stand ing Up in Most Places. It will be two weeks tomorrow since a surveying party was dispatched by Colonel Potter. Corps of Engineers, United States Army, to make soundings at the entrance to the Columbia River and up to yesterday they had been able to work on the entrance area but little. They made a partial report covering the dredged channel, in which the Chinook worked all season and their data indicate that the cut has been maintained in most places. It is desired that the survey be car ried through th3 south channel before the crew returns, because of reports by masters that slight shoaling has taken place there, which the Govern- CRACK STEEL SHIP THAT HAS &3 ment officers are anxious to ascertain under thier own survey system. Days when the men, who are aboard the tug Geo. H. Mendell, have been unable to work at the entrance they have spent in surveying inside and three shoals there have been covered that are not in the channel, but are included In the charts of the estuary of the Columbia. LUMBER RATE TO RISE charge: to golden gate to be 4 a thousand feet. Inquiry for Prices on N'o. 1 Common Fir Received From Detroit. In dicating; Enlivened. Trade. Coincident with the receipt of in formation that the steam schooner A-urelta, the last idle coaster, lying within San Francisco Bay, had been chartered for a lengthy period for lum ber on a basis of $3.75 a thousand feet from Puget Souna. Grays Harbor and the Columbia River to San Francisco, it became known yesteraay that a fur ther rise is prospective. The new rate will go into effect in a week or 10 days, making the charge from northern ports to San Francisco $4 a thousand feet and $4.56 to ports south of the Golden Gate. Recently there was a Jump of 50 cents made, the rate going to $3.50 to San Francisco and $4 south of there. Besides an increased demand for do mestic lumber, it is said there are nego tiations afoot through which more steamers may be temporarily taVen from the coastwise trade, and that will tend to stiffen charges. Millmen here have received a re quest from Detroit for prices on No. 1 common fir for quick delivery. In the past it is averred that Northwest manu facturers were in competition witti the southern pine mills in that territory and common material could not be handled. One reason for the demand from that portion of the East is cred ited to wholesale purchases of yellow pine stock in the South by representa tives of the Italian government, who are eaid to have contracted for stocks of 100,000 feet and more wherever ob tainable. Orders placed by railroads for con struction material, while lately the calls has been heavier for boxcar lum ber, together with the prospects for a greater movement of lumber into Mexico with a settlement of internal troubles there, are said to be stimu lating the trade. With more tonnage to be had, it is believed an increase in offshore cargoes would shortly bring about an appreciable improvement. Twice In the same year a British fleet forced the passage of the Dardanelles. The necessity arose In 1807, when Napoleon, like the Ka.-aer today, persuaded Turkey to take a hand in a war against Russia, Britain determined to get to Constanti nople and demand the surrender of the Turkish fleet. she got within eight miles of the capital practically unharmed by fire from the forts. y '.I- ..., JT:' "-rff rr nifiti itaVrir-Tr- r tit n 1 - i " ' 1 i i i , ,mm 25-1LL LEVY LIKELY Increase Over Last Year In . -dicated by Reports. NONE IS COMPLETED YET General Estimates Are: City, 8.92 j Schools, 6.6; County, 4.2; Li brary, .45; port of Portland, I, and State Tax Unchanged. With increases in the tax levies of the city and the School Board certain and an increase in the county levy probable, taxpayers of Portland face a total tax levy of not less than 25 mills in 1916, as compared with 23.80 mills for 1915. Budget making still is. under way by all branches of the government supported by Portland taxpayers, so that it is impossible yet to ascertain definitely the amount of the levy. The City of Portland has its levy down to 8.92 mills, which is probably as low as it will go. If any change is made it may be upward rather than downward. This is 1.42 mills higher than the levy for 1915. The Council has finished with its pruning and has submitted the figures to a citizens' ad vistory committee, which will report tomorrow at a meeting with the Coun cil. The School Board of District No. 1, which takes in all of Portland, started out with a budget which would have required more than ,7 mills. It has thinned the figures down to about 6.6 mills, but some additions are probable and the levy is estimated at 6.6 mills. The county levy still is uncertain in some respects. Roadmaster Yeon has submitted his road budget, showing a total which would require a levy of 1.8 mills, as compared with 1.6 mills for the nresent year. For the county's gen eral purposes the budget probably will go at least up to this year's figure of 2.5 mills. It is not expected the county will be able to make any change in this year's levy of .45 mill for the county library and no material change is looked for in the state and county school levy amounting to 1.4 mills. The Port of Portland has some little hope of a re duction in the levy of 1.1 mills, which was the 1916 levy. It is said this levy may be trimmed down to a mill or less. The state levy is uncertain. How ever, members of the Tax Commission say the levy will be about the same as for the present year. There is a dif ference of opinion at Salem on this question, but no material reduction -is looked for. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DUB TO ARRIVE. Nam. From Date.
