EXPORTERS GET BUSY
Cereal Shippers Look Ahead
for Sailing Tonnage.
M. H. 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.

SANTA CLARA IS REPLACED
Captain Macgenn Retains Command
Under New Owners Vessel Will
Leave Tomorrow for San Fran

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 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

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

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.

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.
