THE SUNDAY ORECOXIAX, PORTLAND, MAY 14.' 1916. 16 MAYAGHI (Mill IS IN Young Japanese Skipper Ends Difficult Trip Across. ARRIVAL DELAYED BY GALE Vessel Heads Into Blow for 12 Hours 'Willi Disabled Steering Gear Sulphur and Hard wood Come Off Here. ?aptain M. Miyake is years of age and has been in command of ves te.ls two years, but being one of the youngest skippers in the Nipponese merchant marine does not detract from his ability to handle the Japanese steamer Mayachi JIaru. which reached municipal dock No. 2 at 1 o'clock yes terday morning, after a voyage or days from Otaru to the Columbia River. Soon after getting away from the Japanese coast, the ship ran into a blow and the rods of the steering gear are said to have carried away. The heavy sea running made it impossible to restore the connections aft. The break occurred when the ship was headed into the sea, so for 12 hours Captain Miyake steamed her at full epeed into the teeth of the blow, so held on fairly well. Repairs were made the following day, but the event is credited with having lost about two days on the voyage. Captain Miyake says that Japanese nhipyards have been going to their full capacity, but when he left the other side a shortage of steel was apparent, shipments from the United States not having been received regularly. With the Tanama Canal open, it is expected more vessels laden with steel will be sent from New York via that route. The Mayachi Maru was formerly the Tami Maru, and was sold shortly be fore starting to load at Otaru, hence the change of name. Mayachi is said to be a word originally coined by the Ainu race, at one time powerful in Japan, but now reduced to a total of 20.000 persons, cared for by the gov ernment on reservations in Northen Japan. They :re of larger stature and fairer skin than the Japanese. It was not after the tribe that the steamer was named, but for the Mayachi mine. Which her owners control. It was decided yesterday to work overtime on the steamer today as well as tomorrow night, so as to discharge 3.000.000 feet of hardwood and 500 tons of sulphur and 1200 tons of sulphur will then be put off at dock No. 3. St. Johns. The ship proceeds from Port land to Seattle and there will be loaded for Vladivostok under charter to James Oriffiths & Sons. y.......... .................................................................. ..t j STREET END BECOMES ATTRACTIVE SPOT ON WATERFRONT THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS i FOSTERED BY MUNICIPAL BODIES. . .J - .i .. ......ii i.i i i. i 1 1 1 turn l . , 11 1 . 11 . i j . in. vw u rrrpwv'i rr n . . -. -y W ' l 4 ""-Z?'C !

It was a jolly crowd of passengers to leave the North Bank depot' yester day on the Great Northern Pacific steamer train to connect with the fleet turbiner Great Northern at Flavel. More than 100 were in the party and the run along the Willamette and Co lumbia rivers, favored by most delight ful weather, was enjoyable. Frompt connections were made with the biff liner near the mouth of the Columbia and she passed onto a smooth sea with a prentle breeze from the northwest, ideal conditions beiner her lot as she headed for the California coast and established her steady Dace to make the Golden Gate on scheduled time. The Great Northern had aboard 1203 tons of freight, in the shipments beinsj tar, gunnies, cereals, wire, box yhooks, paper and canned salmon.

JETTY FUND XEED EMPHASIZED Government Issues Xew Publication In Interest of Navigators. The Urited States Coast and Geodetic Survey has issued a Coast Pilot that will doubtless be a boon to Alaskan shipping. This book, containing 303 pages, including indexes, covers the waters of the coast of Alaska from Yakutat Bay to the Arctic Ocean, the various groups of islands along the south side of the Alaska Peninsula, the Aleutian Islands, Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, Bristol Bay and various other indentations. The volume is intended to be used as a supplement to the Alaskan charts. In it are contained minute directions for the navigation of Alaskan waters, giving information as to the currents. waning direction and special features as to the waters of particular local ities, ihe book is sold for 50 cents, me cost of paper and printing. It can be ordered from the superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Washington, D. C, making re mittance by postal money order. CRAHAMOXA REPAIRS START Multnomah County Has Work Done at Plant of Joseph Supple. Repairs to the Yellow Stack steamer Grahamona having been arranged for by the Multnomah County Commis sioners, the vessel having been dam aged when the Morrison-street bridge draw swung against her Monday night, she was shifted to Supple's yard yes terday from Taylor-street dock and the rehabilitation begun. Matt Welch, county superintendent of bridges, will be in charge as the rep resentative of the county and Captain A. W. Graham, manager of the Yellow Stack fleet, will look after the work for the company. Mr. Supple is to handle the job on a day-labor basis, and efforts will be put forth to hasten it so the vessel may be available for service without delay. She was badly raked on the starboard side, the draw striking the purser's office and sweep ing through the superstructure, tear ing out partitions, hog posts and the upper deck. BEAU TAKES LIGHTEST LOAD At I liat. "Big Three" Steamer Is Dispatched with 2300 Tons. Though there were S300 tons of com modifies stowed beneath her hatches when she sailed yesterday afternoon, it was the smallest cargo the steamer Bear has taken from Portland for Cali fornia ports in a year. The reason for the vessel not being crammed to ca pacity was the fact the steamer Rose City sailed Wednesday, a place being made for her on the sailing card so she could get back in line after hav ing been laid up since January 1. The liner Beaver, due Tuesday, sails Friday and now that all of the vessels Chamber to Urge Immediate Action to Prevent Suspension of Work. Action will be taken by the Chamber of Commerce in directing the attention of the Oregon delegation at Washing ton to the danger of operations on the north jetty being suspended next month unless the rivers and harbors bill is passed. News that a shutdown is contem plated June 15 because funds on hand will not carry the project beyond that date, and at the same time leave money for maintaining the dredge Chinook on the entrance channel work until Octo ber, caused considerable discussion yes terday. Not only the jetty's advance ment, but other improvements will be retarded if Congress does not act im mediately. RIVER SCHEDULES RESUMING Summer Season Causes Renewed In terest in Excursions. Good weather has revived inquirie as to excursions and today is expected to witness the largest crowd so far this season aboard the propeller Georg- iana, when she pulls away from Wash ington-street dock for Astoria this morning. The O.-w. R. & N. steamer Harvest Queen made her first Saturday night trip of the season last night and today the schedule of trains on the North Beach road will change to permit Sun day visitors to reach there. The steamer Bailey Gatzert was shifted to the Standard mill dock yes terday, where her painting is being fin ished and she goes into service June l. making the excursion run from Port land to Stevenson daily. Pnjret Sound Interests Open Negoti ations for Change, but Com mercial Forces Here . Fight for Retention. When the Columbia Contract Com pany transports the last of an order for S.000.000 feet of lumber placed by the Government with the Kagle Lumber Company for delivery at Anchorage. It is proposed to make permanent the barge service between Portland and Alaska. The company is loading the first two barges at Inman-Poulsen's mill and they will be started north in a few days, followed by two others. The tugs Samson and Henry J. Kiddle will tow two of the fleet at a time and such dispatch is planned that the lumber contract will be closed before the Alas ka season Is half over. Tuget Sound lumber interests have opened negotiations with the Columbia Contract Company to have the tugs and barges operate from there to Alaska when the last lumber Is moved from here, but commercial interests have stepped into tluj field and propose to retain the fleet In the Portland trade, making a stronger bid for lumber busi ness and adding steel and similar com- so lower for a rapid rate.

Wm Klder and Breakwater Were Made by Same Concern aa Snip That Turned Turtle. In the destruction of a vessel at sea the concern of the general public Is chiefly centered on the loss of life. Mariners, while as deeply interested that feature, especially wtien old shipmates are thought aboard, are prone to hark back to the history of the vessel, as they did the other day relative to the loss of the steamer Roa noke off the California coast, when bound from Kan Francisco for South ern waters. She was what the shipping fraternity term a John Hoach ship. That is, a vessel constructed by the now famous shipbuilder, whowe pioneer yard at Chester, Pa., was the birthplace of some of the best-known vessels on the At lantic and Pacific. S?he was launched 1882 and even her machinery was turned out by the Roach force. The steamer Geo. W. fc-Ider, fleet- mate of the Koanoke and now in serv ice on . the run from San Francisco south, is also a product of the Roach yard, being built in ISM. while the steamer Breakwater, flying the same flag and operating between Portland and San Die.go, was launched by John Koach in 1SS0. Other vessels known here, the Rose City, of the "Big Three"' line: the Kan sas City, formerly in that service and now operated by the Alaska Steamship Company; the Yucatan, owned by the North Pacific interests which have the Roanoke and operate the Klder and Breakwater, were built at Chester, Pa. but not by the Roach corporation. Recently the New lork Marine Jour nal printed the following concerning the Geo. V. Klder: "She was originally built for the Old Dominion Steamship Company by John Roach at Chester, Pa., and is at the present time 41! years old. She was considered one of the best of her class at that time, while her 42 years' serv ice, a large part of it on the Pacific Coast, proves it. This was one of the many staunch vessels that this late eminent shipbuilder constructed, and It can be said without fear of contradic tion that none of the large fleet of steamers that he built, when this fa mous yard was In the height of pros perity, was ever lost through struc tural weakness." submarine flotilla stationed there.

'The Winter injury Is most severe in regions affected by drought and Is especially noticeable upon shallow soils and those soils having poor drain age, and tn orchards suffering from lack of cultivation, said Professor Lewis.
