With steel freighters being con tracted for these days as high as Jl, 200, 000 each, and the value of five masted auxiliary schooners is con servatively fixed at 250.000, the work bpfng done by shipbuilders along the river, that is rated at 22.000,000. over shadows the total value of cereal and lumber exports from Portland during the 1913-14 season, which was. before the European war, with its resultant scarcity of tonnage. The cereal export values for that period were 5,673.098 for wheat. 2, 673.745 for flour and 1.872.829 for bar ley, while lumber exports were $2,169, 824, or $12,389,496 in all. Of course, the grain and lumber fleets disburse large sums for cargo handling, sup plies and other port expenses, but the number of individuals to be benefited here through the ship work when at Its maximum capacity will be greater than those employed on cargo during the busiest seasons. One Plant to Employ 1SOO Men. " A. F. Smith, head of the Columbia River. Shipbuilding Corporation, an nounces that his company will have from 1200 to 1500 men on Its payroll when the plant is working full time. It being Intended to build the six ships under contract, complete in every de tail. Boiler and machine shops will be erected on the site, which Is next to that of the Northwest Steel Company, no all but the turbine engines coming from the East will be turned out here. The same plan is followed by the Northwest Steel Company and Willam ette Iron & Steel Company, the former building the ships, there being eight under contract, while the Willamette Interests manufacture the machinery, except the turbines, and attend to all Installation. Each of those plants now is working more thai 600 men. The Albina Engine & Machine Works having contracts for smaller vessels, they being 3300 tons deadweight, while the other ships are of 8800 tons, will have a complete plant for all work, as the main engines will be turned out as weli as boilers and auxiliary gear. Other Yard Are Bust. At the McEachern yard. Astoria, more than 300 men are worjclng, about 260 at the Peninsula plant, and other wooden yards have smaller forces, but all will Increase as work arranged for Is begun. Progress is not expected to be limited during the Winter, because sheds are being provided over all ves sels for protection against weather. With the steel ship contracts nas come new business for smaller plants In the way of turning out castings, brasses and different parts, as well aa lifeboats, also supplies and gear from ship chandlers, and in cabin furnish ings more of the shore fraternity will benefit, while future promises include the establishment of a steel roller mill for turning out steel required here and elsewhere along the coast. CHANGE OF NAME PROPOSED Astoria Builder's Name Selected by New Stockholders. One step to follow the purchase last week of a large interest in the Mc Eachern-Standifer-Clarkson Ship Com pany, at Astoria, by A. O. Anderson & Co. will be to change the name to the McEachern Shipbuilding Company. Mr. McEachern, who established the plant, retains his Interest and the general management of the corporation, Guy M, Standifer and James Clarkson having disposed of their noldings. They will concentrate their attention on the Ktandifer-Clarkson Company's affairs on North Portland harbor, where ships are bunding and more are to be con traded for. Another plant increasing its activity Is the Columbia Engineering Works, at I.irnton. where three four-masted auxiliary schooners are under contract. The first is on the ways and work on the keel, stem and other parts of the necond is going ahead. They will be 156 foet long, with 36-foot beam and 14 foot depth of hold. Like others now building, they will be of the "bald headed" type. A second set of ways is being completed and both will be cov ered by shed. MWZAXITA TO CARRY BOARD .Naval liase Trip will Be Made on District Ijiglithot.se Tender, Inspection of the Willamette and Columbia rivers by a commiHSion from Washington, having to do with the se lection of naval bases, will probably be made "aboard'the lighthouse tender Manzanita, instructions having been re ceived from Washington to place one of the vessels at the disposal of the board, while the Chamber of Commerce has also interested itself in the mat ter with the expectation of having Inspector Warrack, of the Seventeenth lighthouse District, arrange for trans portation on the river. The Manzanita, is due for her annual overhauling and considerable new work rnrly in December. While definite In formation as to the arrival of the com mission is lacking, it is thought prob able the vessel can be laid up for over hauling immediately after the river trip. LATEST ADJUNCT TO M'CORMICK 3 - " m j, IT B' . . -i " . " -"-s-: r-' - - r &&s s OLO WRECK USED i -i Steamer Portland, on Katalla Beach, Object of Salvage. SHIP PARTS ARE NEEDED Vessel on Boneyard Has Romantic Career Once Involved In Ques tionable Enterprises Later on Alaskan Bun. ' Scarcity of tonnage, which has so far drawn from marine boneyards and various havens along the Coast rem nants of what once were good ships, to be rehabilitated for present purposes, the purchase of the old Columbia River lightvessel No. 50 here a week ago to be refitted for the Mexican trade being an instance, has gone so far that the old steamer Portland, better known here In the early part of her varied career as the Haytien Republic, is to be taken from her resting place on the beach at Katalla so that metal and other parts can be salvaged, and some stuff may find Its way into new ships now building-. It was 19 years ago in July that the arrival of the Portland at Seattle with the first shipment of Klondike gold started the stampede to the north, the wealth having been panned from the Yukon River. Commenting on the gen eral history of the steamer, the Rail way and Marine News says: The Portland besan her loniy career In 188i. under the name of the Haytien Ke public, and she started at once to furnish copy for the newspapers, as she was seized for carrying contraband to ine reoeis in Hayti. When the United States Government forced her release, an attempt was maae io sink her as she left the harbor of Port au Prince, and the marks or this Drusn wnn the gunboat selected to do the work were still visible when she came to the pacinc Coast In 18S9. She failed to make sooa ootn as a can nery boat and passenger steamer; and was finally chartered for service between PuKet i Sound and. the .Columbia River. It is saiu that later she became a carrier of contra hnnri rhinese and onium. at which she was successful until seized and sold by the Gov ernment at Portland. Her new owners renamed her the Port land, and after improving the vessel sne had a varied and somewhat respectable career, running to all points between Pan .mo r,H the Aleutian Islands, until she be came one of the fleet of the old Alaska Coast Company, one of the concerns irom wnu.ii has grown the Admiral Line, and in which service she remained for years as a popuiar freight and passenger carrier, until nci un fortunate wreck in a heavy snow storm in November. 1U10. in tne treacnerous u. of Katalla. Probably all that remains oi mo sum bihm Portland in Seattle is the hardwood wneei taken from the pilot house after the wreck and presented to Dr. F. B.

COLO.VEL CAVANATJGH TO SERVE Work to Be Divided When Colonel Potter Goes to Boston. Assignment of Lieutenant-Colonel Potter, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., in charge of the North Pacific divi sion with headquarters at Portland, to Boston, where he takes charge of all projects in that territory, means his work as division engineer will be taken over for the present by Lieuten ant-Colonel P. J. Cavanaugh, district engineer in the state of ashington. Minor duties of construction and re nairs in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Lighthouse Districts will probably be assigned to Major Arthur Williams, in charge of the First Portland District. Colonel Potter came here to succeed Colonel McKinstry, and soon after relieving him turned over the duties of the Second Oregon District to Major Henry C. Jewett, retaining only the responsibilities of division engineer. It is the second time Colonel Potter has been on duty here, the first having been Just before the Spanish-American war, and he was ordered from Portland to Manila, serving as chief engineer of the Eighth Army Corps with the rank of Lieutenant-Colon il of Volunteer NEW TIDE TABLES READY Government Makes Many Changes In Publication for Mariners.

Loaded with every package of freight that could be stowed aboard, the steamer Rose City departed yesterday COAST FLEET TAKES WATER AT BY BUILDER S DAUGHTER. Launched at Wilson Bros." yard, As toria, . Thursday, the hull of the new steam schooner Wahakeena is to be towed to San Francisco to have her machinery installed. The steamer Klamath has been selected for the tow and will leave In about two weesks, both vessels to be loaded with lumber. A second steam schooner for the McCor mick flag is building at Wilson Bros.' plant and will be launched next month. -Aiiss .uartna vviison. wno cnristenea the ship, is the 16-year-old daughter of Charles Wilson, of the firm. The steamers are 207',i feet long. 40-foot beam and 16-foot depth of hold. They are to carry about 1,250,000 feet of lumber. Triple expansion engines of 850-horsepower will be installed. afternoon for California cities, and it appeared as if only slight inroad had been made on the piles of cargo await ing shipment, so the San Francisco & Portland management did not announce any change in the freight eraoargo placed a week ago. As to passengers. Captain Rankin had about 70 guests in the cabin, while forward the steerage crowd numbered ajmost as many. G. L. Blair, general manager of the line, who ptnt' more than a week here, left on the steamer for his San Francisco hfaUquarters. So far ef forts to add' extra facilities to the line in the way of another vessel have been fruitless. The Beaver is due on Wednesday.and she will move in the neighborhood of 2700 tons of the cc cumulated consignments, after which there may be a more hopeful outlooK for lifting the embargo. Limited car supply serves to keep back a larger movement via Flavel on the liner Northern Pacific. ORDER NOT TO BE ENFORCED Metal Casing In I'lrerooms and Auto matic Sprinklers Waived. TACOMA.

Vessels under construction in Great Britain September 30 number 465 steamers and four sailers and they range from 135 carriers of front 100 to 500 tons gross to a class between 30.000 and 40,000. tons gross, of which there were two. Walter Lang, representing Lloyd's Register of Shipping at Portland, is in reeeipt of data covering ship construc tion there and for the quarter ending September 30, it is shown there were 9b vessels commenced and bS launched the ones started havintt a combined gross tonnage of 320.120 and those launched represented 192.267 tons gross. The statement in general is aa fol lows: "In consequence of the war it Is not possible at present to publish the usual Information regarding the shipbuilding industry throughout the world. The present returns are therefore confined to merchant vessels in course of con struction in the tinlted Kingdom. "The returns compiled by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, which only take into account vessels of 100 tons and up- hwards the construction of which nas actually begun, show that there were 469 merchant vessels of 1.789,054 tons gross under construction In the United Kingdom at the close of the quarter ended September 30, 1916. The particu lars of the vessels in question are as follows, similar deaails being given for the, last quarter and for the 30th Sep tember. 1915. for the purpose of com parison "The tonnage now under construct lion in the United Kingdom is about 249.000 tons more than that which was in hand at the end of last quarter, and about 253.000 tons more than the ton nage building 12 months ago. It will be understood that the rate of progress in merchant ship construction continues to be very much reduced in the present circumstances and that the Immediate nutnut will be considerably less than that which would be under normal con ditions. "The following table gives the total figures for vessels now under con struction in some of the principal ship building districts of the country, as compared with those for the last quar ter and 12 months ago. fcaen aistrict, of course, includes places in the neigh borhood of the port after which it is named: ISLAXD TRIP DRAWS MANY Northwest Cities Represented Among Great Northern's Passengers Among travelers from the Northwest who sailed from San Francisco on the liner Great Northern for the Hawaiian Islands Tuesday were: Preside.nt and Mrs. L.

EARLY SUCCESS EXPECTED Vessel Killic-r lo lie Floated or Pit nullified by San Francisco Wreck ins Concern for Half of Value of Boat. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 11. Special.) A contract for the salvlna; of tho Bear, formerly owned by the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany, which lias been RKround near Cape Mendocino since last June, was closed today by P. A. Becker, of L.loyd'3 Insurance AKency, with the Porter Wrecking Company. of this city. W. T. Cleverdon. a marine insurance RKent and adjuster, and R. C Porter, an attorney, are headinK the wrecking concern, which is backed financially by local marine and lumber interests. They will receive one-half of tne ship's value upon delivering her to drydock here. According to fleverdon. if the present demand for modern eteel steamers does not slump, the boat will be worth about l.lO.uOd when re paired. One attempt to save the Bear has been abandoned, the steamer being turned over to the underwriters. In case the Porter Company falls to float her it has the privilege of dis mantling her and dividing the pro ceeds of the sale of her engines and equipment with Lloyds, after deducting expense incurred. Cleverdon bases his hope of raislntr the Hear on the efficacy of the Brash er compressed air system, which breaks' up the waves beating on the essel's side. The salvage company expects to have the vessel in drydock by January The wrecked steamer Bandon. run aground off Port Orford.
