In the case of privately owj.ed vessels longshoremen insisted on the scale de manded being paid, which was 85 cents and $1.23.

May 11. (Special.) Skinner 4c Fddv tonight launched the hull of the steamship of the West Atsek, the seventh Shipping Board direct contract ves sel, and the feat marked the floating of the ship Just 07 days from keel laying, or two days, less than the record established In the launching of the West Llanga. Mrs. Prescott Oakes, daughter of Captain J. S. Gibson, who came from retirement when named ss master of the new vessel, was the sponsor. The occasion was marked by the attendance of a number of society ' notables, all friends of the sponsor and her father. Judge M. G. Munly. of Portland, attend ing the Alaska freight rate hearing, which opened here this morning, declared that the Alaska packers were more Interested In se curing ship tonnage with which to bring their product to market than in the rate charged for same. He asserted that the packers would not object to the Increased rate asked by the transportation companies provided the assurance of a sufficient ship tonnage to transfer the pack was forthcom ing. Judge Munly declared that he object ed to the using of foreign vessels for the purpose, and believed the companies could furnish ships If rates were permitted making hetr operation profitable. Frank Waterhouse & Co. today completed deal whereby they take over the control of the Vulcan Manufacturing Company and steps were at once taken for the Increasing of the output and general character of the products of this concern. The price paid Is not announced, the transfer having been made through two local banks acting for the stockholders In the old company. II. J. Church will be retained general manager. COOS BAT. Or., May 11. (Special.) The steam schooner Frank D. Stout arrived last night at 7:30 from San Francisco to ship a lumber cargo at the Smith mill. With lumber from tne auenner Kawmiu. the steam schooner Hardy sailed for San Francisco this afternoon at 2:30. A small fishing boat whose name could not be made out from the Arago light house, was in trouble at the Coos Bay bar this evening at ft o'clock. ' It was believed her engine he.d failed, since the craft was at anchor. The sea was fairly smooth. Point Adams, the sopth point t the entrance to tha Columbia River, will soon greet its namesake, the sixth steel steamer the Albina Engine & Machine Works has assembled on the ways, for the vessel went into the water at 12:15 o clock yesterday, and she will be fin lithed In good time. The ship Is the first of the "Point" fleet that Mrs, Woodrow Wilson, wife of the Presi- aenc, nas named alter an Oregon prom optory. The band of the yard was on hand yesterday and greeted Mrs. Vllhelm Keinmann, of New York City, wife of the vice-president of A. O. Andersen & Co.'s American corporation, who was sponsor for the Point Adams, and the christening was most timely. The bottle was broken against the solid stem of the ship the instant the first tell-tale tremor indicated that she had begun her active caneer. A, O. Ander sen & Co. are heavy stockholders In the plant, and as Mrs. Reinmann Is vis iting here, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. Keinmann, her participation In the ceremony was arranged. A. Reinmann is manager of the Andersen interests and head of the Oregon corporation. Movement of Steel Delayed. With the debut of the Point Adams there are four ways empty at the yard, the result of delay In the move ment of steel recently, but now more is moving and considerable .quantities have reached the plant. As soon as the material for another keel is ready it will be assembled, and the construc tion of more hills hurried. The Point Adams is the last ship of six contracted for at this plant for Norwegian and Danish interests. The vessels were requisitioned by the Ship ping Board, and four more ordered last year, while five more contracts were closed at Washington about a week ago. The steamers ordered by the Amer ican Government will Jie slightly smaller carriers than the standard ves sels the Albina interests had laid down. The latter were of 3800 tons, dead weight, while the Government ships will be about 3500 tons, the differ ence being due to changes made In the plans to give the steamers greater speed. The Norwegian and Danish ships were intended for the coasting trade In .11 rope, and, though given plenty of power, speed then was not so essential as now. Better Speed Is Kxpected. SHIPYARD TO CHANGE HANDS Eddy Interests to Control Seattle Construction & Drydock Co. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. May 11. The Seattle Construc tion & Drydock Company, one of the largest shipbuilding plants on Puget Sound, is soon to pass Into the control of the Skinner & Eddy Corporation, to be operated by the latter company under lease. This step is being taken with the approval of General Manager Schwab, of the Fleet Corporation, It being his view that Skinner & Eddy, having made such penomenal success with their own yard, can Increase pro duction in the Seattle Construction & Drydock yards immediately adjoining. The Todd Interests, which own the latter yard, are to transfer their other yard at Tacoma, where they will con tinue work for the Navy. The final closing up of this deal has not been consummated, but official announce ment is expected to be made soon. Marine Notes.

The loca tion of the proposed yard was not dis closed by Mr. Hannevig, who said the ships to be constructed would fly the Norwegian flag, but would be used in American trade- Mr. Hannevig is personally known to Portland shipbuilders, having placed the first eight contracts for S800-ton steamers taken by the Northwest Steel Company. The vessels contracted for were then sold to the Cunard line, but after two' of them were delivered the others were taken by the Shipping Board. The Western Wave, the last of the original fleet, will be ready the last of the month. . Mr. Hannevig Is also the owner of two wooden auxiliary schooners the Columbia" Engineering Works is building at Linnton, one of which . is In the water, the Elvira iStolt. She was launched April 13.
