16 THE SUNDAY OREGON'IAX. PORTLAND, JANUARY . 1910. MAY START AMERICAN SERVICE Russia's Sole Commercial At tache Visits Here. FIVE VESSELS IN FLEET J. Mcdzikliofskj. Invited to Port land by CrVic Organizations, Carries Away Port Data. Five vessels of the Russian volunteer fleet, which the American Government is operating under charter with the understanding that the tonnage is to be returned with the conclusion of the war. will be placed in service between Vladivostok and other ports, three of them to start an American service. It was in connection with the plan that C. J. Medzikhofsky, the sole com mercial attache remaining of old Rus sia's administration, visited Portland, and he has departed with considerable lata bearing on commercial features here and the opening for steamship con nections. Mr. Medzikhofsky says the Siberian government, the only one he thinks competent to speak for real Russia, will ask America for the five chips soon. Toget an idea of the best connection on this aide for such fleet, Mr: Medzik hofsky made his recent trip, and was invited to Portland by the Chamber of Commerce, the Dock Commission and the Port of Portland. He carried away with him exhaustive data on port con ditions and facilities, and these will be presented to the officials who finally pass upon the status of the trans Pacific line. Siberia's Future Viewed. Speaking in the most encouraging way of Siberia's future, the commer cial attache urged Portland business men to make trade connections with that country, to ally themselves with financial interests competent to under take the great work needed there and to render economic and industrial aid for a great people struggling to regain their feet as free, independent people of the earth. In the conferences here the visitor put before business men a number ot interesting idca,s. which will be given careful consideration. It is hoped that steamer connections may be made with Vladivostok and that out of it will come a steady trade, benefiting Siberia in her hour of ned and laying the foundation for a profitable com mercial relationship for America in the coming years. The Chamber will un dertake energetically to aid the Rus sian movement and expects Portland will be fully considered in the final determinations of the officials in power. "What have we given to the allied cause, entitling us to consideration in the final peace analysis?" said Mr. Medzikhofsky. Sacrifice I. Great. "Wc have given our all," continued the visitor with dramatic force. "Russia has given as I gave, two brothers.' two sisters. I am alone. Fam ily and property are gone. Yet while I was in British Columbia I found that the Russian flag had been taken from the allied group. It almost broke my heart to see it. That Russia stopped lighting was the cause offered. But Russia has given her all. "We did not get shells when the enemy came, and our men- died by armies. It .was under stood at the beginning that we had men, but not munitions, adequate arms or supplies. These latter we were to have supplied us. They came slowly. and we paid a terrible price for the de lay in human life. He speaks for what he styles the only Russian government, that having headquarters in Siberia. That, he holds, is the only power that can speak for the Russian people, because the Bol shevik he terms armed robbers who have seized a prostrate country. That the Bolshevik must surrender Its usur pation, he is confident. When that day arrives he feels certain that the thoughtful Russian people, expressing the sentiment of a majority of his countrymen, will And their first express-ion through the all-Russian govern ment now having headquarters in Si- heria IS CAPTAIN AXD CREW OF JANKT CARRtTTHERfi GO TO SEATTLE. One Sailor of Crc- Hectares Vesscl'is Bach I - Broken; C aptain Makes 'o Est i male of Damage. ABERDEEN', Wash., Jan. 23. (Spe cial.)

Captain c'arrney, master of the wrecked ship, who with the eight aur vivo, of the crew, reached here last night after a strenuous motor trip from the beach, had no estimate to make of the possible damage to the vessel. Some reports say the ship is probably damaged but little. She stranded bow on and lies high on the neacn on an even keel.

ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 23. Special.) The Emergency Ket steamer Kort Scott re turned at 2 o'clock today from a success ful 24-hour trial run at sea and proceeded to Portland. The steamship Callabassas, which sailed yesterday with a cargo of flour from the Astoria mill, came In at 5 o'clock this morning after a successful 12-hour trial run at sea. She dropped the Shipping Board officials who had made the run on her and then crossed out again ' at 7 o'clock on her way to New York for orders. The schooner H. K.

Spe cial. ) Germans are not desired to fill out ncies in the local shipping ranks. To- lay two sailors of Teutonic origin bookr-d o become members of the crew of the pilot boat Adventuress and immediately the lifmy alien Inspection officer on the water ront appeared on the scene and marched hem away for investigation. Two other sailors were t hen secured and the Adven- uress p rocker? ed to sea without delay. rhere is a misunderstanding about the cm- 'loyment of Germans on UM ships. No ffort is made to interfere with their em ployment about Puget Sound, but the rule still in eitect here. It is an II! wind that blows no good to somebody and this seems to be the case with the numerous misadventures to Ship- nine board vessels arriving at Honolulu re porting damage. The Belding. which sailed from Astoria January 7, arrived at the land nort today with boilers leaking vhlch will result in a big bill for repairs at Honolulu. The recent smio from the southeast wrncn has been in evidence off the coast ot Cali fornia. Oregon and Washington, has played havoc with time schedules or-all the coast rrs en route from Oregon and Washington ports for San Francisco. On an average the vhb.sc'.s have ue.cn neiayca aoout -la or .u hours. The K'.ajnath took 107 hours from Everctti the Juhan Poulsen IIS "hours from Port Gamble, the Admiral Dewey from Seattle 101 hours, the Chehaus steam-.! from Grays Harbor in 10," hours, the Charles Christens'!, jogged along from the same port in 117 hours, the hvea lis hours and the Dalsv J'utnam broke the record by steaming in five days. A number of smaller craft are still unreported. Ships are becoming so cheap that shipping men now expect to see the big steel car riers thrown upon the bargain counter and offered for sale at any old price from the proverbial old song to something less than the amount quoted her ore the war came along and pushed the price to the skies. This became known today when one of the big operators of San Francisco was offered the sale of two British steel freighters at the rate of $I0O a ton. The sale was not consummated oecause tne local nrm, wnicn operates to Australia And the Orient, ex pect the price to drop to the old pre-war level of f40 or ."" a ton within, another tx months period. BOIiSHKVIKl MENACE PjLAjXT Albina Engine & Machine AVorks Has Experience With Enemies. Tampering with equipment and ma chinery by unknown workmen at the yard of the Albina Engine & Machine Works, a condition William Cornfoot, president of the organization, says has been going on for some time, but which had become ' more pronounced recently, has increased the vigilance of department heads and others there, who are inclined to the view that workmen of Bolshevikt tendencies are responsible. George Savolainen, 19 years of age, was arrested Thursday for distributing Bolsheviki literature, and the impres sion is that other men employed there of late have been of much the same stamp. Oxygen has. been allowed to escape from tanks through valves be ing left open, cocks on oil tanks aboard the new eteamer Jacox were turned so as to permit the. contents to flow out and numerous minor acts committed that have proved bother some. Astoria Coinmisison Sells Bonds. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) The Astoria Water Commission today sold S50.000 of its 20-year 5 per cent bonds to E. F.

EQUIPMENT IS CONSIDERED Latr&t Coal-Handling Devices to Be Installed for Handling Fnel For Ship. Formation of the West Coast Coal & Dock Company and the leasing of the Oregon & California dock property, on the East Side, just south of the ap proach to the Harriman bridge, are initial steps toward the erection of last year at Seattle and which was sold knots on the voyage from the Golden Gate of 600-horsepow er, and it is said the average oil consumption was 18-i barrels freight and the total on a weight measurement basis was 3980 tons.

Kerr, of the law firm of.Carey & Kerr, secretary, and A. H. Kdlefsen. of the Edlefsen Fuel Company, general man ager. The latter returned yesterday from Seattle and other Puget Sound cities, where he investigated the operation of certain equipment used in bunkers, and says a conference to be held this week will decide the kind of gear to be adopted. "We aim to have available the best of the latest coal-handling machinery," said Mr. Edlefsen. "Of course we have been interested in bunkering steamers for some time, but believe the futur commerce of Portland justifies broad ening our facilities. The Oregon & California dock property proper has a J """" r'ver ui appruAimaieiy 400 feet and, if necessary, the company can have access to some of the pier frontac, as well, giving a total of 600 feet. There is unusually deep water In front of the dock and with the railroad connection as well, we feet that it is an Ideal location for the purpose." 1 mil the character of cranes and ma chinery to be installed is determined the present warehouse there will not be disturbed, though it is contemplated to provide a combined bunker and flat storage capacity of close to 10.000 tons.

OLD RIVEfiJISJECIILLEO W.M.l.Al i: MACZAY WELL KNOWN IX MARINE CHICLES. Intercut in Northwest Water Trans portation on River and Sound Active During Early Life. The death on January 23 of Wallace Mauzay removed from marine circles a man who was actively Identified with Northwest water transportation and who was in earlier days a stockholder in the famed White Collar Line, owner of the steamer Telephone, reputeed the fastest sternwheeler In the world.

STRIKE MAY PROVE COSTLY Seattle in Fuir Way to Lose Valuu- ble Shipping Board Contract-. According to Reports. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. C5. (Special.) That the shipyard strike will not be settled by mediatiou but will. In all probability run its course, with the re sult that Seattle may lose valuable shipping board contracts, was made evident today to all shipyard owners by Charles Plez, Director-General of the U. S. Emergency fleet corporation in a telegram advising the operators not to make any effort to resume op erations unless the men are willing to accept the labor adjustment board's decision as regards the Macy scale. "The Government is not so badly in need of ships that it will compromise an a question of principle." said Mr. Piez in conclusion. Labor I nionn Determined. When asked what would be the stand of the unions relative to the statement of Mr. Piez that "the fleet corporation stands by the Macy Board decision and will do nothing more." the following announcement wjus Issued by the strike committee: "Until we have given these statements careful consideration we will issue no official announcement. However, our organizations were given authority by this same Mr. Piez last month to ne gotiate separate agreements with ship yards if we desired to do so. We have made these proposals, which have been rejected by the shipbuilders. That is our stand In the matter." Prolonged strike Kxperted. Further arrangements for a pro longed strike were made by the strike committees representing every metal inion involved In the strike Saturday. Committees were selected to finance the strike, to give out publicity and to investigate regularly all plants now closed by the strike. Announcement was also made hy Btrike officials that the Pacific Ship Company's steamers. Admiral Watson and Governor, were unfair because re pair work was done on these vessels in Seattle By non-union men. This action means that no ship can be repaired or dry-docked in either Seattle. Tacoma or Aberdeen during the strike of the metal unions. "Conferences have been held and will beiheld between the striking shipyard employes and the shipyard officials." declared Henry M. White, conciliation commissioner, today. "It is hoped that a basis can be found on which the whole situation can be adjusted to the atisfaction. of each side.'

It was slated at union headquarters tonight. Pending the requested consideration of a general strike, union labor of Ta coma will proceed with the organiza tion of a co-operative retail store and market through which the Tacoma strikers and others may supply them selves with necessities. It will at the same time, in conjunction with Seattle, which already has a co-operative mar ket and store, and possibly in conjunc tion with Olympla. which is expected to organize a retail establishment, form a wholesaling corporation, to supply the retail concerns. The decision to form at once in Ta coma a co-operative nrorket and store was reached today by the Metal Trades' Council, after listening to an address by P. H. Magill. co-operative engineer and industrial organizer for the Puget Sound district and a representative of the Co-operative Wholesale Society of America, with headquarters at St. Paul. Minn.

THE LIVING EYE is not aftdead device or a scien tific instrument of precision. It is a pulsating, adaptable, living thing subject to changes of hu mor, health, tone, fatigue, vital ity, foods eaten and drugs taken. Years of study, much practi cal experience and keen judg ment must be used to determine the exact lens to prescribe to assure Perfect Fitting Glasses.
