-"Anchored Cardiff Roadstead. 11
o'clock A. M All well," was a cable
gram that yesteraay announced the ar
rival abroad July 10 of the 4500-ton
steamer Awensaaw, one of the com
posite ships built by the Supple-Ballin
Shipbuilding; corporation, commanding
which is Captain Aannevik. Icelander
by birth, and who has shown on his
first American command his ability to
deal with recreant members of a crew.
Frank O'Connor. Portland agent for
the Pacific Steamship company, which
sent the Awensdaw away loaded with
a combination cargo of ties ana lum
ber. the tics being fnf British railroads
and the lumber for commercial pur
poses, is awaiting- details from Captain
Aannevik of an alleged mutiny after
the ship put to sea from Colon only
meager details of which have filtered
through.
It la reported that on entering the
Panama canal, and after passing Bal
boa. some of the crew signed at Port
land voiced objections to . continuing
across the Atlantic, preferring to abide
in the land of their allegiance. Their
objections were evidently so insistently
made that Captain Aannevik acceded to
them and replaced the dissatisfied ones
with other men. On getting ready ta
rail, the old hands desired to return,
which was refused. When a short dis
tance to sea some of the original crew
left aboard are said to have precipi
tated trouble because their former
mates were not finally taken, all of
which Captain Aannevik Is credited
with having adjusted after his own
diplomatic fashion.
The skipper was the man selected by
interests at Nome to command the Ice
rutter Kit. which was brought there
with the hope of keeping a channel
open during the winter, but, in the
words of Mr. O'Connor, "she did not
break enough ice to make gin rickies
for a party of three."
Captain Aannevik afterward com
manded the Corwin. which was con
verted into a whaler.
Later he concluded to cast his lot
with the land of the union and the
Awendaw fell to him. The vessel will
remain in the Atlantic trade, so far as
's known, having been sold by the chip
ring board, and it is reported all others
of- the fleet, completed and under way
at the Supple-Ballin yard, have been
disposed of.

Government Interprets Grain to In
clude Loose Article Tnder
Longshoremen's Agreement.
Behind the strike -of the Astoria
Longshoreman's Union for an Increase
in the scale to $1 an hour straight
time, is said to be an effort to compel
the establishment of a new wage for
handling bulk wheat which is not speci
fied in the existing agreement, wlferein
"flour, wheat and cereals" are men
tioned to .be loaded for SO. cents an
hour. .
The breach was precipitated with the
the arrival in the river of the steamer
West Islay, which "was sent by the ship-pftig-
board from Seattle to "clean up"
bulk whe.at remaining at Astoria, of
which there is about hatf a cargo. The
longshoremen demanded $1 an hour for
trimming the cargo, but the stand of the
United States grain corporation is that
wheat is wheat, whether In sacks or
loose.
The bulk wheat will go Into the hold
In spouts from the grain elevator. On
the way from Seattle a fore and aft
bulkhead was built In the lower hold
of the vessel, to prevent shifting of the
bulk cargo at sea, and with the wheat
sent aboard in short order by he mod
ern gear, all that remains is for it to
be trimmed. It is the - first cargo
of the kind in a number of years and
win establish a precedent.
With the Portland grainhandlers on
strike for an increase in wages from
75 to SO cents an hour, their work be
ing to truck wheat on docks, the Grain
corporation is having no little trouble
getting rid of wheat steamers in the
river. The employers are firm in their
contention that the increase cannot be
met, since on Fuget sound, a competi
tive port. 75 cents is the scale, though
they have evinced a willingness to
abide by a decision of the Oregon state
board of 'conciliation, which the men
refused to consider. Further meetings
may be held this week.

Thoush Compromise Offered.
NEWT YORK. July 12. A prolonged
Conference today between representa
tives of the In i ted States shipping
board and officials of the International
Samen and Marine Firemen, Oilers and
Watertenders union, failed to bring:
about a settlement of the strike which
has interfered with shipping along the
north Atlantic and Mexican gulf coasts.
L nlon leaders claim the ranks
the strikers are being- augmented and
that many of the 50,000 men enployed
by the snipping board bare walked out,
although the ultimatum to the federal
board docs not expire until Tuesday.
Si today's conference the questions
at iue between the men and the
hipping board were not disrued. the
federal officials contenting themseTVea
wttn putt in sr forward the concessions
which have been offered by the Amer
ican Steamship association. The pri
vate owner concede a 10 per cent m-
rreae in wages, provided the unions
agree on "reasonable" working condi
tion!, and an eicht-hour day In port
with preferential employment for
American citizen, but refuse to make
any distinction beiwcen union and non
union workers.
Kaymond B. Stevens, vice-chairman
of the yhipping board, stated after the
conference that the board would con
fer tomorrow in Washington and would
make known Monday its answer to the
union demands.
Twenty-five boats are known to be
held at their docks in this port, because
of the strike.
POSITIONS AT teEA OPENED
Qnartcrmatcrs Are Needed Aboard
Lihtlioue Tenders.
Toung men having a leaning toward the
sea hae opportunity to serve as quar
termasters aboard lighthouse tenders,
Recently two vacancies have occurred
in the fleet of the 17th lighthouse dis
trict, while there are opportunities for
second mate and assistant engineers,
the latter being wanted on one tender
as well as one of the lightvessels.
Superintendent Warrack. in charge of
the district, says he regards the work
of quartermasters on lighthouse ten
ders as not only free from obnoxious
iluties when away from the wheel, but
as offering most desirable experience
for those wishing to go to sea. Con-
ditions are such today that many men
are select in g berths on vessels bound
for other lands, coasting in tenders not
being viewed as so attractive. On the
other hand some prefer the tenders,
as they do little running at night or
dinarily so are In port often.

Upon the departure of the first liner,
the West Munham. in May. there was
not sufficient opportunity to establish
connections on the other side for Ore
gon cargo, but the response since has
been most convincing and another six
months will undoubtedly mark the re
turn to the old route of added ship
ments that once helped Portland's pres
tige in the far east. The Pacific Steam
ship company has gradually organized
its agencies In the east and the orient
so that excellent results are being at
tained In both directions and space is
now being contracted for aa far. ahead
as the December sailing.
With the West Munham assured a
full cargo in August, the company is
urging the shipping board to assign a
steamer for September, for which
month considerable business is being
offered, and there seems little question
but that a capacity load will be assem
bled. The West Munham is one of the 8800
ton ships built by the Columbia River
Shipbuilding corporation, being a well
deck ship, while the Coaxet, which the
G. M. Standifer Construction corpora
tion built, is a sheltered-deck type and
larger, and that design Is rated more
suitable for the oriental run than the
well-deck model. Shipping board ves
sels assigned for the Puget sound-
oriental service are of 9500 ons and
larger, and it is said that if all of the
fleet from the Columbia river were of
the sheltered-deck type, also of the size
of the Coaxet, more space could be
given regularly to lumber, for 'which
there is an active demand in China now.

they will be loaded with cargo. for the
Atlantic, and. with the crews that will

undergo a 24-hour trial at sea. If afl
is found shipshape the vessels will
proceed.
Though recognizing that "orders are
orders." there are men among the
builders' and in the service of the emer
gency fleet corporation who do not
unanimously indorse the new order. At
first the new steamers were subjected
only to river trials, then loaded and
sent away. Then instructions came for
abundant ballast to be given the ships.
This was accepted to mean 700 to 800
tons. The 24 hours at sea also were
ordered. Some of the vessels battled
with all kinds of weather off the coast
during the winter, emerging with
credit to their builders and the district.
In aJL -9 . steamers Trere so tested,
and it is declared that not one of them
developed serious deficiencies. Captain
Cochran was selected as trial trip
master and under him were assembled
deck and engine-room officers and a
full crew, so in every trial almost the
same men handled the ship, each hav
ing his station. As in the case of the

THE WEATHER.
Keeping Young
To keep one's faculties bright and
alert is to remain young. To main
tain a buoyant spirit is another foe
to age but no one can be at his
best with poor or painful vision.
Most of life's pleasures are de
rived through the sense of vision-
most of our interests center in the
eyes.
DIMNESS OF VISION means a
clouding over of the brightness of
life age creeps on more quickly
then. Enthusiasm, optimism and
all the youthful qualities that ac
complish things fly before the chill
ing influence of indistinct vision.
EYES UNSPOILT means that
the latter half of life is like a sec
ond and richer youth. The faculties,
matured by experience, are brought
to perfection, and the individual
achieves the utmost' that is in him.
KEEP YOUR SIGHT UN
SPOILT wear my Perfect Fitting
Glasses at the first indication of
eye distress or headache, and of all
things possible you will have done
;he one most certain to contribute
o your happiness and success.

"I was troubled with scales and
dandruff for over a year. My scalp
was sore and red and the
dandruff scaled off and could

caused me to scratch and irri
tate my scalp, and I lost my
rest at night because of the
irritation. My hair fell out.
"Afterusing several remedies with
out success, I. used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. Afterusing four cakes
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes
