Portland river steamboats will start
on the fifth day of their strike th
morning with more boats running

of the river steamers, the Harvest

were tied up last night, according to
the reports of the operators, and on
of these, the L'ndine. is undergoln
alterations.
Captain L. O. Hosford. president o
the liarktns Transportation com
pany. operators of the L'ndine. had
considered taking out the L'ndine'
engine, and installing those of th
Vulcan, a speedy steamer formerly on
the Portland-Astoria run. which was
recently dismantled. lie has taken
advantage of the more or less en
forced delay to install the new
rhinery. The new engines are ex
pected to give the l'ndine more powe
and speed than she has possessed.

The Western Towing & Transpor

Its vessels, the Ocklahoma. Georgia

The steamer Joseph X. Teal of The
T'alles-Columbia line, was running
yesterday, but it was reported that
she had only two deckhands aboard.
The only one of the paper-carrying
boats tied up yesterday was the
Clara, operated by the Willamette
Navigation company. This vessel has
been unable to leave Oregon City since
the strike was called.
Disorder) Reported.
No attempt has been made to move
the steamer Harvest Queen, which is
operated by the railroad administra
tion. The Joseph Kellogg has been
unable to leave her dock since the
strike was declared.
Kxtensive picketing was carried on
by the strikers yesterday, both at
the docks of all the steamboat com
panics and around the employment
offices in the north end. No disorder
of any kind has been reported, though
considerable bitterness is expressed
by both sides. The strikers maintain
that living quarters on some of the
boats are unfit for human occupancy,
and the owners state that the condi
tion of the quarters is due to the un
clean habits of the men. and that
every facility is provided for keeping
the rooms in good order.
Operators are steadfast in their de
termination to yield to none of the
demands of the strikers, stating that
only a small profit is being made on
the boats; that since rates are in
flexible, any increase in wages
would make the operation of the ves
sels unprofitable.

un of 3639 Miles Made in Less
Than '19 Days; Much Bud
Weather Encountered,
The wooden steamer Ahala, a Ferris
type vessel built oy the Grant Smith
Porter shipbuilding company, which
received favoraoie comment for a
creditable run from Portland to West
Hartlepool, England, has continued
her success to the end of her maiden
voyage, according to a letter received
from her master. Captain G. J. Lin
nander, by the inspection department
of the shipping board here. Captain
Unnander's letter says:
4The Ahala loft West Hartlepool
September 1 and arrived here (New
port News) September 20. making the
run of 3639 miles in 18 days, -0 hours
and 27 minutes.
"This run would appear not to equal
her previous records, but when the
weather conditions in the north At
lantic and the light draft of the ship
are considered, it is very good. Much
bad weather, with stormy head winds
and heavy seas was encountered on
the trip, and the ship, being in ballast
and very light with her bows high
out of water, could not at times make
much progress. .She did very well,
however, for when the weather con
ditions were at all favorable, and she
had half a chance, she performed in
her usual dependable manner.

Flat Announcement Brought by
Shipping Committee Representa

The Nippon Tusen Kaisha com
pany, which is understood to be seek
ing to make 'changes in its Ameri
can terminal ports, is not contemplat
ing the. establishment of service to
Portland, according to the flat an
nouncement brought by a representa
tive of the shipping committee of the
Chamber of Commerce from the man
ager of the corporation at Seattle.
On several different occasions of
ficials of the company have come to
Portland to confer with shippers, held
conferences with the shipping com
mittee of the chamber, exchanged
courtesies of luncheons and then went
away leaving the impression mat
some time. possiDiy next montn or
next year, the company would send its
ships to Portland on regular runs.
Meanwhile, other steamship com
panies were considering establishing
lines and. influenced by the belief
that the largest of the Japanese com
panies was about to enter this port,
hesitated to decide upon a course of
action. So the shipping committee
desired to bring the matter to a posi
tive determination and sent a repre
sentative to Seattle with the object
of getting a definite statement. He
did. It was that the company is not
counting Portland in its plans.
Baron R. Kondo. president oi tne
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, is due to ar

he acted in an advisory capacity to

West Coast Association Reports
Heaviest Run of Xew Busi
' ness for Month.
Orders nla"e-i with 123 lumber mills
of western Oregon and western Wash
ington last week jumped more tnan
5.000,000 feet over the previous week,
with a errand total of 61.323.416 feet.
according to the report of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association. This
is the heaviest run of new business
reported for more than a month.
While the car situation in this dis
trict has not improved, lumber mills
are beginning to take on new busi
ness in the evident expectation mat
more, cars will be available, it is re
ported. A Jew mills continue their
policy of refusing orders pending
improvement of the car situation, and
with a normal supply of cars these
mills would be in the market and or
der files of the industry as a whole
would reflect a much heavier buying
movement.
The mills have been piling up stock
during the past week for future ship
ments. The total production at the
123 plants contributing to the weekly
report of the West Coast Lumber
men's association is given as 83,622,
192 feet, which is within 3.54 per cent
of normal. Shipments were only 69,-
588,816 feet, the industry acquiring a
surplus of 16.033,376 feet tntougn me
week's operation.
Despite the best efforts of the rail
road administration to furnish the in
dustiy with at least a part of the
cars it needs, tne situation sic
worse during September, the report
states. It is estimated liat the re
gion west of the Cascade mountains
in the two states lost 4000 cars dur
ing the month, that many more moved
out than moved in. The eastern and
middle western trade is clamoring for
lumber, the demand in these sections
continuing unabated.

Oregon Jewelers Declare Cost of
Collection Exceeds Income.
ALBANY. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.)
Repeal of the luxury tax was urged
by the Oregon Retail Jewelers' asso
ciation. The association adopted
resolution on this subject in Its recent
annual state convention at Pendleton
and the text of the resolution was
made public today by F. M. French
of this city, secretary-treasurer of
the association, who has compiled a
printed report of the recent conven
tion. The resolution asserts that the tax
is unjust, discriminatory and that its
uniform collection Is so difficult and
costly that the increase in revenue
from this source is not proportionate
to the increased work of the internal
revenue department because of this
act.

I'm a Fighting German Front Ken
tucky," Alleged to Have Been
Said at Start of Melee.
ALBANY. Or., Oft. 4. (Special.)
"I'm a fighting German from Ken
tucky and I'm proud of it," J. T. El
more s alleged to have remarked at
the beginning of an encounter in the
store at Dever last night which re
sulted in two. complaints being filed
in the local justice court. One com
plaint charges Elmore with assault
and battery on Charles Jones and the
other with a similar offense against
John Wills. Elmore was ill when
Sheriff Kendall went to arrest him
and the hearing of the cases has been
delayed. 1
Elmore resides at Dever, a station
on the Oregon Electric eight miles
north of Albany, and there has been
trouble betwen him and some of his
neighbors, particularly the family of
J. A. Jones. The situation there came
to a head a few weeks ago when El
more was placed under bonds to keep
the peace after a trial before Justice
of the Peace Olliver here in which it
was charged that Elmore had threat
ened to kill "the whole Jones family."
The trouble last night was said to
have started when John Wills, a
prominent farmer of that part of the
county, and Charles Jones, son of J. A.
Jones, standing in front of the Dever
store, presented to a Dever resident
a statement signed by several resi
dents of that neighborhood in which
the signers agreed not to give Elmore
further employment. Elmore is al
leged to have struck Jones and then
choked him until he called for help.
Wills, says he asked Elmore to desist
and Elmore then turned on him.
Wills and Jones and several other
Dever residents then came to Albany
and filed complaints asking for El
more's arrest. J
ONE CA
taken from on
community.
A news, item of October 2, says:
"One sightless eye already
disngures her pretty face.
The light is fast fading from
the other. Pretty 16-year-old
Mary Patterson is going
blind.
"It's awful, mister." said
Mary, "to know that some
day 3'ou are going to be so
that you can't see the flow
ers, or birds or Mt. Hood, or
any of the pretty things."
"Oh, I'd do anything. I'd
scrub, and I'd wash, and I'd
cook and I'd go without good
clothes and everything if I
could only see."
The loss of sight of this
young girl is said to have
been caused by a simple
"stye," which was no doubt
the result of EYE-STRAIN:
all of which might have been
prevented by wearing proper
glasses.
Take heed from this true
story a happening at your
very door. If you have any
indication of eye-strain, or
if you suspect one of vour
own children may be subject
to it, have the eyes attended
to at once.

Day Falls on Jewish Sabbatli at
Sundown Friday; Synagogues
Hold Special Services.
Yesterday was Yom Kippur, the
Jewish day of atonement, celebrated
in all synagogues, institutions and
homes of that faith in America. To
its sanctity as the most important of
fast days there was added a double
significance, for the calendar brought
Yom Kippur on the Jewish Sabbath
making it more than an ordinarily
sacred day.
Observation of the fast day began
at Sutidown Friday night and ended
at sundown last night. Services will
continue in all but Temple Beth Israel
today: Special singing, violin solos
and large choirs characterized the ob
servance in the synagogues yesterday.
Yom Kippur begins the new month
of Tishri, the Hebraic January. The
year of 5680, reckoning from the day
of Abraham on the Jewish calendar,
dawned on September 25, the feast day
of Rose Hashonah. The fortnight be
tween this date and Yom Kippur is
observed as a period of repentance,
during which the divine judge weighs
the earthly deeds against each ln
dividual before entering his final fate
in the book of judgment.
