The work that the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping: company, a Portland-owned
and Portland-managed concern is do
ing to develop the commerce of the
Port of Portland is graphically illus
. trated by the fact that six steamships.
'aggregating 4 3,700 deadweight tons
V'and carrying cargo valued roughly at
$2,500,000 into and out of the port
. " were operated in the local harbor last
week by this company.
. Two of the six steamships are reg
:.. ular liners in the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping company's own North China
line. These are the West Keats and
"West Nivaria, new steel shipping
board steamers built at Los Angeles,
which last week loaded their first
cargoes. Both vessels are taking full
cargoes of lumber this trip, and will
be available for general cargo load
ing on the next outward voyage. The
North China line serves the oriental
' a' ports of Kobe and Yokohama, Japan;
Shanghai, Tsingtau and Taku Bar,
China, and Dairen, Manchuria.
The steamer Kest Katan, which fin-
- .shed loading and left the harbor yes
..terday, is a liner in the European
Pacific line, managed by Williams,
Dimond & Co. of San Francisco, and
I re presented here by the Columbia
Pacific company. She loaded 5500
tons of cargo here, consisting of lum
ber, flour and wheat. The Weet
Katan ahso brought a considerable
, .quantity of general freight from New
York, thus inaugurating a new branch
-.-of the Kuropean-Pacif ic line service,
that of west-bound freight from Bos
ton and New York. The ships operat-
v-4ng in this service are routed on
jtriangular run from Portland and
other Pacific coast ports to ports of
continental Europe and the United
Kingdom, thence to Boston and New
York, and then on around again to
the Pacific. The West Katan cleared
from Portland for Seattle, where she
will load a small quantity of freight
for Liverpool before going to San
Pedro to complete her cargo.
The remaining three of the e.ix
steamers operated here last week by
the local company are classed under
the head of incidental business. One
was the Chinese steamer Hwah Wu,
with an inward cargo of vegetable
oil and general oriental merchandise,
and an outward cargo of lumber.
, . Another Incidental vessel was the
'hipping board steel steamer West
Jester, under the management of
Frank Waterhouse & Co. of Seattle
which is loading a full cargo of lum
ber for Japan and China under the di
rection of the Columbia-Pacific.
- The steamer Corone, which com
pletes the list, is a wooden shipping
board steamer built here by the Penin
tula Shipbuilding company, which has
.been fixed to take a cargo of lumber
from Puget Sound to Cuba.

WARRENTON, Or.. May 15. (Spe

development that has taken place in
Clatsop county during the past 40
years, it would only he necessary to
have heard the many tales of the
pioneers, who fame to Warrenton this
week to see the steamer Solano lay
along- side the Warrenton Lumber
company's dock in the Skipanon.
The speakers who were scheduled
to outline the growth of Warrenton
and explain why the city as a finit
and as a part of the port of Astoria
had now became one of the seaports
of the world, made an excellent im
pression, but aged pioneers quietly
told of their experiences before even
railroad existed between Astoria
and Seaside or Astoria and Portland
when these men would be caught
open boats out on the Columbia river
while the storms blew and the tide
went out and then returned, furnish
ing enough water for their boats to
reach the Skipanon landing.

deck passenger boats and were taken
out to the Columbia river at low
tide with a channel 20 feet deep and
about 100 feet wide beneath them,
with a substantial bulkhead on each
side of the channel and 650 fee
apart. The loading of the vessel was

Work of Loading Steel Voyager
Proceeds Without Protest.
To the satisfaction of all concerne
a crew of union longshoremen ap

ditions, it was uncertain until yes
terday morning whether the union
men would load this vessel. ,
The Steel Voyager is the second
