Newspaper Page Text20 THE SUNDAY OREROXIAX, POI?TT,AXI. JUT.T 23. 1920 PUPPIES AGENCY HERE IS PROPOSED Portland Favored as Com mercial Outlet. DECISION SOON EXPECTED Manager Krom San Francisco Is Strongly Impressed With City's Strategic Trade Position. Establishment of a commercial agency of the government of the Philippines in Portland is contem plated, according to M. J. de la Rama, manager of such an agency recently established at San Francisco, who is just completing a tour of the north west, in which he has investigated trade and harbor conditions. The Philippine government, said Mr. de la Rama, 'experienced a great awakening only a year ago, and is now in the process of unprecedented commercial development. The legis lature recently voted a J6.000.000 bond Issue for port development at Manila, and this work is well under way. The principal improvements to be effected under this project are the construction of additional piers, the tunnelling of the Pasig river, dredg ing of Manila harbor to a depth of 40 feet and the construction of coal and oil depots. Action Not Definite. ' "No definite action has be,en taken," said Mr. de la Rama, "in regard to the establishment of additional commer cial agencies in the northwest, but a decision on this matter will probably be, rendered within a year. I" am strongly Impressed . with Portland's strategic position for handling - a large share of the trade with the Philippines, and can assure you that when the times comes this port will receive due consideration. "In the meantime, the agency at San Francisco will keep in touch with shippers, port authorities and cham bers of commerce in this section and will do all in its power to further the development of the island trade. The thriving business now done by Portland with the Philippines, the manufacture of hemp into cordage here, and the immense inland trade territory served by Portland are all strong arguments for the establish nient of a commercial agency in this city." Pornt Development Seen. It is only a ouestion of time, ac cording to the commercial representa tive, until the great hardwood for ests of the Philippines will be de veloped on a commercial scale, and Portland's position as a furniture manufacturing center will undoubted ly mean that a large amount of this hardwood will find a market here. At present, he said, the Philippine islands are being supplied with cereal products principally by Australia. The congestion of wheat in the Antipodes, with the proximity of Aus tralia to the Philippines, he said. makes prices of cereals delivered at Manila much lower than can be met in this country. With the completion of the readjustment now under way. however, he expects a large volume of wheat and flour to move from the Pacific northwest to the Philippines. hip Parthia, now at Portland, had been chartered to carry lumber to uba caused some wonder in local marine circles yesterday. No such vessel appears in official govern ment lists of vessels or in maritime eriodicals. The mystery was ended by the discovery that Parthia is the ew name selected for their vessel by the Norwegian owners of the mo torship Avance, which was launched in ApriL 1919, by the Columbia En 4 gineeringr works and has been encount ering one vicissitude after another ince that time. The Avance or Parthia has been chartered by A. F. Thane & Co. nd her cargo will be supplied by Dant & Russell of this city. The ves sel is now at the plant of the Pacific Marine Iron, works undergoing changes to her engine' room, prepara- ory to beipg transferred from Amer ican to Norwegian registry.' 0 Steamship Claims Settled.

Operation of the section of the new merchant- marine act providing preferential rail rates on exports sent to seaboard for movement in American bottoms will be suspended until January I, 1921, it waa announced today at the shipping board.

Portland will be the distributing; point for the entire northwest for the Texas Gulf Sulphur company if the experiment now in progress proves successful, according to Fred Juenger, representative of the Texas Gulf Sul phur company, who is here watching the discharging of the motorships Cethana and Culburra. The experi ment consists of bringing sulphur in bulk from the Gulf of Mexico to Port land by water instead of by rail as has been the practice heretofore. The motorship Culburra, bringing th second cargo of bulk sulphur to come to Portland from the gulf, ar rived at municipal terminal No. 4 at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. The Cethana, which has been working her sulphur cargo for everal days, is ex pected to finish Monday or Tuesday. "The cargo of the Cethana was pur chased by the Crown-Willamette Pa per company," Mr. Juenger said yes terday. " "The Texas Gulf Sulphur company sent the Culburra here to try out Portland as a distributing cen ter. Half her cargo was sold here while the vessel was on her way from the gulf. "If, after the unloading of the Cul burra is finished, we find that the operation has been economical, we will make a regular thing of bringing sulphur in here this way. The paper mills here alone will require one such cargo every two months." The sulphur hoisted from the hold of the Cethana in ballast tubs, is now being dumped on pier No. 2, of ter minal No. 4, and from this open pier is being loaded into box cars by im provised conveyors. For discharging the cargo of the Culburra, a large hopper with a movable spout is be ing erected on the pier. The sulphur will be dropped from ship's gear into this hopper and spouted automatically into cars, thus materially speeding car loading. The ideal method of handling such a cargo, according to dock authori ties, is from ship's gear into bunk ers, and if the movement of sulphur from the gulf to Portland by water is made a permanent service, it is expected that the bunkers now un der construction at pier No. 5 for handling phosphate rock and simi lar commodities will be utilized ex tensively for handling sulphur car goes. Pacific Coast Shipping .Notes. SEATTLE, Wash., July 24. (Special.) Because or a Heavy southeast gale which resulted In heavy seaa off Nome, the Alaska Steamship company's Bering sea liner Victoria, Captain Fred Warner, now in. the north, arrived in St. Michael first. according to advices received in Seattle to day. The vessel usually makes Nome her first port of call in the north. While bound from Seattle for Prince Ru pert, B. C, the Grand Trunk Pacific com pany liner Prince George struck a rock in Seymour narrows yesterday, according to advices received In Seattle today. The stem of the Prince George was damaged and the forepeak flooded. The vessel pro ceeded to Ocean Falls. B. C, and will go from that port to Prince Rupert for tern porary repairs. -J To load 5.200,000 feet of railroad ties for Great Britain, the new Green Star liner Ar?uf will arrivo on the sound Monday under the management of Strut hers & Dixon. - She will load part of the cargo at t-ie Nettleton mill in Seattle and then shift to Bcllingham to complete the load, one of the largest of railroad ties ever carried from the sound to the other side of the Atlantic. The Antinous. another new'Green Star liner, will also carry 5.20U.000 feet of railroad tics to Britain, taking her cargo from the Columbia river, Puget sound and British Calumbta. She will begin loading oil the Columbia next Tuesday, with Struthers & Dixon as managers. With a full cargo of freight, the steamer D' uel, operated by Struthers & Dixon, left for the orient Thursday night. Cap tain A. R. Krelghmar former first mate of the steamer Brave Coeur, waa in com mand. In a caravan of automobiles, officers and employes of steamship lines and water front mercantile establishments patronized by them, will leave pier 2 at 0 o'clock to morrow morning for Desmoines, where the fiYst picnic and get-together party of vari ous allied water-front interests will be held. spot schools of fish. Work done by an airplane for one cannery showed such excellent results that the plan may be adopted for all, with the cost divided among the canners. The plane would fly over the ocean and keeping in sight of the fishing fleet, would scout ahead and to the sides, and wnen sighting a school or albicore would turn and inform the skippers of the fleet through notes. The International Mercantile Marine will resume tho operation of steamers be'.ween here and the Atlantic coast. This an nouncement was made here today by a representative of the company. Before the war interrupted marine traffic this company operated the Kroonland and Fin land between he-e and New York. Four submarines arrived here this morn ing en route to Honolulu. They were of the R type. They will remain a few days for fuel and minor repairs before starting on the journey to Pearl Harbor. More steamers wilt touch here than ever before, according to statements of teamshlp men. They say that the ruling ot the 'government at the canal zone that vessels would be supplied with Just suf ficient fuel oil to carry them to the next port is the reason for this, as San Pedro i the next oil port to the canal. SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. (Special.) Local shipyards are in line for building steamers for Atlantic side owners. It wu announced today the Moore Shipbuilding company has been awarded a contract for the construction 01 a itt,j4U-ton steamer i for the Southern Pacific Atlantic Steam ship company, which will be the largest merchant marine craft turned out on the Pacific coast, it Is said. The Moores have just laid the keels for the first of two new steamers for the Matson Navigation company. They will be of 14. OOO tons. Several hundred travelers and some thing like 10,000 tons of general cargo -were taken out by the China Mail liner Nile and the Pacific Mail liner Ecuador, both of which steamed this afternoon for Asia ports via Honolulu. Among the Nile's passengers are 25 Ad ventists, who will attend the International Sunday school conference, to be held at Yokohama in October. Twelve Catholic priests also sailed on the Nile, their des tinations being missions in China. Captain Frank H. Ainsworth today cleared the steamer West Himrod for the orient via Seattle, where the freighter will finish loading. The West Himrod is one of the 11 cargo carriers operated by Struthers & Dixon.

The congressional committee now on the Pacific coast investigating the influx to this country of Japanese and Asiatics, now Is en route from San Francisco to Puget sound .and will arrive tomorrow on the Admiral Farragut. The Bering sea liner Victoria has ar rived at St. Michaels, where she will dis charge freight and passengers destined for points along the Yukon river, instead of going to Nome first. She received wireless orders to stop at St. Michaels on account of the coast in the vicinity of Nome being storm-swept. The jetty hav ing been carried away makes it hazardous to laud freight at that point. As soon as the storm subsides the Victoria will go to Nome to take on passengers coming south. Creditors of the Seattle North Pacific Shipbuilding company have taken steps to have a receiver appointed for the con cern. A writ has been issued by Judge Calvitf B. Hall of ' the King county su perior court, citing the company to ap pear July -S to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed. In their com plaint the creditors assert that the com pany is reducing its capital stock to avoid payment of claims. The ship W. T. Lewis probably will get to sea in a few days with nearly 2.000.000 of lumber for Capetown. After remaining here 10 ' 'days, she has secured a crew, with -he- exception of two men. It is expected that they will be sent from up sound tomorrow, when she will proceed to sea. Under charter to J. J. Moore & Co., at San Francisco, the big wooden steamer Snoqualmie is loading more than '2.000,000 feet of lumber at Mukllteo for delivery at Sydney.

(Spe cial.) The Aberdeen, a 65-foot, oil burning: salmon boat, built by the Western Boatbuilding; company at Tacoma for Peter AndrejaseviclV of South Aberdeen, left Wednesday night for Astoria on her maiden fishing trip. The vessel is the first large fishing craft built for an Aberdeen owner. The boat, which marks the entry of Aberdeen capital into a new. field, cost about $20,000. Its engines have a 75-90 graduated horse -power, and it is manned by a crew of eight men, and has hold capacity for between 25.000 and 30,000 salmon. Mr. Andrejasvich's venture into the fishing business marks the climax in an interesting story or personal achievement. He is now 45 years old and came to America from Dalmatia in 1901, with $20 in capital. After several small business ventures, he acquired a grocery store, which he still operates in South Aberdeen. The war over, Mr. Andrejaaevich, who had asserted his allegiance to the United States(to the peril of his business in a district with a heavy foreign-born population, decided that a grocery store could not provide a fund for educating his six children. He then began to study the fishing business, and the order for building the "Aberdeen" is the outcome of that investigation Steamer TrcIUsick Chartered.
