HERE FOR VESSELS
Tanker Richconcal Brings
25,000 Gallons.
ARRIVAL TO BE TONIGHT
Apprehension Diminishes When
Government Arranges for Per- '
manent Tankage.
Delivery of 25,000 barrels of fuel oil
at Portland, which is aboard the
tanker Richconcal, due at 8 o'clock
tonight, will assist the shipping
board vessels loading here, and there
Is every reason to expect that deliv
eries will be made regularly. The
Richconcal was the first tanker dis
patched from San Francisco last
week, on orders being placed by the
shipping board for a total of 240,000
barrels. She carried 60,000 barrels
from there, goin? first to Seattle and
slightly more than half her cargo was
pumped into tanks there In order to
insure vessels being given dispatch
Xor the next two weeks.
The bunkering of all shipping
board carriers is being attended to in
the Pacific .through the division of
supply and sales, of which C. O.
Yoakum is western director. Mr. Yoa
kum reached the city yesterday from
Kan Francisco, having spent the last
two weeks there and in Los Angeles.
Asked as to the prospects of adequate
fuel oil supplies in the Pacific. Mr.
Yoakum said every effort was being
made to keep bunkering stocks at a
normal heiffhth.
-In the distribution of the oil closed
for at San Francisco, it was decided
to dispatch two cargoes' to the orient,
one to Shanghai and the other to Ma
nila, so vessels bound for the far
east would be assured of sufficient oil
to carrv them back to the coast.
The Richconcal is to proceed to the
Linnton tanks of the Associated Oil
company, arrangements having been
made to store stocks for a time there.
The government is making extensive
plans for the future, and permanent
tank facilities will be arranged tor.
ADDreciatinft oil supplies are some
what limited at present, managing
agents of shipping board vessels are
co-operating with the division of sup
ply and sales in conserving deliveries,
and there is less apprehension as to
fuel requirements than was the case
a month ago.

Navigation Beyond Mouth of Salm
on" River Impossible.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Augr. 7. (Spe
cial.) Captain E. G. McFarlane. vet
eran pilot of gasoline craft on the
upper Snake river, announced today
that the river had reached such a low
Btage that navigation beyond the
mouth of the Salmon river, about SO
miles above Lewiaton, would be im
possible for about two months.
In recent years the extension ot
river transportation by large gaso
line freight and passenger boats up
the Snake river has increased greatly.
ThiB has opened up large stretches of
cattle and she-p-grazing country hith
erto inaccessible, and has made pos
sible during the past year a regular
mall service by boat to upper river
points.
The mall boat run by Captain W. B.
Brewink will continue its regular
tripB from this city to Rcgersburg on
the Grand Itonde river, about 30 miles
from here.
General cargo service to north China
ports is being inaugurated by ihe
steamer West Nivaria of the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping company, now
loading at municipal terminal No. 1.
In addition to a quantity of lumber
which vessels of this line have car
ried since the service was started sev
eral months ago, the West Nivaria is
taking 1500 tons of steel here.
On her way back from the orient on
her last inward voyage, the West Ni
varia stopped at Grays Harbor to pick
up 2,500,000 feet of lumber. This load
ing at another port than Portland is
also an innovation in the North China
line service.
The freight now being stowed in
this vessel will be discharged at
Tsingtao, Chinwangtao and Taku Bar.
The steel loaded here consists prin
cipally of wheels, trucks and stringers
for railroad cars and is an indication
of extensive railroad building in the
Manchurian territory by the Japanese
occupants.
Because of the necessity of making
minor repairs to her machinery, the
West Nivaria is not Toading today, but
will resume operations at the St.
Johns Lumber" company's mill this
morning, loading lumber in four of
her five hatches. She will depart on
her second outward voyage across the
Pacific during this week. She is com
manded by Captain John GrondahL
Henceforth, it is announced by the
Columbia-Pacific Shipping company.
all vessels of the North China line will
be available for general cargo service.
Heretofore they hive taken full car
goes of lumber. The next steamer of
the North China line to arrive here
will be the West Nome.itum, now n
her way back across, the Pacific and
due here next Sunday. She will be
followed by the West Keats early in
September. The steamer The Angeles,
which sailed yesterday for the United
Kingdom with a cargo of wheat, will
be returned to the North China serv
ice on the completion of her present
voyage.

" There was ery little wheat buying- during-
the lafer part of the week, owing to
the lack of export demand. Values were
$2.84 on bluestem, bart. dark hard winter
and dark northern - spring; $2.32 en hard
w-htte end soft white; $2.30 on club and
$2.28 on red Walla, all August delivery.
Even at these prices it is doubtful if
nr.uch wheat could be sold, aa exporters say
the prices are out of line, with New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans
exporters selling for less money.
The fact should not be overlooked by
farmers that on August 25 there will re an
Increase in freight .rates to the .Pacific
coast of 25 per cent and a 23 1-3 per cent
increase en shipments to the east. This
will mean an average of 4 to 5 cents -a
bushel to the coast and 1-5 cents a bushel
to the east.
According to pre-s dispatches farmers In
the middle west Hre selling their wheat at

WOOL GROWERS WILL GET KEFCKDS
Excess Profits Collected by Dealers will
Be Fald Back.
Refunds due wool growers because of
excess profits earned by dealers during the
war have been computed and the actual
distribution of amounts due will be begun
in the near future.
According to reports, there has been a
total ot over $1,000,000 collected in ex
cess . profits, which amount will be dis
tributed to growers by the bureau of mar
kets, department ot agriculture.
Delay In the making of refunds was
due to the fact that many large dealers
refused to remit their excess profits until
they were assured that the treasury de
partment would make allowance for such
profits as had teen Included in the income
tax reports of the various firms Interested
and the tax paid thereon. A ruling by the
commissioner of internal revenue that payr
ment of income tax on excess profits on
1918 wool would not be insisted on where
payment was made to the bureau of mar
kets In accordance with the regulations
governing the 1918 clip, has apparently re
moved all doubt In the minds ot dealers
as to how to proceed, with the result that
the actual distribution of money due grow
ers will soon be under way. ,
INTEREST IN ALASKA KING SALMON
Scarcity of Beds Tarns Buyers- Attention
to Other Fish.
A few packers of pink salmon are open
to business for 1920 packs at $1.50, but aa
a rule the important Interests will not
consider this price. Since the largja fac
tor which named $1.50 on pinks and $1.73
on chums withdrew both offerings, the
future market has been unsettled. A
straight $1.75 price on pinks is expected'
by the trade, when the large packers name
their quotations. Spot pinks are also ir
regular and are subject to -a wide range
In prices.
Chums are the weakest item on the sal
mon list as there is no marked interest
in them. Red Alas ka . Is extremely scares
and Is held with confidence. A short pack
Is anticipated which causes equal firmness

Polish Situation.
XEW YORK. Aug. T. The stock market
during the week was sensitive to European
news, domestic Industrial conditions and
movements of foreign exchange rates. Only
momentary benefit was derived from con

with a drop of 15 cents of sterling caused
liquidation, and gave bears opportunity to

Wheat broke annrpiy dux laxer on re
