SWIFTSGOUT'S TRIP
Irish Troubles Have Disas
trous Effect on Commerce.
RIOTERS BURN ELEVATORS
Vessel I.les at Wharf 28 Days
While 5000 Tons of Grain Are
Unloaded by Laborers.
Of timely Interest In connection
with the latest developments in the
age-old controversy as to the free
dom of Ireland Is the account of. con
ditions in the Irish capital brought
back by the crew of the Portland
built steamer Swlftacout, which re
cently carried a cargo of wheat from
Portland to Dublin, and of stronger
appeal as a narrative Is the account
of the three months' voyage.
A significant episode of the Swift
scout's experience, which shows the
disastrous effect of Irish . politics
upon commerce, was the time spent In
port at Dublin. Because the grain
elevator, built for the speedy and
economical discharging of grain
cargoes, had been destroyed by the
rioters, the vessel spent 28 days dis
charging D000 tons of grain by hand
at Dublin, after unloading the same
amount at Rotterdam by means of
modern machinery in five days.
Tanker's First Cargo la tirain.
The steamer Swlftscout. built at
the plant of the Northwest Bridge 4
Iron company, will be remembered as
the vessel which was named In honor
of the Boy Scouts of America. Her
luunchlng was made the occasion for
a mighty tribute to the part played
In war and peace by the Boy Scouts.
The Swlftscout is a tanker and was
built to carry oil. not grain, but her
owners and the shipping board, which
exercised considerable control over
the vessel, deemed It advisable to
take a grain cargo to Europe and
thus derive some revenue for the
voyage around to the Atlantic coast.
So, with 10,000 tons of wheat stowed
in her various olltlght compartments,
she set out for Europe June 17. Cap
tain William H Stofen commanded
the vessel: G. B. Spankie of Seaview,
Wash., was her first officer; Frank
R. Glllard of Portland, her second of
ficer, and Carl Rochet her third. The
crew was composed mostly of Port
landers and entirely of men signed
on here.
Illnck (inlli Forebode Trouble.
The first serious event of the voy
age was the death at sea of James L
Stewart, a watcrtender, from Belllng
ham, while the vessel was enroute to
the Panama canal. While Captain
Stofen was reading the solemn Ma
sonic burial service and consigning
the body to the sea, two black gulls
perched upon the ship's rail. Recog
nizing the raven-hned birds as an evil
omen handed down In the traditions
of the sea from the ancient days of
sail, several old salts among the
crew drove them away, but they re
turned and rode throughout the day
and night perched high upon the fore
mast. While the Swltfscout was at the
canal the company which owned her
passed Into the hands of a receiver
and the vessel was forced to lie at
Panama for 16 days while legal af
fairs were being straightened out be
fore she was allowed to proceed. One
man is said to have made himself
so sick by worrying about the black
birds that he had to be put ashore
at Tamplco, Mexico, when the vessel
reached that port, which was the next
top after leaving the canal.
Spirits of rew Depressed.
The long stay at the canal and an
other delay of 16 days at Tamplco were
during the hottest part of the year
In these naturally hot regions, and
the spirit of the ship's company is
said to have suffered accordingly.
While the vessel lay at anchor, for
a reason none was able to learn, out
aide the three-mile limit off Tamplco.
little work was to be done aboard
sblp and the crew put in its time fish
ing for sharks. Every morning at
dawn the land breeze came out front
Mexico, laden with petroleum and
mosquitoes.
Finally, to the great Joy of all
hands, the Swlftscout heaved In her
anchor and steamed for Rotterdam,
where ahe discharged half her cargo
in short order, and then proceeded to
Dublin. The longest stop of all was
pent In this port, while the sacks of
wheat were hoisted one at a time
through the manholes which served
as hatches.
"Portland prides herself on the
modern cargo handling facilities of
her docks." said Second Mate Qlllard,
"but Sinn Fein seems to have a dif
ferent Idea. Machinery makes less
employment for labor, so the Sinn
Felners blew up the grain elevator at
Dublin. Another elevator is under
construction, and the Sinn Felners
have promised to blow It up too when
It Is finished.
Martial I. hit Prevails.
"The customhouse at Dublin was
destmyed by fire shortly before we
arrived and every day In passing to
and from the ship we passed by the
ruined building, around which armed
guards patrolled upon a scaffoiding-
Mr. Gillard said that no violence
occurred while the Swlftscout was at
Dublin, but that martial law pre
vailed and the town was swarming
with armed guards.
When the last of the wheat had
been laboriously hoisted from he-i
tanks, the Swlftscout crossed the At
lantic In ballast to New York, arid
her crew was paid off there, return
ing to Portland by rail. The vessel Is
now operating In the Atlantic oil
trade, for which she was built.
The Swlftllght, a sister vessel and
the last of the Swlftsure Oil Trans
port company's fleet to be built here,
is still tied up at the St. Johns moor
ing grounds In the custody of the
emergency fleet corporation and has
never loaded a cargo.
s l ISLAND SURVEY NEXT
Actual Dredging Is Expected to Be
I'mler Way January 15.
A complete survey of Swan island,
purchased last Thursday by the Port
of Portland for channel Improvement
purposes, will be started immediately
by the engineering department of the
port, and actual dredging is expected
to be under way by January 15. The
survey will Include a series of borings

CAPTAIN BAUGHMAN IS DEAD
Prominent Part Played in Develop
ment or RtVer Navigation.
The death of Captain Ephriam W.
Baughman at Moscow, Idaho, Decem
ber 5, marked the passing of one who
played a prominent part In the devel-
I opmcnt of steamboat navigation on
I the Willamette and Columbia rivers.
rie commanded the first steamboat
built in Oregon and received the first
master's license Issued on the Pacific
coast. He died at the age of 86.
Captin Baughman came to Oregon
by ox-team In 1850 and began hlii
steamboaUng career the following
year as fireman of the steamer Lot
Whltcomb. At this time J. C. Alns
worth was captain of the boat and Ja
cob Kamm was engineer. Captain
Baughman succeeded to the com
mand of the Lot Whltcomb when only
21 years, after an Inspector had eomo
all the way from New Orleans to con
duct the examination and award him
a license.
Captain Baughman created history
when he took the steamer Colonel
Wright to Lewiston. for this was the
first steamboat to navigate the upper
Columbia. In 1875 he took the Wil
lamette Chief to the foot of the falls
to prove that steamboats could pass
through If a canal and locks were
constructed. Captain Baughman's last
command was the steamer Spokane,
and when he retired from the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company's
service in 1905 the crew and other of
ficers of the boat presented him with
a gold Masonic keystone.
Surviving Captain Baughman are a
son. Captain H. C. Baughman of Lew
iston, and a daughter, Mrs. H. A.
Thatcher of Moscow, Idaho. His wife,
who was Miss Lizzie Thomas, eldest
daughter of the late Jane Qoodhue
and John T. Thomas, and to whom
he was married In 1864 by Bishop
Scott, first Episcopal blshopof Ore
gon, aiea in iuj. xneir youngest son,
Ralph L. Baughman. recognized as
one of the best swift water pilots on
the river, died In 1917.
CYANIDE TO BE USED HERE
Modern Method of Fumigating Ves
sels Is Promised.
Portland is moon to nave the cyanide
method of fnmxfgxtion frriHegrT at the
antiquated sulphur method now in
use, according to information re
ceived in Washington by W. D. B.
Dodson. general manager of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, and by
htm transmitted in a telegram yes
terday to Frank Ira White, manager
of the foreign trade department af
the chamber. Data showing Port
land's need for the cyanide method
were gathered by the foreign trade
department and forwarded to Mr.
Dodson for presentation to the head
of the public health service in Wash
ington. The cyanide process, now In use In
many major ports, has a number of
advantages over the old method of
burning sulphur In Iron pots, chief of
which are Its more deadly effect on
vermin and other undesirable animal
life and the fact that it does not
harm certain kinds of cargo to which
sulphur fumes are destructive.

JAPAN TAKES T
OF WHEAT
Merchants' Exchange Pre
pares Northwest Data.
FLOUR ALSO IS INCLUDED
Movement Is Held Significant in
Comparison to Commerce
of One Year Ago.
Japan has taken practically a third
of the wheat and flour exported
from the northwest this season, ac
cording to figures complied by the
Merchants' Exchange. Wheat and
flour shipments both foreign and do
mestic for the season to December 1.
from Puget Bound and the Columbia
river are given as 35,928,917 bushels,
and of this total the orient has taken
3,119.893 bushels of wheat and 402,
623 barrels of flour from the Colum
bia river and 2. 857. 385 bushels of
wheat and 650.566 barrels of flour
from Puget sound a total, reduced
to terms of wheat, 9 10,716,579
bushels. '
Big Trade Significant.
This flow 01 cereals to the Far
East assumes significance by com
parison with the movement of a year
ago, for during the cereal year of
1920-21 to December 1, not a bushel
of wheat went from the northwest
to the orient. Some flour was ex
ported from this section to the orient
last year, but the season's totals to
December 1 showed only 33,490 bar
rels from the Columbia river last
year as against 402.622 barrels this
year, and only 53.411 barrels from
the sotind las' year aa compared
with 650.556 this year.
Practically all of the wheat and
flour, and most of the lumber shipped
from the northwest to the orient is
for the account of the Japanese.
Heads of the largest Japanese com
mercial houses in this city explain
the movement by the statement that
much of the wheat, lumber and other
commodities purchased by Japan is
for re-export to other oriental coun
tries, and that Japan is supplying
these materials to China. Manchuria.
Siberia, India and other Asiatic coun
tries as well as using large stocks
for her own consumption.
