Berlin May Be Total Loss.
Cargo Salvage in Doubt.
200 MEN LANDED SAFELY
Boat in Service for 4 0 Years Car
ried 2000 Tons or Supplies
for Season's Operations.
The American bark Berlin stranded
Friday at Ugaguk, or Egegek, as it is
known also, when bound from Port
land to Nushagak, Alaska, be'ng
within 40 miles of her destination.
The vessel, owned by the Alaska
Portland Packers' association of this
city, may become a total loss. No
lives were lost, about 200 cannery
hands being landed in safety, and last
advices to the owners were that
members of the crew, numbering 17,
were standing by.
The vessel was laden with cannery
stores and material for plant repairs,
as well, and it is questioned whether
much of the cargo can be salvaged.
The scene of the stranding was said
to be on an open mud beach, and it
was not known yesterday what
weather conditions prevailed. Cap
tain Wendt, master of the Berlin,
wirelessed brief information of the
wreck, using the ship's apparatus, so
that it is taken to Indicate her sticks
stood the jar of stranding. Other mes
sages have been received via the bark
Levi G. Burgess of the same fleet,
which reached Nushagak May 15.
Berlin In Fleet 15 Years.
The Burgess got away from the
river April 24, and the following day
the Berlin towed to sea. The former
got through Unimak pass May 12, in
company with the steamer Akutan.
owned by the same interests, and May
13 the Berlin reported passing
through. Until the arrival of the
Burgess at Unimak, the ships were
within 40 to 50 miles of each other,
according to "the daily reports, and it
was assumed here that the Berlin had
arrived about Thursday, so news of
the trouble was surprising.
For 15 years the Berlin has sailed
In the fleet of the Alaska-Portland
Packers' association service, making
a voyage annually to Nushagak,
taking north men and supplies and
returning in the fall with the can
nery crews and a part of the salmon
pack. The Burgess has gone north
every year except in 1921, when only
the Berlin was placed in commission.
The vessels are "down-east" wood
ships, and the Berlin just rounded out
40 years of service. She was built in
1882 at Phippsburg, Me., in the yard,
of Charles R. Minot. Originally she
was a ship, and at the time of being
acquired by the Alaska-Portland in
terests was fullrigged, but about ten
days ago part of her tophamper was
altered to change her into a bark.
She was of 1634 tons gross and 1416
tons net register, 225.5 feet long, 40
feet beam and 24.6 feet depth of hold.
2000 Tons of Careo Carried.
Cargo carried by the Berlin amounted
to about 2000 tons, and all was es
sential for the season's operation, and
arrangements are under way to pro
vide transportation for a duplicate
cargo. Several vessels have been of'
fered for the purpose, while space is
available on others bound north, so
it is not anticipated difficulty will be
had in transportation, though it is es
timated all of the shipments must be
on the ground in 40 days.
Frank M. Warren, president of the
association, said yesterday that, while
the monetary loss of the vessel and
cargo might be serious, the fact no
loss of life followed, and that there
was no danger for those remaining
aboard were cause for relief. Another
ship piled up on much the same place
years ago and became a total loss,
and the soft beach, couple with the
fact there was not a vessel at hand
to aid the Berlin, gives rise to the
probability that she will end her
career there.
Other cannery ships to leave the
Columbia this season include the St.
Nicholas and. Reuce, owned by the Co
lumbia River Packers association,
headquarters at Astoria. They are
products of east coast shipyards in
the days of the white-winged deep
watermen. Mrs. Elmer B. Colwell, secretary of
the board of motion picture censors
of Portland and a well-known club
woman, yesterday received a radio
message by way of Seattle from her
6cn Russell, who went north on the
Berlin. He said: "Safe and well."
his message came from St. Paul,
Alaska.
WARNING GIVEN FISHERMEN
Broken Spar Off Sand Island Said
to Endanger Nets.
Baker Bay buoy No. 4, a spar in
the channel to the westward of Sand
island, was broken off Friday when
the lighthouse tender Rose was at
tempting to raise it, and Robert War
rack, superitendent of the 17th light
house district, has warned fishermen
drifting in that vicinity, as' well as
navigators of small vessels, so they
may avoid danger of fouling the bro
ken end, which remained embedded
in the sand.
It is believed from the detailed re
port made that the buoy broke about
two feet from its base, and if any part
v projects above the bed of the chan
nel seining nets might be caught and
damaged. Portions of the wreck of
the old steamer Great Republic, on
tne soum siae oi oana island, are
being blown out by fishermen with
the use of powder to prevent damage
to nets.
EX-CHIEF OF UNION BURIED
Longshoremen Pay Tribute to Late
Philip Carroll.
Union longshoremen turned from
waterfront strike troubles yesterday
to pay their last tribute to Philip
Carroll, first president of the Port
land Longshoremen's union, which
was formed in 1901, whose death oc
currefl Thursday. The tuneral was
held in the morning.
It was said that 700 men, members
of the union, ex-members and men
who worked with the union up to the
time of the strike, were in the line
that marched from the Miller '&
Tracey funeral parlor to the Labor
temple, where they halted, while the
funeral continued on to Mount Cal
vary cemetery. The deceased was
well known along the waterfront and
his efforts in the early days of the
union gained him many friends among
the membership. '

being handled.
TWO VESSELS TO BE TIED UP
Steamers Vinita and Pawlet Due
With Cargo This Week.
Two more additions will be made
this week to the shipping board fleet
temporarily idle owing to the strike
situation. They will be the steamer
Vinita, due from the far east early in
copra as well as cocoanut oil; and j
me Bicuiuci rawici, iuukcu lur luc
latter part of the week with 400 tons
of general merchandise.
The shipping board ban against hir
ing non-union men and its insistance
that the system in use before the
strike be adhered to, through which
employment must be at the union
hall, has held the steamers West
Keats and Eastern Sailor idle at ter
minal No. 3, where they are lying
abreast, but it is doubted if the in
coming vessels will be accommodated
there because of limited berthing
space.

AS SHE! APPEARED WHILE LOADING HERB,
OF
RIVER SLATED TO REACH 16.9-
FOOT STAGE BY MONDAY. .
Willamette Falls at All Points Ex
cept Oregon City and Portland,
Bnt Increase Is Due.
Guided by a Weather Bureau fore
cast that the Willamette river will
attain a height of 16.9 feet above
zero Monday the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship company made
appreciable strides in clearing the
lower level of. Ainsworth dock yes
terday, as the main section is
reached at a stage of 16.6 feet, while
the addition on the north, usually
referred to as the Breakwater dock,
is vacated when the stream reaches
17.6 feet.
At west side steamboat docks a
close watch is kept on the official
forecasts " so If necessary quarters
can be shifted. The Harkins line
moved its office from lower Wash
ington-street dock to the upper dock
yesterday. Taylor-street dock re-
ported yesterday there was a safe
margin f tw0 nd a nalf feet wlth
the gauge showing close to 15 feet.
At Terminal No. 2, foot of East
Washington street, all is in readiness
to give over the lower level to the
freshet if necessary, though that has
clearance up to an 18-foot stage. At
the foot of Washington street on
the . west side, the elevation above
low water is 16 feet and the Weather
Bureau prediction is that the 16-foot
stage will be tained today.
In spite of expectations that cool
weather would not check the rise to
any extent, it was reported from
Lewiston yesterday morning that the
Snake did not show any gain in 24
hours. Wenatchee reported an in
crease of 1.6 feet and Umatilla 1.2
feet. At The Dalles the river is ris-
ng 2.8 feet in 24 hours. The Wil
lamette fell at all points except Ore
gon City, where it rose three-tenths
of a foot, and at Portland, where the
increase in 24 hours was 1.1 feet.
the stage yesterday morning being
14.4 feet.
The fact that the Snake was at a
temporary standstill yesterday did
not give rise to hopes that the con
dition would much change the gen
eral freshet status, as a normal in
crease in temperatures will send the
stream up again.

TACOMA. Wash., May 20. (Spe
cial.) Without relaxing their vigi
lance or taking too much for granted,
Tacoma. shippers gathered at the
meeting called by the traffic and
transportation bureau of the Tacoma
Commercial club, were encouraged to
feel that they have virtually won
their fight against the withdrawal of
terminal rates from the port of Ta
coma.
The order suspending the differen
tial rates against Tacoma, issued by
the United States shipping board to
the Atlantic intercoastal conference
yesterday, takes care of the immedi
ate problem, while in the hearing be
fore the shipping board, to come later.
Tacoma will get her due, according to
predictions from the east.
While the need for Tacoma shippers
pooling their cargoes to some line
without the conference is removed for
the time at least by the order, word
from Joseph A. Uabel, representing
Tacoma at New York, was that inde
pendent ships which will give this
port terminal rates are already in
sight. The Dollar line already has
two ships in the service, and the
Thayer line of Baltimore is just ar
ranging service to the northwest, Mr.
Gabel telegraphed.
The meeting of Tacoma shimjera
authorized the traffic and transpor
tation Dureau to organize a special
advisory and finance committee to
assist the managing board of the
bureau in preparing for the hearing
before the United States shipping
Doara.

THOSE who long for a home and prospective home builders, will find in this
little booklet many things of interest.
The following extract conveys only a faint idea of its character. It is pub
lished and circulated gratis in the interest of and for the information of all those
who are now or may in the future be interested in building.
"There are thousands of people who with limited means hesitate to ventare in
home building but who could with skillful management acquire their own homes
by the most economical method, namely, by building, if they would but decide
to do so. In the history of Portland there has not been a better time than
today to build a home. Oregon is the home of the best lumber in the world.
Lumber never will become cheaper. On the contrary, all lumber is destined
to gradually increase in price year after year as the forests are cut away and
forest products are used here and shipped in trainloads and shiploads to
other parts of the world."
This company is not concerned solely in furnishing the lumber, lath, shingles,
doors, mouldings, etc., but is first, last and always interested in the proper servic
ing of its customers ; that is, we want to help you from start to finish in every pos
sible way; we want to give you exactly what you should have for your purpose ex
actly when you want it, exactly at what you can afford to pay and make good on the
claims we make for all that is meant by
