TRIO OF VESSELS
GO TO JUI PILE
Wooden Steamers Built in
Oregon During War.
RECORDS NOW CLOSED
Three Are Caponka, Fort Scott
and Issaquena, According to
Advices Received Here.
Three wooden steamers that fig
ured in the programme of Oregon
shipbuilding during the war period
have been "scrapped," according to
advices trom the Bhipping board to
George U. Piper, collector of cus
toms. The three are the Caponka
and Fort Scott, turned out by the
Grant Smith-Porter Ship company,
and the Issaquena, constructed by
the St. . Helens Shipbuilding com
pany. The Caponka and Issaquena were
turned over to the Chesapeake En
gineering & Construction company,
while the Port Scott was' delivered
to "Charles A. Jording of Baltimore,
all scores being first removed. The
Caponka was a Hough type and was
completed September 13, 1918, being
assigned to Sudden & Christenson
for operation. The Issaquena and
Port Scott were Ferris ships, the
first being delivered December 18,
1918, and assigned to Sudden &
Christenson, while the second was
delivered January 25, 1919, and as
signed to the Columbia Pacific
Shipping company.
Records Now Closed,
The information was forwarded
to Portland because the ships were
d
a.
ooumented here and their records
are now closed as far as the custom
house is concerned. 'While appreci
ating the policy of the navy to scrap
ships, men who figured in the
wooden shipbuilding programme had
not expected the same system to be
applied to the commercial fleet.
So far as is known here, the
wooden steamers are playing small
part in commerce under govefn
: -ent control today. Some are out of
commission in foreign waters and
others are at Atlantic coast harbors
tied up, while there were a limited
number sold and they ere mostly in
service, as far as is reported here.
Design Not Approved.
As was evidenced by the tale of
au uncompleted wooden hulls on the
Pacific coast, the shipping board is
for getting rid of certain floating
obligations and completed wooden
steamers have undoubtedly been
disposed of at euch figures that
they are classed as having been
scrapped.
Oregon l.-ers were not in favor
of the type of wooden steamships
turned out during the war, arguing
that large steam schooners woull
be. preferred for gener- purposes,
especially in relieving steel tonnage
to be used m the war zone, holding
as well that after the war the steam
schooner design would prove more
salable for lumber carriers.
TOW INTERESTS ARE MERGED
Knappton Company of Astoria

ASTORIA, Or., July 1. (Special.)
The KnaDDton Tuhnof
and the towage department of the!
Callendar Navigation company have

Carl D. Shoemaker, Oregon master
fish warden, arrived here last even
ing to direct the campaign which
is designed to prevent any of the
purse-seine craft from violating the
Oregon anti-purseseine law. Today
he chartered the Sanborn Cutting
launch Phoenix, which, with the
fisheries denartmpnt larv,
nor Olcott, will begin patroling the

Steamer to Ioad Wheat.
The Furness-Prince line steamer
Mongolian Prince, due July 15, is to
load a large parcel of wheat and
considerable lumber for Europe. She
will be followed August 15 by the
Siberian Prince and September 15
by the Eastern Prince. The latter
sailed last week for the orient and
wiil load for the far. side of the At
antic on her return. . The sinking of
the Welsh Prince at Altoona, in
May, nas not caused any material
setback in the service, and it is said
a monthly schedule will be main
tained in the future.
Ship Agency Established.
J. M. Van Duzer, for a lengthy
penoa connected with Mitsui & Co,
and later with the Williams Steam-
ship company agency here, has es
tablished a steamship and broker

Van Duzer of the Inman-Poulsen
Lumber company and former presi
dent of the chamber of commerce.

STEAMER SENATOR CROWDED
Coast Travel Declared to Be On
In Full Blast.
Every first-class accommodation
aboard the steamer Senator of the
Admiral line, was taken when the
vessel departed for California ports
soon after S o'clock yesterday after
noon, and it was said by William L.
Oxley of fch passenger department,
that lie was unable to take care of
all who applied for passage. Reser
vations have been made for south
bound sailings until well along in
August.
Captain Sohst of the Senator
brought a full passenger list to the
city Friday. Another crowd arrived
last night aboard the steamer Rose
City of the San Francisco & Port
land Steamship company. The Rose
City is to carry a big list away
Tuesday, reservations being heavy
despite the fact that it, is July 4.
July and August are usually the
heaviest months as to steamship
travel on the'eoast, and it is evenly
balanced, as a rule, in both direc
tions. Purser Johnson and Dick Martin,
steward of the Senator, said yester
day much of the travel from Port
land extends to Los Angeles and
San Diego, while the summer exodus
in the south is on so passengers
landed at San Pranctsco are re
placed by travelers headed for the
southern part of the state.
Dock to Be Enlarged.
Plans for an addition to Supple's
dock, at the foot of Belmont street,
that will increase the shed capacity
one-third, are being prepared and
construction is to start soon. The
present dock shed covers 100 by 200
feet and the addition is to be 100
feet square. For several months the
dock has been the delivery point for
California cement and it is said at
times space has been insufficient. It
is probable that in the future an ele
vator or ramp will be Installed for
handling freight to and from river
vessels.

NEUTRAL HALL LOCATED
HIRING OF DOCK WORKERS
FINALLY WORKED OOT.
Headquarters for Labor Chosen
and Will Be Established at No.
85 North Fifth Street. .
.; .- : )f
Portland's neutral hall for the em
ployment of longshoremen, union
and non-union, will be established
at No. 85 North Fifth etreet, between
Everett and Flanders. The location
has been approved both by the wa
terfront employers union and the
longshoremen's union.
The step is in keeping with de
tails agreed to "ien the dock strike
was adjusted more than a week ago.
Columbia hall, at Second and Oak
streets, opened by the employers the
latter part of April, while objction
able to the union men because of
its association -with the strike, also
was held to be less convenient for
employment purposes than a ground
floor hall, so when the (strike was
disposed of the, selection of another
hiring place was made a part pi the
settlement.
Steps will be taken at once for
the opening of an office, space be
ing partitioned from the main hall,
and the programme contemplates
the installation of shower baths and
other conveniences for the men
when they are-awaiting a call to
work. Lockers probably will be in-,
eluded in the fittings and in a gen
eral way it is intended to add com
forts. A committee of three will
be held responsible for the hall's af
fairs, a representative from the em
ploy era, one from the union and an
other from the. non-union group be
ing designated.
In all matters affecting working
conditions, scales and features of
longshore work they will be han
dled by the organisations, not by
the committee. Minor matters that
have come up relative to cargo work
have been taken care of under joint
consideration and the general opin
ion so far is that the new working
arrangement v'U prove satisfactory.
The longshoremen's union will va
cate its present headquarters at
Fifth and Gllsan streets..

KORANTON AN D SCRANTON TO
LOAD WHEAT HERE.
Engagement of Steamers Make
Total of 6ix Carriers for
Portland Grain Business. ,
BAN FRANCISCO, July 1. The
following ship charters were . re
ported here today:
Schooner William Taylor char
tered for lumber from British Co
lumbia to Callao. private terms;
schooner Annie M. Campbell, for
lumber, from North Pacific to Cal
lao, $1$ per 1000 feet; Japanese
steamer Azumasan Maru, for lumber,
from North Pacific to Australia, pri
vate terms; steamers . Santa Paula,
Olivia and Santa Malta, by Pacific
mail, on time charter for inter
coastal trade; British steamer Sheaf-
mead, Qr nitrate, from Chile to Ha
waiian islands, private terms; Brit'
ish steamer Koranton, for wheat,
from Portland to United Kingdom,
35 shillings per ton; British steamer
Scranton, for wheat, from Poiland
to the United Kingdom, on private
terms.
Engagement of the British steam
ers Koranton and Scranton to load
new-crop wheat here makes a total
of six carriers announced for that
business, others being the Norwe
gian bark Harald, British steamer
Baron Polworth, British steamer
Benavon, and the Japanese steamer
Tenpaisan Maru. Though the Kor
anton was taken at 35 shillings it
is said as high as 37s 6d has been
done for new-crop loading and par
cel space for Europe ia being quoted
at 40 shillings.
With the exception of the Scran-'
ton, the Northern Grain &- Ware
house company is admittedly the
charterer of the other ships. Five
Japanese steamers, for which Suzuki
& Co. are agents, have been fixed for
new crop business here, but the
charters are unannounced. It - is
estimated by some that the new crop
flee, already taken exceeds 15, but
exporters in most instances are not
committing themselves to tonnage
listed.
The Japanese steamer Azumasan
Maru, which is .owned by the Mit
suii interests, is expected to load
on the river. In connection with
the engagement of the schooner
Annie, M. Campbell to work a lum
ber cargo for Callao at a rate of
$16, one of the Portland-owned sail
ers was offered the same freight
last week and the business was de
clined. KAIKYU MARU HAS FE
BLAZE BREAKS OUT IN PORT
BUNKERS OF JAPANESE.
Coal Ordered Discharged to Make
Sure That Flames Do Not
Start Again.
Fire broke out in the port bunkers
of the Japanese steamer Kaikyu
Maru yesterday morning at ter
minal No. 4, she being alongside pier
No. 5 loading lumber for Japan.
Fully 300 tons of water were poured
into three hatches before the fire
was conquered. That is the second
time within the last week that fire
was fought aboard the ship, the
first being in- the starboard bunk
ers.
Fire Marshal Cooper, at terminal
No. 4, managed yesterday to handle
the trouble, and only part of his
crew of 12 was called on. The coal
was loaded aboard the vessel in Ja
pan, and, while the use of water has
served to cool it, officers of the ship
were advised to shift the fuel as a
further means of cooling, but evi
dently were of the opinion the first
fire would not be repeated. . '
The fire was inquired into last
night by insurance interests, and as
a further protection it was ordered
that the coal be discharged on a
barge to insure cooling. Should sim
ilar trouble be experienced at 'sea,
serious damage might result, and it
was felt that every precaution
should be taken here, even to the
extent of bunkering with different
coal "to eliminate, danger of over
heating. A. H. Bryant, marine surveyor and
associate of Captain William C. Mc
Naught of the San Francisco board
of marine underwriters, with Cap
tain Jack Speier, harbormaster,
went to the ship last night, and Mr.
Bryant surveyed the bunkers. It
was after the survey that the coal
was ordered discharged.
L NO. 1 BUSY
CONGESTION AND DREDGING
HAMPERS DISCHARGING.
New Unit to Be Ready Last of
July Affording More Space
for Freight Storage.
Because of congestion and the fact
the dredge Portland is clearing sedi
ment from the slip, terminal No. 1
was reported "full up" yesterday,
so the Harry L. Luckenbach, due
tonight from the Atlantic coast, will
be berthed at the North Bank dock.
The steamer Edgar Luckenbach
landed about 804 tons of freigbt at
the terminal and that caused space
in the shed to be filled, except suoh
as might have been utilized had the
dredge not occupied the slip. As
the dredging had been planned when
it appeared as if there would not be
a demand for .the slip berth, it was
deemed, unfortunate that any ves
sel was not accommodated, yet with
the freshet water falling the clear
ing of sediment was held essential
at this time. 1
With every prospect tbat the in
tercoastal movement will increase,
partly influenced by the cut in rates,
as well as a natural gain in the
trade, the .recent purchase of ad
joining property by- the commission
of public docks and construction
of a second unit which will be ready
for freight the latter part of the
month, is pointed - to -as being fully
warranted. The second unit Will af
ford almost as much space as the
deck shed on the first unit and pro
vide two extra berths for vessels.

IDAHO DEMOCRATS SPEAK
LEADERS NOT SEEKING GOV
ERNORSHIP NOMINATION.
M. Alexander and ex-Justice Mor
gan Not Candidates, but Would
Not Refuse if Pressed.
BOISE, Idaho, July 1. (Special.)
Neither M. Alexander, twice gov
ernor of Idaho, nor William M Mor
gan, former chief justice of this
state, is a candidate for the demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination. On
the other hana, neither of them
would reject the nomination if made
by the convention.
This was made clear today when
both of these prominent democrats
issued statements which are expect
ed to answer the many reports and
rumors connecting their names with
the governorship.
The statement of Mr. Alexander
follows:
"I am not a candidate for any
nomination, although scores of dem
ocrats from every section of the
state have urged me to announce
that I would be in the race for gov
ernor. I have stated repeatedly and
I now take the position that the time
has come when the office should
seek the man and that whoever is
nominated by the delegates should
be democrat enough to accept tho
nomination. I feel, therefore, that
after the delegates at the convention
have fully considered the matter, if
it is their wish that I should be the
democratic candidate for governor,
I could not decline."
Mr. Morgan authorized the fol
lowing statement:
"In response to reported requests
that I announce my cancfida.cy for
the nomination for governor on the
democratic ticket, I desire to say
that if the democrats of Idaho want
me for their candidate and the Hailey
convention adopts a platform favor
ing the abolition of the cabinet form
of government and return to the
government provided tor in the con
stitution, the strictest economy in
administrative affairs and the con
sequent reduction of taxes, also a
return to the primary election sys
tem and to a non-partisan judiciary,
I will accept the nomination."
