THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN ' PORTLAND, JULY 30, 1922 17 ill E STEAMBOAT-: HULL IS DESIGNED Steel Trusses Eliminate : Hogchains and Posts. -; RIGIDITY IS INCREASED Planking and Decking Bolted to All-Sleel Frames; Prelimln-" ary AVork in Progress. Construction of a steamboat hull having all-steel frame, with three steel trusses running fore and aft below deck, tne latter feature elim inating the need for hog chains and posts, while pianKing and decking are to be bolted to the framed is the latest departure in building river steamers. Preliminary work for the first hull is under way at the Gibbs- street plant of the Columbia River Drydock, Engineer & Construction company. ' ' " The hull has been ordered by the Columbia Contract company and is intended for the sternwheel steamer Maria. Darfiel Kern, head of the company, and J. H. Price of the dry dock plant, have collaborated in the design of the hull and it is their conviction that the steel frame, which replaces virtually all timbers used in wooden hull construction, will give the vessel greater strength and improve her lines, while elim lnatlng deterioration of the irame as compared with wood. The trusses are to be placed so there will be one through the center of the hull. from stem to stern, and one on each eide, midway between the center truss and guard. Rigidity la Increased. Strength gained by the steel work, which is counted on to do away with poets and chains, not only is pointed to as decreasing gear and the ex pense of renewal, but in affording the vessel Increased rigidity. The Maria was originally turned out in 1887, being 115 feet long, 24 feet beam and 5 feet depth of hold. She Is used in towing. ' The Shaver Transportation com pany Is having a new hull designed and some consideration, was triven the use of steel In the frame, "but an wooden parts are expected to be .adopted. The Willamette Naviga tion company is having plans for a new null drawn as well. Steel Barges Handle Rock. The Columbia Contract company adopted steel barges for handling rocK in connection with jetty work several years ago. The barges were built at the plant of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works and are .raid to have been satisfactory, though pre viously only wooden barges were considered in moving, material for jetty enrockment. , Mr. Kern built the wooden tug oamson nere in loHs, she being yet in, service on the coast, and she was the first vessel to be assem bled with diagonal sheathing over the frames, the regular fore and aft planking being fastened outside of that. xtie same construction was adopted in building composite ftteaimera at tha. c,innl ft. - - -uujryiQ ot .Dtt.ll. II yard during the war, also at other plants. to be taken to the company's saw mill at San Diego next year. . The Holland-American line steamer Eemdyk arrived at 8:45 thi morning from Vancouver and after taking on 1 freight here for Europe went to Portland at 3 o clock this afternoon. The schooner K. V. Krause," which has been 'ing Idle here since her arrival in port on September 3 will shift tomorrow1 to Portland. Carrying a full cargo of lumber from Westport, the steam schooner Johan Poulsen will sail tonight for San Pedro. After taking on lumber at Westport the, steamer Ohioan will shift tonight to the port terminals, where she will load 14,000 cases of canned salmon ror New York and Boston. The steamers Knoxville City, Thos. P. Beal and Daisy Matthews are due from San Francisco and all go to Portland. Bringing a cargo of fuel oil, the tank steamer Richmond arrived at 5 o'clock this morning from California and went to Portland. The Japanese steamer Ayaba Maru arrived at 11:30 last night from Mororan and after being fumigated here left at 3:30 , last night for Rainier to load lumber, TACOMA, Wash., July 29. The move ment of vessels in and out of Tacoroa for the week past show a big freight movement from Tacoma docks and mills to. various ports in local and foreign markets. , As usual lumber, flour and copper were listed in the larger shipments with the orient going in for a large share of the business. In the coast and Inter coastal trade the freight movement was fairly active. The Robin Gray of the Isthmian line lead oft in the week in intercoastal business and took lumber and 'copper out from, here with the coaster Phyllis and Nika and San Diego taking lumber to California. The Hawaii Maru in the oriental trade with the President Madison of the Ad miral line, the Talthyblus of the Blue Funnel line and the Mandasan Maru took heavy freights out from here to Japan and China. The larger part of the cargoes of these vessels was made up of lumber and flour. In the European service the Eemdljk of the Holland-American line took cop per, box snooks and other freight- out, hile in the South American trade the Memnon took flour. . The Orleans and -Mobile City had general freight out for east coast ports. Under arrangements made by the American-Hawaiian line all less than carload shipments of freight by railroad consigned to the company piers at Brooklyn and on steamboat lines to this point will be handled free of transfer charge and absorbed by the steamship line. This company also has an any quantlty rate on freight in which freight charges are absorbed when freight is placed on their terminal dock. This ar rangement by which shipping charges are absorbed went into effect July 20, according to instructions sent out by C. J. Beck, general freight traffic man ager. After loading whale oil and some gen eral freight here the Mongolian Prince of the Prince line was due to sail late tonia-ht or ealv tomorrow for Europe. This vessel, with three other ships of the Prince line, has been operating to the orient but it ia understood the steamers will now be placed in the European trade via the Panama canal The Nippon Tusen Kaisha liner Ha kata Maru arrived at the Puget Sound Flour mill Friday night and began load ing flour there. The Hakata will sail Monday for, Japan. LIQUOR GRAFT. HIT BYSTORWl. SEIZED Canadian Vessel Libeled; Whisky Is Confiscated. Pilot, Towed to Port Angeles by Rescuer, Declares V. S.

Summer tourist travel to Hawaii is now at its height. For the next three months every Matson Navigation company steamer from San Fran cisco is booked to capacity and the same is true of steamers from here to the coast. ,The volume of tourist travel is indicated by the fact that of 230 passengers arriving one day this week on aMatsonia boat only about 25 were island people and the rest visitors. Though the Matson bookings have been big in past summers, this is the iirst summer they have been crowd ed to capacity. At the San Fran cisco office more than 100 bookings icit uvei irom every sailing.

British and Amer ican admiralty, law, Mr. Volstead's act, the statutes of the state of Washington in some such cases-i made and provided, and varying in terpretatlone of property rights; and of what constitutes property are all mixed up in a mess that calls for judicial and maybe extrajudicial disentanglement, through the unex pected and undesired arrival of the Canadian power boat Half Moon in the port of Port Angeles, just across the straits of Juan de Jfuca from Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia. Other matters possibly to be straightened out in the course of this disentanglement are the direc tion and velocity of the Wind on a certain day, the right of a ship in peril to choose her own port of salvage, the possibility of a lawful cargo being converted Into contra band by the act of providence and perhaps some considerations of in ternational comity. Pilot Pears Seizure. Ten days or so ago the Half Moon put forth from a British Columbia port with a cargo ostensibly con signed to a not far distant rocky Island in Canadian waters. She en countered a storm in the straits, a heavy sea and a high wind little short of a hurricane. At some point of her labored progress she was blown across the invisible line that marks the midway division of the straits and into American waters, A toy of the elements and in immi nent danger of upsetting and foun dering, distress signals were hoist ed. She was then off Port Angeles, and from the security of that harbor the stout steamer Saginaw set out to her relief. ' After all the usual and some un usual difficulties the Saginaw suc ceeded in passing a line to the Half Moon and started for home with her tow. Little distance had been made in that direction when the master of the Half Moon, by signs and noises, made it clear that he didn't wish to be towed that way in fact, that he wished to go in exactly the opposite Vessel and Cargo Libeled, Before Hartson and Lyle had a chance even to discuss this nice Question the matter was taken In a way out of their hands. The Puget Sound Timber & Mill company, own ing the steamer Saginaw, started action in the federal court and had the Half Moon and her cargo at tached on a libel for $5000 salvage, directibn across the straits. The master of the Saginaw couldn't agree to that. Port Angeles was his home port; it was right at hand; his tow was secure, unless her people should cut or. cast off the line, and an American port was easily the best place from which to negotiate terms of salvage. So the Half Moon was brought, willy nilly, safely to anchorage at Port Angeles. 140 Cases of Liquor Carried. As a Canadian vessel she was at once subject to boarding and search by American customs officers. . Her cargo not a very large one. for she is not a -very large launch was found to consist almost entirely of 140 cases of high-grade whisky of approved Scottish brands. The customs inspectors promptly reported to their own boss. Col lector Hartson of the Washington district, and incidentally let their discoveries be known to Roy C. Lyle, district prohibition director. Captain R. D. Hunt, master of the Half Moon, set up the claim that he had not willingly come within the jurisdiction of either of these Amer ican officials, wherefore the acci dental presence of his vessel and her cargo m an American harbor was really none of their business. All that he asked, now that the violence of the storm had abated, was to be let go. However, Captain Hunt and the five members of the Half Moon's crew were taken before the United States commissioner at - Port An geles for examination as to whether they had violated either the customs or the prohibition law. They were released for lack of evidence that they had unlawfully entered an American port or that they had landed or even Intended to land their cargo on American soil. But the libel in behalf of . the Saginaw a civil proceeding, held their boat and cargo fast. . Liquor Taken to Seattle. For the Jjetter protection of the perishable' portion of the attached property the 1680 Scottish quarts were brought ashore and lodged in the custody of the sheriff at Port Angeles. This liquor, known to have come from a foreign port, was now on American soil, where it had no business to be. Its landing did not conform with tne "provisions either of the Volstead act or the state pro hibitory law. could liquor be tol erated in dry territory under libel for salvage, a civil proceeding, when its presence contravened the crim inal statutes of nation and state? Prohibition, Director Lyle thought not. Just to be on the safe side he had the whole consignment brought to Seattle on the revenue cutter Areata, and 'it' Is now housed in the government contraband warehouse with the fruits of other seizures. Further to . establish the govern ment as a party to the case, Di rector Lyle, after conference with the district attorney, libeled the Half Moon and the cargo that had been taken away from her. Unlawful Intent Denied. Captain Hunt ot the Half Moon insists that this is all wrong. He cites whatever may be the British or Canadian equivalent for the American constitutional inhibition against depriving a person of prop erty without due process of 'law The story of his interrupted voyage is substantiated by the members o his crew. The Half Moon wasn destined for an American port; none of her company had the slightest thought or wish to call this side the international boundary line. They were going about their lawful busi ness when struck by the storm, and even after the Saginaw had laid her line on board their helpless craft they had protested against being towed Into certain trouble.
