jniiri f4 li FADE SIX. ASTORIA, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, MM. ' jj i! OIL BURNERS ARE POPULAR Steamship Elder to Be Fitted Up When Columbia Returns to Her Regular Run. ALLIANCE TO FOLLOW SUIT Indications Ar That Thar Will Ba Haavy Damand For Oil in th - North Othar Maritimt Not. It will not be long before all the ateamers plying between California ports and the north will be provided with oil burning apparatus, and the amount of wood and coal hereafter to be consumed will be small. The an nouncement has been made that the Elder will be laid up for alteration in this respect as soon as the Colum bia comes out of the ship yards, which will necessitate keeping the Oregon on the San Francisco-Astoria run for several months to come. The steamer Alliance, now in the river, la also to be provided with oil burners.. The steamer Aberdeen has sailed from San Francisco for Astoria and la due to reach port today. She will take the run of the Alliance dur ing that vessel's stay in the ship yards. Her equipment will be of a new kind, embodying the latest im provements, and will make It possible for the machinery to be repaired at sea In case of an accident. - There are many different sorts of oil burners and the company oper ating the Alliance has selected what' It considers the very best on the mar- j ket Even the river steamers are to be oonverted Into oil burners, the latest vessel to be laid up for alteration be ing the Glenola, owned by the Ore gon Round Lumber Company, and ply ing on the upper river. She will here after run between Linton and Oregon City In the oil carrying trade, supply ing the mills along the way with fuel Representatives of e Oregon Round Lumber Company have recently visited California to determine whether or not a larger supply of crude oil can be se cured for use on the Columbia river and Its tributaries, and . the assurance has been conveyed that the supply of ,4oiI will be fully up to any demand which may hereafter be made for It THE LUMBER CARRIERS. Three Cargoes Sent Out Yesterday From Columbia For Bay City. Lnmber exports yesterday reached 1.350,000 feet three cargoes having been diapatched. All of the vessels taking lumber are bound for San Francisco. The schooner Virginia, a fine four masted vessel, arrlvd down the river i yesieraay rrom Portland, with a big cargo of 700,000 feet of lumber for the Bay City. She is itill In the harbor but will probably get to sea today. The steamer Francis H. Leggett ar rived down and cleared for San Fran cisco, taking a deckload of 300.000 feet of lumber, Brides her, lumber cargo she has 1585 tons of grain, also for San Francisco. The schooner Jo sepa Russ, which departed yesterday for the California tnetropolis, took 350,000 feet of lumber. She was load ed at the Hume mill. The schooner Annie E. Smale was towed up the river yesterday to take on a lumber cargo. She goes to Port land. MORE ORIENTAL 8TEAMER8. Greatly Improved Service Has Been Arranged For. President Mohler, of the O. R. & N. Co., who has returned from the east, announces that arrangements have been made for a greatly improved ori ental service. The increased sen-ice goes into effect next month, and the Hchedtile shows a China Commercial steamer sailing every 25 days, and a Portland & Asiatic liner every 30 days. The first of the new liners to arrive will be the Clavering, which is due next month, ar.d will follow the Indrasamha which Is due the latter part of Jan uary. The Clavering will be followed at Intervals of 25 days by the Lothian Chlng M o and Atliol. The four steam ers of the China Commercial Company will ail come direct to Portland from Salinas Cruz, which ' is their first port to jail after leaving the orient. As their business with the Mexican port will require the greater part of their inward space, they will bring no Inward cargo for Portland for the pres ent at least. In securing this big addition to their fleet, the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company has not only provided Port land with a service adequate to their present demands, out has aettled th rulnou. rat war which has been mak nj such Inroads on the profits of the tian-Paclfte bulnss and Infused such an element of uncertainty Into th fiour trade. The differential created by the ra war In favor of Sn Francisco was very bad for the Oregon and Washington miller, and the amalga mation of the disturbing line and the fortland line will again place all Pa cific to-tnt porta on even terms In the t t".uU . -y The new schedule will not only give both Urge and sm.ill chipper plenty of sr-ao. but .he service will be of suf ficient ftevjuevy to -nable shippers to take orders for shipment within a giv en month and not fall to deliver on ac i omit of there oelng no steamer. This has been one of the most frequent omplulnts made In regard to the "In dies." which are scheduled to sail so ncir the end of the month that If they are a day ir two oehlnd, flour sales f-r alilment on that particular month are canceled. WAR POLICIES ON CARGOES. San Franoiaeo Underwriter Baliev Situation i Critical. ' 'Cities rom London Insurance un denviitera received by M. C. Har rison, of San Frnnct8co,!ndlcate a more optimixtlu vliw of the war situation In th far east, with possibly th excep tion -hat no price Is quoted on car go consigned to Russian ports. The absent e of this quotation la considered to be due o the fact that any price given would be prohibitive. The rate given on cargoes to Japanese ports Is slightly !ower ihan the quotations given last week. The goods compris ing the cargoes must.however, be neu tral In their character. Policies war ranting that there will be no declara tion of war between the two countries during the month of January were quoted at 55 per cent. The German underwriters at Ham burg give quotations at about double toe figures quoted by the London In surance offices. It Is thought that the German insurance underwriters base their figures on the information con cerning the Impending war from Rus sian sources, while the English under writers take their Information from the Japanese. Shippers are becoming worried over the situation and are, covering them selves from probable loss by taking out war policies on all shipments to oriental ports. The beef which was recently pur chased in this country by the Russian onvornmnnt was fully covered by a war risk policy at the time of pur chase, the rate being less than one-half per cent. Mr. Harrison states that If a policy was asked for at the present time on the cargo It would not be Is sued. The beef Is to be shipped from San Francisco during the latter part of this month, and in case war between Russia and Japan will have been de clared In the meantime the cargo will be liable to seizure by the Japanese. The beef will likely be carried by a Pa cific Mail or Occidental and Orelntal liner and wlli be transshipped at Hong kong. Marina Notes. The Vosburg departed yesterday for Tillamook. There were few movements along the waterfront yesterday, and the day generally was cold and disagreeable. A southwest wind prevailed at the Heads and the early report showed Us velocity to be 38 miles. The gasoline schooner Delia is to be Inspected today by Captains Edwards and Fuler. She will leave out as soon as possible for southern Oregon with a general cargo. WEALTH WAS DENIED HER. Young Woman Will Fight For Fortune In Courts. Chicago, Jan. 6.
