But Its Bid Wh BeJecUd e- collar Uethod Zb Togna Amour the Wood Sealers for JCeaaurlng Oordwood Count 75 Sticks to tha Cord; After being In session for almott two hours yesterday afternoon the Port of Portland commission decided to pur chase a power plant of its own for the operation of the drydock. A dlsiiat' h .lyajutoxwarnwd fo.Q. B. Thomas, a mem ber of tha commission, now tn tha East, instructing mm to close a deal for ma chinery of which he had sent a brief description. . The plant, which comprises a dynamo, angina and other apparatus. It was esti- mated, will cost laid down here in the .neighborhood of 111,880. By the time It is installed and ready lor operation tha total cost will foot well up to the 820.000 mark. The machinery la new - throughout Mr. Thomas reporting that a was unable to get second-hand goods, which he was instructed to do If any ' such could be found that would answer the purpose satisfactorily. J No one seemed to know what the ex pense of running the plant will amount to per month. It was argued that the cost of operation would depend largely I ,upon the amount of business done. The ! opinion was aayancea tnat probably no , more than two men, an engineer and ; fireman, would be required to- run it. If oil should be used as a fuel Instead of wood it was suggested that the force might be reduced to one man, the engi neer. For days at s time the plant will .probibly stand iuie, and during all Such -, slack periods, Jt was .explained the cost of keeping up the enterprise will rep- resent nothing more than the salary paid the engineer and his assistant, if he has one. Samuel 8. Ileed of the Portland den crol Electric company was in attendance and submitted another bid to furnish the necesHary power for the operatto of the plant. He offered to do the work for 8MIX per annum. Mr. Reed pointed out the advantages which his proposl tlon possessed, and gave plausible rea sons why he believed It should be no eepted. It was thoroughly discussed by tha commission, which finally decided that it would be a mora ecenomlca plan to procure a plant of its own. The offer of tha Portland General Electric company contained one feature which more than any other appeared to be nb jectionable to the commission. The Port of Portland was asked to make an Investment in the enterprise to thn amount of 810.000 or 812,000 in addi tlon to paying the regular $4,400. Peculiar Bula. A communication was read from i wood dealer at Stella offering to supply the dredge Columbia with 100 cords of wood at $2.40 per cord, and the cicrk was Instructed to close a deal with him, In this connection an interesting tiiscus sion ensued relative to the manner in which wood sold to the Port of Portland has been measured recently. Commls sloner Driscoll intimated that the wood dealers are a little Inclined to give short measure, and that they have adopted a rule of measurement that cannot be found in any arithmetic, algebra or other book of mathematics ever published. He says they count 76 sticks of wood and call them a cord, without even pll ing the timbers up in the customary rick style. They are counted as thev are being thrown on' the dredge, and it Is said that the fellow who does the work often counts more rapidly thnn he handles the wood. In other words he can count three by the time he throws off one stick. A communication was received from MaJ. Langfltt calling attention to a meeting to be held at Astoria for the purpose o Inquiring Into the harbor line at that place, and also to one rela tive to the reconstruction of the Morri son street bridge.

Candianl. Italian consul at Portland, has received specific instruc tions from Signor Morlnl, tha Italian minister of marine, looking toward minimizing desertions by sailors Tiere. In substance, the Italian minister of marine declares: "I shall not allow any. foreign seaman to embark on an Italian vessel at any port, unless he can show a permit from lis own government or some " consular representative for this purpose and that he Is an able seamon." Consul Candianl says that too fre quently a man will ship- oh contract under a foreign flag then desert when he reaches Portland. Ha will then ap ply to Consul Candianl to ba allowed to embark on an Italian vessel. "He must give me proof that ha has not broken his contract with a former employer," said the consul. "He must show me that be is a"practtcal seaman and that ba is allowed by his own gov ernment to enter tha Italian marina ser vice or any other he may elect I will not ship crews that may desert at tha next port ana tnen set up tha claim that they are not Italian sailors, but French, English, Swedish or American seamen. "Deserters can thus easily be caught! and no "crimping" scheme will avail. I can impose imprisonment for two months upon any deserter from the Italian merchant marine service, I shall Insist in every case that tha existing treaty between Italy and tha United States shall be literally obeyed.
