The United States say the subsidy advocate-, nnrnnrlatad 138.000.000 for the Support of the navy for the present year, and if a smarter of this were spent to encourage the merchant marina America would be better off. They cite Austria, with its mull coast Una and still smaller com merce, but which pays an annual bouojty of $1.44 per ton to all iron Tand steel steamships flying the Austrian flag; - , tnn tn all trnn and steal sailing ships; $1.2a per ton to wood and Iron ailing ships; the foregoing amounts to be Increased 10 per cent if the ships are built In Austrian yards, and 24 per cent .jjin.ki nt tha raw mttft.

The Portland shippers will give, their reasons why American bottoms are to be n referred and the advantages that the upbuilding of an American marine would In their opinions result to Portland's In- . terests. The hearing, as whole, is an ' dertaken br the commission in an at tempt to solve the queatlon of the besU way to place America in position oi supremacy as a nation of shippers. In January of this year tt steamships Toasaed through tha Sues canaL Of ' these, 17 were British, 42 German, ltd ' French. 14 Dutoh. 11 Russian, I Aus trian. T Italian. Japanese, 6 Turkish, 4 Norwegian, I Spanish. 1 Egyptian. 1 Danish and 1 American.- The problem has become so serious that congress at Its last session appointed the marine commlaalon nd set aalde fund of 120, . 000 to cover the expenses of a tour of the Important ports of the United States to Investigate actual conditions and gather data upon which to base future legislation. This is the mission of the congressional party to Portland. George Taylor, a member of the firm of Taylor. Young & Co- ship brokers and commission agents, and chairman chamber of commerce, said today; ''There is no set program of speeches a vmiwm . Tha haarlna- la deala-ned AS a free-for-all' and thoae Interested in American shipping and tha upbuilding of our merchant marine are expected to form bearing upon that subject. I pre sume that such men as our prominent shippers. Importers, and perhaps other business men will be- In attendance at the hearing. I believe the general sen timent among Portland men who are familiar with existing conditions Is sratnst a direct subsidy for American ships, unless It should be In some form of compensation for services rendered. The main reason why direct subsidy Is .objectionable Is the difficulty . of practically applying It so that the sub sidiary benefits will ' actually go to American ships. There are so many wsys by'whlch the benefits of s subsidy paia py mis country could be reared by ships actually owned ' elsewhere. France might be paying auhald4o.-Eench ships thst go eruls im about and doing business while the vessels are really owned by British anitaL ' And so It goes. 1 am not prepared to speak positively but I do notbellvs that England, pays CASTOR I A Tor Infanta and Children. Tin Klr,d Yea Kara Always Bought i Bear tha dgoAtttrt of FOR subsidy to any ship that does not have n established route and carrying trade. AS to the claim that other coun tries can build ships cheaper than it can be done in America, I do not see any good reason to aupport this theory. Iron and . steel are produced in this country aa cheap or even cheaper than abroad, and large quantities of railroad Iron and other steel are soia ana shipped to other countries in competi tion with the world. Why should not American materials and workmen com pete with equal success In tbs building of shms here In this country? Ameri can ships are Just as good aa any ethers, and can, I think, be built nearly aa cheaply." -r . : Parsoaael of Commission. ' Senator Jacob H. Oalllngar. official head of the marine commission, 4s an interesting personage, his career fur clehlng sn example of what can be schleved In America by' a Dutch, boy born on a farm In Ontario, Canada, tn 1887, one of twelve children, by an American mother. He received a com mon' school snd academic- education in early life and bedims a printer. Later he studied medicine . and surgery nd wss graduated with honors as a pny- aiclan in 1868. Hs followed tnis pro fession In Concord, N. H.. snd snterea politics, receiving several elections to his state legislature, ana nu w gress by the Republican, party. He waa surgeon-general of New Hamp shire with the rank of brigadier-general, was three times chairman of the Republican state committee, and was chairman of his state delegation to ine Republican national convention In 1888, and eoonded the nomination of Benja min Harrlaon. He is at preaent a mem ber of the Republican national commit tee. Upon an attempt by his party to nomlnata him third time for congress he. declined, and In 1891 he was elected to the United States senate, to which body he has been re-elected by the New Hamnshlre Republicans for three full terms. , His present term extends Into 10. , Congressman X.

He became a lawyer, editor, and represented his state In the legislature, snd was first elected to congress In 1897 to fill an unexpired term, slnos which time he has been twice re-elected. ". Commission's Furpose. The purpose of the marine commis sion Is the Investigation of two main questions America's merchant marine and American Bailors. It is hoped to bring about the gradual upbuilding of ths American merchantman fleet and to Increase the number of American sea men employed. Many and diverse con ditions have been brought out by the facta nresented to ths commission on Its tour of ths sea coast cities. Where they have met and conferred witn snip pers, ship builders, snd representatives of the seamen's unlone. Talking to a Seattle newspaper representative of the work accomplished by the commission thus far. Senator GaUlnger saia: "In ths first plsce, ss o conditions, We have found that American Bhlps carry a rery small and a constantly diminishing percentage of American ex ports anil Import a. Two men who have been around the world three times told ua that In all these trips they saw only two vessels flying American flags abroad, ons was warship snd ths other a. private yacht. No mercnant vessels flvlnsr the stars and stripes were en countered. Out of 282 vessels going through ths Sues canal during a ststed period only one csrrled our colors. These facts Indicate ths condition of American shipping. -.. . Cause of Decline. ""When It comes to causes of these things, ws deal with more complex questions. It seems to cost more to build 'American ships. Expense of op eration is greater than that of foreign ships. American ships must nave for eign officers and they must get higher ray. And the food given the men Is regulated by set of congress -and la as a consequence of higher cost and better quality thsn thst aboard foreign ves eels. Those are soma of the reasons for our merchant marine's depletion. One of the evidences of the extent of this deterioration Is ths fact that no keel for an American bottom for foreign trade has been laid In two -years. James J. Hill's big steamers were ths last eek JKemedlaa. - "As to remedies, that Is something on which ws have formed no opinions ss yet. We wsnt to hear -everything we can. Wewant ths newspapers and the people to help ua all they can. We believe that what we can accomplish will be largely In the way of a begin ning only." Eventually- ths -people -ot the country and ths commercial Inter ests will wake up" to" ths importance of ths thing and will accomplish . those thlnga which laws cannot do. That It is Important la well shown by ths ons fact that we pey out 1100,000.000 to foreign countries for .carrying our exports and Imports yearly. "Now, aa to what ths lsws can do. Boms propose ship subsidy according to ths lines of ths Hanna-Frys bill. That does not, seem to meet with popular fa vor. It has not thus far. IU draw backs snd redeeming features have been I ii, f ' . . . -CThen there Is ths plsn .of discrim inative duties, i but that would usees- sltats ths abrogation of soma thirty-odd commercial treaties' now" In existence. Of course, this could be done, but such duties would be very complicated. "8ms advocate freedom of interfer ence Ur law letting men . buy their ships abroad or anywhere, and so per mitting the matter to adjust itself, as they say, along natural Unea. But leav ing aalde the question of patriotism. It seems hardly business to let all this money continue to go into foreign pockets. w a Foetal inbysntlosi Fla. "Another remedy for present eondl-ttons-has been discussed, Tals-le-the postal subvention plan. It amounts to a sort of subsidy, roughly speaking. The government practices it In soms cases. For Instance, ths Ward steamship line receives such psy for carrying ths malls so that it 1b able to maintain nineteen steamers on Its rutW-though, but four receive this pay. Such poatal aubven tlon is used on Southsrn railroads, where mall is carried to insure fsster service thsn could be otherwise secured. By edoptlng this plan on a large scale, ws could send steamships to countries where our flag Is rsrely If ever seen fly ing from, tha ' masthead, and w could build up trade with those countries. "As I ssy, our purposs is to start things. That Is all we can do. Sup posing our recommendations were to be carried out and ths onaequent laws to work as ws would Hippo they might, that would, be a beginning, . a stimula tion of ths Industry hst Is too fast dying out Then, we hope ths comi tnerclal Internets of ths. country and the country's people will d ths rest". rowxa FtAwr p to uidt. - ' aaasaawawsaaan According to surveys and .estimates made recently on the Big uanay do twaan Alder creek and Bull Run ample power for the operation of an electric line between Portland and Salem can bs secured by harnessing ths Big Sandy river, .and this will be dons ny company recently Incorporated to build a line to Eaiem and beyond.

Roberts of Daw son. ars guests at ths Parkins hotel, after sis years roughing It among the mining camps of the -Yukon country. Mr. Roberts for years traveled the Paelflo northwest as a commercial drummer for eastern dry goods firms, and six' years ago he became so deeply interested In mining that he quit ths road and took up a number of claims on crseks In the country tributary to Dawson. His wife Joined him a year later, and With the exception of ons or two brief sojourns In ths states both of th.ra havs sines spent their lives tn ths mining camps. Mrs. Rob.rU Is fond of ths far north and thinks ths climate there possessss ad vantages over that of -Portland. "Dawson ls dull Just now," says Mr. Roberta "While the city and its sur rounding territory ,1s still ths richest mining camp to bs found anywhere, business at Dawson is slow, and I doubt If it will again havs ths business It formerly had. The reason is that there ars settlements started all through ths country for SO miles around Daw son, and all of these have their stores and means of transportation entlrsly Independent of Dawson, so thst ths busi ness that ones centered at Dawson Is now distributed smong many widely sep arated merchants. There are at the pressnt tims fsr too many people In that country for the good of thoae who srs there. The last trip I made by boat to Dawson there were SO people going In. Only four of them . stayed, the others finding It so over-crowded and times so dull that they immediately made arrangements to leava on tbs ssms boat Many went to Nome. Nearly all the rich ground Is taken, and ons null go a long dlstsncs out now to get a claim of any great value. Ths very rich dirt is worked In many cases, snd it is now necessary to havs machinery In order to work-ths lower grade dirt at a large profit The Tanana liver country has many good mines, and on Sulphur creek especially there has been some very rich ground found. - It Is now sll taken up, snd sums ranging from one to two- hundred thousand . dollars hsvs been taken out of some of the claims.
