Schwerin, vice-president and. general manager of the Herriman steam 1 ship lines, who arrived yesterday morn ing on '.a. short : business trip. For the' past five months Mr. Schwerin haa been In New York, and only returned to the coast a few daya. ago; ho came from, San Francisco In af private, car and guarded hla movements wltH1 so much se crecy that very few of hla acquaint ances knew that lie waa In the city yes terday. . ,.-;. . ,v . : Thla Za Xla Baay Tear. ' "When you last saw me." beaan Mr. Schwerin, with a laugh, "I said I would return to Portland rn a month and would ' make frequent tripe here. That will be a year ago tn August, I fully' Intended to return at -frequent Intervals., but vol amee 'of business prevented It I am here oa a general inspection of tha local agency. The greater part of yesterday afternoon I spent on the waterfront. but I do not contemplate maktna any changes or Improvementa of the docka at present. - " When aaked if a third steamer would be added to tha Portland-San Francisco fleet la order to take care of the pas senger traffic, the general manager said: "No." ...- ,,., - "I tried to close deals for the ateam era Valencia- and Senate, operated . by the Paclfio Coast Steamahlp company," he stated, "but evidently they are dolnir too well where they are. Every steamer on the coast appears to be fully em ployed. I foreaaw what the eltuatlou would, likely be last aprlng and endeav ored to get another ateamer at that time; with the aame, result aa now. - .. "But so far as eastern travelers are -concerned they are not ao badly dis commoded aa they might be. stall or Water for Tlattora. "They have the option -of going to ' San Francisco either by ateamer or -rail. .If they dealre to go on a steamer It will be necessary for them to engag staterooms in advance. In taking pas- ' sage on almost any. Atlantlo liner It Is necessary to pursue the same course." Mr. Schwerin admitted his long stay in New York and Washington waa for, the purpose of making arrangement with the government for carrying freight to Panama during the eonatreo ton of the canal. When the Panama railroad was opened by a private cor poration the Paolfto Mall Steamahlp Una 7 handled all its freight by contract. But when the government took over tha railroad the contract was abrogated un der a six months' notice, and other llnee have , been asked to. compete far the trade. - r-.'-.. ..-.' T "It Is likely that our steamers will be forced off the run," he aald. "The matter will terminate In Juat that way If the Paclfio Mall Steamship company or the Bouth American de Va Porea Ilea- la permitted to enter Intox competition with us. Both lines are eubeMlsed, th former br the British and the letter by thai Chilean government, and n sequent? we will lie unehte to do I , ness on the same seals with them."
