As a k consequence. It. Is explained mat tne trans-raciflc liners will continue to coal In the far east unless the price of the fuel should again be raised materially.

Local steamship men and shippers generally eay that If the Japanese should decide to make another advance in the-price of their, coal It will' on - doubtedly cause . many of the oriental liners to get what fuel they-require at Faclno coast porta. It la believed that Mitsui Co. wUl Increase the price of the product very ebortly. In that event It le asserted the number oz steamer - which would coal at Portland would be sufficient to swell the export business from the .Willamette river to fully .one third more than Ita ' present propor tional . It would then' be necessary to operate a fleet bringing coal to Port land from the Coos bay country In order to keep the big freighters going oat of here supplied with fueL ' l LAST TWO ENGAGED.

'( i Manager Ransom of ' the Eastern Western Lumber eompany filed a com plaint with Harbormaster Ben Biglln against a number of navigation compa nies for permitting their boats to race through the harbor. He declares they exceed the limit of six miles an hour, aa specified by a city ordinance,. He says that a number of the log rafts mads fast near the , mill have broken loose from their moorings. Aside from the Inconvenience caused, the company has been put to considerable expense In getting the timbers back to their moor ings. . . ? . ' Thla Is the first eomplslnt to be made this season about' the racing of boats In the harbor. Mr. Hlglln says he in tends to investigate and to arrest the first captain he finds ignoring the or dinance. A test case, was mad last yesr to ascertain if the city had the right to regulate the speed of boats In the harbor, and the court decided that It had. Previous to this decision, many of the river captains took the ground that river and harbor matters were wholly regulated by the war department Aa a consequence they paid little heed to the ordinance. .
