IS NOT CONFIRMED
Arrlvrd Hera Several Day Ago
With fcargo of Coal Front lloji,
Japan, and la Now ' Lying Idle
Waiting for Order From Owners.
It U Mid today that Uncle Sam's war
' department - la contemplating charter
ing the Brltlah steamer Woodford (or
a tarni of ona year to aet as a collier.
Tha Woodford la at tha Independent
coal-bunkers - watting for instructions,
and rumora concerning herr . future
movementa ara Hying thick and fast.
The other day the-report was sent
from Victoria. Brltlah Columbia, that
aha had been purchased kjr tha Brltlah
. Columbla-liaxlcaa Steamship company
io , operate in conjunction with the
ateamers Geore1 and Lonsdale between
Mexico and Victoria, but thla report
has not been confirm ed. Captain Bed
don says ha has heard nothing from
hie owners. Watt 4b Watts, concerning
the Reported sale, aa ha thinks" ha would
had tha deal been consummated.
-' Officers of tha ateamer eay that In
a communication from tha owners It la
stated that she wlll.poaalbly be char
tered to tha United fltatea government
to carry coal. Bho Is well equipped for
tha coal traffic, harlot capacity for
4. 00 tons, although . registering leas
than 1,00 tona net. v
Tha Woodford brought a cargo of
coal from MoJL Japan, and finished
discharging a few Oaya ago. If char
tered to tha government, her first as
signment will probably be to carry coal
to tne rmuppmea. . , - . .
STEAMERS CO CROWDED.
Coos Bay .Business Increasing
, Bate That Is Astonishing.---
- Portland merchants ara toalng much
business because - of tha inadequate
transportation facilities between this
tort snd Coos bay. A week ago a Arm
lost 11 (.00 worth of buslnesa because
tha order could not be filled owing to
tha lack of a -vessel anywheres near at
hand to deliver tha goods. . And thla la
said to be only one - Instance out af
nany. Tha trade wtta Cooa la growing
even mora rapidly than tha moat aaa-
a-ulne would Imagine.
. Tha ateamer F. A. Kilbura arrlyad laat
night from San Francisco ria Eureka
and Cooa bay with full cargo of
freight and about tha average number
of passengers. A feature of tha cargo
was a large Quantity of peas from Euv
Mlf .. Tli. m. lln th. M..I mtmm
in Una time but tha voyage south waa
low Decause or oaa weainer . ana. a
light accident to tba ell pnmpe when
off Point Reyes. Tha Kllbum wlU sail
tomorrow night with every ' Inch of
cargo space . oecupled. Agent -Baker
oamplalns because ot having to leave
several hundred tona of freight behind.,
Arrangementa have bees made, however,
wo thit iii rrehrht now on tha dock will
ve taken ears af. The agent ceased re
ceiving freight a week ago yesterday.
' It Is aald that the trade with tba
Cooa country could be doubled if only
better trarflc arrangements could be se
cured. Large amounta of gooda ara
being bought In Baa Franelaoo because
It can be shipped from there, but the
merchants would rather deal here, which
,la tha logical market by reason of tha
geographical position. .
Tbe steamer ' Alliance will leave to
morrow night for Cooa bay and since
llrfie. will return without going further
IT south, It la hoped that tha situation will
be greatly relieved. Henceforth tha Al
liance will ba devoted to tba Coos bay
traffin only, .tha Intention, being, to
'operate btr on a weekly schedule!
