LUmBERCARRIERS
COM III DEMIID
Steam Schooners Tamalpais
. and; Shasta Secure
Charters.
WILL LOAD HERE
FOR SAN PEDRO
Order tor More Than 40,000,000
i Feet of Mining Timbers and Lum
ber Placed With ..Local Mills Dur
ing Past Few Day.
' The sleani schooners Ttmalpals and
Shasta were charts ted yesterday to carry
lumber from this port to San Pedro, and
it la reported that several. other steam
schooners Uiat have not 'been here for
some time will bo brought jbaclt to the
trade. The Tamalpais and Shasta carry
'- about 700,000 feet each to the trip.
Large quantities of lumber Is being
bought for the interior of California,
Arizona and Mexico, and most of it will
be forwarded from here to Ban Fran
rlsco and san Pedro for transshipment.
One firm this wk closed a. deal for
3 0,00,000 feet, and another Is said to
have booked In the neighborhood of JO,
000.000 feet for future delivery. To
move this enormous quantity of lumber
will require the steady employment of
A respectable fleet of steam schooners,
the styia of craft now handling practi
cally all of the lumber In the coastwise
trade. ' , J .
Aa a result of the Increasing ship
ments, freights are "reported to have
advanced nearly $1 per 1000 feet, the
ruling rate to 3an Francisco being I4.J6.
and about 15 to San Pedro or other
Tiorts along the coast of southern Cali
fornia. -. . ' '
This price Is low, however, as com
pared with what freights were a little
more than a year ago, prior to tha busi
ness depression, when lumber droghers
earned their own cost in a year's time
with lumber freights at $8 to Ban Fran
cisco, and $18 or $11 to southern ports.
At that time any old tub was pressed
Into service, jeven lumber laden barges
and iiu.lks being aeni to sea In tow of
Uff"ts expected that if freights continue
to advance another dollar or so the fleet
, of sailing schooners Iving idle along the
coast wil again be pressed Into service.
Under existing condition they stand
little chance with the more reliable
, steam craft. ; j
MANY AVAILABLE BOATS
Several Rivermen Would Supply
Port Commission' Wants.
That the Port of Portland wilt have a
large number of boats to draw from
when It begins to figure on the pur
chase of towboats for the river service
is predicted: it being- said that there are
half a doaen or more steamboat owners
who would be pleased to have an oppor
tunity to dispose of their property. And
to make the matter tha more interest
ing, it is argued that every one will
contend that his Is the very one 'boat
that would fill the bill. ,
The Port of Portland will ejlJher build
or buy at least one eternJfflieel boat
. with the three proposed ocean , going
tugs when It gets ready to take charge
; of the towage and pilotage systems be
tween Portland and the sea and It is
aid the R. A N. Co. -will no doubt
be glad io dispose of Its two-towboats,
Oklahama and Harvest Queen, although
for awhile it was believed that : the
company would rather place them on
some regular route than to let them go.
But river men say the railroad company
Is not overpleased with being in thei
' steamboat ' business and would prefer
getting rid or me Doats ir u can ds,
. done without too much of a sacrifice.
Again, it is said that other have boats
to sell and they -will demand considera-
for settlements
. Chief Engineer Lockwood's jrepert pre!
sented tothe Port of Portland commis
sion i yesterday - afternoon favors the
building of new boat however, and if
that suggestion ia followed out, the
rurt win irano uuaia iv mnaiv me low
ng until the new craft are ready for,
service.' ;
" ALONG THE WATERFRONT.
The steamer Alliance, Cap tarn Olson,
sailed last night for Coos Bay, Captain
E.' D. Parsons, who -will succeed .Cap
tain Olson next trip, was one or tne pas.

The steamer Homef, Captain Dorrlna.
will be at Oak street dock this morning
from Ban Francisco.. She reached As
toria yesterday afternoon and left up
but waa prevented from making rapid
. progress up the river by the dense fog.
-The Norwegian steamer Admiral Bor
reson will complete her lumber cargo
tor shanghai at tne at. Johns mils
the early part of thla week. The cargo
is being dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie

- Tha schooner Samar, which has been

Has returned from Europe and will
use the new - WIESBADEN
METHOD of testing eyes, which
caused so. much talk in France and

ACCURATE and ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT, and gives splendid re

eye, especially in cases of eye strain
and headaches, for close or distance
use. . No extra charge will be made
for the use of this system. , You will

Portland Rose Festival next June and
to spend a whole month or more on the

mation is contained In a request by one
of the biggest tourist agencies of the
east, which was received by the festi
val management a day or two ago. The
"an tie red throng"-from ; the City of
Brotherly Love expect to leave their na
tive haunts Just as soon as the various
transcontinental railroads put their low
excursion rates "into effect, the latter
part of May.
They will come direct to Portland
and will proceed by slow and easy.
stages down the coast, and will arrive
at Los Angeles the first of July, to
be "there in time for the opening of
the next grand lodge convention in
that city. Philadelphia entertained the
Elks' order last July, the grand lodge
being held there,' and a "large fund was
raised to defray- the expenses of a
strong team to come out 40 the coast
to win a portion of the ?40,000 id prises
which has been offered for the com
petitions at Los Angeles next summer
Aitnougn only tentative arrange

of the large eastern lodges are nlannlng
a month or six weeks on the "sunset
slops" In June, 1909. The itinerary is
being worked out so as to Include not
only the grand lodge session In the
City of Angels, but the Rose Festival

position at Seattle.
. Never in the historv of the country
Lhave eastern tourists been able to take
advantage or such a comprehensive ar
ray of fun and feasting, sightseeing
and entertainment as will be offered
them on the Pacific coast next summer.
The transcontinental railroads have ar
ranged so that their tickets will be good
for stopovers at almost any point where
tha travelers desire to linger tor a day
or two.
Seattle will give them as great a na
